Many bride goes out from an old home
TO a new one loaded down with what is real
ly little else than stock OF goods that would
only be at home in a show case of silver
plated ware or among the treasures of a
''rolled gold brass foundry. The craze Of
miscellaneous gift-giving has reached such
mammoth proportions and taken on such Oh
jectionable features, that gift has come to
be looked upon as ''small potatoes" and the
giver as being "mesn" unless it shall be ex-
pensiye and pretentious.
This condition Of the present giving mar
ket-for it is little else than a market-robs
the soul of man Of one of its most sacred
elements, that Of the privilege of making
proper expression of the existence and
strength of personal regard and true friend
ship. An appropriate, appreciative and ap-
precated gift, passing unostentatiously from
friend to friend, tends to permanently ce-
ment the bonds of good d-fellowship, to keep
bright the sunlight of affection and personal
regard, which the coarser elements, that
prompt to giving for fame or fashions sake,
or from selfish motives and purposes, know
not of.
Lovers too often impoverish themselves
aud do violence to good judgment and sound
sense and insult the sentiment they seek to
serve, by injudicious, inappropriate and un-
timely gifts. A love that may be bought by
show and pretence alone, is neither worth the
giving or receiving, or of having about the
house in any form.
Volumes might be written on this subject,
bristling with good and telling points, but
Good Housekeeping has only space here to
ask this question of its readers Il it not
high time for the higher life of the house
hold to command halt of the popular gift
giving procession, with the view of making
a right about face in the direction of better
judgment, better sense and better purpose

A new process for the manufacture of steel
is attracting much attention among manu-
facturers because it promises to successfully
compete with the Bessemsr process. 1t is
called the Clspp-Grifii,h process and fourteen
plants have already been licensed. The work
of the puddlers is done by machinery. The
product is a steel very low in carbon which
can be worked and welded as easily az the
softest iron. One great advantage claimed is
that it will utilize the high phosphorus ores of
the Lake Superior region at better prices. 1t is
also claimed that this new system will check
the importation of ores, az ores high in phos-
phorus which have hitherto been of no value,
will be available. It's adoption will be a gen
eral revolution. Pudding will be done away
with and considerable labor will be displaced.
The reports of manufacturers are all favorR-
ble, many declaring that it is superior TO any
thing which has yet been discovered in the
iron line

Gen Sherman was once asked why he and
Sheridan always acknowledged Grant as their
leader, and quickly responded Because,
while could map out dozen plans for a
campaign, every one of which Sheridan would
swear he could fight ont to victory, neither
he nor could tell which of the plans was
the best one; but Grant, who simply sat
and listened aud smoked while we had been
talking over the maps, would at the end
of our talking tell which WAS the best plan,
and in a dozen or two words the reason of
his decision, and then it would be all so clear
TO us that he was right that Sheridan and
would look at each other and wonder why
we hadn't seen the advantage of it ourselves. u
Gen. Sherman on the same occasion express
ed the opinion that Grant is the greatest
commander of modern times, aud with him
he classes only Napoleon, Wellington and
Moltke.

A monkey and parrot once
Left IN a room together
Began to fight, and fought so hard
They nearly killed each other.
Their mistress coming home perceived
Their wrongs they had been righting,
And said to them, 'I'm deeply grieyed

'aidekong' and 'revaya.' I wrote TO Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan as 10 army usage on
these points. They all agree that 10 this case
we should say 'aid.de-oamp' and 'revalee.
They also agree that in England as well as
in France, It is usage TO say 'aidekonR.' In
the United States the army and West Point
constitute the authority on pronunciation.

And prim and formal as a Quaker.

Gayly comes the rain along;
Twinkling In the sun, skipping as for fun;

Singing thus merry song:

Bringing life aud health TO thee,
Kissing the flowers that love Us so,
Slipping TO arms Of grasses low,
Making cen the oak more strong"

Softly as a tear shed for dead one dear,
Sadly, sadly falls the rain;
Dripping from the caves, weeping DER tue leaves,
Sympathzing with your pain,
Singing now sweet refrain:

Here you weep, but there you'll smile;
Surely the soul will nud its God,
Just as our drops upon the sod
Always reach the clouds again" H.

But the French guillotine is perhaps the
most terror striking of all If a terrible
mode of execution would curdle the blood
of the wicked and tend to prevent crime
then the guillotine ought to be the approved
method. At the same time it Is as speedy
and painless as any. 1t is very simple, as
you observe. There are two heavy up
right timbers held together by cross-beam
at the top. Heavy timbers below fix them
to the ground and steady them The up
rights are grooved on the inside. and the
groove is smoothed and oiled to give it the
minimum of friction. A very heavy knife
placed obliquely, is what sewers the head.

table, the ring, opening in the middle
for the head, the CHASTITY bucket or basket,
all tell their own story. Tbs head is sew
cred from the body at one stroke of the
knife, and falls into the vessel below. To
make the scene more terri BILE, the coffin of
the condemned is placed beside the guillo-
tine upon the ground. From the guillotine
