Her housekeeping is elaborate, anu she
is competent to ''Doss" the housekcep-
ing OF her married daughters, though
principle may forbid lier to do 1t. She
attends concerts, is a keen critic of the
play and players, reads the monthlies,
weekhes and dailes has strong party
convictions, croclets, knits rugs, en-
Groidors table scaris!, goes to church and
lmuscs her grandchildren. She dress
es with an art that admits age but does
not suggest suptranuation, and is, al
together, All important iig ure.
Mankind is apt to'ignore its benefac.
tors, among whom. conspicuous for
their benefits. are the dentists. Per-
fectly lifting false teeth have done more
TO postpone age tian any one physi-
cal cause, Before their use was gcner-
al, old people were never erproperly nour-
iShcd, because their food was never as
simulated. Their thin blood kept them
in shiyering discomfort close to the fire
in the one or two rooms which were
habitually comfortable in winter. They
looked and felt in the way, and grew
querulous and exacting. They could
not exercise. The dlnlculty Of bathing
and dressing made them Indifferent a.
bout personal attractiveness. The
adoption Of falso teeth, the more uni
orln heating Of houses, the general use
Of modern improvements chat take ac-
count Of all bodily necessities, and that
profoundly wise decree of fashion which
insists on the natural gray hair, for
bidding both dyes and wigs to old pco-
plo, and condemning the hideous "false
'front.' Of an earlier generation to outer
darkness, these, Of themselves, might
have made age young again.
But these have implied other chang
es. Habits Of travel have been formed.
Variety instead Of monotony OF cxis.
tence has been secured. Most potent
OF all, life has become interesting. 1t
ia related Of il certain leader OF society
that at thirty.ive she retired from the
gay world, her hair having become o
gray that her young daughters thought it
frivolous and indecorous for her to at
tend daucing parties. Having married
oil those intolerant guardians, she be-
gan life on her own account, as it were,
ana now at eightyf0ur is Indispensable
at committee-rooms and receptions,
walks her five miles without njnching,
and plays the Moonlight Sonata" with
Incompatible grace.
Our d0wager has found the true elixir
Of youth, which is mental energy. Men
and women appear young by feeling
young. They feel young by being VI
tally interested in the pursuits Of youth,
prosperity, enjoyment, culture and tho
improvement Of the race. The mind
commands the obedient body to be ready
and alert.

The man now fix M his ga a thin
wreath Of smoke that curled lazily
from q distant chimney. In fact, the
house WAS so low and 80 deeply buried
in the flcecy mass that only the Chin

this house that the wanderer was MAX

by frequent stnmbles, as he met depres-
sions in the ground which the snow had
filled up. AT last he reached the goal.
A bright light shone through the frosty
window, and Il shadowy form passed and
repassed before it. The man pressed
his face upoll tho pane. The room into
which he looked was rude but comfor-

was burning, and over it a tea-kettle
steamed clieerly. Above the fireplace
were several little stockings, varying

material, and sew them together at the

each with cover to it, which may be

Place these about two inches apart, be-

the pocket to one bag and the other side
to the other. Make Sits through both
bags about an inch long, just above the
pockets, so that you can put your hand
in the bags and, by inserting your
thumb and finger through these slits,
you may obtain entrance to the pockets
and bring out of them whatever they
contain. 1t is, Of course, necessary
that a variety Of articles should be put
in the pockets. Before commencing
the trick yon may turn the bag inside
out any number Of times, so that your
audience may conclude that it is quite
empty. You can then cause to appear
or disappear any number Of articles Of

Of your audience.

An Unoxpoo,od Huggfng.

AS the Allegheny Talley railroad
train bound northward stopped at the
station recently a half-grown girl, ac-
companicd by u man, descended to the
platform. The man looked around an
xiously, as if III search Of another train.
The girl also looked around anxiously,
but she didn't seem to care about anoth-
or train. She was pretty, but there
was a restless expression III her eye
which indicated an aching void that
trains could never ill.
A telegraph messenger boy, struck
with her beauty. gaZed at her with Il
freedom that attracted her wandering
attentions Just as tho man who ac-
companied her stcpp ed into tho station
to inquire If tho Buffalo, Now York
and Philadelphia train was on timo the
girl flew at The admiring messenger
boy, folded him in her arms and hugged
him rapturously.
"Oh, you dear, darling, sweet little
thingW exclaimed tho girl, in u voice
tremulous with unrestralned emotion.
Again she showered kisses upon his
cheeks, which were blushing rs only
those OF q o-thc.business messen-
ger 10y can blush. Again she frantic
ally pressed him to her Gosom and broko
out into passionate words, uttered in
equally passionate tones: ''Kiss me
againl Oh, do kiss mel Don't turn
from me-"
The boy evidently didn't know what
to make Of it. lie would have enjoyed
1t more il crowd had not assembled
TO witness the proceedings, but he was
too bashful to hug before Il crowd. He
toro himself from her embrace and
rushed down the platform. Tho girl
fairly flow aftor him, like Atalanta in
the NEUROLOGICAL r;lce. She was gain
ing on him, and IN one minute moro
would have been ilugglng him at tic
end Of tho platform, When the man en-
erged from the station door.
"IIcllol" SAID he as he looked at the
spn' where he had left the girl.
'WhWreis -" But the direction
which the crowd Of loungers had taken
made it unnecessary for him to finish
the equcstion. lie looked down The plat
form and in kind but q firm voice
shouted, "Nellie!''
Nellie started as if sno had been shot.
The fugitive messenger boy, who was
still running as never messenger boy
ran before, had no further attractions
Tor her. Timid and subaued in man
ner, as though fearful Of rcproof, she
rejoined her companion. Just then the
Titusyille train came up and they got
aboard.
"Crazy?" said the handsome station
agent. "Yes; hos taking her to the
North Warren asylum. or course she's

The woman answered in q few kind
words.

shrank farther into the dusly corner.

the statement of contemplated i'm

vice. According to the reported
plan, the fast Atlantic liners, the
Alaska and Oregon, are to be put
on the route. A packet will make
communication between Auckland
and Fiji, and the steamships will
proceed from the latter point direct
to Sydney. The transcoutinental
time is to be reduced, and altogether
the journey between London and
Sydney is to be brought down to
thirty days.
To-day the first of a series of
articles descriptive of the Govern
ment schools of Honolulu appears
in the BULLETIN. This one is on the
Fort Street School, and in succeed
ing issues the Royal and the Pohu-
kama Schools will be discussed in
order. These articles, written by a
member of our staff, will form a
comprehensive account of public
educational work in the capital of
the kingdom. The numbers con-
tanning these reports will be excel
lent ones to send abroad, as scarcely
better criterion of the standard of
n country's civilization can be given
than its educational system.
