LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
The VivaciOus Girls.

They are of two kinds. She of
mock vivacity laughs at everything,
no matter how trivial, and says, "Oh,
how funny you are !! at every remark
she hears. She can swim, and ride,
play lawn tennis-all of which accom-
plishments, in the face of her tightly
laced waist, fill one with a real admir-
alton for her prowess, in spite Of her
odious manners. She is always trying
to say something witty; is addicted to
the punning habit; talks of learning
to box; is so glad girls nowadays
have some spirit"-as much as to say,
"You see before you Il complete speci-
men of the admirable creature l de-
SCRIBE" and is, generally loud, slangy,
and egotistical.
The genuinely vivacious girl is as
sweet as a rose, and as restful, after
the other sort passes, as a rainbow
after a tearing rain-storm. There are
indications that her sort is going to be
fashionable again. Let us hope so.
-Good Cheer.

A Quartet, or No Wedding.

They are twins, and their possession
of witchery is quite sufficient for two.
Really and truly nice girls they are,
and l wouldn't for the world say one
blessed word against thelu; but I would
like to smash their mamma into smith
ereens-the old ghoul. She wants to
husband her daughters, and they are
willing to lie husbanded, but she i'm
poses such an absurd condition that
they may just rs we'll settle down for
old maidenhood. They must 60 to-
gether, for on no account will she
divide them. They walk, sit, eat and
sleep side by side. The latter ar
~rangement is the only n Of those I
have mentioned that the old m is
willing to break up, for she insists
that they shall be courted, engaged
and married simultaneously. When
ever a single wooer approaches one or
the other he is shooed off by the
mother. Fellows must come in pairs
to get a counting chance 1T these girls.
Once this season they had two stimuli
taneous beauX. The old dame smiled
until her false teeth fell into her lap,
and her whole skeleton threatened to
tumble into view, too. The wooing
went along with celebrity for a while,
but at last one chap withdrew from
the lists. The other popped the ques-
ton, and the chosen maiden was will
ling to say yes, but a maternal man
date compelled her to dismiss her lover,
because the other twin hadn't caught
on. So these sweet things are handi-
capped, and l sympathetically call at
tention to their case, in the hope that
twin brothers--or any two fellows
with PRECISELY similar tastes - may

Hurricanes mt Honolulu.

"Talk about tornadoes and cyclones"
said Reserve Officer Stark. "People
living in this section Of the country
don't know what they are. In the
neighborhood Of the Sand wich islands,
and particularly off Honolulu, which
is at the head of the l%andlocked harbor,
is the place for hurricanes. The noun
tains back Of Honolulu are saw
shaped and they have a queer effect
on the atmospheric currents. There
is no anchorage outside the harbor and
vessels that don't care to tonch at
Honolulu usually lay off aud on as
the sailors have it. while they send a
boat ashore. I have seen a half a doz-
en- ships lying off Honolulu within
hailing distance of each other-one in
a shower Of rain. another in a dead
calm, with a bright sun shining over
head; a third in a smooth breeze, and q
fourth in such a gale that everything
had to be close-reefed.
different air currents are so close
together and SO sharply defined that I
have been standing on the deck of q
vessel with the sun shining brightly
overhead and not air enough moving
to fill the sails, while within ten feet
Of me on one side it was raining big
guns, and not twenty feet the other
way blowing a regular hurricane. l
never shall forget one incident. It
was about noon and I was leaning over
the port rail amidships. There wasn't
air enough blowing to lift a feather.
Suddenly I heard a roar and knew
that a tornado vas passing by the ship.
1t was so close that when I stretched
out my hand the wind struck it with
such a force that I was whirled conf
pletely around. Our port anchor,
which weighed about a ton and a half,
was hanging on the rail forward, and
the same gust struck n of the fiukes.
1t tore loose the fastening, whirled
that anchor through the air like a
bit Of thistle down, and left it hanging
on the main yard-arm. 1t put us to a
heap of trouble to get it down again"

fui mother and On one dimpled finger
sparkled the signet ring.
The grand old courtier who bowed
over her preferred hand, said: "Your
face and your bearing establish your
identity for I knew your parents and
grandparents, but this signet ring sub
Stimulates your rightful ownership to
the estates beyond a doubt"
The designing knight and his SER
want were banished from the country.
Young Prince Basil was sent for ard
most gladly returned home. The
crown prince and princess and a great
retinue from court came to the we'd
ding and the feast surpassed anything
that had been in the castle for hum
dreds of years.
At the wedding dinner the Princess
Philippine found an almond with two
kernels.
"These stands for you and me-" she
said to her husband; you shall have
one kernel and 1 will have the other"
"Thanks, my love-" said the prince.
"I4et me have the kernel that repre-
sents yourself and l will wear it, that
you may never again be lost away
from me-"
Here is your Philippine" said the
princess, "and with it 1 give my sig
net ring, that stands for all my posses
sions. for since I threw it away and it
was saved for me by a spider, against
all whose kind 1 have all my life
waged war, it humiliates me every
time my eyes falls upon it, and 1
think l ought to pay some penalty for
my foolishness and for my ill-treat-
ment of yourself"
But did l not cry philippine my
dearest one! the my eye fell
upon you OF my return" said the
prince,-"to show you that 1 never
held anger against you in my heart"
At this all the young people who
found double almonds began to eat
them with some chosen friend, and
since they all had not signet rings to
bestow, it came to be a custom that
the ont who should first cry "Philip-
pine" after an absence should receive
a gift, and the custom continues
among young people in all countries
to this day.-Sprinafeld Republican.

"Churning" for CLANS.

Two-thirds Of the clans are got by
"churning." The clam gang wades
out over the bed and shovels up mud
and clans and everything that comes
along into big wire baskets. which.
when about full, are lifted out of the
water, and a rinsing and shaking
washes out the mud and leaves the
clans. Two men and a boy attend to
each basket, n man shoveling in the
mud, the second getting out the clans.
and the boy "culling' them. Churn.
ing can only be done at about half
tide, when the water is two or three
feet deep, as. by the time the workman
has to put his head under water, when
he bends yer at shoveling, he soon
has TO give up the job. The suction
on the shovels is tremendous, and
they are made exceptionally strong.
When there are good tides. on the full
and change OF the moon, the clans
may be raked out after the name of
the non-professional digger; a shovel
full of mud is turned up at a time. and
the clans it contains are raked out
with a clam-hoe. Consideration Of
either of the above methods is sufici-
ent for a true understanding of the
happiness of the clam at high water.
The clam ordinarily lies in the mud
from two to eighteen inches; a clam
that would bury itself much deeper
than eighteen inches is not to be look
ed upon with favor.-P,opidence

I'm the Middle Ages.

In those old days it was possible for
a woma to purchase a royal license
to marry "whom she would" always
granted with the proviso that it was
Eot to be n Of the kings enemies.
Widows very often had recourse to
this measure maidens more rarely.
With the former it might denote either
in attachment to some particular per-
son or a mere desire not to be forced
into remarriage, but a spinster who
was not a III was never heard q: in
the Middle Ages. There were n very
few old bachelors-rare phenomena
Tut an old maid was never seen out
side the cloister. The nearest ap-
proach to it was in the case of a few
ladies difficult to please, who della ed
marriage until middle ago was reached.
It was rarely that this could be the
case, since they We're seldom allowed
to please themselves. The color which
was pretty certain not to be worn ut a
wedding vas white, for white was the
deepest possible mourning, and was
worn by widows Immediately after be-
reavement. Medieval education was
a very different thing to that of the
present day. Among the higher
classes, both sons and daughters were
sent into tho service Of a gentleman or

duties Of gentle people. Why they
were not taught at home is not quito
clear; probably Il better discipline was
secured under stranger guardianship.
A girl was thoroughly trained in
housewifery, medicine, and some slight
surgery, if fortunately placed, needle
work, ETC.. sometimes to read and to
write, also. The boys were trained in
warlike arts, to ride, to shoot, ETC.;
most frequently the reading and writ
ing were omitted in their case. Royal
personages were obliged to study both
reading and writing, and the royal
signatures are interesting and often
characteristic. Henry Wills hand is
very characteristic; doubtless, as Isaac
Drsr.eli has said Of him, she split
many a good pen" Mary wrote a
pretty Italian hand, but rather sprawl
ing and irregular. Never could any
lady write q more beautiful hand than
the early Italian one of Elizabeth; and
l hope no lady over wrote any uglier
than the horrible scrawl of her queen

A Poetic Tail.

A thoughtless boy with a shining
pail went singing gaily down tAe dale,
to where a sad-eyed COW with a brin1
die tail on clover sweet did herself
regale. A humble bee did gaily sal
over the soft and Swallowed vale, Tx
where the boy with the shining PHI
was milking the cow with the brinW
tail. The bee lit down on the COW
right ear, her heels flew up throy
the atmosphere-and through
leaves of a big oak tie the boy SAT
into eternity. -Oregon Reporter.

South Cardinals Phosphate Deposits

A member of a New York firm who
has received an order for dredges for
use in excavating phosphate in South
Carolina reports that industry rs es-
pecially prosperous. and that 100000
tons of this material is now being dug
up as against $4,000 tons in 1888.
The phosphate rock bed of South Car
DINA now supplies the world with the
chief part of all the phosphate of lime
used in the manufacture of CONNER
cial fertilizers, and this industry was
unknown there until 1868. The great
est length Of this phosphate bed is
about seventy miles, the city of
Charleston being about the center Of
the most accessible deposits 1t crops
out at the surface in many places and
is found distributed over large areas
at the bottom of many Of the rivers.
1t is mined in three ways-by open
quarrying and digging in the land; by
dredging and graphing with powerful
steam machines in deep water; by
hand picking and with tongs in shall
low streams. Its average price is
about Sc a ton, and the State levies a
tax of n dollar a ton on all that is
shipped. making it an important item
of revenue. These phosphates are the
remains of ancient animal life, and
fragments are brought up not only
representing the tapir, horse, elephant,
and mastodon, but amphibious ones,
such as the seal. dugong, walrus, etc.

NoeSH
Pendant or drop buttons fasten
many bodices.
Old-fashioned pearl picot edges for
ribbons are revived.
Black and white lace have the pat
tern outlined with tinseI.
Plastron waistcoats of beads are
shown among fancy fall novelties.
Fine wool stockinette jerseys are
dotted with tiny points of chenille.
Jackets made of silk or wooden lace
are again revived, after a ten years
rest.
Lizards, spiders, butterflies. mice
and ravens are some of the odd fancies
in .iewelry.
Turkish and Indian embroideries
are very much used for trimming can
vas dresses.
White vests are made of Turkish
toweling, and buttoned with small
pearl buttons.
Many overskirts are slashed only on
n side. but the slash extends all the
way to the waist.
Roman sashes and those Of wide,
watered ribbon are woIn with jerseys
and round waists.
Cream and white lace are worn over
foundations of chartreuse, amber,
orange, pink and blue.
Curled mohair and astrachan bor-
ders appear on wool novelties for fall
and early winter wear.
Byzantine designs and colors are
novelties, and they will probably be
extensively used for trimmings.
Colored plastrons covered with black
tulle OF lace are used with black cos
tunes, but are not intended for street
wear.
Some Of the handsomest fancy
woollen cloths show very dark green
interviewer with two shades of blue,
describing a small check on the dark
green ground.
Wood, lead, porcelain. glass, and
gold beads of large and various sizes
are used to make passementeries,
motifs, braids, and galloons as decora-
tive as possible.
The detached dog collar of velvet to
be orn with any dress is made very
high. and trimmed with handsome
Irish crochet or old F%lorentine cut
work falling over it at the top.
New Jersey jackets have seams just
like any other jacket or basque, and
the waistcoat is the almost invariable
eature in the latest importations and
productions of these articles.
Rich silk princesse dresses have
sashes folded and tackled around the
waist and arranged in a deep point in
front, below which the skirt slants
back like the basques of a redingote.

were reflected in the still black
waters of the moat.
"Ah ! what is that?" she cried, for
just below her, even within reach of
her hand the signet ring hung secure
ly caught in the meshes Of an ancient,
closely . spiders web. Although
the spider was close by. curiously re-
garding this singular prey, the prin-
cess did not mind, but reached down
and secured the ring without fear.
AS she did so, standing there in front of
the portraits of her parents, she seemed
to hear their voices, explaining once
more the significance of the ring. and
setting forth her duty to all the de-
pendent people living on her estate.
ITO whom much is given much
shall be required" she said half aloud.
Dear me how selfish I have been,"
and securing the ring to a chain
fastened about her neck, she. too, ran
down the winding stairs, quite regard
less Of her linen wrap that lay forgot
ten on the dusty oaken floor of the
gallery, and astonished her servants
by dispatching courier with a letter

The knight meanwhile had set all
the laborers about the estate to draw
the water off from the moat and search
the muddy bottom for the ring. While
they were thus engaged. with the
knight in the greatest excitement and
