Forever" he replied.
And their lips met.

The town Of Noesis exists still. Its in
habitants are yet seeking to penetrate the
arcana of nature. Logarithms, ords, and
abscissas are their joy by day, and paral-
lakes, elliptics, and spectrum analysis are
against Greek and Latin, and point the
finger of scorn at belles-lettres. They live
in the domain of pure reason, surrounded
by set of fixed laws reducible to mathe-
matical formula. Doubtless they fancy
themselves the happiest people on earth,
but some day they will learn to know the
truth, for Alfred and Hypatia are ever with
them, preaching the gospel of poetry and
love

A Fashionable Innovation.

Here is O startling piece of information
The fashionable amusement this season is
to be knitting silk stockings-men's half
hose, girls. The days of macrame lace are
in the past. The crazy quilt has fulfilled
it's mission and gone-but knitting-beau-
tiful, useful and gracious employment-is
Just the toniest thing out. 1t has practi.
cal side which appeals to the grosser in
stincts of men. ndknitted stockings
are the very acme of elegance. Neither the
Prince of Wales nor yet Barry Wall can
have any thing more truly refined and dain-
ty than hand-knit stockings. But they cost
from 81 to Sc pair. The raw material,
however, for a pair costs only about 81, and
if the charming fingers of lovely woman
supply the $3 worth of labor, they are only
that much more valuable.
A woman to be attractive must possess
the power of sitting down quietly and lis
tening. If she is always galloping over
over croquet wickets she will be very inter-
esting to boys, but very tiresome to men,
If she sits dowh, she must be employed. If
she is utterly idle, she will fasten her man-
dibles on the first man that comes along
from the desperation of idleness, and finding
it difficult to get away from woman who
evidently has nothing to do but to talk to
him, the man becomes an unwilling captive
and spends his time devising methods to es-
cape. Now, if she has four shining knit
ting-needles in her hands, flying back and
forth through silken meshes of red or blue
or royal purple, she is plainly not depend
ent upon chance comers for company, and
the chance comers will appreciate this fact
by remaining in the neighborhood. Every
body is familiar with the rows of rocking
chairs that line the piazzas of summer ho-
tells, every rocking-chair with it's burden of
idle, clacking, novel-reading femininity.-
Give these women some kind of useful and
picturesque employment and see how quick
ly they are transformed into natural-ap-
pearing human beings. And the employ
ment must be obviously useful. Men can
not grasp the true inwardness of cutting
out little pieces to put them together again
as patchwork. Crocheting is all blamed
nonsense to the masculine understanding,
but they can take in stocking knitting with
scarcely mental effort. 1t means some-
thing tangible to their blunted sensibilities,
and the prospect of having pair or two of
hand-knit hose gently thrust upon him is
not without its charm to the average man.

BETWEEN OURSELVES.

Because her eyes 10 me and you
The brightest are and bluesr,
Shall storms arise between us two,
The oldest friends and truest?
Sh9 smiles on me, my heart is light.
And yours is steeped in sorrow;
And yet the flower gave tonight
She'll throw to you tomorrow.
Coquette Is she; SO say with me,
LET him who wins her wear her:
And fair-however fair she be.
There's many a lassie fairer."
But If it hap, and we'll it may,
That each in vain has pleaded,
1t all my songs are thrown away,
And all our sighs unheeded
Well vow ourselves no hermit VOWS,
Well cross no foamlDg billow,
Wei! bind about cur dismal brows
No wreaths of mournful willow;
But STOW. in spite of her disdair.
We yet can live without her,
And joining hands we'll laugh gain,
And think no more about her.

CHEERFUL HoMEs.-A cheerful, happy
home is the greatest safeguard against
temptations for the young. Parents should
spare no pains to make home cheerful
spot. There should be pictures to adorn
the walls, flowers to cultivate the finer SEN
sibilities, the choicest and most entertain
ing of books, and instructive newspapers
and periodicals. These things, no doubt,
cost money, but not tithe the amount
that one of the lesser vices will cost-vices
which are sure to be acquired away from
home, but so seldom there. Then there
should be social pleasures--a gathering of
young and old around the hearthstone,
warm welcome of the neighbor who drops
in to pass pleasant hour. There should
be music and games and reading. The
tastes of all should be consulted until
each member of the family looks forward
to the hour of reunion around that hearth
as the brightest one in twenty-four. Wher-
ever there is found a pleasant, cheerful,
neat, attractive, inexpensive home, there
you may be sure to find the abode of the
domestic virtues; there will be no dissipat-
ed husbands, no discontented or discourag-
ed wives, no ''fast" sons nor frivolous
daughters!

this. She felt drawn to Cottle by an ire
sistible impulse. The impulse grew till 1t
became fixed tendency of her mind tow
ard his, and that was what in Noesis cor
responded to love.
This constant eompanionship between
the two continued for month. The climax
came one day when the leaves were just BE-
ginning to turn. They were walking to-
gether just beyondthe outskirts OF the
town. Cottle had gone in search oil a cer-
tain herb, and Hypatia, as usual, had gone
in search of Cottle.
"Do you know" she said, sthat | be-
lieve my cooking is far from being per-
fect?''
81 am not surprised at that" he answer
ed calmly. ''Science can go long dis
tance."
''That is it exactly, My cooking is, so
far as it goes, scientific, but my science
does not go far enough. I-I-think that
chemistry would be of great assistance to
cooking"
Hypatia's eyes sought.the groitsd, Cottle
looked around quickly at her.

"Not-not if it were for life.''

with inexpressible admiration in her lovely

settled.''
And they walked back to the rectangu-
lar old town Of Noesis in the cleaning, at
peace with themselves and all the world.
The whitewashed sentinel elms, that kept
their vigils through the accurately measur-
ed years, looked down upon them kindly
and shed few leaves IN token of their
sympathy. And the gentle breeze, signing
around the town anemometer, whispered
words of hope and encouragement.

SHE CAUGHT HIM.-A certain lady sus-
pected that her husband was in the habit
of kissing the cook, pretty German girl,
by the by, and resolved to detect him in the
act. After watching four days, she heard
him come in one evening and gently pass
through the kitchen Now Katie was out
that evening and the kitchen was dark.
Burning with jealousy, the wife took some
matches in her hand, and, hastily placing
her shawl over her head as Katie often did,
she entered the kitchen by the back door,
and was almost Immediately seized and en-
braced and kissed in the most ardent man
ner. With her heart almost bursting with
rage and jealousy, the injured wife prepared
to administer a terrible rebuke to her faith
full spouse. Tearing herself from his en-
brace, she struck match and stood face to
face with Katie's beau, one of the factory
boys. Her husband says his wife has never
treated him so well since the first month

THE SEWER QUESTION.
Opinions Of Leading Citizens Upon the
Question.

Judge Devine-I am not opposed to
sewerage, but would not be willing to
pay more than the thing was worth.
Whoever is living In the city in the
future cannot expect TO go on the old
lines. There Is general opinion that
sewerage is necessity with the reflect
i've portion of the community, and | am
perfectly willing to give II trial. | do
not go to advocate sewers, nor as an
opposer Of them. My own idea is that,
with the present size OF the city and It's
growing prospects, a system of sewer
age should be inaugurated, and I con-
slider II Is our duty to give to the public
all the information we can get. and then
let the public determine the question. II
1t were simply n question with myself |
would not hesitate In paying extra tax
alton In order to give 1t trial.
Alderman Connor-l am of opinion
that several thousand pamphlets. in
three or four different languages, should
be printed and distributed broadcast
throughout the city, so that the people
will understand IL.

stated that the germs which engender

and that these organisms very frequently
emanate from such sewers as prives,
and so If we get lid of all that stuff chat
produce these dangerous organisms the
public health will be greatly benefited.
My idea Is to call the Board
of Health together and ask them
their opinion whether that is no, so.
But it is Of no use to proceed unless we
get the water-works to say something
definite.
The Mayor am in favor o. sewers.

system of sewers is very desirable, but

that there is possibility that we can
