THE Shaving OFF SALARIES.

The reduction III salaries OF tne ue-
partmental clerks necessarily creates
much adverse comment, especially
among the clerks, who are undoubtedly
the hardest worked and poorest paid OF
any set of men following similar avoca-
tons. CHANGING over the bill, one is
struck with the profound silence envel-
oping the salaries OF the heads OF the
several departments, and it is believed
the people will want to know why the
sweeping reductions did not include at
least some OF them.

PERSONALITIES.

Keep clear of personalities in general
conversation. Talk of things, objects,
thoughts. The smallest minds occupy
themselves with personalities. Personali-
ties must sometimes be talked, because we
have to learn and find ont mems charac-
~teristics for legitimate objects; but is to be
with confidential persons. Do not need
lessly report i'll of others. There are times
when we are compelled to say, Il do not
think Bouneer is a true and honest man.
But when there is no need to express an
opinion, let poor Bouncer swagger away.
Others will take his measures, no doubt,

There are family boards where a constant
process of depreciating motives and cut

rnE DErusrox OF GROWING FAT.

If you continue your present dietery

the burden of fat will be doubled, and that
insinuating tailor will be still congIatu-

weight which makes active movement dif-

in fifty lives to a good old age in this con-
dition. The typical man of eighty or
ninety years, still retains a respectable
amount of energy of body andmind, is lean
and spare, and lives ON slender ration.
Neither your heart nor your lungs can act
easily or healthy. being oppressed by the
gradual gathering of fat around. And
this because you continue to eat and

than you did, when youth and activity dis

NOTES ON FALL FASHION

Panama mating is the name of a new
cloth.
Snowflake cloths will be largely used fol
children.
Chrysanthcmum is a new shade of a
deep reddish mauve, but is not much used
by itself.
Canvas and plush are the ~key-notes on
which the several changes of autumn
goods are rung.
Canvas looks like that worn during the
summer with what appears to be the UNI
derlining of a contrasting color, this is
really, however, all one material.
Velvets are revived for cloaks both plain
and with frisc figures. Astrakhan cloths
are shown for the same purpose, in a va
riety of colors.
Little girls, nc matter what is the color
OF their costume, wear black hose, very
few colored and scarcely any white ones
are seen.
Tan or slate-gray kid waistcoats look
well in dark brown or gray cloth jackets.
Sets Of three fancy waistcoatsa are sent home
with most cloth jackets.
The Midshipman jacket made of dark
blue cloth is very smart looking. 1t is
partly open in front to show a fancy canva
waistcoat, with lapels of black silk and
gold buttons.
Broad velvet ribbon bands are revived to
wear around the neck. decorated with jew
eled c%rescents, stars, hearts and different
shaped ornaments. Some of these are
very antique looking.
The bands of white edging the necks OF
dresses grows narrower daily, many are
colored, not a becoming fashion. Ruches
are not as popular although generally very
becoming.
The new ulsters are becoming, with tight
fronts, and pretty simulated hoods at the
back fastened down at the waist, and loos-
ing themselves either in gathered f~ulness,
or wide box plaits, reaching to the edge OF
the cloak.
Rosary beads of wood are used upon
b%onnets, they are either made to ornament
the crown or brim or simply placed on the
edge. They are decidedly neat and stylish.
Eider-down flannel is used for morning
robes, also for small children's cloaks and
wrappers. 1t comes in all soft pretty
shades, is very light in weight, and ex-
tremely warm and prctty.-From Godey's
Lady's Book.

Nowhere are ferns prettier than when
growing in the house, giving our rooms a
cool. restful look and a quiet suggestion OF
the woods.
But those who are not the possessors OF
Wardian cases need not despair, for with a
little trouble they can make for themselves
a %fernery that will rival many more ex-
pcnsiye ones and give quite as much pleas
ure, besides being an ornament to any room
until winter.
Have made a box as long and wide as re-
quired. but four or five inches in depth.
1t can be either tin or wood, but must
hold water. Paint it inside and out, any
color you fancy chooses. Fill it with
earth heaping it somewhat in the center.
The best soil is the fbrous earth obtained
in any woods by scraping away the cover
ing of last years leaves. 1t is mostly leaf
mold, and is full of fine roots.
Now you are ready for your plants. In
selecting your specimens pass the larger
ones by and choose the small plants, as
they will be much liner in the end. The
best kind is the maiden hair. These grow
p%lentifully in. shady moist places along the
banks of streams and among old rocks.
There are other kinds of ferns and numer-
Gus other plants that will thrive in your
fernery, but do not crowd it.
Don't forget the partridge berry. 1t has
starry white blossoms. and later its scarlet
berries will give a brilliant effect to the
rich green of the moss. For you must
have plenty of moss to cover your soil after
you have planted your fern roots. Place
the largest in the center, leaving the edge
for the partridge berry to grow in. Cover
the roots with moss, and then give a good
watering After that it needs but little
care. Keep in a shady place and give
plenty of water.

partment where they will find puzzles and
games, with prizes offered for correct Solu-
tion. In fact, the magazine from its old-time
fireplace ON its front cover, all through its we'll
printed and Observation-Disclosures pages, is
