The Dangerous Dust.

cies Of disease. Everybody recognizes this;
but how many fail to adopt its preceptsl II
there be sermons in stones, surely this sum-
mer dust and its dangers would prove fruit

great difference between London and coun-
try dust as there is between the corresponding
muds. Pulverlzed matter would be harmless

Of highly complex nature Its chief perils to

habits of individuals in every class Of sociesy,
including the masses" are not calculated to
diminish, but rather to augment, the amount
of organic matter in our atmosphere. Mucus,
saliva and humor, popularity known as 'mat-
ter" must be discharged from the mouth and
hostrils to the extent of many gallons daily,
and not little OF this comes from intectye
sources; while we venture to think that the
bulk of it mingles with the dust of our streets
and courts. If, as seems not unlikely, con-

very ready theory may be advocated concern

caught. Who can estimate the amount Of
mischief that the shaking OF mats may have
causeda How many young girls, early in the
morning, on their way to business have, so to

Where ViOlins Are Made.

Brainard's Musical World.
In one of those mountainous districts OF
Bavaria, there is town called Mittenwald,
shut in by snowclad peaks and dense forests,
In which every yard is crossed by labyrinth
of ropes and poles, on which hundreds of VIC
Inns are hung up to dry. For couple of cen
turtles the entire industry of the town has beer
violin making, for which the surround ing for
ests produce the best of material. Men, wo
men and children sill have their allotted share
of the work, and violins celos, base violins
zithers, and every strnged instrument, from {
copy of some old and priceless Stradivarus
perfect in form, color, and tone, down to thu
cheapest banjo, are exported in great quaint
tics, all hand made, to every quarter of thu
globe.

How to Use Perfume.


There are few ladies who resist the pleasure
Of using perfumes, and If they are not used in
too great quantities they are not objection
able. 1t is q good plan to use only one kind
of perfume, such as violet, heliotrope, rose
geranium, etc. Instead OF saturating the
handkerchief, use them in the shape of sachet
powders. Put them on cotton in small bags
of muslin, silk, or satin, and strew them in
every part of the bureau and wardrobe, so that
delicate fresh, almost nameless perfume
pervades every article of dress from the hat to
the boots. Sachets filed with powdered orris
root will give a sweet, wholesome odor that
never becomes so strong as to be dsagreeable.
The use of too strong extracts Of perfumery is
not considered in good taste.

experience, "as if she had been to q
party" thinks Maysie, Indignantly,
Fastening out of hearing and choking
back her sobs. She has a plan that
can not be carried out till evening, and
she stays alone in her room till the
soft summer disk calls her out.
Unobserved she walks her way
along the lonely country road. A
few belated birds chirp sleepily; the
hum of insects. shrill near by and
softer and sweeter farther of, accom-
panies her; the light dew is falling;
all the sweet influences of the hour
fall soothingly on her soul as she
turns to the entrance of the grave
yard. She goes, as by instinct. swift
and straight to new-made grave
The moon has not yet risen. and the
darkness increases every moment, but
Maysie cares not In her hand is a
young rose-tree and cluster of vio-
lets, both freshly dug and with earth
about their roots. She means to set
these in the mound above her lover,
unknown to anyone; they shall be her
first and last gift to him.
Suddenly she stops and utters little
shrek. A deadly fear seizes her as a
tall figure rises from the mound and
speaks.
Il knew should meet you here"
says a low and thrilling voice.
Maysie trembes from head to foot
and can not speak.

and she takes Maysie into her arms and
continues rapidly: ''You could not be

grief sacred and would make her last

your girlish ways, your loving and
lovable soul. He loved you well,
Maysie--did you love him?'
But Maysie is silent; that which she
has not whispered in her lovers ear
can never now be uttered.
"Ah, well, never mind. You thought
it strange he bound you by no vow;
this is the reason; years ago, before he
went out into the world, | exacted a
promise from him that he would not en-
gage himself in marriage without first
consulting me. 1t was foolish within
of an old woman, but he respected it.
You are not angry because his mother
longed for his confidence, are you,
Maysie?"
NO" whispers Maysie, and for q
time there is silence between the two
silence broken by a long and affection

soften and relieve the full and bursting
hearts. The rising moon sheds a glow

The surface Of the shell should be first
cleansed by rubbing it with rag dipped in
hydrochloric acid until the outer dull covering
of the shell is removed 1t must then b.
