A Good Habit.

1t is good habit to keep in the
habit Of dressing up" in the after
noon, even If the process consists only
in putting on clean calico dress,
smoothing the hair, and DOMINIC
fresh white apron, collar and cuffs
and that whether company is ex-
pected or not. 1t is the custom OF
some to sneer and say, "Oh, clothes
don't make theman." No, they don't
alone; but they help make every man,
woman and child. If the human
being is the gem, clothes are at least
the setting-and we all know what a
difference that makes. It is not suffi-
GENTLY recognized that clothes have
amoral influence In addition to their
effect upon the eye. The woman or
child who is well dressed experiences
a sense of moral elevation, an added
self-respect, besides the pleasure of
appearing. becomingly arrayed. In
connection with this idea, the young
should be instructed that lavish ex-
penditure is not necessary for tasteful
apparel. One can be just as ladylike
in Bingham dress as in silk one, If
only it fits well, is of a becoming color,
and is perfectly clean. And, by the
way, is not dainty cleanliness Of
person and apparela lady's greatest
charm? Certainly, nothing can take
the place Of it or make up for lack Of
it. A woman may be intelligent and
well-read; but these high qualities
seem only to throw the slovenliness
of an untidy woman into higher re-
lief. Young girls should be instruct
ed that personal neatness and order
are woman's most potent charms;
they should also learn to keep their
wardrobes in good repair.
A mothers appearance has great
influence on the social and domestic
education of her children no woman,
if she stops to think about it, can af-
ford to be untidy before them. If the
queen of the home sets the right ex-
ample, the rest will not be far behind.
And one more suggestion before clos
ing; if you would keep your men
folks from coming to the table in
their shirt sleeves in warm weather.
such an unbecoming, undignified,
and slovenly thing for the lords of
creation to do-just have ready at
hand light, cool coat of alpaca or
dark linen, which you can buy ready
made or make yourself.

THE BACK YARD.

Progress for June.
When your house was thoroughly
cleaned in the spring did you clean
the back yard? I have seen places
that looked real nice-in front. A
stranger passing would notice no dis
order, but step moment in the back
yard. Boxes, old shoes, hen coops,
ash-hOppers, shucks, cobs, rags, trash
and the wood-pile, were all scattered
heller SHELTER. hope wound no
ones feelings. Sam Jones says mo
dog will yelp that is not hit" You
have all seen such yards-of course
yours is clean, and now wouldn't it
be nice if the owners would only have
a bonfire, and let nothing but pile
of welcome ashes remain of all this
litter?
The back yard is used more than
nearly any place around a house,
consequently should be neat, clean
and sOdded to charm the eye. ] in
sist that the back yard should be just
as clean as the front, and if you have
not too many chickens to destroy
flowers and vines plant them. l have
made flower beds in my back yard
and the bright flowers were such q
constant delight. Your eyes will in
voluntarily wander toward attrac-
tons. Oh, these city back yards!
How hot, how bare, how desolate!
Their space unnecessarily limited, and
of course crowded with indispensa-
bles, but we should rejoice in the glo-
rious liberty of a large, sunny, green
back yard, with just trees enough to
make it pleasant to watch the sha-
dows and hear the birds sing among
their branches.

halfway measures will do. Good
women everywhere should frown
down all the beginnings of personal
discussion, personal criticism, person
al censure. There areplenty Of things
to talk about that are much more in
teresting, much more instructive, as
subjects of conversation, than people.
FIVE must criticize persons, or dis
cuss them in any way, excepting that
of praise, let it be in their presence,
when they have an opportunity for
defense, or at least, of explanation.
Judgment of one another must al
ways and necessarily be one-sided
and incomplete. We cannot know
the springs of action or the motives
which impel to the performance of
many actions. Our simple duty is to
let those actions and their results
speak for themselves, and neither
supply motives which do not exist,
nor add our condemnation to the diff
ficulties, which, quite Unknown to
us, may obstruct pathway, and rem
der the burden of life still heavier
than it was before.

Wanted---A Man.

An esteemed contemporary asserts
that young lady graduate at Mead
vile, Pennsylvania, selected as a sub
ject for heressay, "Wanted-A Man."
And though, of course, she only ex-
pressed the sentiment of every girl in
graduating class-and every girl in
the universe, for that matter 1.-THE
confession seems to be creating some
surprise. Ofcourse. the young lady
graduate went on to say that it was
not any sort ola man she wanted. 1t
was not a dude, with smooth hair,
nor mere dashing beau, in good
clothes, much less aspendthritt, loud,
but would-be-respectable scamp, who
would first ruin his wife's life and
then mortgage her silver. The yeung
lady graduate, of course, wanted a
man that amounted to something,
that was somebody, and could do a
mans part in the household and the
world. In this, too, she expressed
the universal yearning of all the girl
graduates-an the other girls, too.
But, bless their dear hearts! Did it
ever occur to them to- ask of what
earthly use the average girl graduate
could be to such a man? Will she
paint plaques for him? Fling little
bits ofFrench in his ears? Drum on
the piano, and rack his nerves?
Dress fine for the street, and be a
dowd at home? Neglect her body
and her mind, and think that her
only mission is to be cared for? Of
course, she wants man-needs one
badly; but suppose she begins to
query what she will do with him, or
for him, when he is found?

A Birds Nest Lined with Gold.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
Close to the United States mint, on
the roof of a place of business across
the street, there is small bird-box,
which was formerly occupied Iabout
this time of year by pair of robins,
but lately occupied solely and entire
ly pugnacious and tricky English
sparrow. This miserly fellow-and
the sparrows are all an avariclous set
after driving the robins out, has
occupied the box for two seasons
without even so much as mate. AS
might be supposed, one who was able
to do that is foremost in looking out
for himself in other ways. Among
the girls, and even among the men,
in the mint, nearly allof whom bring
their dinners with them, this partic-
ular sparrow has long been favorite
because of his boldness, and so freely
does he fly in at the windows and fit
in the back doors of the smelling
room, to pick up crumbs, that they
jocularly say he is the only one who
has the "free run of the mint" A
short time ago boy in the building
went where Mr.. Sparrow had made
his nest, and peeking into the box to
see if there were any of the young
folks at home, as the boys love to do,
he was surprised upon drawing his
fingers out to see them sparkling in
the bright sunshine. No miner who
strikes an unexpected vein was more
excited than that boy ashe seized the
box and carried the whole thing
down stairs, where it was found that
the inside was not only flecked with
gold dust, but that the accumulations
of the precious metal had formed a
sort of carpet Of sparkling, soft, yell
low gold, the whole proving verita-
BILE bonanza" The sparrow had
regularly been carrying off quantities
of gold dust in its feathers which it
shook out when it made Its toilet in
the morning.

guilty of cold blooded, premeditated
murder, and were justly sentenced to
death. Allen county considers it bad
enough that under our laws this sem

would consider it an unspeakable out
rage to have the ends Of justice set
aside by the pardon of these men. For

with all the facts in the case, and there
is little danger of the unrighteous pc
