Eugagement Rings.

A novel design in engagement rings is to
divide the ring and bend the cut ends apart,
and hold them so by small gold bar A
jewel is then set on each end, and the result
is that the jewels are very close together, but
still not united and are thus quite typical Of
engagements.

Scarf and Bonnet Pins.

Jeweled pins are if possible more worn than
ever. They are either cheap or costly las one
pleases.
Now that ladies' neckwear is so much like
that of men, they wear scarf pins that carry
out the imitation. These are smaller and
rather more costly than those worn by men;
the favorite patterns are somewhat different,
but they form very good second to those of
the brothers and the cousins and the uncles.

LADIES' SCARF PINS.

The illustration gives two fashionable
styles. One is composed of pearls with
small colored stone in the center, the other of
little turquoises with diamond in the center.
These elegant little scarf pins are worn in
the collar, the chemisette or the scarf. They
also pin the bonnet strings handsomely.

PAIN AND PLEASURE,

The Wide Distinction Existing Between
 Satisfactions and Conveniences.
 The psychology of pleasure and pain has yet to be worked out. MT. Herbert Spencer has laid the physiological foundation and MT. Grant Allen has developed it, but their analysis leaves untouched altogether the higher or purely cerebral pleasures. Modern psychologists since Bain have considered those pleasures alone which arise direct ly from sensation, and not those which are concerned with reason or reflection. For we must draw wide distinction Ia distinction which no one has drawn since Hobbes) between satisfactions and conveniences, as Hobbes called them, or, as we might call them in modern phraseology, pleasures of the cerebral hemispheres and pleas ures of the local ganglia, otherwise cen tral pleasures and peripheral pleasures. Take as type of one kind the pleasure you experience in winning a game of chess, and of the other kind the pleas ure of warming your hands at fire on a cold day. There is, of course. the distinction to be drawn between physical suffering and mental disappointment or trouble. This we may shorten by limiting the word ''pain" to the former and, by using the word ''distress" or ''trouble," in speak ing of mental suffering. -Nsneteenh Century.

NOW IS THE TIME.
Boys and Girls May, and Ought to, Grow
 Straight, and Not Crooked.

Boys and Girls May, and Ought to, Grow
 Straight, and Not Crooked.
 You are boys now, but you will soon be men. Then you will have your own way to make in the world. Do you mean to be idle and fretful, and de- ceiye people, and give them a bad opinion of you? Or do you intend to go to work, and act bravely and nobly, and do your duty, and leave a name behind you when you die which the world will love and respect? Take care-now is the time! Did you ever notice large tree that grew crooked, and was an ugly eyesore on that ac- count? Perhaps it stood on the lawn, right in front of the porch, and your father would have liked very much in- deed to straighten it. It was impossi- ble to do so. A hundred horses could not have dragged it erect. And yet think of the time when the large tree was a small sapling; child might have strengthened it then. and it would have grown properly, and every one would have admired it By this 1 mean that boys and girls ought to grow straight, not crooked. You are young now, as the tree was once; begin in time, and you will be as straight as an arrow when you are a man. If you wait, it will be too late. The way to make men erect and noble is to take them when they are boys and show them that there is nothing in this world so noble as doing their duty. Once moro l say, remember that though you are boys now, you will be men soon.
 You may do good or evil. If you are false and worthless, you and every body else will have . hard time of it You may be soldiers, judges. states men and Presidents. What you say or do may decide the fate of millions of other people. These will look to you; and more than all. God will watch you and hold you to strict account. If you are brave, and true, and unselfish, Heaven will bless you, and every one who knows you will love and respect you. If you are mean and cowardly, and think of nothing but your own pleasure, God and man will be dis pleased with you. Which will you be? The best of all things is to be pure and te do your duty.-BapttSt Weekly.

NUMBER 43.

boys Many of these seemed to have or to take their own way; a few of us were kept under parental guidance and control. I confess that there were times when it seemed hard because 1 was not permitted to go and come just
 as some boys were doing whom knew.
 But now, when 1 think of the after-re- suits in the different cases, feel that I can not be too grateful for the home influences which had, and to which 1 yielded in youth. Of the boys whom knew, those who lived nd attained and bonorably filled positions of trust
 were withoutexception those who were known as the nome boys" the moth CT boys" the "babies;" and all because they did not think it manly to swear,
 and smoke or chew tobacco, and fight, and play truant from school, and Dc . nuisance in general. They were by no means goody-goody boys, they were not angels; they loved, and had, their fun; they had games, but they were loving and kind to their parents, and truthful and honest and well-behaved everywhere; and although thus nick named, many of them were strong enough to withstand the temptations of the camp and 10 endure severe hard ships, and brave enough to fall on the field of battle with the face to the foe. Others of them have been able to keep themselves pure, and to make for themselves good record in the midst of the tests and struggles of life. In the meantime, as I have had oppor- tunity to learn, the sad news comes to me of the moral wreck of one after another of those who preferred street education. or who hated and rebelled against every thing like . wholesome restraint, and who considered them selves manly.-ReU.

A Playful Elephant.

In India an elephant of small size is by no means an unusual household pet. Not long ago an English gentleman living in the Punjaub wrote to an En- glish journal a most interesting ac- count of baby elephant which he had introduced into the family as a play mate for his children. Young Bo5bo was about four months old, and about l four feet high. His education was . matter which demanded no small amount of care and perseverance on the part of his master.
 To begin with, Bobbo had no idea of the wickedness of taking what does not belong to one. He was fond of cake and sweetmeats, and no amount of covering up and concealment seemed sufficient to prevent that flexible trunk from poking into all kinds of holes and corners, and appropristing just what he found to his liking. Fruit he con- sidered a great luxury, and it was no unusual circumstance to find him mak- ing off with bunch of bananas that would have supplied the family for week.
 When Bobbo was year old, he was put to the task of drawing small cart. Usually he behaved we'll; but occa- sionally, when something displeased him, he would land cart, contents and driver in a ditch, and then look on placidly while his unfortunate freight was rescued from the pickle into which he had got them. At the same time he was always gentle and affectionate, and when his owner was obliged to re- turn to his native country, the parting between Bobbo and the little folk was very sad one.-Harper's Young Pco- pLe.

THE NOBLE RED MAN.

| A Boston Maiden's Poetic View of the Warriors of the Plains.
 He was Kansas man and, he was ir Boston for the first time, where he was introduced to Miss Dudine, who said to him:
 "Oh, MT. Granger, have you ever seen any of those dear delightful In dians in the West?"
 "Injuns? You bet; last fellow saw fore 1 left was ared-skinned CherokeeP''
 "How .entrancing! And did he have any scalps with himP"
 "One. He wore it on his head-it was his own"
 And was he in his war paint, and did he have name like Rolling Thun- der or White Wind?"
 "No, guess he hadn't any war paint on himself, but he was layin' some on the town, and his name wasn't Rollin' Thunder; we always called him Jim Smith" :"
 "But was he real IndIan?"
 'tPure quill; guess none of 'em more so."
 But he was surely on the war path, wasn't he? Methinks I see him now, standing on the brow of a mighty hill; his eagle eye glances athwart the peace ful valley below, where his fathers slum- Der; and strange, fierce sadness sweeps over his dusky face, and he kneels down and makes this fearful VOW: Great Chieftain, Manitou of the Cherokees, hear me-"
 '.No, miss, you're away of. Jim Smith wasn't that kind of man; last 1 saw of him he was hangin' around John sons drug store, trying to work them for snifter at the jug behind the pre- scription case. "-St. Louis Whip.

A DESPERATE MAN.

How an Editor Came Mighty Near Get ting Into Fuss With Him.
 Hostetter McGinnis is an arrant COW ard, but at the same time he is very boast ful. Meeting Gilhooly, he said:
 'tBill Snort came mighty near getting into fuss this morning."
 "With whom?"
 "With me. I tell you he had pretty close call.''
 "What was it all about?"
 "Well, you see last week there was a piece in Shorts paper about me having stolen hog in Cameron County. The article went on to say that a red-hot stove wouldn't be safe if I was around, and it seemed to me that it was a sorter reflection on my honesty"
 "Yes, read the article. It was rath- CT personal" "
 "Jess so. Well, thought I'd call on the editor and ask him what he meant, if could find him in
 "Did you find him inp"
 "Yes, he was in; so I asked him if he meant to impeach my honesty. What do you suppose he said?"
 "Tve no idea"
 ''He said didn't have any honesty to impeach, and with that he hit me in the eye with his fist. I happened to notice that there was pistol on the desk and as quick as lightning I grabbed it"
 ''Did you shoot him?'' ''No; l just grabbed the pistol to keep him from shooting me with it. As soon as 1 got hold of it l darted out the door. He took after me, but couldn't overtake me. What do you suppose Snort has done now? He has come out in his pa- per and charged me with stealing the pistol, when I only took it to keep him from shooting me with it. Snort is too darned reckless in what he says and does, and some of these days he'll get hurt"
 "Yes; he'll stump his toe running after you. "-IeraS SittieqS.
