A Simple Lesson in Grammar.
Three little words you often see
Are articles u an, and the.
A nouns the name of any thing
AS school or garden, hoop or slOing.
Adjectives, the kind of noun,
AS great Snadt, pretty, iChite or brOiU1s.
Instead of nouns. the pronOuns stand
Her head, his face, your arm: nuy hand.
Verbs tell something to be done
10 read, count, LduOa. sing. jump, or run.
How things are done, the adverbs tell,
AS Sto,cty, quickly, i'll, or tDeH
ConjunctiOns join the words together
AS men and women, wind on weather.
The proposition stands before
a noun, as in or through the door.
The intersection shows surprise
AS Oh! how pretty: Ah! how wise.
The whole are called Nine parts of speech,
which reading, writing, speaking teach.

What Boston Girls Carry.

A REMINDER OF OUR GHANDFATHERS' OLD
FASHIONED SADDLE-BAGS.
How fast the fashions change in the things
that Boston girls love to carry in their hands!
\ short time ago 1t was nothing but IN usic-rOls.
lhcy were large, too-largc enough to conceal
a considerable stock OF shopping plumber or a
substantial luncheon if necessary. Almost
every young girl that you met, and many who
were not SO young used to carry of these
brown or black leather rolls about the streets:
but when the women Of shady lives adopted
the muslc-rollS as u means OF disguise 1t quickly
disappeared from the hands OF innocent girls
and Is now not seen ut ali writes "a Boston cor
respondent OF the Minneapolis Tribune.
Its place has been taken by great bag
shaped Ike Il purse, made of cloth and capable
OF much variety in the way of embroidery or
other decoration, at the taste OF the owner. 1t
may be carried In the hand, but the correct
Boston style is to have it flung, over the shOul-
der with one baggy end hanging i'll front
and the other behind. What under the sun it
enough for almost anything that young girl
is supposed To possess. 1t is reminder ut the
OId-iashiOned ddle-bags that my grandia her
used TO throw across his old mares back when
he mounted for an eighteen-mile ride to VIII
iaee i'll the upper part ot Maine Tor his store
supplies.
Brass rings slip freely upon the neck of the
great purse, serving to close the aperture and
combining the contents to the baggy ends.
Whether or not the Boston damsel carries her
treasure in one END and a stone to balance 1t in
the other, aS the man loaded the bags on his
il my stery that haven't dared to ask about.
l suspect that the contents are sham and that
the girl carries the great thing account OF its
| esthetic shape and ornamentation.

A CUSTOMS CASE.
Sixteen Thousand Dollars Worth of
JeweIry Seized.

The Halifax Chronicle says that two boxes
containing sixteen thousand dollars worth of
jewelry were seized by Canadian officer of
customs, belonging to Mr.. Mansfield, at
Woodstock. N. b., for an alleged infraction
of the customs laws. The jewelry was ship
ped at Portland for Vanceboro, in the north
of Maine, but had to pass through part of
New Brunswick, and was therefore put in
bond. When crossing the line the Canadian
officer allowed the goods to go into Canada
with an American manifest, instead of issu-
ing new manifests and sending them after
ward in the usual way. The man accom-
panying the goods knew no better. When at
Woodstock the party in charge received a
telegram from the firm asking him to do
some business there, but not in any way con-
nected with the goods in bond. Having
checks for the boxes in his pocket, he asked
the conductor to leave them off at the station
until his return from town, which was done.
When he returned from transacting his bust
ness he found the boxes seized. The result
was that the railway company was mulcted
in four hundred dollars damages and the
shipper another four hundred. After sew
eral interviews with the minister of customs
Mansfield has got his fine reduced one half.
