Neatness in Girls.

Neatness is a good thing for a girl.
and if she does not learn it when she
is young, she never will. 1t takes a
great deal more neatness to make a
girl look well than it does to make q
boy look passable. Not because boy.
to start with, is better looking than a
girl, but his clothes are of different
sort, not so many colors in them; and
people don't expect a boy to look so
pretty as girl. A girl that is not
neatly dressed is called . sloven, and
no one likes to look at her. Her face
may be pretty, and her eyes bright, but
if there is a spot of dirt on her cheek.
and her fingers ends are black with
ink, and her shoes are not laced or
buttoned up, and her apron is dirty,
and her collar is not buttoned, and her
skirt is torn, she can not be liked. I
went into a little girls room once. and
all her clothes were on the floor, and
her rplaythings, too Learn to be neat
and when you have learned it, it will
almost take care of itself.-htcrior.

The use of asphaltum in building
is said to be largely on the increase,
principally employed as a preventive
against damp cellar walls and mason
work underground; also for water-tight
cellar floors, cisterns, vaults and the
like.
The division of labor and improved
machinery are doing away with the
thorough learning Of trades. When the
present generation of shoemakers and
blacksmiths are dead it will be hard
work to find man who can make a
complete boot or make horseshoe and
nails and then shoe the horse properly.

that the books have been examined by
experts from Chicago and that all is

that we may wind up with a

''Ah, that was last week. Detectives

Next day the whole town of Stability
heard of the arrangement of the prom
ising young man Brooks. lately cashier
of the well-known bank of that city.
The detective had gone home. The
papers announced that nothing in the
extraordinary transaction reflected on
the good name of Mr.. Brooks.
Meanwhile Mr.. Brooks had exhausted
the resources of Windsor and was look
ing yearningly across to the American
shore. He watched with interest what
the papers said of his case. At last
when it came out that his innocence
had been made clear he felt a glow of
triumph that his bookkeeping had
stood the severest test that Chicago had
been able to apply. There was now no
reason why he should remain in Cana
da. He telegraphed to Mr.. Bonus that
for the past week he had been feeling
very queer and had come to himself in
Windsor and would be back shortly.
When MIR. Brooks stepped off the ferry
on the wharf in Detroit man who had
crossed with him put his arm through
his and said:
"Mr. Brooks I am very glad to see
you."
"Who are you?" asked the astonished
Brooks. Il don't think know YOU"

mother is still alive, but the doctors say
that her death is certain from the effects Of
the poison she has taken. Her rawlings are
said to be fearful, and TO prevent her from
doing further harm to herself or to her at
tendants she has been put in a straight
jacket. The doctors are of the opinion that

reason. He is constantly calling Fannie,
