Food for Conscience.

Edward Everett Hale.
Never go to bed in any danger of
being hungry. People are kept awake
by hunger quite as much as by a bad
conscience. Remembering that sleep
is the essential force which the whole
scheme starts, decline tea or coffee
within the last six hours before going
to bed. If the women-kind insist,
you may have your milk and water
at the tea table colored with tea; but
the less the better. Avoid all mathe-
MATES or intricate study Of any sort
in the last six hours. This is the stuff
dreams are made of, and hot heads,
and the nuisances of waking hours.
Keep your conscience clear. Remem-
Der that because the work of life is
infinite, you can't dothewhole of it in
any limited period of time, and that
therefore, you may just as we'll leave

Who Make the Fashion Plates.
Paris Letter.

Paris Letter.
Did it ever occur to you when look
ing at a fashion plate of mems dress,
who it is that establishes these fash
ions? Each year we are obliged to
wear longer or smaller trousers, shirt
er or longer frock coats, close fitting
or loosely flowing overcoats, wide or
narrow collars; sn short, there are
more or less notifications which, if
we wish to be in fashion, oblige us to
consult the tailor. A French paper
has just revealed to the world how all
these changes in mems dress are made
law, and why it is that all the tailors
are agreed upon the new styles. In
Paris all the leading tailors belong to
society which has for its object the
relief of its members who are ill or
unfortunate. This society has mem
bers not only in France, but in all
the capitals of the world where the
European style of dress is worn. Its
resources come from the sale of its
fashion plate to its members. Here
is how this plate is made: Each year
the society names a committee OF
eleven members, which prepares pro-
visional sketches. When the presi.
dent of the committee has collected g
dozen designs representing the differ
ent parts of the masculine dress, he
submits the result of his researches t.
his colleagues. They discuss the pro
posed models and suggest changes, i
need be, these changes are immedi
ately made by a designer, who il
present at the discussion, and ther
the modified models are put to vote
adopted, and the engraving is made
and sent out over the world. The
London tailors enter into competition
with the English tailors, for there ar,
many Frenchmen who think it is tn
correct thing dressed aPAnglaise
For long time the English cloths, b!
the originality of the designs, superb
ority of make and cheapness, hav,
done much harm to French fabrics
but latterly the French manufactur
ers have been making strong effort
to Gust their competitors from tn
market, and have in part succeeded

A WIFE SPEAKS OUT.
Where the Average Husband is Said to
be at Fault.

A married lady writes: at seems
to be common failing of the gentle
men, after they have been married a
while, to discard all the little courte-
sizes which they had been wont to
show their wives before marriage.
The please and thank YOU are for
gotten. When | go to a place of
amusement and see lady and gen.
tleman together l can tell in almost
every instance whether they are man
and wife. If the lady drops her pro-
gram or handkerchief and has to
stoop to pick it up herself, say she
is that mans wife. On the contrary,
if the gentleman is kind and polite to
her, careful about draughts, etc., l
say they are not married. We hear
a great deal of talk about the trials
and cares of man in business. They
have to battle with the world, it is
true, and labor for our support, but
women are the homekeepers, and the
little trials and cares which come up
every hours in housekeeping are just
as hard for them to bear as a mans
office or shop duties are to him. TO
keep house well is no play business.

with the servant-girl question and
preserve her 'ideality.' This will
cause the roses to fade in her cheeks

"Now, 1 believe in marriage. /

good and noble men in the world,
and that there will be men angels in
heaven. There are men who rise at
night to administer soothing syrup to
the baby, and who struggle with the
kitchen fire in the morning. On the
other hand, there are idle, silly, self:
ish, eXtravagant wives-women who
whine when their husbands bring
them All orange instead of an apple
and vice versa, and yet it does seem
to me as ii these kind of women re

CURIOUS Facts About Flowers.


Within the antartic circle there has
never Towering plant been found.
In the arctic region there was seven
hundred and siXty-two kinds Of flow
ers, fifty of these are confined to the
arctic region. They are really polar
flowers. The colors Of thepolar flow
ers are not as bright and varied as are
our own, most of them being white
or yellow, asif borrowing these hardy
hues from their snow bergs and
golden stars.
Perhaps the most beautiful of all
our everlastings, that longestdefy the
autumn frosts and most brighten our
winter bouquets, are white and yell
low varieties. The rose of Florida,
the most beautiful of flowers, has no
perfume. The cypress of Greece, the
finest of trees, bears no fruit. The
bird of paradise, the most beautiful of
birds, gives no song and some of the
loveliest of human forms have the
least souls.
The Dorosid@ family of flowers,
Rusk'n lells us, including the five
great orders-lilies, asphodels, amary-
lids, irids, and rushes-have more
varied and healthful influence on
man than any other tribe of flowers.
Nature seems to have made flowers
as types of character and emblems of
women. So we name our children
after them, and always intuitively
compare lovely, beautiful child to a
flower; we say the timid snow-drop,
the modest violet, the languid prim,
rose, the coy lily, the Haunting mari
gold, the lowly, blushing daisy, the
proud fox-glove, the deadly night
shade, the sleepy poppy, and the
sweet, solitary eglantine-these are
all types. Flowers have their histor.
ical associations and individuality
