Beginning Rather Early Life.

Detroit Free Press; "Please, how
much is that very large doll? asked a
beautifully dressed little girl, about two
feet six high, yesterday, of a salesman in
q Woodward avenue establishment, stand
ing on tip-toe to get glimpse over the
counter.
"That is S25, MISS was the amused
answer.
'Isn't that good deal for one dolly? ?"
she asked, wistfully.
"Yes, but it is very large one, its eyes
open and shut, it cries, says mamma and
papa can sit in any position, and has a
beautiful dress"
"The frock is pretty" said the little
one, obviously, shut it's lot of money,
and I'm afraid haven't got enough. Here
is my purse. sir; Will you please count 1t?
The clerk did as requested and an
nounced the result: Two dollars and
forty five cents"
"That's lots too little, isn't it," asked
the small lady.
"Yes, good deal"
"WelI. let me seei I have had some
money in my bank at homa and there IS
some more coming to me for not eating
dessert and-ob, I'll tell YOU" she ex-
claimed, frightening at the truly femiu-
Inc idea, "yGu send it to the house ano
charge it to papa"
About this time mamma appeared IN
great anxiety and reclaimed the little
trzant, who had escaped from the car
riage at the curb to go on an independent
expedition of her own.

New York EVANGELIST
The deputation from the Queen of
Amatopga waited upon the Archbishop of
Canterbury few days since and described
the harm inflicted upon the natives by
the liquor traffic. Mr.. Grantham, the
Queens adviser, who was one of the
speakers, describe the degradation into
which this most intelligent race of Kafirs
had fallen until the native Queen had for
biddea the sale of liquor by her own sub
j cts. Fathers, he said, were constantly
pIsdging their daughters on security for
debts for liquor.
The trade was now almost entirely in
the hands of the Portuguese, an@ the
Queen wanted to know whether the Eng
fish, like the Portuguese, were DESTROYS
of destroying them with their poison
She feared such was the case, one of her
Indunas having recently been killed by
drinking spirits given him by an English
man. The Archbishop assured the depu-
tation of the sympathy of all England
who had the welfare of the native races
at heart with the efforts now being made
by the Queen of Amatonga and her peo-
pie to rid themselves of the dangers,
moral and physical, which threatened
them through the unchecked liquor traffic.

CHAPTER x.-rHz FAIRY QUEEN.

When Louis Charters entered the bali
room the first set was just over, and he
paused a moment near the doors, feeling
that he, in his civilian attire, must present
a very homely appearance. He had never
been to a military ball before, and the
crowd of brilliant uniforms, the white or
bright-colored dresses of the women, the
lights, decorations, and flowers made .
really gorgeous tout ensemble.
But where was Valerie? His eyes sought
her anxiously, and while he sought he
heard her name:
Miss Herbert cuts them all out" said a
mans voice near, and Louis. turning quick
ly, saw two young officers of Hussars.
There wasn't a girl in town this season
to compare with her. She ought to so to
town-she'd be the rage"
'.Al the fellows are mad to dance with
her." said the other. Didn't she and
Beau look well togetherl 1t was worth
while to watch them"

Lessons for Maidens.

This is a charming old lady's advice to
to girls-very excellent advice, indeed, TO
the sgeet-faced damsels who are making
their first bows to society this wir1sr..
Firstly, what to avoid:
A loud, weak, affected, whining, hoarse,
or shrilI tone of voice.
Extravagances in conversation-such
phrases as lawfully this" "beastIy that"
''Ioeds of time" don't you know" "hate"
for dislike" etc.
Sudden exclamation of annoyance, sur
prise, and joy-often dangerously ap-
preaching to "female swearing''-9
''bother!" ''graciousI" show jollym
Yawning when listening to anyone.
Talking on family natter even to
bosom friends.
Attempting any vocal or instrumental
piece of music that you cannot execute
with ease.
Crossing your letters.
Making a short, sharp nod with the
head, intended to do duty as bow.
Next what to cultivate:
An unaffected, low, distinct, silver
toned voice.
The art of pleasing those around you,
aid seeming pleased with them and all
they may do for you.
The charm of making little sacrifices
quite naturally, as if of no account to
yourself.
The habit of making allowances for the
opinions, feelings, or preiudices of
others.
An erect carriage-that is, sound
body.
A good memory for faces, and facts
connected with them thus avoiding Civ
ing offense through not recognizing or
bowling to people, or saying to them what
had best been left unsaid.
The art of listening without Impotence
to prosy takers, and smiling at the
twice told talk or joke.
''You love ny daughter?" said the old
man.
"Love her!' he exclaimed passionate
Iy; "why, sir, would lie for her! For
one soft glance from those sweet eyes [
would hurl myself from yonder cliff and
perish, bruised, bleeding mass, upon
the rocks two hundred feet below!"
The old man shook his head.
''I'm something OF q liar myself" he
said, "and one is enough for small fam
lily like mine"
Dobson-I've just heard of your mar
RAG q old boy.
Hobson (sadly)-Yes, I was married
three months ago.
Dobsov-Well it air. too late to offer
congratulations.
Hobson-A little late, Dobson little
late.
