Testing the Lads Honesty.

London Stondard.
A lawyer engaged a new boy recently,
and as he had suffered to some extent
from the depredations of his former lad,
he determined to try the new boys
honesty at once. He therefore placed a
e5 note under weight on his desk and
walked out without saying a word.
Upon his return half an hour later the
note was gone and half crown in silver
had taken its place.

How Beauty May Be Preserved.


Some Old-minded investigator, who
has spent deal of patient labor in the
search for means whereby women may
preserve their beauty, has made an inn
portant discovery, relating to one whom
he calls the handSOmest woman he eyer
saw. She was over thirty years of age
when our Savant first made acquaint-
ance with her, but as he asserts with
much emphasis no girl of sixteen ever
had roster cheeks or brighter ewes He
made haste to learn her inestimable Sc
cret, and here is a summary of his re-
port. She was naturally fine looking
woman, but the attention she gave to
matters of hygiene enhanced and pre-
served her physical attractiyeneSS.
What did she do? Well, among other
practices she took sponge bath every
morning; was particular about the ven
tilatiOn of her apartments. partic-
ularly her sleeping room; took
long walks whenever she could:
ate little meat and much
fruits and cereal food, and drank her
coffee without sugar and cream. To
preserve the suppleneSS of her figure
she practiced standing one hour every
day, fifteen minutes at time, with her
hands on her hips before long mirror.
In that position she bends the knees
outward and sinks slowly to the floor,
or as near it as possible, meanwhile
moving her arms in any direction to
their utmost length, out or up, forward
or backward, until she resumed the
erect position with hands on hips.
Each movement is repeated, accelerat-
ing the speed little until. at the end of
thirteen minutes. it is done very rapidly
and fine color is in her face. She then
lies down Oh fiat couch without pill
low and rests until her breath becomes
normal and regular, as it will in the two
minutes that are left to her fifteen. 1t
is easy to see that her whole body thus
receives good exercise, which adds to
the grace of her form, beauties her
complexion by cunning natures own
means and makes her strong and healthy.

IMMORTALITY.
Three messengers to me from heaven cam
And Snid. '.Ihara is daa th LOGS hum.

Three messengers to me from heaven came.
And said "There is deathless human
soul
1t is not lost, as is the fiery flame
That dies into the undistinguishing whole
All, no; it separate is, distinct as God
Nor any more than He can it be killed;
Then fearless give thy body 10 The clod.
For naught can quench the light that once

Three messengers-the first was human
Love:
The second voice came crying in the night
With strange and awful music from above

Physique of american Women

In the last few years change for the
better has been observed in the physique
of American women. This is due in
great part to the taking of more exercise
and to the regularity with which it is
taken. To plunge into excessive exer-
else for day or two and then to relapse
into former indolent habits is productive
OF harm. American women are walk
ing more than ever before, and they are
commencing to take part in out door
sports, too. This improvement is due
to some extent to the habit of life wit

Some Charming Hats.

An elegant hat has the crown covered
with pale gray cloth embroidered with
gold tinsel. The brim, which is fiat and
projecting in front and Tapped at the
back, is covered with plain dark gray
dropping ostrich tips, is posed high on
the crown and bow of velvet is set on
the back. A handsome turban with
muff to match has the crown draped
with cloth of medium ecru tint, en-
broidered in an arabesque design of del
icate black silk soutache, and the brim
covered with black velvet, draped OIL.

Train Them to Be Useful.

Mrs. Boyle in Cassell's Magazine: A
woman who cannot cook dinner as
well as eat it, make dress as we'll as
wear it, woman who cannot turn her
hand to anything when occasion re-
quireS. who is not able to train her
servants practically and teach them the
value of economy of time as well as
money is not, in my opinion, educated
at all, though she may be very much
cultivated, and even have been to col

GOOD PAY AND POOR WORK.
The Reason Why 1t Is So Hard to
Get Good Cooks.

Cincinnati Commercial.
Until every mistress reSolutely refuses
to give firSt-claSS wages to unframed
girls, we shall never have good cooks.
As things are now, there is no incentive
to an ambitious girl. While poor serv-
ice receives good pay, why should one
trouble herself to give any better?
There was time when there seemed
no choice in the matter, but with cook
ing and training schools multiplying on
every side at low rates for tuition, there
is certainly no longer an excuse for raw
ignorance in the kitchen.
The girls who go out TO service are
now, however, so accustomed to receiv-
ing pay for wretched work, no matter
how waSteful and incompetent they are,
that it will take combined action on the
part of EMPLOYERS to induce them to
prepare themselves for their calling.
This training cannot be obtained in
the kitchen for two reasons. First, the
average mistress of the household is
herself almost as unframed as the serv-
ant; and, second, because not one mis-
treSS in Thousand has the time, the
patience, or the disposition to make the
sacrifice necessary to thoroughly train
the girl. who may leave her at any time
her Whim inclineS her to do so.

Ladies' Collars.

Neck dressing continues much the
same style. The merest edge of linen
showing beyond the collar and cuffs of
the dress waist is all that fashion allows.
Some of the collars have tiny downward
turning points, not broken over, but
added to the upper edge of the collar.
White, cream or colOred silk canvas

Ruches of white lisse are passe, but

NOTES IN THE BALL ROOM.
Points OF the Toilette Observed in
Fashionable AssemblaCe.

FASAiIOh<tOlS hSScIlluka&S.
For ball dresses, the one idea should
be to get uncommon combinations and
novel effects. The very faintest blue
may be used with moss green, grays
and trimmed with flame and nasturtium
reds, and brown and tabac shades are
very fashionable.
Corn yellow and geranium red point
deSprit net dresses are especially be-
coming to brunetteS and some types of
blonde beauty. Copper brown tulle en-
br0idered with bronze beads and embel-
lished with Marechael Mel roses is also
very effective.
Dresses of moss green tulle dotted
with bead drops of the coler of the
famous Indian beetle and Topped with
satin ribbons in pale apple green and
moss are very much worn.
Black and gold is a charming cOmbi-
alton. One lovely dress had spray of
gilt leaves, nuts and grasses amidst the
skirt draperies and pendant gold grass
fringe about the low neck.
Skirts of white valencienneS are worn
with satin bodies, the heliotrope, prim-
rOse-yellOw and old-rose shades being
most sought after. White tulle and gold
is also favOrite combination. All the
accessories to the toilet must then match,
the sash, gloves, fan and flowers, &C
cOrding with the color of the bodice.
Lace and painted gauze fans with
sticks of mother of pearl are carried
with the fight ball dresses. The painted
designs are exquisite, representing
pastoral scenes, cupids or butterflies,
bees or other winged creatures lowering
over banks of flowers.
Pretty feather fans are made of swan
quilts or stiff cocque feathers, with
handles of amber or tortoise shell. They
come in all tintS to match evening toilets
and are round, oval or lyre-shaped.
Black or bronze slippers and hose are
worn with all styles of evening dress.
Roses are the favorite flowers, great
punches of them tied with ribbon being
carried. Orchids are the latest fashion
able fancy. They are extensive.
