There is a curious lack in America.
The dining rooms Of country houses are
generally small and not cheerfully fur
nished. The more modern houses are
improving in this respect, and we have
lately seen many a large room with a
good outlook, or with hard wood floor or
mating, or with India rugs. The table
should be round or oval. The chairs of
some hard wood, with cane. The table
cloth of fine damask, smelling of Iaven-
der; colored cloths are only permissible
for dinner and tea. The matter of light
ing rooms troubles people who live in
country neighborhoods. If there is no
gas, candles are pretty, but very trouble
some. The wind blows the flame to and
fro, insects flutter into the flame, an I'M
happy moth seats himself on the wick,
and burning into al unsightly cadaver,
makes a gutter down one side; the little
red paper shade takes fire, and there is
endless trouble. Kerosene smells abom-
inably. However, a pretty %carcel, OF
moderator lamp with transparent shade
is the best thing, and, now that they
come with long brass standards, very
convenient. Mrs. NJ. E. w. Sherwood.

My dear sir and my dear madame,
when your little child comes to your side,
her sweet eyes big with wonder, relating
to you some trifing happening, don't be
bored or uninterested. Do not send her
AWAY unanswered. Get down on your
knees, as it were, and try to be sweet
and innocent and eager and pure as
she is. Try not to outgrow the song
Of birds, the laughter of children,
the wonder of growing trees. the tears
that we shed over lead babies and rainy
days and tales that end sadly. Try not
to outgrow the home games and the home
news, and the great little events Of your
neighborhood. Do not be a cynic where
fondness and tenderness and trust and
love are concerned. Do not laugh at
gushing girls and lads who try to write
poetry. Do not sneer at the church
fairs OF the tribulations Of the gentle lit
tie president of the sewing society.
These things are just as much life rs
going to Europe--as being elected to on
grcss or writing n great book. Do not
think you alone live and all else on earth
only exist-for oh, l tell you again, no
song of yours, no book of yours, no grand

The plains are not adapted to a m

The dressing room of a circus presents
a queer scene during a performance. Tho
dressing tent is divided by curtains eight
TO ten feet high into three different com
partments. In one the men dress, in
another the women make their toilets,
and in the third, which is the first en-
tered from the exhibition tent, the ami
mails 10 be used in the different acts are
made ready for the work, the horses
-addled and bridled and the trick animals
dressed. In the mems dressing room
with the Barnum show over 100 indi-
viduals at a time are removing their
street CARDS and getting into their ring
costumes. Look into this department in
the morning, when no performance is
going on. and you will see only -four or
ive rows of closed trunks, more than
$50 stretching in five or six lines through
the space. On posts four feet high, at
intervals, are small, square table tops
and square 14x14 inch mirrors. The
tables have chalk and bismuth stains,
and there are marks of much usage on
them. At these tables and before these
mirrors the clowns inc other performers
make up
The trunks are arranged in exactly the
am order in every town. Each man
has his place, and he can go into the tent
in the dark and place his hand on his
trunk. All n~ationalities are here com
mingled. You can see a devout Arab
among his companions in all conditions
of costume or nudity sitting piously read
ing his Koran. and Japanese acrobats
carefully preparing themselves and their
children for their act in the ring All
the performers are on hand at Z o'clock,
and when they go home after the per
Torrance their trunks are packed and
locked. and so when we leave a city the
trunks are lifted into wagons and carried
away only to be deposited in exactly the
same order in the next town in which
we show. q. o. Starr in Globe-Demo-

WHEN DOES A CLOCK GAINf-
Most persons think spring.clock
loses time when it is nearly run
down, and gains when first wound
up. The case is exactly the reverse,
with pendulum clock. When a
clock is wound up, the motion is
stronger and the pendulum has
longer swing; taking more time for
each beat. When the spring loses
Its power by being nearly run down,
the swing of the pendulum is shorter
consequently the beat is made quick.
er and the clock is gaining. If it is
a spring-clock, without a pendulum /;
then the clock gains when first
wound. The above is what the
clock makers say, and they ought to
know.

There are two usual ways of doing what ma
ture sometimes does incompletely, namely,
to relieve the bowels. One is to swallow a
drastic purgatlve which evacuates profusely,
abruptly and with pain, the other is to take
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. the effect of
which is not violent, but sufficiently thorough
and which does not grippe the intestines. If
the first is selected. the person employing it
need not expect permanent benefit and he
cannot hope to escape the facilitating reac-
tion which leaves the organs as bad or worse
off than before. If on the other hand, he re-
sorts to the Bitters. he can rely upon the res
toration of regular habit OF body, consequent
upon q renewal of a healthful tone in the in
testinal canal. Besides healthfully relaxing
the bowels. the Bitters arouses a dormant liv-
er. imparts beneficial impetus to the action
of the kidneys, and counteracts the early
twinges of rheumatism, tendency to govt,
and malaria In all it's forms.
