and delight in making them look lovely.
and some OF them threatened to leave
Fitzherbert unless / undertook the ar
rangement of their bonnets and caps
for the term OF my single life. Fitz.
herbert offered me very liberal pay for
my assistance, and was so glad to
think OF helping poor old daddy that
at first l forgot about you and your
possible objection TO marrying young
woman who worked for a shop; but
thought OF this afterward. and was al
ways fighting with my conscience about
telling you the truth. But, indeed,
there are many lady milliners in Lon

THE MATTER OF DRESS.
Why Women who Desire to Be Respecte
Should Wear Neat Apparel.

why Women Who Desire to BE Respecte cd
Should Wear Neat Apparel.
At the present time, when dress
goods in artistic patterns and excellent
colors can be bought at compare
lively low price, there is no reason
why every woman in the land should
not be neatly and tastefully dressed.
While It is censurable folly to sacrifice
the entire time to the preparation OF
clothes, IL is equal folly to ignore the
importance of neat, well-fitting cloth
ing or their power i'm gaining the
wesrer respect and consideration in
the world. A man may often be ex-
cused for carelessness of attire, but
most persons who are lenient TO a man
will ngree with good Dr. Young that
"a female sloven is an odious sight"
There is no excuse for a woman, unless
she is mercilessly overburdened with
care, wearing shabby, ill-ftting clothes,
because, II necessity demand, every
woman with ordinary common sense can
make her own clothes. II Is n shame
for her to despise or ignore the de-
mands OF the world that she shall DO
neatly dressed, and il is her duty TO
make enough sacrifices TO secure this
result-a result which may be readily
accomplished by any capable American
girl.
There are several reasons why wom-
Ell who desire the respect of the world
remain shabby. and one Of the most
common of these is the attempt to
wear too fine clothes; another, the at
tempt to keep on hand too many
dresses. Either is serious mistake
A woman may be dressed in exquisite
taste in n gown of cotton or wool, and
a sloven is doubly the sloven in a gown
OF silk. II is worth thought and care
to learn to dYess with taste. The
dressed women in the world, are also
the most economical. That is, they
secure the best effects in dress by the
expenditure OF less money than
the women OF any other race.
1t is senseless for woman
10 POSSESS more gowns IMAM Sne
can use. II is far wiser to have few
and adapt them to the prevailing mode.
Many well-dressed women keep only
two or three wool gowns, or two of
wool and one OF silk, on hand at
time, and this is n sufficient number
for woman in the average circum-
stances in life on whom social exact
ions make no great demand. 1t is as
unseemly and undignitied to ignore the
changes in fashion utterly rs it is folly
to become subservient slave to fash
ion. A wise, sensible woman adopts
medium course. A famous writer has
defined a well-dressed woman rs one
the details of whose costume are so
nicely balanced in such perfect taste
that she attracts no special attention,
either as over-dressed or eccentric In
her dress. Such n result demands
care, and is worth the care. The WE'LL
dressed woman follows the epigram-
matte advice OF Pope:
Be not the first on whom the new is tried;
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE Love-LloHr.


How bright the golden sunlight Is,
How far Its beams extend,
With wide embracing loneliness
Till evening shades descend
But brighter than the light OF day,
That shines In yonder skies,
Is the love-light-the love-light
Within my darling's eyes.
How fair the silver moonlight is,
How softly, sweetly, fall
The radiant beams that swiftly cast
a splendor over all
Dear Is the scene with Luna's face
Unvailed, yet more prize
The love-llght-the love-iight
Within my darling's eyes.
All other lights will fade away;
The sun will cease 10 burn,
The moon withhold its cheerful rayi
They come and go In turn;
But shining brightly in my home,
However dark the sky.
Is tho love-light love-light
Within my darlings eyes.

SPEED OF LOCOMOTIVES.
Why IL Is Necessarily Limited by tn
Weight of the Wheels.

| Why IL Is Necessarily Limited by the
Weight of the Wheels.
The speed OF locomotives has not in
creased with their weight and size.
There is natural law which stands in
the way of this. If we double the
weight on the driving-wheels the ad-
hesions and consequent, capacity for
drawing loads, is also doubled. Rea-
soning in an analogous way, IL might be
said that II we double the circumfer-'
epco of the wheels the distance that
they will travel in one revolution, and,
consequently the speed OF the engine,
will be in like proportion. But, II this
be done, it will require twice as much
power TO turn the large wheels as was
needed for the small ones; and we then
encounter the natural law that the re-
sistance increases MS the square Of
the speed, and probably at even a
greater ratio at very high velocities
At sixty miles an hour the resistance
OF train is four times as great as 1t Is
at thirty miles. That is the pull on
the draw-bar OF the engine must be
four times as great in the one case as
IL is in the other. But at sixty miles
an hour this pull must be exerted for o
given distance in half the time that
it is at thirty miles, so that the amount
Of power exerted and steam generated
In q given period Of time must be eight
times as great In the one case as in the
other This means that the capacity
OF the boiler, cylinders and the other
parts must be greater, with corre-
spondin G addition to the weight OF the
machine. Obviously, II the weight
per wheel is limited, we soon reach q
point at which the size OF the driving
wheels and other parts can not be en-
larged, which means that there Is q
certain proportion Of wheels, cylinders
and boiler which give a maximum
speed. -Scri6ner's Magazine.
