back upon the inevitable handkerchief
case. The fact of Mrs. Noah having
plated these useful articles out of
marsh grasses for Shem, Ham and
Japheth need not prevent any one
from exercising their taste in this
matter, for you can make them out of
anything, from patched pants dawn to
satin and plush. If one wishes airy
nOthings for their 500 friends. nothing
is so appropriate as tulle sachet-bags
filled with miIkweed fuZZ, which is the
quinteSsence of nothingness. Having
o en- some beautiful specimens of this
dainty work at fair last week, L was
seized with the ambition to initiate, and
started out at once in search of the
weeds: but unfortunately the season is
passed, and was reduced to begging
some pods from .neighbor. 1t was
simple enough to open the pods, but
picking cut the seed was another mat
ter, and whole morning was given up
to making two. After tying them with
the narrowest ribbon, l sat surveying
my handiwork with satisfaction. when
Charley came in and asked, with mas
culine scorn, what those things were.
"Sachet-bags," | replied very meekly.
Ito put in bureau drawer, you Know
WELL" he said very deciSiyely and
none of that stuff is for me. for one
poke of a finger through that thing
would get enough fuzz in bureau to
last through two generations. Why
don't you make pig books. They. at
least, will do to send the children i'll the
country"
This was a wise suggestion, and / ex-
pect now to devote myself TO this branch
of artistic invention until every child of
my acquaintance has pig album. 1t
not only develops taste for high art,
but cultivates and encourages an army
of poets, for the verse in the album
must be original. We may now indulge
our poetic passion without restraint,
and instruct the youth of our nation in
glorious verse, after this order:
Shut your eyes tight and draw pig,
Any kind. either little or big:
Make one small eye and bristling hair,
And draw his tail end up with care.

Emergency Prayers.

Greensboro (Ga.) Record.
A story is told of a man in near
county, whose name we withhold. The
gentleman in question is not asmemb Der
of the church, and, while honest and up
right in all his dealings, does not go
very strong on religion. Not many
months ago, just after biz rain, he was
driving along a certain road. On reach
ing the top of hill-at the bottom of
which was a creek much swollen by the
rains and away out of its banks-his
mules considered they would run away
They pitched off down the hill at furi-
Gus pace. The man did all in his power
to check them, bat in vain. inst before
they reached the rushing water the man
shouted to his boy, who was in the
wagon with him:
I'VE are going to be drowncdl Pray.
Jim, prayi"
dad. can't pray"
''Say something's he shrieked, as
they dashed into the water.
''Oh, dad. | can'tl' But, thinking
second, the boy shouted: Lord. make
US thankful for what we are about to re-
ceivei"
Then they went down into the creek,
which was not as deep as the man had
expected, and the mules, having had
their fun out, went on at a more
leisurely gait. The man has since
learned number OF prayers for sud
den emergencies.

TIE POPULAR FAD.

Feminine disappointment in any case

we are at least the fashion. The poor
Indian, the oppressed negro, or the open
passage to the north pole, was never SO.
We are quite the proper thing on all oc-
casions, and nothing is really complete
or good for without us. A reform move
ment that has not TO do with
our cause in some shape or
other is doomed from the start.
Clubs that make no effort to ameliorate
our conditiOn-lift up the dOwnfallen,
educate the ignorant, franchise the un-
franchised, marry the unmarried-are
scarcely respectable in polite society.
While we remain the style mems souls
have small hope of redemption, and the
heather of foreign lands has practically
no show We are set up behind coun-
GERS and behind desks everywhere. a
etOre without us is not up to the times,
and the man whose Office has no place
for us is looked upon with suspicion by
all men who do not wear ready-made
clothing We are in greater favor than
hell or the inspiration of Scripture with
fashionable preachers, and the poll
ticlan treats us with all the courtly con-
sideration due popular movement and
a potential vote. The sixteenth son of
an English lord travelling in America
receives no more attention from the
daily papers than we do. We dance,
talk, display our wardrObes, even to our
underclothing, on several exclusive
pages of the big Sunday sheets. In
literature we control the market. While

verse and prose, the great cool thoughts
of men sink out of sight like icicles in
the heat of our passion. Ii men are
writing books nowadays, who hears OF
it? The small boy of to-day told to de-
fine literature would answer: THE
Quick or the Dead. The Story of an
African Farm and Robert Elsmere," and
asked 'Who is first in war, first in peace
and first in hearts of his countrymen?"
would reply, "Amelle Rives-Chanler."
In religion. which is now chiefly an in
teresting subdivision of literature,
we are no less fad, and a
great deal more-Robert ElSmere.
There is tradition of like import atloat
about one Jesus Christ. but it Is mat
ter of fact that Mrs. Humphrey Warde

light that settles il. Unbeiief, as pre-
scribed by Olive Schreiner, Is then pos
itively the only truth that is wholly not
bad form. What will the end be? Who
will predict the outcome of our present
popularity? Are we destined to go out
of style gradually like the hustle, or
shall we grow in grace until the man in
the moon parts his hair in the middle
and small boys in first trowsers cry for
their lost petticoats?

Humorous "wedding of Souls"

Cincinnati Enquirer.
There is a great deal of talk here over
a curious matter involving the daughter
of respected and intelligent, not to
say prominent, family and certain pro-
fessor of spiritualism. The young lady
has been blessed with many charms,
and has acquired all the accomplish
ments necessary TO make her an orna-
ment in life. Her mother is believer
in spiritualism and has consultations
with the misty forms of departed
friends. Naturally of a speculative turn
of mind the young lady early acquired
n knowledge of ali the shadowy and i'll
defined isms, and was not long in be-
coming convinced of the reality of the
intangible. Recently she began spend
ing much time alone in her room. evil
IDENTITY obliyious to mundane surround
ings, and announced her engagement
to the spiritualist referred to. saying
his soul had asked for the possession of
hers. Her mother was delighted and
announced that the two We're soon to
wed The professor now says his soul
never proposed to the young woman,
and that he doesn't intend to marry
her; and, Strangest of all, has never
seen her to know who she is.

Mrs. Morton's Daughters.

Washington Letter.
The daughters of Mrs. Morton will
figure handsomely in the Washington
household, that is certain. They are
too young to be "in society,"" according
to New York swell usage, but that does
not prevent them from taking part in
the various festivities here, nor will it
be any bar to their prominence at the
capital. The eldest, Edith, will be in
her sixteenth year by the time the first
winter of the new administration comes
around. and that will be sufficient age
to warrant ''coming OUT occasion for
her. She is q pretty girl, with many
graces of manner and fine education,
already well along to completion. Miss
Lena is only year younger, and Miss
Helen year younger yet. Mrs. Nor

Cramps in the Leg,

 There is nothing easier than to make the spasm let go its hold, and it can be accom- plished without sending for doctor, who may be tired and in need of 9 good nights rest. When have patient who is subject to cramp always advise him to proyids himself with good strong cord. A long garter will do if nothing else is handy. When the cramp comes on take the cord, wind it around the leg over the place that is cramped, and take all end in each hand and give it sharp pull-one that will hurt a Gttle. Instantly the cramp will let up and the sufferer can go to bed assured it will not come on again that pight-lDr. St. Clair in Herald of Health.
