TOM THUMBS WIDOW.
She is Forty-Seven, and a Head Shorter
Than Her Second Match.

Boston Journal: Tom Thumbs wild
ow, who will not consent to exhibit
herself at museums now, passed through
the city few days ago. Seated in an
easy chair, to reach the seat of which
the need of a cricket was absolutely
necessary, the diminutive lady extend
ed the hand of welcome, and, with
smile, shook her head as the visitor gave
greeting to "Mrs. Charles Stratton."
mo longer Mrs. Stratton," she said.
81 am now the Countess Magri, and he
is my husband, the count" The gen.
tleman thus introduced was a hand
some little fellow, whose years and
whose inches are almost the same, for
the crown of his head reaches only the
level of an upright yard stick and his
age is but thirty nine. Mrs. Stratton-
Magri, if the double appelation may
be used, is forty-seven years old now,
and she stands q head--that is to say,
a lillipution hoad-shorter than her
husband.
"We were married only four years
ago." she said, sand notice that many
people still find it hard to separate my
name from tho generals. He, poor
man, passed away six years ago"

oLD-FAsHloNED SCHOOL MA'AM.

How dear to my heart is the old-fashioned
schoolma'am,
When sad recollections presents her to
view;
Would make the whole future look fear
fully blue.
And still in my fancy feel my flesh Jingle,
Time never can quite the sensation de-
For when she got ratified she made the house
jinkle--
The old-fashioned schoolma'am knew
The red headed schooima am, the strong
muscled schoolma'am,
The argus-eyed schoolma'am | knew
when boy.
II we dared crook finger twas quickly
detected,
And followed at once with punishment
dread,
Until all the boys in the school half sus-
She could see just as wen with the back
of her head.
There, then, was no use in our trying to
fool her,
She had an impression VIC couldn't de-
stroy,
And so She would earnestly lay on the
ruler
The red headed schoolma'am, the strong
museled schoolma'am,
The argus-eyed scnoolma'am / knew
when boy.
And yet, Notwithstanding her constant en-
deavor,
Our school days with sly, boyish pleasure
were fraught,
We always were into some mischief when
ever
We thought we could do it without being
caught.
We threw paper wads and were noisy and
pranky,
And did everything which we could to
annoy;
No wonder that once in a while she was
cranky
The old -fashioned schoolma'am I knew
when a boy;
The boarded round schoolma am, the I'M
derpaid schoolma' am,
The much abused schoolma'am l knew
when boy.

PURITAN COLLARS.
They are Coming Back in Graceful
Shamrock Patterns.

There are signs of the revival of fine
hand made lace. All varieties OF effec-
tive, bold patterns of linen lace are
used in the popular Vandyke points.
Point de Gene, heavy and effective, but
loom lace, is probably as much used
as any other. The wide Puritan col
lars and cuffs worn by children few
years ago are again revived, and are
shown in graceful shamrock and other
patterns in crochet from converts in
ireland. Russian lace, the handsome
hax-colored lace in vogue several
years ago, and imported, as its name
indicates, from Russia, is again shown
in fine patterns. Old-fashioned Cluny
lace is used in Vandyke points for
childreh's collars.

woLETs FOR THE MORNING.
VIII be Pinned to the Cape or On the
Muff.

World: Violets are the fovorites for
morning wear on the street, and will be
pinned to the cape front or on the
muff. At this season, when banks of
golden or snowy chrysanthemums are
piled high on the flower vender's tray,
1t is pretty custom to stop and buy a
cluster, which is carelessly pinned I'M
der the chin or lower down on the dark
walking dress. The artificial flower
wreaths have quite usurped the place
of natural flowers for evening wear.
Yet it promises to be fancy to wear
at the corsage two or three perfect
roses, pinned SO that the heavy blooms
will nod gracefully, or carry loose cut
flowers caught by long ribbons.

PROTECTION FOR DOLLS.

Good Idea.


Boston Journal: Richard Watson
elders children are all of the most
creative order. Little Dorothea, who
owns to nine summers in the most in
nocent manner, has just invented a
plan for protecting a favorite doll
from the destructive assaults of the
misunderstanding George.
"What is that you have around your
dolls neck, pet?" asked her mother a
few days ago.
"That, mamma" said the little girl,
coming up close to her parent with.a
confidential air, sis a bell. You see
your baby can cry if Georgia bothers
her when you are not looking, but my
baby can't cry, SO I've put this bell on
her 80 that l can hear if Georgia takes
her up when I'm down stairs"

Dust1ng-Boxes for Poultry.

Anyone who has seen what genuine
pleasure it gives to fowls to dust
themselves will readily see that it
must be of great benefit to the birds,
else they would not be so fond of it.
At no season of the year do they re-
fuse dust bath, especially in warm
weather, when lice are prevalent
among them. Unless dust-baths be
supplied, you will have considerable
trouble in keeping the insect vermin
from annoying your poultry, for the
dust is very troublesome to these
pests, and the fowls seem to know
just how and where to scatter and
throw it to produce the best results.
1t is very beneficial to your poultry
to sprinkle carbolic acid in the dust
ing boxes, or if a goodly quantity of
flowers of sulphur be we'll mixed with
the dust, the effect produced will be
increased for either of the above are
very annoying and particularly dis
tasteful to the lice. The moist bod
les of the fowls hold much of these
where the lice mostly gather, viz, I'M
der the wings and amongst the fluff.
From two to four dusting-boxes are
sufficient for almost any common
sized flock, and can be very easily
made of common stuff, say about
twenty inches square, and from six to
ten inches deep, according to the size
of your breeds. They should be re-
plenished as often as necessary, fine,
dry, and sifted street dirt, coal ashes
and fine river sand being perhaps the
most desirable.

The western farm mortgage, pur-
chased of irresponsible brokers and
loan agents, is beginning to show its
uncertain value to careless eastern in
vestors. The experience in Kansas
has disclosed the risky nature Of some
of these investments. Many farms
have been abandoned to the mort
gagees. New companies have been
formed to carry these defaulted mort
cages and to enable the farmers to
work out of their difficulties. The
mortgage companies to some extent
are to blame, for their agents have
been persistent in persuading farmers
to borrow, and they have doubtless
induced many farmer to put a mort
gage on his farm who had not thought
of doing so before the agent appeared.
1t is time to call a halt on the mort
gage system as now carried on by
eastern capitalists.

To have said ten years ago that
every farmer ought to keep only pure
bred stock, each the best of its kind,
would have sounded to most people
like theoretical nonsense. There are
now, however, many good farmers
who believe in having about them no
other than pure bred stock. The idea
that such animals require better feed
and shelter than common or mixed
stock amounts to nothing as an argu-
ment in favor of the latter. Good
feed and shelter pay well in either
case, but always best when given the
best stock.

hence in preparing milk porridge, graz

ed until the dish is prepared.
2. That clear boiling water will re-

Pour the water through the stain and
thus prevent it spreading over the
fabric.
3. That ripe tomatoes will remove

also from the hands.
4. That tablespoonful of turpen-

and keep it for that purpose. When
the irons are hot rub them first with
the wax rag then scour with a paper
or cloth sprinkled with salt.

piled to the bedsteads is an unfailing

Let us urge upon our farmer read
ers the Importance of carrying a small
life insurance policy. Thousands
have died when their little farms were
only half paid for, and in cases where
the husband had his life insured the
widow was enabled to lift the mort
gage and retain the farm for herself
and children. Otherwise she was left
destitute and thrown upon the chart
ties of not too charitable world. 1t
costs but a trife to take out and main
tain small policy, say 81 900, and
the husband and father who does not
do so is sadly neglecting his duty to
his family.

The Power of the Gospel.

The Rev. DR.. r. S. Storrs, in a
recent notable utterance on s'The
Power of the Gospel in Our National
History" shows that despite the man
fold and formidable opposition,
Christianity has gone on conquering
and to conquer. He says:
1t is remarkable, memorable, that
the gospel of Christ has larger and
wider hold in this country now, pro-
portionately to the population, than
it had hundred years ago; in spite
of the fact that we begun with dis
tinctly sceptical tone in our most
distinguished public men; that we
have been engaged in wide and eager
political discussion, from the first
hour to the present; that we have
had an enormous material work to
do; that there has been this immense
accumulation of wealth and of all
means Of pleasure in the country
that we have had civil war to carry
through to its conclusion; that we
have been receiving multitudinous
populations from all the earth, heath
en- and Christian, piling themselves
upon US until they have seemed to
overshadow and practically overwhelm
the original germ of the English,
Dutch, German and Swedish popula-
ton here. 1t is, indeed, remarka-
BILE result. It shows that the gospel
of Christ is the mightiest moral force
on the face Of the earth. Men may
not accept it. They may say: ooh,
it is the religion of the man in the
pulpit. He believes it, perhaps at
any rate, he teaches it; but it is
nothing to u.s. Fugitive paragraphs
may rage or rattle with sceptical
sneers at it. Men of the world may
say, 81 don't believe it all, and, there
fore, [ don't go to church or care any
thing about it, But no man can
read the philosophy of the history of
this country in the last hundred years
without admitting that here, in the
gospel, as here pronounced, is the
moral force which exists on
the earth. You may call it fancy,
or fiction, or a fable, if you choose;
no matter. 1t is the grandest force
that has ever yet appealed to an
aspiring, intelligent, energetic and
courageous people; and the demon
stration of it is in the history of this
100 wears.

Many q hahu Is drunnad

Many baby is drugged with pare
goric and soothing syrups when all
that it needs or wants is drop of
water. 1t is always a safe thing to
try child with a teaspoonful of water
when it is restless or evinces a desire
to nurse frequently. A child who
cannot ask for it, often suffers tor
ments for drop of water. Especial
ly in hot weather is this true. | have
heard many a mother say that she had
never thought of giving her baby a
drink and yet, from the very nature
of baby's food, it is more apt to re-
quire water than we are. Milk in
duces thirst, as anyone who has tried
a milk diet knows.

For hiccough, moisten granulated
sugar with good vinegar, and of this
take from few grains to teaspoon
full. The effect is almost instantane-
Gus, and the dose seldom needs to be
repeated. 1t can be used for all ages,
from infants of few months old to
those on the down hill side of life.
The remedy is certainly a very simple
one and, although no theory is adj
vanced to account for it's wonderful
action, it merits a trial.
