4 Gentle Reminder.

According to a story lately circulated in
Berlin the emperor appeared at 6 O'Clock one
morning most unexpectedly at the barracks
Of Dragon regiment. The soldiers were
ready for maneIvers, but the commanding
officer had not yet arrived The emperor
waited half an hour, when the delinquent ar
rived. His feelings at the sight Of his sover-
eign can better be imagined than described.
But the emperor did not say word. He as
sisted at the maneuvers, made several obser-
vations, as usual, and finally left without adj
dressing word to the officer In fault, who
considered himself lost. He went home in
despair, expecting from moment TO moment
to receive the news Of his disgrace. With
the customary expeditions ways of the en-
perOr, he knew he would not have long to
wait. But the afternoon passed, then the
evening, and still nothing occurred He had
not dared to leave the house, In dread of the
events whichwere to decide his future career
Finally, as the evening wore on, he ventured
out for a walk. On returning home he found
little package addressed to him. No letter
or message accompanied it. He hastily ope-4-
ed the mysterious parcel and found it con-
tanned an alarm clock--Providence Journal

study OF every feature and the face as whole
lie knows that only parts of the face can be
taken, and all the rest must fan upon the
plate In shadow, and it is his art that leads
him to determine what those parts shall be,
SO to best catch the expression, the person
atty. The portrait painter does no more in
this direction. The medium is different, and
he has palette Of colors to depend upon,
while the photographer is reduced to tones
and tlnts Of black and white alone.
"Wiu you have proofs of thisl Here are
two. Have you ever carefully noticed the

those portions of the features on which the
light falls are not just what is necessary to
give the expression. And the make up Of
the expression differs in every individual

He Won't Intrude There Again.

Washington has long been notorious for q
small class of hard faced, persistent people,
who make the rounds of fashionable enter

sexes, and are alike marked for brazen audac-
ity. One was well done up last season and

eIclusiveness. At dance given by it this
bold intruder put in an appearance, faultiess-

pleasant evening, topped off with a fine col

pened together and attention was called to
the conspicuous stranger, whom none Of them
knew By a comparison of notes it was
quickly discovered that none of the author
lied persons had issued him an invitation,
and only one even knew his name. That one
approached him and asked:
'Win you inform me whose guest you are
this EVENING"
The intruder hemmed and hawed, but did
not afford the desired information.
'You will have to pardon me-" continued
the gentleman, ''but it is necessary to know
the name of the friend who has invited you
here"
Not receiving any satisfactory response the
floor manager continued
you fail to see what am trying to make

A SONG OF KILLARNEY.

By the Lakes Of Killarney, one morning In Nav
On my pipe of green holly warsled away,
While blackbi I'd. high up on the arbutus tree,
Save back my gay music with g,lshes of glee, :.
When NY Eileen's voice stole
From the thicket of holly
And turned just the whole
OF our futing TO folly,
And softly along
Through the myrtle and heather
The maid and her song
Swept upon US together.
Twas an old Irish tale, fun of passionate trust
Of two faithful lovers long laid in the dust,
And her eyes, she sang, looked SO far, far away
She went by me, nor knew she went by where
lay.
And myself and the grass,
And the deeshy red daisies
Should let our dear pass,
Only whispering her praises,
Till the lass and her lay
Through the myrtle and heather
Like dream died away
Ger the mountain together.

Dress Goods.

For years, the announcement of ''Spring Dress Goods'' has met the eye in every paper, from almost every Dry Goods House. It's rather old, but yet something new is generally shown by

 The prominent goods that are to be seen, this season, in Fancy Wool Stuffs are the Persian Flouncings, Side Bands, All-over Embroidery, Plain with border and side bands to match, Figured Cash meres, Printed Mohairs, and we could go on and enumerate hundred that are shown in Novelty Dress Suits, to be seen over their counters.
 The colorings are grand; blending, as they do, 1t gives the effect of Nature It. self. The remark is often heard, while passing by the long stretch of counter on which Dress Goods are displayed, ssHow do they ever make such beautiful goods g''

 In this department, too, are found the suits of Silk, Cashmere, Lawn and Ging- ham, all carefully made and nicely trim med. Not Suit is placed in the stock until it has been carefully examined as to material and workmanship. So much pains are taken that these goods are of ten better made and nearer the correct style than those made from materials purchased by the yard.

body is thinking up just what is needed for the coming Spring and Summer dress. Nothing better can be had than those beautiful, soft, delicate to handle and wear India, Shanghai, and Benga- line Silks, which now come in every conceivable shade and figure. These are used for Evening and Afternoon Dress es and also make up into Tea Gowns with very pleasing effect.
 Silks in black are Faille Franchise, Rhadama, Surah, ''Regatta,' F Black Gros Grain, Moire and Moire Franchise. These are in several grades, widths and prices, so that every taste, desire and purse can be gratified.
 There is one thing regarding the Silks sold by
 THE D. NJ. READ co. And that is the universal satisfaction which they always give. Seldom do they have Q complaint that their Silks grow shiny or crack, for the long expe- rienee which they have had enables their buyer to select only such goods as they can guarantee. Of these goods, samples can be had by writing for them and the surety given that an order sent by mail will be just as satisfactory as though se- lected in person. This firm do an inn ing many of the lines used.
 In connection with the Silk and Dress Goods departments, it will be in true keeping to mention the large department of Dress Trimmings. This is situated nearly opposite and is spot of beauty. innumerable styles, from the narrow to the extra wide, which is placed on the bottom of dresses. Passementeries in jet, silver and tinsel are in all conceiva- ble combinations and, now-a-days, these trimmings form most important part of the gown. Persian and wool ground bands with embroidery, forming a ka- leidoscopic effect, are among the new novelties.
 Then, right along adjoining this stock, are the Gloves and Parasols. We can not give full justice to this department, for we see so many styles and colors of kid, silk and lisle Gloves in street and evening shades that it would be hard for us to really tell what we did see. Prob ably the greatest change in anything in the Dry Goods line, this season, is in Parasols; new shapes, new colors, new handles, every part changed so as to give customers something to admire.
