Money for the Home Rule cause is pour

is ueedful and welcome. Money talks. and
never so eloquently as when it raises its
jinging voice for civil liberty and the rights

James Anthony Froude again declares that
the collapse of the London Times case
against Parnel makes Irish Home Rule an
immediate certainty. SO it may Yet turn out
that the friends of local self government in
ireland will have to ten Ter vote of thanks
to Piggott and Walter for Their effective
help to the righteous cause.-Netr Fork
Wortd.
Mr.. Froude's declaration that the exposure
of the Pigott forgeries makes Home Rule an
immediate certainty is all the more impress
siye from the fact that Mr., FrouIe continues
to be a rapid aud unreconciled opponent of
Home Rule. He has taken paius TO declare
that he considers the grant of local self
government to Ireland disasters but with
the exposure of the forgeres and cbicanery
that have been made the basis of the attack
on the Home Rulers, he does not think the
Tory party can retain its supremacy
Nevertheless it is plain that the Tory leal-
ers will try to hang on. SO long as they can
retain their majority they will stomach the
fact of forgery and lying to carry their
measures, as best they can, and hope for
some new development to prolong their
power.-Pihsbnrg DlsPatch.

A Pretty Girls Simple Remedy

New York Morning Journal.
A great many earnest thinkers OF a
nervous temperament fan into the habit
of scowling when they read, write or
talk seriously. This causes two little
perpendicular lines to plough in be-
tween the eyes and ages face ten
years.
1t is habit almost impossible to cor
rect, once formed, as it is done uncOn-
sciouslY by great many young people.
Even in sleep their brOWS will be drawn
together in this malicious little froWn,
that is the alder and abetter of age.
A bright. studious young woman, still
in her early tWentIes. found herself the
victim of this scowl, which had already
made two fine hair lines in her white
brow. She ser herself to work to cure
the habit by setting her mirror before
her face when she read. wrote or stud
led: but, as this distracted her attention
from her work, she finally placed a rib
bon band tightly across her brow, tying
it in a knot at the back of her head and
at night she slept in the band.
After several months the little hair
lines disappeared from her pretty fore
head, and she is quite cured of the dis
figuring habit.
A smooth. white, uncorrugated brow
is one of the greatest attractions in a
woman's face, while prematurely fur
rowed and wrinkled brow mars the
beauty and youth of the faireSt feat

Still undaunted, the doting woman
thought out way. Down by the river
the skeleton of what had been a green

ened upright in box stand
ard in the sitting room. The
branches of this she covered

there were tapers at the suffers, for

If one only considers that we were

it was the dead of winter, and that it
was only with the greatest difficulty,
and even at the risk of life, that our

what obstacles were surmOunted to eel

One universal custom was for all OF
us to spend all the time we could to-

We usually had a sleigh ride. and every
one sang and laughed as we sped
over the country, where there were
no neighbors to be disturbed by
our gayety. If 1t was warm enough
there poured out of garrison

or conviyial chorus where everybody
announced that they "wOuldn'tgO home

not entirely musical.
The feast of the day over, we adj
journed from dinner to play some games
of our childhood, in order to make the
states and our homes seem a little
nearer. Later in the evening, when the
music came up from the band quarters,
every one came to the house of the conf

healthful people with a determinati on
