Tho pinerenco In Feathers.

Considerable misunderstanding often re-
suits Sfrom housekeepers failing to compre-
bend that a feather with almost 10 stem,
almost as light therefore as down, will weigh
SO much less in tho same bulk, that half the
quantity of feathers by weight are required
as for a heavier feather. a pillow that
weighs more than two and a half pounds to
a tick, twenty-five by t~wentyeight inches in
size, is too heavy to DO economical. 1t is
true that such light feathers will cost sl.2O n
pound, but it will require five pounds OF
seventy-five cent feathers to fill tho samo
tick, and the pillow of expensive feathers
will cost only So, whilc the pillow of cheaper
feathers will cost $40. a pillow Of cancels
hair wool and one of down are delightful ad-
ditions to the lounge where it is difficult to
get enough pillows. Here, usually, a small
pillow filled with balsam fir is placed. Per-
sons who suffer from headaches and rush of
blood to the head and infant children should
use a hair pillow to leepupon.-Good House

A Floral Hint.

1t is an easy matter to secure beautiful hya,
cinth blooms in winter. 1t is only necessary
to remember the fact, and act upon it, that
the roots must get a good start before the
leaves are put forth. BY potting in rich
earth, and setting them away in a cool, dark
place for about six weeks, the roots will form
inside without the leaves starting. then they
may be brought into the light and warmth
and the beautiful blooms will shortly appear.
By use of the regulation hyacinth glasses,
simply filling them with water SO that the
roots of the bulb will rest in it, and following
the same method as for potting above men
toned, We get an effect hat is preferred by
some, but We like them best in the old red
flower pots.
Do not, from Il mistaken idea of tidiness,
cut away the stalks Of arundo eulalia and
such things in fall, for tho hollow stalks left
sticking up convey the water to the center of
the plant, where it freezes and thaws, to the
death Of the plant. Left on, tho tops form
its own protection.-American Garden.

Nine Peyana1d was born In Paris,
and up to the time of her marriage en-
joyed the respect of all who knew her.
Soon after her wedding her husband, q
barber, died, leaving her In pos
session of the secret of identifying
the complexion She continued the bus
mess, but 1t was not sufficiently remu-
lucrative, whereupon she conceived the
idea Of compelling her customers to pay
more literally.
She advertised extensively, promising
the most remarkable improvement by
the use of her wash, but enjoining ALSO
lutte secrecy upon tho ladies whom she
proposed to benefit. Soon her business
increased, and then she put her scheme
into operation Selecting the wealthiest
of patrons she gave them q mixture
which when applied to the face
brought out blotches instead of
roses. When they applied for relief,
she would demand an exorbitant sum
to effect q cure which her vic
Tins only too gladly paid. She contin-
ued this business successfully for some
time, until q Miss Nichols, who was vic
timized, had her arrested for swindhng.
She was tried In Paris In 1875 and sem
fenced to prison. After serving several
years she managed to escape and sailed
for New York, where abe lived very
quietly. Ono day she attended church,
and, overcome with remorse, sought the
officiating priest and confessed her sins,
stating at the same time her readiness to
do penance- The priest advised her to
forsake her evil ways and spend her
days in prayer.
She at once came to this city and
sought the hut ON the Catonsville road,
In which she passed the remainder of her
life. She prayed constantly and often
scourged herself. Her only companions
were h dumb animals she collected.
Up to within a few days before her death

erty will probably go to the Catholic

WrTH the iour territories most Justly
entitled to admission into the Union out
of the way, Wyoming is not only in line
of promotion but heads the list of appli-
cants for statehood. The territory was
not entitled to such recognition while
Dakota and Washington vainly sought the
honor, but it is a significant fact worthy
of attention that leading newspapers OF
the country are now not only giving some
consideration to our claims, but admit
that we may with most Justice now claim
the distinction before any of the remain
ing territories. With the great forward
movement which will be i~naugurated this
season Wyoming's advantages must soon
be generally acknowledged, and the out
side pressure on congress will force the
recognition which will soon be deserved.
The Omaha Bee in considering the sub
iect says: 1T was to be expected that
Wyoming would be spurred on to renewed
zeal in pushing forward her claims to
statehood BY the admission of Dakota.
There can be no question that the next
territory to be clothed with sovereignty
will be Wyoming. Her rapidly i%ncreas-
ing population, her rich mineral resources,
her advantages as a stock growing coun-
try, and the DEVELOPMENT of her railroad
and commercial enterprises will all COM
bine to force congress to an early recog-
milton of Wyoming's fitness to govern
