Cheering the Find.

1t was the new reporter who hac

and dust, as the last form went tt

"Did it take you all day to do that

the city editor.
"S-s-sh! speak low" whispered
the new special in the G. Els ear.
"Got on to A suicide out in the
park-defalcation probably"
"Great Cesar! and we have gone
to press" gasped the editor; 1.-THE

"Not muchv' chuckled the report

"What do you mean?"
"Why, / dragged the body into

The Sweet Word Home.

Home! 1t s charmed word.
Through that one syllable thrill un-
told melodies, the laughter of chill
dren, the sound of well-known foot
steps and the voices of undying af-
fection. Home! l hear in that
word the ripple of meadow brooks
in which knee deep we waded, the
lowing of cattle coming up from the
pasture, the sharp hiss of the scythe
amid the thick grass, the creaking
of the hay rack where we trampled
down the load. Home! Upon that
word there drop the sunshine of boy
hood and the shadows of tender sor-
rows and the reflection of ten thou
SIND fond memories. Home! When
T see it in book or newspaper that
word seems to rise and sparkle and
lean and thrill and whisper and
pray and weep.
1t glitters like shield. 1t springs
ND like fountain. 1t thrills like
song. 1t twinkles like star. 1t
leaps like flame. 1t glows like
sunset. Itsings like an angel. And
if some photographer, urged on by
a spirit from beneath, should seek to
cast forth that word from the lam
guage the children would come forth
and hide it under garlands of wild
flowers; and the wealthy would
come forth to cover it up with their
diamonds and pearls; and the kings
would hide it under their crowns;
and after Herod had haunted its
life from Bethlehem to Egypt and
utterly given up the search, some
bright warm day it would flash from
among the gems and breathe from
among the flowers, and toss from
among the coronets, and the world
would read it, bright and fair and
beautiful and resonant as before.
Home! Home! Home.-Tslmage.

Regularity of Habit.

One of the most difficult OF al
minor habits to acquire is that o.
regularity. 1t ranks with that ol
order. The natural inclinations oi
most persons is to defer until the
last possible moment, or to put OF
to another time, where this can
possibly be done. Yet habits OF
regularity contribute largely to the
ease and comforts of life. A person
can multiply this efficiency by it,
We know persons who have null
titude of duties, and who perform a
vast deal of work daily, who set
apart certain hours for certain du-
ties, and are there at the moment
and attend rigidly to what is in
hand. This done and other engage
ments are met, each in order, and a
vast deal accomplished, not by
strained exertion, but by regularity.
The mind can be so trained to this
that at certain hours in the day 1t
will turn to particular line of duty,
and at other hours different labors.
The very diversity is restful, when
attended to in regular order. But
let these be run together, and the
duties mixed, and what was easy
is now annoying and oppressive,
and the exact difference between
many is just at this point.-Ex.
An actors luck Is illustrated by
the terrible accident at Johnstown,
where a company played, and being
too late to catch the train for the
next town, hired wagons to trans
port them just in time to escape GER
tain death. In spite of the fact that
actors travel more than any other
profession, none seem ever to get
hurt In any kind Of accident.
A case of poisoning from eating a
mackerel has led to the statement
from excellent authority that ''tbe
gills of mackerel undergo fermen-
nation, and that no part Of the head
should be eaten after forty-eight
hours of the fish being caught"
A bit OF military news Is: ''The
queen has been pleased to approve
Of leonard skins being worn Ia fu-
ture with the officers saddlefy of the
Princess Of Wales Own Hussars In
stead of the lants' skins now au-
thoFissd."

WHY WOMEN ARE FASCINATING.
Some of the Reasons That Attract the
Sterner Sex to the Center.
From the RrooEl,n EooIe

The power of fascination inherent in
women may, moreover, be divided into two
kinds All of us have seen the old lady.
generally white-haired, with kindly.
pleasant features, on which time has set no
unfriandly mark, who still retains all her
attractiveness. Note how the BOYS and
girls adore her. They will go to ner and
confide their sorrows, their hopes, their
ambitions, even when they would not
breathe a word to their mothers The
kindly, loving interest evinced in a lads
affairs by such a one has time and again
first implanted the impulses in his heart
which eventually led him on to an honor
able career.
Quickly, almost by stealth, the good is
done by such, and the good seed sown
which will ripen in after time into a rich
and abundant crop. On the other hand,
we have most of us seen, perhaps in real
life, certainly on the stage, the fascinating
adventures who, by her thralling bedute
de didble, enslaves mems souls, and leads
them ION the STAGE to dare all for her sake
Such is directly opposed to the sweet old
lady in her old-fashioned chair, and these
two form the opposite poles between which
the women who fascinate vary.
Types differ, and any one you may select
has some position between these two oppo-
sites. Take, for instance, pretty and
maybe witty woman who, hardly of her
own free will, makes every man fall in love
with her to a greater or less degree. She
may be innocent of all evil intention, but
her position on the scale is not vastly re-
moved from that of the melodramatic sor-
ceress. Or, again, take the instance of the
pretty young matron, who, while devoted to
home, husband and children, yet has sever
al intimate friends of the male persuasion.
But her influence is all for good. Her fas-
clnation is exerted in a worthy cause, and
she has found out a great truth-that there
is no friendship so lasting, SO true and SO
pleasant as one between persons of opposite
sexes, where true feeling of bonnie camar-
raderie exists and there is no pretense to
love making. Such woman. if she lives
long enough, bids fair to develop into a
snowy haired old lady on whose friendship
the children will RELY.

The Uses of Glucose.

Among the comparatively new industries
in this country is the manufacture of glu-
cose from corn. Glucose is popularity known
as an adulterant and substitute for sugar.
Few except those who use il in their manu-
factures have any idea what it is like. or
what valuable and wholesome product it
is. Commercial glucose is a colorless. sweet
ish liquid, varying i'll density from that of
table syrup to the consistency of Jelly. 1t
is made by treating corn with dilute acids.
through which the starch of the corn is
converted into kind of sugar; nearly the
same process, in fact, as occurs to all the
starch of our food in the stomach. OF it's
wholesomenesS when properly made, there
can be no more question than that of cane
sugar or corn starch, or of half the things
we eat. Its uses are innumerable. 1t is
the principal constituent of CONNER
cial jelly; brewers use it in A
solid form, then called grape sugar, for both
ales and beer; confectioners depend largely
upon it, not only for gum drops aud similar
candies, which are usually nearly pure glu-
cose, but for almost all the low-priced can
dies they SELL 1t is used by printers for
their rollers, by soapmakers, tobacco manu-
facturers, and new uses are found for il
every day. There are seven companies at
present engaged in its manufacture. Thew
run ten different houses, which have n
total capacity of $1,000 bushels of corn a
day, and use on the average $4,000 bushels
day throughout the year. Over 10000
600 bushels of cora are thus converted every
year, and the quantity is constantly in
creasing, remarkable growth since the
manufacture was first started, some twenty
years ago.

OUR WOMEN ABROAD.
American Maids and Matrons Rule
the Fashions in England.
Fronl the SaM Francisco Arqonaut.

From the San Francisco Argonaut
1t is curious that while in so many other
directions England is nothing 10th to imi-
tate America-in newspapers, illustrated
magazines, restaurants, hotels, buggies,
railway engines, theaters, yachts, agricul-
tural implements, steam laundrieS and
dozens of other things which at this mo-
ment l cannot call to mind-her people
will not initiate Americans, or, indeed,
the citizens of any other nation
under the sun. All Englishmen are
conservative in this. In the midst
of this personal individual conservatism
among men, it is worth noticing that there
is growing disposition on the part of En-
glish women to dress better than Of yore {:
and in doing SO they unconsciously are TAX
ing hints from American women, who,
even the most prejudiced among them must
admit, are the best dressed women in the
world. Ever since London society has been
graced by the presence in it every season of
SO many American ladies of prominence and
wealth the proverbial dowdiness in English
women's dress has been disappearing
Speaking of the Countess of Airlie, an
English lady of position said the other day:
''She dresses SO well-just like an American
woman
american ladies do know how to dress.
There can be no doubt about that
"Americans-ladies, | mean-always
dress so beautifully" Such expressions are
very common. or course, no one mentions
American men. There is no distinctly
beautiful style about their dress different
from anyone else. They dress like English
men, and that is all there is about it. The
Countess of Airlie, who is thus said to
dress 50 like an American lady, was, by
tbe-by, daughter of the Earl of Arran,
the ra Their aged nobleman who some time
ago was reported on the eve of marriage
with Mrs. Hlcks-Lord, but who has since
consoled himself for the loss of the hand of
that accomplished and fair American lady
by marrying the Hon. Mrs. Stopford, the
widow of one of Lord Courtown's sons aud
a lady-in-walting of Princess Helena, who
married Prince Christian, of Schleswig-
Holstein.
Any one who has noticed English
women's dress during the last quarter of a
century cannot fail to observe the altera-
tion which has taken place. Why, you can
see it in Punch. Compare the women of
John Leech with those of Du Maurier.
Where else can the change have come from
but America9 1t cannot be from France.
Paris fashions were as well known twenty
five years ago as now and were as much
followed by the world at large Why did
not English women follow Paris fashions
thens y, nc; the innovation has come from
America. The homage may be silent, the
imitation denied and the copying uncon-
scious. 1t is nevertheless tribute of the
''sincerest flattery" paid by English women
to Americans

THOSE DON'T CHILDREN.
Z New Breed Of Humanity, the Pro-
duct of Fashionable Society.

From the Neu York Sun.
We are witnessing the production Of a
new race of humanity, which Is at present
in its infancy. and will be best named as
''the Don't children" The Don't children
are the offspring Of the fashionable women
up town and on Columbia nights and the
hill IN Brooklyn. What kind of men and
women they will make time alone can tell,
but the result is well worth waiting for
and will De very interesting. There are few
if any adults now alive who spent such
childhood as these little things are going
through, but as there are now tens of thOus-
ands Of such little ones they will make
some sort OF distinct mark on the future
social and business life Of the town.
The Don't children are those little things
we see IN front of the brown stone houses
with the nurse girls in mob caps and
starched aprons. These little children are
very peculiarly dressed: always ultra-fash-
ionably. If they are little girls, barely
able to walk, they are dressed in long skirts
that reach to the pavements, and have on
either bonnets like old women or very great
sprawllngs hats. If they are boys they are
dressed equally within an inch OF their
lives, and IN either case they never stray
hye feet from their nurses. Their
little faces look prematurely old
and are often deeply lined because it is the
fashion to keep them up with their mothers
assisting at entertaining in the parlors eat
ing rich food at the regular family dinner,
and cake and ices at 10 or IL o'clock at
night They have their own tastes in wines
and cordials and drink with the grown
folks. They go to the theaters and discuss
the artists on the stage; indeed, they are all
made up" themselves as Elsie LeslieS or
Fauntleroys, or whatever the child heroes
of the stage may happen to be called.
They are called Don't children because
the word ''don'tn is like an iron band that
cramps their little lives When they try to
do anything that is childish, when their
spirits effervesce and their infantile nature
asserts itself in any way don't" is the
word that checks them. If they start to
run the nurse says don't; if they begin 10
romp she says don't; if they leap up and
down with glee the nurse says don't; If they
chatter at home, as little things will, the
mother says don't; SO she does if their
hands are soiled. if they smear their little
mouths with chocolate or get down on all
fours with the family kitten. Don't, don't,
don't is the chorus OF their seniors and the
obs acle to ali their natural inclinations.
They become as unnatural as warts, as
stilted and cramped and abnormal as the
trees the japanese stunt for centuries, or
the feet that Chinese women compress in
bandages. Their mothers rear them much
in the same spirit that they guard their
jewels. They are not to be free moment,
or to get out of sight, or to be left to the
expression of legitimate desire or trait of
childhood. 1t will be interesting to happen
up in the brownstone district twenty five
years from now, just to see what sort of
men and women these don't children will
become

Fnllauelpnla beeutltul Girls Turn
Their Toes in When on the Prone

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Don't ask me why three-fourths of Phil
adelphia's handsome women and pretty
girls turn their toes in when they walk
along the streets or promenade in the brill
iantly lighted ball rooms,n said a we'll
known Chestnut street shoe dealer as he
gazed after the retreating forms of two
rosy faced customers as they left his estab-
lishment and walked out Chestnut street
with the toes of their fashionable shoes
turned affectionately toward each other.
Its somethingsI can't understand" con
tinued the knight of Crispin as he meas
ured the graceful foot of a society beauty,
this strange mixing up of female feet.
Now, what looks more awkward than to see
one of our famed beauties waddling along
the street like duck out of water? 1t was
not intended that way. A handsome
woman is always a picture, but to turn her
toes in when she walks-On and the shoe
maker sighed like bellows.
1T is surprising how this habit has
grown. Seems to me nearly all the women
and girls you see-particularly well-dressed
young girls-walk toes in. There ought to
be law against it. Only pure bad habit.
that's all. You see the stylish will insist on
having shoes that nestle SO close to the foot
that there isn't room for a sheet of tissue
paper, and when the foot spreads as they
walk it seeks an unnatural position. know
of one case that is a grave lesson to all girls
who walk with their toes turned in. She
was an heiress and great beauty. She
met and loved and English noble who was
just dead stuck on her beautiful face and
sylph-like form. o, it was just the incest
match you ever saw
''But the meeting was on board ship, and
the English lord had never seen his fair
American fiancee walking on the broad
streets, and when he did his dream was
over. She wobbled along with the toes of
her beautiful feet turned toward each other,
and created such a curious sensation in the
mind of the young man that he decided to
marry none but girl who walked with
her heels toward each other and her toes
turned outward. Soon afterward he Joined
his fate to that of pretty typewriter,
whose walk was the poetry of motion.
This is a lesson to all the fair sex who
disregard the proper rules of locomotion.

women in the country, and she can't stand
the shadow which turning in toes casts over

One Who Wore the Gray.
From the Lafayette Co., MESSENGER


Dur ing the war gallant young South
Carolinian wanted to enter the confederate
service. His father thought he was too
young, but promised that when he was 16
he would let him go to the front. He kept
his word. The young lad after entering
the army, was assigned TO courier duty
between Charleston and Savannah
Being cut off by the federal gun
boats, he took to the malarious
swamps, where he slept one or two
nights. 1t brought on brain fever He was
sent TO the hospital at Columbia, and given
a cot in the third story. One night. about
II o'clock, his nurse left the room. Delirious
as he was, and craving water, he went, as he
thought, to the door and stepped out. In
stead of door, it was a window that he
had opened, and he fell to the ground.
When the nurse returned he was
missed, and, on search being
made, he was found on the
pavement below, insensible By the terri
bic fall his left leg and right collar bone
were broken, his left arm fractured in two
places, and his jaw dislocated. To escape
a coming raid of the yankees the wounded
young confederate was carried to the
country. Though the chances against him
were desperate, he slowly recovered.
Meanwhile soldier had gone home from
the hospital and informed his mother that
her son was dead, and that he had seen his
body carried out for burial.
AS soon as our hero could leave, he
started for that home. As he hobbled into
the yard, and his mothers eyes fell, as she
thought. upon the apparition of her son
she could not keep from screaming. But
tears of JOY were the expression of her hap
piness when she realized that he had been
spared to her.
The one of whom we speak, faithful to
duty in peace as in war, is we'll known t.
