QUITE HARMONIOUS The Tn)msex.
presses the following congratulatory
opinion on the Protective Tariff bill
80 In its present shape this measure eX-
presses degree of unity agreement on
and inaexable application Of
those principles, which cannot often be
found in bills of similar nature. Indeed
it is many years since there has been as
complete accord in either party on any
tariff bill in either house, for while Repub-
licans have been able 10 support some
other bills without division on the final
vote, they have been far less harmonious
in action upon various amendments. As
a consequence, this measure has come TO
be more consistent embodiment of pro-
tective principles than any other that
has been passed for many years.

What to Teach Our Bows.

Not to tease girls or boys smaller than
themselves.
When their play is over for the day, to
wash their face and hands, brush their
hair and spend the evening in the house.
Not to take the easiest chair in the
room and put it directly in front of the fire,
and forget to offer it to your mother when
she comes to sit down.
To treat their mother as politely as if
she were a strange lady who did not spend
,, her life in their service
To be as kind and helpful to their sisters
as to other boys sisters.
Not to grumble or refuse, when asked to
do some errand which must be done, and
which otherwise takes the time of some
one or other who has more to do than
themselves.
To take pride in having their mothers
and sisters for their best friends.
To try to find some amusement for the
evening that all the family can join in,
large and small.
To take pride in being gentleman at
home.
To cultivate cheerful temper.
To learn to sew on their own buttons.
If they do anything wrong, to take their
mothers into their confidence, and, above
all, never to lie about anything they have
done.-St. Louis Obserrer.

WISE WORDS ABOUT WOMEN.

Without hearts there is no home
Byron.
How much the wife is dearer than the
bride.-Lyttleton.
We can have many wives, but only one
mother.-Abd-e.-Kader.
Be ever gentle with the children God
has given you.-Elihu BuriH.
1t destroys ones nerves to be amiable
every day to the same human being.-Bea-
consfeld.
A wise man in his house should find a
wife gentle and courteous, or no wife at all.
-EWipides.
Women must have their wills while
they live, because they make none when
they die.-Douglas Jerrotd.
Nothing fatters man so much as the
happiness of his wife he is always proud
of himself as the source of it.-Johnson.
A curtain lecture is worth all the SER
mons in the world for teaching the virtue
of patience and long suffering Washing
ton Irring.
Dent be afraid of wild boys and girls !;
they often grow up to be the very best men
and women. Wildness is not viciousness.
-Herbert Spencer.
In family government let this always be
remembered, that no reproof or denuncia-
tion is so potent as the silent influence of
good example.-Hosea BalJou
The early months of marriage often are
times of critical tumult-whether that of
shrimp pool or of deep waters-which
afterward subsidies into cheerful peace
George Eliot.
Husband and wife-so much in common
how different in type! She all golden
hues and softness, he all dark shades and
energy; her step so light and childlike,
his SO manly and steady. Such a contrast,
and yet such harmony strength and
weakness blended together !-Ru6ini.

CHILDISH POETRY.

By and by the wagon came to cleared
place in the forest covered with young
grass full of wild flowers. Six-year-old
Katy on the front seat grasped the reins,
crying, "Oh, lady, stop, stop, until we
gaily about, but Katy sat quietly, her face
pale with emotion, drinking in the beauty
of the scene. Looking timidly up in her
friends face she said musingly, "Flowers
on the earth are just like stars in the sky,
amt they, lady?"
Yes, dear. Do the stars look to you
like fowers?"
"Oh, yes; stars are Gods flowers. He
lives in Heaven, over the sky, but he put
grass and flowers all over the ground to
hide the bad place"
"Who told you that, Katy?"
Nobody did; dreamt about it."
NATURES TRIBUTE.
"Jump out, now, child and gather some
flowers" The girl ran among the stumps,
but presently assembled her brothers and
seemed to hold mysterious conference.
Each began at once gathering flowers for
Katy until her frock skirt was filled.
When seated again the lady asked, "Who
will you give the flowers to, Katy, to
me ?"
The little head shook, without speaking.

ssCoal Oil Johnny" of oil bonanza fame,
has turned up again, this timein Nebraska
as the owner of 100000 ranch. Within
the past year he has been located in hall

HINTS FOR THE LADIES.

Stockings must match the dress or else

The Directoire redingote is feature of
many stylish morning toilets.
The Spanish founce is very much re-

Silk or satin petticoats will be de riguer
with gossamer gowns this season.
There will be no abatement in the de-
mand for really handsome lace dresses this
year.
Lace that is to be put upon a washing
fabric should always be shrunk before it is
used.
The fat collar of our mothers and grand
mothers is now an accomplished fashion
able fact.
Natural colored pongees will be styl-
ishly trimmed with white lace or embroid-
cry laid on fiat.
Many of the new parasols have covers of
lace or net, or thin gauze embroidered in
Persian patterns.
A wide sash Of rich texture and gay
color gives the cachet of style to the sim
plest black costume.
India cashmere, combined with velvet
or moire, is the stuff chosen for many of
the most stylish spring suits.
A favorite lace hat will be of black
dotted net, with border of fine black Chan
tilly shirred upon silver wire.
Trains threaten to reappear upon the
street. Paris already puts them upon all
house and ceremonious toilets.
The wash silk, now so much used for
underwear of both big and little people,
is full yard wide, and sells for 81 yard

The new camels hair, with borders ol

A pretty fancy for front trimming is a
scarf formed of two lengths of wide Chan
tiliy, reaching from the foot to the throat
where it is shirred into turn-down collar
and caught in at the belt with either a
silver clasp or band of mohair ribbon.
Very large flower brocades will be used
for rich evening dresses, with either very
light or very dark grounds. There are

worn with plain corded silk as foil to
more effectively set off the design.
Russet-red shades will be fashionable
for the seaside. Some of these costumes

The ways of auctioneers in different
parts of the world vary greatly. In this
country and England the seller bears the
expense of the sale, but in France the pur-
chaser bears the cost, five per cent. being
added to his purchase. In Holland it is
still worse, the buyer being required to
pay ten per cent. additional for the ex-
penses of the sale.
