A Usnfnl Lesson.

A lady of my acquaintance, who is a
most persistent as well as pretentious
shopper, although she buys very little, was
taught a useful lesson the other day After
she had teased the shopman of millinery
establishment beyond the limit of forbear-
ance. having everything imaginable pulled
down and spread out for her, only to be
criticized aud commented on and his word
disputed she at last, after two long hours,
purchased cent spool of cotton and
ordered it sent home to her Soon after
her arrival home, she was surprised and
her neighbors intensely interested by the
spectacle of a common dray drawn by four
horses, proceeding slowly up the street
and stopping at her door. On the dray,
with bare arms, were number of stalwart
iaborers. They were holding on vigorously
TO some object she could not see, 1t was
puzzling affair, both to herself and the
staring neighbors. After deal OF whip
cracking and other impressive ceremonies,
the cart was backed against the curb.
There, right end up in the centre of the
cart, calmly reposed the Identical spool of
cotton that she had purchased With the
sid of plank it was finally rolled, barrel
fashion, tc the pavement. After mortal
struggle, it was at last appended by the six
stalwart men on the purchasers doorstep
and the fact that she came out u little
later, in towering rage, and kicked it off
INTO the gutter, did not detract from the
effect of the lesson.

Tid.Bits for the Table.

a pretty lunch dish for this hot August
weather is made by simmering teaspoon
full of rice until tender in about pint and
half of milk, sweetened to taste. Press
into small cups while quite soft, and when
thoroughly cold, turn out into saucers,
strew fresh blackberries around them and
pour over sweetened cream. A good way
to treat blackberries, especially for the
sensitive stomachs of children and dyspep-
tics, is to get out of the berries the guam
titles of young wood they contain in the
shape of seeds, by running them through a
wire sieve or cheese-cloth. The pulp and
juices may then be stewed, or eaten fresh
To make blackberry wine, take one quart
of cold water to three quarts of juice and
three pounds of white sugar. Put these
into jug, and leave out the cork, putting
over the top piece of lace. Set it in the
cellar, shake occasionally, and next spring
draw off carefully into bottles, which must
be carefully corEed The longer it is kept,
the better it will be.
To make blackberry cordial for medi-
cinial purposes, express the Juice from the
berries, and to every pint of it add three
quarters of pound of white sugar. To
every two quarts of this juice add a quarter
of an ounce each of mace, allspice, CHINA
ulOH anu ClONtS, oil Slightly DfulSeu. Dull
these ingredients to a rich, heavy syrup,
and when quite cold, add an equal quantity
of good French brandy. Bottle and cork
tightly.
To make elderberry wine, boil five gal
Ions of ripe elderberries in ten quarts of
water, for about quarter of an hour; then
drain through sieve, not pressing the
berries. Measure the liquor, and to every
gallon add three and a half pounds of
brown sugar, the peel of five or six lemons,
and let it boil twenty minutes. When
scalding hot, add the whites of six eggs.
well beaten, little cayenne, the juice of
one lemon, half teaspoonful of dry mustard,
two tablespoonful of vinegar, stirring the
liquor well. Fill the cask full. When the
whole is sufficiently cool, put over the
bung-hole a piece of toasted bread spread
with yeast. When clear and ready to be
bunged up, hang in the cask half pound
of bruised ginger tied in cloth In two
months it will be fit to bottle.
Cut from piece of leg of veal some
slices quarter of an inch thick, and cut
them pear-shape to the size of outlets.
Sprinkle them both sides with pepper and
salt, and lay them in well-buttered fiat
tin. Put buttered sheet of paper on top
of them, and bake quickly in tin oven, just
long enough to thoroughly cook the outlets,
Dispose them on dish in circle around
of tomatoes, and serve hot.

AS to Marriage.

Says one, who ought to know 81 agree
II a way, with the match making mammas.
Marriage, even as a failure, is more to be
desired than single biessedness as a sue
cess. It is always negative success-the
being single. It's woes, its worries, its
troubles, its griefs are intensified because
they are borne alone; and 1 can tell you
there is a great deal of truth in a re
mark made by young matron, that she
would rather have Jack, even when drunk
TO cry out her woes to, than to have to take
them out on a maid with hair brush. To
20 sure, Jack ''in his cups" may not be a
thing of beauty or of grace, but he is her
own Jack cross may be hard to persuade
into amiability; but when you are cross he
undertakes the same task. Jack happy
makes sunshine for you; and nine times
out of ten, Jack being drunk, Jack being
cross, or Jack being happy depends on
yourself. You see I am a little inclined to
take the mans side-because know so
many women. am an ardent advocate of
marriage, good, bad or Indifferent, and l
believe that the making of it good, bad or
Indifferent is largely in the hand that wears
the wedding ring
DO you remember, my dear matron, what
your feelings were Immediately after you
mad spoken the first unkind word to your
husband! Did you not feel ashamed and
Zrieved, and vet too proud to admit it.
Just that was, is and ever will be, your
evil genius! 1t is the temper which labors
necessarily to destroy your peace, which
cheats you with an evil delusion that your
husband deserved your anger, when he
really most required your love. If your
husband is hasty and hot tempered, so
much the more need of an example of
patience and forbearance on your part, to
chide as well as teach him. Your violence
may ALLEVIATE his heart, and your neglect
jmpel him to desperation. Besides, it is
the worst possible policy in the way of gain
iug your point, for one smile will do more
towards winning him over to your way of
thinking than twenty frowns. Never
mind suffrage and all that sort of thing.
Let the man of the country manage its
laws and attend to the treasury and elect
It's officers-but let the women see to it.
and especially the wives, that the men are
50 we'll and wisely governed that they
never suspect the leading string.

A Woman's Eyes.

A woman's eyes, those tell-tale windows
OF the soul, are the best of all indexes to
her character She may govern her words
and train the expression of her face, but
by the agency of the eye she can never
palm off impudent boldness for courage, or
tricky stimulation for modesty. To the
base woman hereyes are her worst enemies,
AS to the pure woman they are her best
friends. A pretty face is far from being
the best gift for u girl; and though female
beauty is not to be undervalued, it is very
often overvalued. A well known employer
who has about two thousand girls in his
store and work rooms was asked whether
4 pretty girl could sell more goods than an
ordinary looking one. After some hesita-
.ion, he answered doubtfully: Eyes, if she
las other qualifications besides" Beauty
alone, he said, will never lure money from
q careful customer; and when a girl is too
conscious of her good looks, and depends
upon it for her power to please, it is sure
20 become a hindrance. The intelligent
mind, the winning manner, the earnest
purpose are the "other qualifications
which give success.

Are you not reioiced that the days of
paper shades-green, gray, brown and blue
are done forever! From paper we "evol-
uted" to buff holland NOW sacred to kit
chens) then to the dazzling white roller
blind, which still occasionally puts ones
eyes out by its high light in glaring Moons
In the larger cities, the next flight of fancy
was daring one, and red parlor blinds
shOne down every aristocratic avenue
only for a brief season, when the were
relegated to quarters impossible to polite
acquaintance The very best and most
artistic style is just now in vogue-that of
soft, natural holland, embroidered in byzan-
tine colOrs on the lower border, producing
subdued lights and giving an effect of sober
elegance. The striped linen blinds of this
summer reflect foreign tastes and are very
pretty, especially for country houses, in
tho leaf-green and fax stripe, or in the
cool blue and white, or red and mixed with
white-the colored stripes giving a sub
dued loneliness to the long, dim, summer
sitting rooms.
Instead of hemming the sides of these
shades, a narrow silk binding should be
stitched on and pressed very fiat, which
adds finish and runs better on the roller
Plain hens on the lower edge are prefer
red to fringe. Those heavy linen blinds
are not supposed to need washing or re-
newins for eight or ten years. Practically,
with the attentive care due good furnish
ings, they never need renewing. In Eng
fish country houses suites of furniture
300 years old are shown in good keeping
But perhaps when we Americans can com
mand things as staunch and solid, we will
be able to preserve them from generation
to generation. At any rate, soiled cur
tains, broken chairs and shabby furniture
are powerful witnesses against the good
breeding of family. We may not be able
to have elegant things, but we should at
least keep fresh and neat those that we
have. Don't crowd your rooms with
knick- kHacks until they look like curio
stores and pawn-shops; and don't over do
the drapery business in the way of unnece1=
sary hangings and porticos. They cat
dust and vermin get moth eaten and scat
ter the new generations of insects to the
ruination of your carpets and rugs, and
they impede the circulation of air.

To Improve the Complexion.

One of the best methods of improving
the complexion is not by clogging the pores
with oils and powders and cosmetics, but
to keep the pores well open by theiudicious
use of soap and water. Have rain water,
well warmed, and with white CASTLE soap
make good suds with which wash the face
thoroughly Just before retiring. After the
washing, rinse in clear warm water and
dry with soft towel In the morning,
wash in clean water emitting the soap. If
necessary to go out at once, it is best not to
used warm water, but cold, as the sudden
change will be likely to roughen the face.
A few drops of ammonia in hard water will
make it soft, and assist in cleansing the
skin; but be careful not to use too much,
or it will render the skin dry and harsh.
Borax is better, and is a healer as well as
cleanser A quarter of a teaspoonful to
basin of water is about the proper quantity
of course, using the powdered borax. A
few drops of spirits of camphor put into the
water once week is good to whiten the
skin. And occasionally Tablespoonful
of cider vinegar put in instead will give
tone and softness to the skin.

For Old Ladies.

A pleasant work for old ladies and invalid
children is found in the making of what are
called ''baby's balls" At the end Of the
lswn-tennis season, the balls that have seen
good service become battered and soft and
are discarded as no longer useful. In New
York, an energetic caterer for bazaars has
collected hundreds of these, covered them
with bright worsteds, and sells them for
Is cents each for babies to roll about. For
church fairs, you will find that a tray-fnll
red, green, orange, pink and blue balls
piled one above another, labelled ''baby's
balls''-will go off like hot cakes. The
making Of them is easy and pleasant. Hold

A German Birthday Gift.

In German families favorite birthday
gilt is what is known as a wonder bal, u
and is made by winding skein of yarn or
worsted into ball and hiding little gifts
here and there within it. Select yarn that
you know will be useful; take the pretti-
est present for the foundation, and wind
until it is covered. Then put in another,
cover that and so on, until all the gifts are
hidden. OF course, they cannot be found
until the yarn is knit off, hence these balls
are sometimes said to be for lazy people.
Certainly the stocking or mitten grows
much faster when every little while a
pretty present drops out. Such ball
Usually affords amusement for the whole
family, especially if the gifts are from diff
ferent individuals and no one has seen any
except his own.

string at each end, and fasten well. Then,
with needle-full of worsted, work round

There are some persons, who when
called upon by reporter in regard TO
q subject with the facts of which they
are perfectly familiar, not only refuse
10 give the facts, but frequently insult
the one that calls upon them. This
Is notably the case with the employees
of some Of our corporations, and yet
these men or their employers are the
first to complain if the facts of an acct
dent or any other occurrence in which
they are interested are mistated in
print. As general rule reporters are
gentlemen, and deserve TO be treated as
such, but if when they are in quest Of
news persons decline to give them the
facts, they should not complain If they
obtain them from other sources which
may prove TO be incorrect. AS gen
eral rule reporters will, if requested,
suppress names, where it does not in
terfere with justice, and frequently
suppress items which, il published
would cause genuine sensations.

good and kind man. He gave all our

His liberality could not be excelle1. His
soldiers blessed our black men for their
kindness In coming so far to show them
tine way. Many OF them were ready to
follow me out Of the country, but sAked
them to stay quiet few months that
