English Styles.

without being in danger at all of be-
coming an "Anglon aniac' one may
find much TO admire in English ways aud
customs. Some OF the housefurnlshing
ideas, for instance, are both good and
pretty aud differ IN various points from
our corresponding ones. They advocate
nothing in bedroom draperies that will
not wash, on sanitary grounds, so
cretnnnes OF all kinds. chiutZ and muslin
are the choice for health. White muslin
is the almost universal curtain used next
the window, either arranged as a sash or
long curtains under something heavier.
Frills are an Indispensable adjunct and
certainly very pretty one. Nothing can
give window a daintier or more dressed
look than muslin curtains with frills, yet
we seldom see them here. that is, the
frills, mean, or ruffles, as We more
commonly put it. II curtain of this
kind is to be put close TO the sash small
rod is sometimes put at top and bottom
of the window; the curtain with ruffies
meeting III the center ut the top is slipped
on these rods and pushed back each side
ut the bottom as far as Que fancies.

tracks, cost many hundred dollars and could be
afforded by only few. Time when gold

out of the range OF possibilities Of nearly all
men. The decrease in the cost of manufacture
of movements and the invention of three sheet
cases-a steel sheet between two sheets of gold
NOW brings both these within the means OF
many, and almost to the price which is charged
by swindlers for the gold washed limitations
and brass counterfeits of common watches. The

Marrying Princes.
Paris Edition of the Herald.

An American writer maintains that
American girls marry princes because
their hands are turned by the early
reading of monarchial fairy tales, in
which princes frequently marry peasant
girls Are we also TO believe that
American girls marry divorced men and
widowrrS because they have read blue
Beard or thar they want TO marry
beasts after reading ''Beauty and the
Beast, or that they dislike tall men
because the giants nf fairy tales are as
rule vicious? There Is no mystery in
volved in the occasional marriage OF an
American girl to a prince. The mar
ringe takes place berause the girl wants
to marry the prince aud the prince wants
to marry the girl. Strange as 1t may
seem, the fact that man happens to
be- u prince does not necessarily make
him intellectually, morally or physically
inferior to prosperous pork picker;
aud when an American girl Dnrries
prince It is not absolutely certain that
she has thrown herself away. There
are several American princesses who
actually seem happy aud contented with
their lot in life.

Mother. the Rest Doctors.

Drs. Abernethy. Rush, Hosack and
Harvey were great doctors, but the
greatest doctor the world ever saw was a
Christian mother. Dear mel Do we not
remember her about the room when we
were sick in our boyhood? Was there
anyone who could so touch sore
without hurting it? And when
she gifted her spectacles against her
wrinkled forehead, so she could look
closer at the wound, it was three fourths
healed. And when the Lord took her
home, although you may have been men
and women, thirty, forty or fifty years
of age, you lay on the coffin lid and
sobbed as though you were five or ten
years old. II is fortunate that God does
not ask US when to let the old folks go,
for We would keep them too long from
their needed rest Talmage.

The fairest of the fairies, she.
The daintie5t OF doves,
The pref est OF pictures,
The loveliest OF loves;
Her face il like an angels,
Each Rand is like q pearl
Most beautiful of creatures Is
The pretty tennis girl.
Her voice is like the SIRENS song,
Her words my heart entrance,
Her laughing eyes are full of love,
And charm with every glance;
Her dainty feet in shoes of tan
Ny brain put in whirl:
lows her for her loveliness--
The pretty tennis girl.
The golden tresses like frame
Surround her charming face,
And half conceal and half reveal
The neck of wondrous grace;
bless the lucky breeze that plays
About each truant cur.
And though she doesn't care for me
love the tennis girl.

The face Of this watch is precisely the same as
that of the gold watch and the movement is pre-
cisely the same. The difference between the
two watches is only in the case. The latter is
OF oxidized silver. acid eaten, very neat and

The movement ST these watches is Identical, It
Is the quick train, with straight line lever es-
capemenl, with a direct acting hand set that
permits accurate setting, and will not allow thu
hands to move out Of position while setting. In
the sweep second movement the
the second hand is direct from the move
ment train, insuripg perfect motion, while the
dial train and hands are run by friction piniou
from a sids center. This gives all the advant-

ANOvel Idea. :

As trade in general seems to have departed
from it's legitimate channels, J. Durant, the
Church street jeweler, as usual is up to the
times and Is just organizing an association on
an entirely new and original principle. The
association will consist of 10 members, each
of whom will pay one dollar the first week.
Then drawing takes place and the person
securing the lucky number receives an ele-
CANT gold-flled genteman's watch with fine
Waltham or Elgin movement, or q slady's
solid gold watch with similar movement, for
the dollar he has paid, and gets an honorable
discharge from the association, which has no
further claim on him. The second week the
60 remaining members pay in a dollar each
and the fortunate individual at the succeed
ing drawing gets his watch for the two dol
lars he has paid.
Then the system is carried on for thirty
five weeks and the last week the thirty.fve
members who are still in tho association will
| receive their watches, so that none can be
dissatisfied, for every watch is warranted to
be full value for $35. This system has none

A Yacht with Two masss.

Yschtsmen received surprise yesterday

auce of q wonderfully staunch craft, and is
probably the ablest yacht ever owned here
abouts.
She has trim rig. All her sails are small,
and forward she has four jibs. Tho yacht
belongs to that class which combines the
most comfort for money expended. She
carries two boats and davits high enough up

James Il. Parish, IL has been reported,
