BEGINNING ANEW.

Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new.
You who are weary Of sorrow and SHINING,
Here is a beautiful hope for you
y hope for me and a hope for you.
All the past things are past and over;
The tasks are done and the tears are shed,
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover;
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and
bied,
Are healed with the healing which night has
shed.
Yesterday now is a part Of forever,
Bound up in a sheaf, which God holds tight,
With glad days, and sad days, and bad Days,
which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom and
their blight,
Their ~fullness of sunshine or sorrowfuI
night.

A retired shoe dealer, whom mereenary
considerations no longer deter from Civ
ing advice as to proper care Of shoes, says:
A pair Of shoes made OF good leather will
last much longer if properly cared for than
when neglected. When shoes are only
BACKED the leather soon becomes hard and
dry. the best-it,ing pair will be uneom-
Portable and here and there little cracks
will appear which " i'll soon become chasms,
Every week or two the backing should be
wiped off with a damp cloth. the shoe
should be allowed to dry and then be rub
bed with the best harness oil. Every part,
including the sole seams, should be oiled
| aud the oil given a chance to soak in. The
toughest leather can be made soft in this
way and good leather wiil, after this tieat-
| ment, feel like kid. The shoe W III wear three
times as long and be much more comfort
able.

And, spite of old sorrow, and older SHINING,
And puzzles forecasted and possible pain,
TAKE heart with the day, and begin again.

4 clever woman says; Il clean and curl
all my ostrich feathers, and think that the
best milliner cannot do it much better. In
1 solution made Of good CASTLE soap and
soft water (boiled and beaten into foam)
tac feathers are washed, having some time
before soaked them in clear water After
that process | put them on clean table
and rub them carefully with fine linen
cloth or simply pas, them through my
hands a few times; then l lay them be-
tween two linen cloths, beat them gently
till they are dry, when pull them apart
and hold them over a bed of red hot coal
to curl. This must be done very carefully
and not too near the coal, as the downy
feathers are very easily singed. a bit of
sulphur thrown on the coal when white
feathers are to be cleaned insures a pure
white. This process seems bothersome,
but it is very simple and quickly done. -

glossy by the frequent dressing of the ma
live coiffeur, her dark eyes not so obliquely
set as artists paint them, faint the com
p!cXion slightly and make her skin appear
moro Opaque than that of a light haired,
blue eyed damsel Of Sweden. Her form is
plump, as nature intended it to be, not
being pressed into unhealthy shapes by
means used in more civilized lands. The
most that can be said against her form is
shat her limbs and fee arc short, shapeless
and clumsy.-Cor Chicago Inter Ocean.

man. despiso the word. | would rather
be called thief. A clover woman always
seems to me to be one who is plotting and
planning out for herself and fer herself
alone IF she is clever with her needle she
only uses if to make her own belongings
If she is clever with her pen, she writes
letters to less clever people to make them
feel what fools they are. If she is clever
with her brush you are expected to breathe
IN m atmosphere of paint and artists talk
whenever you come near her. If she is
clever about bringing up her children, she
is certain to make prigs or villains OF them,

Between the Clipper mills and Stuart

the trees are sawed of on level with the

Instead of that, the first lesson should be
how, under God they may take care Of

selves, and that, too, after having, through
the false notions OF their parents, wasted
the years in which they ought to have
learned how successfully to maintain them
selves 1t is inhuman and cruel for any

Now Work. WORKING Girls.

! Many columns have been written about
the working girls of New York They have
blcI: described at one time as the most op-
pressed people upon the face of the earth,
submitting to every condition Of hardship,
and again they have been described as the
Urdocp&id hirclings Of cruel capitalists,
and ell that sort of thing, The average
working girl in New York is very different
from these descriptions. She is a cheerful
sort Of being, who gets up early, works
late, looks healthy and complains very lit
tie. Sonetimes she seems a trihe gay, and
often she is lively. I recall just now one
Instance OF absolute cruelty on the part of
her employer, and that is in the case of a
rich dry goods firm which compelS her to
stand during all the hours OF the day, with
short respite at noon OF thirty minutes
for luncheon.
as an offset 10 this case I may think,
properly mention the rules of sn extensive
rctu! establishment up near Twenty third
street. The salaries of the saleswomen in
this place are very liberal indeed and while
all the girls are compelled TO be on time in
the morning there is no system Of fines. 4
mere rcpc.muud usually serves all the ends
desired. In summer every saleswoman is
allowed two weeks of vacation on full pay,
and during Inc dull season she may take
as many more without salary. But in no
case Is she compelled to do an amount OF
work that is calculated to injure her health
or to interfere with her enjoyment in the
evenings, except Oh SaturIays.-Cor. Baiti-
