In his charge to the grand jury at Paris
Hill Judge Foster spoke at some length re-
regarding perjury, defining it and speak
ing of the serious nature Of it as an offence.
and closed by saying, 1T is growing evil
in this State, and one that must be eradi-
Gated" We hope some of the perjurers in
Audroscoggin county will fal into Judge
Fosters hands one of these days.
TIE MURpERoU> SPIRIT OF THE RtMSELLER.
Maine Farmer
In Augusta, during the reform move
ment of few years ago, when the wave
of an enlightened public sentiment seemed
to cu4U.f The rum shops, an attempt was
made To fire the house of Mr.. T. c. Rogers,
now pastor of the Union Street Methodist
church ip Bangor. Mr.. Rogers was presi-
dent of the Augusta Reform Club, and one
evening there was thrown into his sitting
room, bottle of explosives. Happily the
object aimed at was not accomplished.
Rev. Mr.. Haddock of another state, whose
son is now the pastor of the Methodist
church in Brunswick was murdered by
rumselers because he was conspicuous in
his advocacy of the temperance cause.

Machias Republican,
After a case in court here last week a
young man right from the witness stand
remarked, as he entered Clares Hotel
office, Il have just told the damnedest lie
ever told in my life" In commenting up
on this statement parties have made the
remark that it would be interesting to
know how many cases are decided upon
such testimony.

Verify "all things come round to him
that waits" and to her rs well, as in the
case Of Mrs. Myra Bradwell, who twenty
one years ago applied to the supreme
court of Illinois for admission to the bar
as attorney at law. She presented proofs
of requisite study and proficiency and
certificates of recommendation, and the
Justices of the supreme court refused the
application. But the world moves on,
and about "a month ago the lady received
the distinguished compliment OF having
the justices reverse their former decision
upon the original brief, now twenty-one
years old, and, without application or
solicitation ON her part, direct a license
rs attorney and counselor to be issued to
Mrs. Myra Bradwell.
In the interim the lady has busted her

for the admission of women to the Hi.

An entirely new style of hair dressing
is threatened. In Paris the frizzy bang
has meekly subsidized to give the Javon-
aise headdresses a chance. Fashion ap-
pears to have gone daft on those peculiar
ornaments, and the great jewellers of the
Rue de Ia Paix have been ordered to re-
set the diamonds of more than one grand
dame after the pattern of those fiat metal
ornaments. At the opera a few weeks
ago a dazzling light in Partisan society
appeared with her hair dressed perfectly
flat to her head, on one side, right above
the ear, an ornament as large and as fiat
as an individual butter plate, composed
of diamonds and pearls, and medallions
as large as m English penny, of the same
gems, going round to the other ear, across
the forehead just at the line of the hair.
How those jewels were kept in place was
a secret known only to madame's coiffeur
and jeweler, but it was "~Javonaise, +" and,
therefore, a beautiful and distinguished
innovation OF the diamond star and but

the results of the Paris exhibition, where
the fashions of Java dancers were first
introduced to western imitators .-Boston

exception of the Hon. Rufus Choate Cpae

and listen to 1 have ever beer acquainted
with, wa substantially dumb in the
society of He either did not
not know how to talk to them, or he
could not, and he could scarcely look in
the face of one without blushing. He
could not look them fairly in the eyes, in
fact, nor could he men either, for that
matter. There seemed to be an unac-
countable timidity and shrinking about
him, as there was even about Choate
himself, great man as he was.
Mr.. Cushing once, at an evening party
in Ne~wburyport, attempting to make
himself agreeable, it is to be presumed,
said to a pretty, bright eyed girl of II or
10 summers, and quite distinguished for
her beauty and accomplishments in the
circle of her young admirers: .'Pray,
Miss -, can you tell me how love be-
ginsY' And she instantly replied with a
merry twinkle and a smile: with L,

tinguished scholar and statesman, and
getting the laugh of the bystanders upon

Since gold bead necklaces have again
come into style dealers have been placed
frequently in a very delicate position
when some lady has come in to complain
that the necklace sold her was OF inferior
quality, rs it crooked or blackened on
her neck. Recent investigation and the
experience of prominent storekeepers has
disclosed the fac that this is due entire
ly to the contact of the beads with q
neck upon which face powder has beer
used. The smallest amount of powder,
If the necklace be continually worn, is
sufficient 10 cause this. To prove this
let some jeweler make n jewel of purest
gold, and write with it on a skin over
which powder or fine dust has been
strewn, and the result will be a distinct
mark. 1t is n delicate thing to tell a
lady that her fair neck is powdered, but
the jeweler must either do this or admit
the inferiority of his goods.-Exchange.

The craze of the day as regards head
gear is for bonnets of a diminutiye de
scription. SO far the preference has been
given TO violets. Sometimes it is a scrap
ing lace with a bunch Of purple yiolets
on one side, sometimes n wreath of vio-
lets with no crown at all, but most fire.
quently the whole rown, made fiat to
the head, is covered with Parma %violets,
while IA bow OF ribbon matching in hue
is placed erect at the back of the bonnet.
SO universally worn is this flower that a
little niece of mine amused herself one
Sunday at church parade in Rotten Row
by counting the violet bonnets she
passed, and in ten minutes she had ar
rived at seventy. AS a result violets
threaten in a few weeks to be nal
portees. and | was told the other day by
Lady Granville Gordon. who trades
under the name Of Mime. Lierre, that
several of her most elegant customers
had already declined to be seen wearing
the prevailing blossom. Its place will
be taken by other spring flowers, espe-
cially lilAcs, hyacinths and cowslips.-

Keen warm Even i'm june.

nNNP Vain ALNtH 10 S.-
If you are chilly these changeful spring
days put on a silk undervest and chemise
of white India silk with silk knicker-
bockers and stockings. Thus cased you
are proof against sudden chills. If your
circulation is poor make your sleeves
CONF over the wrist, as fashion FORUM
ately allows, with trimming of fur,
swansdown or feathers. English women
are sensible. They keep fur jackets out
TO wear the middle of June when a sea
turn comes, furs never feeling so good
as then, when fires are out. Do not be
above carrying one of the little Japanese
handwarmers, its lighted carbon smol-
dering in a tin case with cloth covering.
The whole thing with fuel only costs
twenty-five cents and can be carried in
the pocket like a portemonnaie. 1t is an
advantage to persons with weak chests to
carry the case in the bosom raw days.
The warmth is so mild and constant that
it keeps the clothing dry from prespira-
ton without overhcating. TIN differ
ence in color this invention makes with
some cadaverous women is remarkable
and 1t has beneficial effect in case of
heart disease. which is greatly aggra-
waited by cold air, food or drinks.-Shir-
ley Dare.

Several gentlemen from the north have
been in fredericksburg with the view OF
purchasing saddle horses. One day last
week one of them took a notion to try
one of several horses in the stables of the
gentlemes who had them for sale; but
as he was not familiar with either the
horse or mode of saddling and bridling
him, vas about to forego the pleasure of
a horseback ride when one of our local
beauties came to the rescue, and in n
moment showed the northerner what a
rue southern girl was capable of doing.
Entering the stall she removed the hal
ter, adjusted the bride, led the animal
out of the stable, and, throwing the sad
die on his back, buckled the girth and
ordered the blushing northerner to
mount while she held the stirrup for
him. He WIS stunned, but enjoyed the
ride immensely, doubtless surprised that
"A woman so fair could be so handy

1t is very smart these days to he exceed
ingly simple in street dress. The swag-
ger girl makes herself as smooth and
plain and snug as possible. There must
be no flying ribbons, no jingling chAte-
LANES, no rafting bangles. The sever
linen collar and cuffs have again ap-
peared, and the swell young Is
going about again with her chin in the
air looking for all the world like a tight
ly curbed horse. She must be simple,
too, in her diet. So runs fashions man
date. Therefore she goes in for brown
bread and drinks vichy. A drink which
many pretty women are imbibing in the
secrecy of their chambers along with
their dearest" is the fascinating, insidi-

Now that spring is with us, l wish
that more young girls-up to the age of
20, at least-would gown themselves in
pure, soft white, with collars rolled back
a trife, revealing warm, round throats
tinted like rose leaves. Young girls are
like flowers; and instead of rustling with
silks, and jingling and flashing with
jewelry, they should wear only simple
gowns-gowns soft as their eyes, pure as
their consciences, and white as their
souls. The man does not live who could
look at such n maiden and not be the
better because OF the reverent thought

The proceedings Mt the election OF
president of the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs in this city Indicate that
the world is not yet 10 be deprived of the
charming illogic of woman.
There has been some fear pcrvading
masculine bosoms that Sorosis and other
clubs and participation in the active
affairs Of life would harden lovely wo-
men into ~unlovely mannishness. But
this is not to be the case, and the election
proved it.
When Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown,
the successful nominee, was named, the
principal argument in her favor was
made by Mrs, Thomas, who said: ''She
has n husband who sympathizes very
much with her work for wOmau's uplift-
ing" Now this is a rcason for choosing
n president, We venture to say, that
would never have suggested itself to a
male mind.
Mrs. Ella Dietz Clymer was urged on
the ground not that she presides efficient
ly or ably, but in a beautiful and gra
cious manner" There is a great hope
for the human race in this recognition of
the supremacy of beauty and grace.
Mrs. Kenney, who uttered it, warns our
hearts towards the women's clubs. Mrs.
Sewall objected to be president because
h was too young, and Mrs. Croly be
cause she was not tall enough.-New
