In Germany they have Q pretty fashion when the stork comes down the chimney and brings girl baby to make the house glad, to begin on her first birthday to form her trousseau. Her godmother gives the blg, handsomely carved matching chest, and in this goes gracefully the bed linen, the papery and the silver that, as an industrious fralein, she is to carry to her new home, says the Ladies Home Journal. The American mother is beginning to see the value of this custom, and the matching chest now makes it's appearance and is carefully filled. Grandmamma, wisely enough, begins set of tablespoons, and when the little girl is 12 years q she will have full dozen of them, each bearing her initials. From an adoring aunt will have come the teaspoons, from an uncle the forks, and from mamma the handsome napery. Now these things cost a lot o1 money, but as they are given so gradually on birthdays, not one feels that they are any great expense.

DRINK WILL NOT DO 1T.
Earth Has No Sorrow That Whisky Ever
Healed.

Healed.
From the Niagara Falls Review.
Attempts to drown the sense ofmisfor-
tune in strong drink are the climax of
human folly. INVESTIGATION eventually
aggravates and intensifes every evil
which it is invoked to alleviate. 1t
has been thus from the day when man
steal away his brains" and thus it will
be to the end of time. No sane and
sober man denies the fact. Even the
habitual drunkard in the brief intervals
of reason, shudderingly admits it. Yet
thousands of intellectual beings, many
of them richly endowed with mental
gifts, seek consolation from the bottle
in the hour of aff1iction, though revela-
ton and instinct alike teach them that,
of all the broken reeds upon which
weakness ever leaned, the false excite
ment caused by liquor is the most
treacherous. 1t is passing strange
and one of the anomalies to which
philosophy furnishes no clue, and
for which we, can only account
by supposing that power indie
pendent of themselves, against
whose influence mere reason is no sure
protection, betrays into rum.
There are only two genuine salves for
sorrow-prayer and work. Trust God
and keep doing, are the best recipe for
every human care. There are no
wounds of the spirit which it will not
heal. Strength, fortitude, patience,
resignation, are as sure to be vOuch-
safed to the unfortunates who earnestly
pray for them, and at the same time are
diligent in the performance of their tenn
poral tasks, as the harvest is to follow
the planting of the seed. Duty is
balsamic. Peace is the child of wor-

GODS MUSIC.
BY F. E. WEATHERLY.

BY +. E. WEATHERLY.
Water. and air, and sod,
A music Of divers meaning
Has flowed from the hand of God,
In valley, and gorge and upland,
On stormy mountain height,
He makes Him harp of the forest,
He sweeps the chords with might,
He puts forth His hand to the ocean,
He speaks and the waters flow,-
Now in a chorus of thunder,
Now in q cadence low,
He touches the waving flower bells,
He plays on the woodland streams
A tender song-like a mother
Sings to her child in dreams.
But the music divinest and dearest,
Since ever the years began,
Is the manifold passionate music
He draws from the heart of man.

SUBURBAN PROPERTY BOOMING.

A Splendid Opportunity for an Investment.
Much has been done and said of suburban
property of late, and at the present time the
fever was never higher. Visitors to the National
Capital are much impressed with the beautiful
villages springing up near our picturesque city,
and our many enterprising real estate dealers
are to be credited, to q certain extent, with the
rapid growth, as they have been and are offering
many inducements to people to buy suburban
homes. No suburban village has grown in popu-
lar favor more rapidly of late than Charlton
Heights, and adjoining this is East Charlton
Heights, whose lots are now being placed on
the market at very low figures and on exceed
ingly easy terms. This model place for home
is situated on the hills along the main line of
the Baltimore and Ohio, only nine miles from
Washington, being short ride or beautiful
drive on the Baltimore pike. Eighteen trains

The PeriIs of Shaving.
From the London Truth.


''The Lancet" has added another terror to eX-
istence. According to my indefatigable con-
temporary, the frequency with which the con-
tagion of parasitic sycosis has been traced to its
source in barber's shop has become almost
characteristic of the disease. In other words,
there is not death, perhaps, but certainly the
risk of tubercular eruption in the shaving pot,
and it seems that any modern Figaro who for
the shaving of his customers uses unclean
brushes or a common soap supply, not improb-
ably assists in the transference of the infectious
germs. In the face of such an alarming an
nouncement this, it is surely not too much
for "The Lancet to ask the barber of the
period to use for each client separate portion
of soap-cream, and to immerse the shaving
brush in boiling water which has been purified
by some simple antiseptic. But even then it
would appear that the barbers razor is not
above suspicion, seeing that cut from it may
occasion the transference of even more serious
diseases than parasitic sycoss. Under these
circumstances it will really not be surprising If
there should be marked recrudescence in the
growing and wearing of boards.

officer Coghill, of the Sixth Precinct, had an
exciting time last night with a thief who had
stolen hats from the store of the Messrs. Diet
erick, on Seventh street. The man grabbed
several hats and was making off when he was
discovered by the proprietor, who gave chase.
1t was about O'clock and Seventh street was
crowded. The shoppers and pedestrians took
up the cry of "stop thief" and joined in the
chase.
Officer Coghill was attracted by the noise and,
fleeing man. At the corner of Sixth and 1
streets the thief drew pistol and deliberately
turned and fired at the officer. His aim was
bad fortunately, and before he could fire again,
the officer pounced on him and quickly dis
armed him. He was carried to the Sixth Pre-
cinct, where he gave his name as William
Jones' The wonder is that with so many peo-
pie about some one was not hit by the pistol
ball. Jones is an old offender and had already
served three terms.
