There are three orsgffftszittle mortals

respectively-wh are very fond OF

such a sweet. reverent little fashion
that even the sternest moralist could
not find il in his heart 10 say them nay
One day, says the New York Tribune,
their mother sent them into the dining
room to play, while she worked in an
adjoining room. Happening TO pass the
door she stopped a moment TO look at
her little folks, and this is what she
saw: The elder boy was sitting upon
the table, as ''God up in Heaven" his
little face puckered into grave lines
Close by, arranged one below the other,
were a high chair. common chair, and
last a stool-all evidently representing
the bladder" TO Heaven. The little
four-year-old was an angel and the wee
bit" sister was lying on tho floor, "be-
ing dead" Presently the little angel
took her in his arms and set out upon
his Heavenward journey. 1t was toll
some way. Up he mounted-first the
footstool. then the chair; but arriving
at the high chair his strength suddenly
gave out, and tired little angels voice

tones; 800 tome and det her, bod.

A CHINESE BRIDE.

The Feariully and Wonderfully Made
Dress She Wore at Her Wedding.
A writer in the North China Herald
describes the dress worn by a Chinese
lady at her wedding, of which he was a
witness, as follows; AT length we
were admitted to inspect the bride,
whose four-hours' toilet was just COM
pleted, and a marvellous spectacle, truly,
was the figure seated motionless in the
center of the room Gorgeously elab-
crate was her array from head TO foot,
the former crowned with a helmet-like
erection of material resembling tur-
quois-enamel, wrought into the finest
filigree work, from which projected
glittering artificial beetles and butter
flies and other quaint rich ornaments,
the whole surmounted by three large,
round tufts of crimson silk. arranged
tiara-wise. From the brim of this
head-gear fell all round strings OF pearl
and ruby beads, about half-a-yard in
length. Just visible through these, at
the back, were broad loops of jet black
hair, stiff and solid as polished ebony,
and decorated with artificial pink roses.
Her principal vestment was a long
tunic, whose foundation fabric of Grim
son satin was scarcely discernable amid
its embroidery of gold; a corner turned
back, lined with emerald satin, re-
vealed an underskirt panelled in bril-
liant red and blue silk. this also pro-
fusely trimmed with gold embroidery
A belt of scarlet satin, studded with
tablets of white cornelian, crossed the
waist behind. From the front edge of
her headdress a red silk vail fell almost
to the ground, adding much to her
preterhuman aspect

Chairman OF the Democratic County
Executive Committee stole the ballot

are manufactured by the notorious CLIQUE
