WASHINGTON, Feb. fS.-The house com

dent of the postal telegraph company, ID.
b. Bates, formerly Interested with tele-

MAKER introduced the subject by saying that
Western Union telegraph company. His
first hope, he said, had been to persuade that
company TO look at the matter OF telegraph
rates as he saw them, but he had failed in
that. He had offered TO present the bill
simply as a study for the committee. He
said he thought the civil service. commission
should control the proposed new service, and
he would also that the bill be
amended SO as to prevent the use OF the
wires for political purposes by employees and
others. 80.

Some of the Latest Toilets.

Upon some of the toilets now in the
hands of the modiste are pretty Empire
bodIces, which have slightly open coat
sleeves, cut up either at the back or
front seam, or both, to admit NOUS
quetaire frill of rich Venetian lace,
creamy and web-like in quality. This
style is said to make the hand look
smaller than any other OF the in
Vulnerable new models, and one that
both Modiesla and Barnhardt particu-
larly affect. Another sleeve is made of
satin-striped pompadour brocade in
damask rose and dove color. The
striped sleeve opens to admit very
deeply pointed shoulder puff of rich
moss velvet; and upon another gown, q
la Marie Stuart, there is high collar,
pointed shoulder puffs, and coin-covered
bodice plaston of golden-brown velvet.

A happy thought entered his head.
He asked Grace if she would like him
to make an examination of her grand
fathers eyes, as he had made eyes his

that the expenses would rot be great,
and left an appointment for the next
day.
What more need be told? Of course
there is but one sequel to this. He called
next day, won the hearts of both grand
parents, and in six months had Mr. Gra-
hams eyes permanently restored, in
payment for which he asked for the

COLORS FOR BLONDES.
They Should Not Wear Pale Blue Nor
Fear Rose Tints.

A long time ago people used TO think
that blue was essentially a color for
blondes and angels. Nobody can dis
| pute its being the color for angels, but
! it certainly is not the one to be chosen
! by blonde. The fair skin looks cold
enough, and when blue, especially palo
| blue, is put near it the effect given is
undesirable, because what was clear
white before becomes pallor now.
! Blondes had much better wear any Of
the rose shades, bright scarlet, warm
brown, or dark green, leaving the trying
pale blue to the brown-haircd lassie
with bright color, or the warm bru.
the unsightly touch of sallowness.
Every body likes rose-colored
lining, and to be in vogue this season
every body ought to have a rose
color frock-in cotton or wool, in silk or
tulle, it is always most charita in
bringing out ono's best features and tom
ing ones worst. Combined with whito
the pink shades are as dainty as bit
of old china, and will suggest the pretty
pink and white ladies whom Vatican
painted on fans, who played at little
Trianon with Marie Antoinettc, la ughed
and jcsted and yet did not fear when
they had to face death on the guillo-
tine for the sake of the King and the
Queen.
There is curious "shot" silk that is
gray and white, which the wise shop
keeper knows as being fac-simile of
the one worn by the beautiful Queen of
France, and which, it is said became
hallowed by being assumed during the
Reign of Terror, when life, love and
every thing seemed going from her.
The frou-frou of it to-day sounds as gay
as it did in the long time ago. viii

SORROWS SAFETY VALVE.


Great griefs can seldom be borne in
silence;nor is it well that they should be.
just as the cry of pain springs to the
lips of y child when it is hurt, so the
wounded spirit longs for utterance to
ease its sorrow. Far from being a re-
bolious and unnatural desire, this long
. ing to somehow unburden tho soul in
words is merciful gift of God, who,
even when he chastens, would fain
temper his wind to the shOrn lamb.
See how the nobleSt souls have sought
and found, not only n balm for sorrow,
but sorrows own deeper meaning in
uttering their hearts profoundost cry
Think of that magnificent memorial
poem in which Tennyson gathered up,
as in sacred urn, the fragments of his
broken heart. Was his sorrow for Hal.
lam the less, that he thus robbed it of
its bitterest sting, the sting of helpless
silence and hopeless brooding? Was
Cicero less noble, less heroic, because,
after the death of his beloved daughter
Tullia, he wrote treatise on consola.
ZION W dlltN Id W HIS SOlEONF NO, utter
ances sanctifieS the grief whose pang it
softenS. God does not will that we
should suffer in whitelipped silence.
He never drives the barbed arrow into
the human heart. Oh, what comfort,
what peace has come to many stricken
soul in pouring out its sorrow to some
sympathetic friend, or telling it all in
broken letter to some dear one far away.
We need not be poets or orators to use
this blessed safety-valve of sorrow
Enough if we have the faculty of ut.
terance. Surely, in tho fulness of the
heart we shall not ask for words! And
then there is another safety-valve OF
sorrow. 1t is service. Work, loving,
earnest work--it is like the dew OF
Heaven upon tho bruised reed If sor.
row should take away our power OF
serving, it would be the worst hell the
mind can conceive. 1t would be like
the chained hands of Prometheus, while
the vultures we're gnawing at his vitals
But thank God? however dark and deer
our sorrow, we are not deprived of the
blessed relief of doing. Though the |
eyes rain, let not the hands lie idle |
There is worldful of blessed work to |
be done, and service is sorrows bplm OF |

OF nero selfish qualification, it is tn,
duty OF all to try to enjoy themselves

enjoyment The morning song of the
thrush, the CLEAN of the humming
blrds plumage, the beauty of lakes and
the majestic grandeur of mountains
bring no pleasure to some natures.
Many people lose all enjoyment in life
because they are hypercritical. They
are forever in search of flaws and in.
perfections instead of looking at the
best side. No picture or work of art
gives them genuine pleasure, because
they are not content with it. They find
some slight error which no one else
possibly has discovered, and it over.

art is one Of the most noble and rein.
ing OF which man is capable. it is an
inspirati to a noble nature to higher
living and better thinking. Many lov.
ers of music seem so critical in thoir
appreciation that they lose all pleasure
in any performance that they attend.
A discriminating taste is an ex
celent gift, but this is a
different thing from hyper
critical taste. Many persons fail to en-
joy their homes for the same reason.
They always find moro needs that can
not be filled than pleasures to enjoy.
Nothing, in short gives them true en-
joyment for any length of time. One of
the most frequent causes of dissatiSfac-
tion is fckleness of taste. Nothing
seems of any value to some people after
it is fairly in their grasp, The most
beautiful gem afar off becomes COM
mon pebble in their hands. A bird in
the bush seems far more beautiful than
one in the hand. Such people can never
be happy until they learn to take pleas
ure in what they have. 1t is the small
things of life, enioyments Of the hour,
that make up the sum of human hap
piness. Those who do not find pleas.
ures enough to be happy in the
position in which they arc
placed, need seek no farther. In short,
comes from within; it is the
of the man, not his sur
that makes or mars his life.
Put the discontentod laborer, who com
plains against the law of Heaven that
he should earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow, in a palace, and he would
still find cause for grumbling. There
are not enough Mark Tapleys among US,
who try to be cheerful under difficult

every thing; people whose fires always
burn brightly and cheerfully, and whose
daily fare is thrice blessed because it is
taken with a cheerful spirit.-N. Y.
