An Awful situation.

In an English theatre recently the
orchestra between the acts was play
ing very loudly, and two ladies in a
front row were endeavoring to con-
verse at the same time. They had to
raise their voices considerably, and as
the orchestra suddenly reached a low
passage the voice of one of the ladies
became cruelty distinct just as she re-
marked, Il wear silk underclothes."

Peculiar temptations beset the
young woman of fashion. A church
congregation near Little Washington
has been working hard for a week or
two getting ready boxes of clothing
for the Home Missions. A young lady,
who is rather noted for her stylish
dress, had charge of the filling of
one box. As she turned over the
various articles she came to a
tailor-made dress which some wealthy
woman had contributed. Inside the
band at the neck she perceived the
mystic name of a small man-tailor
stitched. 1t was but the work of d
moment and a sharp pair of scissors
to cut this trademark from the dress.
As she packed away the dress, having
put the bit of pilfered tape in her
pocketbook, she said to herself
What does a missionary's wife know
of fashionable dressmakers2 1t will
be the making of my new walkin
dress. "-P5tts6arg Despatch.

Mrs. Venderbiit's Bed.
The most imposing bed in New York
is slept in by Mrs. Willie K. Wander
bilt. The bedstead is of rosewood,
and the canopy used to be lined with
an enormous plate glass mirror. The
mirror was taken out a year or two
ago, and is now replaced by the more
conventional old-rose satin. The
room has an inlaid floor, covered with
rugs. There is no individuality in
the arrangement of little things about
the room. All are in the same cold
and stately style as the enthroned bed.
People who are received by Mrs. Van
derbilt before she arises for the day
say the place never looks as if it were
a room a woman lived in or slept III.
Everything is as Mrs. Carlyle's maid
said of Raphaers Madonna" very
expensive" and that is really the
most striking feature about it.

A Nautical Fancy.

The politicians of Hudson County
had better make up their minds that
the cyclonic disturbance at present in
the air is no trifling matter. If they
do not wake up and trim their sails,
some of them are going to get wrecked.
From all quarters the tempest is
gathering about them. One danger
jumps up behind another, and at this
time Of writing only one avenue OF
escape seems to be open.
There is one haven of refuge and,
we believe. only me-. That one is
genuine reform. That is a land locked
bay about when winds blow and
thunders crash in vain.
The trouble is there are a number OF
shallow estuaries which look like the
great sea of rest, and unskillful pilots
sometimes make the mistake of steer
ing for them under the impression that
they are more easily reached than TIL
n true refuge.
Beware OF them We political mari
ners. You will be dashed to pieces on
the rocks il yon make any mistake in
this co%njuncture. Choose as your
pilot a good ma and true. give him
the helm, and then cease interfering
with him.

The Corpse Cure.

1--WE used to call him SorroWful
Stuggins because he took on so when
his first wife died. He built vault
on his own place--it was nigh the
skirts of North Brookfeld he lived
and had her body put in it so that
the coffin could easily be seen. But
Stuggins got tired Of loneliness after
a couple Of years Of widowing and
married woman from a neigh bor-
ing farm. The second wife had a
temper of her own, and it wasn't
long before she gave Stuggins a
taste of it. So what did that man
do but go to an undertaken and get
a glass top put in his first wife's
coffin. Then when number two got
cantankerous he'd lead her to the
vault and push her down over the
opening, saying:
- There you cross grained female.
Take a look at the remains of the
only woman / ever loved.
1t didn't take many doses Of that
sort o. medicine to take pretty much
all the cantanker out ofnum Der two,
and we nsed to call it the corpse
cure. {" Pioneer Press.

Breed for Courage.

There is no quality which a genu
inc horseman prizes more highly than
that downright pluck or indomita
BILE courage which stimulates it's pos
SCISSOR to struggle brayely to the end
when the odds are greatly against
him. There is probably no quality
less susceptible of Improvement BY
cultivate than this. 1t is one OF
those attributes ofthat must be in
herited from it's ancestors and be
born in the animal If a horse lacks
muscle that can be developed by
more proper exercise. IF his action
is detective the skill of the trainer,
aided by that of the smith who does
the shoeing, can improve it greatly,
Proper exercise and the reduction
Of internal fat will give greater lung;
capacity and improve the wind. Ifthe
horse inherits a faint heart, however,
it's beyond the skill Of the trainer
to inspire him with that ''do or die
courage which determines the winner
in closely contested heats of long
drawn out races. The only way
that this valuable quality can be
materially improved is by breeding
to the most courageous iron heart
ed families.

go up and down Washington Street,
seeking to devour, and in the end
not frequently getting devoured.
That. there is in him some Of the
capacities necessary for the success
full pursuit Of the legal profession is
indicated by an incident, trivial in
itself, which marked the beginning of
his career: ~.
Why is it." he was one day asked
by q classmate who put out his
sign in the same block al about
the same time, that people whom
you don't in the least know come
into your office and give you Jobs,
and nobody ever comes to me unless
it is somebody that has been sent?n
MY dear fellow, !" was the reply,
''it is the simplest thing in the world.
When had my sign painted, l let it
lie out on the grass for week, 1
squirted water over it from the
garden hose, and I rubbed it with a
q sod, SO that when it was put up it
looked as if it had been in use for
two or three years. Your brightnew
sign advertised to all the world that
you werejust started out, but mine
gave the impression that was an
old hand; sol got the patronage.

4 temporary IdIocy.

From San Francisco Bulletin. rs
a strange fatality sometimes over.
takes men who have earned a good
reputation for skill, faithfulncss, and
the greatest caution. There have
been instances where engineers have
run trains for twenty years without
an accident. Then one would occur
which seemed to be the result OF gross
carelessness. Steamships have been
run ashore or into reefs in starlight
nights. Men who have handled ma
8chinery for years without an acct
dent have finally been caught in it
and have lost their lives. There are
whole classes OF casualt ties; for which.
it is difficult to find any rational ex-
PLANTATION. Do such accidents occur
from some sudden mental failure?
Why, for some instance, does one
who has rendered faithful and accu-
rate service for ten or twenty wears
fail sud denly in some duty which has
always been familiar, TO him? There
are instances when competent ship
captains, who had been to sea for
the greater part OF their lives, failed
in capacity on the very last voyage
which they proposed to make BY
some misca lcnl ation which seemed to
be nothing less than grosa careless
ness, they lost the ship and their
own lives,
