EVERYBODY LIKES HER.

She is the girl who is not "too bright
and good TO be able to find Joy and
pleasure all over the world.
She is the girl who appreciates the
fact that she cannot always have the
first choice of everything in the world.
She is the girl who is not aggressive
and does not find joy in melting ag-
gressivo people.
She is the girl who has tact enough
not to say the very thing that will cause
the skeleton in her friends closet TO
rattle his bones.
She is the girl who. when you invite
her any place, compliments you by
looking her best.
She is the girl who is sweet and
womanly to look at and listen to, and
who doesn't strike you as a poor imita-
ton of demi moDdaine.
She Is the girl who makes this world
a pleasant place because she is 90
pleasant herself.
And, by and by, when you come to
think of t,isn't she the girl who makes
you feel she likes you, and, therefore,
you like her?

SHE GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH.
From the New York SUM-


was in government employ al Fort
Smith when half breed named Hick-
ett was condemned for murder and sen.
fenced to be hanged. About two weeks
before the date of the hanging q party
of StLouis people came that way.
Among them was lone female about
fifty years of age, who was greatly con-
cerned about the salvation of the Indian
race. When she learned that Hlckett
was to swinI she sent him Testament
and some tracts, and day later came
to him and said:
alt has struck me that | would like
the poor mans autograph. Would you
lie kind enough to hand him this album
and ask him to write his name?'
|, of course, agreed to do so. 1t was
very fine album, costing not less
than $40 or $l2, and every page was
still blank. passed il in to Hickett and
told him what was wanted. lie called
tor me in about two hours and handed
the album. neatly wrapped up. sent
IT oyer to the hotel, and fifteen minutes
later the lone woman brought it back
with eyes rolling in horror. Hickett
had written on every page, aud he had
written: Going TO hell July 2s, 1867.
Yours truly. and may we meet togeth-
er there, Jim Hickett."

1t Happened Thus.
BY ALBERT BIGELOw PAINE.

He was an artist; patiently he toiled
To gain the heights that glimmered from afar,
Aud with the years had won partial fame.
She was an actress, young and very fair,
vending her way along quiet path,

They met TO love, with that great, deafness
love

TO love with them were life-tO part were

So when parent hand, impelled by pride,
And mother-worship for an only child,
A hand that sought TO clasp gilded crown
For that fair head, was laid between their
hearts'
The sun went OUT anu darkness settled down
On those two lives as DER sunless sea.

FAILURES AND SUCCESSES.

From the MsdisonyIlle. XIV. hus'ier.l
Bank failures are not the only kind
OF failures we have. The Young man
who works on a salary OF 50 week
and spepds So every Saturday night in
drinking and caroLsing Is sad failure.
The Young lady who is too delicate to
assist her mother in washing the dishes
or setting the table, yet vino is able to
dance all night al ball, is a failure.
The young man who is industrious and
saves more than he speuds and the
young lady who thinks more of her
mother than of seDseless dude are
successful.

SPONGE OUT A HEADACHE.

The ordinary nervous headache will
be greatly relieved and in many cases
entirely cured by removing the waist
OF ones dress. knotting the hair high
up on the head ont OF the way. and
while leaning over a basin, placing q
sponge soaked in water as hot as il can
be borne on the back OF the neck. Re-
peat this many times, also applying the
sponge behind tho ears, and the strain
ed muscles and nerves that have caused
so much misery will be felt to relax
and smooth themselves ont deliciously.
and very frequently the pain promptly
vanishes in consequence.
Every woman knows the aching face
and neck, generally brought home from
a hard days shopping or from long
round Of calls and afternoon teas. She
regards with intense dissatisfaction the
heavy lines drawn around her eyes and
mouth by the long strain Oh the facial
muscles, and when she must carry that
worn countenance to some dinner party
or evenings amusement, il rohs her of
all the pleasure 10 be had N it. Cos
metics are not the cure, nor bromides
or the many nerve sedstives to be had
at the drug shop.
Use the sponge aud hot water again,
bathing the face in water as hot IS it
can possibly be borne; apply the sponge
over and over again TO the temples,
throat and behind the ears, where most
of the nerves and muscles of the head
center, and then bathe the tace in water
running cold from the faucet. Color
and smoothness of outlines come back
to the face, an astonishing freshness
and comfort is the result, and If nap
of ten minutes eau follow, every trace
of fatigue will vanish.
The same remedy is invaluable for
sunburn. and the worst case OF this
latter affliction OF sensitive skins will
succumb to the hot water treatment.
The cold douche should not follow in
this case; instead, q light application
of vaseline or cold cream, which pre-
vents peeling OF the skin a. the hot
water prevented Inflammation.
Nothing 30 good for tired eyes has
yet been discovered as bathing them In
hot water, and neuralgia in nine cases
out of ten will yield TO applications of
cloths wruns out In hot water IN which

the result Is a collision, whether looming
thro' the rye," or not. Life is full of coils
ions. We are constantly collidng with some
body or something. If it isn't with our
neighbors it is with some dread diseases that
"knocks us of the track" and perhaps dis
ables us for life. Women especially it seems,

While he was standing at the Sands

miss of 10 years, carrying a travelling
bag and parasol and wearing a tourists

accosted him and inquired the way to

Garnisi,ing the 1ap.e.

There is nothing more graceful in the
way of floral o-rnamentation for the lun-
cheon table than the ivy scarf, which is
easily made and will last several days.
Pluck the Ivy leaves from their stems,
dust and polish them with a flannel and
a very little sweet oil. The Heidelberg
ivy, with It's veins and marvellous tracery,
should be selected if convenient. Cut a
scarf of dark green cambria that will
cover the table and droop almost to the
floor at each end. 1t must be scarf
shape, of course, being only about two
feet wide at the center. Sew on to this
ivy leaves with dark green thread SO
that the leaves just lap one another and
lie different ways from the middle.
With a little pains the ivycan be caught
on the cambria so as to rest fatty and
easily. and it looks almost like a satin
scarf when completed. At each end
sprays of ivy leaves may be sewed, SO as
to finish the piece. Upon this scarf lay
punches of buttercups, daisies or any
flowers at intervals, which have a very
careless and pretty effect.-New York

The Princess Louise, who for the past
ten years has presided over an art school
in Sloane street, London West, is tho
first English woman to employ Irish
needle She saw fit to secure
that talent on account of Its superior
qualification, and in a sweet and diplo-
matte way grouped the sewers together
for class instruction or to fill orders. 1t
will be remembered that from this
school of needle painting nearly all of
the now famous schools originated. The
princess received her scholastic educa-
ton from her father, and aside from her
intellectual attainments she is gifted
as an artist, sculptress and art designer.

portion, that she made him vow never to
tell lie and said: Go, my son, con-
sign thee to God. and we shall not meet
again till the day of Judgment" The
youth went away and the party he travel
ed with were assaulted by robbers. One
fellow asked the boy what he had, and he
answered with candor that surprised his
queStioner. Forty dinars are sewed up
in my garments The robber laughed
thinking the boy jesting. Another asked
the same question and received the same
answer. At last the chief called him and
asked him what he had. And the boy re-
piled: Il have told two of your people al
ready that | have forty dinars sewedup in
my clothes. The chief ordered his clothes
to be ripped open, and the money was
found. And how came you to do this? ?"
because, - replied the boy, Il would
not be false to my mother, whom SOLEMN
iy promised never to tell a lie ~ Child. ;"
said the chief Art thou so mindful of thy
mother, while am insensibe at the duty
owe to God? give me thy hand that
may swear repentance on it." He did so,
and his followers We're struck with the
scene. You have been our leader in
guilt they said to the chief abe the
same In the path of virtue!" And taking
the boys hand he swore repentance on it.
Boys, speak only that which is true. You
may do as much good 10y it, if even you
never lead Il band of robbers to God and

The scoring of the bores of modern can
non by the new powder in use is claimed to
be due to the fact that upon ignition all of
the powder is not turned to gas, some of

latter which does the scoring by being
thrown with such force against the metal
of the gun that the resulting action is
very similar to that of a sand blast for
cutting glass
