Emma Juchs hobby is crystal. Every sue
cessful tour of her opera company adds to
the treasures of her dining room. This dim
ing room is furnished to make the crystal
more beautiful Its yellow floor and blue
and terra Gotta rugs and walls, its polished
oak furniture do but bring out the brilliancy
and the sparkle of the cabinet which is its
chief ornament. This crystal cabinet is like
a cave of diamonds, with its shelves of
quantity fashioned jugs and bottles and cups
and bowls and pieces of every use, with those
which are clearly decorative. There are old
French eandlesticks and cut glass trays and
French vases with handles in brass, and old
barrel bottles and lamps and wine glasses
with armorial tablets in gilt, and German
glasses of the Seventeenth century, and We
netian glasses and Dutch glasses and old Mex
lean glasses and glass plaques with figures
and shields in color, and curious things and
rare things almost without end. Miss Juch

A lady, for example, viii never ignore little

Conclude in crowd that she has right

Consume the time of people who can III
spare it.
Wear on the street dress only fitted to
the house or carriage.
Talk loudly in public places.
Wear a torn glove when needle and

right.
Fail in answering letters or returning visits,

Fret about the heat or the cold, the sun or

Complain OF her family or discuss personal

Always believe the worst rather than the
best side of a story.

Knitting Carpets.

Knitting carpets is q home industry in Ger
many, where it is carried on by women and
girls of all classes. 1t is more durable than
woven rag carpet Knitted carpet schools
have been established in many towns, and
itinerant carpet makers travel from place
to place teaching the art of carpet knitting
for a small remuneration. The carpet is
knit of strips of textile goods, such as woven
rag carpet is made of. The knitting is done
with wooden needles, and for convenience the
carpet is made only about twelve inches
wide, the widths being joined together by
sewing in the usual manner. Knitted in
strips from six to eight inches wide, it serves
admirably as border for remnants or short
pieces of Brussels or other carpet made into
rugs. Knitting carpets is also Canadian do

A Wonan's Watch.

The idea that womens watches on brace
let OF leather is something new, stated by
New York paper the other day, struck me
as being funny. We have had them for two
years. confess that think it is good idea
Any idea which will make woman wear a
watch where she win pay 1t some attention is
a good one. The majority of women do not
know how to treat a watch. They put II N
their dresses so the chains viii show, and they
seem to think that will regulate their time
pieces. They forget half the time TO wind
their watches, and then wonder why they
don't keep the correct time. A fortune awaits
the milliner who viii make place in wo-
mans dress where watch can be carried 50

Value of Personal caarr,s in Women.

Value of Personal Charrls in Women.
Young women are often led to depend for
happiness upon personal charms Do not be
beguiled into such belief Beauty is such
subtle thing, it does not seem TO depend upon
facial proportions, or upon the sparkle OF the
eye, or upon the flush of the check. You
s-.neIlnes fnd 1t among irregular features.
1t is the soul shining through the face thst
makes one beautiful But alas for those who
depend upon mere personal charms They
will come to disappointment and to great
fret. There are so many different opinions
about what are personal charms; and then
sickness. and trouble, and age do make such
ravagcs. The poorest god that a woman ever
worships is her own face. The saddest sight
in all the world is a woman who has built
everything on good looks when the charms
begin to vanish. Oh, how they try to cover
the wrinkles and hide the ravages Of time!
When Time, with iron shod feet, steps on
face the hoof marks remain and you cannot
hide them. 1: is silly to try to hide them.
think the most repuisive fool in all the world
is an old fool
| never could understand why a woman
should be ashamed about getting old. 1t is a
sign, it is prima facie evidence, that you
have behaved tolerably well. or you would
not have lived to this time. The srandest
thing, | think, is eternity, and that is made
up Of countless years. When the Book of
Books would set forth the attractiveness OF
Jesus Christ, it says: His hair was as white
as snow" But when the color goes from the
check, and the luster from the eye, and the
spring from the step, and the gracefulness
from the gait, alas! for those who have built
their time and eternity upon good looks.
But all the passage of years cannot take out
of ones face benignity and kindness, and
compassion, and faith. Culture your heart
and YOU culture your face.-Rev. 7. De Witt

Her Caller Knew What to Expect,

It is the fashion of some women to keep
visitors waiting an unconscionable time for
absolutely no reason at all but to satisfy a
caprice or fad OF theirs. Heaven knows
where they got the idea, but some of the dear
creatures imagine that it is a canon of high
bred etiquette to let caller cool his or her
heels in the parlor for half an hour or SO
after the servant brings up the card. This
impertinence is most often offered by women
to women.
A superb young woman, who had high
birth and plenty of money, sauciiy told girl
in her set recently that she always kept
callers waiting twenty minutes before she
appeared. The girl who received this valu-
able piece of news called upon the golden calf
a few days afterward. She sent up her card
and the footman returned with the message
that Miss would be down in a few min
utes. The caller took out her watch, and
when seven minutes had expired wrote upon
one of her cards: II have been gone just
thirteen minutes"
Leaving this card on the table, the young
lady took her departure.-Pittsburg Dis

Sapoleoa's Coats,

OF all the historical garments which crowd
the great museums of the world none are
more famous than the "gray overcost" and
''cbapeau" of Napoleon /, celebrated in Ber-
anger's and Raffet's poems and Dainted by
scoresof aspiring French artists. At a recent
search through the archives OF the times Of
the great conqueror, the taifor's and hatter's
account for some of these articles of clothing
has been found, and it appears that for each
of his ''chapeaux castocn he paid 60f., while
his ''redingotes grrses" cost MIN 1G0f. apiece.
The overcoats were always made very wide,
for, contrary to bhe custom of the officers of
that period, Napoleon never took Of his
