Wis strange, . said Mehitabel Jones
To her neighbour Zeruvia Barry;
"'Tis strange-I declare If it isn't
That Nancy Terhune doesn't marry.
She's had offers enough. goodness knows;
So that doesn't furnish q reason;
And no longer she blooms Us a rose,
For this is her twentieth season.
"Why, there WIS a picnic that year
At Farmer Terhune's, / remember;
And Nancy was just seventeen,
Her birthday the first Of September
And she was the life of it all,
A creature of frolic and fancy;
And some of the girls that were there
We're nightly jealous Of Nancy.
''she wasn't a firt or coquette,
AS ever I could discover.
But, somehow, as soon as she'd won,
She was always right off with a lover;
Yet oh, she was pleasant and kind,
With manners SO cosy and hearty,
We knew we should have a good time
Ii Nancy was one Of our party.
sand it's strange-I declare now it isr's
Said Mehitabel Jones, rather nettled,
'"Thet Nancy-the belle of the place
Wasn't long ago married and settled!
She's nigh on to forty, you know,
And with young folks no longer should min
gle;
But she laughs with our girls and our boys,
Who rejoice that she still remains SINGLE
II see how it is''-with a nod
Said her neighbor, zeruyia Barry;
''The general ~favorite's the one
You'll find the least likely to marry.
And lough she may be very oft
By match making parties berated,
She'll be missed very, very much more
Than her sisters-thc married and mated.n

Cruel Arab Slave Hunter

The Arab system of raiding is unique.
About fifty years ago they subdued the
extensive Manyema country, Of which
Nyangwe and Kassongo are now we'll
known centres. The Manyema, after
being thus disbended, gradually allied
themselves with the Arabs, and eventually
have spread their operations throughout
the country to an enormous extent
The Arabs, on their expeditions in search
of slaves and ivory, generally surround
the native villages early in the morning.
AT a given signal they rush in from all
points, firing right and left and capturing
all the women. If the men offer resist
auce they are shot, otherwise they are
allowed to escape. The marauders then
pillage all the huts in the village, which
they afterward fire. II, however, the
place happens to be extensive, the Arabs
adopt different tactics. They form a
stockade or zareba. Thus fortified they
establish themselves, maintaining strict
watch at night. During the whole Of
their stay they keep the attitude Of de-
fence. After the lapse of several days
they release two or three of the women
prisoners, who are instructed to deliver
message to the men-in hiding far away
in the forest-to the effect that if they
want their women back they must come
and redeem them with tusks of ivory
each woman being valued at the rate Of
one large tusk. Then several days pass,
until perhaps one morning early a grufi
voice is heard in the distance hailing the
encampment. He inquiries as to the
truth of the statement brought by the
women, and then follows parley. Dur
ing the subsequent days the prosecuted
natives come with ivory to redeem their
mothers, sisters, or wives. Eventually
they make friends with their conquerors,
who then use them as guides to the next
encampment, where the same treatment
IS repeated upon the neighbors of those
recently plundered. Part of the reward
that the guides receive from the Arabs is
the flesh of the people who are shot in
the next attack.-Scri5Her.

FASHION NOTES.

Princess skating costumes are made
entirely of fur.
Fur trimmings are more extensively
used than for many years.
Lace is again used as a garniture, but
is set on fatty, as insertions around the
skirt or in rows across side breadths.
A becoming garniture for low cor
sage of black velvet is narrow border
of closely curled ostrich plumage-
The ribbons used for loops, both on
hats and bonnets, are Of very heavy
quality and stand almost as stitfiy as if
made of metal.
BUSHES they were always bad form,
and now they are recognized as not only
being out of the line of beauty, but in
extremely bad style.
Astrakhan is much liked on red hats
and bonnets, and proves so decorative
that all further garniture, save bow Of
ribbon, is unnecessary.
Among petticoats recently made for a
bride was one of rich black MORE, satin
wadded and scented, the perfume being
introduced between the Innings.
The high couture is gradually being
SUPERSEDED by the catogan. In mary
cases an excellent and becoming effect is
attained by the union Of both styles.
Shell slides covered with gold filigree
and hinged like bracelets are worn to en-
circle and hold in place the catogsn
braids so popular With young ladies.
The finger nail worn in the French
style is pointed; in the English style
rounded. The fashionable style of the
little finger nail in pointed style is about
a quarter of an inch.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.


With care, furniture may be kept look
ing nice for years, but without this care
it soon becomes dingy and shabby. a
thorough cleansing, once a month, at
least, should be given to upholstered fur
niture that is in everyday use. Articles
covered with plush or any goods with
pile may be brushed with bristle brush,
but for hair-cloth light switch works
best, wiping off the surface afterward
with damp cloth. Wipe the wood
with a damp cloth, and if there are any
dents in it, 1t is said the application OF
several thicknesses of wet plotting paper
held in place till dry by a warm fiatiron
will remove the dent, unless a very deep
one, when several applications may be
necessary. When the woodwork is dry,
rub with warm linseed oil and polish
with chamois skin. White spots may be
removed by alcohol simply pressed on
the spot by a cloth that is not linty, and
not rubbed, as rub oing viii take off the
varnish. \ flannel cloth moistened with
kerosene Is good to rub the furniture
with, and the disagreeable odor of the
oil soon disappears. Courier Journal.

People Who Worship the Bear.

In the north island of Japan and in
some parts Of the extreme northwest of
Asia there lives an interesting race of
people called Amos. Where they came
from nobody seems to know, for in many
respects they are not at all like the
japanese and Chinese.
The men are well built but rather
understood, and their bodies are covered
more or less thiekly with hair. They
wear long boards, and the hair of their
head is also long and bushy. The women
are not 50 well-looking, as they have to
do ell the hard work of the tribe.
The folk are not gifted with much in
telligence, and they worship natural OBJ
jects and animals, the bear being specially
selected for this purpose. They spend
their time in fishing and hunting. 1t is
hard to tell what is the number of the
Amos. But as they are not supposed to
number more than $4,000 at the very
most, it is likely that they will sooner OF
later become extinct.

A Wonderful Rahr Mimic.

A singular freak of nature, says {
Ramer tAla.) correspondent of the Phila
delphia Times. was brought to town by c
colored woman named Jane Carter, who
has until recently been employed on a
farm near here. The freak is her three
months.old baby, which will repeat almost
ANYTHING said to it or spoken in his pres
ence. The Times correspondent called to
see the phenomenon and found the child
to be a 1right-eyed little baby, with moth
ing remarkable in its appearance, though
possessed Of so singular power.
It's boy, about the usual size of an
infant of its age, eating and sleeping in a
most nltural manner. Its speech IS Inn
tied to repeating words and sentences
which t hears, originating nothing itself.
A sentence of ten or twelve words OF one
or two short syllables IS as much as 1t IS
able to repeat without mistake, though it
will attempt to deliver a longer speech,
catching at a word or phrase here and
there. Single words of as many as five or
six syllables it can produce quite cor
rectly. even such as we considered a
mouthful to the nimblest tongued.
The baby's articulation, though rather
weak, is distinct and clear, and has moth
ing Of the hsping accent of children
That it is only an extraordinarily devel-
oped power of mimicry is shown by its
initiating every infection of the voice and
repesting with equal correctness sentences
in different languages. The child Will
also sigh or laugh, and even sing short
measure after hearing such, doing all
without any expression of the face beyond
the one natural to an infant of its tender
age.
The colored people about regard it
with superstltious awe, and even the
mother seems to have a horror of it, and
says its peculiarly is the result of some
coniuring process BY a neighboung hoo
doc doctor whom she had offended. She
saws that it first began to talk when lack
ing only few days Of being six weeks
old. and that she abandoned it for nearly
forty-eight hours, thinking it was ''de
debbil himself" but on hearing it cry
from hunger her maternal feelings con
quered her superstition.
Her object in bringing it to town was
to have it baptized by some white min
lister here, the eolored pastor of her
church refusing to perform that rite. She
thinks baptism may counteract the con-
iuring and cure its afiiiction, as she re-
cards it.

Sick in Bed for Siytv.two Years

Miss Chloe Lankton died in New
Hartford, Conn, recently, in her seven
ty-eighth year She was born in 1872.
At the age of sixteen she attacked by a
malady which has kept her in bed ever
since. She has lived sixty-two years in
bed. The sick room was costly ar
ranged, so that she could help herself
to many things. About thirty years ago
the story of her life was written and pub
ished in the Suadqy-school Union.
When her parents died she was cared for
by friends. She never complained, and
was ever cheerful and patient One OF
her great troubles was the difficulty Of
having her bed made The late John C.
Smith, of New Haven, invented a little
derrick. The patient would have 4
strong canvas placed beneath her, which
was attached by a simple tackle to the
derrick and she could be swung off from
the bed as if in a hammock. Mr.. Smith
also built for her an ingenious cupboard
which was a great comfort to her, as she
made it hold nearly everything she
wanted. About a year ago an attack CT
erysipelas destroyed the sight of one eye,
and added greatly to her infrmities, but
did not affect her sunny disposition.
Opium in one form or another had beer
her chief medicine.

First, be sure that the waist is properly
starched in boiled starch and thoroughly
dried; then make a weak, cold starch
and dip the collars and cuffs into it,
being careful not to wet into the other
parts of the garment as it takes longer to
dry, and the starch in those parts is not
needed. Lay the waist wrong sidU-out)
with the back to the table, told one
sleeve upon it, then the other, lay over
these the fronts, sprinkling each part &C
cording to the thickness of the cloth, roll
tightly and let lie the desired length of
time, then proceed as follows: With
the sleeves still wrong side out, rub
quickly the wristbands; now turn, and
we are really commencing (what seems
to many an arduous task. We will iron
first the outside of one wristband, then
the inside, shaping it as we dry it. Next
fold the sleeve lat the opening) from
wrist to shoulder, and iron; the upper
half of the sleeve can be ironed better
with it folded that way Now fold by
the under-arm seam and finish, and the
sleeve will have the same appearance as
nicely Numbered shirt. Follow with the
second sleeve, and we are ready for the
other part. Rub over the part below
the wristband, then press the tucks in
the front into shape with a moderately
warm iron; now use hot one, and
thoroughly dry on the wrong side; in
this way the shoulder seams can be easily
dried. Next iron the back in the same
WY, pressing the plaits into shape on
the right side, but doing the greater
part Of the ironing on the wrong side.
At last the collar is reached, requiring
but a few moments time, and the gar
ment which has been so much dreaded Is
finished, and the result is satisfactory.
Sometimes it is desirable to press little
on the right side at the last; in that case
do not iron as dry on the wrong side
