Miss Sallie Holley, n Virginia girl, has
undertaken the education Of the colored
girls of her state. The work is purely
philanthropic. Miss Holley has sent let
ters to nearly all the women's clubs in
Union asking for a cash contribution or
u years service from n member as teacher
in the south. Her method is the estab-
lishment of small schools throughout the
state, where the colored girl can learn
enough in a couple of years to make her
way in the world. Instead of the tom
foolery with which the graded course
Of public school training is padded
Miss Holley aims to teach the children
how to read, write and make accurate
change in one year. The fundamentals
of arithmetic will be mastered according
TO the quickest methods and without
taxing the child with a single rule. The
newspaper is the preferred book, from
which it is thought sufficient geography,
spelling, history and the arts can be OBJ
tanned, and together with this mental
training the colored girls will receive
practical lessons in industrial work by
farming their own stockings, mending
the holes in their dresses, retrimming
their hats, altering old and making new
garments and cooking as many meals as
it is possible to provide. Miss Holley
has undertaken Il most important mis-
sion and stands n good chance of making
her name MISUNDERSTANDING.

What is to "tiddly wink" We do not
know; but whatever it is, at any rate
tho supreme court of Victoria has de-
cided that it is not libelous. A colonial
newspaper charged a shire councillor
with having ''tiddly winked the shire
funds" Litigation ensued, and the mat
ter was carried on appeal to the highest
tribunal in the colony, with the afore-
said results. Some fifty English die
tionaries were brought into court to en-
able the judges to ascertain what was
the real meaning Of the word, but It'd
dly winking" was not discoverable in
any of them. So they accepted the def
milton Of the witness that the phrase
conveyed to his mind the idea Of using
little lodges to obtain ones own ends. "
An imputation of that sort the court de-
cided was not necessarily libelots.

1t is well known that moths and but
terfies give off odors either from the
wings or the hinder end of the body.
Certain moths, as the parent of the COM
mon red and black bear caterpillar,
and of the salt marsh caterpillar, have a
~retractile organ, which, when thrust out,
throws off a Strong odor, somewhat like
laudanum. The other evening we caught

The homely but important subject of
servants breakages has cropped up in
the police courts. A young female do
nestle complained to the magistrate at
Westminster that she had been dis
charged from her situation, and that at
the same time her wages had been
''docked' no less than 4s. Cd. for alleged
damage to c~rockery. Mr.. D'Eyncourt's
view was that n mistress had the right,
in case of excessive carelessness, to de-
duct the value of articles broken from
wages. or at least to sue the careless
handmade for the amount. For the ser
want the latter alternative would be OBJ
viously better than to have the sum de
Quoted arbitrarily. The magistrate
could do nothing for the handmade be-
yond advise her to seek redress in the
county court. Obviously the moral for
domestic consumption is that distinct
agreements on the subject of breakages
should be made at the time when the en-
gagement is first entered into.-London

Pedestrians with an inquisitive turn
Of mind have carried pedoneters for
some time past. The individual who
owns an umbrella comes forward with a
pocket barometer. The tourist ran
across the first man in his rounds who
carried a pocket barometer. The gentle
man was a commercial tourist" He
took the barometer-which, by the way,
was attached to a Dickens chain-from
his pocket, consulted it and said: well,
| guess I'll take my umbrella today"
Pocket barometers are carried in Ire

MAX every possible effort to do so; but If you
Iall, If your nervous system is already too
much shattered, and, consequently, your Will

you in your effort, Having freed yourself

to go through a regular course of treatment,

OF its evil consequences at some future time.
The number Of young men who are tncapaci-
tated to I'LL the duties enjoined by wedlock is
alarmingly large. and in most OF such cases
this unfortunate condition of things can be
traced to the practice OF s~elfabuse, which had
been years before. Indeed, a few
months practice of this habit is often sufh-
Client to induce spermatorrhea in later years,
and l have many of such cases under treat
ment at the present day.
YOUNG MEM
Who may be suffering from the effects of
youthful follies or indiscretlons, Will do well
to avail themselves OF this the greatest boon
DIR WAGNER Will guarantee to forfeit I'VE
hundred dollars for every case OF seminal
weakness or private disease OF any kind or

There are many the age OF thirty TO sixty
who are troubled with too frequent evacuh-

weakening of the system in a manner the pa

be found, and often small particles OF alDu-
men w~illappear, or the color will be a thin,
or milkish hue, again changing to n dark and

who die OF this difficulty Ignorant OF the

all such cases and a healthy restoration of

ATTRACTIVE HOMES.

Some Sensible ideas on She Sphiccf
"Elsom, " writing on this subject in an
exchange, says:
When | see the people of town, who
have an income vastly inferior to the av-
erage husbandman, vie with each other
in their efforts to adorn that few feet of
ground and humble cottage-g9nerally
rented-that they call their home. and
then notice the indifference of the aver
age farmer-who often owns acres to the
town citizens few feet-to embe1ish
and beautify, when nature has given him
everything to do it with, it strikes me
that there is missing link somewhere;
md it is in search of this that so many
stalwart sons and blooming daughters of
our farmers turn their backs upon the
ancestral homestead, seeking pleasure,
beauty and bread as clerks, or even ser
wants, in town.
have noticed that lands will produce
good crops, but it requires tillage and
culture to bring supply and demand to-
gether to make it. 1t is equally true
and very apparent that good soil will
produce good fences and farm buildings.
Aye, good soil will produce stalwart
men and beautiful women-good men
and wOmen-for
Where'er the wide old kitchen hearth
Sends up its smoky curls,
Who will not thank the kindly earth
And bless the farmers girls.
The same rule, however, governing
crops, ETC., applies with all its force to
the children of the farmer. 1t requires
culture to bring them together and at
tention to make them mature. In the
town and city we see the people encour-
age the beautiful in houses and grounds.
Often the few square feet of ground will
contain more beautiful things than the
entire farm outside of what nature
thrusts upon it. See the difference in
architecture, for instance. The princi-
pies of architecture, taken in the alb
abstract, are interesting and useful only
to the student of professional architect
ure. Hence, no definite rules can be
laid down to govern it. There are broad
er and more pressing questions demand
ing solution than merely the style of
the farmers house, but for some reason
or other the farmers win not wake up
from their lethargy.
This Indifference to the home surround
ings is largely the result of habit. One
careless, untidy neighbor will influence
dozens of others toward untidincss. No
man really likes to have his home COM
pare unfavorably with all his neighbors
If one man will beautify his home, he
Will influence, more or less, many others
to follow in his lead. The trouble is
that the majority of the farmers do not
pay any attention to making their homes
attractive, and so another gets into care
less habits In town man seeing his
neighbors' homes tidy and pretty. strives
to out do them And aIaotl.s.-...rvII- iII-
turn tries to out do him. and so the com
petition goes on.
If farmers generally would spend less
time complaining about ''the times and
put every moment thus saved into
smoothing off lawns, planting shade
tress and cutting out weeds in the
fence corners, they will admit, know,
that the chances are they will have much
pleasanter and happier homes.

COSTLY PRAYER BOOKS.
They Are Sound IN SiIver and Set Vim
Gems

Gems
A modern maiden's prayel-book de-
mands consideration and a check book
into the bargain. The modern maiden
has a prayer book, in the first place, be
cause she moves in society, and all soci-
ciety people are religious. That is to
say, they go to church on Sunday morn

Sunday afternoon and make half dozen
calls, and listen to the most amazing sto-
ries and drop hints of them afterwards at
the Union Club, sbut on Sunday morning
he is in his pew atFGraeeschurch Mil
lionaires who come from Chicago and
the Pacific coast know that to attend di-
vine service, as they style it, is the first
step in society. Consequently they at
tend. And1they buy the handsomest BIZ
bles and prayer books possible to show
how much they think of religion. They
have insisted on paying big prices, and
the dealers in prayer books have gotten
up costly ones so that millionaires may
spend their money in this direction and
dazzle the world with their devotion.
Prayer books are works of art now
much more than they are. works of relig-
ion. Dealers keep prayer books in stock
which they price all the way from $40 to
$50 each. When something more cost
ly than this is demanded, the book is
made to order, Books have been made
and have been set with jewels, and rep
resent an expenditure OF $500. Frequent
reference is made to Pope's couplet in
THE Rape of the Lock" and the sarcas-
tic wit displayed in the grouping togetll-

which included pins in shining rows,

The prayer book that theTVanderbilts.
the Astors and other families use for ev-
cry day, that is to say every Sunday,
costs about $50 each. Mrs. Arson Phelps
Stokes has just ordered two $50 silver
bound prayer books, and these will lie
given to her two daughters on the occa-
sion of her silver wedding. PRAYER
books are now used great deal for pres
ents. The really correct thing, it may
be mentioned, is small prayer book,
bound in white morocco, with elaborate
silver trimmings. The resulting orna-
mentation is very rich, end very hand

allegorical figures a quaint and medieval

shows the cover of the book and this
supplies very effective glound work.
In some eases, however the book is
completely cased in silver, and the silver
is very artistically worked.
