What a Lady Does Not DO.

There are several things always alb
sent in true lady, which girls will do
well to notice and remember. A lady,
for example, will never ignore little
kinduesses. Conclude in crowd that
she has a right to push her way through.
Consume the time Of people who can
i'll 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 thread
and few stitches would make it all
right. Fail in answering letters or re-
turning visits, unless she is i'll or in
trouble. Fret about the heat or the
cold, the sun or the rain, the air or the
lack of il. Make an engagement and
then not be on time. Complain of her
family, or discuss personal affairs with
strangers. Always believe the worst
rather than the best side of story. A
lady does not do any other than make
the best of everything-the world, the
weather and herself. She believes in
the golden rule, and endeavors, as far
as possible, to live up to it; and that's
what you and ought to promise every
morning that we will try and do during
the day.

Lost Specimens.

The man who said jestingly that the
chief use Of going to school and col
lege was to get stories to tell for the
rest of ones life was not without GER
tain foundation for his words, since no
anecdotes are more constantly repeated
than those which belong to this part Of
life. Graduates who left the Boston
Latin school half dozen years ago,
for instance, are always pleased to tell
what happened toa preceptor there who
had awakened much interest in natural
history among his pupils by the use OF
the microscope. He was in the habit
of bringing specimens to school, and
one morning an assistant found him
grovelng about the floor an empty box
in his hand and an expression of
the deepest CONSERVATION on his face.
"Oh, I've done the most dreadful
thingm he exclaimed. "I've dropped
my box and spilled all my specimens. -
Cant you pick them up?" asked the
other. Oh, no." replied the natural
list, with groan; 81 haven't made out
to catch a single one" "What were
they?" asked the assistant, obligingly
STOPPING down to assist in the search.
"Forty live heas," was the startling
answer. The assistant sprang up like
flash. "Don't you think" he said.
laughingly, "that the pupils may be
trusted to pick up the whole forty, il
you give them time enough?"-EG.

Watching Kills Love.

Do you know, think that air of pos .
sessOrship. that eXactingness of owner
ship, displayed by some wives toward
their husbands, does more to murder
love than poisoned dagger. When
see a wife cycling her husband out Of
the corner of her eyes because he
chances to be talking to another woman,
or questioning him too closely as to his
occupation when absent from her side
| know that marital love between the
two is but chain whereby she drags
an unwilling captive. EXactingness
kills love as tight string chokes the
brightness out of bunch of flowers.
For mercy's sake, madam, if your hus-
bands love can not be kept without
watching, is it worth the keeping? A
rose that has to be watched and picked
apart to make it bloom is not the rose
for me. Take my word for it, there would
be lots more happiness in the world were
there less of the spirit of ownership,
less miserable jealousy and foolish eX-
action. can believe in great passion
that should make an Othello out of a
gentle and faithful nature or a Norma
out of wronged and ardently loving
woman, but | can not understand the
stupid, tiresome espionage of suspi-
cious nature that gloats over possession

Not to BE Smoked Out.

Some Edinburgh students on a foot
ball tour to Glasgow wished to secure
a carriage all to themselves. Just as
the train was about to start, up rushed
an old woman, who sought to push her
way into the carriage. To deter her
one of the students exclaimed: my
good woman, this is a smoking com
partment, don't you know" "Weel,
weel, returned the old woman, "never
mind, III make it dae," and in she
went. " Smoke her out" was the
word passed as soon as the train started.
Accordingly all the windows were
closed fast, every pipe was taken out,
and soon the carriage was completely
filled with a dense cloud of tobacco
smoke. The effect, however, was not
all that could have been anticipated.
The old woman seemed in the height
of enjoyment; but one of the young
men began to show decided symptoms
of being exceedingly sick. Taking his
pipe from his mouth, he leaned back
with detected air, whereupon the old
woman, leaning forward, said in a
wheedling tone, I" If we are dune, sir,
Wi yer pipe, would you kindly gle me
bit draw, as | forgot mine in my
hurry TO catch the train. "-ScouiSh

have seen the plain black with them
for several days journey as far as the
eye could reach. They seemed to be
coming northward continually from the
distant plains to the Platte to get water,
and would plunge in and swim across
by thousands-so numerous were they
that they changed not only the color of
The water, but its taste, until it was uu-
fit to drink; but we had to use it, One
night when we were encamped on the
South Fork of the Platte they came in
such droves that we had to sit up and
fire guns and make what fires we could
to keep them from running over us aud
trampling us into the dust. We could
hear them laundering all night long;
the ground fairly trembled with vast
approaching bands; and if they had not
been diverted, wagons, animals, and
emigrants would have been trOddcn

Hints to the Unfortunate.

A few suggestions, culled from ac-
counts in the daily press of cases of
accidental death during the past
week, may prove of service to those
who are not ingenious enough to think
of them for themselves: CD Mix some
coarse flour and strychnine to kill the
rats with, then place the mixture in
a jar similar and as near rs possible to
that containing the family oatmeal.
Prepare To shed this mortal coil! (2)
Place some laudauum in an empty
medicine bottle, and stand it alongside
a bottle OF physic on table by your
bedside: take a dose from the nearest
bottle in the dark; ten chances to one
it's the laudanum. (3) Pour some car
bolic acid into bver-bottle, cork it,,
and put aside in cool spot; the next
person who comes along with " a mouth
on him will find it vast improve
ment on common or ginger beer. (4)
Smear piece OF bread with phosphorus
paste (ough on rats) and leave it in a
cupboard well within reach of maraud-
ing Youngsters; if their lives are in
sured, You will have no reason TO re-
greet the eXpcriment.-HoSpital Gazette.

Pretty Things for HOusekeepers.

AS artistic taste in home decoration

form abates, and people no longer pine
10 transform innocent domestic uten-
sils into painted and be-ribboned mural

els are noble in their way, and shine
with the beauty of fitness in the
kitchen, where their manifest destiny
finds fufilment, but let us see them no
more masking as photograph-holders on

eedle or brush now most sought for is

dorado TAFT, the gifted young
Chicago sculptor whose statue of Gen
eral Grant is so highly spoken of, has
been engaged to execute the portrait
bust of Miss Susan B. Anthony, a testi-
monial from women of the United

as pioneer. 1t is thought that a young
man of noble life and American ideas
is the one to do this piece of sculpture,
which will be ready in time for the
