Pretty Dresses for the Home.

Many of the actresses, who are as
particular about their house as their
stage dresses, wear a long coat or opera
cloak, tightly girdled at the waist and

white petticoat. A lady up town, a
doctor by profession and something of
a crank on hygienics, wears cheese

Here is another of the stories which
the people of Journalists, in Belgium,
tell at the expense of their neighbOrs of
tie prosperous village of Vezon:
At one time-the morning of hoi-
day-the male inhabitants of Vezon
were discovered in a great state of par
ley and perplexity in a field close by
the village church. They had come
out with a strong resolve to play ball,
and had discovered that the field was
too narrow.
"Ah," said the burgomaster, "here
comes Peter Corbeau, who made the
mistake of studying to be a lawyer. He
is wise in devices; he shall decide what
we shall do"
Master Corbeau looked over the situa-
ton. There is nothing to do but to
move the church, he said.
So the villagers all took off their
jackets and threw them down in heap;
and to determine how far they must
push the church they measured the dis
lance from the heap of jackets to the
church and found it to be exactly ten
yards Then they all braced them
selves against the church and pushed
with might and main
Toward moor they stopped for rest
and to gather strength for further push.
ing. But somebody now measured the
distance from the pile of jackets and
discovered that happily it was not nee
essary to push any more, because the
measurement showed that the church
had been moved back ten yards.
Then they fell to their game Of bal
and did not find out for some time the
while they were hard at work pushing

Scallop Shells.

In olden times when pilgrims came
from the Holy Land they wore as an
emblem of their vows a pretty brown
and white shell, called st. James shell,
now better known as a scallop shell.
Large shells of this kind were early
utilized as baking dishes, and have
given their name to great number OF
excellent scalloped or ''escallOped"
preparations of fish and meat OF late
years luxurious taste has demanded
something more costly, and silver shells
in the shape of the old sea shell, at $50
a dozen, have taken the place of
scalIop shells at sixty cents a dozen.
The smaller scallop shells are exceed
ingly pretty for many decorative pur-
poses. Their wavy shape and delicate
hues of brown and cream are so beau
tiful that they have been used for fancy
work by many people who would have
been shocked if they had known the
shell was as common as an oyster, and
was thrown away from our market
stalls by the bulk.

A New Violet Discovered.

1T is the sweetest flower I ever
knew" said Miss Brewing, the well
known Baltimore florist, displaying a
new violet just discovered by Mr.. A. P.
Gordon Cumming on his place, near
Sykesville, Md The foliage leaves on
this violet are longer than the ordinary
wild or cultivated violet. The flower
leaves of the new violet are a soft
white, striped or mottled with light and
dark purple. Unlike the other cult
waited violets, the new one is single
violet. All the cultivated violets
have hitherto, without exception, been
double Single violets, until this dis
covery of Mr. Cummings, have been
without perfume, but the Sykesville
cultivated single violet has wealth OF
rich perfume which cannot be sur
passed. Those wonderfully sweet plants,
Daphne, Odora and Oleo Fragrans, do
not give off more delightful odors than
this new violet.-Baltimore Sun.

A special collection was announced
for the day in a Scotch church, but rs
the purse strings of the old farmers
were known to be pretty tightly tied
the collection was to be taken up in the
old fashioned ladle after the delivery OF
a stirring discourse on giving and the
excellencies Of the scheme in question.
About the middle of the sermon the
minister, happening to look out of the
window, spied a COW wading about IL
the adjoining cornffeld. Turning to.
ward one of the side seats, where sal

of the COW also, he stopped his sermon

The Futile Scheme of a Tramp.

An attempt was made to wreck the
Tacoma bound Northern Pacific train
at Linton, seven miles north of Port
land, Ore The train was suddenly
tagged by a tramp named f. s. lay
lor, who told a strange story of an en-
counter with train wreckers. He said
that while walking on the road to Port
land he saw three men piling old ties
and fallen trees high on the track.
When they saw him they put a pistol
to his head and made him take seat
on log and keep quiet while they
proceeded with their work. Their work
so engrossed them that he managed to
slip away unnoticed just in time to pre-
vent a wreck.
TAYLOR was taken aboard the train
and treated like prince. He was sent
back from Centralia, and Sheriff Kelly
took charge of him to get a description
of the wreckers Taylor claimed that
he knew nothing about the country,
but he was so minute in his details in
describing the distractions piled on the
track that the sheriff suspected some
thing. Finally, he turned to Taylor,
saying: you did this" Taylor wilted,
and confessed and told all. He said he
piled the stuff on the track and pre-
vented a wreck for the purpose of be-
ing richly rewarded by the company.
He was arrested and is now in jail.
There were 200 passengers on the train.

College Men as Athletes.

During the year 1889 the newer men
in amateur athletics came mainly from

asked-not so often answered whether
college athletes, as class, are not bet

One Need Have but Few Friends.

To exchange calls and dinner invita-

friendship; although many relations

querade under that name. There arc
plenty of people fitted out with relay
of substantial qualities and pleasing at

extensive outer court of acquaintance.

conformity, cultivated taste and pow

friends, in any genuine sense, one can

quite enough to make life beautiful anG

one is more than perhaps the majority

Sleep Talking and Insomnia.

A well known authority on the sub
iect of insomnia says he has known
many persons, of all ages and both
sexes, in perfect health who could not
hold their tongues when asleep. This
habit is due to indigestion or to cere-
bral irritability. The remedy is an early
meal before going to bed, taking half a
pint of cold spring water before putting
the head ON the pillow, and always
sleeping on the right side-never on the
back. In case of premature wakeful-
ness, copious draught of water usual
Iy reinduces sleep. The topical appli-
cation of cold is a very harmless and
potent anesthetic remedy; in concus-
sion of the brain especially so. In the
feverish delirium of tropical climates it
acts like a charm and often produces
sleep. An OK bladder or light rubber

Lean Year superstitions.

The ancient Romans considered the
bis-sextile or leap day. a critical day
in their calendar, always reckoning ii
as being among their unlucky days.
That this belief has not by any means
lost ground is evidenced by the deep
rooted dislike parents have to a child
being born on leap day." it being a
popular notion that to come into the
world at such an odd time is ominous
as signifying the child's speedy exit.
A variety of this superstition exists in
Tuscany, and, in fact, in many other
European countries. According to Tus-
can folk lore child born Feb. % will
not live to see another leap day." or,
if it does, it will be motherless. In
Austria a child born in the forenoon
on Feb. % becomes a great parsonage;
if in the afternoon, a robber; after
night, a murderer. Other notions of
this sort, modified to suit whims and
fancies exist in the various countries
of the world st. Louis Republic.
