A Pretty Lamp-Shade.

A very pretty lamp-shade may be
made of satin or taffeta ribbon, with
white cotton lace or embroidered net.
This lace is found in cream or white
only, but at trifling expense may be
dyed scarlet, yellow, pale green, or any
artistic color desirable. After dying
it, match in to the ribbon, as dyers are
not always certain of exactly the shade
they may hit in their work. Make the
lamp-shade three times the circumfer-
ence of the frame on which it is to rest
put alternately of rows of lace and of
ribbon. When it is of sufficient width
shirr it with four or five rows of gather
ing into shape at the top, leaving little
standing ruflle about an inch wide Of
double satin ribbon. The shirring
should be all in the satin on the ribbon.
The new brass frames for these silk
shades are so ventilated at the top
that the heat of the lamp does not
scorch them or turn the color of the
most delicate silk.-Ne,o York Iri-

in pink cotton cambria, on a sum
mer's morning, with rose at her
throat instead of brooch. Simplicity,
simplicity, simplicity-a costly sim
plicity if you will-but let every dress
be one thread, and let no unnecessary
or extraneous trihes be introduced
into it. And after simplicity, or rather
as a consequence of il, comes freshness,
that most desirable quality, which to
woman's clothes is much the same as
fair, healthy skin is to her face, so that
to say of woman, "She always looks
so fresh ~ is to pay the highest of all
compliments to herself and her miliner.
Take your complexion first. Are you
fair, with blue eyes? Then you can
wear every shade of blue, from azure
down TO violet, but if you have gray,
green or brown eyes you will only
create a dscordancy if you suffer a
morsel of blue near you. On the other
hand, perfectly fair, green-eyed
woman adds weirdness and charms to
her fairness when she arrays herself in
all the paler shades of green, and she
reigns triumphant in the knowledge
that not even the clearest-skinned
bruno dares to emulate her. For
brunes, scarlet and amber, white and
orange, though if there be the smallest
tint of yellow in the skin, orange may
be only ventured on at night. Some
women who might come under the
heading of blondes stand vivid yellows
and oranges well; still there must be
certain amount of color in the face and
skin transparently fair. But up to
the age of forty, and frequently beyond
it, the healthy, fresh-looking woman is
at her very best in white, as often
oddly enough, judging by the law f
contrasD she is at her worst in black.
Give her white morning wrapper or
a cotton dress, or even white muslin
bib to her dark dress, and she looks
fairer and more rosy than in an unre-
lieved winter gown. Many woman
sitting up in her white bed, with only
white cambria and embroidery about
her, will strike one as a sweetly pretty
creature who in dark clothes would
never arrest our attention.-LOndon

Restless HOusewOrkers.

One of the results of the higher edu-
cation of women and of the increasing
avocations opening everywhere to them
Is certain restlessness among simple
girls trained to kitchen work in their
own home. They instinctively long
for something better than they have
KNOWN" and in thus longing become
day-dreamers and slatternly workers at
home. This is only one of the many in
stances that in proportion as the means
for intellectual training has increased
the respect for manual work has de-
creased. All this the training-schools
for manual workers are trying to cure.
1t is not true of woman's work to any
such extent as it is of mans work. 1t
has long been the misfortune of the
country that trades and mechanical
callings were filed with untutored for
eigners, who were not in sympathy
with the country, its laws and institu-
tons, and that our youth were driven
to professions where the competition
was so great that they could barely make
livelihood. Respect for manual work,
and such competition in manual work as
shall call for only the best quality of
work, and pay it in proportion to its quail
ity, is the only cure for this condition.
When women find they can make liv-
ing by their housewifely skill, as they
can by teaching, they will be less rest
less. When it becomes the practice of
fathers and brothers, and even husbands,
to allow their daughters, sisters and
wives in the kitchen a money allowance
for their work, as they would to son or
brother who was skilled workman at
trade and devoted his time to them,
there will be less restlessness. House
work to women in farm-houses, and
everywhere where women do their own
work, means great deal of hard drudg-
cry and in many cases unpaid drudgery.
The head of the house banks the profits
of the savings in the kitchen. In some
cases the wife dies, and her children
are no sharers in the profits she has
helped to pile up. A fairer, younger
woman may take her place, and per-
suade the father to leave his first wife's
children penniless, although they
should be, on their mothers account,
owners at least of her share of the
home savings, whatever disposition
their father might make of his money,
Until justice is rendered to working
women by those who, while they love
and cherish them, are frequently obliv-
ious OF their pecuniary needs, there
will continue to be restessness among
these unpaid household drudges. -NelO
York Tribune.

made by Rev. William Byrne, Colonel
Charles II. Taylor, Colonel T. w. Hig-
ginson, General b. F. Butler, Rev. E.
II. Capen and E. G. Walker. The
speech of p. A. Collins-a gem of elo-
quence and pathos-was as follows:
" For Lycidas is dead ere his prime
and has not left peer.
Even in this solemn hour of
public mourning it seems hard to
realize that we shall see him no
more. Men who knew us both
will expect from me no eulogy
of Boyle O'Reilly. You mourn the
journalist, the orator, the poet, the pa
triot of two peoples, the strong, tender,
true and knightly character. mourn

But, after all, the dead speak for them
selves. No friend in prose or verse
can add cubit to his stature. No foe,
however mendacious, can lessen his
fame or the love humanity bears him.
Yet we owe, not to him, but to the liv-
ing and to the future, these manifold
expressions of regard-these estimates
of his worth. The feverish age needs
always teaching. Here was branded

mainly and asked no return. Take the
lesson of his life to your hearts, young
men, you who are scrambling and
wrangling for petty dignities and small
honors. This man held no Office and
had no title. The man was larger than
any Office and no title could ennoble
him. He was born without an atom of
prejudice, and he lived and died with
out an evil or ungenerous thought.
He was Irish and American; intensely
both, but more than both. The world
was his country and mankind was his
kin. Often he struck, but he always
struck power, never the helpless. He
seemed to feel with the dying regicide
in Les Miserables, / weep with you
for the son of the king, murdered in
the temple, but weep with me for the
children of the people--they have suf-

and branded; officially called rebel,
traitor, convict and felon, wherever
the red flag floats; denied the sad priv
ilege of kneeling on the grave of his
mother; thus died this superb citizen
of the great republic. But his soul
was always free-vain are all mortal in
terdicts. BY the bank of that lovely
river, where the blood of four nations
once commingled, in sight of the mon
ument to the alien victor, hard by the
great mysterious Rath, over one sane
tilted spot dearer than all others to him,

green, the spirit of O'Reilly lowered,
and shook the stiffness of the Irish

You see their fragrant blossoms nodding,

The little tendrils cleave and cling;
The vine, unheld, in dust was lying

Unquickened at the summers kiss,

But now it blooms again like this.

always be prevented if taken in time.
Among the first symptoms will be noticed
a nervousness or reStleSSneSS, with freak and
