There's much to be done with the modern
woman by means of judicious silver tempt
ationS.
The little ring stands are among the clev-
crest of recent novelties. For the writing
table comes coil of bright colored candle
cord running up to burn at the heart of a
silver flower, over which, when the sealing
wax has been melted, comes down a little
silver night cap for snuffer. The silver
trowel for the conservatory, the little silver
boxes for nail and glove powder, the silver
trays for hairpins and hat pins, the silver
jars full OF perfume, the cruel-looking out
beautiful silver daggers, the silver-handled
busters, that are tiny but may cost $50, the
puff boxes, the small hand mirrors and
smaller pocket mirrors, the fan chains and
falcons, the silver curling tongs, the cologne
TASKS, the glove stretchers, the odor boxes
and censers for Turning incense, all these
and a thousand other trifies beguile the
dollars of the fashionable woman.

Her Services Recognized in a Most impress

A splendid heroine is Sister Marie
Therese, the Superior of the Sisters of
Mercy, now in Tonkin, who was lately
created Knight of the Legion of Hon
or, the Governor-General drawing his
sword in the presence of the assembled
garrison, and lightly touching the Shout
der of this venerable and devoted lady
thrice with the glittering weapon as he
pronounced the stirring words: ''In the
name of the French people, in the name
of the French army, present you with
this Cross of Honor. No one has more
glorious claims to this reward, as no one
has more than you devoted a whole life
to the service of the country" The
troops were then ordered to present
arms" and the ceremony concluded as
impressively as it had begun. The Gov
ernor-General was not indulging in any
figure of speech when he thus addressed
this heroic lady, for such record as hers
is not an ordinary one.s Sister Marie
Therese had barely attained her

The italian campaign was her next ex-
perience, and again she was wounded at
Magenta, in the forefront of the French
army. In Syria, in China and in Next
CO. she was at her post alternating the
sufferings of the sick and wounded; but
the most splendid achievement of all
was at ReichshOfen. On that field
which the French remember with pride,
calling to mind the gallant behavior of
their cuirassiers-Sister Marie Therese
was picked up badly wounded amid the
bodies of the slain; but her injuries did
not long detain her from her work of
mercy, and shortly afterwards a shell
having fallen close to the ambulance
entrusted to her care, she took the mis-
sile up and carried 1t to some distance,
when it burst, again wounding her Sc
verely. She had hardly recovered from
these terrible injuries when she was
summoned to Tonkin. and nobly re-
sponded to the call. Such is the woman
whose heroism has been publicly recog-
nized, just as she has attained the age
Of three-score years and ten.-London

ForgetfnIness of the World of Those Who
Hav. Written Our Sweetest Songs.
The personal identity and circum-
stances OF those who have written the
favorite hymns of the people is sub
iect full Of interest to thousands of peo-
pie both within and without the
churches. Edward Box says that as a
rule hymns are not high-priced commod
tiles in the literary market, the royal
ties are small. and the authors name is
generally lost sight of, even ifthe hymn
achieves worldwide fame. LAS an ex-
ample, question whether there are one
hundred persons to-day who know that
the author of The Sweet Bye-and-Bye,'
is living in an obscure Illinois town, and
not amid the greatest luxury, either.
Tens of thousands, perhaps millions of
people. know the hymn; how many ever
think of Dr.. $. Fillmore Bennett, it's
aged author? The hymn has brought
him almost no revenue and even less
fame. Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks is
another in ;tanca, living in small in
terror New York town, compelled to re-
sort to her pen for living, yet who has
not sung her world-fam0us hymn 1

Fanny Crosby, she of hundreds of
hymns that are sung every Sunday by
thousands of lips lives in side street

though blind and helpless, She is happy
in the religion which fills her mind and
soul. There seems something in these
cited cases which is not altogether right
this entire forgetfGiness of a busy
world of those who have made our
sweetest songs. And 50 | say there is
but little encouragement in the writing
Of hymns. Not only is the author poorly
paid for the work, then almost entirely
forgotten. but the additional stigma is
offered of having the hymn embodied
into hundreds of collections without
cent of revenue accruing to the author.
The small pittance given to the author
when the hymn is first published is Oft
times the only remuneration. "-Chlcago

ALWAYS DRESS WELL.
Indifference TO Personal Appearance Not

Indifference
Mark of intellectually.
There are people of intelligence who
labor under the delusion that careless
ness in dress is an indication of intel
lectual ability. This was believed to be
particularly true, in former times. Of
women whom the world called blue
stockings.
There is nodegree of intelligence that
can excuse slovenliness. Rags and dirt
are the insignia of vice and laziness
much more frequently than of poverty
that has resulted from misfortune which
could not be avoided.
Every man and every woman should
appear before the world with cleanly and
well-lnade garments, so far as it lies in
their power to do so. OF course, the me-
chanic who works in the shop or foun-
dry from seven in the morning until six
at night, u the farmer who must feed

is not expected to appear in spotless
linen and polished boots. But he
can tidy himself when he comes
home in the evening, and sit down
among his family clearly and whole
some. A bath and some change ofcloth-
ing is the best relief for fatigue; in
fnitelv more refreshing than slothful
ease enjoyed in a cloud OF tobacco smoke
in clothing stained with the dust and
persp.ration of the days labor. 1t may
also be urged that it is a difficult under
taking for tired mother, with a family
of little children to look after, who
must do all the work unaided. to keep
them and herself always sweet and
clean. But there are thousands of wom-
en- who do so, who make their homes
haven of rest place where comfort
and order prevail always. A guest
should always honor his host by appear
+ ing at his best not only at his best in
temper and manner, but he should show
in his apparel that he has considered
the invitation an honor conferred. and
he would no sooner mar the feast To
which he has been hidden by careless
and untidy dress than by disregard Of
the prophecies, or by coarseness of
speech or manner. 1t is a recognition
of the honor paid the guest that he
should add in every possible way to the
entertainment provided him, and his
own self-respect should forbid that he
be conspicuous from any lack in dress,
which is the worst possible incivility.-

CULTIVATION OF CORK.
Stripping the Tree of It's Bark Every
Eight or Ten Years.


Eight Ten Years.
Corks are an article of convenience to
which little attention is commonly
given, and yet immense fortunes have
been made in their production Their
cultivation and manufacture form an
important item in the industries OF
Spain An account of this from Mr..
DAVIS work on that country is OF in
terest
The cork tree is an oak which grows
best in poorest soil. 1t will not endure
frost and must have sea air. and also~an
altitude above the sea level. 1t IS
found only along the coast of SPAIN
the northern coast of Africa and the
northern shores of the Mediterranean
There are two banks to the tree, u 9
outer one being stripped for use. Inc
cork is valuable according as 1t IS SOIL
and velvety.
The method of cultivatiTg it is in
teresting. When the sapling is about
ten wears old it is stripped of its outer
bark for about two feet from the ground;
the tree will then be about five inches
in diameter, and say six feet up to the
branches. This stripping is worthless.
The inner bark appears blood red, and
if it is split or injured the tree dies.
After eight or ten years the outer
bark has again grown in, and then the
tree is again stripped four feet from the
roots. This stripping is very coarse and
is used as floats for fishing nets. Every
ten years thereafter it is stripped, ana
each year two feet higher up, until the
tree is forty or fifty years old, when II
is in its prime, and may then be stripped
every ten years from the ground to the
branches. and will last two hundred
4 years. 1t is about twenty years before
/ any thing can be realized from the tree,
/ and for this reason the Spanlards, who
are not fond of looking after posteriIy'
plant few new trees.
