The Trials Of Winter.

Winter is trying period, even to
those who have strong constitutions,
but it is doubly trying TO those who
are weak aud delicate, or who have a
tendency to the various diseases that
are bred and fostered in the stagnant
atmosphere OF closed and heated
houses. The system should be kept
strengthened and toned up with a
liberal course OF ;. ;. s, the great
blood tonic and purifier. Ii acts like
a charm. Ii increases the appetite,
soothas the nerves, and beauties the
complexion-in short, il makes life
well worth living.

Found in n Theater.

The manager of New York theater
says that handful of dainty handker-
chiefs are left in his theater every
night He has room set apart for
articles picked up in the auditorium
after the play. Among the ''inds," are
glasses, opera glasses, rings, breastpins,
cuff buttons and jewelled garters. Once
he found baby. That was long while
ago--not in New York, but in town on
the Arkansas circuit. The baby-a lit
tie girl-had been left in chair. 1t
was wrapped in shawl. The actors
made inquiries everywhere for the
waits parents, but never could find the
slightest clew to them. So an actress
of the company took the little one in
her keeping, fell in love with her, and
the waif is one of the brightest
soubrettes on the American stage to-
day.-Boston Herald. 81

1t is a singular fact that the only
house ever built in Washington City by
the Father OF His Country is still stand
ing on North Capital street, in that city,
in comparative obscurity. Few Wash
ington people know of its existence,
and it is never pointed out as struct-
ure of historic interest The reason for
this lies probably in the fact that the
house, as ordinarily built, contained
three stories, but when the street was
graded two more stories were added,
and the building is now used as hotel.
1t is said that some of the rooms in this
old building are in much the same con-
dition as when occupied by Washing
toms family in 1792.-St Paul Pioneer

Gauntlets for Ladies'.

A marked feature in winter gloves Is
the gauntlets, which are this year made
high and stiff, the majority perfectly
plain and the glove secured by two
patent fastenings. Some of the smart
vanities have designs stamped on the
gauntlet or have Vandy ked edges, and
manufacturers are bringing out an en-
broidered glove in imitation of the
richly decorated gloves Of the seven
teenth century. Fine French white
doeskin are made up for tennis with the
gauntlets piped with color, and cape
gloves for driving, made in close imi-
tation Of crocodile hide, come in tan and
black. The cherrette make are pique
sewn with spear points, like those worn
by men, and come in scented Russian
leather as we'll as tan and black. Shop
ping gloves are of dogskin, cut and
stitched with varied welts of leather on
the back like gentlemen's gloves, and
have large buttons. They are worn
with very smart street dresses as we'll
as the plain ones, and are occasionally
seen at the theater. Evening gloves
are of undressed kid, stitched and sewn
very daintily with thread of contrast
ing color Gloves with the tiny purse
in the palm are to be had in French kid
now as we'll as suede, and promise to be
we'll worn. Black is the favorite color
for evening gloves, especially among
young ladies.-N Y. Sun

FOUGHT IN EARNEST.
A Marshal Who was Bound to Take His
Man.


Thirty years ago he was deputy
marshal in Nevada, says the Anaconda
Standard of local celebrity. He started
out one day to arrest gambler who
had killed man over a game OF cards.
The gambler knew that the marshal
was seeking him, but with cool effront-
cry, walked about the streets all day.
John-that is the deputy marshal
heard that the man he wanted was in
well-known bar-room. He set out for
the place, and carelessly walked boldly
into the room. He had not crossed the
threshold when he found himself look
ing into the barrel of six-shooter.
"Come, Hardy" he said, cody, this
won't do. I've come to get you, and l
want you"
''See here, john" said the gambler.
81 don't want to kill you, but l won't
let any man arrest me. Go away and let
me alone"
mo, want you," said the marshal,
quietly. "Put down the six-shooter and
come with me-"
''Tll see you shot first" said Hardy.
81 can't help that" said the other. 81
must have you. Now, you have the
drop on me, but you must come with me
Or kill me in cold blood"
81 don't wantt kill you," said Hardy.
"Then put down your gun"
John, won't be arrested. Don't
touch me. don't want to shoot a man
without cause"
i've got to do it, Hardy"
"See here" said the gambler, turning
white, ''if you move foot I'll kill you.
But hate to be a coward. That was
fair and square last night. We both
pulled together"
The marshal shook his head
'Ill do one thing, john" Hardy went
on. ''Pll back up to that wall. You'll
back up to the other. I'll draw my re-
volver to my hip and you can draw
yours. Then it's the best man"
The marshal moved backward to the
wall, and Hardy did the same. The1
the marshal drew his revolver and hel(
it at his side. muzzle down. All thil
time Hardy had kept his weapon lev
eled at the marshal. Slowly his arm
sunk until the weapon touched the sean
of his trousers.
Both men were perfectly calm and i'm
movable, the marshal determined-look
ing, the gambler still pale.
"Now, john" said Hardy. Instant.
both weapons went up. 1t was all ovel
SO quickly that both men went to the
floor together. But Hardy had fired to-
soon. His ball went at an upward an
gle, and grazed the marshals temple
But the marshal had sent his bulle
straight into Hardy's heart, and ther
was no need to arrest the gambler. =

ORNAMENTAL FERNERIES.
An Attractive Object for Household
Beautification.


Identification.
There is no ornament of the dining
room or drawing-room that will give
more genuine pleasure than fernery.
If this is grown in close glass case it
will require very little care. The most
attractive ferneries are made up of ferns
and Towering plants taken from our
native forests, Almost any woodland
blossom will thrive we'll in the moist
atmosphere of the fernery. All that is
necessary for fernery is deep sink
or galvanized iron box (such as any tin
smith can make) to receive the earth,
and bell case of glass fitted over it.
If the fernery is to be large less ex-
pensive case may be made of sheets of
clear plate glass put together in frame
like window to form dome over the
metal box. A molding of wood should
cover the line where the case fits over
the edge of the fern box.
1t is good plan to get carpeter to
sink the box of the fernery into an or
dinary square table of wood of suitable
size Brake, ferns of all kinds dainty
marsh grasses, trailing arbutus, fra
grant fragile pyrola blossoms, which
yield perfume as delicate and intense
as hyacinths, and modest blue hepaticas
will all flourish in such case. The
plants of trailing arbutus bud in the
fall and if those that are budded are
taken up, now, and planted in fernery
they will yield wealth of exquisite
bloom before f February. The bulbs of
the great white trillium are now sold
by our florists, and if you do not know
when to go to the woods for them this
will be more convenient way of OBJ
tanning two or three of these marvel
lously beautiful plants. No one can
fully appreciate its beauty who has not
seen the great white trillium growing
in the forest, and after perhaps long
search in the spring been rewarded by
sight of the stately pure white flowers
growing among the dead leaves amidst
the dry stocks and other ghosts Of last
years vegetation.-N. Y. Tribune.

TOO OLD.

AT eleven-how you loved me-
How you Rugged me with delight,
And you never hesitated
Begging of ME pennies bright
And you kept it up till sixteen
Though your kisses lapsed to few;
And at last you ceased to hug me
AS you fondly used to do.
Then they put you in long dresses,
And your hugs and kisses dear
Were denied me-you were aged
was aged, too, fear.
How slyly watched your bushes
AS they used to come and go;
You were growing to woman,
was growing old and slow.
But it seems the heart pulsating
In my bosom turned to youth;
Then it throbbed away it's sadness
When 1 found I'd learned the truth.
He was younger, he was fairer,
And think, moreover, bold,
And he won what fates denied me,
Just because was too old.
