Appointed to West Point.

Capt. Goodale of the United States army,
who is temporarily stationed here on re-
cruiting service has received information
that his son George had passed the exami-
nation and had received an appointment as
cadet to West Point from Colorado. An
appointment of this kind is always made
upon merit alone, and if the young man re-
sembles his father THE GAZETTE will vouch
for his graduation with honors.

Decorating the Home.

One needs to live II little while in a house
before completely furnishing it; possibilities
dawn upon the woman of taste by degrees,
and it is far more interesting to add pic.
ture here, statuette there. a little stand
in this corner and a portiere over too OBJ
trusive door from time to time than to do
it all at once. 1t gives one something to
look forward to. Whatever II woman 5
position, she should have voice in deco.
rating her own house.
A home ought TO be an expression of the
people who inhabit it, it should partale of
their individuality, and it cannot do this if
everything is put into the hands of pro-
fessional decorator. A woman should have
a scheme of color and an idea Of her own
for every room; then she can let what aid
she needs in carrying it out from the best
furniture and carpet warehouses, where
there is always n head man Of taste who is
ready TO give advice.
In one of the most charmingly furnis he'd
homes in the city, where the rich emorod-
cry of some of the hangugs, the exquisite
ly draped toilet table, beds and mantels,
the tasteful arrangement OF furniture and
bric-a brac and the luxurious divans and
couches, with large, soft silken pillows
and cushions, all give the impression OF "A
lavish expenditure of money. The hand
of the mistress did much of the work,
while she personally planned and super
vised the whole-Art Interchange.

Where the BlaIne Iies.

The eminent DR.. Richardson, of London,
says that three or four studies are as much
as any boy ought to pursue at once, and it
Is quite enough for girls. Why should
they not be nervous and hysteric when
everything in their training tends to make
them SOY These effects show in the de-
facement of the fresh beauty of childhood,
in the diuphanous paleness of delicate girls
who grow peaked in II weeks illness; pasty,
pale salloWucss which freckles easily; in
the brunettes, who should be blooming
like the rose, but instead have dark rings
around the eyes at nineteen, or at best take
on uniform dead tint, neither sallow nor
bilious, spotted nor coarse, but wholly
wanting the charms of color on lip and
check.
And these girls are to be the mothers of
men! No wonder their progeny have weak
hearts and nervous organizations too SEN
stive to meet the strains of lfe-men who
can neither bear poverty nor failure, but
losing their money must end everything
with pistol shot. 1t is Il question whether
there is enough of such creatures to de.
velop a soul il any of them.-Shirley Uare's

why Many Costumes Are Alike.

In the many years | have studied fash
ions | have always noticed how few
dressmaliers bother about ideas in dress.
They all see the advantage of preferring
trimming to ideas. Ideas are trouble
some, take precious time and they are
seldom perceptible enough to warrant
adding to the bills. Couturieres cannot
lengthen the list of findings with so many
hours of insomnia for the invention of cut,
for grace in folding, for comfort in perfect
fit, for discrimination of iinperfectons in
shape and the bringing out of the individ-
ual good points of each customer.
No. it is impossible to make each indi.
vidual woman pey for individual ideas and
time on each dress, and bankruptcy would
be the result, for much money is wanted
to pay hands, rent, waste and all the rest
of the heavy expenses. Beside, a dress
maker is fully aware that only connos-
seurs will notice small changes, and as
there is perhaps not one knowing one in
the hundred women who are able to pay
big bills, why should she trouble about
ideas that do not pay nearly as well as
trimming s?-Paris Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.

In Holland the housckecpcr is poor in
deed who cannot boast of linen closet, be
it ever so humble. II is worthy the name if
the stock on hand in the beginning num-
bers but dozen pieces; and it is surprising
how it will grow by occasionally adding an
article. There is an untold pleasure to the
housekeepcr Of limited means in accumula-
ting linen piece by piece, which the one with
full pocketbook to store the entire closet
Mt once knows nothing about. To accom-
pish this result it is well for such young
wife to know that it is better to put by one
good dinner cloth, sheet or towel than two
poor, tiimsy ones. The process of accumu-
IatlnS in this way may be slow, but in the
end 1T Will be found the only one that is
satisfactory.
After the linen closet is established, the
next consideration is the care of it; and
the fastidious housekeeper will pride her
self IN nothing more than in the keeping
OF her linen pure, unimpeachably clean
and snowy white To this end know of
nothing better than the use of refined
borax, with due regard of course to prop
er washing, blueng, rinsing, etc. In iol-
land and Belgium the washerwomen I'M
derstand the virtues Of boraX, and use it
not only for washing, but also for bleach
ing, softening water and improving starch
and their fame has gone out to the utter
most parts of the earth Their linen is as
famous for wilderness as the under linen of
the witches in Tam OShanter. The pro-
portion of powdered borax used is large
handful to about ten gallons of boiling
water. The finest fabric is not injured by
its use, and the clothes are made beauti-
fully white with less labor and with about
one-half the quantity of soap.--Pittsburg
