Every Watch n Compass.

4 few days ago / was standing by
an American gentleman, when L eN-
pressed wish to know which point
was north. He at once pulled out his
watch, looked at it, and pointed to the
north. asked him whether he had a
compass attached to his watch. "All
Watches" he replied, 'are compass
es.' Then he eX Xplained to me how
this was. Point the hour hand to the
sun and the south is exactly hall way
between the hour and the figure Nil,
on the watch. For instance, suppose
that it is four o'clock. Point the
hand indicating four to the sun ana
two, ou the watch is exactly soutn'
Suppose that it is eight O'Clock.
Point the hand indicating eight to the
sun. and the figure ten, on the watch
is due south. My American friend
was quite surprised that 1 did not
know this.
Thinking very possibly that 1 was
ignorant of thing that every one else
knew, and happening to meet Mr..
Stanley, l asked that eminent travel
er whether he was aware of this sim
pie mode of discovering the points OF
the compass. He said that he had
never heard of it. l presume, there
fore, that the world is in the same
state Of ignorance. Amalfi is proud
of having been the home of the inven-
tor of the compass. I do not know
what town boasts of my American
friend as citizen.-London Truth.

10 Start n Ralky HOrae.

was attracted yesterday by con-
siderable gathering Of people in a
down town street, occasioned by q
balky horse which even the policeman
! himself could not persuade to move
on.n All kinds of plans were tried.
First, about dozen men showed the
wagon behind; but even then, by
firmly planting his fore feet, the deter
mined beast managed to resist pro-
gression, although I thought the
breeching would burst. An old piece
of cloth was then carefully tied over
his eyes, and, after shorv pause, he
was gently requested to proceed, but
he stood still, and the crowd jeered.
Next q rather consequential person
came forward, and, standing on tiptoe,
so that he could reach the horses ear,
whispered into his ear something
which he evidently thought would
have an instantaneous and miracu-
lous effect; but the animal was deaf to
this siren, and the consequential per-
son skunk off, pursued by the sarcasms
of bootback. The driver was now
in rage, which vented itself in blows
and imprecations. But just as he was
passing from this condition into one of
stony despair, a quiet young fellow
waved him aside, unharnes the
horse, took him out of the shafts, and
after leading him across the street and
back reharnessed him and handed the
reins to the driver, who now drove of
without the least trouble. The expe-
dient was simple and effective, and it
suggests what is, I believe, the true
philosophy of the balky horse. The
effort should be not to overcome his
fixed idea standing still, but to sup
plant that motion by diverting his at
| tention to something else.

SPENDING MoNEY.-It is an excel
lent thing to give children. as soon as
they arrive at about twelve years, or
even before, a little allowance for
spending money and an account book.
Show them how to keep an account of
small expenditures, and make it a con-
dition that they do so. if they wish to
receive their allowance. There is no
instruction more necessary to children
than instruction in the wise manage
ment of money. Children should be
taught early what true economy is,
and to exercise their judgment-not
their fancy-in making purchases. A
little instruction now, and experience,
if need be, of the genuine discomforts
Of extravaganza, may save them from
much suffering in after years.-New

In but one word what may await?

May help some weary one to pray,

The Sled that Won the Golden Arrow.

One cold day recently a lady, looked
from q window down to the sidewalk
and she saw a little girl and q little
bow. The girl had a broken sled, and
on the sled board that fell Oft unless
it was held.
Well, the little girl held the board
just right, and made quick Jump ano
got on it, so that the board stayed IN
its place; then she got OIL, ana toid
the little boy to Jump on.
He jumped. The board tipped and
the little boy fell on the sidewalk;
The little girl picked him up, and
brushed off the snow. Then the lady
at the window heard the girl say
"Try again, Joe! That was too bad.
Sister is sorry. She will hold the
board this time" So the board was
again put on the broken sled, and held
until Joe was safely on it.
"Now, sit still, Joe, and I'll give
you nice sleigh ride" said the little
girl. And then she picked up the rope
and pulled. Up flew Joe's feet and he
fell backward but he was not hurt
much, and, after another brushing,
the girl said, "Now, sit with your feet
to the back; you can't tumble off that
way"
But he did. Only that time he fell
on his face. Next he sat sideways,
with his feet hanging over part of the
runner. In this way he went safely a
little way and then board and boy
again upset.
The good sister tried a dozen times
to'give Joe a ride, but every time the
H. Il II of
little girl was patient and kind, and
spoke gently, and took good care OF
her little brother. When they Went
away the lady opened the window and
sent big boy to follow them, and
told him to come back and tell her
where they lived. ,
That same day she went out and
bought strong and pretty sled. It's
name was "Golden ArroaU." Then
she went to the house where the little
girl lived and asked for the little girl
who had been trying to give her little
brother ride that morning.
"Julia! Julia ~ called her mother,
"here is lady asking for YOU"
Julia ran to the gate.
"You were trying to draw little
boy on the sidewalk in front of my
house this morning." said the lady.
II watched you, and you were so
sweet and patient that 1 wanted to
make you present. And l have at
my house new sled for you, if you
will come and get it,"
Julia was soon at the lady's house
with Joe and three other little broth
ers, and the "Goitlep ArroeU" made
five children happy many days.

Shot SILK and Lnce Gowns.

Among new dresses some of the prettiest
are of black net in basket pattern made
over shot silk. A new feature in these
dresses Il the bell skirt of shot silk covered
smoothly with net cut precisely as the silk
is shaped, then finished at the foot by
deep 1ounce Of black lace bordered with
the flower basket design. A stylish ex-
ample is of pink and yellow changeable
silk, and another is Of pale blue shot with
gold. The silk skirt Is simply a lining for
the lace, and is faced deeply with black
silk, then worn over n separate petticoat
of black taffeta silk with pinked 1ounces.
The lace flounce on the net skirt has an
upright ruiIle as heading, with rosettes Mt
intervals upon it. The round bodice is Of
the silk covered with net put on smoothly
about theShoulders, shirred at the waist
line, and finished with aounce Of lace
like that on the skirt. Sleeves of the plain
silk are studded with jet nail heads, and
have lace ruffles Mt the wrists. An open
Jet collar is wired to flare slightly. The
design of this gown is also carried out in
black square meshed grenadine over pale
blue faille. The bell skirt of grenadine
may have lace hounce, or else it has a
border of pale blue ribbon, dotted with Jet
applied fatty in u pattern of bow knots
with fluttering ends, Serpentine striped
grenadine is similarly made over gray blue
or rosy heliotrope silk.-Harper's Bazaar

Evidently "a Confirmed Criminal.

Is there any means by which profes-
sional criminal can be reformed and his
feet once again set on the path of honest
endeavorp Thief takers of all sorts say
not. They declare that the culprit grows
more hardened and desperate with the
lapse of years. and they may, sfthey choose,
cite the case of Timothy Sheedy, alias
Shields, to prove their accusations. The
man is we'll known to the police of Troy,
where, within ten days, he committed four
burglaries He was arrested recently at
Broadway and Fourteenth street, New
York, by Detective Sergeants Mccarthy
and McCaffery, of Inspector Byrnes' staff.
Sheedy has just been released from Clin-
ton prison, where he served n term of ten
years. On his person was found n check
for satchel at the Morton House. The
satchel was procured, and In it was found
silverware belonging to the Mansion House,
Troy, gold watches, several rings, a bag of
money, principally in five and ten cent
pieces, revolvers and several other articles,
the proceeds of various burglaries. The
bag of small coins is aportion Of the money
stolen from the Office of Utica street car
road.
Sheedy was arraigned at the Tombs
court and turned over to the custody Of
Chief Detective Markham and Superinten-
dent of Police Willard, Of Troy, who came
on with the proper papers. While their
complaint was being prepared Sheedy took
desperate chance to escape, Standing
within the rallied inclosure, each entrance
to which is guarded by policeman, Sheedy,
apparently unnoticed, vaulted over the
railing and was making his way to the
door leading from the courtroom to the
street, when he was grabbed by Rounds
man j. Campbell, of the court squad, and
led back to the inclosuro. The handouts
were snapped on his wrists and he was
taken back to Troy to stand trial for his
crimes

How skirts are cut on the cross puzzles
a good many and in fact there are several
ways in which it is managed. The great
object would seem to be to reduce any full
ness around the waist to minimum, and
to,so arrange the material that it flies out
wide at the foot. Some of the leading
dressmakers bring corner point of the
fabric to the waist in the center of the
back, joining cores at either side, so that
the hem is perfectly on the cross. Most Of
the French dresses seem to be cut on the
cross In a beautiful silk from Worth's
the material came diaGonally across the
front, with deep point lace let in as an in
sertion. Sometimes the front is on the
cross as well as the back, but In that case
there is generally a join down the center.
Otherwise,the front is straight, and the
back on the cross
