Wearing Iaces.

A woman who is known for the taste
and grace with which she dresses herself
says that high breeding is shown by the
way in which lady adapts her laces to her
occasions. The woman who knows doesn't
put on at fifty laces which are suitable
only to twenty-five. She distinguishes be-
tween the seasons and the hours of the
day. In the morning she wears Valen-
cienne. In the winter she wears point
d'Alencon. With delicate summer muslin
she chooses light, soft lille and arras laces.
She puts on duchesse with rich velvets of
an evening. Lastly she subscribes to the
creed of Ruskin that "the real good of a
piece of lace, then, you will find. is that it
should show first that the designer of it
had pretty fancy; next, that the maker of
it had nimble fingers; lastly. that the
wearer has worthiness or dignity enough
to obtain what is difficult to obtain, and
common sense enough not to wear it on all
occasions. New York Recorder.

A Query.

Why is 1t that only the homely, unat-
tractive girls receive praise for their vir-
tues: There are just as many good pretty
girls as there are ugly ones, yet one seldom
hears much about the good deeds of pretty
women.
Yet how much more credit could pretty
women deserve for doing acts than ugly
ones Nobody expects much of pretty WON
en-. They can be selfish, tyrannical, almost
anything they like, without being blamed
very much, while the ugly girl must be
good to be endured by her fellow creatures.
Still it's rather hard for the pretty wom-
an who practices a few virtues never to
get credit for them
was struck by this recently when the
name of girl came up for discussion. and
number of racy stories were told about
her. One man, who had known her all his
life, said that he liked her anyway; that at
her home she nursed the sick, and the
wants of the poor were relieved by her gen
erosity. | had heard stories about this girl
for many years, and this was the first kind
one. If the girl had been homely she'd
have had no temptation; she would have
led sedate life, and nursing the sick and
feeding the poor would have been all to be
said of her. But the pretty girls short
comings were blazoned abroad and her
klndnesses untold.-Atlanta Constitution

TIE Chicago municipal election should
prove valuable object lesson to the DEM
ocratic party everywhere, and especially
to the democrats of the house of repre>
sentatives. Chicago is democratic by an
overwhelming msjority; but owing to a
split in the party and the running of two
democratic tickets the city government
has fallen into the hands Of the republi-
cans. "United we stand divided we fall"
is good motto. if it isn't a new one, and
had the democrats of Chicago lived up to
it democratic mayor would have done
the honors for that city during the world s

Managing the Little Ones.

Babies grow SO fast they change almost
from day to day, and the little trick that
you think not quite pretty will be forgot
ten tomorrow or day later, il you say
nothing to the baby about it, but induce
him to stop it simply by attracting his at
tention to something else. The whole Sc
cret of training" baby is to furnish him
amusement, or let him find it for himself,
and in case he finds something amusing
that it is best and wise he should not have
draw his attention to something else and
quietly let the other attraction disappear.
Don't imagine he will think you are
afraid to correct him; he has not the least
idea on the matter at all, and does not
realize that he is managed" he simply
knows he is having good time. BY and
by, when baby is old enough TO understand
causes and effects, and you first explain
your reasons to him, then if he does not
obey it may sometimes be necessary to slap
a hand; for as soon as n child is old enough
to understand what you tell him, and the
reason why, he must not be allowed to
realize that he can disregard the parents
command.
Make as few rules as possible. Never
make a rule or give a command unless it
is necessary and wise to do so; but when
done, then gently but firmly enforce it.
On the other hand, give praise and kisses
for prompt obedience. Let the child over
hear you telling papa that he is just splen-
did boy to obey; that you always know
when you tell him not to do a thing that
he will obey you, and slyly watch the eff
feet. 1t will please the little one and help
it to obey you in future. Never rule by
"don'ts." Praise the little ones all You
can truthful!y, and find fault as seldom Is
possble.-Hall's Journal of Health.

The country Road.

In late years deep interest has been
taken in the improvement of countr y
roads, and the best evidences that the fa- =
mer is emancipating himself from the
bondage of custom and conversation is
that he is giving much thought to this
matter. Indiana has taken long strides
in the direction of securing good cou ntry
roads, and the free gravel road law
enacted by the legislature of 1889 has
paved the way for an advance in this d.
rection far beyond that made by any other
western state.
In an address to the New jersey state
board of agriculture Chsuncey B. Ripley
contributes some interesting and valus-
BILE information on the subject of good
roads. In one portion of his sddr ess
Mr.. Ripley has got down to the actual
cash value of improved roads outside of
their comfort and beauty. He shows
that real estate has doubled, trebled and
quadrupled in value since the construc-
ton of Telford roads from Orange to Do
yer, n. ]. One of the chronic grumblers
against taxes for road improvements in
Union county, when asked if he would
consent to have the road restored to its
old condition in order to save the taxes.
replied: well, as shall not be required
TO pay more than SO year for the rest OF
my life, it would not be worth while. ;"
The travel has increased on these roads
ten.feld in a years time. "Since the law
went into effect" says Mr.. Ripley, real
estate values in Union county have adj
vanced nearly $1,500,O0O, exclusive of
property advances in Elizabeth of about
100000 more" This statement was
made in October, 1890, and work under
the county road act was begun only the
year before. So rapidly has the real
estate advanced since the roads were
made better that one OF the largest real
estate owners in the county expresses the
opinion that the appreciation IN future
values will cover all the cost of the inn
provement.
In addition to This. the farmer is en-
abled by the improvement in the thor
oughfares to haul twice as heavy a load
with his team. thus working a decided
economy in the matter of time and ener-
gy expended. All these things go to
prove that the farmers expenditure for
road improvement is bis most profitable
investment.

An Insul. Queen victoria Remember,

-
The last time that the queen visited
the city of Bath was in 1880. She was
then young miss-was called the Prin-
cess Victoria. In that year she visited
Bath with her mother. the Duchess of
Kent. The two We're lodged in a house
in Sydney place, and presently large
crowd copyrighted and cheered Justify
and clamored for a view of the little prin-
cess. With her mother the princess
stepped out upon a balcony to bow to
the noisy multitude. She wore afounced
frock. long white stockings, black slip
pers with classics crossing her ankles,
and liberal show of white frilling ap-
peared below the hem of her frock
Hardly had the little princess appeared
attired in this fashion of that period
when a coarse voice sung out from the
crowd, 'Oh, what ugly feet!' Victoria
blushed scarlet, retired at once from the
balcony, burst into tears and declared
that she would leave the city at once
and would never return to it. The
mother sought to soothe her, but the
girls wrath would not be assuaged.
Next day the party left the town. In
all the sixty years that have elapsed since
this unfortunate incident the queen has
not revisited Bath, and she still speaks
unpleasantly of the city whenever it IS
mentioned in conversation. - Eugene

Women and Literature.

Mrs. Lyman Abbott says the letters she
receives as editor of department in
magazine devoted to the interests of women
bring her sometimes to the conclusion that
women look to literature nowadays as the
good for-nothing of family used to be
tabled to look to the ministry as the last
resort of the individual who has received
no training for any occupation, and has no
especial aptitude in any direction. He who
could do nothing else can preach, and she
who can do nothing else imagines she can
make living by her pen.-New York Let

A LARGE number of prominent business
men of Boston. met last week to discuss
some means Of curtailing the credit sys-
tenn. What conclusion they came to. if
any, has not been made public, but the
question they considered is not q difficult
one. All that is needed to curtail the
credit system is large increase of the
circulating medium. With an abundance
OF money in the channels of trade more
business would be done with cash and
less on time, fewer failures would ccur,
and the liability to panics and indus trial
and commercial depressions would be
minimized. With more money there
would be less credit because there could
be less need of it..
