the above title. The new Fashion

change to all the ladies. The opening
article, Housekeeping in India" is
admirably illustrated and written by
one who had personal knowledge OF

pleasantly. "a Snow Shoe Tramp"
by W. Blackman Harte, is an interest
ing tale of a Canadian winter. Miss
Alice Bowman's serial. 1.-The Mystery
of Dulce Domum." begins charmingly,
and 1.-The Queen of Diamonds" by
Mrs. Lucy II. Hooper, reaches happy
and effective conclusion. The short
stories are all capital; Alice Maude
Ewell's "Tale of an Old Town" de.
serves special mention" "The Little
Qneen of Hollond" is seasonable
sketch with series of good pictures,

Oldest Place In America.

"Do you know the oldest place in all

son, of St. Louis, to a circle of friends.
II don't mean the oldest town in the
country or on the continent, but the land
irst found on the Western Hemisphere
SO? Well, | thought not. 1t is Mount
iarcy, in the Adirondack Mountains.
Agassiz and other biologists have figured
out that Mount Marcy was the point Of
land that made its appearance first above
the water when the Western Hemisphere
was evolved. | have a summer home
near Mount Marcy, and | know that the
rocks are azsic in formation, destitute of
any vestige of organic life. 1t is the
highest peak of the Adirondacks, and |
have travelled over that country until ]
know it pretty we'll. John Browns old
home is only about three miles from my
house. 1t is interesting to travel through
the Adirondacks with a boat and guides,
because of the beauty of the scenery
The formation of the mountains is pecu-
liar. There are many portages where the
guides carry boats across from n lake
or river to another lake or river. These
mountains are drained by streams running
into Lake Ontario, the st. Lawrence
River, Lake Champlain, the Hudson
River and the Mohawk River. 1t is not
dangerous to ascend Mount Marcy, but it is
difficult and tiresome "-Chtcago Herald.

TEE DINING ROOM TABLE,

It is a great saving of expense, both as
regards your linen press and your laundry
work, if you keep your dining
table we'll polished, and use small center
cloths for breakfast and luncheon, re-
serving the heavy damask tablecloth for
dinner only. Although nothing can be
more refined and attractive than a per-
fectly appointed table, with the whitest
and finest of damask beautifully laun-
dered, a cloth that has been used, and is
the least soiled, is on the contrary really
repulsive. And yet with a large family
and an overtaxed laundress, it is some
times impossible to have a fresh change
for every meal. On that account, there
fore, we advocate the small center cloth,
not as a substitute, be it understood, for
spotless napery, but in lieu of that which
is not altogether spotless. Moreover, it
is a change. and the table can be made to
look very attractive with a pretty cloth.
These are made in various ways, from
the plain square of damask to those with
beautifully made cut-work border or
German embroidery in silk on heavy
linen. But your own taste and the
means of gratifying it will be the best
guides in these matters.-MW York
