The Dictionary at Hand.

A dictionary IAN unabridged one if the
means of the family permit) should have
a place in every household; it should be
kept in full sight, not shut away n a
bookcase or closet. If there are children
they should be taught the proper use of
it, and encouraged to turn to it whenever
they hear in conversation or find in read
ing word the nearing of which they do
not understand. In writing also, if in
the least uncertain as to the correct spell
ing of a word, or as to the propriety of
using 1t in that place. recourse should be

Handwork and Brain Culture.

Professor Joseph LIE Conte declares that
for every grade culture, whether of the
individual or of the race, there is a cor
responding grade of handwork necessary
for the best brain culture. In the child
of pre-school age and in the savage and
in pal@olithic man, it is the simple use of
the hand, or assisted by rude implements;
in the schoolboy or girl, as also in the
next higher grade of races, it is by the
use of those finer instruments which we
call tools; and in the university, as in the
most civilized races, it is by the use of
scientific instruments and machines.-

various Uses Cor sawdust.

The uses for sawdust are steadily null
tiplying, and it is in ever increasing de-
mand. 1t is used very extensively in
packing goods for shipment. For stabling
purposes it is used quite largely, being
cheaper and cleaner than straw. Many
thousands of cords are used yearly in the
manufacture of terra Gotta. 1t also en-
tiers largely into the construction of
apartment houses. for filing walls and
floors to deaden sound. These are but a
few of the uses for which sawdust is in
demand. Single excelsior when made
of cedar, is an excellent moth extermi-
nator. and is much used in packing
Planer shavings are used for all kinds of
packing, and also for bedding in stables,

The USE OE GRAPE.


Tho French Woman Makes Much of 1t in
Gowns and B0nnets.
It's rather odd, but it's true, that the
more some materials cost the cheaper
they are, and this especially applies to
Grape. A good Grape may be worn for
a long time, dressed and re-dressed and
re-dressed again, and it always looks as
good as new, while cheap quality of
Grape has the unpleasant fashion of
growing rusty in a very short time and
looking like mitigated woe and suggest
ing nothing so much as grief that will
not survive Il rainy day.
French women thoroughly under
stand the art of mourning, as they do
every other art of dress and they realize
that the English woman who walks
with huge veil over her face and ex-
tending far down her back may be
monument of woe, but is really also Il
blot upon the face of the earth. In
stead, the Parisian has arranged on her
street gown a full front of Grape, and
by full one means covering the entire
front, a bodice with sleeves and Jacket
fronts of Grape, and then the tiniest of
small bonnets, on which is arranged
the heavy Grape veil turned back.
There are several reasons why veil
worn off the face is recommended.
First, Grape, when it is worn over the
face, seems to shut out all the sunshine
and goodness of life, whereas when it
is properly draped it is distingue look
ing and, most important of all, it is be-

In Swedish school recently the class

to Columbus and said, 4 see land 1t

ship landed thr shore was full of black

Many years ago prominent clergy
man was consulted by the ladies of his
congregation about certain clerical
work in which they were interested.
Smiling at their earnestness, he said:
That's right, ladies; make a fuss
make FUSS That's the only way to
get work done in this world! Set about
it yourself, and make fuss while you
dow And so it is. Thinking about
wrongs and signing over them never
mended one. But the people who exert
themselves to right the wrong, making
a good stir about it while they do, and
worrying at other people to exert them
selves too. will often force the other
people into activity in sheer self-de-
fanse. The other people would like to
sit quiet and take it out in signing, but
these energetic fussers will not let
them. At last, to get rid of the agita-
tors, they rouse up, go to work with a
will, and accomplish what is asked of
them for the sake OF the peace they OBJ
tain thereby. But whatever their mo-
tive, all mankind has the baucAt. 1t is
not only well to get wrongs righted, it
is also well to get sluggish people
stirred up occasionally. y.-lIarper's Ba-

LONDON'S FISH MARKET.
BilingsGate and Some of Its Queer Lam
guage.


Billingsgate and Some of Its Queer Lam
guage.
The word "Billingsgate" has, strange
ly enough, been transferred from the
place itself to the language spoken
there. For Webster says: THE word
is from market of this name in Lon
tiol, celebrated for fish and foul Ian
guage.' A visit to this renowned fish
market in these days will perhaps give
one a better idea of the place than
Webster's explanation.
There is considerable slang and good
natured chatting among the buyers and
sellers, but one is not overwhe lined by
that torrent of foul language he has
been taught to expect from his associa-
tions with the word The best time to
visit the market is on Friday morning.
The wooden, barn-looking square,
where the fish is sold, is crowded soon
after o'clock with shiny cord jackets
and greasy caps.
Everybody comes to Billingsgate in
his worst clothes, and no one knows
the length of time coat can be worn
the hum of voices are heard the shouts
of the statesmen, who, with the white
aprons, peering above the heads of the
mob, stand on the tables, roaring out
their prices. All are bawling together

hardware and newspapers-till the
