the ring back and the girl promises never

EXPENDITURE FOR DRESS.
The question Of expenditure for dress is often
one rather Of good judgment than amount.
How often We meet two fashionable women
who dress equally well. and yet we know that
one hasn't more than one-half what the other
has to spend on dress. True. some women

Urquhart was in particular away off in his
playing, having four costly errors to his
credit. Tom Power also made costly err

The special features of the game were
the batting of Lally and Knight, and the
fine sharp fielding of Lang, Petite, Farrar.
The game was an unusually istless one,
though several of the plays made were of
brilliant order. Doran pitched good

the late Mr.. Miller (of Millerism notoriety)
was just as learned as lieutenant, more
in earnest, and not bit more out of his
reckoning. One of the coloneTs speoi6oa-
tions is worth quoting ipsissimis verbs, as
he would say:
The ancient and well-known description
of Egypt 10 "the land shadowing with
WINGS" or "the land of the rustling Of
WINGS" as emblemed by winged globe
found in Egyptian sculptured architecture
universally conceded to be about 1000
years old, and from that period down to
recent Turkish carvings. Yet, because the
eagle is the American national bird, Totten
transfers this description from Egypt to
the United States, apparently forgetting
that if any land which adopted the eagle
on it's ensign could fill that description,
then ancient Rome and Gaul can claim it
ahead of the United States; and that,
among contemporaneous nations, Austria,
Russia and Germany would fill it before
