Great Severity.

A very estimable widow has a son
who is far from estimable. Evil COM
panions have corrupted the good
manners he oncehad, and the ravages
of dissipation are already becoming
visible. His poor mother is nearly
broken-hearted. She was confiding
her troubles one day to an old and
trusted friend.
Il am afraid" said her friend, chat
you are not firm enough with John;
you are too easy with him."
"On the contrary, l am sometimes
afraid that l am too harsh"
"Why, what have you ever done?"
ooh, l haven't done anything, but l
have talked to him a great deal"
"What have you said?"
"Why, l have said, John! joint
and other severe things" !.

A Street Dress,

For ordinary street dress, the pre-
ference is for a skirt with many cores
rather than for the bell skirt, which is
especially suitable to house and ele-
CANT dress, thought has been worn on
the streets during the summer. More
over, the use of a bell skirt on the
street necessitates a train, and the
best dressed women in our cities re-
fuse to be chained down to such an
incumbrance in walking costume.
The skirt with six cores offers an ex-
cellent model for street dress. 1t has
a narrow front breadth, gored on
either side, two breadths on each side,
and a narrow back breadth, gored up
the edges. A pretty way to finish this
skirt is with a two-inch border of AS
trakhan entirely around the bottom
and-half way up the three seams on
each side of the skirt. The back
breadth is held together halfway
down it's length in close pleats, whence
it falls in a small fan-like sweep.
There is very little trimming on the
new skirts. Bell skirts are frequently
bordered with four and a half
inch box-pleating or ruching, extend
ing across the front and side breadths,
but leaving the train plain on the
edge. Flounces put on in festoons,
az they were last season, or laid in
box pleats, to form Vandyke points
at the top, where they are beaded by
jetted galoons, are used on handsome
silk and velvet skirts. In all these
cases, the trained back breadths are
left untrimmed. A popular finish for
the skirts of walking dresses is triple
rows of fur, either mink, Astrakhan,
Or the more costly sable. The lowest
edge is put on the bottom OF the skirt
and the other two rows are above it.,
separated by spaces of two or three
inches. The width of such rows of
fur is not above an inch or an inch
and a half on the pelt, though half as
wide again on the face.-Helena Rowe,
in Good Housekeeping.

The Rochester Democrat and Chron-

of a society bud in that city. She
was at her first dinner party. She
was naturally a little nervous but
everything went off well: and she
soon became o at ease, and
talked rather brilliantly to those
around her. The desert was being
served, and the stately colored
walters were engaged in passing those
funny little frosted cakes, which seem
indispensable to the proper service
and deglutition of ices. They were
cakes with pink frosting. The waiter
came to where the bud sat and pre-
scented them. She looked them over
and said: ~ don't care for any," The
waiter was about to pass on when
she saw what she thought was an
eclair on the side of the dish farthest
from her, Eyes, I will, too" she said,
reaching over for the eclair. ''There's
one with chocolate on it." "Beg par.
don MISS" said the waiter, as she
tried topick the chocolate-colored cake
up-"beg pardon, but that's my
thumb" And everybody laughed aud
theyoung lady spoke inmonosyllables
all the rest of the evening.

A Bows Essay Or Girls.

The following may be some Glitter
airy fellow's"% invention; ifso, it certain
ly hits off the average boys notion of
his girl associates: Girls is great on
making bleeve. She will make bleeve
a doll is a live baby. She will make
bleeve she is orful sweet on another
girl or a TELLER if they come to see her,
and when they are gone she will say:
"Horrid old thing" Girls is always
fooling a Teller. She can't lick yer, so
she gets the best OF yer that way. If
yer don't do what a girls says yer
horrid. 1 drather be horrid than
soft. If yer do what a girl tells YOU
you will do all sorts OF foolish things.
Girls can be good in school every day
if they feel like it. 1 shud think they
would get tired and have to do sum-
thing wonce in a while; l know a fellow
does. Girls say fellers act orfull; but
when a girl gets acgoing it she acts
or1,r than any teller darst.
Tkxs don't care for nuthing.
If L girl wants q Teller to carry
her b. oks home she amt sa%tisfiedun-
lese re gets the same Teller the other
girls sant, whether she likes him or
not. Girls is crate on having secrets

secret out of nuthing at all, and then
tell it round to all the other girls, ortul

full. Ibleeve agirl likes to make bleeve
they are doing sumthing dredfull.
Girls olways gets their jogeerfry lesson
better than a Teller; but if they are go
ing anywhere they don't know their
way a bit, and they are sure to get
lost. If two fellers has a fight the girls
all 20 for the Teller what ticks, no mat
ter whether he is good for anything
else or not. If a girl don't feel like do
ing anything you can't make her, no
matter whether she had orter. or not.
Hshe won't she won't, and she will get
out of it somehow. That is all l kno
about girls this time.-Exchange.

Crystal Fireworks.


Ihave q bottle herefull of black ma
terial, which is to fall upon the flame
of this candle. When I tell you that
this bottle contains a quantity OF
steel filings, you will at once prophesy
that the light will be put out.

out, l am making it disport itself as

resolved to play ghost and haunt him
until he was cured OF his foolish idea.
One night, Mr.. Wilton 1.-THE name of
the man who believed in ghosts) came
home later than usual, and going up
to his room was met by an object all
in white with a hideous grin, whom he
naturally took for IL ghost, who said
not a word, but followed him where
ever he went. Mr.. Wilton was so
frightened that his teeth chartered,
and he shook violently, and when the
ghost gave him a tap on the back and
another grin, he fell down on the floor.
Presently he got up and tried to bride
the ghost to leave him and not plague
him any longer, but the ghost answered
him, saying, "You believed in immor-
tai things, SO l came from my haunts
to visit you until you r willing to
lead a sensible life and cease believing
in or fearing ghosts, then l will
return to my former abode and
never come back more, but if you say
that you do not fear ghosts when you
really do l willhauntyou to thegrave."
The man suddenly threw himself
across his bed overcome with fright,
but he resolved to not fearghosts, and
every night for a whole week the ghost
visited the wretched man, but as soon
as the clock struck twelve, the ghost
with a parting grin left the room. The
second week things were no better
than the first, and finally the man re-
solved to sure and to rid himself of
the pesterous fellow. So at the next
call Mr.. Wilton welcomed him and
talked to him as cordially as if he had
been his best friend. The ghost could
not stand this, so the next night
when the same cordially con-
tinued, he took off his ghost clothes
and showed Mr.. Wilton thas he was
no ghost, but his friend Mr.. Treke.
Mr.. Wilton and Mr.. Treke both had a
good laugh over Mr.. Wilton's foolish
fears, and he was cured Oft too, Ever
after that they always told that story
as the best one they knew.
The Baby's Letter.
Dear Aunt Belle-Did you know I
had lots of toes right on the end of
my feet? They are little, soft, round
things, and they are not on very
tight, but l can't pull them off, for
I've tried and tried.
And there's a new tooth come in
my mouth. There isn't anybody else
in this house who has mad q tooth
come, and 1 haven't but one, There
are not many teeth to spare, 1
suppose, and you can't have but
one.
Mamma found it and put her fng-
er on; and then she told papa, and he
laughed and put his finger on it. He
told Uncle Jack and Uncle Jack said:
"Whew!" and rubbed it with his
finger, and I tasted all their fingers,
and they didn't taste good q bit.
It's queer babies have to taste of
fingers because they have a
tooth.
And, Aunt Belle, my papa wants me
to drop on the floor and break. l
know he does, because he took me up
in his arms the other day and l was
afraid [ should fall, and SO l put both
handsi in his whiskers. Then he jumped
and l held on tighter, and he halloed
and took my hands out. So l know
he wants me to drop on the floor and
break. That is the way things do
when you drop them.

A Neat Little Nut Trick.

Take an English walnut and hold it
between the thumb and middle finger
with the index finger resting on the
point of the nut.
By pressing hard against the ridge
of the nut with the thumb and middle
finger the nut will open slightly at the
top, because the pressure has decreas-
ed the diameter Of the nut, increasing
it where there is no pressure.
After that much has been accom-
pllshed comes a little jugglery. Let us
tell the spectators, for example, that
by rubbing the nut against the wooden
surface, the coat sleeve for instance,
enough electricity a be generatedfor
the nut to adhere to the index finger
and hang suspended in the air. In re-
atty, however, as soon as the pres
sure has been removed from the body
of the nut it closes at the top, impris-
oning a bit of the skin of the index
finger. .p..

The Pay Corner.

Into a basin OF water throw a piece
of money, q ring, or any object, and
propose to take it out without wet
ting your hands.
All that you havet to do is to sprinkle
the surface Of the liquid with q powder
that has no cohension with the water,
and consequently that the water does
not wet. Lycopodium powder, which
may be found in any drug store, have
this property.
After having thrown a little of this
powder on the water plungeyourhand
bravely to the bottom and take out
the ring, and show it to the audience
that you hand is perfectly dry. The
reason of this is that the lycopodium
has formed q perfect glove on your
hand, thus preventing any contact
with the liquid, the same as, for in
stance, ducks plunge their bodies into
the water, and come out perfectly dry,
on account OF the oil which is secreted
in their feathers.

The Sparrine Exhibition.

AS announced, the sparring contests
took place at the Commercial Billiard
Parlors on Saturday afternoon before a
large and orderly audience. Marshal
Wilson, Deputy Marshal Mehrten and
other Government officials were among
those present. Shortly after O'Clock
Mr.. Jas. WEIGH, master of ceremonies,
appeared and announced that two light
weights would have three-round go for
scientific points. This contest proved
very interesting and brought forth
hearty applause.
Mike Quilligan and blue jacket next
appeared for three rounds in which
Mike satisfied those present that he is a
boxer as we'll as trainer in every sense
of the word.
The event OF the evening and drawing
card it might be said, was three-round
set-to between two light-weights, Nc
earthly of Australia and Jim harrington
of Honolulu. For two rounds Jimmy
showed up in good style although he
being no match for Mccarthy. The
wind-up was very tame with Mccarthy
sure winner at any point of the round.
Both men were heartily cheered, the
entertainment then broke up and every
body went away pleased.
This exhibition was pronounced by
the knowing ones to excel anything ever
presented here in its line before.
The genial host Mr.. Jas. WEIGH did
everything in his power to make it a
pleasant affair-and he succeeded.

A TEN INNING GAME

saturdays game between the St. Louis
boys and the Iwileis started in a very
tame manner, the end was quite diff
ierent however, everybody being in q
IeVer OF excitement. From the start tho
auulence thought it would be a very Ion.
sioeo game in favor of the st. Louis, Init
rate Wllied it otherwise. The Twileis
nao JOB lot of players augmented bv
large sized hoodoo; in the seventh
inning the captain was seen TO enter the
players dressing room, and it is Thought
ne went there for the purpose of burning
Cnlnese punks in order to shake the
hoodoo. 1t was effective, for when he
emerged from under the grand stand the
hoodoo had gone, his club commenced
TO make runs and ended the inning by
uelng the score. In the ninth inning
the score tied again, in the tenth the st.
Louis boys made run, the Iwileis went
TO bat and scored twice ending the game
In their favor. Lane for the St. Louis
and Kipa for the Iwileis were the pitch
ers, both men being batted freely. Lane
started in with base on ball delivery
but afterwards settled down to work.
His arm gave out however, and Kaae
was placed in the box in the eighth in
ming; the latter was picnic for the Iwi-
lels. Whenever he placed a ball anywhere
near the plate, they would just lean up
against that ball and send it far out into
green territory. Pryce caught for the
lWiieis in splendid form, and his throw
Ing to second was very accurate.
Long caught a steady game for the St.
Louis, but queered himself by his very
disastrous wild throw in the tenth in
nings. Thompson played short for the
st. Louis in professional manner, as
he was always in the way of the ball and
placed it in the first baseman's hands in
time to retire the runner. Young held
third base for the Iwileis, and his play
ing was really excellent, his throwing to
first being just as pretty as one would
like to see.
In the fifth innings, Holt of the Iwi-
leis made one-handed circus catch OF a
high fly that drew forth merited ap.
plause. In addition to the interest of the
game, the audience had not a little
amusement. The st. Louis had young
man playing center-feld by the name o.
Haia; this player was imported to play
that particular position: just where he
came from nobody would divulge, but
judging from his appearance we would
say that he came from Makee Island
he had one of those "bloW out the gas
looks about him.
The following is the score by innings

A cents for the

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER.
It is hardly necessary to direct the
attention of the public to the fact that
pure water is one Of the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
of our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into a
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the Or
dinary water-pipe and filters rapidly: 1t
is displacing the old slow-working filters
in the United States.
