HOMEMADE PERFUMERY.

A practical chemist says that within
the last twelve months he has taught
perfumery making to several women,
some Of whom learned it onlyfor amuse-
ment, while others mean to apply it to
the purpose of money making. Women,
he says, are becoming much interested
il this subject, and are better equipped
in every respect than men to make sue
cesssful perfumers. One of the most
important requisites is nice sense OF
smell, which is possessed by the majority
of women, as their olfactories have not
been dulled by smoking. Women, as a
rule, love flowers, and are fitted for the
delicate manipulations required in the
work, fve.sixteenths of drop too much
or too little often materially changing
the odor. The field is a wide one, for
pure cooking extracts are a;@cult to
obtain, and the making OF them also
offers q chance for the eaterprising
woman. A point on which the chemist
dwells particularly is that the work can
be carried on in parlor as easily as in a
laboratory, as it requires little space and
is exquisitely clean.-Boston Herald.

colors.
For these effects dark grounds are not
liked as much as medium shades; grays
and dark bronzes being most favored.
The broche effects show bombs, cubes,
half-moons, acorns, olives, etc., in mo-
hair or silk on grounds of foule, cheviot,
Himalaya or vigogue, the ground itself
being often in famine or in nappy
effect.
Embroidered effects are quite popular.
The grounds are in foule, vigogne,
cachemire or camel's hair and carry en-
broidered effects in silk in one or more
cclors.
Piece.dyed cotelines in narrow and
broad stripes will find large consump-
tion in plain or mixture, with jacquard
effects or with narrow silk stripes.
These grounds will also have designs In
embroidered effec;s.
Piece-dyed fcales with jacquard de-
signs find favor, also diagonal stripes in
relief.
Indian cachemires and vigogaes made
of soft cachemire yarn are taucied IN
broche effects, in silk and wool, in stripes
and mixtures.
The softness of the materials which
act as grounds is one OF the desiderata,
as the stiff finished goods which were
the favorites of previous seasons are no
longer rulers. But beauty Of effect and
general ensemble are not sacrificed to
softness, and if both cannot 90 together
the latter property becomes only Sec
ondary consideration.-Cour Journal.

Cheerful Under Paralysis.

There is a woman in Bellevue Hospital,
New York City, who, though sick ofa
remarkable difficulty, is having a first
rate time. She doesn't suffer any pain
at all. Her right eye is paralyzed, also,
the right side of her mouth, the right
side of her tongue and the entire right
side of everything, yet she sleeps well,
eats well, and enjoys being an object Of:
interest. Having only one-half Of heri
senses, she very wisely devotes all that
remain to her in sensing only the pleas
ant things of existence. She sees things
only out of her smiling eye; doesn't
smell anything that she doesn't want 70.

RELIGIOUS READING.
.trHE LIGHT T. AT THE END"

THE LIGHT L AT THE Emu.
At the thought Of Love Eternal
Time began its course in night;
Twas the Evening and the Morning,
First the darkness, then the light.
Let US not grow weary watching
In the shadows God may send;
Darkness cannot last forever,
And the light is at the end.
SO bravely through the darkness,
For the light Is at the end.
On the paths we now are walking
Our Great Masters feet have trod;
And each weary, fostering footstep
Brings us nearer to our God.
Then in passing through the valley,
When the shadows Ger US bend,
Let us keep our courage steady,
For the light is at the end.
10 bravely through the darkness.
For the light is ut the emu.
We shall soon he called to travel
Through the vale Of deaths dark shade;
But we know who will I've with us,
And we shall not be afraid.
We shall cheer the way with music,
Walking with our Saviour Friend.
Leaning on His staff and gazing
At the light that's at the end.
20 bravely through the darkness,
For the light is at the end.

A TRAIT THAT CHARMS.

Courtesy is the oil that lessons the friction
Of contact in the world; it Is current coin
among the best part Of mankind that ekes
out small salaries upon the one side and
makes it pleasure to pay big ores on the
other; it cements friendship; it makes man
sociable animal; it sits like heritage upon
the gentleman, and gives his clothes fit no
tailor could supply; it shines from the rags
OF the beggar like a gem on an immaculate
front, and lends grace to manliness in poverty
or in aff1uence. and is the stamp all the
world over of the gentleman. while its lack
marks the boor.
1t Is a grace worth cultivating. In COM
mon parlanre it is simple ''politeness." 1t
is not serviity on the one hand nor weak
ness OH the other. 1t is recognized III high
or low, rich or poor, strong or weak, and IS
q letter Of introduction that makes its bear
er's way where wealth or fame could not
open door. or power CT name win smile
or secure recognition.
Young man, ba polite. 1t is money in
your pocket. in sense; but above that 1t Is
the finish of that dignity you must possess to
bear yourself with credit among your fel-
lows.-[The Times-Union.

HIGHEST Railroad in the World.

The Pixies Peak (Col.) Railway is
now in successful operation. The first
passenger train reached the summit at
5:25 on recent afternoon. The train
consisted of an engine and one car, oc.
cupied by sixty-fve people, mostly Dem
yer excursionists. ~,
The lower terminus of the line is 6400
feet above the sea level, and the upper
14,147. The distance is nine miles, and
the steepest grade twenty-five per cent,
or rise of one foot in four.
On the way up slight snow sqHail
was encountered, and on the summit ths
ar was unpleasantly cool, even with
heavy overcoats. The engine used on
the train weighed Forty tons. 1t operates
by cogwheels alone. The rear OF tho
locomotive is elevated so that the boiler
is notably level when on the heaviest
grades. The passenger coaches DO not
differ materially from ordinary Pullman
coaches.-St. Louis Star-Sayings.

READ WHAT YOU WANT 70 KNOW.

1t is quite impossible to lay down rules
for reading that will suit al children, and
generally difficult to map out a course
TO be intiexibly pursued by any one. But
nearly every mind is or can be interested in
something, and very good plan Is to en-
courage reading concernin. the subject the
child shows some curiosity about. One
thing will certainly lead to another, for
nothing is isolated in this world. Try to
find out all you can about one thing, one
fact in history, one person. the habits ofonee
animal, the truth about one historical
character; pursue this, and before you
know it you will be q scholar in many
things.
DO not forget that reading is means to
an emu. The indulgence of it is good or bad
according to the end in view. The mind is
benefited by pursuing some definite sub
ect until it Is understood, but it is apt to be
impaired by idly nibbling now and then,
tasting thousand things and swallowing
none, in short, by desutory reading.-[St.
Nicholas.

CRAzY-CEoTH sCARFs.

There Is material sold in the dry
goods stores called crazy-cloth, or cotton
crepe. 1t comes in white, yellow, pale
blue, and pink. Any of these shades
can be used for scarfs to throw over the
back of chair, around a picture-frame
or easel, or drapery for mantel. Now
I will tell you how to make your scarf
more decorative.
Cut the length you wish the scarf to
be-a yard and half or two yards
hem it on all four sides with a hem an
inch wide. Above the hem draw out
four or five threads all around. If you
can draw we'll enough, draw in outline a
branch of leaves, or get pattern stamped
in come fancy store. Outline over the
drawing with colored silk or cotton in a
color that will look we'll with the color
of the cloth. The pattern need be only
on one end, but may be on both. It may
be as elaborate as you may care to make
it, or a very simple design. .-Harper's

California Trout.

@The Eagle" boasts the Red Cliff
(Cal.) Times, sis one of the finest trout
streams in the State. Having its sourcs
iu'the high mountain ranges, with tnsir
perpetual snow covered tops, it has a
plentiful supply of clear, cold water aE
all seasons of the year, and its bed breeds
myriads of fresh water insects, which,
during high water, are washed down in
its rapid current, supplying a plentiful
feed for the ravenous trout, and hence
they thrive. A two-year-old trout in
the Eagle weighs from one.half of a
pound to a pound, or even more, and
they are always plump and fat"

WHAT WILL MAKE HEAVEN ATTRACT We?

Is it the pearly gates or golden streets
Heaven will be attractive because there we
shall behold Him whom we love. What
makes home attractive? Is it the beautiful
furniture and stately rooms? No. some
homes with all these arc like white sepul-
,hres. In Brooklyn mother was dying,
and it was necessary to take her child from
her because she disturbed her mother.
Every night the child sobbed herself
asleep in O neighbor's house, because she
wanted to 60 back to mothers arms:
mothers arms. At last the mother died
and was buried without the childs knowl-
edge. Then the child was taken home.
She ran from room to room calling Mamma,
mamma ~ and when she failed to find her
loved one she cried to be taken back to the
peighbor's. So, heaven is heaven to Us be-
cause Christ is there.

CLERKS MUST WEAR BLACK.

In all the large retail dry goods houses
of Philadelphia the women clerks are re.
uuired to wear black. Some of the stores
in summer relax the rule, so that the
girls are permitted to wear white waists
or Jerseys, but the skirts must be black.
No lively colors are allowed, not even q
rose. Two young ladies sought to break
over the barriers the other day by ap.
pearing in pretty hellotrope dresses, but
both were at once sent home to change
their dresses, with the stern adnlonition
to not lot the thing occur again.-NeU

"NO RIVER HERE"

When Bishop Haven was about to die, he
cried out with joyful surprise, why,
there is 10 river here!" He seems to have
expected a crossing over a mystic Jordan IN
'eaching his home alone, but was happily
disappointed in finding no such stream. HIS
lying experience and testimony are striking
disclaimers against the notion OF the CHRIS
Ian poets and against the popular view OF TO-
lay as heard in our common religious par
lance, and read in our current religious
literature, that, in reaching the abodes OF the
.edecmcd, some dark and forbidden waters
must be crossed.-[Sheridan Baker.

BOWLING AND oUo1Ts FOE WOMEN.

BOWLING AND QUoITs FOR WOMEN.
Bowling has come to be recognized as
o standing attraction in the way of win
ter sport, and an excellent substitute is
provided for summer use in the game of
lawn bowls. A number of different
sized black balls are provided, flattened
at one side. These are numbered, and
two light wooden balls are used in play
ing. This is very much like the origi-
nal game of bowls which was played in
olden times on the green, and IS full of
interest. A very large lawn is not re-
quired for the playground, and a great
deal of interest is attached to the game.
1t is as simple as the game of tenpins,
and fully as fascinating for outdoor
amusen emf. Quoits have long been rec
ognized as good game among men, but
there is no reason why it should not be
popular with women, if the weights are
not made too heavy. As substitute for
this, however, the game of ring-toss has
been provided. Rings formed of light
materials arc thrown at series OF pegs,
each ono possessing different value.
The game is made up by the person scor-
ing the greatest number of points IN a
certain number of throws, and much &C.
curacy is sometimes attained by the
players. Somewhat similar to this is
pitchette. A large board is furnished,
upon which are series of pegs, each
one bearing a number. This board Is
intended to stand upright, and rings are
thrown at it from certain distance so as
to catch and hang upon one of the pegs.
Much skill is called for in the playing of
the game, and the first attempts are gen.
orally lamcntable, which shows that there
is mere to the game than is imagined at
first sight.-Harper's Basar.

LACE FOR WRAPS.

Lace is the material par excellence for
wraps, which are made in an infinite va
riety of form and are often ornamented
with jet. A lace cape that is much the
vogue is of wide founcing, either gath
cred to frill about the neck or attached
to pointed yoke of jetted lace finished
at the neck with q Medici collar Of the
same material. This cape is fitting ac-
compartment to dress with a garniture
of lace or is equally effective over plain
costume of gray, tan or mauVe.-Chicagc

The po.sessor came forth from his little
cottage; he was woodcutter by trade,
and spent the whole day at work in the
woods He was coming into the garden to
gather flowers to stick In his coat when he
went TO church. He saw the boy. and break
ing OIL the most beautiful Of his carnations,
which was streaked with red and white, he
gave it to him. Neither the cver nor the
receiver said word and with bounding
steps the boy ran home. And now, here at

events Of so many years, the feeling OF
gratitude which agitated the breast of that
boy expresses itself on paper The carna-
ton has long since withered. but now
