French and American pressmakers.

Says woman who has Investigated
"How many American names do you see CT
the signs of modistes in Chicago? You d.
not have to stop to think of the multiplicity
of French names you see, provided yor
give such things any thought. Some O.
these names are genuine. Some are as

French modistes in Chicago and l am moi
saying that French modiste does mo-
generally understand her business. But
know what am talking about when tel
you that most of the swell d,ca-ics that yor
see at the opera and other swagger places
where it is proper to wear such things art
made in Chicago and by American dress
makers A Partisan modiste who came
here some years ago with a shopful O
French dressnakers told me not long ago
that she had none left-that all her work
women are Americans. She says that the.
are better workers than Frenchwomen ant
that they have better idea of what al
American waman ought to wear and how
she ought to have it made. ''-Chicagt

HOME AND FRIENDS.

There's power to make each hour
As sw Get us iica zen designed it;
Nor need we roam. tn bring it home.
Though few there he that find it.
< We seek too high for things close by.
And lose what ns:':'c gave US:
For life hath here Ito Charms so dear
As home ;.ii.i friends around us.
We oft destroy the present joy
And future hopes, uor praise them.
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet
If we'd but stoop to raise them.
For things so fair still greater are
When youths bright spell hath bound III
But soon we're taught that earth hal
naught
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
Do show us still that, come what will,
We are not quito forsaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
From friendships altar crowned us,
"Twould prove the bliss of earth was this
Our home and friends around us.

SLEEPS LULLABY.

Dear Sleep, thou art my mercifulest friend.
When, tired OF all, nightly come to thee,
Thou art SO patient and SO good to me.
How gently do thy faithful hands extend
he Old sweet welcome, mothcrly, and mend
My broken toys Of nope. while at thy knee
quite forget the hurtful things to be.
And When l feel Thee touch M brow and benz
To kiss n ne eyes, love to put my hand
Into thine own-to feel that thou art near:
10 nestle closely to thy peaceful breast.
And hear thy lullaby about that land
Sung of so softly, where there is 10 tear,
And where the weary are for aye at rest

A Visiting Eagle,

Even when half tanned and provided will
food, the sea eagle does not lose it's preda
tory habits. A full grown young bird
which had met with some injury, was kept
for some weeks and fed by the gardener at
an old castle in the west which has beer
the home of the chiefs of Highland cla1
for perhaps as long as the cliff of which il
forms almost a part has been the eyrie Of
the sea eagles. When cured and released
it returned to be fed, and in time grew sc
familiar as to enter the house.
The dining room, as In many ancient
Scotch houses, was at the top of the castle
with several windows looking out over the
Atlantic. Breakfast was laid and many Of
the guests were in the room, when an opel
window was suddenly darkened as the
eagle flew in from the sea, and folding its
wings alighted on the sill. 1t then tapped
on to the table and after looking at the
guests standing in the room it made its
way down the table and swallowed the
butter which was set for use at intervals
down the board.
For two years the eagle lived about the
castle, but its visits to the farmyards wert
not less frequent, and though indemnify
for these outrages was freely paid, it is to b.
feared that this eagles disappearance was
due to repsisal from an injured focl
owner.-London Spectator.

death. Nothing could comfort it. The

less than fortnight that cat grew as thin

in again it was as happy as ever and grew

Medical knowledge in Novels.

Wilkie Collins made a speciality of his
medical knowledge, and it was upon
this account that he was induced to IN
dertake an antivivisection novel, which
he published under the name of Heart
and Science" The work was equally
unsatisfactory both to the persons who
inspired it and to the general public.
Wilkie Collins effort in this direction
was a complete failure, and his medical
men and his wonderful drugs could
never have existed outside of his own
imagination.
