A Fashionable Hobby.

Bibliomania is at the present moment
the fashionable hobby of the French
grande dame and of the leaders of Pa
risian society. Among the principal
collectors are the Duchesse de Chartres,
the Comtesse de L'Aigle, the Comtesse
de Nadaillac, the Comtesse de la Fer
ronays and the young and brilliant Com
tesse de Gretfulhe, who is spending enor-
nous sums in the purchase of rare old
editions of the Seventeenth and Eight
eenth centuries. Nor is this fad confined
to the ladies of the great world, for sew
eral of the shining lights Of the half
world have developed the same taste,
and quite frequently at book sales the
notorious Leonide Leblanc, the fair
friend of the Due d'Aumale, may be
seen bidding against the latter's royal
niece, the Duchesse de Chartres.

high and correspondingly broad, with
torn edges to the flaps. Cut from bristol
board like envelope, trihe smaller,
to serve as lining. This must be COW
cred with China silk of hue to match
the shading you put on the envelope.
The whole is intended for letter pock-
ct, and after the shading is done-on
the back only, for the front of the en-
velope will become the back of the let
ter pocket-put in the silk covered bris-
tol board. The upper flap will Of course
be left up and loose puff of silk around
the opening may be caught in places
over the edges, thus serving to fasten
the lining without showing any stitches.
If preferred, the lower part of the en-
volope, instead of being gu,nmed to-
gether, may be cut so the edges will
meet, but not lap, and may be laced to-
gether with silk cord. The same idea
may be developed into glove, handker-
chief or cravat case, though of course
these must all be made to close and not
hang on the wall. For the gloves and
cravats the envelopes must be very long
and narrow. They should, moreover, be
to their flaps to tie them with.
One of the large envelopes, not lined,
but tinted on both sides and ornamented
on the front would be suitable gift for
a friend going travelling. Inside are put
tiny envelopes, all tinted to correspond
one holding pins and safety pins, one
little address book, one calendar An
other may contain a memorandum book
with bit Of pencil attached, fifth
holds court plaster and sixth is for
pens and postage stamps. Each small
envelope should be labeled with the
name of its contents.
One of these tinted envelopes, the
right size, will make very pretty case
for photographs to lay ON table. Still
another can be made to do duty for
holding supply of stationery.

PRETTY CONCElTS,
Number of Uses to Which the Octave
Envelope May BE Put.

Number of Uses to Which the Octave
Envelope May BE Put.
An ordinary octave envelope is COM
mon enough thing, but, opened and en-
ployed as a pattern, it will aid you in
making articles whose use and beauty
will surprise you. When the envelope
has been ungummed, lay it fiat on
sheet of water color paper and draw the
pattern lightly with pencil, enlarging it
to any dimensions, but keeping the pro-
portion of parts Cut out with scissors
Or knife all but the outer flaps; those
are to have torn edges. Fold the new
envelope in shape, cumming it all ex-
cept the last flap When dry, shade the
front and back with cobalt blue in water
color, from deep color on one side to
palest blue on the other. Then lay
aside to dry while you are preparing
sheet of cotton wadding just large
enough to fill it.
This is pulled apart, some sachet pow
der put in and the cotton folded together
again. Next paint on the front Of the
envelope three or four large daisies, out
lining the petals with deep cobalt blue.
The centers are indicated by dash of
gliding, and the edges of the envelope
are finished with it also, tiny line,
scarcely showing unless one looks at the
edge. Insert the perfumed cotton, seal
the envelope and put an irregular splash
of gold to represent the seal. If you
wish, print in fancy gold lettering on the
front some appropriate words. This
idea can be carried out with different
colored paints, lavender, for example,
when heliotrope or violet perfume is
used, rose color with rose powder, etc.
The flowers to correspond may be paint
ed outside
Take your pattern again and cut out
of the paper as before large envelope,
which when folded will be six inches

Lophophore Trimmings.

Lophophore trimmings, boas, muffs
and hats are all the rage just now among
the smartest society of the Old World.
The lophophore is peculiar Indian
bird, the delicate and exquisitely beauti-
full feathers of which are prepared by a
charitable society at Paris organized by
several great ladies for the purpose of
giving employment to destitute girls.
Among the most active patronesses of
the association are the empress of Aus
tria, the queen of Roumania, the two
queens of Spain and the various prin-
cesses of the royal house of Orleans.
Owing to their efforts lophophore is
worn now at all the great entertain
ments. 1t formed quite feature of the
last court ball of Vienna and figured ex-
tensively in the trousseau of the Duke of
Clarence's maiden widow.

Doesn't "look" as she ought
the weak, nervous and ailing wo-
man. As long as she suffers from
the aches, pains, and arrangements
peculiar to her sex, she can't ex.
pect to.
But there's only herself to blame.
With DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, she's different woman.
And it's change that can be seen
as we'll as felt. The system is in
vigorated, the blood enriched, di-
gestion improved, melancholy and
nervousness dispelled.
With the "Favorite Prescription"
all the proper functions are restored
to healthy action. Periodical pains,
weak back, bearing-down sensations,
nervous prostration, all female
complaints 3" are cured by it. It's
the only medicine for woman's
weaknesses and ailments that's
guaranteed to do what is claimed
for it. If it doesn't give satisfac-
ton, in every case for which it's rec
commended, the money is returned.
Can something else offered by
the dealer, though it may pay him
better, be "just as good"?

The Ever Present Crisis.

Once to every man and nation comes the mo-
ment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood, for the
good or evil side;
Some great cause, Gods new Messiah, offering
each the bloom or blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand and the
sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt that
darkness and that light.
Careless seems the great avenger; history's
pages but record
One death grapple in the darkness 'twixt old
systems and the Word
Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever
ON the throne
Yet that scaffold sways the future and behind
the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping
watch above his own.
Then to side with truth is noble when we share
her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and tits
prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses, while the
coward stands aside,
Doubling in his abject spirit till his Lord is
crucifed,
And the multitude make virtue of the faith
they had denied.
For humanity sweeps onward; where today the
UldTbyT
On the morrow crouches Judas, with the silver
in his hands;
Far in front the cross stands ready and the
cracking fagots burn,
While the looting mob of yesterday in silent
awe return
To CLEAN up the scattered ashes into history's
golden urn.
They have rights who dare maintain them; we
are traitors to our sires,
Smothering in their holy ashes freedoms new
lit altar fires;
Shall 0e mako their creed our jailer2 Shall
WE, in our haste to slay,
From the tombs of the old parties steal the
funeral lamps away
To light up the martyr fagots round the proph-
cts Of today?
New occasions teach new duties; Time makes
ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward who owould
keep abreast of Truth;
Lo. before US gleam our camp fires: we ourselves
must pilgrims be,
Launch our Mayflower and steer boldly through
the desperate sea,
Nor attempt the futures portals with the past's
blood rusted key.

A WOman's Adieu.

a OhAten kAAAous
Our love is donel
Iwould not have it back, I say,
would not have my whole year Mayi
But yet for our dead passions sake,
Kiss me once more and strive to make
Our last kiss the supremest one.
For love is done.
Our love is donel
And still my eyes with tears are wet,
Our souls are stirred with vague regret;
We gaze farewell, yet cannot speak,
And firm resolve grows strangely weak.
Though hearts are twain that once were
one,
Since love is done.
But love is done!
know it, VOW it, and that kiss
Must set flnis to our bliss.
Yet when l felt thy mouth meet mine
My life again seemed half divine,
Our very hearts together runl
Can love be done?
Can love be done?
Who cares if this be mad or wise?
Trust not my words, but read my eyes.
Thy kiss bade sleeping love awake
Then take me to thy heart; ahl take
The life that with thine own is one,
Love is not done!

Our Titled Friends.
Yes, yes: Jedge Thacker, he's the man
AS all the folks are praisin.
How came he to be jedge? Well, now,
Your ignorance is amazin.
His dad was always 'lected squire
Bout every time he run,
And when the old man died we hitched
The title to his son.
And thar's the colonel-come nowhere!
Seems like you're too inquirin;
Old Colonel Blood. You sut'nly know
His title came of firin.
What'd he fire on? Why, on the Fourth
He made things fairly shake;
He always touched the cannon off
And kept the boys awake.
Old Cap'n Cuddle, he SO old,
Thar's skacely any livin
As knows by whom or what or how
His rank to him was given.
Pears like to me, though years ago,
1t used to be the talk,
And that they called him cap'n, kase
He always walked the chalk.
Tell you what! When to facts you're
pinned,
Be high or low your station,
It's kinder hard to be exact
Without exaggeration.
And when you ask me for the truth,
own I'm rather slow,
What makes title genoowin?
Well, durn me, If know

Or festal throng with hearts on pleasure bent,
But some neglected one outside the gate
Wept tears of discomfort.
There never was bridal morning, fair
With Hopes blue skies and Loves unclouded
sun
For two fond hearts, that did not bring despair
To some sad other one.
ELLA Wheeler Wilcox.
