THE 1NpEscnrnAnLE pARAso1s.

Is it of use to try and soy word about
the parasols2 They're as indescribable
rs summer clouds and about as unsub-
stantial. They're very large this year,
and they have cloissonne handles most
delicately enameled. Some are egg
shaped and some flare quite like UNI
brellas; these statements arc more or less
prosy and definite, but when it comes to
the coverings then toss up gauze and
jewels and imagine them floating in air.
Clear yellow crepe is one example, en-
broidered in gold boss with daisies, with
ruches of crepe festooned from point to
point, and deep, double crepe fiounces
depending. Crepe rosettcs bury the stick
point where it projects from the Canopy.
White gauze is another gossamer cx-
ample. A broad gold band has been
woven in tinsel threads into the sub
stance, and this circles it in fcstoons
caught up with square bows and
ends. From point to point droop lace
founces.
A third canopy is of pale lavender
crepe. The violets with which it is
dotted have cost many weary week in
their embroidery. Crepe ruchcs run
down each rib and about the circle in
deep Vandyke pointings. Below the
ruches are triple crepe flouncings.-Chi-
cago Nens.

Says the Chicago Mers: "Therc is
much comment on the discovery that
more men relatively are employed in the
Ohio schools than in those of any other
Northern State. On the contrary,
Massachusetts, leads in the proportion of
women teachers. Some persons are dis.
posed fo'thlnk that tha.situation an OHIO
is not crcditablcso Ahc State. But there
is one fact which cannot be disputed,
and that is that tpe Ohio schools in every
worthy regard compare. favorably with
those of Massachusetts or any other
State in the Union.

WASHING wAsu.s1LKs.

Wash silks may be washed successfully,
although many dismal failures have made
1t doubted. They must not certainly be
washed in the tub with other things. A.
strong warm suds made with any white
soap comes first; the silk must be rubbed
very lightly; hot water, washing powers
and alkali soaps are fatal to the beauty
of wash silks. Thorough rinsing in
tepid water, followed by further rinsing
in cold water with little vinegar in it,
makes the wash silks Us good as new.
With these directions for a laundress, no
one need hesitate to follow where fancy
leads in choosing wash silks for blouses,
which will be worn more than ever next
summer. -Boston Transcript.

Kansas Philosophy.

A gossip is always willing to be
liar.
No man wants to be religious as bad
as he don't want to be. .
The best friend man has is the
friend who makes him the least trouble.
Deal in flattery if you would learn
how few people are not subject to
vanity.
The reason for doing bad thing is.
never as good as the reason for not
doing it.
When tho average man prays for his
nelghbor, the Lord hears lots of gossip.
Every dollars worth of prohibited.
fun you have costs two dollars in repent
ance.
Stand guard over your thoughts. that
they may not make you the prisoner of
feeble friend.
Give man that which he particu-
larly longs for, and in five minutes he
longs for something else
SO many girls of sixteen who imagine,
they are dying of broken hearts, can
scarcely wait until the dinner bell
rings.
There is a sound foundation for the.
doctrine of forgiveness. If man robs
you, 1t Is cheaper to forgive him than to
go to law. II a man owes hundred
dollars, it will cost you more than that

A VERY FAsuIoNAnLE wEpp1Ne.

At recent very fashionable wedding
the bridesmaids wore pink silk dresses
brocadcd with white margueritcs; white
silk shirred hats trimmed with white
plumes and pink roses. Their moss
green velvet Henri Deux coats were
lined with pink silk. The two little
pages of honor, who acted MS train
bearers, were attired in white "Jack
Tar" suits, and wee maid of honor
walked in dcmurely just little in ad-
vance of the bridal party, in a. dress of
pink chiffon of many airy short skirts,
her dimpled neck and arms bare, and her
head mass of short golden curls.
"Cupidine" she was called, and she
carried silver bow in her hands, twincd
with orange blossoms, and six little arrows
were slung across her shoulder at the
back, these tipped with gold and
"fcathered" with valley lily sprays.
During part of the service the brides
maids chanted very beautiful wedding
hymn, and the ceremony itself was
carried on soto voce between the minis
ter and the contracting parties" the
service being inaudable to any person
present save "Jac-- Tar" and "Cupidine, -"

OPERATE EsAraEnrn PETS,

Birds have been ignored for some time
as women's pet and playthings, but bull
inches are to be taken into favor again
with quite new zest. They are very
fascinating in their ways, and become
wonderfully tame. There is craze just
now in London, England, for we'll

Garden, gets from fifty to sixty dollars
Tor an accomplished bird. Teaching
the dear little things is work requiring
much patience. They are arranged in
classes, as it were, each set learning n
particular tune. They are kept in
dim light, and whistled to over and over
again by someone with perfectly cor
rect ear; for the bird musicians, not be-
ing students of harmony, pick up wrong
notes as readily as right ones. 1t is
pretty to see them with their sleek little
black heads on one side listening to their
teacher as he trills away to them. 1t is
still prettier to hear them try o7er their
lesson just like little human scholar,
falteringly at first, and gradually be-
coming holder and holder, until at last
they pipe an air from the "Nflkado,n or
Carmen up to Date" as correctly as,
ana indefinitely more swcetly than their
teacher From their dear little throats
1t sounds like natures own melody, and
we catch ourselves wondering if Sir
Arthur Sullivan and Mr.. Meyer Lutz are
plagiarists of the birds songs. There is

A LADY CHESTERFIELD.

Here is an extract from letter written
by mother to her daughter. 1t is its
own comment:
"DEAR DAUGHTER-I want to tell you
secret. The way to make yourself
pleasing to others is to show that you
care for them. The whole earth is like
the MILLER OF Mansfield who cared for
hobody-no, not he-becausc nobody
cared for him. Let every one see that
you do care for them by showing them
the small, sweet courtesics of life, in
which there is no parade. This consti-
tutes the sum total of all the witchcraf't
of women. "-Dotroit Free Press,

Koch's remedy is now to be called instead
of Kochine as heretofore. This is a
sensible name, comments the Chicago
Post, provided the anti-tuberculosis
remedy proves to be the specific it is
claimed to be. Scientists have an I'm.
usual fondness for perpctuating their
names in their discoveries, but the
greater the discovery aud the discoverer
the less need for such en- exhibit of
vanity. Even the name of Herschcl was
dropped for that of Uranus to bring the
names of the planets into desirable
conformity in NEUROLOGICAL nomen-
clature. AS to Tuberculine, it is to be
hoped that the adoption of the new name
will Danish the misleading and incorrect
name 'slymph" by which the remedy has
heretofore been designated.

NEW METHOD OF WAVING TIE HAM.

There is new method of waving the
hair at the side, by which it will remain
in undulations for two or three weeks.
Tiny little curls and combs can he cum
ningly inserted wherever they are re-
quired, and for those who prefer to wave
their hair themselves, there is clever
continuance, by which tress is twisted
between wires, and kept firmly in place
until the desired effect is produced. In
Paris the coifTures are worn fat to the
head and to meet the wants of those who
tend to follow the coming fashion OF the
catognn, NJ. Sobocinski has introduced a
new twist for the back of the head,
which ends at the nape of the neck in
curls. This is long strand of hair
which, to- be manipulated, is held in the
centre, the two ends intertwisted, and
the curled points slipped through the
loop at the top. This produces pretty
effect, and it can be also formed into a
