Little Happiness. fin Stately Mansions.

Well, tell you what has struck me most" said MT. G. F.. Dickinson. 1t is the large and magnificent houses in sev- eral of our great cities built by million aires and the small amount of real com fort or happiness which the millionaires seem to get out of them. Dickens, fin one of his novels, portrays with vivid touch the real life of one of the city men whose magnificent mansion was the talk of the town. It has often occurred to me that there are many New York millionaires whose peace of mind is no greater than that of the character whom he sets down.
 Somehow there seems to hang over a number of these stately mansions a shadow of gloom. In the west it is the same. Some of those great houses look as deserted as if the men who built them and every relative had been forgotten and the houses were the only reminders that they once existed. To tell the truth, there is too much rush, believe, over the making of money to enjoy the sup posed happiness which it brings."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

PICTURE GOWN. SpanlSn lace Tn a wide jabot. The princesse back is of soft China silk in delicate wood brown and green, and the deep band of velvet around the skirt is of moidore brown velvet. There is ruff of lace around the neck. The draping is very graceful and the whole makes dress that is a real pleasure to the eye.
 Of course each lady should choose the colors best suited to her complexion, and notifications can be made in any man. ner to please the owner. A pretty change is to have the sleeves shirred two to three inches wide in the middle of the arm. If it is intended only for tea gown, salmon pink and moss green make a beautiful combination. So do brown and ivory, blue and brown, and there are many other combinations that artistic taste or the fruits of the remnant counter may suggest.
 By that 1 mean that in many of the largest stores short lengths of silk, satin velvet, etc., suitable for the fronts or backs of gowns, can be bought at a con- siderable reduction from the price it would have cost if cut from the piece, and by aid of this fortunate circum- stance many ladies of very limited income manage to dress very handsome ly. It would need about 2t yards of faille and 4 of India to make this hand. some gown, and if the fair young wearer can make it herself it could be made at cost of not over six dollars. Just think! and will keep in style an indefi- nite period. And they call us extrava- gant!
 Some of the dainty minor fancies of the season are too lovely to describe and too cunning to put in unfeeling type, but l must say word in favor of the exquisite bits of aprons worn at home by ladies of all ages. One is of fine linen lawn with a lace flounce, with three rosettes of white ribbon catching up the festOons of the flounce. The heart shaped bib is held up by two white rosettes and the strings are each two yards long, of ribbon, and tie in long loops and ends.
 There is an exquisite gown which was recently finished for Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt by the ladies tailor of New York, and l verify believe that the idea was stolen from Ella Wheeler Wilcox, as it is just like one of her gowns. It is of Alderney colored cheyiot,

The story of wonderful phenomenon comes from Rossville, nineteen miles west of Topeka, on the Union Pacific. For nineteen days, it is said, rain fell in- cessantly on the orchard belonging to H. Klein, prominent Rossville resident. This orchard is in the town and is bound ed on the east by Mir. Klein's residence, on the other three sides by lines of fences. The rain did not fall outside of MT. Klein's premises, but for nineteen days there was no intermission in the fall, and it was only stopped by cold snap. Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Serve Thines Hot,

Serving things hot, too, goes long way; if cooks could only be made to realize that hot food is very rarely criti- cised they would be more careful in this respect, An experienced housekeeper said the other day, "The real reason that my things are so much liked is not that they are one bit nicer than any one else's, but always see that each dish Is served SC piping hot that there is no chance for much criticism of the flavor"

Value of Amber During the Roman Elm mpire


 In such repute was amber in Rome in the time of the historian Pliny that he remarks sarcastically, "The price of a small figure in it, however diminutive. exceeds that of living healthy slave" He observes also. True it is that col lar of amber beads worn about the necks of young infants is singular preserva- tive against secret poison and counter charm for witchcraft and sorceries" He says further that as an article of per sonal ornamentation amber was used to produce limitations of precious stones by artificial staining, use to which it was peculiarly adapted owing to its brilliant luster, combined with the ease with which it could be worked and polished.

 in almost the same style. One has only to see lady in gown like this beside the highly ornarnented creations of the Parisian dressmakers to realize what per. feet taste means.
 Among the many evidences of the reign of good taste is the fact that there ia very little false hair worn now. Ladies are not ashamed if they have not heavy head of hair any more, and they dress their scanty locks as prettily as they can and stick pretty pins and shell combs into it and it is all right; great quanti- ties of rhinestone jeweled pins, stars, etc., are worn to pin the hair this sea- son; often one sees them in the street. Of course, when a woman has a fine head of hair she is going to display it, and don't blame her. I noticed the other night that Mrs. Leslie Carter has glori- ous head of hair. Glossy and red it looked, but whether red or chestnut it is magnificent and envelopes her like mantle when it is down. The style of dressing hair varies with the quantity one has and the shape of the face, but soft little curls and wavy bangs will probably never go out of fashion again. The rest of it is brought up high on the head and twisted into puffs where thin and rolls where abundant. The tight little German braids in knot at the back is best liked for street wear.

A Heal Saving Farmer

There is a farmer in Massachusetts who got his corn husked this fall with. out cost. Last spring he sowed quan- tity of red corn in his field among the yellow, and then incidentally mentioned the fact to some of the male pupils of a neighboring high school. At once they solicited the privilege of husking his corn and furnishing the refreshments besides, and he granted both. The young people had . good time and found enough red ears to satisfy them.-Phila- delphia Ledger.
