j. G. Holland, writing over his own name
in Scribners Monthly, said:
''It is fact that many of the best propri-

their popularity secures and advertises

In his diary under date of October 3,
1889. Gen George Washington made
this entry: ''Sat for Ramage near two

on ivory. is now in the possession of
Harry ;. Stabler, of Lynchburg, Va. 1t
was painted by Ramage, an Irish min

time. for Mrs. Washington. from whom
Betty Washington. afterward Mrs. Betty
Lewis, had it. She in turn left it to her

sudden Changes That Battle the Weather

In the capricious climates of our tenn
perate ATTITUDES just determination
and comparison form a battling task.
Observations, more or less systematic,
with instruments, have been made of
Chronological features for about a hun
dred years, but on a general coopera-
tive plan they have been carried on inn
perfectly for less than third of that
time, or about the period within which
some observers suppose a round of
meteorological changes is accomplished
for a single locality. Popular opinions
are founded most largely on haphazard
recollections of vague impressions that
cannot he depended upon; and even if
we had accurate records in place of
these, they would not be used TO deter
mine the trend of climate on account
Of the short time they cover. 1t has
happened more than once during that
time that a series of seasons of n pecul-
iarly marked character has been fol-
lowed abruptly by a series of opposite
character, multiplying the conclusions
that may have been taking shape from
the former series. The speculations
concerning a decrease of rainfall in the
United States in consequence of the re-
moval of the forests have been dis
turbed by the recent prev alence, in
part of the disforested area, of sue
cession of seasons of heavy and con-
ti1uous rains. w. III. Larrabec, in Pop

back to the top of the cliff. but in that
minute Ches had started on his way TO
the shore. Charlie saw his white, re-
treating form, and still nearly insane
with terror, he turned and resumed
his headlong flight in the opposite
direction. Without knowing or caring
whittier he went, so long as he es-
capped the specter that he fancied was
pursuing him, he plunged deep into
the shadOwy recesses of the Seven Mile
woods
When his terror at last began to sub
| side, Charlie discovered that he was ut
terly and hopelessly bewildered. All
night long he wandered about, trying to
/ find his way out of the dark and silent
/ forest, but in vain.
On the following day he still contin-
ued his efforts, but he met with no bet
ter success. As is often the case with
people who lose their way, he travelled
in circle and so made no progress; and
/ he was obliged to spend another night
in the gloomy forest. The next day
/ was passed in the same way as the first
| had been, and he became very weak and
footsore, having had nothing to eat but
a few berries and the bark of trees dur
| ing all that time.
/ At last, in the evening of the second
/ day, he suddenly came out into beaten
road With a thrill of JOY he recog-
/ nized it as the one leading from Silva
/ to hillside, and he eagerly set ont upon
the homeware way. encountering Ches
by the old graveyard. When he fell in

I home.
Ches soon came out of his fainting
| fit, but he was dclirious from brain
/ fever brought on by the mental agony
/ that he had endured and the shock of
seeing Charities ghost, as he supposed;
/ aud for weeks he fought a terrible bat
/ tie with death. Sometimes he would
scream for Charlie, and then he would
call himself his murderer and beg them
not to hang him.
Charlie stood by the siclS-bed night
/ and day, assisting Mr.. and Mrs. Flint
and caring for Ches like brother; but
/ for long time his life was despaired
4 of. The cruel fever burned and wasted
his strength and vitality till he was
/ weaker than little child. AT last he
came to himself as has already been
/ narrated.
From the moment that the great
/ weight was lifted from his mind, Ches
improved rapidly. He soon regained
/ his health and strength, but never aft
erward did he attempt to brighten any
ore for sport, or allow Others to do so
/ if he could hinder it. Charlie too, al
though never as courageous as some
people are, lost in great measure his
| foolish and unreasoning cowardice dur
4 ing his forty-eight hours wanderings in
the Seven Mile woods.
Certain il is that the sharp lesson was
not lost on either of the boys, and they
always felt deeply grateful to the pow
er that saved them from the death to
which they both came so near, through
/ the unforeseen consequences of a
thoughtless boys practical joke.-o. e.

what Shall We share.

Sharing what we have with others is
very well NJ times. and again it is very far
from well 1t is right for us to share
our bre ID with the hungry, but if we
have food that is poisoned, we have no
right to share it with anyone else. Our
spiritual encouragements can be shared
with our fellows, but our special temp
tations and evil imaginings had better
be kept to ourselves. We can be for
ward in giving others share of our
pleasures, but we should hesitate be-
fore asking another to share our griefs
and mental bewilderments. Character
is shown in what we refrain from shar-
ing, as truly as in what we are willing
to share. sundays School Times

NEW STYLES IN PARASOLS.
Designs in Sunshades That are Delicate
and Dainty.

Designs in Sunshades That are Delicate
and Dainty.
Plain coaching parasols and eUr tons
have gone into retirement to give place
to more fanciful parasols that are nee
essary adjuncts to the elaborate cos
tunes soon to be worn in the park and
for afternoon visits in town and coun-
try. Thin light fabrics-gauze, chiffon,
silk mulls, crepe de Chine, and net
form the greater part of the parasols,
and are made up in puffs vertical, hori-
zontal or pyramidaD by shirring or
plaits, with one or two selvage frills
finishing the edge like founce. To
prevent the shielding canopy being too
transparent, these diaphanous fabrics
are usually gathered over an inner
layer of thin silk. puff or large chou
is around the top, and another is ON the
handle. The new shapes are of medium
size, less like an umbrella than those of
last summer, and have eight cores
gracefully curved from center to tin.
A great deal of jet is used for deco
rating parasols, in ornaments of fcur-
de-lis shape, stars or bow-l1nOts. For
all-black parasols moire win be liked
with plain edge, or bordered with
lace, also polka-dotted satins with large
and small dots together. Turquoise as
large as nail-heads are on the black net
parasols to be used by those wearing
collars. Small sprays of heather or other
flowers are fastened in net covers that
are gathered over surah cores Chew
ron-striped silks make pretty waving
lines around plain parasols, of tan,
cream, blue-gray or cardinal shades.
Changeable taffeta silk parasols for
general use are in the closely-rolled
shapes, or with club sticks and tops.
Sun-umbrellas of blue, cardinal or black
silk in twenty-four to twenty-six inch
sizes are rolled slenderly, with natural
twisted handles of cherry, furze or Mad
agascar wood. Filigree silver is APP
piled to other plain wood handles while
those with crooks of ivory or colored
horn are studded with small fleur-de-lis
of gold or silyer.-Harper Bazaar.
