She A acquired and Utilized the Manly Art.

II have friend who has very pretty
and exceedingly muscular wife" said
Thomas A. Holt. Like most handsome
women, especially those who live in the
smaller cities, she had been much annoyed
by the rude staring and Sinking of street
corner loungers, and she determined to re-
sent it in vigorous and effective manner
Her husband is an expert boxer, and with
out saying anything about her plan she
began to take daily lessons in the manly
art. At the end of six months she had
a muscle like a prizefighter. Then she
girded up her health corset and went on
the warpath for the genus masher.
"She soon found victim. A big fellow
in suit loud enough for firebell gave
her prolonged stare of insolent admira-
ton. She repaid him with her sweetest
smile and he was quickly at her side. Then
she read him brief lecture, reached out
with her left and caught one of his asst
nine ears and held him fast, while with
her right she played a tattoo on his face
that made it look like an UNDERGONE beef
steak, winding up the exhibition by knock
ing him into the street. 1t was not very
ladylike perhaps, but it had salutary
effect on the masculine irresistibles of that
town."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Empire Belt.

The Empire belt is worn with every kind
of dressy gown, and is in all fashionable
colors. 1t is usually made of soft silk with
an oxidized or gold buckle in front and a
bold rosette almost as large as a cabbage
at the back. 1t is by no means "univer-

are charming belts of oxidized silver, in
all sorts of shapes, that look much nicer.
Some have a pointed front piece, which
gives length to the figure. The gilt belts
studded with colored stones are too snowy
for outdoor wear.

Little Brown Hands.

Little Brown Hands.
They drive home the COWS from the pasture,
Up through the long, shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud in the wheat
field,
All yellow with ripening grain.
They find In the thick waving grasses,
Where the scarlet dipped strawberry grows,
They gather the earliest snowdrops
And the first crimson buds of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder blooms white
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft tinted autumn light.
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than 1taly's wines;
They know where the fruit is the thickest
On the long, thorny blackberry vines.
They gather the delicate seaweeds,
And build tiny castles of sand
They pick up the beautiful seashells-
Fairy banks that have drifted to land.
They wave from the tall, rocking tree tops,
Where the orioles hammock nest swings,
And at nighttime are folded in slumber
By a song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest;
The humble and poor become great,
And from those brown handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of state
The pen of the author and statesman,
The noble and wise of our land;
The sword and the chisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown hand.

The Fashionable Calling Card.

There is no more important factor in
social life than the visiting card. Ac-
cording to the stern DEGREES of fashion,
this bit of pasteboard plays n tyrant's
part, and one might as well be dead as
out of the fashion in visiting cards, to
say nothing Of other less important
things.
This season the visiting card will be
nearly square in shape, slightly smaller
than those of last year; pure white, of n
highly polished but not glazed surface;
the name engraved in script through
the middle of the card; the address in
the lower right hand corner, and the
day of receiving in the lower left hand
corner.
The card should spell out the hus-
bands given name in full and not give
initials, and never include title or
profession. A daughter the first year
of her going into society must have her
name added on her mothers card
After that, if the eldest, she may have
her own card, with Miss Jones or Miss
De Puyster, as the case may be.-New

Microbes from Old Graves.

It is asserted that the efforts to abolish
infectious diseases, such as scarlet fever
and diphtheria, are frustrated by the
burial of infected bodies, for though the
microbes themselves may die their
spores, or seeds, have very great vitality.
Pasteur's researches have proved that
earthworms bring up TO the surface
microbes from the bodies of infected
animals buried several feet deep. Oar
win showed in one case that in fifteen
years they had accumulated worm mold
over three inches in depth, and in an.
other case during eighty years had ac-
cumulated an average depth of more
than foot.
In field in the Jura, where n diseased
COW had been buried at depth of nearly
seven feet, Pasteur found that the mold
which he collected two years later con.
tained germs which on being inoculated
into guinea pig produced death from
the same disorder of which the COW died.
Ina Yorkshire village part of n dsused
graveyard was taken into the rectory gar.
den adjoining. On the earth being dug
over scarlet fever broke out in the rec.
tory nursery and thence spread over the
village. 1t proved to be of the same
type as that from which. thirty years
before, the victims died who were buried
in that particular part of the churchyard.

Mountain Peasant. in Now York.

The mountaineer peasants of northern
Italy and the Tyrol are unusual among
the immigrants TO this country, but one
now and then encounters them upon the
streets of New York, where they are
easily recognized by their great stature,
sturdy legs and shoulders. hard sun
Drowned features and felt hats, creased
in imitation of Kossuth's headgear, and
ornamented with the scimitar like cocks
feather. Their footgear, too, is dis

such an article of apparel us it seems no
man would dare venture out with in

The Sweat of His Brow,

A Sebec young man has demonstrated
what pluck and persistent work can do.
On one of the streets of that village
stands good sized dwelling house, with

stories, and the set Of buildings is really
nice in design and finish-one of the
best in that place. This fact is remark
able, because it is all the work of boy
(now twenty years old), who has had no
means to start with. He has performed
nearly all the labor with his own hands
in spare time. When his money for
material ran short, he would work out
and earn more, thus not running in debt
for anything. He is unmarried, but the
