Doorplates Out of Fashion.

How completely the doorplate has
gone out of fashion. When came to
New York to work for a living, door,
plate was as essential an insignia of gen.
tility as a bank account, and shops
where they were sold were to be found
everywhere. On the residence streets
of the better class, at a certain hour
every morning, you would see servant
on every stoop, polishing the plate up
before its owner had his breakfast. The
doorplate was with us what the marble
front step is to Philadelphia. Phila-
delphia's front steps are there yet.
Our doorplates have become things
of the past, found only on old fashioned
houses without pretensions to style.
Their places have probably been taken
by the coats of arms which fashionable
New York now pays a Frenchman to
invent or borrow for it, and which make
the titled visiting foreigner rub his eyes
when he finds his own crest over the
door of Wall street man of unknown
origin or a railroad magnate of no orr
gin at all.-New York Cor. Pittsburg

Two Views Of ChiIdren,s Training.

"How can You let your children play

woman to another the other day. even

know who may live three doors away
from you, and children win fraternize
in the most democratic way, you know"
eyes, / know" said the other mother.
"but cannot keep the children forever
indoors, nor do I think the restricted
strolls in the park particularly inspiring.
My children have always scorned their
nurses, and can't see that it does them
any harm to race up and down the
block independently. They learn things,
yes, and come to me to tell me of them.
Better they should learn them now and
have their influence promptly counter
acted. l find, too, that often the most
vicious little friend they have is the one
who is tied to his nurses French cap"

A Revolt Against Tradition.

"The two greatest American delu-
sions," said an observer of what is going
on, sis cranberry sauce and. pumpkin
pie"
in all recitals of turkey feasts we
hear great stress laid on the cranberry
sauce. For years ate it out of regard
for the customs of my ancestors. pre-
tended to like it, but l have come out as
rank rebel | will have no more of it."
Pumpkin pie is quite as big fraud.
At the best pumpkin hasn't any more
taste to it than turnip, and why it
should be made into pie and treated as
dessert l don't know. / have talked
about this thing confdentially among
my most intimate friends, and many Of
them have confessed to me under sol
emn pledge of secrecy that they don't
like pumpkin pie or cranberry sauce
either, and there is now little coterie

Exercise and Pure Air.

Exercise, as well as pure air, helps US
in our constant struggle against the
poisons that we manufacture within
ourselves. 1t does this by driving the
blood charged with oxygen, by means of
the pressure of the muscles called into
play, more thoroughly through the It's
sue, and thus it would quicken the
breaking down of dead tissue into its
safe and final waste products (water,
carbonic acid and urea), and shorten the
period during which the dead tissue
was passing through various dangerous
Srms which it temporarily assumes.
From this fact we may infer that the
man of sedentary life above all others
requires pure air.-Popular Science
Monthly.

A Club Tha. Attended Funerals,

CHASTITY organization. Its object was to
attend in body all public funerals, and
private ones where it was allowed Its
meetings were always held in cemeteries,
and members invariably dressed in SOM
Der black with Grape sashes on their
hats. The only music they had was a
hand organ, and this played nothing but

was ever seen upon the face of mem
Der in public. All kinds of gayeties,
theaters, dances and parties the men,
bers were strictly forbidden to partici-
pate in at any time; indeed it is difficult
to imagine what on earth the men COM
posing the Funeral club had to live for
anyhow.-Boston Home Journal.

A a1RDeN az THE SEA.

Iknow . little garden close,
Set thick with lily and red rose,
Where would wander IL might
From dewy morn to dewy night,
And have ono with me wandering.
And though within it no birds sing,
And though no pillared house is there.
And though the apple boughs are bare
OF fruit and blossom, would to God
Her feet upon the green grass trod,
And beheld them as before.N
There comes q murmur from the shore, !
And in the close two fair streams are
Drawn from the purple hills afar,
Drawn down unto the restless sea;
Dark hills whose heath bloom feeds no
bee,
Dark shore no ship has ever seen,
Tormented by the pillows green
Whose murmur comes increasingly
Unto the place for which cry.
For which / cry both day and night
For which let slip all delight,
Whereby grow both deaf and blind.
Careless to win. unskilled to find,
And quick to lose what all men seek.
Yet tottering rs I am and weak,
Still have l left little breath
To seek within the jaws Of death
An entrance to that happy place,
To seek the unforgotten face,
Once seen. once kissed, once reft from me
Anigh the murmuring of the sea-

Confederate Camp Flags.

The Confederate stars and bars were
in, 1868 supplemented by the camp flag.
This was in size and shape like the other,
except that it was white, with no stripes,
and the battle flag in the upper corner
next the staff. It was found deficient in
actual service in that, displaying SO
much white, it was sometimes apt to be
mistaken Cor flag of truce, and on Feb.
"a, 1866, it gave place to the last flag of
the Confederacy, the outer half being a
red vertical bar. Appearing 30 late in
the war, it was not SO familiar as the
others-in fact, it was comparatively
little known.-New Orleans Times

The Derivation of "Gingerly."

To speak of person acting in "gin-
gerly1 fashion would certainly convey a
clear enough idea, and we easily connect
the word in some vague manner with
the word ginger" perhaps from the
association in our minds of the sparing
use made of that condiment. The word,
however, is innocent of any such round
about derivation, and comes directly
from the old word gang" to go-still
preserved in the Scotch phrase, "Gang
that gate"-and thus originally means
with cautious, faltering or "gingerly"
steps.-Chambers' Journal.

There are some perfumes that are very
grateful to horses, however little credit
horse may commonly receive for pos
sessing delicacy of scent. Horse train
ers are aware of the fact and make use
of their knowledge in training stubborn

the composition of which they keep a
