The Evil in Feminine Dress.

The evil in feminine dress of to-day
lies not with our rich women, but with
our women of average means. The
wealthy woman rarely overdreases, the
average woman far more often, and she
stamps herself by that very indiscre
ton. 1t is not the mistress who over
dresses so much as it is her servant who
tries to initiate her. The nice and re-
fined women, the women of taste, are
nct the purchasers of the snowy dress
patterns and misfit hats which we see
in the show windows. Just in proper
ton as woman is refined in her
nature is she quiet in her dress. A re-
fined woman never dresses loudly. The
present tendency in red is not followed
by girls and women of refinement 1t
Is affected by those who forget that red
is the most trying color which a woman
can wear becomingly, and there is nc
color of which one so soon tires. Only
II few women can choose a perfect shade
in red and those are, as rule, not the
women who wear it-Ladies' Home

THOUGHTS ARE PICTURES.

When We Think Aloud We arc Only
Supplying Conversations.
Thought is conducted principally by
means of series of more OF less imper.
feet mental pictures, and MEMORY of the
past entirely so.
We cannot formulate an idea or start
train of thought unassisted by soma,
perhaps faint, pictorial outline of the
subject thereof In thinking out an
invention, mechanical or otherwise, we

ting a future, interview or event, We

mirrored on our brain, and as our train
of thought carries MS on, that scene
shifts like panorama until some other
train of thought, l. e., another picture,
is led up to it, when it DIVORCES and fol.
lows the second panorama until dis
turbed by Others
The fact that some people 'think
aloud may be considered as tending to
disprove the correctness of this asser-
ton, but really it goes far to support it.
Those who think aloud" are simply
supplying conversation to the actors in
the scene which is passing before their
mental vision.
1t is done unconsciously, and does
not to any great extent assist or even
affect the train of thought-in fact,
thought fits too quickly through the
brain to allow much time for words
The researches of philologists support
this, for they trace back the word
''think" to thing" the unsubstantial
thought to the, in this case unsubstan
tial, brain DECENTRALIZATION Herald.

New York Girls All Alike.

A recent visitor from the west, maxi
ing a sojourn in New York, was heard
to remark that while he thought the
women were especially stylish and at
tractive, they made little or no impress
sion on him because he found
them all SO much alike. He had gone
out a good deal in very good

girls, all dressed to perfection, all very
nice, all very well hammered, but all az
much alike as SO many healthy babies.

ing it with the surrounding scene and
our impression of the picture at the
house. when Mr.. Evans returned.

any valuables are buried at this spot?
he said, thoughtfully, after he had
closely inspected thy sketch and looked
about him.
"'I have not the least doubt of itr
/ cried, emphatically. The chest is
buried here, beneath this very rock:
Eva's uncle doubtless selected this spot,
as picture was painted of it, and he
thought it could be the more readily
found by her. The letter that he sent
her concerning this picture, and which
never reached her, would have made
everything clear
II could scarce brook the impatience
of waiting until spades had been pro-
cured from the house and Mr.. Evans
set to work with a hearty will, assisted
by the husband of old Simon's niece.
In short while it became evident that
the bowlder was very large one, deep
ly imbedded in the ground, and GER.
tainly had not been disturbed for a
great period, perchance not since its
Judgement there ages ago.
Though baffied by this fact for a
time, firmly maintained my ground
that somewhere near this SPOT at least,
lay the buried treasure. At this point
Eva suggested that as the key was
found in the frame midway between
the rock and the stump in the picture,
perhaps the chest was buried between
the actual rock and stump. Acting on
this suggestion, the two diggers began
work at place midway between the
two points, while Eva and looked
eagerly on and encouraged them.
ut was slow work, but after awhile
they had excavated quite hole. They
dug down some two or three feet, and
then began to dig out in different direc-
tions. 1t was now past noon and both
the men stopped to rest, and then they
began again with renewed energy. At
last, as our hopes were beginning to
weaken, one of the spades struck the
decayed side of pine box, and after a
little more digging it was unearthed,
and then opened.
"Mr. Evans gave a loud and hearty
cheer as small iron safe, brown with
rust, was exposed to view. The mys-
terry of the picture was at last solved.
''Some four thousand dollars in gold,
and jewels that alone were worth double
that amount. were found in the safe.
1t would be impossible to describe the
Joy of my friends at this fortunate dis
covery, or the gratitude they mani
tested toward me for my part in the
matter. They would not permit me 10
refuse this beautiful ring, which was
among the jewels; and when l married,
year later, among my wedding gifts
was a handsome purse containing three
hundred dollars in gold, which was
given by those two grateful friends in
the south.
