Steel is now being used in the manufacture
OF fence posts. This is an innovation on the
old cedar method, and promises to meet with
extended use. One of the latest devices in this
direction consists of a thin plate of steel made
in conical shape, being smaller at the top than
at the bottom, and encircled with malleabIe
iron barbs. prepared for attaching wire or
other descriptions of fencing. is seven inches
wide and seven feet long, with an open slot ex-
tending the entire length. The top is held in
place by an ornamental cap. The post is de-
signed TO be driven into the ground, thus obyi-
a'ing the necessity of digging holes. For this
purpose driving machine has been designed
which Is so arranged that 1t can be set at any
angle. the post being always in a vertical posi-
ton when driven into the ground. One mau

Delicious" said the girl-and it was deli
cious. Not the least part of the pleasure was
the fact that the young man had brains enough
to order the little supper without insisting
upon her help. If she didn't feel quite as we'll
as usual the next day that was her fault, not
his.
She told him what comfort it was to have
an escort who understood these things. and he
WAS immensely pleased, but made the usual re-
mark:
Il should think any fellow would know
enough for that
'They don't" said the girl, confidentially
and under the stimulating influence OF the NAL
lard duck she went on:
''Nine-tenths of the men who take a woman
out to supper after the theater expect her to
do all the thinking. I'm used to it that
don't mind. but tonight l felt rs il did want q

Don't pride yourself upon a ring
fragment Of SdDpho.
So you are wedded!--Well and good!-
To you may Hymen blessings bring!
But be not of too trustful mood
Don't pride yourself upon ring.
All, there are some who loved you more
Than does the one to whom you cling!
But he now yours, and their dream Ger,
Don't pride yourself upon ring.
The morn that smiles serenely bright,
No cloud above dark shade to fling,
Full oft forums stormy night
Don't pr.ds yourself upon ring.
Albeit he has loved you long,
Who of your heart Is now the king,
Your vowed defense, your shield from wrong,
Don't pride yourself upon a ring.
Though life to you seems fairyland,
Where flowers are gay, and bliihe birds sing,
And lovely scenes around expand,
Don't pride yourself upon ring.
Though warning words may vex your ear,
And End within no eehoing,
While in the future naught you fear,
Don't pride yourself upon ring.
The glittering shows Of hope deceive,
And roses have sharp tnorns that sting,
And men are false, and wives must grieve-
Don't pride yourself upon 4 ring.
The wealth your bridegroom shares with you
Uncertain is, for wealth takes wing,
And where grew heart's-ease once, grows rue

But what may be, All. who may knOw?-

Grease Spots in Carpets.

In the weaving Of pile fabrics little oil is

silver spoons, ornaments, miniatures and odd
and curious things in brass and bronze. A
lesk in one corner of her drawing room is en-
tirely covered with repousse brass designs, and
is. perhaps, the only one of Its kind in this
city. Sometimes it is opened and the old treas
