luxury Of rest is the hammock chair
swing from a tree bough, with "a
broad awning between the fair loung-
er's head and the sunshine which
will filter through lcafy screens The
swing chair has this great advantage
over the hammock that accidents are
less frequent, the posture is less neg
ligent, and getting out and in is less
an adventure, says the Housewife.
For invalids the swing chair combines
the rest OF a couch with any desired
position and soothing motion. 1t
makes one long to swing in the broad
ease of such a rest, under green
honghs, rather than to drive the pen
in an Office chair. If you wish to add
a health-giving pleasure to the lot of
any invalid, plant her out of doors in
the arms of such a tent of rcpose.

that dong hair makes weak chill

Statistics prove that more infants die

Masses for victor Hugo.

A few weeks ago an old negress
came from Bridgetown on tho sland
of Barbados, to a missionary and
asked him to read three masses fol
Victor Hugo. The missionary was
astonished. and at first believed that
he misunderstood the visitor. But
the negress replied to his questions
that years ago she had given aid te
Hugo's daughter, who had married ar
English officer against the will Of her
father, and fed with him to Barbados.
The officer deserted his wife, who con-
%seauently became almost insane, and
was cared for in that condition by the
ncgress. The negress wrote to the
poet of the sad condition of his child.
Hugo sent her 2, 900 francs and had
her go to Paris with his daughter.
After remaining a time in the house
of the author the negrcss decided to
return to Barbados. One reason for
this was the fact that the poor
daughter had become incurably in
sane and been consigned to an
asylum. The poet, who respected
the negress because of the love she
had borne his daughter, said to her
before her departure from Paris:
"When you hear of my death in
your native country have three mas
ses read for me-"
The old woman, who first heard of
. the death Of Victor Hugo q few
months ago. has now fulfilled the
wishes of the poet.

out the plan would be to find cooks
of various capacities, but all good in
their way. Without the provisions
costing more to the householder, the
agency would make money by the
catering, because it would be done on
a large scale. A plain cook might
be provided for ordinary require
ments, and a flrst-rate cook for parade
dinners. A householder would state
the exact number of servants re-
quircd, and would be told what the
wages would he. and what it, would
cost to feed them. He might explain
how large his family is, and an APP
proximatc estimate would be given
of the cost of catering for them.

A ROYAL Benefactor.

In his .:Life and Times of King
William w." Mr.. Percy Fitzgerald
tells the following story Of the good
natured sailor-prince, then Duke OF
Clarence. One morning when the
Prince, having received his commits
sion and his ship, was on his way OF
his tailor's in Plymouth, to get the
new uniform, at q street corner he
saw a boy crying. and stopped to In
Quire the cause. The lad looked UP
through his tears, revealing a hand
some, winning, and intelligent face,
and replied that his mother had died
only a few days before. and that he
had been cast homeless upon tho
street. "Where is your father"
asked the Prince. s.He was lost in
the Sussex, on the Cornwall coast two
years ago"
"How would you like to go to sea
In u t1rst-rate man-of-war:?" The
boys face frightened as he answered
that he should like it very well. The
Prince took out his %pockeJ-book and
wrote something upon a slip of pa
per, which he gave to the boy with a
shilling. .Go down to the docks"
he said, land with this shilling you
will hire a boatman to carry you of
to the Pegasus When you get on
board the ship you will give this pa
per to the officer whom you find in
charge OF the deck, and he will take
care of you. Cheer up. my lad!
Show me that you have a true heart,
and you shall surely find a true
friend" Arrived on board the Pc
gasus, the officer of the deck received
him kindly, and sent him to sit
upon a g~un-carriage under the break
of the poop. In less than an hour
the Prince came of in his new uni
form; and the boy was strangely
moved upon discovering that the man
who had promised to be his friend
was none other than William. Duke
Of Clarence, aud Captain of the frig.
ate. The boy, whose name was AL.
bert Doyer, was taken into the cabin,
where the Prince questionedhim, and
forthwith he ordered him to be rated
as a midshipman, and from his own
purse he procured him an outfit.
During the voyage to the American
coast the Prince became strongly
attached to his youthful protege,
keeping him about his person contin.
ually and instructing him in general
branches Of education, as we'll as HE

boy grew to a man, serving King and
country faithfully. In time William
became King, and signed the com.

put his signature to the document,

I have noticed that every soft,
light color, and equally soft MATER
ials. such as embroidered, spotted and
pointed muslins, thin changcant silks.
crepons, silk gauzes, and last but not
least, the diaphanous fabric called
chaffon, are more than ever employed
for the quaint, pretty dresses that
are the vogue with our clegantcs at
present The trimmings consist
more than ever of lace of every de-
scription, in white, ecru, saffron ami
another curious tint dubbed dentel.e
roussie, or iron-mold color, that looks
very chic with black or dark dresses,
and that is also employed with white
or cream materials with equally good
effect. Ordinary and antique satin,
MORE, and a lightly woven velvet
shot and glacc, are the most gener-
ally approved ornamentation, while
for morning dresses plain serge or al
paca skirts have three rows of undu-
lating braid set just beneath the
hips, and no other trimmings of any
kind breaking the lines of the ample
folds. A neat black alpaca gown seen
recently was trimmed in this way: 1t
