"Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which am acquainted. 1 hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and use Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are

THE PROPER CAPER.

The handsome shade of red worn this season is made odious by being named sang de boeuf.
 Plateau felt hats remain in high favor The two toned' models are very attract i've and becoming.
 Birds and birds wings, breast feathers and heads are in lavish use this season on toques, bonnets and large picture hats.
 Fur trimmings increase in favor for wraps, dresses, hats and bonnets, sable, seal, otter. mink, Persian lamb and beaver, the short haired furs, taking decided prece- dence.
 Elegant coats of black velvet, with um- brella backs and reaching nearly to the knees, are worn with circular skirts of fine broadcloth simply finished with machine stitching in saddlers' silk at the hem.
 For special dress costumes French dress makers are using a new winter fabric called velvet muslin. The pile of this fabric is SC lustrous and fine that at little distance the textile could easily be mistaken for satin.
 Among the newest full sleeved, full skirt ed coats for utility purposes are those made of very dark almost invisible gray cloth oi the color known as winter sky" which has been so popular recently for mems busi- ness suits
 Eiderdown wrappers, bathrobes and breakfast jackets are made in the greatest number this season of deep shade of tan color, as the pale tints were found to soil so easily, although so pretty when fresh, par ticularly in rose color, cream and ciel blue.
 You can tell q sealskin coat that was bought this season from one purchased even late last winter as far as you can see the garment. The former has a much fuller R-- and is bretelled and reVered beyond any thing in the way of Q seal wrap that has ever yet been manufactured or worn.-New York Post.

it was only about O'Clock. When Mar tin and his dog set out on their home ward journey, the former had almost to grope his way out of tho inclosure, and only the instinct of Rover kept him on the right path. The snow was coming down softly, but pitilessly, wrapping everything in q white and rapidly thick ening sheet and fast obliterating every familiar landmark.
 On an ordinary occasion the old shep- herd could have found his way hoIae blindfoldei, so well acquainted was ne with every foot of the road. But his strength had utterly deserted him, and every step he now took was with great and increasing effort. The cold appear ed to grip his heart as with hand of iron and to arrest his laboring breath.
 At last he ec.umbled and fell at the foot of a great bowlder. He could go no farther. Nature had completely given out.
 Then all at once he remembered that if this Growsy slumber which was com ing on did creep over his senses he was certainly done for. An, yes! But he had that in his breast pocket that would give him new life.
 Yes. it was all right. He had not for gotten it. His heavy eyes lighted up with q momentary gleam of pleasure as he drew out flat bottle containing per haps half q gill of raw whisky.
 Nobody could blame him for taking it now. He would do it to save his life only for that. Without some fresh ac- cess of strength and energy he would not be able to move hand or limb. The lethargic condition was gaining upon him, and resistance was scarcely possi- ble unless the fiery spirit should stinu- late his vitality. Come. there was some good in the stuff yet if it saved a mans life!
 Accordingly he drew out the cork of the bottle with his teeth, and the strong odor rose gratefully to his nostrils. He had a right to it this time.
 Suddenly q voice appeared to come out of the darkness and the storm-a voice that made him pause in the very act of drinking:
 What good is his life? It doesn't benefit one living creature-not even himself."
 He trembled with more than cold, and his hand fell from his mouth. Who said that? God or the devil?
 Whoever said it. it was true-fatally, miserably true! A great horror of hlm- self and q loathing of the life he was about to try and preserve. an infinite pity and tenderness for the girl whose young existence h&d been blghted through his shameful fault-an this came to him at that moment. Like an overwhelming wavo swept the accumu- lated misery and disgrace and reIaorsc of years over the soul of the poor drunk ard. Then sudden access of fury seized upon him, and with the last feeble remnant of his strength he threw the bottle away. It rolled down the side of the fell and buried itself fathoms deep in a snowdrift at the foot.
 The sheep were safe, and Martin the shepherd slept.-Gertleman' Magazin,

A MUSICAL REPEaToRY.
Always Have n selection In Readiness |
 rlaN For Friends.


 Why are so few students of music ready, willing and able to play for their friends us opportunity offers? The req sons usually assigned are timidity. insuf- ficient practice and indifference, and, mainly, nothing io play-that is to say, nothing to play which they consider suitable or Flsasing to the ordinary lis tener, CT that the student enjoys well enough to keep in playing condition for a time. A writer for The Erude places the selection of a repertory as q matter of decided importance SO soon as a cer- tain and small amount of rianOistic knowledge is gained. This selection de mands thoughtful care.
 There are many points to De considered in selecting this repertory. All of the pieces must be interesting to the pupil. It must be progressive. IL must em- brace something of all styles and easily within the comprehension of the pupil. and i. must not be hackneyel.
 There is a sad waste of time in the life of many, many pupils. Let us eliminate every technical exercise and every etUde that Is not absolutely necessary, and turn our attention to the quality rather than the quantity of work in hands. Choose each piece with great care. See that it be thoroughly mastered. and when mastered that il is played daily, say three times slowly and once at speed. This will probably keep the piece in playing condition.
 Further work may be undertaken, to be treated in like manner. until at least three pieces are on tine daily review list. If, when a new number is learned, one of the old ones be dropped. constantly changing repertory of three new pieces will be in readiness to play for friends. If the time for practice be limited, this will be all that should be expected.
 There Is nothing new or original in this plan, but if faithfully followed the results will be satisfactory.
 Another help is To require pupils 10 give a short recital before their friends each year. This is an incentive to work. IL arouses ambition. pride, a desire to excel, and secures careful and continu- ous study.
