WORDS OF WISDOM.
Fesr is The child of wrong doing.

Fear is the child of wrong doing.
A starving man won't find fault with
the table cloth.
You cannot buy man honest if it is
against his nature.
A successful hypocrite is never sue
cess at anything else.
The villain likes to be called by names
that sornd respectable.
AS soon as sin begins to pay it seems
to become better looking.
Some men tire themselves almost to
death looking for an easy place.
Some women seem to think that hav-
ing grievance adds to their attractive
ness.
Don't look for much growth in grace
long as you keep your hands in your
pockets.
There are reformers who never think
1t worth while to work at their trade on
themselves.
If we had no troubles but real troubles
there wouldn't be round shouldered
man in this world.
1t takes strong man to holo his own
thoughts so much in subsection that they
will not worry him.
We are born to be sociable to one
another; therefore either reform the
world, or bear with it.
True culture has been compactly de-
fined as learning ones relative position
and importance in the world.
The world would have less cranks If
children were taught the difference be-
tween sentiment and principle.
All censure of others is oblique praise
of self. It is uttered in order to show
the superiority of the speaker. It has all
invidiousness of self praise, and all the
ill desert of falsehood.
Never forget what man has said to
you when he was angry. II he has
charged you with anything, you had
better look it up. Anger is bow that
will shoot sometimes where another feel
ing will not.
The talent Of turning men into ridi-
cule and exposing to laughter those one
converses with is the qualification OF lit
tie minds and ungenerous tempers. A
young man with this cast of mind cuts
himself off from all manner of improve
ment.

What They Eat.

The ways of royalties are so Interests
Ing to outside barbarians that it thrills
us to hear on good authority that the
Czar of all the Russias eats five meals
day, and that Englands Queen, at No
matter how big banquet. dimes mod-
estly on mutton or beef and wines or
beer. His Holiness Pope Leo XIII is
the most abstemious OF all the mon
archs. Sweden's S Queen loves above all
things the meat pies that are served in
Nice; next to that dainty She prefers
the national dish Of salmon. The Ger
man Emperor is fastidious about food.
His special weakness is for ham and
eggs cooked in the English fashion.
The Empress OF Austria gives her whole
mind to culinary improvements. ShS.
has invented an apparatus for roasting
100 fowls at once. She is not particular
about her own eating, but likes to pro-
vide for others. The much-reviled Sui
tan of Turkey lives frygally on rice and
mutton, and drinks only water. Bis
marck is q tremendous eater. Almost
fasting through the day he reserves his
forces for stupendous dinner at 7,
when he eats like pig and drinks like
a fish. President Carnot sets as good
table as the country can supply, and,
as Indigestion is unknown to him, he
eats like an artistic eDieure. King
Humbert is very small eater. but it is
whispered sub rosa that the beautiful
Margherita enjoys her dinners as much
as the nursery queen enjoyed her bread
and honey. Every day OF the year her
majesty has dish Of strawberries
served to her. The King of the Bel
gians eats too much. The King of
Greece prefers his viands cooked in the
Danish fashion. His wife, Queen Olga,
insists on Russian cooking. Little ALI
phonso OF Spain, under the care of
wise mother and profound doctor,
lives as wholesomely as might noun
hineer's son.

A Hundred Years Ago.

The bride and bridegroom of GEN.
tury ago were dressed IN slightly diff
ferent fashion to that of the present
time.
To begin with the lady. Her locks
were trained upward over an immense
cushion, that sat like an incubus on her
head, and plastered over with pomatum
and then sprinkled over with shower
of white powder. The height of this
tower was somewhat over foot. One
single white rosebud lay on its top like
an eagle on a haystack. Over her neck
and bosom was folded lace handkerchief,
fastened in front by bosom pin con-
tanning her grandfather's miniature set
in virgin gold. Her airy form was
braced up in satin dress, the sleeves as
tight as the natural skin of the arm, with
a waist formed by bodice, worn out
side, from whence the skirt flowed of,
and was distended at the top by an
ample hoop. Shoes of white'kid with
peaked toes, and heels with two or three
inches elevation, inclosed her feet, and
glittered with spang.es as her little pedal
members peeped curiously out.
Now for the swain. His hair was
sleeKed back and plentifully 'bedoured,
while his queue projected like the
handles of skillet. His coat was a
ky.blue, lined with yellow; his long
vest of white satin, embroidered with
gold lace; his breeches of the same ma
terial tied at the knees with ribbons.
White silk stockings and pumps, with
laces and ties of the same hue. Lace
ruffies clustered around his wrist, and a
portentous frill, worked in correspond
ence and bearing the miniature Of his be-
loved, finished his genteel appearance. -

The Biggest of Hailstones.

A Gay Hill (Texas) letter to the Gal
weston News, describing recent hail
storm at that place, says:
a few minutes after the rain COM
menced small hailstones fell, and each
moment larger ones fell than the preced-
ing, until they reached the size of small
hen eggs. After falling for about fifteen
minutes the hail and rain ceased for
probably two minutes. Then it COM
menced again to rain heavily and con-
tinued probably ten minutes, with a
higher wind, and it was during this in
terval that the wonderfully large hail
stones fell.
This remarkable hail fell in large
Jumps, ranging from three to six inches
in diameter. I heard of one piece,
eight inches in diameter, which weighed
four pounds. They were, as rule,
spherical in form, but some were some
what fat, and nearly ali were covered
with oval knobs. They fell in small
areas about two feet apart, while in
other places, only one would fall in a
space twenty feet square. The average
under my observation was about one
hailstone to every three feet square.
The earth was thoroughly saturated
with water, and some of the large pieces
penetrated the ground in soft places
about three inches.
I gathered about bushel of the
largest pieces after the rain ceased, and
in very little while placed them in a
sack, which put IN box and packed
hay around without special care. Some
of the pieces l exhibited in Brenham,
for the reason that I preferred to give
ocular demonstration in proof of the
statement made in relation to the size
of the hail. After forty-two hours sew
eral of the pieces were seven inches in
circumference. At this date eleven
days after it fell) about "a quart of the
hail remains. Its density is so great
that I believe it will keep should you
wish sample. A most remarkable fact
in connection with these large hailstones
is that some of them have particles of
dirt in the centre. The question is,
how did they get there2

Cross Currents.

Gross Currents" by Mary Angela
Dickens, tells US of the vfclssitudes
Of a young and beautiful actress in
her upward career. She is welded
to her art, but finds formidable
rival in young cousin whose love she
returns. Her struggle TO relinquish
her art and settle down to quiet do
mesticity proves Intellectual and she
abandons herself TO a professional
future. Through the help of her
fathers oldest friend--a successful
actor and manager-she is brought
3efore the public both as talented
actress and society belle. Flattery.
adulation ana popularity gradually
produce the inevitable result. The
woman and artist deterlorates into
nothing less than a fashionable. self
conscience beauty. She is brought to
a realizing sense of her position by
chance remark and thenceforth liy0s
Tor the perfection OF her genius.

that SO many fashions are set by actressesf
The one question almost answers the other.
In every case the secret of their attaining
their reputation lies in their skill, shared by
almost all women on the stage, of adapting
fashions to their personality. The mere
woman slaps on whatever happens to be
the rage" and she does SO whether the
particular rage makes fright of her
or not The actress will not touch a fash
ion if it is distinctly and irrevocably unbe-
coming to her; nor will she touch any fash
ion without modifying it to suit her own
needs The other woman confines herself
to the fashion of the hour; the actress
searches the modes of all times and adapts
Passaic City record., 1893-01-07

to herself what she decides suits her. Or
she makes brand new departure for her
self. Thus it is she sets fashions. The mere
woman rushes into Directoire and Empire
and Louis XVI. because Mile Cest Sa or
Miss So and So did in the last play, and pro-
badly she looks more like a fright than ever
thereby. The actress adopts, adapts or
brings back fashion because she herself
looks well in it, but another women plunges
into fashion because some one else has.
The two pictures given herewith are both
actresses and show their cleverness in adapt
ing their attire SO as to set off their looks to

fine brows and the long, dark eyes, The ar
rangement of her hair is distinctly conven-
tional, with the low, soft curls about the
forehead that have SO long been worn, and
which she, like a wise woman, will wear
much longer, because they SO well empha-
size the eyes and brows. Note the showing
Of hair or comb at the back. just high
enough to suggest length to rather square
face not high enough to emphasize the
squareness by taper effect from the fore
head. She has not very full figures The
bodice is only slightly low, and the lfilmy
quality of the tulle used gives softness OF
outlines. Notice,-toe, that the catching up
of the sleeve puff is done toward the front,
so covering the possibly less rounded part of
the shoulder. The whole thing, dress and.
coiffure, are apparently conventional,
as you see, carefully thought out and adap
ed
A face that permits striking style Of hair
and gown is given in the picture. Indeed,
put this girl into conventional dress and
though she might not miss being pretty she
woald miss being the lovely personality
this fashion from the Greeks makes of her.
The outline of her profile is by no means
imperatively classic She has adopted this
style, not because she had to, but be-
cause she knew that woman
who can wear an exacting fashion gets the
more credit for beauty because SO few
women can do.it, But she has adapted it
all. The hair about her face is cut short,
the soft locks are combed loosely back.
Thus she avoids the hard and trying effect
Of closely drawn hair. The knot at the
back is carefully adjusted with reference to
her chin. which is the least bit prominent.
Even her pose is made with this. fault of
her face in mind, From the full, round
throat one would expect the shoulders barred,
but this is an actress The maidenly charm
and the suggestion of Grecian days would
be hurt by modern display Of shoulders.
Oh, if the mere woman would only make
up her mind what she dresses fori In other
words if she would only learn of actresses.
