A Friendly Sound.

For years" said q steady-go / man,
Il had never been away from homo over
night, and then things happened that
made 1t necessary for me to travel a
great deal. At first l found it very diff
ficnlt to get to sleep nights. l stopped
at good hotels, aud almost always had
good rooms and good beds, but there
seemed TO be something the matter, |
couldn't tell what. and l found it hard
to got sleep.
Il mentioned this fact to a friend, who
said: Get a clock I always have a
clock in my room at home, and I am ac-
customed to the sound OF its ticking. II
Is curious how silent and strange a room
may seem without it. That was what
wanted, a clock, and l bought one. Now
when get TO my in a hotel usual
ly the first thing / do is to put my
clock on the shelf. 1t ticks away,
b%ravely, a friendly and familiar sound,
and l go to sleep without any trouble. .

In q Convent school,

All the vanitics Of this wicked
world are discouraged, and all temp
tations leading thereto are removed as
far as possible, writes Miss Ethel
ingalls, in an excellent article on
Life in a Convent School," in the
Ladies' Home Journal. That all-con-
Stunning desire of the feminine heart
for dress is allayed by d uniform Of
black, made into the simplest OF
frocks, the sombreness Of which may
be relieved by a bit Of bright ribbon.
Any display OF jewelry is prohibited;
the only ornaments allowed are
brooches and watches. Mirrors are
of the minutest dimensions. A girls
mirror, indeed, is usually her neigh
Dor, Of whom she inquiries the hang
Of gown or the becomingness Of hair
arrangement: for it is quite impossi-
bic to gain a correct idea of appear
ance in a six-inch looking-glass. After
some months seclusion in a convent
the first time one beholds herself in a
%full-length mirror, the experience has,
at least, the delight Of novelty.
Powders and cosmetics are also for
hidden, and are sure to be conflscated
if found.

A Corset for the Foot,

The latest atrocity in the interests OF
beauty is a corset for the foot, and it is
no longer logical to deride the Chinese
for tight bandaaes, iron bands, and
other devices designed TO keep the feet
abnormally small. The new instrument
of torture is made 80 as to enable a size
smaller shoe to be worn than would be
otherwise possible, and it consists of a
strong though thin band or web, which
is fixed around the instep while the
foot is off the ground, and hence not
spread out with the weight Of the body.
When in place it is comparatively easy
to pus on a shoe which is altogether too
small. aud the pressure being on the
corset instead Of the shoe, the latter
does not spread or stretch out. As an
aid to beauty tho new device Is doubt
less n success, and as an instrument OF
torture it is absolutely beyond criticism,
even the slight relief from the stretch
ing OF the leather OF the shoe being
denied the unfortunate victim.

The doctors at the City Hospital in
Baltimore have under treatment a pa
tient who bears as close a resemblance
TO a balloon as u human being can. The
man Is suffering from emphysema, or
air-swelling. He was employed as a
driver by an express company. and
while at work recently was caught be-
tween moving cars, his body crushed
and several ribs broaen. The sharp
ends OF the bones were driven into his
lungs. and he was sent to the City
Hospital. Soon after his arrival he be-
gar to swell up. and has been con-
stantly increasing in size. The cause
the swelling ia the escape Of air from
the punctured lungs, which is pumped
from the lungs to the tissues beneath
the skin ut every breath. Nothing can
be done for him except to tap him, and
the doctors think that he will die soon
even IL the skin does not burst. He is
helpless and incapable OF motion. The
cushion OF ar beneath the skin makes
his body like an air pillow.

A Lady of the White House.

Dollie Madison was the second OF
six children In a family of Friends,
and was named for her aunt, Mrs.
Patrick Henry. When she started
out for the village school where most
OF her education was received, her
mother always sewed her sunbonnet
under her pretty chin and covered her
face with a linen mask to protect the
delicate complexion. At 10 she was
tall, slender, graceful, with a dazzling
complexion and sweet blue eyes. She
refused Mr.. John Todd. a wealthy
young lawyer, and said that she never
intended to marry: but by the re-
quest of her father. reconsidered and
accepted the young man. After three
happy years Mr.. Todd died, and a
few years later James Madison, who
was considered an incorrigible bach
clor, became her husband and she
went to grace the White House.

A young woman, who is altogether
independent. but who has the very
small income Of $500 u year, sud
denly resolved last fall to 60 abroad
for the first time. She engaged a
a second class passage on a fast
steamer and paid s35 besides SIS to
the steward, for a large room and q
most excellent fare. Her compan-
ions on her vessel were few aud very
agreeable people, gentle folks like
herself. She went directly to Tor
quay, where she fond board for S. u
week, and where she spent the win
ter going up to London toward
spring and making q fortnight's trip
to Paris with a little French woman.
The latter excursion cost her exactly
$2a She arrived home in the mid

income, delighted with her eight
months in Europe, and determined
TO do the whole thing over again.
