ment on Decoration Day. 1t was a
human buttercup-a little girl not
more than five years old attired from
top to toe in the golden hues of the
buttercup. Her little frock of silken
texture glistened in the sunlight like
a real dew laden buttercup. He1
tiny shoes were golden in color, and
on the sprite's curly head was a
jauuty little hat of yellow covered all
over with buttercups. A sweet and
roguish face peeped from beneath the
hat, and the restless activity and
continuous prattle Of the ,hild gave
some Of the occupants Of The stand

cheesecoth in light blue. It was short
wasted and the sash had big rosette in
the middle of the back almost between the
shoulders. She had the sort of figure
one refers to as fiat. But what Of that? This
is the sort of figure an undeveloped girl has,
and behold the little woman looked about
13 or II. Since she was not that at all, but
a very smart little woman who had really
never had her fair chance in the late
fashions, she sailed in and wiped out the
other little women completely. She tripped
about, held up her little gown and did baby
talk. She took up the paper knife and said
to the old fellow. who was already her
slave. "Iou let me alone or I'll take this
dagger and dag you." and it made the
biggest hit of the whole evening.
The ulster has held its own for many
years, and fancy it will forever Of course
each year sees notifications, but any heavy
outer garment, coming to the heels and MT
ted to the figure is an ulster. OF late 1t mas

all the more stylish. Take the rear view OF

triple cape, of course. has the longest well
to the waist, the next to the shoulders, and
the third mere collar. Each cape is edged
with fur, and there is a high standing collar
edged with fur, too. And the .sleeves-you
can't see them. but you know there is fut

TIE vigilance of the national
government in deciding to send three
physicians Of the United States
Marine Hospital service to Europe,
for the purpose of devlsing precau-
tionary measures against cholera
merits the cordial commentator OF
all Americans. It would be mis-
take to suppose that the danger IS
past. The experience OF former
plaques shows that next spring and
summer are the seasons when the
likelihood of a cholera epidemic Is
greatest. If it gets here 1t will, un-
doubtedly, come through immigra-
tion. The government physicians
will travel incognito, and will ex-
ercise careful supervision over all
ports of departure for immigrants
They will examine the sanitary con-
ditions surrounding them at the time
of their embarkation, and will super
wise the disinfection Of persons, YES
sells, baggage, and cargoes destined
for this country. United States
Consuls will be instructed to CO.
operate with them, and their COM
bined efforts cannot fail to reduce
greatly the probability Of cholera
reaching US, even if Congress takes
no more stringent measures to ex-
clude it.

A cARPING spirit rarely goes with a
working spirit. 1t is easier to find
fault with what some one else does
than it is to do something ones self;
hence q man who enjoys doing the
easier thing Is disinclined to do the
harder one. AS rule, men are
divided into the two classes Of those
who growl and those who work, and
each class is alike devoted to his own
mission. But when it comes to the
relative worth in the community OF
the two classes, everybody can see the
difference.

spreading abroad her wings, taketh them,
heareth them on her wings, so the Lord
Alone did lead"
The old eagle first shoves the young one
out of the nest in order to make it fly, and
then takes IL on her back and flies with it
and shakes it Off In the air. and il 1t seems
ike falling quickly flies under it and takes
it on her wing again. So God does with us.
