Department., fair; application, fair
Some of the girls and boys have mani
tested commendable interest in their studies
while many others seem to care very little
whether the world moves not, and by ir
regularity of attendance, hardness, ETC.,
manage to shrk their duties. Owing to the
lack Of seats a few children have been refused
admittance but this has been remedied, and
there is now room for several more pupils.
The grade of the school is primary, still
there are number of pupils who have made
sufficient progress to merit promotion and
it is to be hoped that the High School next
fall will afford them an opportunity for pre-

Hon. VIM. Campbell and Mr.. E. G. Voor-

distributing posters and placing tickets for
the bazaar and ball to be given for the benofit
of the high school fund. The entertainment
will be under the auspices of the ladies of
Lafayette, and promises to be most enjoy
able event. Our people should understand
that while most of the responsibility for the
establishment of this high school has fallen
upon the people of the town of Lafayette;
still the youth of Carcncro, and other places
in the parish, will derive just much benefit
as they will, aud we should do all in our
power to aid the good work. The small
price of admission, IS cents, and IS cents
for children, certainly brings it within the
means of all to lend helping hand A
hearty and cordial invitation is extended to
all to attend the entertainment on Saturday

South Africa is now the land of romano

eyes are fixed, for though the Germans
hold part of the coast, and consequently
havea sphere of influence" back OF it, Eng
lishmen complaisantly assume that Ger

is now England's, and thence far to the

is a proposition that almost takes ones

on account of the present hostility Of the

possibilities in case of future troubles.

has not this privilege. Her gowns, her
cap and her apron must be made in the
style which the lady Of the house con-
siders correct. No thought is given to
whether they are be~comingto the wearer
or not. So it often happens that the
nursery maid with the small pinched
face is forced to wear a cap of huge pro-
portions and an abundance of rufles,
while the bland, round faced young
woman carries a cap not larger than a
tumbler dolly on her good sized head.
Fashion does not always cater to the
fitness of things. However, this years
styles in caps and aprons are pretty, and
the variety is large enough to suit the
various maids called upon to wear them.
There is the apron of fine white cambria,
with narrow yoke and shoulder straps,
which the English call the Kensington.
It is thirty-eight inches long and has five
fine tucks. The strings are a quarter of
a yard wide, each finished with narrow
tucks. With this apron is worn a jaunty
little cap, with long strings in the back.
Another apron worn by the fashion
able waitress is made in the same style,
only with much wider tucks. Occa-
~sionally the tucks are outlined with a
colored thread, but the apron strictly
correct this season boasts of no color.
Bands of embroidery are among the IA
vorite modes of trimming. Deep rufies
of embroidery are also fashionable.
1t is possible that the average woman
in looking at the pictures or reading de-
seriptions of house dresses is inclined to
think that they are very elaborate, and
she cannot compass the making of one.
And it is just here she makes her mis-
take. The simplest of all designs, the
princess, may, if it is properly fitted,
have hanging lace sleeves added to it.

shoes are positively wet it is unnecessary
to change them while the feet are at
rest. This is a great fallacy, for when
the least dampness is absorbed into the
sole in it's evaporation it absorbs the
heat from the foot, and thus perspiration
is dangerously checked. This car be
easily proved by trying the experiment
of negleeting the rule. The feet will be

taken as sincere, tells It's clients that the
golden rule in cold weather is to keep
the extremities warm. The first and

of this idea is never to be tightly shod.
Boots or shoes that fit closely prevent
the free circulation of the blood by pres

Colonel Rice has a brilliant military
record. Born in 1842, he enlisted under
the first call in 1861 and was a captain
in the Fourteenth Massachusetts, before
reaching his twentieth year. AS major
of the Nineteenth Massachusetts he won
special mention for conspicuous gallant,
ry at Gettysburg and came out of the
wal a colonel. His subsequent service
in the regular army gave him special
qualifications for his present task. By
shifting his details from n part of the

why Men Remain Bachelors.


1t is said there are 5000, 900 young
men in the United States of marriage
able age who obstinately refuse to pro-
vide themselves with wives. In trying
to account for this condition of affairs
the New York Advertiser says that it is
probably true that our e~xtravagant style
of living, as compared with that of for
mer times, is one Of the effective inlu-
ences. The cost of supporting a wife
and raising a familyis much larger than
it used to be, and this feature of the
matter often gives pause N both sides.
We have come to measure so many other
things by money that matrimony has
not escaped the rule. The young people
are disinclined to start in an humble
way and gradually improve their situa-
ton. They want all that their parents
have without waiting and striving for it.
Many proposals are unquestionably de-
layed or rejected on this account.
Then it is well known that the new
n of employment open to.women
have made them more independent and
probably also more exacting as to the
qualifications of husbands. 1t is not
nearly so common as it once was for
girls to marry simply in order to secure
o home and a living; they are able now
to earn good wages and to take their
time about assuming the duties of wives
and mothers. We may safely believe,
moreover. that the progress of women

I have thought of getting married
When I've seen thee, Mary lane.
With thy dainty silks and satins,
With thy petticoat and train;
But a whisper came across me,
Like a sign with omen rife
"Ah, tits very well to marry,
BuS, oh! canst thou keep a wife?"
If the last new bonnet suits thee,
Canst thou wear it still the same
Though a newer pattern tempt thee
Lately handed down to fame?
Will a dress or two content thee
When stern fashion orders more,
And a solitary headdress do
Instead of half q score?
But they tell me l am raying
To expect S 10 strange a thing,
And they laugh to scorn my musings
And the hopes to which | cling;
So l fear l must resign thee
And q bachelor remain,
Yet / never can forget thee,
