SPRING BONNETS AND HATS.

Styles in Headgear That Will BE in Vogue
During the Season.
New bonnets for spring are extreme
ly small capotes with long ears that
point down each side of the Greek
knotted hair. Toques are imported
again, and are round rather than
long, with futed edges like a flower
lying fatty on the soft hair. Many
crownless little bonnets are also shown
with pointed front on a coronet brim.
Iheater bonnets are scarcely more than
head-dresses, and as they are without
strings. will find favor with the young
est women.
Round hats are of medium size. and
increase thence to very large shapes
All crowns are low. The undulating
brims found so becoming are retained.
other brims are much longer at the
back than any yet used, and something
like an old-fashioned cape is at
h back of a nondescript affair
that may be called a hat or a
bonnet as one chooses. A four
cornered hat with the brim caught up
by four choux of flowers or of velvet is
one OF medium size, in favor with the
best m%illiners. Revolutionary and
colonial shapes are suggested by sever
al hats. A novelty is the Napoleon hat
with the front of the brim turned up in
a high curve close against the crown.
Toques are called bonnets when sup
piled with strings to be tied under the
chin in a bow without ends, but are
hats when they have no strings. EN-
pire bonnets with large faring front
are shown. The 1880 poke is imported
also, but as it makes any woman look
ten years older than she really is, the

THE GREAT NAPOLEON,
Ills Remarkable Goodness In Times Of
Great Danger.

Ills Remarkable Goodness in Times Of
Great Danger.
Maj. Gen. Yakovitch. of the Russian
army, is one of the few men now
living who saw the great Napoleon
on a battle field. The old soldier
saw the French cmpero, at Boro-
dino. At that battle. Yakovitch,
then a mere boy, served with a battery
in the grand redoubt, which was the
center of the Russian line. lie gives a
graphic description of the battle.
When morning broke a sea of gray
mist shut cut the field from view. The
voices of the enemy were heard. the
neighing of their horses, and the rum
bling of artillery wheels. Then came
the thunder of cannon, making the
very earth tremble. Three times all
the Russian gunncrs were killed, and
three times new men took their places.
Bullets few thick as hail, and men
dropped dead or wounded every mo-
ment.
At last a strange sound was heard in
the distance, like rain pattering on
withered leaves. It grew louder and
louder, until it filled the air like
the roar Of a stormy sea. All
at once a great wave of bright

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way To cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed conditions Of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is nfiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but al infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case. of Deafness Caused by catarrhl that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

he takes out of the remainder of the
straw and fits them in through Sits;
and on n of them he hangs his
wheel. He then makes a slit in the
base of his triangle, and in the first
cross-bar, and slips in his blow-pipe;
and then, proceeding to blow, he 'mer-
rily drives the wheel"
1t will be remarked that from begin
ming to end he does all his work with
the straw; he uses neither pin, nor card,
nor thread, nor glue. His only tool is a
sharp penknife, and he completes his
task and gets the wheel on the spin
within a quarter of an hour.

ing his thumb ON the bruise he could
hardly see.
Not much, said Tom, reluctantly.
But Uncle Alec was quite decided.
Wen bandage it for a week" he
said, cheerfully, and then you will be
quite well again.
"A week." Toms heart sank nearly
to his shoes.
Can | go out?" he asked, with q
lrsnp in his throat
Not TO play" replied Uncle Alec;
you may drive out with mamma. but
you must be quiet
Tom thought of the brook where he
and Ned were going to look for min
nows tomorrow after school, and of the
new swing papa had made in the barn.
and he wanted to scream out, I'm not
lame. not one bit, and I'll go to church
every day, if you don't put bandage
on, but he was not brave enough yet
to own that he had done wrong, and
the words died on his lips.
Jane brought the pasteboard. and
the cotton. and the long white bandage,
and Uncle Alec drew it on smooth and
tight just leaving it so he could bend
the knee a little and then over it all
he put wet starch like that

foot was put on a chair and Ellen
brought him his dinner on tray. That
was fun. He liked all the little dishes
and the little after dinner coffee-cup

The next day the bandage was very
stiff. He walked slowly around in the
garden and drove to market with mann.

the girls We're away, for he was grow
ing very much ashamed Of himself
Tuesday he cried three times and was
very cross. Mammals heart ached for
him, and she begged papa to take off
his bandage But papa only said;
'Wait little"
Wednesday morning the poor little
leg was very uncomfortable, but Tons
conscience troubled him more than the
knee. After prayers he called papa
oack and ali the rest went out Of the
room. Then he threw himself in his
fathers arms and sobbed it all ont:
'tOh, papa, I'm so sorry; dreadfully
sorry; and I'll never do it again, and
I'll go to church free times every Sun
day till die-I truly will"
Papa laughed with tears in his eyes
and then mamma came in, and in a
few minutes they cut of the hateful
bandage, and Tom was free again.
That night as mamma was sitting by
his bed, the little boy said very softly:

FOR LITTLE PEOPLE

I'D never be a coward no.
I'd never iurn and run;
I'd stand right up before the fos
And saoot them with my gun
Then Sammy got wooden sword,
A crimson belt he wore;
A banner. too. of red and blue
Above he bravely bore.
And when he got outside the gate
Some turkeys there he met:
"Tll scatter them, (" brave Sammy said;
I'm make them fly, I'll betl"
The goblers saw the crimson holt,
And then prepared to fight;
AMI on the boy, with tapping wings,
They stralghtway did alight.
The turkeys screamed: Ca Doodle bool
Ka wee ka wee ka ween
And with flap the paper cap
Was split in two or three.
"oh. helpi oh myi" the soldier cried:
"Oh, helpl oh. my Boo hoo,
Come help me outl Oh, mamma. comet
don't know what to do"
His mother came, and with a broom
She put the birds to flight:
But al, alas the soldier boy
Was in sorry plight
Then with a quaver Sammy said:

They took me by surprise"
