Music In The Home.-I want to
call the attention of mothers to the
importance of music in the home.
Busy mothers are too apt to "hush"
their children when they sing or
whistle. 1t is just as natural for some
children to sing as it is for the birds,
and it seems to me almost wicked to
hush their little voices. To be sure,
one does get tired of hearing street
songs all the time, such as "Annie
Rooney" -boom-de-ay," etc.,
but we should have patience and teach
the little ones other songs, with pretty
airs and easy words then they will
soon stop the street music.
know of a mother who has kept
her children in the kindergarten until
they were nine years old merely to
have them learn the attractive songs
which are taught there. These chill
dren 20 to O primary school in the
afternoon. This mother will not en-
gage nursemaid who cannot sing and
read ; yet she says her children are
not naturally musical, and one of
them cannot sing a note correctly, but
she allows him to think that he can,
because he truly loves music, and some
day he may learn. They have no
piano in tho house, because they can
not afford one, and cannot spare the
funds necessary to employ music
teacher. Neither father nor mother
can play on any musical instrument;
yet should you listen some rainy day
at the nusery door, you would say,
"Oh! what a musical family; how we'll
those little children sing" Yes, they
sing from their hearts, because they
are happy, and because they have
never been "hushed up" When they
attempted a new song they were en-
couraged, and so was kept bright and
pleasant by music. If the baby falls,
they do not allow 1t to cry, but pick it
up and sing to it. When the tired lit
tie feet come pattering in, after q long
days run, mamma or nurse wash the
little face and hands, and they all sit
down and sing sweet songs together,
while waiting for their supper.
When these children are men and
women, how pleasant it will be for
them to remember their nursery songs.
Rich and poor should have music in
their homes; it is great safeguard
against much that is evil. We do not
need to be skilled musicians in order
to make children happy.

A Suggestion For A Poet.-Martin
F. Tupper was at one time immensely
popular. both in England and Amer
ca. Grace Greenwood says of his
poetry that il was of "brief though
furious fashion," and she goes on to
illustrate his British inability to take
an American joke by a story of his
mystification by Senator Tom Cor
win.
One evening the two sat together at
q public dinner, and Mr.. COrwin pro-
ceeded to discourse on the divine art
of poetry in manner delightfully."- ab.
surd, but rather puzzling to poet.
"Why Mr.. Tupper," he asked, "do
you poets always make the heart the
seat of love? Now I should locate
that passion in quite another organ--
the liver"
"Why, bless your soul, Mr.. Corwin,
you're not speaking seriously !!
Perfectly, my dear sir! For en-
ample, when ayoung man'sin love, his
heart is seldom affected, but his liver
always is. He loses his appetite. If
there are obstacles, he peaks and pines.
You surely have observed il! Now,
| you poets OuSnt 10 leI Ine heaIt aiohe
and deal with the liver. l would even
have changes made in tie old poems
in accordance with physiological
TRUTH"
"But, my dear sir, what about the
rhyme and the rythm.
"Oh. those little things could be ar
ranged. For instance, take the first
two lines of Byron's Maid of Athens:
maid of Athens, ere we part.
Give, Oh! give me back my heart"
"Now, how simple the change and
how satisfactory:
"Maid of Athens, ere we sever,
Give, Oh! give me back my liver"

The Perfect Female Form.

Nothing is more truly artistic than
the smply-outlined oval of the per.
feet female form, writes May Root
Kern in an illustrated article on "The
artistic Side of Dress Reform" in the
July Ladies' Home Journal. 1t is but
slightly depressed at the waist, the
hips are as wide as the shoulders,
there IL not an angle from top to toe.
1t is as different from the outline of
the fashionable 'wellset-up" woman
with her squared shoulders and angu-
lar hips, as horse is from a camel.
We call the high belted Empire dress
artistic, because they perserve the
oval better than the long wasted
shapes. The nude figure has no belt
line. When the weight rests equally
upon the feet, and the body is held
upright, the smallest measurement of
the waist Is about where the modern
belt is placed. But let the body bend
to one side, and the point of intersec-
ton of the hip and side muscles will
be over an inch above the former belt
line. This is why field laborers, even
to the slenderest young girl, are
"short wasted" For hygienic rea-
sons the belt should never be placed
below this point, and by thus shorten
ing the straight under arm seam by
an inch the beauty of the uncorseted
waist Is materially aided.

PROTECTED TREE. WOVEN Z GUARD.
fully one-third of the trees had been
gnawed, four of them being completely
girdled. The tracks showed plainly
that the mischief had been done by
rabbits My neighbor brought his
dogs. and we hunted the entire locality
over, but could find only two rabbits.
in the stomach of which we found tree
bark. We followed their back tracks
and found that they had come from a
swampy tract, six miles distant.
immediately bound up the wounds
on the trees with strips of cloth, and,
as soon as the ground thawed a little,
| took foCr-inch drain tiles, broke them
open l~enSthwisc, and, removing the
cloth, inclosed each of the trees with
one OF them, binding them together
with small vire. These tiles were
then filled with fine soil, and kept full
until the first of October, when they
were opened and the trees examined.
In every instance, the wounds were
entirely healed, the bark having grown
over them, and the trees were in a
healthy, thrifty condition In a few
cases roots had started ont from the
edges of the healing wounds, but the
autumn drought had stopped their
growth. During the last three years,
! have tiled quite a large number of in
jurcd trees for neighbors and friends,
and in every instance they have healed
completely.
1t is advisable, however, to adopt eff
fective measures for preventing injury
to trees by rabbits and mice, and thus
save much labor ard anxiety. 1t can
be done easily, as follows: Take COM
mon plastering laths and cut them in
halves; then with fine wire, wcave Eve
to eight of the pieces together, at the
top and bottom, as shown in Fig. l.,
the same as wire and lath fence is
woven, and set them around the trees,
as seen in Fig. ,, giving the ends of
the wire n twist abou. each other, to
hold them firmly in position. This
makes 4 very effective and cheap guard,
eighteen inches high, and II that will
last four or five years. If the laths are
dipped in crude petroleum, they will
last ten years, ard prevent pigs and
sheep, as well as rabbits and mice,
from injuring the trces.-G. Frederick,

LAST OF THE LOBBY QUEENS.
A Story of the Times When woman's
Smiles Guided Legislation.

A Story OF the Times When woman's
Smiles Guided Legislation.
When the democrats captured the
senate in 1879, for two years Col. Dick
Bright was made scrgeant-at-arms,
and his first general order was directed
against the sovereign supremacy of
that gorgeous corridor autocrat, the
lobby queen.
During republican rule she had
grown into offensive consequence as a
promoter Of legislation. She passed
the door keepers, owned the pages,
crooked her finger at obsequious n
tors and generally ruled the roOst. She
was powerful numerous, too, and the
colonel declared a boycott Her occu-
patton was soon crippled, business
grew dull and hunger set in.
1t was only a few months after his
warfare when the colonel heard the dy-
ing scream of the lobby swan. lie tells
the story on himself. As he was pass
ing out of the senate restaurant one
day he was accOsted by n of the
swans. She was. like all her sisters in
those days of bitter persecution,
dressed in the remnants of gentility,
and otherwise n trifle loud.
Colonel" said she, Il believe you
are an officer of the senate? Now, |
want to ask you a plain question. The
fact is, I'm literally hungry and | want
some money to get something to eat"
The foe had been reduced to the last
ditch of appetite. II melted his heart.
He graciously led her to a seat at the
table, directed the bill of fare placed at
her service and passed Dat with a re-
spectful salute to the vanquished
enemy. She ate with consuming relish
and no unprecedented observer could
have doubted she was hungry.
lust as she vas leaving the colonel
dropped in again hastily to light a
cigar. when the last of the lobby queens,
flushed with champagne and aromatic
with terrapin, rose majestically and
fired a parting shot across the colonel's
bow. Summoning him with a wave of
her once potent hand, she said:
Colonel, you are an officer here and
of course have a good deal of influence
these senators. Now, | have a
Dill DtIOTt lHt StLdit WHICH, CDlldIHs
all | have or hope for in this world,
and l want you to help me to have it
passed." and she cast upon him a fair
smile.
''Nhy, my dear madam" said the OBJ
durate Bright, you must surely see
the improperly of my mixing at all in
of any kind. I could not
think of advocating any measure, pub
lie or private"
At these chilling words the crushed
queen looked the colonel saucily in the
lace and said:
"Tll bet if l was ten years younger
I'd have that bill through in week"
Perhaps so, bu: the queen is dead.

The Eur-TrImmcd Cont.

The fur coat, the coat lined and
trimmed with fur, or the coat simply
decorated with fur, each has its special
use. and each is chosen according to
the style of the wearer and the climate
in which it will be worn The fancy
for golden brown has made Russian
and Hudson bay sable of even greater
value than ever. The latter will be the
fur most worn, as the real sable is
worth very much more than its weight
in gold, and consequently belongs to
the few and not to the many. Mink,
that very effective brown fur, is also
liked, and some fine harmonies in brown
standings are achieved by the joining
together of the mink tails to form col
lars, muffs, cuffs or falkland decora-
tions.-Ladies' Home journal.

One of the most noticeable changes
in fashion this season is that which eff
fects the dressing of the hair. The
fringe has been gradually giving
place to softly waved bandeaux. and
the bandeaux are creeping gradually
lowder down, until the return seems
imminent TO the puffed and waved BAN
Geaux to be seen in the portraits of
Jenny Lind taken along in the fifties.
To young and delicate faces the style
has an agreeable piquancy and quaint
ness, hut to women past their first
youth or with strong, coarse features
the bang has a softenIng effect much
to be desired. Another style now
gaining favor. and one becoming to
round faces with low foreheads. is hat
of turning the hair back from the fore
head loosely in a twist that it is lost in
the light coils and puffs arranged in
the middle Of the forehead. In this
style off couture the front hair is part
ed of on either side and twisted in the
old-fashioned way into two rolls.-N.
