Good Taste In Dress.

Oar sisters across the sea have been
struggling with the grave problem of
taste in dress A Miss Dunlap, who
seems to bs wiss person, offers the fol.
lowing advice:
Don't adopt the latest mode.
Don't trail your dress upon the road.
: Don't ever lace your waist too tightly.
Don't wear boot or glove unsightly.
Don't wear thing that needs repair.
Don't. please, forget to brush your hair;
Don't over wear too large check,
Don't show too much Of snowy neck.
Another student says: ;.
Don't be slave to fashion, but rather
m AXE fashion your handmade.
Don't follow fashion blindly to any Of
it's extremes; she has way Of laughing
in her sleeve at fools Of her own creating.
Don't think because your neighbours
bonnet is becoming to her, it will neces-
sarily be becoming to yourself.
Don't go in for quantity as much as
quality in dress. One well-made gown is
worth half 9 dozen i'll fitting ones.
Don't forget that the dreas OF sweet
seventeen is no longer becoming to the
women Of forty.
D1n't neglect the accessories Of dress;
untidy gloves, unshapely shoes, will de-
stroy the effect Of the most charming
toilet.
Don't unless you re possessed Of
great. powers Of self ,rsstraint) expose
yourself g the temptation Of cheap sales.
Don't abovs I'll things. forget that You
are woman; she i Tar more attractive

WISCONSIN WELL GOVERNED.

The Democratic Administration Saves the
Taxpayers $75O,OOo in Four Years.
+ The taxpay ers OF the stale Of Wiscor
sin are to receive direct evidence OF tie
benefits of Democratic administration
this year in the reduction of the state tai
levy from nearly million dollars to lest
than a quarter of q million, the reduction
coming from the accumulation in the
treasury as the result of four years
Democratic administration of the affairs
of state.
+ 70 make the fact of the reduction more
plain SO that it cannot be misunderstood
by anybody, let it be brought down t.
the actual figures Of the state tax levy az
compared with the levy of 1890, the last
year Of Republican state administration
In 1890 this state tax levy. with much
smaller population, and consequently 9
real need for much less money, was
1891 ,66O.42. This year, the fourth Of
Democratic administration, it is $240, 600
q difference of enough moment to be d
interest to every taxpayer of the state.
The proposition to apply the accumu.
lation IN the treasury to the reduction Of
state taxes this year has been long under
consideration but the final dec sion has
been delayed until it could be definitely
'ascertained what amount could be de.
voted to that purpose and still leave il
the treasury funds enough to meet all re.
quirements. This matter having been
fully settled beyond any doubt as to the
receipts and Disbursements of the coming
year, the necessary action has been taken
and the state tex commissioners, ACTING
under the statute provided for that pur.
pose, have made their order applying
about three quarters Of million dollars
in the treasury to the tax levy for the
year. or to be exact in figures, the sum Of
$742,57O. This sum Is more than three
fourths Of the levy and it leaves only
s24o,0 900 to be raised by taxation to sup.
ply all the educational and other 4neede
OF the state for the coming year.
For example, Milwaukee county viii
pay go 600 OF state tax this year, while
N 1880 the amount was over $4,000. b
When the people of the state como q
consider that there has been very large
increase IA the population Of ths state Il
the past four years. and that conaeonant.

STATUE OF ST. PATRICK

Unveiled at st. vincent's Church, st. Paul
Sermon by Rev M. Cooney.
Another beautiful statue has beer
placed in st. Vincent's church, being th'
sixth OF these fine works Of art in the
cred edifce, and which makes it no
only one of the most beautiful adorned
sanctuaries in the city, but, as remarked
by Rev. Father Cooney, it deserves to b
called "a religious house of art" Tht
new statue, which is life. like represen
tation of st. Patrick, is most artistic il
it's conception, and was designed by
famous sculptor of Paris, having beer
presented to st. Vincent's church by Mr.
Patrick Mccarthy. The altar of ,ht
saint was prettily decorated with flowers
and myrlads of Lights. The statue wa.
blessed by Rev. L. Cosgrove, pastor Of
the church, and the sermon was preached
by Very Rev. Mark Cooney, President d
st. Joseph's Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa
The sermon was a most eloquent PAL o
gyric on the life, character and work Of
the great Apostle. He recalled the glo,y
of Ireland and it's people during the
three or four centuries succeeding the
close of St. Patrick's career. Told how
the youth of Europe focksd to it's schools
and colleges, it being universally titled
"the Island of Saints and Doctors" How
it maintained that position despite Dan
sh and Norman invaders until unfor.
tunately its sacred soil was cursed by the
presence of the English. Then had q
gloomy day set in for poor Ireland.
The lights that had burned without
intermiseion in her shrines and sanctu-
aries we're ruthlessly extinguished. Her
colleges and seminaries which had served
to educate and re- enlighten Europe IN
the Christian faith were consigned to the
flames or demolished by other means, to
the dread havoc Of which the ruined
towers of our day bear sad and striking
testimony. In those days in the words
of the immortal Davis:
''They bribed the flock they bribed the son,
To sell the priest and rob the sire;
Their dogs were taught alike to run
Upon the scent of wolf and fria,.'
But yet, Notwithstanding that all the
power and the hellish ingenuity Of the
alien invader had been devoted to the
xirpation wholly of the Irish people
and their Catholic faith be said, that
thank God, that to day both are full OF
life and vigor in the dear old land of
Patrick, Bridget and Columbkille. The
Rev. speaker reviewed what seems to
have been the divines ordained mission
of the Irish exiles, praised them for their
great fidelity in all lands, and under ter
ribly trying hardships, and in conclusion,
he pictured the day, not far remote may
hap, when the descendants of the Irish
in Australia and America shall rally to a
crusade in China and Africa and chris
tianize these benighted laws as did their
foretatbers Europe in days gone by. The
services closed with benediction, the par.
ish choir rendering excellent music.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

Archibald Edward Theophilus Jones
Had way of expressing his feelings in moans
In sobs and sighs,
And dolorous CRIES
The water continually ran from his eyes
Upon every occasion he started the bawli"
At tho slliost ,rifle, or nothing at all,
Till his mother declared: "Why, Tbeophilus
dear,
If you are not moro careful, you won't leave
tearl"
Sand somo day, you know,
1t might happen so,
Your f~elinrs, or head, might receive hard
blow;
A blow that would really bo worthy tear,
And by being so lavish ut present, fear
You'll have not tear left,
And being bcreft
or the tears that are needful to make good
cry,
With no means of relieving your feelings you'll
diei"
But Theophilus paid to this counsel no heed
He continued to roar
And cry as before.
, The family wished themselves deaf-yes, in.
deed;
Although certainly some
or them wished he was dumb,
For surely among things excessively trying
May be reckoned the child that forever Is cry
ing.
Well the worst of the story remains to be told.
He was weeping one morning-bec ause it was
cold
| When he felt n strange culver,
A shake and n shivcr;
1t began AZ the point where his eyes met his
nose,
And ran through his backbone quite down to
his toes
Astonished, he stopped for an instant his wall,
And when to renew it he tried-ah, sad talel
Alas how can 1 tell
OF the fate that befellY
This poor little boy found he'd cried himself
dry,
Not tear could he squeeze from his dear little
eye;
Though he struggled his hardest, twas useless
to try.
Vain-all vainl
And an unsatisfactory cry
Is the one where you haven't tear in your eyei
Boys, be warned by his fate,
Before it's too late;
Don't cry for small matters,
Slight bruises and batters.
Or, indeed. who can say
1t might happen some day,
When some weighty occasion for crying should
rise,
You'd be left, like young Jones, with no tears
in your eyes!

An Eccentric Physician.

The Russian emperor's physician,
Prof. Zakharin, is famous for his &C.
centricities. When he is called in to
attend patient special arrangements
must be made in the house. All dogs
must be kept out of sight, all clocks
must be stopped and all doors must be
tbrowti wide open. The professor, on
entering, goes through a process Of
progressive undressing, leaving his fSrs
in the hall, his overcoat in the next
room, his overshoes in the third, his hat
in the fourth, and SO on. He allows no
one to speak but himself, except to say
mo" or Eyes" in answer to questions.
His eccentricities, however, cease at
the bedside of the patient. There he
is kind and painstaking, and so success
ful that he is several times miDio
aire.

fully of the sizes given and nail the
top, or cover, on the same as the bot
tom, then with rip saw cut all around
the sides of the box, two and one-hah
inches down from the top, and in this
from the box.
This cover will have the upper end of
the sides and ends of the box, which
will form sort of edging all around
the lower part of the lid, as may be
seen in the illustration.
Next get two long strips of wood
two and one-half inches wide and one
half or fve-eighths of an inch thick, and
with one of them form a base all
around the bottom of the box, another
one at the top edge of the box proper,
and still another around the lid, and
with pair of hinges, with which to
fasten the lid to the box, and a chain
to keep the cover from falling back too
far when opened, the chest will appear
like the illustration.
A pair of iron handles, that can be
purchased at any hardware store for a
few cents each, are to be fastened %
the ends of the chest above the middle,
also lock at the front will be a con-
venience.
One or two sliding trays can be ar
ranged to fit the inside of the chest of
pine or white wood, not more than
three-eighths of an inch in thickness.
They should be trifle shorter than the
inside width of the chest, SO they will
slide easily without wedging.
Divisions can be made in the trays,
dividing each in three or four COM
partments, in which different supplies
of nails, tacks and small tools may be
kept.
A track, or cleat, of thin wood
nailed to the inside of either end of the
chest will serve to hold the trays in po-
sition.
With the addition of several coats Of
paint and your name, if you choose to
paint it on, you will have tool chest
that will be substantial and useful
one, as well as good piece of furniture
for your workroom.-N. Y. Recorder.

She answers the carols OF blithesomo birds,
As she tolls content with n kitchen task,

Perhaps she gathers the gentle kline
Mid odors of hawthorn hedge and clover;
Perhaps she runs in a fairy race
Under the rustic fence or over,
Not in the city will all men find
The stulwart lassos of this good kind,
The rosy check and the dancing curl,
The stalwart form and the teoth OF pearl,
The strongth-with sonse-of the farmers

Her soul Is clean as her eyes arc clear,
She ILLS the bounds of her homespun sphere,
Caring bat little for boarded wealth.
Her heart and cheeks have the hues OF

Rich in the joys without alloys
In touch with nature, the flowers and trees,
Her mind content in the wholesome poisc,
Absorbed in blessings from such as these,
Her life is level. her words arc true,
Her heart as light Us dancing feather,
Her souls horizon as good TO Wow
