These remarks were made by Tom

port We spent many afternoons as
old friends will, in reminiscent con-
versat.ou. / had been cruising about
the world nearly three years before IL
occurred to me that I WAS tired of it.
a mere romantic caprice, considerably
reinforced by Tom Abe1corn's brusque
persuasion, had led me into the service
in the first place, and now that the
glamor9f marine experience had worn
off began to wonder whether would
not be happier on land.
There was some reason to believe
that Tom was also growing dissatis-
fed, though he seldom limited any
thing TO that effect. He,was a rough
.and-ready fellow, and the life Of the
sea was more suited 90 his nature than
TO miRe. While i wat at college,
breal1ing down a naturally delicate
constitution by hard study, he was in
a machine shop. developing an iron
mnscle that l had occasion to envy
more than all the eruditien l had ac-
quired.
But while Tom was physically
adapted to cope with OCEAN vicissi-
tudes, there was magnet that ever
drew his thoughts ashore. He svas
engaged to be married. The father of
his inaDorata was n large and weak by
broom manufacturer in Philadelphia,
and Tom always spoke facetiously of
the young lady as BrOoms In fact,
that was the nickname by which size
was called by the members OF her FAM
lily and hen most intimate friends.

At the outbreak of the war between
the states Capt. Reynolds raised com.
pany of Mississippians and in the en-.
thusiasm of the occasion made some
rash promises to the parents of the

his company well uniformey. Years
passed, and one of the anxious fathers
visiting the Army of Northern Virginia
was mortified to see his boy IN rags. He
upbraided the coptain for not keeping
his company in uniform. The captain

A sunny, windy day should be Sc
lected and only one pair washed in
one day. First put the blankets on
them. Cut one pound of good soap in
small pieces and boil in two quarts of
water till dissolved. Add half n pound
of powdered borax Fill tub about
half full of water and add the soap
and borax. lie sure to have the tenn
! perature of the water the same as that
of the eatside air. This is not diff
ficult matter, as town water is usually
little colder than the air in spring
and summer, and only then should
blankets be washed. Press the
blankets down into the water and
avoid rubbing; then let the soap and
borax do the work-they certainly
will. Let the blankets soak for two
hours, .hen rinse them thoroughly in
several waters until the rinsing water
looks clear, taking care to have the
rinsing water the same temperature
as the first water and the outside air.
Then without wringing, put the
blankets on the line. Do not stretch
them, and be careful to hang them ex-
actly even, then the color in the stripes
Will not run into the white. Although
dripping wet, on clear day they will
dry in foar or five hours and will be
soft and clear. The wear, not the
washing, will show to a certain ex-
tent, although they will look more
like new ones than they did before
washing. Take in when perfectly dry.
They should not be ironed or pressed.
They will be clean and will smell
sweet. With set tubs the only hard
work is to get the blankets on the line
properly, and if some one will lend
hand" even this is not very laborious.

READ AND REMEMBER.

The secret of success is constancy to
purpose.
An obstinate man does not hold opin-
ions, but they hold him.
The best way for man to get out of a
lowly position is to be conspicuously ef-
fecrive in it.
The man who does not look up will
look down, and the spirit that does not
dare to soar is destined perhaps to ogrovel
A cheerful spirit is a great blessing.
1t makes the yoke Of our employments
easy and the burdens of our Affections
light.
Only as each man or woman performs
his or her personal duty in any depart
ment of life can that department be lift
ed to a higher plane.
Constant application to pleasure takes
away from enjoyment, or rather turns it
into the nature Of very burdensome
and laborious business.
Temptation often assails the finest ma
lures, as the pecking sparrow or destruc-
tive wasp attacks the sweetest and mel
lowest fruit, eschewing what is sour and
crude.
Our safety is in having lofty ideals and
in constant labor 10 secure their realiza-
ton. Let the getting of money be a
mans ideal, and he will of necessity
grow toward the dust.-Family Herald.

DON'TS FOR DRIVERS.

Don't try to beat the watch too often.
Don't condemn tips until you have tried
them.
Don't fail to retain frog pressure when
practicable.
Don't put on shoes or tips until colt is
well broken.
Don't keep colt standing on floor in
high heel shoes.
Don't ask him to exert himself if he is
not feeling well.
Don't expect speed at pure gait from
a leg weary colt.
Don't fail to handle his feet before send
ing him to blacksmith.
Don't permit colt to be rubbed until
he gets sore and peevish.
Don't neglect to teach him to score and
to let you do the driving.
Don't call for a supreme effort unless
he is going as true as die.
Don't try to go fast until a smooth,
regular stroke is established.
Don't ask colt to speed fast with his
head out of line with his body.
Don't continually cluck and tap a lazy
colt. 1t will make him loafer.
Don't drive colts for sweat and scrape
before they can show some speed.
Don't use heavier shoes than are neces-
sary to balance and regulate action.
Don't abuse the use of toe weights.
Judiciously applied, they are great ben
eft.
Don't forget that Anteeo and Antevolo
could both beat 2:20 before they wore

HAT, BASQUE AND GOWN.

Hats and bonnets of lace braid will be
more popular this year than ever.
The long basque, with rather full
skirts. is to be one of the standard gar.
ments of the season.
1t is said that velvet and lace are to be
the popular combination for full dress
wear for the coming summer.
Anew collar is made of 12 cores cut in
umbrella fashion This is seen on a
tailor costume of fine twill. The edge
of the collar is trimmed with narrow
braid stitched on by machine.
A novel waist trimming is made of
ribbons cut in lengths of about 10 inches.
These are arranged to fall in ruff1e fash
ion over the shoulders and bust. A
beading is made of ribbon braided into a
wide band.
The conspicuous and aggressive silk or
ribbon bow is falling into disfavor. 1t
has already been discarded by many
women of conservative tastes, and in its
place the soft looped bow of lace is like
ly to be adopted.
Shirred hats of black tulle, Grape or
silk muslin will be worn. They are
made upon wires and may be bent in
any shape to suit the wearer. The trim
ming is usually of wreaths of poppies,
roses or wild flowers.
Long basques of fancy silk, with
masses of lace, are among the coming
dressy additions to the toilet. The skirts
will cover one-third of the length of the
dress skirt. Some models have lace
founces nearly half yard deep.
A new idea in bodice making is to al
low extra length to the outside material
This is left loose below the bust and falls

place of a belt and if carefully arranged

Frenchifled Bills or Fare.

In winter, as well as in summer,
the proprietors of restaurants and
hotels put upon their bills of fare
names which convey no idea of the
delicious dishes or dainty delicacies,
and willfully pervert the language
Of two countries into meaningless
phrases.
Ask them why the habit is condoned
and variety of answers are given,
but the gist of them all is that the
American public likes to be hum
plugged
Said one innkeeper: "Do you sup
pose l could get 15c. for dish of
Irish potatoes if on my card printed
the name in that PLAN way? No, in
deed. l put it down as 'Pomme de
