 North had the true demagogue' DOW CT, and his belief in his own words lent him a rude Cloquence which was ire sistible over the class with which he consorted. The kindling eyes and quick breathing of the three men he TOW ad- dressed testified to the influence he wielded.

 For moment after he had done speaking there was silence; then, in a low, threatening tone, one of the men ejaculated:

MEMORIzING MUSIC.
If This Art Is Not a Gift, by All NIeans
 Cultivate It,

CuIt1NAte H.
 A good memory and the ready use of it form the brilliant scholar if not the thoughtful one. the entertaining friend with his ever ready budget of amusing stories and the accommodating musi- clan, who does not have to plead, Music left at home" A good memory is often a gift; but, like everything else worth possessing, it must be cultivated to be retained. But, unlike talent for one of the arts, an excellent memory can be acquired, and while strengthened by ex- ercise can be almost entirely lost by lack of it.
 A retentive memory is a great aid to one musically gifted, and this, says The Echo, is something for which teacher is in a great measure responsible. Al most all pupils, if left to follow their own inclinations, will avoid memorizine unless it comes easily and naturally. Unless teacher demands and insists upon memorizing this line of work will be neglected. Do not take your pupils word for it that he 'caa't' commit any, thing to memory. Test his ability your self, and in nearly every case your ef- forts will be successful. The practice needed for memorizing is excellent, and it is almost impossible to get the same amount of work upon piece which the work of committing to memory demands.
 A piece is never really yours until you have memorized it. It seems often as though three distinct grades exist in committing anything to memory-first for yourself, when all goes smoothly so long as no one is by to listen and direct your mind. Then comes period when we can play with ease, provided we feel our audience not to be a critical one, but let timidity seize us, and our mind seems a blank. and the whole piece is gone as completely and suddenly as though we had never known a note oft. Practice your pieces until you are so cer- tain of what you are doing that the most critical audience could not rob you of what you feel and know to be yours.
 After you have memorized piece play it over occasionally with your notes. for mistakes creep ill so easily when one plays from memory. It is such a com mon fault to grow careless unconscious ly. A good memory is no indication of musical ability, nor does the lack of it show a musical deficiency. It is all greatly a matter of education and expe- rienCe.

A Rounded Life.

A most indefatigable and efficient phil lanthropist, whose labors seem to all his friends as something almost superhuman, yet who never appears harassed or jaded or worn out, was asked how he contrived to accomplish so much and yet retain so much vigor and freshness. He replied, By getting other people to do all they can." Doubtless this is the secret of many a noble and valuable life. It is not wasted in fruitless details or driven to distraction by press of business too great for endur- ance. Others have been called into the field, instructed. inspired and encouraged to do their best, and, while he who has chosen them is thus enabled to live whole and rounded life, they also in their turn have been blessed and ennobled by having their best possibilities developed New York Ledger.

DAINTY RIBBON WORK.

1t Has Its Vaccinations and Is Worth a
 Trial In These Modern Times.
 Given the exquisitely tinted ribbons now obtainable and proper apprecia- tion of what is applicable to the mate- ri!ls used, very dainty old world effect may be produced by the employment of these tiny Chinese ribbons, reminding one irresistibly of the days of powder, patch and hoop, and eke the sedan chair. Of conrse it would be absurd to attempt to adorn anything large with design in ribbons, for the petite buds and blos- soms it is alone possible to produce by their means would be completely thrown away on large surface.
 A dainty ts'ife, such as a reticule, is just suitable for the purpose. Indeed it is on these old fashioned bags, long laid by and forgotten, that we often find specimens of ribbon work, maybe faded and stained with damp, but still beauti- ful, and, above all, curious. Many garland is cunninglywrought on rich soft black or dove colored satins, of make never to be met with in our times. There is nothing more appropriate to an old Chippendale slide screen than one of
 
 delicate satin foundation. It is best done in frame, says The Housewife, which furnishes the following:
 The leaves and petals of most flowers are formed by one stitch of the ribbon, taken through with a large eyed chenille needle. The petal, when formed, needs to be carefully spread out and arranged with pin, and care must be taken that the ribbon twists not. Centers of flow CTS are made with French knots of the same material, although I have come across examples in which chenille was employed for that purpose. All stalks and stamens being put in with a fine, glossy make of silk Cfilofloss answers ad- nirably), the effect is light and delicate in the extreme.
 One of the blush roses takes much time and patience to accomplish, mass of shell-li1e petals formed by a curious mode of gathering up the ribbon, sewed round and round from the rose colored center to the pale outer petals, on cardboard foundation afterward to be attached to its proper place.

 ''I remember you now. You are Imogene Duke.
 ''Thank you for the mental effort made in my behalf,' she answered mockingly. Yes, I am Imogene Duke.''
 "You were little girl in short frocks when I saw you last," he said, with the same deliberate voice and manner. "You have greatly changed. "
 And you were a boy-a rather un- pleasant boy, I thought, she retorted, with provoking candor. You have not changed much.
 He bowed gravely. And your fla ther," he questioned, lis he well?"
 "Certainly none the better for any interest you have shown in his wei fare, " she returned sharply. II am told you have been back nearly month, yet you have not thought it worth your while to visit your father S old friends. !"
 "Do they affect the usages of civil ized society in this barbarous region?" he asked, with a drawl and slight lifting of his handsome eyebrows.
 'I wonder why you have consented to become dweller in this barbarous region, " she replied sarcastically.
 Ut was not my own wish, 1 assure you," he said composedly. Ut was my fathers strict injunction that I should take personal charge of the mines."
 Which you have obeyed by never once going near them and deputing your duty as proprietor to petty ty- rant as ignorant of your interests as he is careless of the needs of your en- ployees."
 You, at least, appear to be well informed,' he responded, with the faintest trace of irony. "The grimy delivers in Monckton pits have reason to be flattered."
 A touch of color shot into the girls cheek.

 ''As rode past your gate just now, :" she pursued, biting her lip to keep down her vexation, II heard deputation from the miners complaining that a portion of one of the galleries called Ten Foot Drive is in a dangerous con- dition, liable at any moment to imperil the lives of those working there.

 Yes" he said languidly, "Joyce understands those people. have great confidence in Joyce"

A man is man, as you have said, and you may have the chance, one day, to see for yourself which is the real man this languid, weak eyed millionaire or Matthew North, the gang boss.
 ''So long as you act worthily, Mat thew" said the girl, turning her lus- trous eyes upon the excited face of the young miner, with gentle glance which seemed to quiet him at once, II shall always be your fricnd-if my friendship is of any value to you.
 ''Oh. he murmured impulsively. "it is worth all the world to me. l would lose life sooner than your good opin ion
 The black horse, which throughout the conversation had paved and snorted restively, now seemed to get his head, for he bounded forward suddenly, as if relieved from the curb. For an in- stant Matthew North saw little hand waving him adieu; then horse and rider disappeared in a cloud of dust.
 For many minutes North stood gazing after them like q man in a dream then, with deep breath, he passed his hand confusedly across his forehead. A small, dark object lay in the road at his feet. He stopped and picked it up; it was a lady's riding glove. He brushed the dust off it reverently, turn ed it over and over on his large palm, l.I. ment pressed It to his lips. Glancing about him with a shamefaced air, as if fearing he had been observed, he hastily thrust the glove into the breast of his shirt and strode rapidly away.

A Few Eve DOn'tS.

Apractical Oliver Optic in Good House keeping says:
 Don't allow cold wind to strike the eyes.
 Don't try to do eye work with the light shining in the face.
 Don't have colored shades on the lamps. Use white or ground glass.
 Don't go directly from warm room into cold, raw atmosphere.
 Don't open the eyes under water in bathing, especially in salt water.
 Don't let any strong light, like that from electricity, shine directly into the eyes.
 Don't strain the eyes by reading, sew ing or any like occupation with an inn perfect light.
 Don't bathe infamed eyes with cold water. That which is as warm as it can be borne is better.
 Don't sleep opposite window in such manner that strong light will strike the eyes on awakening.
 Don't, above all, have the children sleep so that the morning sun shall shine in their faces to arouse them.

 Is it you. Matthew North:' said the girl, in clear, resonant voice that sounded in the young mans ear like chime of joyous bells. She bockoned him to her side with an imperious wavo of her small, glovcd hand. What are you doing here at this hour, and why are you not at your post in the miner"
 North approached. holding his hat in one hand, while with the other he stroked the glossy neck of the horse.
 Tt is a holiday" he replied. with an accent of contempt struggling through his respectful tone. The new proprietor-the young lord of the man. or-came to take possession of his do- main this morning, and we, his serv- ants, were graciously given leave to welcome him.

 A flame of hatred sprang into Norths eyes as he answered:
 II only caught glimpse of him as he went by in his carriage. He did 1 not condescend to speak to us.
 Is he handsome, Matthew?"
 It may be so, Miss Duke," replied the young man, with an affectation of indifference which his resentful air be- lied. '' 1 profess little knowledge of | such things. His feat tures are regular His face is colorless as a sick girls. His hair is light and carefully parted in the middle. His figure is small and slight"- He raised his own powerful frame unconsciously, as it seemed, to his full height. His eyes are pale blue and cold as dead mans. That is about all-oh, to be sure, I did see something like an eyeglass hanging to the lapel of his coat.
 "Oh. Matthew, Matthew!" laughed the girl, why do you hate the poor gentleman so?''
 Gentleman!' repeated North, step ping back as if he had received a blow. "Yes, you are right, Miss Duke" he added in low, bitter tone. ''He is gentleman, the owner of millions, brought up in luxury and college bred yes, that makes him a gentleman, even here in America, where we pre- tend to recognize no class distinctions and I, poor workman, his paid la- borer, have no right to criticise him.
 Come, Matthew. replied the girl seriously, 'you are unjust. I did not mean to wound you. You know have no class prejudices.

DyeinC Madras Curtains.

Those who have used them know that the pretty madras curtains after one or two seasons become soiled. Wash them with cold suds. with little ammonia in the water. If they fade, eye them cream color with weak solution of yellow or orange dye. and they will look like new. Almost every one has scrim or cheesecloth curtains, and when they are tired of white or cream color they may be treated to bath of any desired color and be as good as new curtains.

Then cut % pieces of felt like the fig ure and buttonhole each around the edge with embroidery silk of a contrast ing color, work star in the point of each and lay them around the edge of foundation, allowing about half of each piece to project beyond the circle and each small or thumb shaped piece to overlap the back of the piece adjoining.
 Tack them to the mat with invisible stitches, and you then have an exceed ingly pretty ornament. White felt work ed with gold colored silk, green worked with lighter shade of green, or olive green and pale blue are pretty combina- tions, says The Household, authority for the foregoing description.
