that Chicago is unfit for telescope
purposes. There is too much dust,
smoke, and, possibly, gas In the at
mosphere of the great city or, the

say, and hence It is decided that the
big telescope shall be set up In the
clearer atmosphere of Wisconsin.

Out of Their POVERTY.

A touching and pathetic incident &C.
Cured at the Corbin school in West
Bay City The principal learned that
little girl in one of the rooms had
come to school, despite the fact that
she had not had q mouthful to eat in
nearly Two DAYS. The child was nearly
exhausted, but tried bravely to hide
her suflerings. Nature, however, got
the bet of pride, and the story was
told. The principal made little APP
peal to the children during the fore
noon and requested those who could to
bring food Tor a starving family on
their return from their dinner. Tears
were in the eyes of the school children
when her story was finished and the
response in the afternoon was a gener-
Gus one, conside ing the ability of the
donors. Several hand s'eighs loaded
with food ready cooked were taken
TO the suffering household, where a
family of six or seven he'd been suffer
ing the pangs o hunger tecause too
proud to make their needs known.

SOME of the best savings of

SOME of the best sayings of our
great humorists have been made in
the heat Of the moment, and then
forgotten. The late Miner Griswold
was once thrown into company with
a woman noted for her bitter tongue.
She had dissected and abused three
of his friends, and began upon the
fourth with the query, Il suppose
you know him?" Griswold nodded
his head in very dignified way aud
responded, "Yes, madam; we spent
ten happy years together as prisoners
in the penitentiary." The converse
ton came to sudden end.

mits her party dress which Is re-
newed many times, and when its use
fulness fer such occasions is over, 1T
meets the same fate as the best dress.
For especial house wear she may have
a wrapper and as. be she ever so saving,
there is time when wrapper be-
comes old, she is thus supplied with
lust an old wrapper to wear around
the house." This is all wrong. Prac-
tice economy in the street or best dress;
if you are inconspicuous and faultessly
tidy on the street, that sutfices, but In
the house you must be as pretty as pos
sible, and not only neat but daintily
fresh. This necessitates house gowns,
and not enc, but many. The cid best
gown may be made over for street use,
end the new best dress may be worn at
the theater, but neither should be
used as home dresses. This rule will
save both these gowns most trying

longer.
There are several sorts Of pretty

neat and pretty, are the easiest things

Mother Hubbard, nor Of dark print or
wool, nor of anything that will not
wash. A pretty kind and one that any
one can make is made full right from
the collar and is fitted in under the
arms little and over the hips. A sur
plice, serpentine, or kerchief front is
added, but, don't be discouraged, these
big names mean only a scarf-like piece
sewed along the armhole and little
way up the shoulder seam, and then
the two scarfs are tied together over
the bust, or crossed over 1t, carried
under the arms and tied in the back.
The wrapper may be of any light print
or wash goods, and the kerchief front
of RULED white muslin. This makes a
dainty breakfast wrapper or room robe.
Practical and working house dresses
must invariably be short and of the
many cheap prints, challies or muslins,
or the pretty soft lannelettes may be
used. These wash, are inexpensive
and do not need starching. Always
choose light and delicate colors.
