W. c. GRACE, JR. passing year since then, however, W. G. Grace has added to his fame, and he is now credited with the record of 90 ccnturies-a record unparal- leled in the history of first class cricket

The Queer Armor of Football Players.


 The armor of football players is fear fully and wonderfully made. The most striking feature of the equipment is the "head harness It Is the result of an evolution. First the rubber mouthpiece which gives the intensely excited player something to clinch his teeth on and thereby prevent the breaking of the same by some sudden shock, was invented. Then the nose mask was designed by some one to protect a nasal bone already frac- tured from further injury. Now it is to como into general use as a preventive of the first injury.
 Then came the padded guards for the ears, which seemed to suffer a good deal in the rushes. But previous to this shin protectors made of canvas and whalebono had been added to the quilted canvas knickerbockers and the tightly laced can vas jacket.
 For the protection of the abdomen an ingenious arrangement of wire; cotton and chamios skin was produced to fill long felt want, and ready sale was found for elastic caps and supporters for shoulders, elbows, forearms kneecaps, ankles and wrists. An aspiring athlete clad in all of these extraneous adjuncts to the football players outfit would be safe from injury by anything short of a railroad collision.
 The elaborate headgear is made of light watch spring steel, leather straps with lambs wool facings and vulcanized rub her. A wide band of leather, with tho lamb skin next to the flesh, passes across the forehead to tho rear of the head. A center strap, similarly constructed, passes back over the head. From the encircling band are wide, padded straps, which en- compass the ears in horseshoe shape and extend we'll forward to the cheeks
 The rubber nose mask, a stiff affair, ex- tending over the mouth and to the chin line, is attached to the forehead strap and the cheek pieces. Four little slot. in it's widest part permit breathing.

home. A girls mind can be judged by her
choice OF words. and that choice is influenced
by her associates largely. But the great ana
overwhelming reason for the girls not using
slang is. that often. perhaps one should say
generally. slang originates in some anecdote.
oftentimes exceedingly vulgar and OF evil IN
tent. l have heard girls use slang phrases
that if a stranger heard he would conclude
that they were familiar with obscene and vile
stories, so vile that gentlemen would not re-
peat them to each other. Yet they had heard
men use these expressions and had used them
themselves entirely unconscious OF their
meaning. They would have shrunk back
with horror from the use OF such words II
they had known in what they originated.
The language of concert halls. saloons. ana
low resorts, OF the vilest places oftentimes
filters into the public speech. and is taken up
by the press. and girls are apt to adopt these
expressions. when if they knew the origin OF
them they would not for the world make use
OF them. Good, clean, clear. wholesome Eng
lish. as musical rs irving and Goldsmith and
Addison could write, is the proper language
of girls, and whenever they use slang to
brighten language with they tread on dam
gerous ground. / once heard u pretty girl,
as good as she was pretty, use some slang
phrase very much in vogue with certain peo-
pie ut that time. After she had stepped aside,
young man said TO another: rs il possible
that she has the slightest comprehension OF
the words she has been using!" The other
said: Il know she has not; she is clean
minded girl. and would be shocked If she
were told that she was using the familiar
talk of places of low resort" Suppose there
had been no kind friend to thus apologize for
her. Girls, don't use slang.

GOWNS FOR LITTLE GIRLS.

Between IL and IA the mother finds the
most trying time il the matter Of clothes
selection for her young daughter. She does
not wish to rush her into the maturer styles
of early womanhood and she cannot keep her
in the baby frocks suitable for her little sis
ter, therefore she anxiously looks about for
some particular mode neither too young nor
too old in its makeup This spring there are
some especially pretty models for
girls of that age, the four iliustra-
tions given on this page showing as
many unique ideas that may be followed out
in materials and colors to suit individual
tastes. A pretty brald-trimmed frock is in tan
crepon, with the drapery OF the shoulders
and yoke ornamented with rows of fine
brown silk braid. The skirt has the braid set
on in vandykes. caught with velvet rosettes.
The belt is of velvet finished at the back by a
rosette
The next for Summer afternoon wear is of
white China silk, with trimmings of green
velveI ribbon. This style is especially pretty
in pale blue and brown velvet. The third
costume is of navy blue hop sacking, with
silk rufiles over the shoulders. trimmed with
gold braid. This braid is used on the skirt,
set on in four plain rows. The belt of blue
velvet terminates in long loops and ends held
by a gold buckle in the back.
The fourth model is suitable for girl of 16.
1t is OF gray Lansdowne, with a berthe and
epauiettes trimmed with oriental band trim
ming. Three silk loops and buttons orna-
ment the front where the shoulder drapery
meets. The hats worn by these young misses
are quite up to date. the sailor with Mercury
wings being a shape much approved by young
girls. The dressier styles are feather and
blossom trimmed. With these guides before
them mothers should not find it difficult to
plan the wardrobe of the small daughter.

Nothing ever occurred ut these somewhat

been considered perfectly correct in the best

disturbed by a little variety actress. who, in
spirit of fun, had brought Turkish fez with
her. As the captain passed her, she whipped
off his cap, and, substituting the fez, ex-
claimed

trembled in fear, and her companions no

SPRING GARDENING.
Some of the Prettiest Plants to Grow at
This Season.

Some of the Prettiest Plants to Grow at
This Season.
The graceful drapery of climbing plants
which cover the nakedness of bare walls
gives to unsiehtly places pleasing and artis-
tic appearance.
The cultivation of these plants is easy and
the fragrance of some is delightful. Among
the prettiest is passitora, or passion flower,
which. when planted against the pillars of
the veranda. produces Il most pleasing effect.
They may be started from seeds obtained at
any first-class seed store.
The soil required to make these plants pro-
duce good results should be of medium rich
nature. 1t is better to use some patent fer
tilizer for dressing, thereby avoiding noxious
weeds and more or less foreign seeds, which
are liable to be found in stable dressing.
For flower beds the phlox Drummondii is
very effectiv, and almost unequaled in va
riety of color When once they commence TO
bloom they last the entire season. The seeds
are easy to gather and increase in quantity
from year to year For early Towering the
seeds are sown in the house in boxes during
the month of March. and transplanted TO the
garden when the weather becomes warm.
Great care must he taken to have the soil
in good mellow condition. As the seeds are
fine it is best to spread them on the surface
and cover with fine sitting of soil. says the
Household.
If n border be desired euphorbia, sometimes
called "snow on the mountain would make

anchor of perila in the center. This is an
ornamental foliage plant of blackish purple
hue, the rest of the bed to be filed with candy

HINTS ON HAIRDESSING.

Styles may come and styles may go, but the
sensible woman selects some fashion of dress
ing her hair as becoming to her and sticks
to it.
1t is the frivolous and light-headed people
who are always changing about. There are
few things more absurdly silly than the prac-
tice Of taking up every new fad in the arrange
ment of the hair. Some women and young
girls suggest to the observer that they have
consumed all Of their time and brains in this
portion of the toilet. The hair frizzled and
crimped, brushed up here and pulled down
there. knotted, braided. coiled into the figure
8, and generally fused with until it is a mercy
if the foolish victim does not make herself
look grotesque instead of beautiful, as it is
very evident she hopes 20 do. II would be quite
worth while for the average young woman who
desires to present an attractive appearance to
go TO some hich-class artist and get directions
for doing her hair or, at least a model from
which to work. 1t would save her Il great
deal of anxiety and trouble. unless. indeed,
she be one of that variable sort that is salts
fed with nothing save for a very short time.
Every head and face has some emnentiy suit
able style, and this should be followed to
certain extent, at least, during the wearers
entire lifetime.
Marie Antoinette, Martha Washington. and
other notable women would scarcely seem
like themselves with their hair arranged in
the frivolous fashion that many women of the
day affect. Imagine Frances Willard with
her hair in a straight bang or George Eliot in
false front or frizzes. Such a suggestion
would be ridiculous i'll the extreme. 1t is
only usage that makes us tolerate this absurd
practice of changing the style of dressing the
hair so frequently. Women with dignity and
brains choose style and adhere to it regard
less of these changes. and are much more ele-
giant and attractive looking in consequence.
