Useful Suggestions Concern

Are you well posted on the etiquette
of the wedding anniversary? Sending
out the invitation, accepting it and
celebrating this social function call
for strict attention TO details.
First, let us consider the list of an
niversaries which Father Time pre-
sents with due formality as the years
fit by. Here it is:
Cotton leads; second, paper; third,
leather; fourth, book; fifth, wooden;
sixth, garnet; seventh. wooden; eighth,
bric-a-brac; ninth, topaz; tenth, tin;
twelfth. silk and fine linen; fifteenth,
crystal; twentieth, china; twenty-fifth,
silver; thirtieth, pearl; thirty-ifth,
sapphire; fortieth, ruby; fiftieth,
golden; seventy-fifth, diamond
OF these, the last five rarely demand
recognition. An all-around glimpse
of those more generally observed may
give you some suggestions that will be
helpful.
Wedding anniversary invitations are
printed on cards or note-paper, prefer
ably the latter, They should read Mr..

The character of the occasion is in

the page. this being thanked by the two
annual dates-as electromagnetic 1874.
If for golden wedding, this lettering
is in golden; if for silver wedding, it
is in silver, the invitation being printed
in black ink.
No written acceptance need to be
sent in answer to this style of invita-
ton. You simply dispatch a present
with card attached, and if unable to
attend the reception, a graceful note,
expressing congratulations, is for
warded through the mail.
In regard to the giving of presents

Fldelltr in Little Thing..

There is no real elevation Of mind in
a contempt of little things. IT is, on
the contrary, from too narrow and con-
tracted views that we often consider
Of little moment things which are
really of immense and most extensive
consequence. The more we are by ma
ture prone to neglect little things, the
more we should fear the effects of this
neglect, and be watchful over our
selves, and place around us, If possible,
some insurmountable barrier to our
remissness. Do not let us be discour-
aged by this constant necessity for
watchfulness as to trifies. To main
tain the conflict will at first require
firmness; but it is discipline that we
have need of, and one that will at last
bring self-control, and with it peace
and security for our souls.

A scHooLeoY.s MISTAKE.
This Story Contains = Lesson for Teach
ers as Well as Scholars.

ers as Well as Scholars.
A Brooklyn schoolboy about twelve
years old was strongly attached to his
teacher. His mother was poor. and
the lad never was so fortunate as to
have pocket-money. Some of his
schoolmates often gave flowers or fruit
TO the teacher, and it was a cause of
constant regret that he could not show
his affection for her in the same way.
In this frame of mind he was as
sailed by terrible temptation. In his
mothers room he found ten dollars
that belonged to her. These he stole,
and bought with them handsome pres
ents that he eagerly presented TO the
teacher
1t WAS precocious folly and speedily
exposed. for his mother, missing the
money and knowing that he had been
in the room, suspected that he had
taken it. She charged him with the
theft. At first he attempted to deny
it, but soon became confused, hung his
head and confessed that he had want
ed to please his teacher by giving her
presents, and had used it for that pur-
pose.
His excuse was that other children
gave her presents, and received in re-
turn smiles and thanks, and he never
had a penny so that he could give her
things" and let her know how much
he liked her. He did not want the ten
dollars for himself, but only for gifts
for her.
The boys mother reminded him of
her own poverty, and that the ten dol
lars could not be replaced without
weary days of labor and self-denial on
her part. In taking the money he had
not only become a thief and al
most broken Ter heart, but he had
also left her at her wits end to
know how she could earn enough to
get food and pay rent that was due.
Hardly any act of this boy could
have been more cruel and heartless
than his robbery of his Woodworking
eare-worn mother that he might have
the means for rivaling other boys in
giving presents to the amiable teach
er who had made herself a general
favorite. True sentiment, like charity,
begins at home. 1t is sicllly and un-
wholesome thing when it involves
those at home in suffering and dis
grace.
The boys crime was the same in
kind as that of embezzlers and de-
faulters who prove false to their finan-
cial trusts, covering up their crimes
until exposure stares them in the face.
Very often their motive for wrong.
doing is ambition to live handsomely,
10 entertain their friends lavishly. to
belong to expensive clubs and to drive
fine horses. In the end, their wives
and children have to pay heavily in
misery and disgrace for their self-in-
diligence and crimes.
Older and wiser heads than the
sentimental schoolboy have made the
same mistake of betraying dear ones
at home by yielding to false sentiment
and living beyond their means

HAPPY HOUSEHOLDS.
They Are Those In which tho AnnIvsrsa-
ries Are Remembered.


The happiest households are those
that do not let die out the sentiment
connected with various anniversaries.
Although gift-giving or recognition of
such events in suitable way may be
out of the question, owing to the
straitened circumstances of those
within the gates. there can yet be
little air of festivity when mothers or
fathers birthday comes around, or
some wedding anniversary is to be
celebrated. An extra dish, little
bunch of flowers, or some special music
prepared for the occasion will show
the kindly spirit and the loving remem-
brance that count far more than the
moneyed value of any gift.
As the children grow up if these fes-
rivals are encouraged they will have
much to look forward to, and much
more to remember in the years to come,
when they go out to do battle with the
world and find that sentiment is
crushed under foot and affection is re-
garded only as a side issue.
Life is full of beauty if we only know
how to gather it into our bins and
storehouses. There need not be great
wealth nor worldly honor, but loyal
clinging together of parents and chill
dren, marked by happenings that have
direct bearing on each ones individ-
ual history, will join the circle closer
together and make home life the ideal
thing that it ought to be.
Do not, we beseech you, plead that
you are too busy or too seriously occu-
pied with worldly affairs TO waste time
on such trivial matters as birthday
parties and wedding celebrations.
Such use of time is not waste, and
will prove among the sweetest memo
ries of childhood and old age long
after the little chain has been broken,
and one member after another gone to
that long rest from which there is no
awakening.

is seldom the case in regard to the
paper, cotton, tin, wooden, linen and
china anniversaries. At such affairs,
much of the merriment and jollity
among the guests is occasioned by the
unique presents offered.
A couple who had enjoyed the bliss
of married life for two years summoned
their friends to a paper wedding. This
event opened the way for artistic table
decorations on the part of the hostess
and novel souvenir offerings from the
guests.
The odd paper tablecloth was formed
of large sheets of crinkled paper, pasted
together and adorned, wherever the
joining occurred, by lengths of satin
ribbon Crinkled tissue napkins with
deep fringes, crinkled tissue doylies
and other paper furnishings were
shown in the faintest Of rose pinks
and pale green's.
The candle shades were of tissue,
decorated with tissue blossoms. There
were paper bonbon boxes at the place
of each guest, filled with choice sweet
les; tiny trays of sailed almonds APP
peared in papier-mache, delicately
painted, and pale pink papier-mache
finger bowls, with rose petals floating
on the perfumed water. also had place
amid the assortment of quaint paper
table settings.
AS for the. gifts! Well, everything
had showing, from note paper to ex-
quisite tissue lamp shades, bearing
beautiful garnitures of tissue flowers.
One very practical as well as pretty
present was a papier mache toilet set.
The pitcher, bowl, soap dish and small
err articles were of dainty cream tint,
painted in design of daisies and
grasses.
The shops teen with such delightful
novelties in every form that the search
for wedding anniversary presents,
from cotton to silver, is by no means a
diaicult one. A little originality, a
little taste and not very much money
will secure an exceedingly effective
congratulatory bit.-Golden Days.

The Spring,

OF all seasons 10 the year, is the one for
making radical changes in regard to
health. During the winter, the system
becomes to a certain extent clogged
with waste, and the blood loaded with
Impurities. owing to lack of exercise,
close confinement in poorly ventilated
shops and homes. and other causes.
This is the cause of the dull, sluggish,
tired feeling so general at this season,
and which must be overcome, or the
health may be entirely broken down.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has stained the
greatest popularity all over the country
as the favorite Spring Medicine. 1t ex-
pels the accumulation of impurities
through the bowels, kidneys. liver,
lunge and skin, gives to the blood the
purity and quality necessaro to good
health and overcomes that tired feeling.

ACQUITTED.-The courthouse ut
Upper Marlboro, Md, was crowded on
Saturday TO hear the case of rape
against Irving Small, a lad sixteen years
old. The prosecutriX, Miss Emma
Hutchinson, was on the stand for two
hours, and described the manner in
which her assailant approached her and
the commission of the crime In her
testimony she said that she knew the
man from the day of the occurrence,
March q, but feared to make his iden-
tity known, as she was sure that her
father would kill him on sight. When
she was able she went before n magis-
trate, but warrant had been sworn
out in advance. Mr. Hutchinson was
then sworn, and recited the story as
given him by his daughter. Here At

then proceeded to prove an alibi, which
was corroborated by the mother of the
boy and other friends. The jury was
out but few minutes, and returned
with verdict of not guilty. The APP
plause with which this was heard could
hardly be suppressed by the court, and
several persons were arrested by the
