The Fancy for Tulle.

To return to hats, the novelty in sum
mer millinery is the use of tulle, white
especially, but colored also, on round
hats and capotes alike. Rosettes of
white tulle alternate with others OF
violet tulle on chalky-white braid hats
surrounding the crown. Tulle and
birds are also associated for some I'M
known reason on many hats, choux,
bows and loops of white tulle support
ing bird on the crown, most often a
srowy-white bird or else one black as
jet. Sometimes only the wings and
tail feathers are used amid clouds of
tulie, while perhaps the head and
breast of the same poor bird peeps out
from similar clouds on another hat.
Dotted tuIle is also very effectively
used, and is not quite SO perishable as
the plain Parrots wings and tails are
used by Paris milliners on tulle hats
that are gathered on wire as fine as a
thread, and edged with a tiny ruche OF
tulle. A large rosette of white tulle
each side of hat is foundation from
which start sprays of flowers or stylish
aigrettes. Small bonnets of tobacco
colored straw are trimmed around the
crown with tulle choux of different
colors-pink, black, green, white and
blue. A black aigrette is in front, and
dropping violets in the back. -Harpers

Datntfes for tho Sick.

In providing dainties for sick people
1t should be remembered that sweet
things are seldom as tempting 20 the
sick as they would be If the person
were in health. Tart sweets, such as
crab-apple jelly or currant jelly, are
generally acceptable, but strawberry
preserves or jelly will sicken. They
belong to the cloying sweets. As .
general thing salty things taste best to
the convalescent; weak bouillon,
rather salt, or bit of nice, sweet ham,
with some butter toast tasting of the

YANKEE DOODLE IN INDIA.

An English Drummer Boys Decd Of Oar

Continual exposure to danger breeds
GOODNESS. The soldier who nervously
lodges the first bullet that whistles
past his head becomes Indifferent to

hours, with comrades dead and dying
about them, are callous and self-col-
lected. At the taking of the Shah
Nujeef, in Lucknow, by the English.
the commandment found it necessary to
signal to the English force at the Resi-
dency to make known his position. For
this purpose an adjutant, sergeant
and Drummer Ross, a boy only about
twelve years old and small for his years,
climbed to the top of the dome of the
Shah Nujeef by means of rope ladder.
There, with the regimental color OF
the Ninety-third and a feather bonnet
on the tip of the staff, they signalled
to the Residency, and the little drum
mer sounded the regimental call on a
bugle which he had learned to play.
The signal was seen, and was an
swered from the Residency by the low
cring of flag three times. But the
enemy on the Badshahibagh also saw
the signalling and the daring adven-
turers on the dome, and turned their
guns on them, sending several round
shots quite close them.
Their object being gained, our men
descended; but little Ross ran up the
ladder again like monkey, and hold
ing on to the spire of the dome with
his left hand waved his feather-bonnet
defiantly about his head.
Then he sounded the regimental cali
second time, and followed that by
the call known as 1.-THE Cock of the
North" which he sounded as blast OF
defiance to the enemy. When he was
pcremptorily ordered to come down
from his dangerous position he did SO,
but not before he had sung, waving hs
Aonnet all the time:

Nor lives in any land he,

Youth and Old Age.

A young green leaf clings to the
stem, but a brown and sere leaf EASILY
drops away. In the morning of fe we
dread to die, but as age creeps on and
natures forces become spent we care
less about the inevitable end. Bishop
Horne used this figure: when we rise
fresh and vigorous in the morning, the
world seems fresh, too, and we think
we shall never be tired of business or
pleasure; but by the time the evening
Is come, we find ourselves heartily so;
we quit all our enjoyments readily and
gladly; we retire willingly into little
cell: we lie down in darkness and re-
sign ourselves to the arms of sleep,
with perfect satisfaction and co.ipla-
cency. Apply this to youth and old
nge-life and death. "-Detre't Free

What strange stories of nobleheartcd-

of want. Weary from his long walk

that food was supple d to the sick, this

barn in the bottom and instructed his
darby to close the doors. Shortly he
came ont and took a sage survey OF the

His professional preparations were
to be made in secret down at the big

but if you will hang round that barn
it might be safer to bring your UNI

There had been no rain on Dancing
Branch for nearly two months.
Capt. Twitchell was greatly con-
cerned about his corn and also his cot
ton. The corn would not ear well nor
the cotton make good bolls, unless
water were forthcoming in some shape
before many days. He was likewise
at this time greatly troubled about his

'I'll tell you why, Nisby. It's pure,
