Lafayette, too, paid her visit of respect,
and when she died the whole country
mourned, the members of the Senate and
House wore Grape on their arms. and
there were services in the various
churches.
Why did we marry-you and I?
An, me. why did we: IN our youth
vowed loved; ana your reply,
Heart-sung, yet silent seem the truth.
Beside our loves now swelling tone
How faint was that first throb. dear heart
IL was babe that since has grown
Big as the world of which we re part.
Ay, bigger yet, like Paradise;
For when you fold me to your breast,
Or drink deep from your dear eyes,
The world forgot, with all the rest
Give more dear nobler half! l thirst
For all the love you once kept hid.
What If we did not love at first?
Thank God, sweet wife. we thought we did

An over-sensitive conscience, says the
New York Tribune, is sometimes
troublesome virtue, as Mrs. A. has often
found to her cost. Things that she has
left undone,' and thought of afterward,
form constant trial of her gentle life
Not long ago, while travelling in the
west, she stopped at a hotel in Cincin-
natl, and on the morning of her departure
she had some bananas, figs, ETC., brought
up to her room with her breakfast. just
before leaving, as she gave a last glance
about to see that nothing was forgotten.

object slowly crawling up the wall. III

home, my ever-imaginative conscience be-
gan to trouble me. Why had not sum

sudden thought struck me. 1T must be!
Yes, there is no doubt about it! 1t un-

longer. So | wrote out a long telegram,
which cost small fortune, explaining all
about the dreadful creature, and asking
that it might be looked for and killed at
once.
This l wired to the hotel keeper, and
felt much easier in consequence, and
afterward forgot all about the occurrence
until q few months later, when L again
stopped in Cincinnati en- route with some
friends to California. l remembered my
scare, and, although rather ashamed of
the fuss had made, summoned up cour-
age to ask the proprietor what he had
done about it, and if the tarantula had
been found.

me in kindly, tolerant fashion, as if 1

Not many people know how the name
of bloomer came to be applied to the style
of woman's dress sometimes called the
divided skirt. Mrs. Amelia Bloomer,
after whom the garment was christened,
resides with her husband in Council
Bluffs, their residence to-day being the
one in which they took up their abode
furty years ago, when Council Bluffs, now
city of 5000 people, was a somewhat
struggling village of 300 souls; Mrs
Bloomer, now rs years old, carries her
years easily, her fifty-four years of mar
ried life having been unmarried by other
than the feeciest of temporary clouds.
II was in 1851 that she began TO wear the
costume which is now known throughout
the English-speaking world as the
boomer She was then living at Seneca
Falls, N. Y, where she was publishing
| temperance paper called the Lily. In
addition 10 being a prohibition advo
cate the paper also devoted considerable
space to the subject of woman suffrage.
A Mrs. Miller, who in 1851 paid visit 10
Seneca Falls, appeared in the bifurcated
dress, and Mrs. Bloomer published de-
scription of it. She and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton adopted the style and advocated
its general adoption, Mrs. Bloomer wore
the costume on several lecture trips, and
in this way it became associated with
and finally known by her name. BY and
by Horace Greeley took the subject up,
and was followed by other editors, the re-
suit being that the bIfurcated became
known all over the country as the blcomer.
1t is said on good authority that small
drop earrings are TO DC worn again, WHICH
draws attention to the fact OF now com
pletely any but a diamond solitaire ear
ring has vanished from the ranks of fash
ion. The present demand for small orna-
ments, buckles, slides, lace and hat pins,
and the innumerable other trinkets in
gold and silver which are now in vogue
has given distinct impetus to the trade
of the ieweler and silversmith.
When the first Turkish minister, Mele
Mele, came to Washington, says the New
York Times, grand ball was planned in
his honor. Hundreds of invitations were
sent out. and nearly everybody who re-
ceived one came, for there was much
curiosity to see the important Turk in
his native dress. Particularly were per-
sons anxious to examine the splendid
dress turban which had been described
and talked about, made, as II was, OF
plaster Of paris, yet looking like the mn,
est muslin When the evening arrived
Mele Mele seemed TO be the only one who
was not having good time. He stood
looking as if he did not know that every
body was admiring him and altogether
very much bored till suddenly he
caught a glimpse OF big negro woman,
