AT THE TOP.

A bishop had been having some re-
pairs and alterations done to his
palace, and, as most people are
aware, there is no more certain way
OF getting rid of money than this.
When the work was finished, the
bishop called for the architect and
complimented him upon the success
of his labors, adding, II suppose l
ought to pay you now To this
the architect grimly replied:
ut is usual"
flow much is your fee ~
"A hundred and fifty guineas."
Dear me, that seems a great deal
of money. Why, do you know that
there are many curates in my diocese
who are working all the year round
for less than that?
IL dare say there are, my Lord,
but regard myself as in the position
OF bishop in my profession" There
was nothing more to be said

FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY.

The sobriquet Father of His
Country" was first applied to
Marius, the Roman officer who, B.
c. 102 and 101, won signal victories
over the northern barbarians.
Marius declined the honor, but the
name was afterward given to Cicero,
then to several more or less worthy
Roman emperors, and finally to
Washington, who, by his enemies,
was also termed the "Stepfather of
His Country"

OLD AGE.

Written for the CALIFORNIAN
DO you think old age n grievance
And approach u with despair
Dread 10 think Of faulty eyesight,.
Weakened voice, and silver hair
True. It takes away our vision.
Leaves us here TO blindly plod,
But tits only TO prepare II
For the radiancy Of God.
Earthly voice would be discordant,
With the angels song above,
So old age takes and tunes 1t
For that mighty song of love.
And TO match the snowy raiment
Ofthose who'ye crossed the sea,
Old age whitens golden tresses,
Then TO hcav'n gives us the key.

PATENTED ACTUAL BUSINESS FROM THE START


The course in this school is eminently
practical and is devoid of non.essentials.
No memorizing of dry rules; no copying of
obsolete accounts. Immediately on entering
school each pupil is furnished with sufficient
amount of capital and engages in business
for himself, according to carefully prepared
instructions. If he is shrewd, he increases
his capital; if careless he loses. In this
school pupil learns not only to make en-
tries in books, but all about the use of notes
drafts checks, due-bills, orders. receipts, etc
This knowledge he obtains; not merely by
reading about the papers, but by actually
giving and receiving them in transacting his
business the same as a merchant does. BY
this practical method of teaching, person
derives more real benefit from one months
instruction, than from three months OF the
old way. This method is unequalled for
waking pupils up, teaching them to use
their brains, and developing their Judgment
This course is suited to either ladies or
gentlemen. Careful individual instruction;
no one held back for others Write Tor cata-
logue.

The Family Dinner.

Not every chatelaine has yet learned
the dietetic value of a light beginning
to the family dinner. Soup, hot fish or
oysters are real necessity, not merely
concession to ceremonious service. A
learned doctor, quoted in an exchange
pleads for a light first course to be
taken slowly. A person, he says,
comes to dinner weary and hungry, and
needs, first, something to stimulate the
secretions Of the stomach. Then the
joint or roast can be taken with benefit
to the system, and game, vegetables and
sweets follow in their order, not neces-
sarily in courses for the plain family
dinner. 1t is possible nowadays to
make palatable soups with little trouble
and at so trifling cost that even the
smallest establishment need not miss
this wholesome tonic and digestive
stimulant.

Black BroadclOth.

Among the new suits are those Of
black broadcloth, a faNorite material,
by the way, for tailor costumes this
spring, and one that will be found ex-
travagantly becoming to almost all
women. A perfectly-fitted dress of this
material is next in elegant style and
becomingness to black velvet. A
handsome costume is of black and white
broadcloth; has the body. skirt and tops
Of the sleeves of black; the vest, cuffs
and skirt trimming are of white, the
latter arranged in very pretty and at
tractive fashion. A rose 'ruching of
pinked-out broadcloth trims the hem.
This ruching is made of one strip of
each color, the white being placed next
to the dress, the black on the outside
and partly concealing the white. rhe
vest is closed with fine-cut jet buttons,
although crochet and satin buttons are
popular.

Fashion Notes.

The skirt and blazer will be quite as
popular as 1t was last year. In accord
ance with suggestion, dress skirts are
In the market, and may be had in serge,
oheviot, camePs-hair and various wool
fabrics. This is in response to a most
imperative demand, and will be found
very great convenience for ladies who
have heretofore been obliged to make
their own skirts. Some of them are ex-
Lremely we'll made, and not specially
expensive; others are as bad as can be,
and cost in proportion. OF course, there
are high-grade skirts in elegant ma
.erials Of all sorts, and for these there
s a steadily increasing call.
Simple house dresses of nuns yelling
Amis cloth, fine cashmere and the vari-
,us lightweight wooden fabrics, with
which the market Is well supplied, are
lmong the absolute necessities for the
vell-dressed woman.
AS IL there were not enough variety
styles and materials, one importer
las sent over dress of pale-blue satin,
With an overdress Of chiffon, and over
his drapery of the thinnest net, en-
,roidered in floss silk
China silks are being made up into
he most exquisite tea gowns They are
trimmed with lace and embroidery and
ibbon, and are among the comforting
IND dainty accessories in which every
woman delights.
Elton jackets are to be worn. One cos
ume is Of black cloth, with Elton Jacket
trimmed with white satin. The lapels.
,allar and facings are of white, and
~hile exceedingly delicate, the effect is
ather pleasing.
Coats and Jackets are shorter than
heretofore, and most Of them are
iouble-breasted, although, as the season
.dvances, the single-breasted garment
will be more popular.
Elbow-sleeves with enormous frills
viii be fashionable for summer dresses.

Crepon grenadine is by all odds the
handsomest and the most expensive
material offered. 1t is deeply crinkled
and creased, yet it is transparent. 1t
comes in solid colors inlaid with satin
and silk stripes, and it is also seen in
changeable mixtures of colors and of
silk and WOOL IT is a material that has
no counterpart in tho off rings of pre-
vious seasons, and becomes a
stock texture for all as is velvet
and satin, the money put into it now
will be sad waste. Just now it adapts
itself to stylish effects charmingly. 1t is
draped over an underskirt of silk or
satin, often following classic lines and
folds, and is weighted heavily with edg-
ing Of jewels and spangles. Summer
outdoor and garden dresses are to be
made low necked. Women had o fight
against that last year but we must now
submit. They may wear ruffled muslin

1t is difficulty to unite the professions

which she wishes to use. Her majesty

lady singing I'm public, but the German
relatives Of the late Prince Victor of
1ohenlohe are averse to his daughter
making a profession for herself Der
sister, Countess Fedora Gleichen, has
made herself considerable reputation as

Dne sister should be allowed this pro-
:ession and another debarred from
making use of her musical talent; but

Costume of Broca de,

A very stylish costume is of brocade
In very large figures, not over two to
the yard. There is a princesse body Of
this brocade and a full-length front Of
accordion-plaited silk muslin. A wide
belt and very full-topped sleeves of the
brocade, with enormous shoulder ruff
fes of embroidered lace and deep lace
frills at the wrists complete this charm
Ing creation.

A Tell Tale Fichu.

Gowns take on the character of their
wearers just as do gloves and shoes,
and are as Indicative of ones disposi-
ton as the bumps on ones Uranium or
the lines Of the face. The facts in the
case have not been brought down to a
science yet, but they are all true. The
swing of the skirt, the lines of the
waist, the angle Of revers after a week 8
wear, are all significant of the char
acter Of the wearer. 1t is easy to dis
tinguish the stylish woman from the
bucolic female by their respective
gowns as they hang in their wardrobes
But there are other qualities that shine
forth in the gown which a close OBJ
server will soon detect. This truth is
seldom more strikingly illustrated than
it was in the case Of the gown shown
above. The first time 1 saw this cos
tune 1t was worn by a dainty, dreamy
maid Of the most innocent type, and it
had the filmy, summary look which
some maids have in common with the
mists and zephyrs of that seductive
season. There was fine lace fichu of
immense proportions, which was draped
around the neck and shoulders and then
hung nearly to the bottom of the dress.
