Hints on Summer Dressing.

Growing girls do not need many
dresses at once. A pretty toilette for
best, which may at this season be of
wool crepon or of summer silk, and a
serviceable frock of serge or some other
strong wooden stuff for every day and
roughing occasions, will meet the re-
quirements of ordinary life. A girl
should have besides these, for summer,
one or two dainty ginghams simply
made, a half-dozen shirt waists, four
of linen or percale, and two of silk,
and white gown either of Swiss mus
lin or China silk. A sailor hat for
common use, a wide -brimmed picture
hat for very best, and jaunty little
toque will be enough in the way of
covering for the head, and she will be
wise to have, if she can, several pairs
of shoes. 1t is economy to have dupli-
Gates of ones shoes and boots, as these
last much longer when frequently
changed and relieved. For tramping
about the roads and hills one needs, as
also for the city promenade, an alb
solutely comfortable walking boot,
with broad soles, low heels and shape
that fits the foot to perfection. Too
loose shoe is as disagreeable and as
bad for the foot of it's wearer as one
which is too tight. A dress boot may
be of cloth and patent-leather or of soft
kid. Let me insist, girls, on your
keeping your boots in order, SO far as
the buttons are concerned. Nothing
gives one such a careless appearance as
a boot from which buttons have fallen.

Poor woodcock-Poor soul,

Some years ago a woodcock, tired and
weary with his long journey, fell ex-
hausted down from midair right into
the middle of London. Nearly all birds
migrate at night, SO it was dark, as,
half stunned, he found himself lying in
Albemarle street. A woodcock' 8 first i'm
pulse is always to hide himself, to steal
under something, to crouch down. In
nature wild he would choose some
braoken or some low shrub Holly he
particularly loves, and there he would
nestle down and doze the hours away,
but here, poor bird, in rural Piccadilly,
he could find none Of these, and SO he
finally nestled up to lamppost, and,
stunned and stupefied, he fell asleep
and was SO found by the early milkman
on the next day.-Critio.

CEYLoN TEA INDUSTRY.
Everything in Connection With the
Work Is scrupulously Clean.

in Connection with the
Work Is scrupulously Clean.
Some idea of the extent of the Ceylon
tea industry may be gathered when it
is remembered that to produce last
years crop of reported tea no less than
$40, 900, 900 of pounds Of green leaves
were gathered from the plants and con-
veyed, for the most part on the backs
of the pickers, to the factories for
manufacture. Last year there were
about 30;5OO acres of land in the ISL
and planted with the tea shrub, and
there is every prospect of this acreage
being doubled within another ten
years.
The rise of this new industry has
had the most beneficial effect on the
native population of the districts to
which as yet it is confined. Go where
one may in the tea country there is a
general air of prosperity, which ex-
tends both to places and people. As a
rule the planters bungalows are mod
els of neatness and of that luxurious
comfort which nowhere seems to be
better understood than here. And even
among the natives of the district the
pervading influence of prosperity is
very apparent. Of course the wages
earned are small-absurdly small from
our point of view-averaging certainly
not more than the equivalent of five
cents day, yet this as it is regular,
and as it allows of a considerable pro-
portion of each family becoming wage
earners, it is to their class competency.
There seems also to be what might al
most be called a moral side to the tea
business, which distinguishes it from
most other kidns of labor in the fields.
From first to last the tea business is
scrupulously clean. The girls and
men, yes, even the old women, in the
tea fields are clean both in person and
clothing to degree not elsewhere to
be met with among native races en-
gagged in outdoor labor. The baskets
into which leaves are put when pulled
are also scrupulously clean, and when
they arrive at the factory they are
handed over to operatives who are
even ostentatiously clean in appear
ance. The dark skins of the men in
the whitening, weighing, and packing
rooms are not more glossy in their
cleanliness than are those of the girls
in the sorting department; and their
clothing, if somewhat scanty, is at any
rate model of purity. ALI this is, of
course, matter of commercial policy,
but it is none the less a matter which
enters, and will more and more enter,
into the advancing civilization of the
people employed in one or other por-
tion of the work. Weekly.

A Bit of Royal Fun.

According to story which is going
the round of the French press, the queen
of Italy on New Years eve had seri-
GUS conversation with her consort as to
the critical state of affairs. ''If things
go on as they have been doing of late, :"
she is said to have exclaimed, 1--WE shall
soon arrive at revolution and then at
republic. King Hum bert did his
best to laugh away her gloomy appre-
tensions, and next morning on present
ing himself to wish her majesty a hap
py New Year handed her his accustomed
gift in dainty casket on which was
fastened label thus inscribed: "To the
Citizeness Margaret of Savoy, from the
Citizen Humbert of Savoy" The
queen, SO the story goes, was much de-
lighted at this bit of playful and affec-
tionate raillery, which had the effect
of restoring her to her wonted good
spirits.

A Chinese Lottery Den.

Entering a Chinese lottery den, one
sees on the walls large representation
of a lottery ticket beautifully engrossed,
and also large slips of paper, each slip
containing one of the 80 lottery charac-
ters. When the drawing is to take
place, these slips are taken down, rolled
into pellets SO as to conceal the writing
and then thrown into pan. They are
there well mixed up and again taken
out and placed in four wooden bowls
marked 1, 2, 8, 4, 90 of these charac-
ters being distributed equally among
the four bowls.
One of these four bowls contains the
winning characters of the drawing.
Which is 1t to be? Again four pieces
of paper, each printed with a number,
1, 2, or 4, corresponding with the
numbers marked on the bowl, are rolled
up, thrown. into box and shaken. A
disinterested person, sometimes little
child, is called in to draw out one of
these numbers. For this service he re-
ceives cents for good luck. The paper
bearing the given number is straight
ened out, the number read and the
bowl selected which corresponds with
the number. This, of course, contains
the winning go characters, and all the
other 60 characters in the three other
bowls are destroyed. The bowl chosen
Is taken up, and one by one the charac-
ters are unfolded. An assistant is sta
toned near the large lottery ticket hang
ing up, and as each character in the
bowl is read off the corresponding char
acter on the wall is marked. As soon
as the 90 lucky characters are called
out they are pasted on piece of paper
and hung up where every one can see
the drawing for that day.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

A Family Receives . Large Sum OF Money
and . Fine Watch From an Unknown.
Some mysterious person is playing
the role Of Santa Claus for a family at
Mishicott, Wis. The gifts take the form
of large sums of money, as much as
$14,00 having been received at one
time, and watches, jewelry and other
costly articles. In the early part of
October of last year stranger appeared
in the village and inquired regarding
the Hallberg family residing there,
claiming to be Mr.. Harris and to rep
resent a brother of the Hallbergs who
had left his home about 80 years ago to
seek his fortune in California, and Of
whom the family had never since heard.
Before leaving the stranger promised to
write soon and send good news. He was
looked upon with suspicion, and no
faith was placed in his promises.
Several weeks later Jens Hallberg re-
ceiyed letter containing matters relat-
ing to the long lost brother and bits Of
family history only known to the FAM
lily. Inclosed was check for $14, 900,
which was to be equally divided among
the sisters and brothers. giving each
$4,000. The check proved to be good
and was cashed at the Manitowoc Saw
ings bank.
The HalIbergs are respectable people
and rank high in the community. They
are as much mystiied as all those who
have looked into the matter and cannot
account for the strange action of their
brother, in case he is still among the
living. This week the family received
a gold watch studded with diamonds

THE CAMEL.
He L. . Pigheaded, Obstinate, UnsociaSse
and Unmanageable Brute.

ne IL . Hfgneaded, O0st1nates UnSoct0Sse
and Unmanageable Brute.
Camels are not like horses. If horse
does not want to do anything, we make
him. If a camel does not want to do
anything, he leaves it undone. No
amount of coaxing. no amount of cruel
ty, will make him bulge. He has the
determination of mule combined with
the strength Of an elephant. A camel
Is one Of those aggravating brutes which
will drive hot tempered man to distrac-
tion. Nothing will persuade him to lis
ten to reason. He will oppose your will
with passive resistance that is abso-
lutely unconquerable.
The only way to treat camel is to
humor if you cannot humbug him.
They will often lie down if you load
them with the proverbial last straw,
and you might beat them to death or
offer up all the pleasures of paradise be-
fore they would get up. They are pig
headed beasts. Sometimes when they
have quite light load they turn nasty
and throw themselves to the ground.
But although they are obstinate they
are not cute, and an Arab, by pretend
ing to submit, can generally get the
better Of the stubborn beasts. The driv-
ers will ostentatiously remove three or
four packages from the load, and the
animal, with an inward chuckle of
satisfaction, rises at once without per-
ceiving that the parcels have meanwhile
been returned to their former place. As
he fiatters himself he has shirked some
Of his duty he swings away with light
heart, grati6ed beyond measure, like
spoiled child, at having his own way.
The camel is an unsociable beast. He
is also habitually dull, except when he is
shifting the salt air of the desert. When
he is treading the sands, with the burn
ing sun on his back and the boundless
waste before him, he feels himself at
home. The immense heat makes him
bubble over with pleasure and fills his
frame with sublime intoxication. 1t
has been stated on the best authority
that he can go nine days without wa
ter. And if you had ever seen camel
drink when he does get chance Of
quenching his thirst you would not be
surprised at this. They have been
known to put away ~ gallons at a
time.-Ashton Reporter.
