Embarrassingly Ambiguous.

"There was quite fight in front Of
the store to-day" said Rockland man
at the supper table. 1.-Two men got
into row, one struck the other and then
the crowd gathered. The man who was
struck ran, grabbed a cart stake and
rushed back, his eyes blazing. thought
sure he'd knock the other mans brains
out, and stepped right in between
them" The young heir had given over
eating his tart as the narrative pro-
ceeded, and his eyes leaned right out
of his head. He was proud of his
fathers valor, and he cried: ''He
couldn't knock any brains out of you,
could he, father?' The old man looked
long and curiously at the heir, but the
lads countenance was frank and inno-
cent and open. When it closed with
the tart on the inside the father gasped
slightly and resumed his supper

The meals on board a sailing ship are
perhaps .monotonous enough to justify
the chronic grumbling of sailors. Mon
days dinners are all alike; Tuesdays
and Wednesdays can be foretold, and
SO on through the list. And the sail
ors, having little to think Of in smooth
weather, eat--and grumble. AS to the
latter habit, good story is told.
Once upon a time there lived q skip
per whose wife told him that If she
went to sea, the poor sailors for whom
she cooked would never find fault with
their food; so her husband took her
with him on his next voyage.
Now this good woman attended, to
the cooking herself, and the scouse was
thick with fresh vegetables, the bread
was white and destitute of weevils, the
meat was good and the duff almost
half plums; but still the men growled.
Then the shippers wife bethought her
of the hens she had brought, to lay
eggs for her husband, and she killed
and roasted them, and sent them for
ward to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
cat last" said she in triumph, "the
men will know how seriously we con-
slider their comfort"
At eight bell, she stole forward to
the fore scuttle to listen to the praises
Of her skill and, as she listened, she
looked down the hatch in time to see q

To RenOyate a Couch.

Old couches that it would not be
profitable to pay the upholsterer to re-
cover can often be rejuvenated at
home, if over them there is put fresh
cover of chintz, sateen, corduroy or
mohair furniture plush. If the sofa or
couch has back, which it is difficult
to manage on the new plan, take it eff.
Make the new cover wide enough to
nearly touch the floor at the foot and
across the front, and long enough to
press deep into the crease between the
seat and the raised head, if it has one.
Put frill around it or not as you like
best. Long hat pins are convenience
in holding the covers in place. Up
holsterers, when draping on a cover,
gather up large rosette on it at each
corner of the foot, and tie it in place
with linen thread, fattening it and
shaping with few stitches if neces-
sary. The pillows added, if pretty.

She Sailed Like witch and Engaged In
$3.50 More Trades Than One. Ai'.'r +.
A young Swede came to this country
in 1851 with some money and the in
tention of building a craft to be fitted
up for passengers to the worlds fair in
London. For this purpose he located
himself at Portsmouth, contracted
with ship builders who had ship yards
at Eliot, just opposite Portsmouth, for
ship of about Thousand tons, with
extensive cabin arrangements for pas
sengers. The model of ship was that
of an extreme clipper. When nearly
completed the protector fell short of
money. Masts, spars and sails had all
been contracted for, and were in a
state of forwardness. The mechanics
concluded to complete the ship, and
put her in the hands of Gov. Goodwin,
of Portsmouth, for sale, each contrac-
tor to take his pro rata of his contract.
When completed, the ship, under me-
chanics' lien. was transferred to the
governor, brought to Boston, pur-
chased by Sampson & Tappan, named
the Nightingale, and under the com.
mand of a Captain 'Dumaresqe sailed
for Australia with u cargo valued at
SIPS, 0OO From there she proceeded to
China, where she took the highest
freight of the season, e5 per ton for
London. To test her merits, Messrs.
Sampson & Tappan, published in the
London Times challenge to the Brit
ish merchant feet to race from the
Downs to China and back for f40, 900, a
distance of nearly 10000 miles. But
no one could be found to accept the
challenge. She was afterwards sold to
Salem house, who sent her to Rio
Janeiro, where she was sold and sent
to the coast Of Africa as SLAYER, was
captured by a United States cruiser,
the slaves liberated and the vessel sent
home. She was subsequently used by
the government during the war, and,
after the close of the war, was sold
and put in the California. trade. The

ON SMALL MEANS.
How to Dress Well With But Little
Money.

Money.
When there is very little money to
be spent on clothes it must be spent
judiciously and carefully, and 1t il
quite a vexed question as to whether
it pays to make over old gowns The
necessary trimming to make them look
fresh and smart is Q serious item, and
more time is often required to make
over a gown than TO have new one
made.
Two entirely new gowns in the vim
ter and four in the summer, well fitted
and we'll hung, and, above all, well
sewed, will, with old ones rcmodeled
in the house, give a woman wardrobe
sufficient for ordinary use. There are
plenty Of cheap dressmakers in New
York who can fit very we'll who have
quite knack at hanging skirts. From
ten to fifteen dollars is their charge for
making gown, and some can even
make one for eight. These dressmak-
ers do not live in convenient localities,
as may readily be imagined, for If they
did they could never afford to make
gowns at such reasonable rates. Five
dollars for Innings goes a long way to-
ward getting all that is necessary, but
this part must not be intrusted to the
dressmaker, who certainly can not af-
ford to have her apprentices take the
time and car fare necessary to buy
these things without adding some
small commission to the original price
of the goods. iisY fiai zsif
A smart Jacket and hat, both for
summer and winter, are absolutely
necessary in every woman's outfit.
Coats and jackets are beyond the skill
OF dressmakers; they had better be
bought in any of the shops where twice
a year there are also sales, at very much
reduced prices, of extremely we'll
cut garments. For eight and ten dol
lars jackets of very stylish cut can be
found, but these must be altered to fit.
If woman has any taste at millinery
she can trim her own hats for far less
money than she can buy them ready
made, but it is very good investment
to pay eight or ten dollars, spring and
fall, for one stunning hat, which must
be becoming; and in this connection tits
as we'll to remember that hat which
is becoming to the full face is often
terribly trying to the profile, and just.
as much care must be taken for the
side as the front view. Picturesque
effects are much to be avoided by the
woman who has only small allow
ance for dress. 1t is the women who
spend thousands year who can best
afford to go in for big hats, outre gar
ments, indeed, anything conspicuous
The fashions of picturesque hats and
clothes generally are very fleeting, and
nothing is more depressing than to put
all ones money into some article Of,
raiment so conspicuous that one is
known by it for the months one isl
doomed to wear it.-Harper's Bazar. y

Brooches and Watch Chatelaines to BE Of
New Designs This Season.
"Spring and fall fashions are as we'll
recognized episodes in our trade as
with those who deal in gowns and bon
nets" said a Broadway jeweller who
had been brought to discuss modish
jewelry of the very near future, and to
reveal from his strong box tiny tissue

sand dollars worth of precious freight.
''Twice every year." he went on, I'VE
try to rejuvenate certain patterns and
revive or reintroduee some forgotten
stone. In the spring and autumn women
whose weddings or anniversaries fall
in those seasons, and whose pocket
books are sure then to be at the high
tide of fulness, bring us our paying
them. This time we are working on
new designs for brooches and watch
chatelaines, for the brooch has wholly
superseded the stick pin. Every six
months capricious femininity wishes
to carry her watch at new angle. All
the ordinary chatelaines will soon be
set aside to make way for the chain
and double pin from which the various
begemmed little timekeepers will
hang. The chain is of gold or silver,
and, about four inches long. At either
end is stout decorative pin that holds
with strong clasps, and, when caught
on the shoulder of gown, carry the

them. The pattern for these pins con-
sists of twin gold eagles, which have
come to take the place of the long
suffering dragon, while on the watches
themselves we are now enamelling
white swans, bearing pointed coronets
of diamonds on their heads.
Instead of twin hearts the new
brooches are to be small and large jew
elled circles tapping one upon anoth-
er, circles of diamonds and rubies, tur-
quoise and pearls, or water opals ard
sapphires. But our most earnest effort
will be to introduce again to feminine
favor the wearing of beads, than which
there was never prettier fashion.
Pearls, of course, are always worn, but
from Naples are coming strings of big
coral beads, some as richly red as the
sunwarmed side of peach, or family
pink as primroses. The necklaces we
make in FIVE or seven strands are meant
to clasp outside the collar of a silk or
gingham dress. Amber beads are
strung into high close collarettes,
caught up at intervals with narrow
]atches of gold delicately repoussed in
patterns of flowers. In Paris the jew
ellers have combined with the dress
makers to bring green prominently in
to fashion by using beads cut from an
Opaque green stone. These are highly
polished, strung with small gold balls,
and worn as many as twelve strands
in necklace. #,ss@
