LIVING BY THE DAY.

One secret of sweet and happy Christ
Ian life is in learning to live by the day.
1t is the long stretches that tire us. We
think of life as IA whole, running on for
years. and it seems to great for US. We
cannot carry this load too until we
are three-score and ten. We can
not fight this battle continually
for half a century. But really,
there are no long stretches. Life
does not come to us in lifetimes; it
comes only a day at a tine Even to-
morrow is never our till It becomes to-
day, and we have nothing whatever to
do with it but pass down to it fair
and good inheritance in today's work
well done and today's life well lived:
1t is a blessed secret, this of living. by
the day. Any one can carry his burden,
however heavy. till nightfall. Any one
can do his work. however hard, for one
day. Any one can live sweetIy, quietly,
patiently, lovingly and purely till the
sun goes down. And this is all that life
ever means to us-juSt one little day.
DO today's duty, fight today's tempta-
ton. and do not weaken and distract
yourself by looking forward to things
YOU cannot see, and could not under
stand If you saw them" God gives us
nights to shut down the curtain of dark
ness on our little days. We cannot see
beyond. Short horizons make life easier,
and give us one of the blessed secrets
Of brave, true, holy living.-J. R. Miller,

SIMPLE LINGERIE.
The True Lady Does Not Wear Loads
of RufIies and Ribbons.

I have had the opportunity of exam
lining a great many imperial and royal
trosseaux, said a woman of unusual
social position lately, and can say that
they are mostly composed of articles
the texture of which is extremely fine
and costly, but absolutely devoid of
any kind of snowy ornamentation-nay
in many cases even Of lace embroidery.
Fine batiste, hemstitched by hand,
with a daintily worked monogram,
surmounted by crown, for day wear,
and equally fine batiste or silk null,
chastely trimmed with Valenciennes
lace, for night robes, peignoirs and
dressing sacques, is the usual fashion
in the bona fide grand monde"
Some time ago the empress of Rus
sia-who is one of the arbiters of FASH
ion in Europe-inaugurate new kind
of lingerie, which created quite
furore. perhaps because, in spite Of its
apparent simplicity, it is exceedingly
expensive. 1t is made of the sheerest
of nettle batiste and is buttonholed
with pure gold thread, which washes
without furnishing. The effect pro-
duced is by no means snowy, and an
untutored eye would not dream what
the cast of such underwear really it.

WORDS oE CHEER.

words of cheer are words Of help.
Words of gloom are words of harm.
There is a bright side and d dark side
to every phase of life and to every noIr
of time. If we speak of the bright side
we bring the brightness into prominence;
if we speak of the dark side we deepen
it's shadows. 1t is in our power TO help
person whom we are with. If we seek
look of health or of hope in the face of
an acquaintance whom we casually meet,
and we tell him SO, ne goes on his way
with new life in his veins. If we see a
look of failing strength and of heaviness
of heart in one to whom we speak, and
we emphasize the fact that he looks
poorly, we give him push downward
as our contribution to the forces which
affect his course. A look or a word can
help or can harm our fellows. 1t is for US
to give cheer or gloom as we pass on our
way in life; and we are responsible for
the results of our Influence accordingly"

Painting is Not in Good Taste Ex-

Painting is Not in Good Taste Ex-
cept Salons.
Ceiling painting. except in public
salons, is decidedly out of place. In
large rooms, such as are used for public
functions, one expects every inch of
the surface, from ceiling to floor, to
show decorations. In these places i'm
possible nymphs and cupids disport
themselves upon clouds equally fmpos-
sible. The region of allegory is en-
tirely above our heads. Even then, the
effects should be light in color gay
and sparkling. The color of the back
ground and the treatment of the figures
must distinctly harmonic with the
wall tints, though in lighter tones, else
it would seem as if the ceiling We're
pressing upon the head-a feeling that
is always awakened by noticeably
heavy ceiling decorations.
In certain rooms, such as dining and
reception rooms and libraries in the
city, and all rooms on the first floor
OF a cottage, uncovered beams produce
a fine effect They should be of hard
wood, and should be divided into panels
and finished with mouldings In hand
some houses an arrangement of panels
in the form of octagOns, squares and
diamonds is much affected. These are
then filed with plain, soft-tinted in
grain paper, each one showing hand
painted pictures, and each differing
from its fellows. Some have sky
effects, with birds and butterflies.
ing glories or other graceful flowers.
These fill the central panels. The
border panels are often filled with rich
flock or embossed paper. Sometimes
the centre of each is worked into high
plastic relief, which is decorated with
gold bronze.
One of the latest devices for a cell
ing in rooms in common use is found
in those thin metallic sheets that may
be fastened over wood or plaster They
are stamped with various repousse
effects and then painted and shaded
to match the wall surface. Proof
against fire and moisture, these ceilings
/ have much merit including that of per
manence and stability
Less expensive and really ornamental
may be a simple plaster ceiling with a
painted surface and harmonious core
or moulding. Sometimes it may be so
shaded from the windows as to repre-
sent the vanishing tones of a sunset,
fading from warm, rich hues to the
dull, deep tints of the eastern sky. A
/ few light clOudlets may fleck the sur
face, with here and there a wandering
bird or butterfly
Across the corner or trailing in
clouds of glory" over the moulding,
may be a spray of roses or morning
/ glories Faint, delicate, shadowy as a
dream, they are suggestions only, not
/ copies of the roses of the real world.
Failing handiwork, either a solid
water tint or solid paper is in far bet
ter taste than the pyrotechnic, metallic
and gilded effects sometimes seen on
ceilings. These are often distinctly vul-
gar They serve to lower the apparent
height of the room and destroy the
individuality of all other species of
ornamentation in furnishings, pictures
or bric-a-brac.-Boston Post.

But these parting. scenes will end,

When shall the way be free?
When Satan shall invite US

From certer to its bounds,
Our weakness shall not matter,

temporary, and have their reactions into
pain. This joy is the peace which is like
a river, the deep-hearted emotion which
is an endless song. This joy knows no

of taste are in bits and moments; but the

And nothing so royal as truth.

BulIet.proot Devices in Plenty.

The invention of bullet-proof shields
is enlarging, and the patent Office will
soon, if it goes on at the present rate,
be compelled to establish special
subdepartment for the exposition OF
devices in this direction. A point is
laid down by q New York engineer,
which is that the outer surface OF
such material should be of soft, yield
ing material. This breaks the blow,
and then the resisting material is apt
to ward off efectually the force OF the
proiectile. If the outer surface is
hard and unyielding, the blow is
sometimes so great as to overpower the
recipient of the shock, and instances
are on record that men on the battle-
field have actually been killed by this
shock. The whole subject is an in
tricate one, and the progress made in
it is not such as to deter the inventor
from thinking out new devices

Made q Farce Of q Tragedy.

Some years ago, famous English
actress, having been disengaged for
some time, had packed her wardrobe
in pepper, to preserve it from moths.
She was suddenly called upon to take
the part of the queen in "Hamlet. !"
Being rather too late for her first
scene, she omitted to shake out her
royal robes, and her dignifed en-
trance had an astonishing effect. The
king, after brave resistance, gave
vent to a mighty sneeze that we'll
nigh made the stage vibrate. All the
royal courtiers and maids of honor
followed suit sympathetically. Ham
let came on with most sublime
tragedy cir, but after q convulsive
movement of his princely features, he
buried them in his sombre robe, while
sneeze after sneeze was all the public
heard from him. Amid the hubbub
on the stage and the shrieks OF de-
light from the audience, the stage
manager, between sneezes, rang down
the curtain.-Argonaut.
