Pretty Girls of Ireland.

"Do you know how very pretty a
pretty Irish girl is?'' asks well known
and enthusiastic writer.
She is tall and slender. Crisp
little black curls lie against her white
neck. Her skin is clear red and white,
and her line black brows and curved
lashes accentuate it.
''And then her eyesl Why should
poets sing of the languorous orbs of
Oriental houris or the violet eyes of
the fair women OF the North when the
Irish girl has them all at one and the
same time? Starry eyes that sparkle
and glow.
"You think they are darkly brown
until some day she turns them upon
you as she stands in the sunlight and q
sapphire is not more blue, and as you
watch her in surprise they are gray
and they are black, and you despair of
telling what color they are, but are
content to watch them assume what
ever shade they will; and then, if the
brogue is not too pronounced, what a
charm it constitutes to unaccustomed
earsP'-Family Story Paper.

SMALL BELONGINGS OF DRESS
The Collar, the Cuff, the Belt and the
Latest in Buckles.

The Collar, the CuR, the Belt and the
Latest in Buckles.
For wear with untrimmed bodices
there are shown large flaring collars
and cuffs of dead white embroidery
trimmed with butter-colored Valenci-
ennes lace. These are pretty, and as
they stand laundering we'll, really
give, in wear, their moneys worth.
A belt and collar of gold braid caught
with cut jet hooks and eyes are in
vogue, and may be worn with any
dark colored or all white bodice. The
collar is formed of gold braid little
over an inch wide, while the belt is
two inches wide and the clasps are Sc
lected to suit the width Of each. Belts
may be of silk, ribbon or leather. Seal
or snake skin belts with silver buckles
are liked for outing or travelling wear,
and very often have bags to match put
upon them, but for elaborate waists a
leather belt is not considered in good
taste.
The regular betting can be gotten in
any color, and is most effective when
its clasp is small gold buckle elabor-
ately carved. Young girls fancy sill
yer buckles, upon which are engraved
their monograms, but these can be
scarcely spoken of as new, though
they are popular. Ladies'

CAUGHT A HUGE SHARK.
Guests at Atlantic Highlands Land On
Eight and Half Feet Long.

Guests at Atlantic Highlands Land One
Eight and a Half Feet Long.
Guests from hotels of Atlantic High
lands went bluefshing early Tuesday
morning and returned with shark Il
feet long.
The sloop yacht Brunhilde, Captain
W. D. Overton in command, was en-
gagged for the day. When about three
miles at sea, the fish began to bite. One
of the party felt something tugging on
the end of his line and gave sudden
pull. AS result he was nearly pulled
overheard. He called for help. The
captain, crew and his companions went
to his aid and helped haul in the line.
When they had brought the monster
to the surface, he was found to be al
MOST exhausted. A rope was fastened
around him, and the fishermen started
for home in triumph, pulling the shark
astern. A landing was made at Curtis
bathing pavilion, and the story of the
unusual capture spread like wildfre
The shark, which was dead by this time,
was dragged ashore.
The fish tipped the scales at 200
pounds and measured 81 feet in length
His mouth is nearly foot in width,
and he has three rows Of sharp triangu-
lar shaped teeth. The fish is on exhibi-
tion. Professor L. Wenger, the local
taxidermist, will stuff and mount the
monster. Cor. Philadelphia Press

A Continuous Rail.

The Cleveland Electric Railway COM
pany is now laying continuous rail
without the breaks that are usually be-
tween lengths The ends Of the rails are
carefully welded together with entire
disregard of expansion and contraction.
A feature of the welding, as explained
by the superintendent, is that it can be
dore only in streets that are paved. The
stone, brick or asphalt holds the rail in
position and covers it so that it is not
subject to heat and cold Experiments
show that under these conditions the
welding can be done without injury to
the track and with great increase Of
comfort to passengers Columbus Dis

A Soldiers Answer.

Emperor Napoleon, after one of his
great battles, gathered the remnant OF
his forces around him, and proceeded
to compliment them in his charaoteris-
tic manner, so endearing to the hearts
of his soldiers. Finally Company D,
of the guards, who had been in the
thick OF the fight, were ordered to pre-
sent themselves, and to the astonish-
ment of the emperor single soldier
appeared. He was bound up in band
ages, and could barely walk.
"Where is the rest of your COM
pany?" asked the emperor.
A tear welled in the old soldiers eye
as he answered, "Your Majesty, they
lie on the field Dead" and then sor-
rowfully added. "they fought better
than 1. I."-Harper's Round Table.

ON CHILD TRAINING
He Claims That It Is Ethical Rather
Than Intellectual.

He Claims That It Is Ethical Rather
Than intellectual.
Child training is, in the first in
stance, ethical rather than intellectual,
writes the Rev. Charles 81. Parkhurst.
D. D., in the August Ladies' Home
journal. No one will ask to have this
point argued who considers that the
child is to be educated for the purpose
of his own personal enhancement and
not for the purpose of making him an
expert or sharper. 1t is great deal
easier to make people bright than it is
to make them sound. Mentality is an
easy art as compared with mortality.
There is a good deal to be said about
Intellectual discipline when we get to
that point; but it is still true that the
issues of life are out of the heart and
not of the brain. The brain can be
taught from books, but morality is not
a thing that can be printed. There
are, it is true, books that are published
on ethics, but few read them and prob
ably nobody practices them. The old
Hebrews were deluged with moral pre-
cepts, some of them written by God s
own hand; but even the first genera
tion that had the Ten Commandments
had to be killed off before the Promised
Land could be entered.
am not going to underrate the
value and Importance of mental school
ing for the children; but it needs to be
said that unless man has a pure and
honest heart, the less he knows the
better it will be for him and for all
concerned. And it needs, also, to be
said that even trustworthiness of intel
lectual action waits on personal sound
ness. Sound brain and unsound mind
are incompatible. Even if our object
were solely to secure the finest and
fullest intellectual development, we
should still aim, first of all, to secure
a foundation of personal integrity for
the scions of wisdom to root and vege-
tate in. 1t is something as it was with
the planting of an astronomical OBJ
servatory; however fine its equipment
and whatever the power of its lenses,
we depend, first of all, upon the solid
ity with which the observatory is
planted

A well-known physician. a student
Of health as well as disease. has called
out indignant denials by printing his
opinion that they do. He has done it
in the most considerate way, remind
ing one of the person who, in calling
another liar, said he did not mean
it opprobriously but merely stated it as
fact. And the denials are made in a
fashion quite too feminine. "It isn't
SO, and besides there is good excuse for
it, our defenders say. Nervous irri-
liability, narrowing and belittling
sphere, the constant presence of OBJ
noxious and vexatious persons-what
wonder that human nature exhibits
unlovely traits under these provoca-
tions? It will do as no harm to look
this accusation fairly in the face and
see whether it be a familiar Of ours,
with new and ugly name. There is no
dictionary at hand, and cannot verify
my definition, but suppose that what
is meant by the word "nagging" is a
constant repetition of petty reproof or
command. 1t is a habit which every
conscientious housekeeper and every
thoughtful mother is very much in
danger of weaving for herself and for
fear Of which many a woman "lets
things CO." to the injury of her home
and her children. How often the tired
mother has picked up" after husband
and children, or done the forgotten er-
rand, rather than seem to be mag
ging.''
It does fall to the lot of women to do
most of the so-called training of child
rem. In many cases it is truly the
blind leading the blind, and the un-
trained training. = August Ladies'
Home Journal.

Mr.. HoWELL's FIRST BOOK
He Did Not Have Much Faith in 1t, But

He Did Not Have Much Faith in 1t, But
1t Had an Instant Success.
Before left Venice I had made my
sketches into book which l sent on to
Messrs. Trubner q Co., in London.
They had consented to look at it to OBJ
lige my friend Conway, who during
his sojourn with US i'll Venice, before
his settlement in London, had been
forced TO listen to some of it. They
answered me in due time that they
would publish an addition OF thou
sand, at half profits, ii l could get
some American house to take $40 copies.
When l stopped in London l had SO
little hope or being able to do this that
I asked the Trubenrs ii might, with
out losing their offer get some other
London house to publish my book.
They said yes, almost joyously; and L
began to take my manuscript about.
At most places they would not look at
me Or it, and they nowhere consented
to read it. The house promptest in re-
fusing to consider it atterward plrated
one OF my novels, and with some ex-
pressions of good intention in that di-
rection, never paid me anything for it;
though believe the English still think
that this sort of behavior was peculiar
to the American publisher in the old
buccaneering times. was glad to go
back to the Trubners with my book,
and on my way across the Atlantic l
met a publisher who finally agreed to
take those 500 copies. This was Mr..
M. M. Hurd, of Hurd & Houghton, a
house then newly established in New
York and Cambridge. We played
ring-toss and Switchboard together, and
became of a friendship which lasts to
this day. But it was not till some
months later, when l saw him in New
York, that he consented to publish my
book. 1 remembered how he said,
with an air of vague misgiving, and
an effect of trying to justify himself in
an Imprudence, that it was not a great
matter anyway. I perceived that he
had no faith in it, and to tell the truth
l had not much myself. But the book
had an instant success, and it has gone
There was just then the interest of a
not wholly generous surprise at Ameri-
can things among the English. Our
success in putting down the great Con-
federate rebellion had caught the fancy
of our cousins, and I think it was to
this mood of theirs that owed largely
the kindness they showed my book.

in all the great London journals, which
l used to carry around with me like
love-letters; and when I tried to show
them to other people, could not un-
derstand their coldness concerning
them.-Harper's Magazine for August.
