FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Her Graduation Sleeves.


why does the sweet girl graduate
Seem so preoccupied?
Why does she haunt the dressmaker
AS if she were bride?
All day, and half into the night,
Her fancy vision weaves;
She's putting her whole soul into
Her graduation sleeves.
Maybe she has an essay, too,
On some important theme,
Like, s'How to Make Home Happy" or
''Are Things just What They Seem!
But that which, till a troubled sleep
Her active brain relieves,
Absorbs her thoughts is, what she'll have
For graduation sleeves.
OF course, there'H be, to hang them on,
A graduation dress;
But that gets little thought from her,
And other things still less.
That fateful pair of big balloons
Alone her care receives.
Her life just now is centered in
Her graduation sleeves.

Praise Your Wife.

'How do look?'' asked young wife
who stood before her husband dressed to
attend party with him.
He raised his eyes from the paper he
was reading, looked at her critically and
said:
''All right You'll do
Her heart sunk and her lips quivered,
but he did not know it. She was con-
scious of looking her best and she want
ed q word of praise or admiration from
her husband and she failed to receive it.
Why was he so grudging of his praise?

ion, as she invariably does, and he will
tell you that she always looks we'll
dressed in good taste and above criticism.
But why doesn't he say that to her, or
rather why does he not make a little
lover-like speech for such an occasion?
Even the courteous remarks he would
bestow on the costume of an ordinary
acquaintance are withheld from his own
wife.
There was husband-he is dead now
who used to say to his wife, My dear,
you are looking charming this evening"
or, Il love you best in that blue dress
of yours" He was a poor stick of a
man in the way of worldly success, but
his widow canonized him for just those
loving tributes, given to her with low

The craze Gone to Sea .

The bicycle craze has at last gone to
sea and will soon have steamship of its
own. Maitland Kersey of the White
Star line said yesterday that on the next
vessel built by his company there would
be bicycle path on the main deck, eight
laps to the mile. Purses and sweepstakes
will be held out as inducements, and it is
expected that few thousand cranks will
take the trip to Europe for the purpose
of witnessing the races.-New York

behavior in great degree sets the tone for
the whole establishment How it does
simplify matters when there are Armies"
and ''Kates" and Mays among the
maids, as well as among the members
of a family, to call such maids by their
last names if these are vocable. In Eng
land this is considered a mark of in
creased dignity or promotion, and it
should be so thought here. Burnet is bet

Servants Names.

John? BY no means whatever! You
will be called by your first name. Why?
Because the office of butler is one of
great responsibility and dignity, and
when you graduated from the position of
second man up to the higher place of
butler your worth was recognized by a
more formal mode of address than your
plain cognomen of John. On you rests
along with the cook-the weight Of the
household. On you it depends that all
guests are received at the door with
promptness, with courtesy and careful at
tention. On you depends the beauty and
attractiveness of the serving Of the food,
which is quite as important as the cook
ing of it. You are in large measure re-
sponsible for the success or failure of
all the hospitality of this home, and your

Lafayette's Grave.

"While in Paris short while ago."
said a traveller recently, lit occurred to
me that it was a fitting act to make a
pilgrimage to the tomb of that illustrious
Frenchman, dear to the hearts of all
American patriots, Marquis de Lafayette.
1 asked a number of people before /
could find any one to enlighten me as to
the spot, but after repeated inquiry ascer-
tanned its location. The grave is situated
in old Paris, within the grounds of a
convent that the ancestors of Lafayette
founded, and where repose the remains
of many of the French nobility. The
first thing that attracted my attention in
connection with the hero's tomb was that
above it foated a silken flag bearing the
stars and stripes.
1T seems that a good many years ago
an American gentleman left in his will a
sum of money to be used for the special
purpose of keeping an American flag for
ever flying above the grave of Lafayette.
1t has been done without intermission
from the day the will went into effect
and whenever, through the wear of the
elements, one flag becomes unserviceable,
a new one straightway takes its place.
Through untold centuries the emblem
of the country which, in its early strug-
giles for liberty, had his benefcent aid,
will wave above his ashes"

In the Lions Gage.

Menagerie lions are treated to strange
and sometimes attractive spectacles now
adays. In Paris the serpentine dance
has been frequently performed in the
cages of the supposed monarch of the
desert, exhibited at fairs. At Tallins, in
the Isere, two BARRIERS and shoemaker
entered a cage of lions yesterday, ac-
companied by the tanner in order to win
a wager. One of the BARRIERS sat down
in a chair, was lathered by his colleague
and shaved by the shoemaker who
welded the razor with the most con-
summate GOODNESS and skill The trio
were enthusiastically acclaimed as they
emerged from the cage and won the
wager.-Paris Letter to London Tele-

Pork Raising.

A pig at it's birth should weigh about
three pounds. AT the end of the first
month the weight should have increased
mil at the tenth month it has attained a
Weight of 300 pounds. That is. if it is
kept that long, but the most profitable
hog is the one marketed when. seven or
eight f months old. The cost of pork is 80
per cent. greater if made in the tenth
month than in the NTH month in the food
consumed. Quick returns and quick prof

The most extraordinary feature in art is
the advance in prices. | well remember
the sensation made during my boyhood
by the sale of an italian picture at auc-
ton for $50. Last week, however, a
picture was sold at auction for $4,000,
and even then the price was not one-half
its estimated value. / refer to the Van
dyke portrait, which was purchased fer a
rich Frenchman and therefore will be
lost to American amateurs. The sale
above referred to was ordered by the
American Art association, and eighty-five
pictures brought SIS, 600 A portrait by
Sir Thomas Lawrence brought $4,000, and
another by Sir Joshua Reynolds reached
the enormous price of 5000. A Corot
and TroyOn each brought $1,000, and
many other pictures reached prices which
a past generation would have considered
fabulous.
l add as another item in art matters
that a meeting was held Monday night
at Sherrys for the purpose of erecting
an institution in Paris for American fe,
male students, in which they may board
and also have places for study. The in
crease in this class is so great that such
a building is really necessary, and no
doubt the scheme will be successful.
Sherry'S is a favOrite resort for the
patrons for deserving women, and an en-
tertainment was recently held there IN
behalf of the Vacation Farm society,
whose purpose is TO give the female work
ers of this city summer outing. Nearly
$1,000 was raised. and the effort will be
renewed Turning again TO art, it may
be said that our great retailers now make
this feature an attraction. Wanamaker
paid $4,000 for Munkacsy's "Christ Be-
fore Plate for his store, and the sue
cessors of A. T. Stewart now display his
statuary. The Bloomingdale dry goods
concern also has an art gallery, and the
custom will eventually become general

Sewing in School.

The following communication is from
well-known teacher whose arguments
possess the weight attached to an init
mate knowledge of school routine:
"Shall sewing become one of the
branches of our public school course?
This is a question that is being agitated
by many besides the members of the
board of education. 1t is not an entirely
new idea, as several of the schools some
years ago devoted one afternoon each
week to teaching sewing. Sewing is a
necessary art, and one upon which every
one in the present state of society is de-
pendent. The systematic teaching of
sewing two hours a week for four years
would be of material benefit to every
girl, and would furnish to many the
means to make a living.
1T may be thought that all girls know
how to sew, but many girls do not even
know how to darn stocking. Some
have been known to seam a large circu-
lar hole in the foot of stocking, as
though it were a rent in a dress. No
wonder that chiropodists flourish. Sew
ing is an art and we'll worth teaching.
If more women knew how to sew, they
might have a better appreciation of the
art, and in consequence there might be
less demand for cheaply made articles
and many of the saddening truths dis
closed by the investigating committee of
the sweat shops of New York might be
avoided. "-Brooklyn Eagle.

Servants Wages.

Servants wages in England are much
less than here The total expenditure
for wages in a family keeping three serv-
ants is shown by the expense account
of certain Englishman to be less than
$270 a year. In other words, the aver
age payment of a servant in an English
middle-class home is less than $3.50 a
locality as they do in any block in this
city, where it is nothing unusual for a
girl in small family to receive $50 a
month, while perhaps in the next house
the girl with more work to do gets only
$12 1t is this lack of system, both in re-
quirements and wages, which causes so
much friction and Notwithstanding

A Brilliant Promise.

She was the pride Of the faculty and the
pet Of the class-a girl who grappled with
Iogarithms only to lay them low, and
whose Latin and Greek was as perfect
as could be desired. All sorts of brilliant
things were expected of her after she left
college. The president said that she had
one Of the finest minds the college had
ever had the privilege of cultivating. The
literature professor prophesied that she
would make shining place for herself
in literature The professor of mathe-
mates shed tears at the thought of her
absence from his class. AS for the girls,
her fellow students, they each and all
regarded her as a sort of George Eliot
and Maria Mitchell rolled into one. And,
in spite of these many fond hopes and
bright predictions, the girl, immediately
after she was graduated, married. Ten
years LATER her class met for a reunion.
The members made it sort of expert
ence meeting. Each arose and told what
had happened during the interval since
they had last met One had won renown
in music, another in philanthropic fields
Another had written her heart out in
verse, and fourth had become success
full teacher. At last it was the turn Of
the girl with mind. Everybody held
her breath as she arose and began: Girls.
T. too, have not been idle. During all
these years have won a name like the
rest of you. | am known in the city
where I dwell as the woman who aver
ages nine cooks a month"

No More Singing.

Twenty years ago in Italy melody was
to be heard all over the country. The la
borer going home to bed through the
vines sung his stornello or his rispetto to
the sleeping fields. The boy who drove
his yoked oxen or COWS in the big square
cart beguiled the way with song, joyous
or amorous. The guitar and the mando-
lin were heard at dusk at every farm,
house door and in the streets of the town
youths went singing and playing until the
moon was high.
There was music all over the land,
along the hedgerows as in the city lanes,
under the poplars and mulberries as be-

DON'T GET RED HEADED"
Is it a Phrase Merely Denoting Hot
Tamner or q Physiological Fact?

Is il Phrase Merely Denoting hot
Temper or a Physiological Fact?
The general supposition is that to
get red headed" is slang for getting
angry. This is based upon the preva-
lent belief that red headed persons are
more excitable and liable to sudden
passion than other peOple-a belief
hardly in hormony with the fact that
the dark haired, dark skinned races OF
southern climes are more highly strung
and violently passionate than the Ialr
haired natives Of the North.
But does not the hair really and &C
