A Oueen1y Virtue.

Mrs. Cleveland sets a shining example
in always being on time. She does not
think it quite nice to enter the theater or
church or any place late and disturb ev-
eryone just for the sake of attracting at
tention. Mrs. Cleveland also makes a
toilet in less time than almost any other
woman prominent in Washington She
frequently returns from a long drive ff-
teen minutes before an appointment, and
when the guests arrive she is there to
greet them in pretty house gown and as
fresh as a rose.

wonders of of Birds, Nests.

The swallow family, probably fur
nishes more striking bird architecture
than any other The beautiful, low-cir-
cling, buff-breasted barn-swallow seeks
out as site the rafters Of some dilapi-
dated barn.+eAt the very highest point
he plasters his cup-shaped nest Of moist
clay, rendered. more adhesive by means
of gluten which these birds secrete, and
strengthened sby a judicious mixture of
hay. The hard inside when dry is lined
with soft breast feathers, making a
warm and. cozy couch, sheltered from
every storm.
The cliff swallows are cousins of these
feathered masons and are veritable caye-
jewellers. They find some high bank or
bluff, the face of which has fallen. away
so as to Haye the clay front exposed.

woman's Greatest Charm.

I am quite sure that men regard ''sweet
simplicity" as the greatest charm in
women, and especially in girls. This does
not mean simplicity in the simpering
sense, but an absence of that affected
air of holiness and mannishness which
has lately been assumed by too many
really lovable girls. Then, too, sincerity
in expression is one of the characteristics
that charm men. To be sincere and can
did the girl in society need never be
abrupt nor self-assertive.-E ingalls,
in Ladies' Home Journal.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
The summer Girl Joke.

OF all the jokes the dearest
That hangs on memory's wall,
The old, old joke of the summer girl
1t seemeth the best of all.
The ships have passed in the night time;
Big sleeves are getting passe;
Trilby has gone to the bow-wows.
And boomers have had their day.
We look with longing fondness
At what we spurned last fall,
And the old, old joke of the summer girl
Seemeth the best of all.

The Duke Aosta and Bride.

The arrival of the Duke of Aosta and
his bride, which is announced for July 3,
will make the Roman summer season ex-
traordinarily late, but the King and
Queen will probably make flying visits to
Monza to escape the heat in the interval;
state dinner and night fete in the gar
dens of the Quirinal palace will probably
be the only entertainments offered to the
bridal pair during their first brief visit to
the capital-Letter from Rome in London

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
ListenfnI Bird.

A Listening Bird.
A little bird sat on an apple-tree,
And he was as hoarsesaS hoarse could be;
He preened and heaprlpked, and he ruffied
his throat,
But from it there f1oated no silvery note.
''Not song can sing" sighed he, sighed
he 1T
''Not song can I5gfng," sighed he.
In tremulous showers 3he apple-tree shed
It's pink and white BLOSSOMS on his head;
The gay sun shonerand like Jubilant words,
"All the others can siffg,' he dolefully said,
"All the others can sing" he said.
'etsps.
So he sat and he dropped. But as far and
wide ~
The music was borne on the airs warm tide
sudden thought scame to the sad little
bird,
And he lifted his head as within him it
stirred. -
eff cannot sing, I can listen,'' he cried
"Ho! no! can listen!" he cried.

Price of Ostrichs' Tail Feathers,

The tail feathers of the ostrich are Of
deep old ivory color, and sixty-five of
these have commercial value In late
plucking at the Coronado ostrich farm
nearly 800 feathers were obtained from
one bird, which, when curled and dressed,
will be worth about $50. The female
ostrich lays seventy eggs a year.-San

For Sunburn.

One of the very best ways to treat
severe case of sunburn is to battle the face
constantly for fifteen or twenty minutes
with soft water as hot as it can be borne.
This treatment takes out the redness and
removes the sting, and the skin returns
to it's normal state much sooner than if
left alone. After bathing in this way,
apply pure cold cream that contains
nothing that will irritate the skin.

Clocks have been placed on the outside
of the locomotives on the Paris-Lyons-

are fixed on the side Of the engine, that
is, toward the station platform, for the
benefit of both passengers and station
agents who wish to note the instant ar
rival and departure of the trains.

Frank Moore and Fannie Mapes were

to a nearby village. Farmer Mapes

Resting for Thirty Minutes.

The noon-hour rest for workers is taken
very differently by men and women. The
hod carrier finishes the contents of his
dim 4s pail, then Tolls against a friendly
lights pipe-as often he does not but he
rests in every fiber of his being. A shop
girl hurries over her bread and tea to try
her eyes and tax her interest with a story
paper, eagerly devoured till the last mo-
ment, or she spends her rest time in ex-
is foolish expenditure of needed force.
The closer the strain the greater the
need for the complete and daily respite,
however brief Such workers should pur
sue the opportunity to take it relentlessly.
The business woman whose work must
be done at office or shop must invent her
chames for rest. In shops it must be
taken with the stop for luncheon, as a
rnie; in Offices it may also have to be,
but often there is iull in business caused
by every lady's luncheon hour coming at
or near the same time, that may be al
most regularly depended upon. For the
women whose work is at home the half
hour Immediately preceding or following
luncheon is apt to be one that could be
spent in this way. For the mothers
whose babies are still in arms, the rest
should be taken while their little charges
sleep Says one mother to this: why,
that is my only chance to pick up and
catch up with things Spare the half
hour to rest and the picking up and catch
ing up will be the better forwarded. A
half hour daily Of complete retirement, ",
ing down in loose clothes, and banishine
ali worry, all thought, indeed, if possible,
works wonders if persevered in. Have
the shades drawn and close the eyes. A
tired brain strays restfully in darkened
ways; even mechanical eye-impressions
Of which one does not seem to be think
ing at all consume little force; blind
ness physically and. meHSnlly is what is
sought, and it isathis that rests and res
stores-New York Times.

Jewels of Mary Queen of scots.

When Elizabeth had her hearts desire
when Mary's head had fallen on the
block-a catalogue of her goods was
made at Fotheringay on February ~,
1861. We find little tablet of gold
enameled, containing picture of the
King of Scots" Sir George Clerk of
Peniculk possesses a similar gold case
enameled with very small miniatures of
Mary and her son, James vi. Mini
atures of the French King and Queen
were in a blue enameied book of gold.
"A little bird OF gold enameled green
is probably the parrot which we meet
in an early inventory. There is an en-
ameied boy sometimes called "a Cupid
from happier days, her first husbands
gift, with rubies, diamonds and great
pearl Her first husbands miniature,
in an enameled case, was still with her,
and a gold and pearl marten, also in the
old inventories. A jewel in the form of
a tortoise may be the rubbed tortue, the
gift of David Rizzio. Several trinkets
the Queen bequeathed to Bastian Pagez,
who was married on the night of Darn
ley's Staying. There are altogether
about eighty pieces of jewelry and OBJ
jects of jewelers. art, but of diamonds
only two or three, and these small.
Such were the jetsam of SO many
wrecks-wrecks Of happiness, power,
even Of good name and fame, sorrows
wherein all was lost save courage and
faith.

Healthy English Women.

When an American girl first goes to
London she is a little disappointed in
the appearance of her British sisters.
They seem heavier, slower and less grace
full than her own sex at home. Before
long, however, she notices some other
things which largely change her opinion
These seemingly slow women think moth
ing of walking their eight and ten miles
day, and then manifest no exhaustion,
or even fatigue. An EnglishWoman OF
wealth will work, and work hard, III her
garden, among her fruits and flowers, or
in her greenhouse, where an American
woman leaves it entirely to her gardener.
The hard physical labor may injure the
skin of the forearm and render it less ala
baster-like than what most bellies desire,
but it develops the muscles of the arm,
chest and back, and produces physical
beauty and magnifcence which, common
in England, is very uncommon at home.
The so-called Langtry back, over which
American girls rave, may. be secured by
any healthy woman who ssWill work two
hours a day among her foWerbeds
Still another point which / noticed and
enjoyed on my recent visit to England
was the simple practice of eating when
you are hungry and drinking when you
are dry. Whenever [ called upon fam
lily in the afternoon there was always
tea, coffee, COCOA or chocolate: very often
some light French wine. There, were
always dainty biscuits and waters, ex-
quisite sandwiches and tiny cakes; gen
orally fruits, salads and a half dozen side
dishes. They set an example to our Wom-
en- in those two points-taking exercise in
the open air and sunlight and eating when
the system requires it-instead of making
it wait for certain prescribed hours to
arrive.

Selma, Ark, June 10th, 1895.

One of the greatest, if not the greatest, curses this country has to contend with is the trusts and gambling in futures. In the midst of abundance they will pool together and run bread stuffs and other necessaries ot life up to enormous prices. Every time this is done they make millions of dollars and the millions are practically withdrawn from cir culation as soon as they get into the hands of the spectators and the result IS the country is just so many millions poorer. What we need is a national law that will put an end to such nefarious busi- ness and our people should see to 1t that our representatives in con- gress are pledged to the suppress sion of trusts and gambling in fu- tures.-Rison Bazoo.

A GREAT MAN HONORED.

Nothing has occurred recently that more strikingly Illustrates our civilization as . nation than the case of MT. w. " Fay lor late State treasurer of South Dakota One day NIT. Taylor turned up missing and with him every dollar of the States money MT. Taylor was short in his accounts, and grabbed all available resources of the State and disappeared. He was in no.hurry about to cover up his tracks. He moved lcisurely and as became a man of his dignity and wealth.
 His disappearance caused good deal of excitement among his bondsmen. the officers of the State whom he had left without dol- lar to meet current expenses, and the people generally who knew they would have to foot the bill. His bondsmen and the State of feials held conferences, communicated with Ar. Taylor who was nominally in hiding not very far away. and an arrangement or com- promise was agreed upon.
 1t was that Mr. Taylor should return one half the money he had stolen, the whole amount being S350 ,00o-that his bondsmen should be absoNed from their obligations to the State-that Mir. Taylor should return and plead guily-that he should be sen teneed to two years in the pententiary- that within sixteen months of the time of his surrendering he should be pardoned by the governor so as to restore him to citizenship and that he should retain the other halt of the money, and no questions asked.
 In pursuance of this agreement Mir Fay Tor at once turned up at one of the palstial hotels in Chicago, where he was met in the most friendly and amicable manner by a number of his bondsnen and officers of the nw. He was not put under arrest. The distinguished persons who accompany him on his return, do so as his friends and more as guar of honor than as his custodians. They have the hest accommodations the railroad eaR provide and their return to South Dakota is in everything but name triumphal progress. Thus in this country is virtue rewarded and vice runished-Spring- field Democrat
 If Taylor had been some poor devil and had "seooped" side of bacon to keep his wife and hun. gry children from starving, he would have been dragged back in chains and sent 10 the peritentia- ry for the longest term.
 The American people have be- come so thoroughly infatuated with money that the thing which we call Justice is beginning to be g roaring farce.

By Il change of the vacation at the A. l. U. from winter to sum. mer it is thought poor boys who ale working their way will have q better opportunity to secure em. ployment while out ot school. Many of them arc excellent teach. CTS, and as there are more country schools in summer than winter their chances for making some thing toward paying expenses are improved. The change from wln- ter to summer will no doubt prove satisfactory, although good results have been obtained under the old system. = Democrat.

The motto of the bimetallists IS that the United States eau and should attend to their own busi- ness and regulate their own affairs in the interest of their own people.

' respectful

Clark county is to have another large cotton mill. This is the kind of aa enterprise that paya'its promoters and enhances the value of all property in it's locality. The business men of the South should give their entire patronage to home enterprises of this character whenever 1t is practicable. It is encouragement that draws capital, and the greater the success attain ed by cotton mills huilt in thls section the better the prospect for securing others. If the merchants of Arkansas would give their or ders to mills within tue state and make the demand strong enough to encourage the outlay the capa- city of every mill would be dou- bled and thribbled in twelve  months and new mills would quickly enter the field. No order for cotton goods which can be sup piled in the state at equally req sonable prices should be sent to Eastern mills. Let's build up this industry at home. Cotton can be manufactured cheaper here than at the mills of the East; man. ufacturers can sell cheaper and merchants can make better prices to their customers, while the goods are, If anything, better in quality. -DemOcrdt.
