The Nannlennic Revival

Twas midnight, and the Emperor Napoleon
paced the council chamber at Malmaison. He
was alone with De Bourienne. Turning sud-
denly upon the private secretary he cried:
"C'est bienl A thousand years from now
I'll have page in history
"More'n dat, yer HONOR responded the
faithful clerk.
''And if beat the Russians 1 shall"
''Haye two pages in history, boss" inter-

OF Napoleonic curios to sell to the Ameri-

And the crafty Talleyrand, who was caves
dropping in the corridor, hastily tiptoed out
and before the morn had organized curio
company of his own and watered the capital

An Ingenious Midower.

A practical man lately became a widower
He was devoted, in his own selfish way, to
his wife, so that her friends were surprised
when they heard that he had sold ali her
wedding gifts principally silver-without
delay. His ingenious excuse was this: II
needed good watch, rs she well knew The
presents were of no use to me. and thought
that if i sold them and used The proceeds to
get a watch it would be like having it come
from her" Certainly curious way OF get
ting around the facts.

Newest Theater Ronnets.

The newest theater bonnets are airy struc-
lures, built upon new plan, that of suggest
ing some flying creature-bird, beetle, or but
terfy. The idea is carried out by putting
several pairs of wings at various angles upon
a fiat crown. The wings are usually artificial
and are made of gauze or mousseline de sole,
spangled with jet or the very fashionable iri-
descent green spangles. and wired TO
keep them in shape. No bows or loops are
permitted with these wings: flowers and
aigrettes may be added if desired, but the
newest, most stylish headgear is adorned only
with large, curying, pointed wings.

An Adaptation of Living Pictures.

What is called 1.-THE Living Album is
much in vogue for small entertainments,
such as church sociables and the like. A
frame is constructed by some local carpenter,
which bears. when covered with crimson
plush, close resemblance TO gigantic closed
photograph album. On the plush the word
album" ia gilded wood is placed. The lid
--as it were-opens and inside is an oval
frame which displays the Living pictures.
A voiuble and amusing female is supposed TO
own it. and she does the explaining who and
what the pictures represent. while pretty
girl turns the leaves, and the company, con-
cealed behind a screening curtain. take their
place each time the album cover shuts. as it
does after each picture. in turn within the
oval opening. The representations may be
varied at will, and the whole makes pretty
and funny evenings entertainment.

Hints About Shoes.

shoes that are too large are quite as bad for
the feet rs those that arc too small. Also

form to that shape. 1t is not necessary to
have ones boots made TO orc er, when they
usually cost an immoderate amount but it is
very necessary, indeed, that they should be
selected with more care than most buyers ex-
pend upon the matter.

Kitchen Holders.

There will be no temptation for the cook to
use her apron for holder, and perhaps drop
a hot dish for want of protection, if there is
a good supply OF holders convenient. Not
only should there be enough for present use.
but some in the pantry drawers for special
needs. They may be easily made in various
ways. Some fold half dozen thicknesses of
cloth into rectangie and bind the edges.
Others make the inside OF any pliable ma
terial, and have the outside OF thick material,
such as cloaking, with every piece coming to
the edge. The holder Is then sewed over and
over all around it. taking coarse quilting
stitches through it and finishing with a loop.

The Arrangement OF Curtains.

Most women tic back their window curtains
about half way down the sash. This allows
very little light to penetrate the room from
without. They are quite rs pretty and far
peasanter in the result If the tying takes
place about oBe-quarter OF the way from the
top. This preserves the screening effect and
still does not keep out all the sunshine.

Nearly the entire morning and after
noon sessions of Yesterdays meeting OF
the Presbyterian Synod of Baltimore al
First Church, We're devoted TO the con-
sideration of synodical sustentatiOn.-
This subject was brought up by the re.
port of the committee on home missions
aud sustehtation through Rev. Samuel
McLanahan, chairman. Every point
suggested in the report and in the recon-
mendations which accompanied it WAS
discussed at length, the discussion COW
ering the whole general plan of susten-
tatiOn.
Synodical sustentation, as il is called,
is really home mission work within the
hounds of the synod. For long term
of years it was the practice to send all
contributions for home mission work ia
the general home mission board in New
York, and then make application TO the
board for the amounts needed in the
work in the synod. -Four years ago the
sustentation plan was adopted in the
Baltimore synod, and by it an attempt
is made to raise the money needed for
the local mission work, SO as to avoid
calling on the home mission board and
putting the whole management of its
missionary work in the hands of the
presbyteries
Among the standing committees APP
pointed was the Rev. J. w. Mcllvain,
of Annapolis, on foreign missions.

ing the mucous membrane, it may de-
velop into catarrh or lodging in the lungs
lead to consumption. Come as it may,
a faithful course of treatment with
