STORY OF DOUGLASS.
AS He Himself Told 1t in an Address to
Colored School.

A dozen years ago Mr.. Douglass
went back to Talbot county, Md,
where he was born slave, to buy
some OF the property which, in the
old days, he was forbidden by law to
own, because nature had colored his
skin brown, and white men had, by
their superior strength, been able to
buy and sell his ancestors. While
there he was invited to address a col
ored school, and this was what he said:
II once knew little colored boy
whose mother and father died when he
was but six years old. He was a slave,
and had no one to care for him. He
slept on dirt floor in howell, and in
cold weather would crawl into meal
bag head foremost, and leave his feet
In the ashes to keep them warm. Often
he would roast an ear of corn and eat
1t to satisfy his hunger, and many
times has he crawled under the barn
or. stable and secured eggs, which he
would roast in the fire and eat.
THAT boy did not wear pants like
you do, but tow linen shirt Schools
were unknown to him, and he learned
to spell from an old Webster's spelling
book and to read and write from
posters on cellar and barn doors, while
boys and men would help him. He
would then preach and SPEAK, and
soon became well known. He became
presidential elector, United States
marshal, United States recorder,
United States diplomat, and accumu-
lated some wealth. He wore broad
cloth and didn't have to divide crumbs
with the dogs under the table. That
boy was Frederick Douglass.
What was possible for me is pos
sible for you. Don't think because
you are colored you can't accomplish
anything. Strive earnestly to add to
your knowledge. So long as you re-
main in ignorance so long will you fail |
to command the respect of your fellow
men,"
Who could add anything to that
which would not spoil it?-Kate Fields

This was great news to Supy-Honey.
and she decided to write and ask her
young mistress to come home and
bring the baby. She had learned to
write little, and after many attempts
she evolved this letter:

This letter reached Mary in her dis
tant home. Despite every effort, she
had heard nothing of her father, and
feared he was dead So even with this
sad news, it was with a lighter heart
she journeyed toward her old home.
Arriving in the neighborhood, she
sent for old Hannah, who gave her the
particulars of her fathers condition,
and together they had many an anxious
discussion as to what was best to be
done.

BIG HATS THIS FALL.

Immense Bows, Flowers and Feathers
Features of the New Millinery.
The hats, bonnets and toques for the
fall are so different from those that
have been worn recently that about
the only resemblance is that they are
large. Immense breadth seems a ne
cessity, and flowers seem to be one of
the important features In addition
to velvet peoples and dahlias and roses
of silk and velvet are gillytlowers and
carnations. All seem to come in exap-
gerated size. This is also the case
with the fancy feathers. Many are
taken from the larger birds, like the
osprey, heron and owl, and are used
fat on the hats
Some of the bonnets have a close
fitting skulI-cap crown with turned
back coronet-shaped piece resembling
the caps worn by the Breton peasants.
One truly gigantic hat has a plated
chenille brim with three large bows
turned downward from the edge to
produce width. 1t is finished with a
large cocks plume, four small birds
and plenty Of steel ornaments. 1t is
an imported hat and considered very
fine; SO that one can see that hats must
be loaded with trimming to be fash
ionable. The felt hats are of good pro-
portion. One exhibited is folded over
SO as to form a double brim over the
face, and above this rises an enormous
osprey feather and four ostrich plumes.
A great deal of royal purple velvet
is to be used this season. A hat of |
this is bordered with fringe of ostrich
feathers and has for trimming very
large outstanding bows of black satin.
The bonnets have strings, but not the
toques, and the strings are often the
only distinction. A killed bonnet is
very becoming, because it nestles down

novelties was of velvet. The crown

MODERN coNvENlENcEs.
Some Handy Improvements In House Fur.
nishbngs. s5

nislbsgs. M
There are some modern conveniences
that are rightly satired by Emerson as
Inconvenience" All this undoubt-
edly is true Of the superfuous station
airy washstand, and in general Of any
superhuous plumbing. The intelli-
gence OF modern ousebuilders reduces
tne amount OF plumbing as far as DOS
sloie. No one who has lived In house
In which there was permanent water
supply and one where the water was
brought from an adjacent brook or
pumped up from cistern that was
dry half the year is likely to condemn
even superiority Of plumbing. 1t is
becoming more and more the rule
rather than the exception to have a
permanent water supply brought
into the house from some noun
tain stream There are few farm
houses so situated that water can not
be brought to the house and connected
with a regular system in the kitchen.
which will supply the family with hot
and cold water, a bathroom and sta
tionary washtubs. There are thou.
sands OF farmhouses already supplied
with water run in pipes from some
cool mountain stream, who never think
OF the possibility of a bathroom, sink
and stationary washtubs. To some
families the cost of these Improve
ments" appears to make them prohibit
tory. Yet it is not the actual cost of
the plain fixtures SO much as the mis-
taken idea OF what they will cost
which keeps SO many families from
enjoying the comparative ease that
such arrangements bring to house :.
work. The Hibernian servant who in
quires If you have tubs" in the house,
and replies with uplifted nose
that she could not come to YES"
when you answer in the negative, ap-
preciates we'll the convenience of those
laundry tubs. There are very few
houses where water has already been
brought to the house where all these
modern conveniences, emitting the SUI
perfuous stationary wash-stand. can
1ot be procured for seventy five to one
lundred dollars. This includes hot
Ind cold water brought to the sink,
aundry tubs and bathroom. The
pipes will be galvanized iron, not lead.
because the former can be put Ia easier
without an expert workman than lead.
The work may be done at this price in
thorough, workmanlike manner.
The slight knowledge necessary to
AXE care OF the simple plumbing of a
'ouse may be readily learned by one of
he family, SO it will not be necessary
o send distance in case Of a break.
n fact. where ordinary fntelli-
ence and care are exercised, and the
lumbing OF house has been fairly
one at first, accidents are rare.
'rozen pipes, stopped drains and the
arious mishaps that overtake house
old plumbing are clearly the result
carelessness in construction or
egligence in the care of the pipes.
In twenty-five years of housekeep-
,g," said a housewife recently, IT
ave never paid out cent for care

Thus it was arranged, and the next
day when Sugy- Honey did not appear
as usual, Col. Henson seemed restless
and finally asked where she was.
81 dun hired her out to nus, y
answered Hannah. II taut she might
es well be maxim er little somethin' Sc
not"
Col Henson said no more, but he
evidently missed the willing hands
and feet and the CHEEKY presence to
which he had been so long accustomed.
AS he sat on the porch that evening, a
silent, disconsolate figure, he heard a
jolly laugh and baby's pretty cooling.
1t proved to be Sugy-Honey and her
new charge.
The baby was lovely little fellow,
just beginning to prattle. When Sugy-
Honey put him down from her lap he
toddled in the most matter-of-fact way
to Col. Henson, put his hands on the
colonePs knees and chatted necessarily
in his pretty, lisping lingo.
The colonel soon commenced to take
a little interest in farm matters; to in
quire of Jake how many of the old
negroes were still on the place; what
crops he planted, and to give some ad-
vice as to their cultivation. Yet it was
plain that his day began when Sugy-
Honey came with the baby and ended
when they left. He still had no idea
who the little one really was, for all
were afraid to tell him.
Thus the summer days passed.
Hannah often reported progress to
Mary, who was cheered by her ia
theirs improvement, and yet depressed.
He had never yet mentioned her name.
Would she ever again see his eyes rest
upon her with the old fondness? She
and her husband and Hannah thought
over all the possible and impossible
ways of bringing about reconcilia-
ton, but none of them could devise a
plan that appeared safe and feasible. |
One day in early autumn Sugy- Honey |
md the baby made their usual pill

Jake assented to this, and after am
pie explanation ii was understood be-
tween the three that Sugy-Honey was
to be valet de chambre to Col. Henson.
She well remembered her young mis-
tress, whom she adored with an affec-
ton the mistress of to-day never
knows. The knowledge that Miss
Mary would want her to stay with
s'marster" touched responsive chord
in her heart She could not do too
much. Each day thereafter found her
in attendance. Sometimes, in an OBJ
trusive corner, she rubbed the knives;
at other times she softly played check
ers on an old shawl; but whatever her
apparent occupation, hands, feet and
eyes were always at his service. If he
happened to be thirsty, she brought
the colonel fresh water; II sleepy, she
beat up the pillow on HIS lounge, and
