GIRLS.

Yea, verify, girls are of few days and
full of mischief, and whosoever is de-
ceived thereby is not wise. When the
fair one cheweth gum with much haste,
and stampeth her foot with much vigor,
then beware. She cometh forth in the
evening with low neck and short
sleeves, but in the morning she lieth in
bed while he mother hus5leth. She
eateth all winter of the devoted young
mans oysters, and partaketh with
glee of his sleigh rides, but when the
gentle spring cometh she winketh the
other eye and goeth with the new beau.

A POOR WIDOW.
AUNT LIZZIE.
San Francisco, Cal.

Years ago there was a widow who
owned q few United States bonds.
When there was talk of paying the 5 20
bonds in greenbacks, this poor widow
was paraded before the public. She
was the same whose claims at an earlier
date were presented to the abolition
lists: Left all forlorn, with an estate
encountered by her husbands debts,
with no resources save two or three
farm hands, whom she hired out and
received wages for"
When the Alliance plan of sub-treas
ury loans vas brought up, the widow
aforesaid was living on the interest of
her money, having sold the homestead
and loaned the money received. The
low rate of interest of the alliance plan
threatened to ruin the widows income.
The widow is once more before the
public, for she hasn't died yet. She is
a pensioner now, and in great danger
of being paid off in silver dollars.
She is not only a pensioner, but she
is a school teacher, and likely to re-
ceive her salary in ''cart wheels"
She is also a seamstress, dependent
on steady work and daily wages
which may be paid unfortunately in
silver.
She is likewise a factory girl liable to
get her weekly wages in cheap money,
fit only to pay dry goods and grocery
bills.
And lastly, she is a flower girl Of ten.

Eyes, sir, said Sammy, ''she always
seems glad when I hold up the berries,
and I don't tell her anything about the
briers in my feet"
The man rode on. Sammy's remark
had given him a lesson, and he resolved
that henceforth he would try to hold
up the berries and say nothing about
the briers.

THE REAL ENGLISH LACE.

Even though one hasn't money nor
occasion to Guy and wear real lace, the
making of it is one of the fine arts and
it is a pleasure to know something
about it. The only true English lace
worthy to rank with the Venetian, the
d'Alencon and the Mechlin, is Honi-
ton. It was first made in the seven
teenth century, but was quite neglec-
ted for foreign products by people of
wealth and fashion, until the last half
of the century. Queen Victoria caused
it to become the fashion by wearing a
gown and a veil of it worth Ell, 1000 az
her wedding, the pattern of which lace
was destroyed Immediately after using
Since then the English royal family
has patronized Honiop exclusively. in
order to establish it as the court lace
of Great Britain. Victoria has given
each of the p%rincesses their wedding
laces, each of a different pattern. The
Princess of Wales gown and veil was
of Honiton, embroidered with flowers,
ferns and princess feathers. And six
inch lace of the same pattern trimmed
most deliberately a white wrapper
which she wore several years after her
marriage.

There is no more appetizing break
fast in the world than thin rashers of
sweet bacon fried just enough, and
served with fresh eggs. also fried. To
vary it a little, we sometimes fry it In

an excellent dish. The bacon should
be cooked as for serving plain, drain
off all grease, and put on a hot plate
and set in a warm place. The batter
which should be made while the bacon
is frying, is prepared as follows: Take
half a u of -four, mix it smooth with
q little milk four or five spoonfuls),
beat one egg and add a little salt; let
the fat left in the pan get quite hot, and

And then the tomb!
of such is life
Our every breath,
Is tut a strife
With fends of death.
They lark unseen
In foods we eat,
They play bt tween
Our bread and meat.
Where'er we turn,

In fires that burn,
In pureSt all!
We dwelt in peace,
With one accord,
Our lives a tease
From love, our Lord.
Was it a dream
OF heaven below?
Could cdenS stream
More smoothly flow!
Bolh day and night
And night and day,
With pure delight.
We went our way,
Until Iife's tide

And my young bride

patients can tolerate it for a

SCOTS Emulsion is as much
easier to digest than the plain
oil as milk is easier to digest
than butter. Besides, the fish
