A rather amusing story is told on a

Of wealthy and indulgent parents, she
had never known care until she az
sumed the responsibility Of housekeep-
ing at the time Of her marriage a few
Years ago. She is now . mother. Her
} younger sister was seen recently ina
street car with q child in her arms.
Whose baby is THAR" inquired q
friend, who was rather sstonished to
see the young lady taking care of a
child.
"0h, it is sisters, she replied! "She
was out at the house last night and
when she left for home forgot the baby.
I am taking it to her now."
"But how did she forget her babyH''
inquired the surprised friend.
"She knew she was forgetting some
thing when she lett, but could not
think what it was"

An Angelic Husband.

There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who in public are as smil-
ling as the morn;
There are husbands who are healthy,
There are husbands who are wealthy, h.
But the real angelic husband, wsll-he S never
yet been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
WHO are really so devoted
That Wheueer their wives are absent they are
lonesome and forlorn;
And now and then you'll find one,
Who's fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real angelic husband-oh, he's never YET
been BORN.
SO the woman who is mated
To man who is rated
AS "pretty fair should cherish him for evei
and day,
For the real angelic creature
Perfect quite. in every feature
He has never been discovered, and he won't be
so they say. II. B. Aldrieh.

FANCIES FOR THE FAIR.
Some of the Fashionable Novelties in
Vogue in February

In Paris women are wearing long
black velvet strip that has the effect Of
the clergyman's stole.
White broadcloth embroidered in
gold are newest piano covers. They
are sufficiently elegant to cause talk.
Lorgnettes have become common
and, therefore, are being abandoned
by the society women who introduced
them.
Fayette silk is quite the ideal mate
rial for tea gowns and evening dresses
1t is kept by the leading dry goods
houses and comes in all the desirable
shades.
Knickerbocker yellow is the prevail
ing color in lamp shades. The effect
upon room and company is soft.
Among the remarkable and elegant
stock collars those which are in full
are exciting just now the most atten'
ton, and show beauty Of shape
which is surprising in view OF the fac
that fur has always seemed clumsy
and somewhat unmanageable article
which it is difficult to manipulate &c
as to obtain result having graceful
ness.
Yellow lace is specially manufac
tured for trimming the big yellow
lamp shades that are now 80 fashion
able.
Another spring and summer Of shir
waists is already guaranteed.
What are known as throat necklace
are more and more in vogue in con
nection with low-cut evening bodices
For finishing the bottom OF a wais
soft bone is unequaled and does ava.
with the use of a canvas. AS a stiff
ening, skirt bone is the best tninl
possible and gives the flare now so de
sirable.

The Daily Nap is Very Necessary Aid
in the Preservation Of Beauty.

American women might learn an
advantageous lesson of their French
sisters in the art OF keeping young.
But it is no receipt for cosmetics that
they would acquire. First OF all,
French danes do not worry, or, ii they
do, they conceal the fact admirably.
They are apparently on the crest oil
the wave OF good fortune perpetually.
Next and most equally important, they
decline to hurry. They take life mod
erately, perform their duties without
haste and linger over their pleasures
And in these two simple rules lies q
mine Of wealth for her who is wise
enough to appreciate it.
The daily nap is valuable auxiliary
to preserving youth. And, speaking
OF rest, Mrs. Alma Calder johnson de
plores the fact that the little flap o.
flesh once wont to cover our ear orr
fees at will is no longer in working
order. at was at one time, you know
she says, Gust like our eyelids, anC
could thus shut out sound as readily al
the former could shut out sight. Now
however, we must resort to artificial
means to rest our tired tympanums
1 often think what blessed privilege
it would be to be able to stop up ou
ears whenever we wanted. There il
nothing that rests me like closing m!
eyes, and l make practlce of Away
doing so in street cars and like places
Thus, / gain odd minutes OF repose

EDITOR HERALD kindly allow MS splce

local contemporaries; also allow us to relute
the statements contained therein The con

rarely sec good operator in tins section As
soon as one Of them knows that he can hold
his own in his business he goes elsewhere
and of course, draws bigger money. We
don't blame him"
The above attack is wholly uncalled for,
and the article is a mean insult to the ,ele-
graphers of this region. In the first place,
three of the telegaphers in the contest re-
ferred to had an average of over 70 per cent,
one reaching s5 and another going as high as
90, aud in a spirit of fairness these achieve
monts should not be overlooked.

can anyone find room to abuse the conles-
tants? 1t should be remembered that 100 per

Allow us also to call attention to the fact
that the speediest message ever sent over a
telegraph wire was that sent by the late p
A. Doyle of Tuscorora and his record was at
the rate of 26O words in 5 minutes This
achievement has been equalled, but never

because of the superb singing of its mem

Pntriolism and Penslons.


WASHINGTON, Oct 3O,-Commissioncr
William l.. Lochren, of the pension Office,
IN his his annual report, under the head
'Patriotism and Pensions says: "Those
men who enlisted early and fought the
battles of the war were not moved by
mercenary considerations, and unless
actually disabled did not show the haste
in applying for pensions manifested by
those who enlisted near the close of the
war for large bounties, and did litto
actual service and who are now the
noisie5t in clamoring for more pensions
As compared with this latter class the real
soldiers of the war have been modest in
pretorring claims for pensions" The re-
port shows that the number of pensioners
June 30,lS9i, was 969,5l4; new pensioners
added during the year, 49, 1855; dropped
pensioners restored, 4,2O6; deaths during
the year. 29,Sl6; dropped for other causes,
