able to spout in frothy way which
carried his hearers along, if it never
convinced or defeated an opponent.
To this kind of clever boy there are
always two or three dangers. One is
that he should be led on to think more
and more of froth and less OF fact; an
other, that he should grow conceited
over his eloquence and neglect his bust
ness. 4 third temptation which pecul-
iarly besets this kind is that he should
take to drink. Oratory is thirsty work,
and places where young men crate are
often in immediate proximity to bars.
AS yet, however. Charley was only 30.
He was still at the first stage of every
thing-oratory, business and love, and
he was still at the stage when every
thing appears possible--the total aboli-
ton of injustice. privilege, class. capt.
tai, power, oppression, greed, sweating,
poverty, suffering-by the simple proc
ess of tinkering the constitution.

as above indicated. Well, it is very
good that young men should have such
dreams and see such visions. never
heard of any girl being thus carried out
Of herself. The thing belongs exclusive
ly to male man in youth, and it is very
good for him. When he is older, he will
understand that over and above the law
and the constitution there is something
else more important still-namely,
that every individual man should be
honest, temperate and Industrious In
brief, he viii understand the force of
the admonition, Be good. my child.

bought already traced on canvas. There
are plenty to be had that are entirely
suitable, although prepared for other
kinds of needlework. Then, again, no
new stitches have to be learned One
works on the old lines with this differ

foundation. This new factor in the work
produces a marvellous change i'll the ap-
pearance of the finished piece. 1t par
takes entirely of the nature of embroid-
cry. Included among number Of pleas
ing designs, furnished by The Ladies
Home Journal not long since, was one
for a curtain border. This is worked on
coarse scrirn, with cream colored knit
ting cotton. 1t has somewhat the effect
of darned work and forms beautiful
border for a curtain. 1t can be made
lighter by emitting some Of the forms
on the solid edge. The diamonds, for
instance, could be indicated by leaving
the scrim plain, and the inside straight
rows on either side could be left out.
This would lessen the work considera-
blywithout detracting from the pattern.
A rattle with bone ring attached is,
as every mother knows, great boon for
teething babies, for it not only relieves
their aching gums, but amuses as well.
The authority quoted suggests a pleasing
manner of making rattle, by which
dangling flower incased bells, hanging
on flexible stems, tinkle of themselves
with the slightest movement while the
ring is in the mouth. The materials re-
quired are bone ring = inches in

Women nealth Insprctor..

There should be women inspectors in
thehealth department. They can arouse
an amount of indignation over a filthy
alley which no man would have the
courage to stir up, and ! predict that
when all the Inspectors are women this
town VIII be the cleanest and healthiest
in this country.
Not long since the mayor Of Chicago
appointed woman as sanitary in
spector, and the funny newspapers of
that town Immediately printed pictures
of garbage boxes with bows Of ribbons
knotted on the corners.
But that's alright Better have bows
of ribbons than punches Of bags and
worms that mean the spread Of disease.
Better have trife of aestheticism than
the careleSsness and negligence which
characterize the present service in this
town
A smart young man in buggy has
twice visited my alley during the past
six weeks. He has carefully unfolded a
long memorandum book and made en-
tries enough to start a new town. But
that was the last of it. The alley is Just
rs filthy as ever. and We're it not for an
extraordinarily courteous garbage col

Those who see boys and girls jolly
ing, as they now call it, treating each
other with perfect frankness and scant
regard to courtesy on either side--par-
ents who deplore the growing rudeness
will be delighted to hear that an Eng
lish educator Of reputation proposes to
introduce into the education Of young
women and girls the principles Of chiy-
airy toward TIE male sex. He maintains
that this has been entirely neglected in
the teaching of girls, and while boys
have been taught to pay due difference
to women, the girls have not been taught
that they owed any consideration to any
one--either Of their own or the opposite
sex, The result has been selfish and in
consideTate women, who accept all chiv-
alrous attentions from men as a right,
without thought that they owe even
the courtesy Of thank you i'll return
1t is a good time to begin such teach
ing when women are entering upon a
wider sphere Of work with u greater rec
ognition of rights the same as those Of
men. 1t would be loss rather than a
gain of these new rights should be as
sumed in such way as to knock down
the old ideas of chivalry among men,
and the best way to maintain these will
be to teach the new woman the same
chivalry toward men as used to be taught
boys toward women. - Philadelphia

the remainder of the wool and cut it
into strands measuring half a yard in
length, pass them through the ring and
plait in three plait tightly for about
21a inches Then divide each third into
three and plat them for another 81
inches. Fasten the small piaits, one
into the topof each flower, and affix the
bells to them.
A capital way to use up odd pieces Of
wool of all colors and lengths is TO knit
them up into a sufficient length for a
pair of reins. Just plain, close knitting
should be employed, the bands being
made about one inch and quarter wide
When the length for the driving reins is
finished, the width of the chest should
be measured and another band fixed on
either side, made long enough to slip
over the head, allowing the reins to pass
under the arms. Across the chest dou-
bic row of bells should be sewed on at
intervals.
