broadcloth, with a very smooth surface
Alas for It, when spots Of rain fall
every one viii show as plain as day
Broadcloth ought always to be sponged
before being made up, although 1t does
remove some Of the gloss. This black
gown has widely flaring skirt, cut en-
Paquin, with not vestige Of trimming
to be seen upon it. 1t has a stiff lining
Of soft, violet-colored taffeta, finished
with lot of dust ruffles at the bottom.
The coat is smartly fashioned in the
favorlte short-waisted mode, so becom-
ing to pretty figure. The ripples
show a lining of the violet silk. There
is no center back seam, and the two
side seams are outlined in black silk
cord. finished at the top with twist.
The slashed yoke has an under piece Of
gauffered chiffon in black, both back
and front. An odd double collar Of stiff
black sets up about the face.

A Gamo without Limit.

Two men in a New York uptown
club have been for the past six years
playing a continuous game of domi-
noes. They have no regular time for
playing, and go to the club with no
particular intention Of resuming the
game; but when both happen to he
there with spare time on their hands
they commence at the point where thew
left off. The stake for which they play
is small, but one Of the two is already
far ahead of the other. He is, in, ract.
$1,000 ahead, and, as no limit has been
set for the game, this sum is still sub
iect to the hazards Of the sport, ana
the loser has not lost hope of recoiin'
ing himself. Most Of the playing. IL
done in the late afternoon, and the dt-
version is continued as relief from the
uncertainty of falling into the club and
finding nothing engrossing to do. With
the dominoes at hand and the $1,000
depending upon its outcome, this
casual game is regarded as fulfilling Its
work very successfully.-New York

A story for the Little Folks


One day Donny's mother said to him.
"Your hair Is too long, my boy. You
must 60 to the BARRIERS and have 1t
cut"
Denny was glad for he thought It
would be great fun. He walked into
the BARRIERS store and when his turn
came the barber lifted him into high
chair, In front OF which was a looking
glass.
Now Denny had never had really
good look at himself in a glass before,
30 he was very pleased to see the rehec-
ton Of his own face, and his first In
cllnation was to make funny face at
himself, but the barber looked so cross
that he thought he had better not.
When he went home he ran up to his
mother and said:
"oh, mamma, seed myself in the
glassv
"Well, and what did you think Of
yourself, Donny?"
"Why, think l look just like red
headed monkey" replied the boy and
then. after moments pause, he added:
Mother. dear, l think should like 10
be barber when I'm a big man."
would you, my child, and why"
asked his mother.
"Cause-'cause they have lots OF
fun. There was man lynn down in n
chair, and the barber painted his face
all over with white paint, and then took
knife and scraped 1t Off, and l should
love to do thatW
His mother laughed and told him to
run up into the nursery and play with
his little sister.
Douny found his sister busy with
her dollies, and, after telling her all
about his visit to the BARRIERS, he
said:
"Baby, let's play barber shop"
Gan yite," said baby; for she always
did everything her brother told her to.
So Denny climbed up on chair and
took down from a shelf little can OF
white paint, which his big sister used
In parting frames. Then he took the
dollies, one by one, and covered their
faces with the paint, After that he
looked for something with which to
scrape the paint off and found a small
paper knife on the table. lie scraped
and scraped, but could not get the paint
off, 80 he said:
Never mind, baby; we'll take 'em
to the bar bers when we 90 out, and
he'll shave them all right"
Baby did not say anything, but she
did not like the way Denny had disHg-
ured her little dolls.
"Now, baby" said Denny, make be-
lleve you are me coming to have your
hair cut" And he lifted her on to a
chair and looked all around for nurses
scissors, which he soon found. He
had just taken one of baby's long gold
en- curls In his hand, ready to cut 1t
Off, when nurse came into the room.
Denny hid behind large armchair.
what have you been up to now?"
said his nurse; and when she cav what
he had done and how he had spattered
paint over everything, she took him
right down to his mother.
Denny had OILY dry bread for his
supper that night, and he had to go to
bed an hour earlier, but he never forgot
his first visit to the barber's.

A Girl from tho West.

From the Washington Post: It waa
In statuary hall one day Of last week.
She was a pretty girl Of perhaps Is.
with certain unmistakable air Of be-
ing from the west. She was all alone
and not at all embarrassed. He was a
portly gentleman, with a neck that
wrinkled under his collar at the back
and a head that left timber line half
way up. She walked about gazing In
terestedly at this and that. She hadn't
the slightest need of guide, but he
marched up to her and offered his SER
vices with somewhat obese but per-
fectly killing smile. She let him make
his little speeches and smile his little
smile in silence. At length he said:
you'll pardon my speaking to you
this way, but.
ooh, yes, of course" she interrupted,
you do remind me so much Of grand
pa"

COD pleas the Naughtr Turk.

It was the hour of our morning fam
lily prayer The head of the household
was pleading In tones which he could
not keep from trembling, God bless
and protect our noble missionaries,
those glorious men and women, many
Of them so dear to us personally. Stay
the cruel slaughter OF the Armenians
and avenge thy slaughtered saints"
Little "Goldllocks," one Of our penates,
not quite years old, listened with
bated breath and eyes not much closed
behind her chubby fists, then, creeping
away from her little chair to her grand
pas side, sho whispered In his ear,
"And please say, God bless the naughty
Turks" then bent her little head and
closed her eyes to join in the prayer
which she knew would follow.

Household Hints

To make marking ink, take one
drachm Of nitrate of silver. one Of gum
arabic, one ounce Of rain or distilled
water, and mix until dissolved.
A tiny piece Of bicarbonate Of soda
mixed with tomatoes that are to be
cooked with milk or cream will, II added
first, prevent the milk from curdllng.
To mend broken plaster cast, paint
the broken surface over two or three
times with very thick shellac varnish,
and after each application burn the al
eohol over the fame. When the shellac
is soft, press the parts together and tie
In place until cold. The article will be
as strong as 1t was before being broken.

sun.Ers and Moon-Eys.

Sun.eye was getting quite sleepy
He had been wide awake ever since
a very early hour of that lovely June
morning, and It was now getting quite
late In the evening.
He had never closed his bright eyes
for single moment all the time, for no
cloud had fitted across to give him an
excuse to do so, and so he felt he
would not be sorry when bedtime
came.
"oh, dearV' he sighed, as he shook
himself little YEARLY; Its very hard
work to shine like this the whole day
long, and never close ones eyes. Really,
feel quite worn out, and I'm sure my
rays have been getting paler and paler
with fatigue. 1t does seem long day
indeed"
"The longest" remarked the Moon
sleepily with her eye shut.
"Ah! so It u.s." eagerly replied the
Sun; IT had quite forgotten that. Oh
we'll! it's no use my thinking about
going to bed yet awhile II that's tho
case" and he opened his glittering
eye still wider, and threw the lovellest
crimson and gold rays all over the sea
and sky.
They were so brilliant that they quite
reused the little fishes, who were Just
preparing to 80 to sleep, and they all
came to the surface of the pale green
sea and put their heads out to see what
was the matter, and all they saw was
Sun-eye, shining as brightly as II II
we're still MONDAY.
AT this time Of night, tool! said
one Indignantly, as he dlved below
again, =
II thought at least It was fireworks"
complained another.
And as there were no fireworks they
all went to bed again.
Sun-eye shone his brightest for lit
Ito while longer, but he was so tired
that gradually the big black bank OF
cloud, which was his eyelid, closed over
his golden eye, and he was asleep for
the night.
Moon-eye woke up then, and began
to look about her-rather sleeplly at
first; but very soon she opened her eye
quite wide and gazed out over the sea,
whitening the cleaning sails Of tiny
fishing boat, and turning the wings of
a homeward-hying seagull into silver as
bright as her own pretty eye.
She did not wake up the little fishes,
but all through that lovely summer
night she kept her quiet watch In the
sky, and even the restless little waves
grew tranquil under her soft beams,
and only crooned their old Mother
Oceans little soft lulables In their
sleep.
And little children who had looked
up and laughed in the Suns glorious
eye only glanced half shyly at gentle
Moon-eye; and she laid her pale fingers
on their sleepy eyes, and they too slum-
bered The little fishes slept the most
soundly Of all until Moon-eye went to
bed In the dawn and sun-eye got up
and sent shaft Of brilliant light right
down into their beds and woke them up
in time for breakfast. -. The Watch

"First find your BUSH" said Johnny's
pa, "and then stick to 1t till
You've picked 1t clean. Let those go

And Johnny did rs he was told; and'
sure enough, he found
BY sticking to his bush while all the
others chased around
In search Of better picking, twas as
his father said;
For, while all the others looked, he
worked and soon came out ahead,
And Johnny recollected this when he

And first Of all he laid him out we'll

So, while the brilliant trlhers failed,

Not as Good as Whist.

An amusing story is told of Chi.
cago whist player who imagined him
self an authority on the game. After
boring his friends with verbal COM
ments, suggestions and advice upon
the methods Of play, he at last wrote
and published a book One copy was
sent to famous Milwaukee player for
his opinion about 1t. In about a week
the book was returned to him with the
following letter:
my Dear Sir-Your favor Of the -
inst, accompanied by your book, was
duly received. 1t have read 1t very
carefully. 1t seems to be very good
game, but 1 don't think it is as good
a game as whist. Sincerely yours

mouth Of an unseen being, A number
supposed that rain and lightning were
caused by men in the sky pouring down
water and firing guns. One who had
seen -four falling in mill thought that
snow was ground from mill in the

by inhabitants of the heavens. Only
one said she had tried to think" about
the origin OF the world and its inhabl-

OLD UMPIRE GONE.
James NJ. ConnelI Died Recently at His
Homo in New York City.

Homo In New York City.
John M. Connell, formerly we'll
known umpire, who was perhaps better
known as Connolly" died Of pneu-
monia In New York city the other day.
He was born June 20, 1860, in New York
city, and gained considerable local re-
nown as an amateur, having played
with school mines and other local teams,
principally the Delawares, at one time
a prominent organization in the metro
politan district. He commenced UNI
plrlng In 1883, when he filled that oner-
Gus position for the Monitor club, Of
that city, in all It's games, and also in
many games between commercial
teams. He next umpired for the Jer-
sey City club In all of its exhibition
games with teams Of either the Amerl-
can association or the National league.
His umpiring was so impartial and was
so we'll liked that 1t finally led to his be-
ing appointed substitute umpire OF
the American association in August,
1884, and he was promoted to be one
of the regular staff Of official umplres In
September of that year. He was reap
pointed as one of the regular umpires
for 1885, and gave general satisfaction
during that season. At the beginning
of the season of 1886 he was appointed
as one OF the regular umpires on the
official staff Of the National league,
and remained with that organization
until July 20, when he was succeeded
by Charles Fulmer. Cornell, from
then until his death, devoted his time
to commercial pursuits. and, with the
