against II as We will, our hair becomes
fabby, and when that is accompanied
by a homely gown, the result is de-
plorable.
These remarks doubtless seem super
fetal, but is there one business woman
In ten who, when she buys her gowns
for the season, thinks of rainy-day
costume?
Bicycling and tennis are slowly but
surely affecting cloudy-weather dress,
for the knickerbockers which are so
useful in these sports serve equally we'll
in keeping one dry on rainy day.
They should be worn under short
walking skirt. Cheviot or serge, OF any
color but blue-that turns green after
being wet few times-is best for the
suit.
It's pretty idea TO have a tam-o'-
shanter designed 10 wear with the suit.
II should be trimmed with a couple OF
quills, which weather cannot spoil.
Over the costume should be worn a
long sleeveless circular coat. or shin
tweed or gingham. These coats have
capes and narrow turnover collars.
Perhaps one prefers a tight-fitting
coat. in which case puff sleeves are
worn and jacket fronts. These fronts
are intended to conceal large rocket
on each side. The entire effect is very
natty.
To return TO materials, one cloak
was of brown and white fine checked
gingham. lined with changeable taffeta
in brown magenta. Another was of tan
tweed, thin enough TO allow the glow
of a pink lining 10 shine through.
A cute idea in this cloak was the
tiny pockets placed at each front cor
ner OF the cape. They were entirely
concealed by ornamental flaps.
Above all things, have a handsome
umbrella, and learn to properly furl

Anecdotes of Thomas Hughes.

The death of Thomas Hughes has
revived a host of stories illustrative of
the manliness and charm of his
character The democratic bias showed
itself in boyhood. At Rugby, when
head of the eleven, he set at naught
the aristocratic exclusiveness Of the
place by bringing the country lads into
the school-close to play cricket with
him. At Lincoln's inn be defied the
beadle by opening the gates Of the
fields" and letting in the children of
the slums. AS special constable in the
Chartist troubles of 1s4s he was beset
with misgivings that the agitators were
right. But he knew where TO draw the
line. At one Of the socialist meetings
in the days Of +. ID. Maurice the ma
tional anthem was started. The revo-
lutionary Chartists began TO hiss. Tom
Hughes sprang upon a chair and
threatened the first man who renewed
the insult to the queens name with
personal chastisement. Fear OF his
fists stopped the discord.-St. James
Gazette.

Heaven.

The belief in mutual recognition in
the heavenly world is as natural and as
universal as the belief in the exist
ence of God or the Immortality OF the
soul. Memory will accompany us.
Death does not effect so sreat a change
as many suppose. IL is not so great a
transformer OF character as a trans
ferrer OF real personality into new
state of existence under different con-
ditions.-Rev. Amos Sherman.

the florist. IL is the little things in this
world that make life attractive, and it
is the little acts of courtesy and con-
sideration on the part of the husband
which deepens her love for him. height
ems her respect for other men, and
makes her daily and hourly grateful
10 God, through whose infinite wisdom
her life and that of her husband were
brought together. Marriage is never
failure in a home where consideration
fills the minds and lives of the hus-
band and wife. 1t is a golden bond be-
tween them which brightens years, and
binds them together when they are abb
sent from one another.
Kind words are the music of the
world. They have a power which seems
TO be beyond natural causes. 1t seems
as If they could almost do what in
reality God alone can do-soften the
hard and angry hearts of men. No one
has ever been converted by sarcasm
crushed, perhaps, if the sarcasm was
clever enough, but drawn nearer to
God, never.
l think that a person who tries to
shoot a burglar in his own house is
foolish. 1t is even more hazardous than
running ahead of teams on the street.
Suppose one should tumble down. No
driver has such a command over his
horses that he could stop them soon
enough TO prevent an accident. IL al
ways makes me nervous TO see some
smarty go lodging under the horses
nose. Now, a burglar has nine out Of
ten advantages over the man being bur-
glarized. The burglar IL wide-awake,
on the alert for danger, has his means
OF escape perfectly planned, and is
around for anything that may threaten
him or cut off his escape. The man
| being burglarized is usually awakened
from a sound sleep, If he awakes at
all. and is naturally in a dazed condi-
tion. This is proven from the fact that
about three-fourths of the men thus
aroused, who shoot at burglars hit
some member of the household instead
| in two cases out of three. of the re-
naming fourth, are themselves hit by
the burglar In other words. about one
out OF every twelve who enter a house
| is shot at and rarely hit. The safest
| place Is in bed when burglars are in
the house. They rarely get anything
OF any value, assuredly not enough to
( justify anyone stalking his life to save
the stolen articles. OF course, II he
should happen to capture a burglar he
would be called brave man, but bur.
glars are seldomed captured by police
men. On the contrary, IL he catches I
bullet instead of burglar. he will b'
called a fool for Rot letting the burglars
have their own way.

Where Was He?

The Forfarshire lairds Of remote
day were won't to 60 weekly to great
Dundee, not so great then, to dine early,
but too we'll, and ride away home, not
in every case very fit for the saddle.
The road ran eastward for some miles
on q height above the Tay, steep
grassy slope down to the Firth. One of
the old gentlemen (they were gentle
men) rolled off his horse and rolled
away down the declivity. The water at
the edge was only a few inches deep at
that season of the tide, and there he
lay. By and by some one remarked
that the laird's saddle was empty,
though his horse was trotting on with
the others. So the party turned back,
looking for the missing man, and ex.
claiming: ''Faar are ye, Balnawiggin?
Faar are ye?' AT length voice was
heard, coming from far below. "The

The Swiss ARMY.

The Swiss army is complete in every
detail, it is said, the medical, veter
mary and commissariat departments be-
ing thoroughly organized, and this i'll
spite of the fact that the average cost of
a soldier is only G7 a year. The first
line forces number an effective total of
1877, $40 men; i'll the landwehr there
are 80, 600 more, and in the landsturm
270, 900. Besides, owing to the encour
agement given by the state to such in
situations as the Societies de Tir. nearly
every man in the country knows how to
hindle rifle and is more or less of o
soldier. Switzerland could at the short
est notice put into the field and main
tain an army of $50, 900 men at least,
properly found and equipped. When the
Swiss soldier crosses the threshold of
his house, he may be said to be in full
marching order, for he keeps his entire
kit, rife-knapsack and closk-in his
home, and every man takes an honest
pride in having each article in good
condition. Pail Mall Gazette.
