Some years ago there Was an Old lady
in one CT the southern capit;ls who not
only wore decollctc ball dresses at So,
but actually possessed the lovely neck
and ar1ns which they require, says the
New York Ledger. She was most in
nocently vain; and no wonder, for she
was immensely hattered and her towns
people valued her charms far above
those Of her young and mere beautiful
rivals. She had & curious way OF pre-
pairing for a ball, which our modern
fashionable women, with their multi
tudinous engagements would find diff
ficult to emulate. The morning before
she proposed appearing in full rcgalia,
she would take a brisk walk and re-
turn in time for a midday dinner, after
which she remained quiet with her
work until about three or four o'clock,
when she would retire to her bed, take
a very hot ptisan to induce perspiration,
and remain in bed (partaking Of some
light refreshment at the tea hour) until
it was time to dress for her ball. Then
she would get up, take q bath and make
the most elaborate toilet All the house
hold regarded these preparations in the
light of solemn rites, and would never
have dreamed Of laughing at them Or
interfering with them in any way. Her
appearance was a triumph, never fail

suggestive Of the beloved Mount Fugi-

"A Peculiar Glass.

The first explorers of China tell of a
peculiar kind Of glass shown them.
Transparent and colorless, it was filed
with a liquid made by the orientals,
which to the observers appeared to be as
clear as water. This liquor upon being
poured into the glass seemed to be filled
with fishes. This was not owing to any
popularity Of the fluid, but to the glass
itself. The Chinese confessed that they
did not make them, but that they were
the plumber of some foreign conquest
many centuries before.

s Whatever may be said about the
publications Of Rev. Fri r. Hicks by
those who do not fully understand the
facts, there is no denying the truth thai
his paper and Almanac have come to
stay. His splendid journal, WORLD AND
W oRKs, is now entering it's tenth year,
largely increased in circulation and in
every way improved, until it deserves
the national reputation it has attained.
His 1887 Almanac is now ready and is
by far the finest and most beautiful he
has yet issued, It contains 1O8 pages
including cover artistical]y printed in
colors, and is full from back to back with
just what is wanted in every shop, Office
and home in America. One feature of
the Almanac for 1897 is a series Of II
original, beautifully engraved star maps,
with explanatory chapters, which could
not be bought for less than five dollars
IN any work On astronomy. AS Mr.
Hicks has SO correctly and faithfully
warned tho public Of coming droughts,
floods, cold waves, billiards., tornadoes
and cyclones, in the years passed, aside
from the other varied and splendid
features of his paper and Ain amaze, these
considerations alone should prompt
every family to subscribe at once for
1897. The Almanac is only 25cts. a copy.
