If we could realize how our
thOughtless words leave their inn
press and oftentfmes wound q sensi-
tive nature we would be more careful
how we use them.
Oftentimes they are spoken in Jest,
Lut they sting nevertheless. 1t is so
common to jest of old maids and
mothers-iI-law that it has really be-
come d common belief that good
mother-in-law cannot exist, or an
unmarried woman, to- whom is ap-
piled the term ''old maid" be aught
but bore.
How often these two unfortunate
classes are wounded by the thought
less words spoken of them, and yet
how many a man has lived to bless
his mother-in-iaw,, or an old maid
aunt or sister, for the gentle minis
trations in his family circle, for the
care and labor taken from his life,
and for the patient training of his
children who are taught all those
virtues that make in after lite fiae
man or woman whom he is proud.
When young people ignore or jest
as to the looks of an aged man or
woman they forget they cannot re-
main young forever, and that the
day will come to them when they too
will sit alone and be jeered at.
have heard young person laugh at
and correct an old person for, as they
called 1t, their queer pronunciation,
never remembering that all those
things have changed and what was
considered the proper way to pro-
nounce word twenty years ago is
not the right way now, but why
wound an aged person by Haunting
ones knowledge and making them
feel their ignorance? Many wound
is inflicted by this very habit of the
young. Old people are naturally
sensitive and cannot be treated with
too much consideration.
There is no loneliness to my mind
comparable with the loneliness Oh
age and why not brighten their lives
all We can and never wound their
hearts by what sometimes seem the
most harmless jest.
There are two classes that we
should ever deal tenderly with, the
aged and the poor; never jest on the
subject of poverty. The arrow may
hit where you least expect it,
especially among those who have
known better times and then been
reduced. A careless word or com
ment on cheap clothes, ETC., may be
made In the presence of such persons

and yet 1t goes deep down into the
heart. heard a wealthy lady make
a remark once In the presence of q
lady who wore a fur cape of not the
most expensive fur. She said she
had friend who had a fur cape Of
that kind and she was In New York
with her and she said: 'She would
persist in wearing her furs on the
street with me until [ was SO ashamed

Objectionable fur said not word
but her face flushed and the feelings
were hurt. There was no necessity
for such a speech and only a com
mon, unrefined woman would have
made it. She imagined her wealth
permitted any speech, no matter how
it wounded.
Many a word and careless jest Ii

tion to be commended in the exclusion
of the linen day shirt for the vest of fin
est hand knitted or woven wool. The
former tiny garment is no doubt pref
ty and dainty in appearance, but its
comfort is much to be questioned. The
woven vest-and Of course only the
very best quality should be used-may
be described as an ideal shirt, as it con-
tains the minimum of weight and the
maximum of warmth. Its silky smooth
ness is comfortable to the tender skin,
and it never falls into the chatting rucks

Indeed, nowadays the sensible mother

six-three for day wear and three for
nights thoroughly comfortable one.

cut from one piece Of flannel, without
any seams or joins. The back is made
strong with double piece of the fan
mel and then nicely ornamented with a
trellis work of fine coral stitching

stitching also is carried round the rest
of the bodice, giving a pretty effect.
The armholes are merely followed out
and secured by narrow straps of flannel.
The entire bodice Is bound very neatly
with white lutte ribbon.
The depth of this little bodice when
made should be inches, the width
about % inches, this allowing for a
comfortable wrap over in front, the
points at the back fastening neatly with
silk strings. The skirt Of the flannel is
merely straight piece some 26 inches
in length and about II in width. Un-
less the flannel is extra wide one join
will be necessary, and this should be
made with the utmost neatness. The
skirt is also bound with lutte ribbon and
finished by an edging Of the silk coral
stitching. 1t is gathered on to the bodice
with band of the white ribbon, nearly
all the fullness being arranged at the
back. This design will answer equally
well for day or night wear, but in the
latter case the embroidery can be dis
pensed with.

Fashionable Gloves.

Glazed kid in all the tints Of beige,
red, brown and gray, either stitched
with self color or with black, is the

same shades come in suede gloves, which
still hold their own with many ladies
against all the allurements of the more
dressy glazed kid. The embroidery used
on the new suede gloves is rather heav-
Ter than last season and frequently
shows com bination of black inter

But, after all is said and done, this

no practical, no possible way for the
adjustment of the only questions
over which civilized nations ever go

rights and possessions-the qnes-

passions and arouse its sense OF
dignity and honor-these go to a
tribunal Of six, and can be settled

that Englishmen will vote against
England on such an issue, or that
Americans will be less human and
less patriotic than Englishmen?
1t may be that the Senate will
ratify this much lauded treaty. We
see no particular reason why it
shouldn't. But the proposition that
1t means the perpetual apotheosis of
whitt-winged peace or that it will
serve any useful purpose In a really
serious emergency strikes US as being
too puerile for words.

MUST BE PRESERVED.
So Says the New Governor in Refer
ence to the University.

chco 10 the University.
From Russelps Inaugural.
Among the most important object 8
of our care is the State University.
1t is to be regret ed that there is
among some of the best people OF the
State a sentiment that does not sus
tain the existing law which gives an
annual appropriation to this institu-
tlon-a sum which should be iu-
creased but for the fact that the con
dition of the State treasury NAV not
justify it.
Ii there be any thing in the Sta tie
laws or in the management of the
University which gives, with State
money, free tuition to persons who
are pecuniarily able to pay and thus
takes from the UNCONVENTIONAL col
leees students who would voluntari-
ly help to sustain them, then such
laws and practices should be aban-
doned. But if this free tuition is con
fined to those who cannot pay,
where is the harm TO the denomina-
tional colleges? The limited number
of these free students does not add
appreciably to the expense of main
ta!niug the University. 1t is about
/ that much pure gain to meritorious
young men without entailing taxa
ton on anybody.
Neither does this State aid sub
tract materially from the efficiency
OF the public schools. If given to
them, it would eX tend them only one
day and a fraction of a day each
year.
In this University we have a plant

BOMBAY, Jan. 15.-Over half the

while crowded streets, docks and
bazaars are not recognizable. Bust
ness in piece goods, metals, crockery
and hardware is at a standstill, and

doctors, graduates OF the colleges, have
fled. 1t is estimated that 800, 900 per
sons are encamped az Andheri, whence
they will soon be forced to migrate,
