Kind. ApprecIatire words.

Iwonder why We are so chary of kind,
appreciative words! 1t costs so little
to give encouragement and joy to our
fellows. A multitude of appreciatiye
thoughts concerning our friend may
be hidden in our hearts, but how sell
dom do they find expression. We may
laud his excellence to others, but never
a word of praise reaches his ear. Many
a respondent soul would be cheered
and helped over desperately hard
place if only some one would whisper
a heartening word. 1t is wonderful how
a particularly gloomy outlook may be
frightened by a timely appreciation OF
our struggles and triumphs. do not
mean fattery or fulsome praise, but
genuine appreciation. Give expression
to your appreciation of the virtues and
achievements of your dear ones in the
home circle as well as of those outside.

THE JETTIEs OF GALVESTON.
Splendid HarbOr improvements of
the Texas City.

There is not in all the world any
ments at all to be compared with the
great work of jetty construction that
the United States engineers have Just
completed at Galveston" said Con-
gresham Hawley, who halls from that
city. Mr.. Hawley, who is one of the
leading business men in the Island City,
was telling some friends about the re-
suits of Uncle Sans munifcent expend-
iture for deep water at his home.
There are two jetties," said he, zone
seven miles in length and the other
five, and the distance between them
clear out to the open sea is about 1000
feet. They are built of sandstone and
stantial way, and they will stand as
an everlasting monument to the skill
and wisdom of the engineers. They
are an unqualified success. We have
now &c feet of water on the bar, and in
a years time can count on 80 feet, for
the work of securing goes on con-
stantly.
The practical benefits of deep wa
ter are shown in the fact that in 1896 the
value of exports from Galveston harbor
was 60 per cent. greater than for any
year in its past history, despite the low
average of prices of all kinds of prod
ucts. do not believe, in view of the
great tributary country behind it, that
it is the view of an enthusiast or vision
sry when the prediction is made that
ere many years Galveston will be one
of the greatest marts of commerce in
the United States. From this time for
ward there is no limit to the expansion
of her shipping interests, for, with am
pie sea room and depth Of water, she
can accommodate the merchant craft
Of all countries. s."-Washipgton Post.

Loving friends and relatives are apt

children in whom they are interested,
and child really becomes fretful and
troublesome who has more toys than
he needs. Instead of giving the chill

both boys and girls articles in silver

table or teaspoon on each birthday, and
have the date clearly engraved on each
article. Continue until one dozen spoons
or forks have been given, then begin
with different article.
In family where there are three
maiden aunts, a teaspoon, tablespoon

Character i'm Children.

Parents sometimes congratulate
themselves upon the fact that one child
is never self-willed, never passionate or
angry, always amiable, contented and
calm, seeming to need no discipline and
no restraint. And they mourn over the
fact that another child is eager, i'm
petuous, willful, troublesome. Yet not
infrequently the mourning and the re-
joicing ought to change places, if the
future life and character be taken into
account The tranquility of the one
may be only the outcome of a feeble
character, which leans against the near
est prop because it cannot stand alone,
while the other, who Is SO difficult to
manage, may contain the elements Of
o powerful nature, which needs only
to be guided Alright to become a valua-
ble and a noble MANN. Y. Ledger.

Collars, Collar Bands, Frills, TuelEn
and other Things.

Fashion in collar bands and their
decoration still plays an important part
in the finish of our costumes, and while
they are not so elaborately trimmed a.
they were in the winter, frill of some
sort, and above all the touch of white,
is positive necessity for the success
of fashionable gown. A short ruche,
wider at the back than at the sides,
appears on all the half dressy gowns,
and this is made of lace or net in any
of the bright colors. Deep cream o.
white is the most becoming, and the
net is doubled and plated in box plaits,
but all these ruehes are less full than
they were and not so wide. A double
ruche of black net and an inner one OF
white lace is very effective on some
gowns. These little frills are shown
in the shops made of chiffon net and
lace all plated into a band ready to
baste inside the collar.
Loops of ribbon are still used at the
back of dressy gowns, with the lace
ruche falling between, and one pretty
neck finish is two quarter of yard
lengths of four-inch black satin ribbon
cut with standing ends and plated on
cne edge in small double box plait,
forming two little frills meeting in the
back, and the lace, which begins mar
rowly in the sides, falls over these. The
tucked collar bands are very pretty
with simply the lace ruche in the edge,
and the knot effect in front is another
fancy this season which Is very pretty
on some gowns. Linen collars are still
worn with shirt waists, but the stock
collar of silk, with a narrow turnover
collar of linen is by far the most FASH
ionable. This sort of finish is seen on
almost every bodice intended especially
for morning wear. The narrow linen
collar comes in great variety, plain,
hemstitiched, and with tiny insertion in
lines of embroidery little way from
the edge, and trimmed with lace. Then
there are various shapes in linen lawn
with insertions and edgings of lace,
and embroidered edges as well. Stocks
made of the silk like the bodice tied N
a soft bow with hemstitched ends in
front, and a narrow linen collar turned
over the edge, are in excellent taste as
well as good style. Ribbon is used for
stocks, with the order of last season
reversed and the bow tied in front, and
the same narrow linen collar is the fin.
ish, with narrow cuffs to match.-N. Y,

MORBID SENSITIvENESS.
The Terrible SeIf-TOrtune of a Fa-
nous Writer.

William Hazlitt, the critic and essay
ist, wrote with a satirical pen. But,
| like most satirists, he was very sensi-
tive, and bitterly resented any attack
| upon himself. So irritably alive was he
to Sights that if a friend passed him in
the street without seeing him, he would
at once decide that he had been inten-
tionally "cut," fly into an absurd pas
sion, and if possible, pillory the offender
in an essay.
Blackwood's Magazine persistently
attacked Hazlitt, who was liberal in
politics, and therefore opposed to the
literary representative of Scotch tory
ism. The attacks were low and per
sonal, and so depressed the morbidly
sensitive critic that he skulked through
the streets of London like a criminal,
anxious to avoid the detectives eye.
His friend, Mr.. P. G. Parmore, thus de-
scribes the painful feelings of the man
after an article from Blackwood had ag-
gravated his naturally irritable self
consciousness:
IF he entered coffee-house to ge,
his dinner, it was impossible. he
thought, that the walters could be doing
anything else all the time he was there
but pointing him out to guests as the
gentleman who was so abused last
month in Blackwood's Magazine If
he knocked at the door of friend, the
look and reply of the servant, whatever
they might be, made it evident that he
had been reading Blackwood's Maya
zine before the family were up in the
morning.
Then at home at his lodgings, if the
servant who waited upon him did not
answer his bell the first tim=ah! twas
clear-she had read Blackwood's, or
heard talk of it! Did the landlady send
up his bill day earlier than usual, OF
ask for payment of it less civilly than
was her custom-how could he wonder
at it? 1t was Blackwood's doing"
Hazlitt's case is another illustration
of ,he inconsistency of human nature.
He could attack, but whined when at
tackled; he expressed strongly his own
dislikes and prejudices, but resented il
when another said that he did not like
William Hazlitt- If he had lad sense
of humor, he would have been less sen,
sitive.-Youth's Companion

When he. too, was mounted, he raised

But Miss Chamberlain had no mind
that it should end thus. Her narrow

Lovat looked at her searchingly. He
suspected guile behind such unnatural
innocence, but the sweet questioning
of her saint-like face reassured him.
He did not answer, but turned and rode
with her. They talked of many things.
for Miss Chamberlain was a clever and
accomplished little person; and at last
they spoke of music. Miss Chamber

And before they parted, they had
planned TO meet again. She did it. but
he didn't notice that. They met once

Lovat was in love. Then, indeed, he

sTUPEFYINe EFFECT OF COLD.
The Wenriness That Precedes Death
by Freezing.

Oy EcCGAhSs
One of the most powerful modes of
checking the increased action of local
Inflammation is to diminish the tenn
Perature of the parts. Heat to a GER
tain extent is necessary for all vege-
table and animal action; increase the
creased; diminish the temperature and
these actions are diminished. That this
is the case, we think, is apparent from
the influence of the returning spring
upon the vegetable kingdom and hiber-
mating animals; they leave their abode
and commence a new series of actions;
on the return of the winter we find
both again shut up in a state of in
dolence and inactivity. Now, although
we are not dormice, we feel the change
from heat to cold very disagreeably,
and we know that some degrees of cold
very much diminish our muscular eff
forts. When DR.. Solander was with
Capt. Cook in his voyage around the
world party landed on some part of
North America, among them was the
doctor himself. He had just been eau
:ioning them against the benumbing
and stupefying effects of cold, and Of
the danger there was in giving way to
such feelings. He had just finished
what he had to say on the subjectwhen
he was taken in the very way himself.
He said: 81 am very weary, let me lie
down; do let me lie down for few
minutes" 5ut if they had he would
never have raised himself again. The
other officers insisted upon his exert
ing himself, and absolutely drove him
before them. and it was with the great
est difficulty that he could reach the
ship.-N. Y. Ledger.
