The Art of Boy. Tying.

The at of Low tying is taught to young women, who like always to be smartly trimmed with correct bows at the neck and belt. Even the bow for the hair has different tie from the bow at the slipper and the waistband has Il knot entirely unlike that at the throat To know the difference is one of the arts of bow tying The next is to be able to tie.
 A bow of orange velvet of the new shade, eapucine, Is 6 valuable adjunct for a somber dress. Upon a light one 1t becomes positively brilliant, beautiful decoration for dinner. For such bow $ I it's belt there must be crush of A2bet to go around the waist snugly. This must be crinolined to set like q girdle, and 10 it must be sewed the bow of velvet Each separate loop is lined and stiffened, and the ends have sharp pieces Of sttfening set in. The whole is brought under small knot A bow, carefully made like this, withstands a great deal ef hard usage, and if it is lined with taffeta instead of with velvet it is not too bulky thing to be worn under coat.

POETRY
What It Is aud What It Appears to Ba
 at Varying Ages.


 Ask the first half dozen people you meet What is peetry?s and the result will be something like this Five out of the six will look hurt at your springing sueh a question upon them aud say lanely, "Oh. it's when the lines rhyme, you knowi and the sixth will be an- noyed because, for the life of him, he can say what it is and is afraid you Il think he doesn't know As to the rhym- ing definition, beware how you accept it, innocent and simple as 1t looks. Alp piled, it will inevitably lead you to the conclusion that Hamlet" and Evan geline" aren't poetry, but that Little Jack Horner' is.
 The meaning of the word poetry varies. too, with our own age. Five. year-old thinks Sing a Song O Six pence" and Simple Simon" the great est masterpieces Of poetic thought; 15 won't look at either, but pores over the "Ingoldsby Legends, the "Aneiens Mariner, and, for change, the cheer ful Burial of Sir John Moore" 20 dreams away Sunday afternoons ovor Maud, ard privately determines q be Tennyson, too, some day. while 25 ''hasn't time to read poetry,
 There are two well known poems that always seem to me deserving of our greatest pity = "The Village Black. smith, and "Casabianca. We give them all the little disagroeable jobs to do--all the kicks fall to their share, and none of the halfpenoe.
 II eomis paper man IS hard up fof a joke he falls back upon one or othe1 of them, while the way they are both hacked and mangled and tortured in tha sehoolroom alone Is positively cruel. and, outside it's four walls, all the re. ward they get iS general disfagor. to say nothing of social oblivion and derision
 But long after school has been left be. hind the boy of the burning deck and the smith with tho brawny arms turs round upon IS and take their revenge for all the obloquy and hard work heaped upon them.
 They haunt Us and bring in theil train thoughts we would rather not think, We don't so much mind ths memories of dingy sehoolrooms and ins and tears and smudged copies that they force upon ns, or even of half holida. l spent in durance vile, but it is not oi these alone that they remind us. No They hint at the sad and foolish igpobls days and inc long dead loves and hope' and aspirations that have filled our Iivei since, and we find ourselves contrasting what we ara with what we wers-tod often, alas, bitter thoughtl
 After all, the greatest and best poetry is unwriste. and will eyer remain so. Our sweetesc love songs come ripplins over the meadows with the breeze that rocks the E asses ill the long. soft sum. nler eyeniG<.; our saddest dirges moan through tho woods in the dark Noyem' Der days, when damp mist hangs gray aud pall-like over the hills and the de.d leaves rustic ss though swept by tht feet of ghostly funeral train, while fol thrilling dramas and great, grand epiei we need but to look round us into tht faces and lives of living men and wom en. -Exehange

 There were number of men and women in Rauchfuss swimming basin, below the Passaic falls in Paterson, one afternoon about fortnight ago when Miss Maggie Sullivan was seized with cramps and uttered shriek for help. The basin is only ten feet deep, but that is more than enough to drown helpless girl, and several strong swim, mers did their best to reach her in time to give aid. Among the farthest away, and swimming away from her at the mo. ment, YVES Miss Bertha Veronica Kir- singer, but the hand that first elutehed the sinking girl and bore her safely to the float was Miss Kirsinger's. MeE who had esteemed themselves good swimmers had been distaneed in the race.
 This is by no means the only feat that has entitled Miss Kirsinger to be considered the local naiad queen. She is the only woman who has yentured to cross the falls basin to the edge of the cataract whirlpool, and few days ago she went through test of endurance such as few amateur swimmers of either sex would care to attempt.
