A WILD ROSE SKIN.

When a Swedish woman has a clear,
beautiful skin, 1t rivals almost in exquisite
loneliness the bloom Of the English
rose" or her cousin, the american lily"
To lie i'm bed and be waited on by a nurse
with a wild-rose complexion and to dis
cover that when health returns one may
hope to attain to such a complexion by
the use of very simple means seems to
make up in some degree for the weary
days in bed.
"Oh, nurse, II ] only had your complex

ted skin for one like yours, It seems to me
I would be willing 10 jump into a barrel

then rub off with soft old linen hand

and very angry She had been well
brought up by a housekeeperly mother,
and to be told that she did not darn her
husbands stockings was gall and worm
wood.
"Ill let him know whether ! mend his
socks or not" she said to herself the next
morning, the Insult still ranking, though
she had kissed her husband goodbye with
wifely affection. Then she put on her hat
and coat and hied herself TO the nearest
dry goods shop, and there she purchased
goodly quantity of bright, scarlet darn
ing cotton. IT won't miss a hole, either"
she murmured to herself vindictlvely, as
she sat down that afternoon to attend to
the small family mending She didn't. If
there was a suspicion of a break in a
thread 1t was a sufficient excuse to put
in a stitch OF the bright scarlet. "His
feet'l look Just like a pair of parokets,"
she SAID smiling wickedly as she COM
pleted her task.
Whether the young husband had not
an eye for color, or whether his conscience
smote him for his former harshness will
never be known for he never said a word
concerning this bright embroidery on his
hosiery, and 1t might have been continued
indefinitely II his mother-in-law had not
made her appearance ON the scene. She
felt It her duty to set straight any little
matters that were going wrong, and one
of the first things her sharp eyes espied
was the red speckled black socks that
came from the family wash.
'Is II possible, Jennie" she said in
grieved tones, that after all the Instruc-
ton I have given you, and all my efforts
to make you a good housekeeper you
should go and darn your husbands socks
with red cotton? Give them to me. That
must be all taken out and they must be
darned over again. each with the color OF
the SOCK Mamma-In-law heaved a deep
sigh as she sat down to her self-imposed
task, while her daughter with a wicked
twinkle In her eyes went to the piano and
began to sing carelessy the chorus of an
old song: "And Adam, the very first man,
the very first woman obeyed."

view.
The behavior Of people in crowds would
make an interesting study OF itself. In an
ordinary crowd the majority are apt to
be unacquainted with any formal etiquet,
and the rest seem to forget all they ever
knew; only those who are possessed OF
natural pollteness and unfaiing good ma
ture are saved from becoming savages un-
der such circumstances. OF course, It Is
unpleasant for people Of refined nature to
be brought into very close contact with The
ruder populace; and Il very frequently hap
pens that the very ones who have had most
training In courtesy are the most Disagree
able when in the midst OF crowd. The
nerves Of the common people are less easily
disturbed and the physical discomforts
common to crowds are not greater than
they are accustomed to in ordinary daily
life. Unless you can be sure of bearing
yourself with courtesy and good humor,
you should avoid crowds for your own
sake as well as out of consideration fer
others If, from choice or necessity, you
flock with birds that are not all of your
own fine feather your aim should be 10
respect the rights of others, without re-
Hnquishing your own. You are not door

Russia's New
Atlantic Port

While the attention OF Europe has
peen centered mainly on the progress Of
events In the far east Russia has been
silently laying the foundations OF an
Ice free naval base on her northwestern
coast. The long talked of naval sta
ton In the north of Russia is to be
connected with the railway system Of
the empire by a railway running from
the harbof of Ecatherinsk TO KIM,
with brs,nch line to Kandalask. on the
White seal in Russian Lapland.
This new line will be $50 vers's In
length and will probably be connected
with the Finnish line at Joinsun, in
the north of Finland, or with the St.
Petersburg and Petrazavodsk railway.
Thus In few years Russia will possess
naval station in the far north which

whence her men-of-war VIII be able at
pleasure to sally out into the Atlantic.
1t certainly says n great deal in favor
or Sussia's energy and persistence in
certain directions that this scheme
should now be on the hlghroad toward
being fully and successfully carried
out, although the idea was mooted for
