COMING HON r..

They sailed away gallant band,
With spirits high and ready hand,
Above their heads the banner bright
Drew. forth wild plaudits of delight.
For that dear flag they ventured all,
Content to suffer, fight and fall.
With. souls that thirsted for the fray,
They sought the ships at break of day,
And sailed away.
Along the decks they gasping lie,
The fever fire in every eye.
So thin, so weak, so MANNED and spent,
Their proud ranks broken, scattered, rent.
Yet still upon the lofty mast
The old flag flutters in the blast,
And love lights up each glazing eye
That fingers where the torn folds fly.
They cheer the stars gainst heavens dome
They're coming home.

Beauty's evangel to the gloom and shade.

While ii is considered bad form for
a woman to carry her skirts when
walking, there are conditions and CIR
cumstances when she must do so, or
else BIO accounted careless and indiher-
emit, which is worse. The incest way
to do this Is the question under CON
sideration, 9br this is one of the Eeys
to the lock Of ladyism, and there is as
much individuality In this often over

in these so-called minor points that the
innate laayhood of woman manifests
itself. 9t
In the first place, unless one is a
woman Of luxury,,a piece Of Dresden

service with nothing but her wardrobe
to look after, one is not eScusable for
wearing skirts that in consequence OF
their ali-round exaggerated length are

And now the way to most effectually

The present fancy for the use of lace
mats upon our polished tables has
caused demand for whole covers of
this delicate and beautiful material.
A lady who CHANGED to have number
of the lace squares, formerly sold in
various sizes for Tides, mats and other
purposes, made very handsome cover
by simply sewing them together in
rows, and then adding border of the
same kind of lace, about two and o
half inches wide, put straight along
the four sides and slightly full at the
corners. The squares were four inches.
Lined with pink, and cut-glass vase
holding long -stemmed pink roses upon
it, the table it covered attracted many
eyes.
Another cover, of squares of Cluny
lace had band of linen two inches
wide separating centre and border.
A third showed squares of lace alter
mating with squares Of sheer linen cam
brio stitched Of the same size.
This also had band of the plain
material separating the centre from
the lace edge, which matched the
squares. -Harper's Bazaar.

Novelties to be Worn This Season by Those
Who Obey Fashions Decree.
baltimore SIM


Baltimore SUM-.
Hudson bay and. Russian sable and
baum marten were The furs worn by the
New York fashionable danes at the
recent horse show, consequently the
decree has gone forth that sables and
baum mart"n shall be the leading furs
for the winter. Mink, seal and stone
marten come next in order.
The new collarettes, in all these furs,
are very fetching. They are not quito
SO full as last year, but still do not fit
closely to the figure. The newest ones
are short over the shoulders, but have
great long ends in front, falling below
the waist. They are finished with g
cluster Of tails.
Some of these nobby little wraps are
made entirely of one kind OF fur.
Others arc combinations of Persian
lamb and sable, or seal and sable. One
of the most striking that was displayed
at furriers yesterday, was combina-
tion of long haired Hudson bay fox,
with seal. 1t was finished at the buck
with the head and claws of the fox,
and in front with the long bushy tail.
Fur scarfs will be worn as well as
collarettes this winter, and they, too,
are finished with clusters of furs. Full
capes are trifie shorter than last year.
Muffs also show n reduction in size.
They are still quite large, but not ex-
tremely so, as last year Most of them
are plain, but few are decorated with
the head and claws of the animal Of
whose skin they are made. A muff
made of the fur of the red fox, with
the, head and claws perched upon top,
and with the long bushy tail hanging
from the side, is one of the novelties.

Used Instead of Sugar, It is Economical and
PalatabIe. 'fN Hg


A pound of honey will go as far as q
pound of butter. and if both articles
be of the best quality the honey will
cost the less of the two. Often prime
article of extracted honey, equal to
comb honey in every respect except
appearance, can be obtained for half
the price of butter or less. Butter is
at its best only when fresh" while
honey, properly kept, remains indefi-
nitely good-no need to hurry it out of
the way for fear it may become rancid.
Sugar is much used in hot drinks,
as in coffee and tea. The substitution
of mild favored honey in such use
may be a profitable thing for the
health. Indeed, it would be better for
the health if the only hot drink were
what is called in Germany honey tea--
cupful of hot water with one or two
tablespoonfuls of extracted honey. The
attainment of great age has in some
cases been attributed largely to the
lifelong use of honey tea.
Many people think "honey is honey"
all rust 'alilSe& but this is a great mis-
take. Honey may be of good, heavy
body, what housekeepers call "well
ripened, weighing sometimes II
pounds to the gallon, or it may be
quite thin. 1t may also be granulated
or candied, more solid than lard. II
may be almost as colorless as water,
and it may be as black as the darkest
molasses. The flavor of honey varies
according to the flower from which il
is obtained. 1t would be impossible to
| describe in words the fiavors of the
| different honeys The different fiavors
in honey are as distinct as the odors
in flowers. Among the lighter -coloret
honeys are white clover, linden (oi
basswoodl, sage. sweet clover, alfalfa
willow herb, &c. land among the darker
are found heartsease, magnolia tol

Tastes differ as to honByias well a.
