To put book in bookcase on a
shelf over six feet from the ground
means that you will have to climb for
it. With the common, close-shutting-
up stepladder this may mean only
slight expenditure of labor, but the
trouble the getting of the book may
require is not the most serious one.
One should never put book up high
if it has a nice binding, because, as
the heat rises, the leather OF the book
will dry up, rot, ard perish. Gas.
light, which throws offits sulphureted
hydrogen, and the ordinary terosene
lamp are mortal enemies OF all bound
books which stand on high shelf.
Then. again, the finer PARTICLES Of dust
rise, lodge, and stick to the book.
Nice gliding becomes obliterated. The
mortal foe Of book is, then, a high

but he could not adequately render the

He started.

said, that you remind me OF Nellie

The child looked up with SYM a he.

s'You weren't her papa, were you?"
"No; am no little girls Papa"
"Oh!' said Nellie, in disappointed
tone, and her face fell. ''Then it's no
use-I won't tell you. No, 1 won't
tell you now"
She stood for moment irresolute;
then made as if she would go. He
did not want her to go; he took her
hand.
ssTell me-oh, do tell me!' he said
s'It's secret-why that picture was
painted 1 come here every day,

She bounded off like little colt to
her mothers side. He supposed she
was her mother--a tall woman dressed
in black, who stood with her back to
him absorbed in landscape opposite.
'sHe says he is no little girls papa"
announced the child, in her shrill voice.
The lady hushed her, took her hand
and led her quickly from the room.
"Excuse me, but will you hand me
your catalogue for moment?"
The old gentleman addressed started,
dropped his double eyeglasses, looked
somewhat annoyed, but nevertheless
put the catalogue into the eager hand
held out for it.

''Thank you" His hand trembled
so as he handed back the catalogue
that it fell to the ground.
"Drunk or mad?" muttered the old
gentleman, rs he stopped, much dis
composed, to pick it up again.
Our friend meantime, passed through
the crowd and hurried breathlessly on,
through the turnstile, down the steps,
just in time to see an open carriage
with two horses, and footman in
livery, drive off. In it were the lady

Nellie waved her hand to him, but
the lady averted her gaze.

Lawrence's Immortal Cry.

''Don't give up the ship" the dying
words of Commodore Lawrence, the
heroic commander of the Chesapeake,
are among the very noblest ever ut
tered. They will live as long as ocean
rolls or gallant ship floats. The gal
liant Perry flew that signal at his
masthead in the memorable battle OF
Lake Erie, at the glorious close OF
which he had the inspiration to pen
that dispatch which has canonized
him in our history: ''We have met
the enemy and they are ours" 1t
was written ON his stiff hat in lieu OF
table, on the half of an old letter, and
the additional information In it gave
the size and number of the enemy.
namely, "two ships, two brigs, one
schooner and one sloop." Perry was
hero in peace as we'll as in war.
During o fearful winter storm, while
living in the harbor of Newport, he
heard that merchant vessel had been
driven on reef six miles distant.
He at once manned his barge and said
10 the crew: "Come, my boys, we are
going to the relief of shipwrecked sea-
men; pull away" That act was ap-
plauded by the country almost as much
as the battle on Lake Erie. During
the Mexican war General Scott re-
auested the loan of some guns from
the fleet, to be used on shore. Perry
complied, but on one condition--that
wherever the guns go the officers and
men must go also."

Control of PaisIed Hands.

The control men get over their
hands by constant practice was being
discussed. One cited the case of an
artist who is afflicted with palsy so
badly that he cannot convey his food
or drink to his mouth unaided. And
yet this man with pallet and brush in
hand can paint as we'll as ever he
could. Before his brush touches the
canvas his hand trembles violently,
but the moment he feels the brush
touch his picture his stroke becomes
firm and strong and just what he de-
sires il to be.
Almost a parallel case is that of
veteran soldier we'll known in Kansas
City, "Peg Leg" Smith. Smith is
now in the Soldiers Home in Leaven-
worth. When in Kansas City he used
to run cigar wheel at the city hall
square.
Smith comes to Kansas City fre-
quently, and when here likes to go to
a shooting gallery on Walnut street
and shoot at the targets. He is good
shot and enjoys looking along rifle
barrel. Smith has the palsy in an
alarming degree. When he raises the
rifle and aims it at the target it jerks
around in such lively manner that
one would wager he could not hit the
side of house. But just as he is
about to pull the trigger his hand
steadies and the next instant the bell
rings. The palsied man has hit the
bulls eye.-Kansas City Star.

A Striking Feature of the Season.

Two striking features of the sea-
sons styles are delineated in the
large engraving in this handsome
costume of Hussar blue glove cloth,
viz, the blouse with revers that cross
in surplice fashion, and the single
rever on skirt meeting right rever on
waist to give the desired princess
effect.
The revers of white satin are over
laid with lace net, gathered frills
of soft blue tatfeta finishing the edges.
The blouse fronts are gracefully dis
posed over Innings fitted with the
usual bust darts, the seamless side
back and under arm cores rendering
glove fitting adjustment. The
stylish two-seamed sleeves are formed
in puffs by gathers at the top, and
three downward turning plaits at
each edge of the upper portion, small
round cuffs that correspond with the
revers finishing the wrists. A full
plastron and collar of taffeta closes
in centre back, showing to advantage
the four-in- hand tie of white NOUS
seline here worn. The belt droops
slightly in front, closing at the left
side with a mother OF pearl buckle.
SmodHl faced clothes, armure, hem
rietta, cashmere, serge, plain or mixed
light weight cheviots, or novelty
fabrics in silk or wool, will all de-
velop stylishly by the mode, contrast

DON'T WORRY.

Don't worry-though above your head
The threatening storm clouds meet,
The rainbow us of yore shall spread
Its sign Of promise sweet.
The flowers fed when winter gray
Proclaimed again his cruel sway.
Yet early blossoms smile and say,
"Don't worry"
Don't worry-though the noon-tide find
Your footsteps faltering,
The meals glad hopes left far behind;
The day its Joy shall bring.
When sunsets radiant curtains fall,
Sleeps angel, ready to the call
OF night, shall whisper low to all,
Don't worry"
Don't worry-though with little good
Your eager quest seem fraugnt.
He that hath striven as he could
Has striven as he ought,
Ask 2 OF how destiny was planned.
The little that we understand
Is eloquent with the command,
Don't worry"

Gingerbread For Soldiers.

The women who have been wanting
to do something to help or comfort the
men in camp will be glad to learn
with what enthusiasm the efforts OF
the women of Topeka, Kan, in this
direction were received by the volun-
teers stationed there. An immense
quantity of gingerbread was baked by
private individuals and sent to the
camp. Each soldier was given LOAF
of it, and their appreciation of this
gift from the women of Topeka was
loudly expressed.

THE REALM OF FASHION.


The skirt is cut in seven cores and
fits smoothly across the front and
over the hips, all the fulness at the
back being lail in deep plating to
give the fan effect. The rever which
make the only trimming, is attached
to the left front seam and lays over
smoothly upon the cloth.
To cut this waist for lady of
medium size q yards of material
forty-four inches wide will be re-
quired. To cut the skirt, which meas.
ures four yards at the lower edge, five
yards of forty-four inch material will

els your mistress at home?"

SIS your mistress at home?"
The gentleman who asked this ques-
tion of a stately butler at the door of
friend of the Royal academy, but he
was no longer gloomy and morose. He
was eager and excited So great was
the difference which this change of ex-.
preston made in his countenance that
he seemed another man.
Mrs. Marston is at home, sir.
What name?"
The butler looked at him little
askance.
''Never mind my name; show me
in"
There was an imperiousness about
his manner which conquered the but
ler, in spite of the deepening mystery.
The visitor was shown in silence
into the drawingroom, where lady
dressed in black, still young and
beautiful lady, but pale and thin, sat
with her head on her hand. Nellie
played at her feet, but the mother was
not paying any attention to the child.
"Gertrude!"
She sprang to her feet, and for
moment look of the most intense Joy
came into her face. She seemed rs if
she would have fallen into the arms
stretched out to her, but then suddenly
she recoiIed saying, with bitterness:
81 will not acknowledge for hus
band the man who disowns my child.
Perhaps he can't help being no
little girls papa" interceded Nellie.
"Disown her! Never! Did I dis
own her when [ found out?"
"You did few hours ago, and you
must have known. You said it to in
suit me-"
"Gertrude Gertrude How could
I even imagine?"
He caught up the child and kissed
her wildly, passionately.
''You might very easily, and if you
had ever troubled yourself even to
inquire whether was alive or dead
oh! to abandon me like that for one
word-one hasty word-it was cruel

"No, no, said Nellie, s'he's sorry
now. l am sure he's sorry now"
She patted his cheek, down which
the tears were running.
ooh, run away, child-run away!"
cried the mother ''No, I can't for
give you, Hugh, not even now you are
here, though the picture did bring you
i can't"
She was weeping now, and he was
kneeling at her knees, imploring her
forgiveness with broken sobs.
Nellie ran to tell the servants that
her papa had come home at last, but
mamma was angry with him because
he said he was not her papa.
'Oh, hush, Miss Nellie! cried the
nurse.
