AsTRAy.

There was man. it was said one time Who went astray in his youthful prime Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep
 quiet,
 when the blood is river that's running riot And boys will be boys, the old folks say, And mans the better who's had his day The sinner reformed; and the preacher told Of the prodigal son who came back to the fold And Christian people threw open the door, With warmer welcome than ever before; Wealth and honor were his to command, And a spotless woman gave hlm her hand. And the world strewed their pathway with
 flowers abloom,
 Crying, God bless lady and God bless grooml There was a maiden who went astray In the golden dawn of her lifes young day. She had more passion and heart than head And she followed blindly where fond love led And love unchecked is a dangerous guide To wander at will by fair girls side. The woman repented and turned from sin, But no door opened to let her in; The preacher prayed that she might be forgiven And told her to look for place iE heaven. For this is the law of the earth, we know, That woman is stoned while the man may go. brave man welded her after all, But the world said, frowning,we shall not call.

From Sire to Son.

Colonel Merritt the insurance man, is inclined to be profane He acquired the habit along with his military title, that IS, ne just picked it up. Natur- ally the colonels 4-year-old son picks up such oaths as are dropped around the house, and slows them away for future use. The result is that a dis play of his precocity usually results in much modification and embarrass- ment. Mrs Merritt protests but the colonel only laughs
 The other day the boy called down stairs to his father:
 Pa Oh, pa
 s'What is it, son?'
 ssYou're a d-d old fool !''
 The next moment Mrs. Merritt had hold of the youngster, administering a mild correction with the back of a hair brush
 Don't whip him, Mary shouted the colonel aHe doesn't know any better"
 He knows too much, retorted Mrs. Merritt, and the colonel is wondering if she isn't more than half right. FIX.

THE SICK CHAMBER.
Some suggestions to Its Proper
Care.

In spite of all that is written and said
in favor of rugs for chambers, there are
conservative people who adhere to the
'all-over' tackled down carpet. In
time of illness in the family il is a
problem with many housekeepers of
this class how to keep the carpet of the
sick chamber clean without raising
dust. With the wish father to the
thought" some put off the sweeping,
hoping that the patient may soon be
we'll and out of bed. This, however, is
most imprudent, as meanwhile, the ac-
cumulations of dust thicken, and if the
patient should become worse instead of
better the inevitable cleaning must be
done, and not without some vigorous,
dust-raising strokes of the broom.
1t is much better to begin in time by
wiping the carpet with a damp cloth or
sponge-the latter is the best. Redip
the sponge frequently in clean water
containing a few drops of ammonia,
squeeze as dry as possible, and rub
well both sides of the nap if it be a
brussels carpet; then wipe with dry,
soft cloth, and the carpet will lie sweet
and fresh, all the dust having been
transferred to the water. If the room
is very dirty a carpet sweeper might be
run over it before the wiping, provided
the noise does not distress the invalid.
But generally the sponging will be
found sufficient. The woodwork and
furniture of the room may be treated
in the same manner, except that the
ammonia may be left out where var
nished furniture is to be touched. But
the secret of success with this method
is not to let the room remain long with
out attention. Every few days the proc
ess should be repeated to keep dust
from gathering.--Ladies' World.

NEW FAD FOR GoLD-SEEKERs
Collections of Nuggets the Latest
Thing.

Collecting gold nuggets is fad for
which the Klondike craze is answer
able. So many miners are now going
around exhibiting gold with the un-
concern of those who are familiar with
it as ordinary people are with common
pebbles, that a new fad has developed
in consequence Each man wants to be
able to show "A finer collection than his
neighbor. This competition has result
ed in some especially fine collections
of gold in the rough being gathered
into the possession of single indiyidu-
ais, but none ever seen cav surpass or
equal the collection in the possession
of two brothers named Conrad, who are
business men in Helena, Mont.
The Conrad nuggets have been taken
from various mines, and are all worth
high prices. The largest nugget in the
collection is valued at $685., and no
larger has ever been taken from mine
in America, according to the best rec
ords ON the subject. 1t was said that
one was taken out of Nelson guleh
once that was valued at $1,000, but il
it ever existed it found its way to the
melting pot so rapidly that no one to-
day is able to swear positively that he
ever saw it. Another story tells of a
81, 700 nugget, but this one, too, is not
to be found. The big nugget in the
Conrad collection came from the Snow
Shoe diggings, having originally been
bought from miner named Price.
The nugget next in value is worth
$500, and is one of the purest specimens
of gold in existence. 1t came from
Uncle Bens gulch, and found its way
in the Conrad brothers collection after
many years stay in the strong box OF
a Montana banker. One nugget, worth
$3.50, came from Scratch Gravel, where
it was dug up by a miner who had de-
SPARED of ever finding anything worth
carrying away in the mine he owned.
He thought his fortune was made when
he struck the $3.50 nugget, but this was
the first and last rich strike ever made
in the mine.
Some of the larger nuggets in the coli
lection come from Highland mine, near
Whitehall, and another consignment
is from the Nevada creek placers, rich
mining property owned by W. b,
Raleigh.
One of the biggest nuggets has an in
teresting history. 1t was so big that it
was overlooked altogether. The min
ers not being prepared for the sight of
so rich a find all at once, threw it out
of the boxes with the forkings, but il
refused to be treated so ignominiously1
and continued to attract attention by
its cleaning light until found and
added to the days profits by the miners.

PIratcs of the PNramIds.

In taking the visitor to the top the
rascals wait till they get him about
half way up on some particularly
'skeery" portion of the ascent, obvious
ly what the latter-day novelists call the
psychological momens and make a
unanimous demand for baksheesh. One
does not feel like begrudging a few
piastres at such moment. Your glance
strays uneasily down the appalling
length and breadth of that huge, steep
stairway of jagged powders, and you
shudderingly wonder how many pias-
tres it would take for repairs to your
anatomy if you were to take an i'm
promptu toboggan slide to the bottom.
10 keep up their enthusiasm and give
them an object in getting you back
alive, you promise them something.
You find the whole village waiting for
you with open palms at the bottom.
they swarm over you like Siberian
wolves on belated traveller, whine and
bully you out of all your change, your
last cigarette, everything you've got,
and then nearly mob you for not hav-
ing more. You shake off the last of your
pursuers at the door of the hotel, pull
yourself together with sigh of relief,
and journey homeward, vowing that
things will be largely otherwise and
better managed before you appear amid
the pyramids again.-Sphinx.

DRESS MATERIALS.
Some New Notions In Dress for the
Ladies.

Fashions are said to be established in
Paris by collaboration of the dress
makers who criticise and help each 9TH
err in bringing out the best effects for
a new design. Others believe that the
manufacturers are the real designers,
for they are responsible for the class
of goods put on the market, and the
dressmakers are thus compelled to de-
wise a proper way to use the materials.
Satin, as having greater luster than
silk, is chosen for the underdress of the
organdie and gauze dresses now being
made for the summer. 1t is claimed,
too, that satin will be the most suitable
material for the sheath skirt. Taffeta
is too light in weight and too bouffante.
The satin merveilleuse once so fashion
able, makes the most durable of all
skirts, whether for an outer or an under
dress.
Plaids now appear in ginghams and
claim share of the popularity given to
the same designs shown in wool and
silk goods. Some pretty patterns are
seen also in organdies and lawns, and
in delicate tints of the same color as
well as in the real tartan.
A zouave jacket of gold-embroidered
white cloth has a frill all around it of
brown chiffon, and this is made to fall
in full jabots, which are extended to
the belt. Such a jacket may be worn
with different skirts, and looks especial
ly well with pale tan-colored cloth.
From all appearances, it will be the
exception this spring or summer, to find
gown without a silk or ribbon sash.
Even the tailor-made gowns, it is pre-
dicted, will be worn with ribbon tie or
stock.
In silks, tatfeta still holds its place.
Four yards of plain tatfeta are required
for tucked yoke collar, folded belt
and two long sash ends, to fall from a
rosette or small bow. Turquoise,
burned orange, pink, white, cherry and
black are most in evidence.-N Y. Trib-
une.
