CARELESS SPEECH.
1t Is Better to Speak Well of People
Than to Speak Ill
of Them.

The habit-for it is often nothing
more-of deteriorating speech is so
common that it would be well for all
of US to stop and think about it.
This sort of thing is so often heard:
81 don't think she is so very pretty as
people say" or, Il don't think he (or
she) is so very clever"-or economical,
or stylish, or bright, or cheerful, or a
thousand other things. We do not
stop to think that while perhaps we
do not think her so very pretty as we
have heard, we do think her pretty;
and, again, if not very clever, surely
interesting, and all the others in like
measure. 1t is merely a habit with
many people, not s~kin-deep, but just
the cruel and unfortunate habit of
depreciating speech. A woman with
a sharp tongue, but with the tender
est of hearts, the most generous of ma
lures, but with q keenly critical mind
and a rare intuition as TO character,
was brought up "all standing" as she
expressed it, after she had been talk
ing one day with a friend about sew
eral people, and before a young girl
who was visiting the friend.
In a sudden lulI in the talk the girl
said, as if by uncomfortable impulse:
Don't you like anybody" what do
you mean?" said the startled wom-
an. The girl blushed and hesitated,
and then said: please pardon me,
but 1t seemed So" Little more was
said; it was passed off and passed by,
as N the polite world things that are
unpleasant are passed over; but into
the heart of that woman the criti-
cism sank deeply, and from hat hour
she watched and guarded her tongue.
Now she does not depreciate in speech,
and, if she cannot appreciate. is 81
lent. II is well to remember the wise
words of Emerson: Omit the negative
propositions. Don't waste yourself
in rejection nor bark against the bad,
but chant the beauty of the good"
What a changed and better world we
should all live in if we only followed
that advice.-Harper's Bazaar.

iIinit.

A farmer has discovered a product
to which the name of 'alinit" is given.
1t is "a germ of the soil which causes
the nitrogen in the air to enter into
chemical combinations especially
adapted to the nOurishment of
cereals" A series Of experiments
have been conducted with this prod
net, resulting in from ten to thirty
per cent. more yield than has been
possible under ordinary treatment.
"Alinit" is, in fact, supposed to be the
bacteria of putrefaction. When de-
composing matter is placed in con-
tact with the roots of growing plants,
tiny rootlets are thrown out. These
are provided with small mouths or
suckers, which industriously set to
work to absorb the valuable material.
Whoever has unearthed partly de-
cayed wood or bone has been inter-
csted in observing the enormous num-
Der of little rootlets that have at
tached themselves to these bits of de-
caying material. The Office of "alinit"
is to furnish what one might call
partly digested food for plants. Sure
~ if the rootlets can draw upon sub
stances rich in the elements they de-
mand they will increase more rapidly
in growth and value than when raised
by ordinary processes.-N. Y. Ledger.

Uses of Charcoal.

Foul water is purified by it.
Tainted meat can be sweetened by
its use.
No better known disinfectant can
be used.
Charcoal is so porous that it absorbs
and c~ondenses gases rapidly.
Strewn over the skins of birds and
animals it will prevent all unpleasant
odors.
\ teaspoonful added to a half a
glass of water is n remedy for acidity
of the stomach and often relieves sick
headache.
1t absorbs the gases and relieves the
distended stomach pressing against
the nerves which extend from the
stomach to the head.
Charcoal laid on a burn causes the
pain to abate Immediately, and by
renewing the application will heal and
cure-if it is not deep-in a few days.

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Notes Gathered o h Information
of Ladies Who Follow
the Styles.

Grace-loying French women declare
that the fad for founced skirts has
gone too far, and that they have eve
approved of the fashion.
There is infinite variety in the new
veilings for autumn wear. All take
the direction of closest small spots.
The most becoming have a ground
work of gray or white with black
chenille dots, but the newest design is
of black silk net with lace sprays in
cream or white, with a border to
match. The veilings with chenille dots
grouped in sets of three, five or seven
have not met with favor, as they tend
to give the wearer an uncanny appear
ance.
Short red jackets made of light
cloth are being much worn with white
duck suits by those fortunate enough
to be in the mountains or by the sea.
Crystal buttons trim the sweet little
coats.
Many of the gowns of the immediate
future will fasten at the back. The
woman who does not have some n
to help her will find this an incon-
venient style. But those who keep
up with the procession of the well
dressed must expect to be inconven-
fenced. The princess gown owes its
charm to this arrangement in a great
measure. Word has come from Paris
that we must prepare for the return
of buttons; and wonderful buttons
they are, too. Large stones, canoes,
emeralds and amethysts, diamond
shaped, oval, and square, are to be
used extensively as the season adj
RANGES.
Partisan manufacturers are turning
out epaulettes with fringes hanging
to the waist anddeep louncesof fringe
are being woven to hang from the
knees to the hem of the skirt.
White stockings are coming rapid
ly into fashion again in France and
are considered quite smart with light
gowns.
The ordinary foulard nearly covered
with a white design has been extreme
" fashionable this season, but for
early autumn wear satin foulard in
the most exquisite new tints, with
small white or cream designs, is TAX
ing its place. The satin foulard is far
richer looking than the other and
wears twice as well.-N. Y. Sun.

Move after move and vantage after
vantage was greeted with deafening
applause by the friends of the crews.
So far honors were easy, both parties
playing with equal skill and perse-
verance. just as it seemed that the
victory would be V~andegriff's, an IN
foreseen thing happened. The captain
of the 'Gentilhommes" stumbled and
fell, and his friends of the "Benares"
yer those who said that Charlie
V~andegriff's fall had been premedi-
tated, but in the excitement few gave
credence TO it. 1t vas regarded as
one of those unlucky happenings
which often rob the expected of its
fulfllment. When young West re-
turned to look after his sister, Mildred,
he found her with flushed face and
tears in her eyes. Mat Dunstrow, the
brother of the victor, was in the box
with her. The captain of the "Benares"
was not far away receiving the con-
CALCULATIONS of a beautiful, naughty
girl in pink, between WHOM and Mil
dred West there had been much jeal-
ousy and feeling since a certain night
in the winter, when the beauty in pink
tried her best to anchor to her side
Charlie V~andegriff.
How did it happen?" ruefully asked
Mildred, as her brother approached.
Sold Quit" whispered the latter in
return. We've been mistaken in him,
after ALL"
The words stung the girl to the
quick. She could not believe that her
beau ideal, the man she loved, had
been guilty of such a thing. But the
evidence seemed against him. Frank
West was among those who had heard
him make that promise to Mat on the
night before the game: I'll do it. you
may depend upon it," Mat was the
victor's brother. and the hero Of the
gridiron had always been an ardent
admirer of Claudine Pratt. the girl in
pink. She was as anxious for him to
win the game. as Mildred was for
Charlie. Why should the latter throw
away the victory, unless it was for
money? To Frank this seemed clear,
for he was very near Vandegriff. when
the latter by that unfortunate STUN
bic released his grasp on a game that
was already his. Had there been an
obstacle that caused this misfortune
Frank could not have failed to see it.
Late in the night, when the dance
which had been arranged for the en-
tertainment of the students and their
friends came to an end, Frank and
his sister FASTENED homeward through
the little grove that led past Charities
lodgings. They had not seen much Of
the latter during the evening, in fact,
he had rather avoided them. Mildred
suffered keenly. and Franks disap-
pointment was also exceedingly plain
to all who came in contact with him.
Silently the W. pursued their way,
when they were arrested by voices
