Clothed in Postage Stamps.

Postage stamps to the number OF
10000 were used by Miss Antolnetts
Warlitz in making the fancy dress
which captured first prize at the Har-
monte masked ball in Baltimore the
other evening. Five weeks were
spent in stamp collecting and three
in making the dress, the foundation
of which was muslin. Miss Warlitz
appealed to her friends to help her
and her dress was completely covered
with stamps Of all nations.
In the center Of the front breadth
was an eagle, made of brown Colum-
bian stamps. Suspended from the
talons was a globe made of very old
two cent blue revenue stamps, the
meridans being outlined by the mar
row title borders cut from Columbian
stamps. On either side Of the globe
was an American flag, the stripes of
blue one-cent stamps and red two
cent stamps; the stars Of the blue
stamps
The foreign stamps were pasted on
the bodice in the form Of shield,
the center Of wtich was made up Of
portraits Of Washington cut from rev.
enue stamps.
A large Leghorn hat covered en-
tirely with red and blue stamps was
worn with the costume, and pink
mask, and round fan, covered with
the red stamps, was carried. Over
the shoulder was slung a tiny red
mail box, with the letters L. S. NJ. in
gilt on it.

Why Farmers Should Advertise.

Has 1t occurred to the average farm.
sr that if he had = COW, a horse, a doz-
en- hogs or a flock Of sheep to sell, that a
80 cent al. would reach hundreds of
people and probably be the means Of
sending him a dozen buyers Not on
" would the al be profitable to him
in disposing Of his stock Immediately
but it wonld be an advertisement TO
HIM for months Buyers who did not
want to purchase when the ad, ap'
peared would remember him and per-
haps visit him in the future. When
a farmer wants to sell horse or
COW, how does he advertise the fact ?
He tells his neighbor something like
this: "If you see anybody that wants
10 buy fine cow or q good horse,
send him around. This is as far as
farmers advertising goes, and nine
time. in ten the neighbor never thinks
of the Zine COW" or the good horse'
again. When anybody has anything
to sell, advertising will bring results
aud can be made profitable to the
farmer as well as to the merchant.

Was it the Mothers spirit'

Two weeks ago young married
woman died in Chsmbersburg who was
survived by husband and several
small children. Realizing that the
hand of death was upon her, life's
closing hours were filled with bitter
anguish at the thought of leaving her
dear little ones behind, for they were
all of tender years. And so she passed
away. But it was not until after her
remains had been placed beneath tie
ground that the children realized what
vacancy the grim monster had left
in the home, and then one, little
girl of four years, became inconsol-
able She wept bitterly for half
day and all efforts TO pacify her We're
futile. Finally she was LETT alone for
moment and then il seemed that her
little beart was breaking, but in
twinkling her sorrow was turned to
glAdness, Brushing away her tears.
che exclaimed "Oh, Mamma, how
beautiful you are And YOU have such
lovely wings !" There were older
people in the room adjoining and hear
ing the little one talking they went to
her. Joy was written on her counte-
nance and the tears had all disap-
peared. To all she firmly insisted
that she saw her mother and con-
versed with her and that her wings
were white as snow. Was that loving
mothers spirit lowering near p
Grcncdstle Echo Pilot.

Care of the Lips.

In cold weather many women neg
lect this important feature, allowing
their lips to become cracked, swollen
or di.cOlored. Perfect lips should look
soft and healthy, but not too red. Sit
ting too much by the fire and neglect
ing outdoor exercise are fatal to the
lips.
For pale lips the remedy lies in
strong iron tonics, plenty of milk and
outdoor exercise. A generous diet and
care Of the general health will bring
back the color.
Cosmetics will eventually ruin the
softness and texture of any lips.
Never rub them with strong scent,
vinegar or lemon. Avoid friction and
biting Of the lips. This only thickens
and swells them
Children should be taught the folly
of twisting their lips, and of stretching
the mouth open at the corners.
Women who wear wells should be
careful that their lips do not become
moist from the breath condensed on
the wells. Raise the wells occasional
ly, and dab the lips dry with a soft
cambrlc handkerchief.
For cracked lips, boro-glycenu rub
bed in several times day is good.
Pure glyserine will dry the skin too
much.
There are many harmless and heal
ing salyes that can be used on the
lips. Like all other remedies, some
are more suitable to one kind of lips
than to others. Dry lips want some
kind of remedy, while very moist lips
require quite another kind Of treat
ment. A very nice ointment for the
lips can be made Of five parts of olive
oil to one part Of pure white wax,
which must be heated over the fire IN
porcelain pan. A few drops of
tincture of beuzoir can be added if
wished.
Here is another excellent salye for
the same purpose: Oil of sweet al
monds, seven drachms; cocoa butter,
one drachm; orchanet, two drachms.
These must all be stirred and mixed
together over the fire, then strained
and skinned, and perfumed with a
little rose water. The best way to
keep these salves is to put them into
ornamental covered china jars, with a
piece of oiled paper over the top of
the salye to keep it fresh and clean.

How to Choose a Husband.

An experienced writer on this mo-
mentous question gives the following
wrinkles to the fair sex: "For man g
birth look to his linen and fnger-nails
and observe the infections Of his voice.
For his tastes, study the color Of his
ties, the pattern and hang ofhis trOus-
ers, his friends and his rings Of any.
For his propensities, walk round and
look carefully at the back Of his head,
and remember, girls, never marry a
man vhose neck bulges ever 90 little
over his collar, If you want a suc-
cessful man, see that he has neat
foot he will move quicker, get over
obstacles faster than a man who fallE
over his own toes, and trips up other
folks with EN-, too. For his breed
ing, talk sentiment to him when he is
starving, and ask him to carry band
box down the public street when you We
lust had a row. To test his temper
tell him his nose is little on one side,
and you don't ike the way bis hair
grows, and if that don't fetch him
nothing will.

Plucky Little Girls.

The Romney Reri>w says "On Sun
day last Dora, the little daughter Of
J. W. Cowgirl, who lives on the Win
chester pike, three miles from Forks Of
Capon, heard racket among the chick
ems and, running out, discovered a
large hawk on the ground with her pet
hen in it's tslons. The hen was making
a game fight and was about to escape
by slipping through hole in paling
fence around the yard. The little girl
made a dive for the hawk, and grab
bing both lts wings, jerked It back

against the fence. She called to her
sister, Eiie, aged seven, who came to
her assistance, and together they held
the bird by the wings until their moth

A remarkable surgical operation
was performed a few days ago at Sweet
Springs, No, on the thres-month'-old
child Of John Hamilton, which was
born with two heads. The abnormal
head, which was locsted back Of the
natural head, was removed and over
three ounces Of brain matter taken out.
The abnormal growth was nearly as
large as the natural, and there was
considerable doubt among the surgeons
az to the result. The surgeons now
say that the child will rapidly recover
and will be robust physically aud mem

fully increased our public credit has been
improved and strengthened, all sections
of our common country have been
brought together and knitted in,o closer
bonds Of national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for time da. kened
by the cloud Of war, but as We were COM
PEELED to take up the sword in the cause
of humanity. we are permitted to rejoice
that the conflict has been of brief dura-
ton, and the losses we have had TO mourn,
though grievous and important. have
been so few, considering the grea, results
accomplished, as to inspire us with graf
itude and praise 10 the Lord of L Jsts. We
may laud and magnify his molly name mat
the cessation of hostililies caine 81 soon
as to spare both sides the coun less sor
rows and disasters that attend protracted
war.

may be at sea or sojourning In foreign
lands, to set apart and observe Thursday
