A Royal Wardrobe.

The Dauphine was allowed a sum of
10000 livres for her dress alone; but
she never interfered in any way, and
everything was decided, without con-
sulting her. by the dame d'atour, who
ordered what was necessary according
to her own appreciation and settled the
bills of the tradesmen. At the end OF
the year she presented incomprehensi-
BILE accounts, which the Dauphine was
required to approve, with the result
that her expenses greatly exceeded the
allotted sum, through no fault of hers.
Mercy was called to the rescue and dis
covered the most absurd extravaganza.
For instance, three ellis of ribbon. to tic
the powdering gown of the Dauphine,
were put down daily; also several ellis
Of silk daily to cover the basket in
which her gloves and fan were depos-
tied, with many other items Of the
same kind, noted by Mercy in solemn
reprobation. With all this waste. the
arrangements about her were strangely
deficient in comfort.-Anna L. Bicknell,

may lay to that"
We could see the man who carried the
flag of truce attempting to hold Sill
yer back, nor was that wonderful, see
ing how cavalier had been the cap
tain's answer. But Silver laughed at
him aloud, and slapped him on the
back, as if the idea of alarm had been
absurd. Then he advanced to the
stockade, threw over his crutch, got a
leg up, and with great vigor and sldll,
succeeded in surmounting the fence
and dropping safely to the other side.
will confess that l was far too much
taken up with what was going on to
be of the slightest use as sentry; in
deed, I had already deserted my eastern
loophole and crept up behind the cap
tain, who had now seated himself on the
Threshold with his elbows on his knees,
his head in his hands, and his eyes fixed
on the water as it bubbled out of the
old iron kettle in the sand. He was
whistling to himself: "Come, Lasses
and Lads"
Silver had terrible hard work get
ting up the knoll. With the steepness
of the incline, the thick t~ee stumps,
and the soft sand, he and his crutch
were as helpless as ship in stays. But
he stuck to it like a man in silence, and
at last arrived before the captain, whom
he saluted in the handsomest style.
He was tricked out in his best; an i'm
mense blue coat, thick with brass but
tons, hung as low as to his knees, and
a fine laced hat was set on the back OF
his head.
Here you are, my man." said the
captain, raising his head. "You had
better sit down"
"You amt a-going to let me inside,
cap'n. It's a main cold morning, to be
sure, sir, to sit outside upon the sand"

Yenow-CoIored Glasses.

Hitherto workmen and others who
had to bear very strong white light n
their work or profession have been in
tie habit of wearing blue glasses to re-
lieve their eyes from the possibility of
being blinded. This is the case with
sailors who operate the powerful
searchlights that are now so necessary
an adjunct to the war vessels and COM
mercal craft, especially if their eyes
happen to be blue or gray. But recent
ly it has been demonstrated that yell
low-colored glasses will serve their
purpose better, and it is expected that
they will be used hereafter.

THE MAN IN THE CAB.

Safe and snug In the sleeping car
Are father and mother and dreaming
child.
The night outside. shows never a star.
For the storm is thick and the wind Is
wild.
The frenzied train In its all-night race
Holds many a soul in its fragile walls,
While up In his cab with a smoked-stalned
face.
Is the man in the greasy overalls
Through the fire-box door the heat glows
white,
The steam is kissing at all the cocks;
The pistons dance and the drive-wheels
Smite
The trembling rails till the whole earth
rocks,
But never searching eye could trace
Though the night is black and the speed
appals-
A line of fear in the smoke-stained face
OF the man in the greasy overalls.
No halting, wavering coward he,
AS he lashes his engine around the curve.
But a peace-encompassed Grant or Lee,
With a heart of oak and an iron nerve.
And so l ask that you make place
In the Temple to Heroes sacred halls
Where L may hang the smoke-stained
faced
OF the man In the greasy overalls.

When Bntn. were Noy.,t,e.

Although in classic times the bath
features of life, yet in the medieval days
so had things changed-a lady's toilet,
if not by any means thing of brief
or slight matter, had very little to do
with the bath. When her hair was
pomaded and braided with jewels and
her headc-ass, her gowns and gear were
arranged, the thing was done. Nor was
there much bathing done in the days
of rouge and patches. Even less than
100 years ago the habit of frequently
bathing the entire person was called by
good, old careful housewives a nasty
French fashion. Leisure Hours.

To make maple sugar candy break one pound of maple sugar into small pieces and put into granite pan with two cups of milk. Place over the fire and cook until the milk is boiling and the sugar is entirely dissolved. Then stir the mixture with a wooden spoon and keep it boiling until, when it is tested in cold water, it is crisp and cracks when hit. Add piece of butter of the size of walnut and turn the mix ture into buttered pans. When it is partly cool take a sharp knife and mark the candy into squares.-N. '. Tribune.

FrmlNlnF SUICIDES.

Women Take Poison Where Dleu shoot
 ThenaseIverB-
 Statistical tables yield curious in formation to the careful student, says the Philadelphia Times. For instance, hey show that over one-third of the women who kill themselves are not yet s5 years of age. They show that women take poison, where men shoot them selves. and they show that the poor, sick and the infrm are not by any kind of reckoning in the majority. A phy- sician who makes study of attempted suicide said this:
 "Get a girl past 25 and she'll go through poverty, Sickness and desertion and misery enough to kill ten men. The more people suffer the more they cling to life. I've seen it in the hospitals. It is not the patients with the incrlrable diseases or the hopeless >cripples who beg to die, but the young, strong, vital woman, who hates pain and doesn't want to suffer it, even for the chance of getting well. It is a strange thing, this getting of girl past 25, but not uncommon. Any physician with large family practice will tell you of a dozen cases in his own circle of knowledge. Sometimes it is called pyromania, some times kleptomania, sometimes catalep- sy, sometimes hysteria, sometimes teigning and sometimes tantrums-it s all the same thing nothing else to do.' Another physician told of girl who committed suicide and who left a note stating that her reason was that she was tired of doing the same things over and over every day. The nionotony o1 life had become unbearable to her. >

The Bore Who Talks About His
 Health or Ailments.
 A group of men were talking in a ho-' tel corridor uptown recently when a man with dark beard and rather long hair entered. The members of the group began to scamper away instant ly, and it was a curious fact that not one remained to exchange greetings with the new arrival, although they all knew him intimately.
 Col. David F. Harbaugh, who came from Ohio and knows President Me Kinley and all the big orators and statesmen, explained why 1t was that they all avoided the man.
 That man is gentleman and a scholar, but be is the most unmitigated bore that ever wore out the patience of his friends. He should read Don't which says: Don't aftiict others with your troubles But he can be cured"
 What is the remedy7"
 ''It is drastic and may result in un-- pleasantness at first, but some close friend should do it. I had friend whose mania was talking about his health. He looked strong, ate three or four meals a day, smoked big, black cigars, and yet his hypochondriacal T1onolegues were unendurable. Every morning he came to my office and for an hour would tell me how many times he sneezed before breakfast, what he took to prevent a repetition of the sneeziHg, how he imagined that some day Indigestion might opertake him, and lot Of other things not at all en- tertaininP. I bore this for six months.- until l lost my appetite and almost got sick. But one day I ran away and left him"

 No; l advised him to stop talking about his alleged illness. told him, which was true, that he was talented and entertaining on any other subject, and as friend 1 begged him to cease being bore. At first he was indignant, but he thanked me for my frankness finally and said he would reform. He belonged to class ot men who have conversational paresis and who will talk for hours without tencouragement." IN I. Commercial Advertiser.

 It is said that 95 out of every 100 persons who go to sea suffer more or less from seasickness, and, talk ing the world over, there are prob ably thousands at this very mo- ment who are in abject misery from shis cause. Yet few are deterred- by this fact from going to sea, even though their own previous experience teaches them that they must inevitably suffer. As with some other states of temporary distress, so with seasick- ness; when once it is over, the memory of it grows dim, and we recklessly incur the risk again, realizing our folly only when it is too late to stop the boat.
 Although so serious a malady to the sufferer, it is very rare that death re- suits from it. Delicate women have made voyages ot several weaRs, dura- tion, suffering every minute oI tle way, and rejecting apparently every swallow of food; yet, terra trma once reached, appetite returns, and after few days. no trace of suffering remains
