GIFTS FOR THE JUNE BRIDE,

In q fow days the invitations for June
weddings will begin to arrive Then the
question for the recipients of such favors
to decide will be what to give the bride.
Something new and something pretty, Of
course. But just what? That Is the
question.
Engraved or cut tamblers or glasses arc
useful as we'll as beautiful gift Some
exquisite roses are to be seen in the shops,
showing In their tall slender proportions
the prism cut so appropriate for this form
OF ornament.
Young people who intend to keep house
want lots Of pretty pictures to help fur
nish. Individual taste dictates largely in
the selection Of such gifts. However, from
tho number of beautiful etohings, en-.
cravings and paintings in oil or water
colOrs any ono ought to DO able to please
by the gifts of picture of some kind.
A fine LAMP of china, bronze or brass
makes beautiful and useful wedding
present. Some bold and striking conceits
are seen this year In the bronze lamps.
Jewels set in the globes are very effective.
Porcelain and glass princess lamps for tea
and reception tables or for general orna-
mentation arc very acceptable.
In making selection of clock for the
bride-eect one hos to choose from many
kinds, makes. shapes AID materials, and
from sizes that run from tho tiny gilt
clock with the jewel encircled face to the
big "grandfathers clock" for the hall cor
ner or stairway. Some Of the clocks Of
Mexican onyx are particularly beautiful.
French gilt clocks, with blue and green
enamel and floral geometrical designs are
general favorites.

A farm in one of the western Hamp-
shire towns was sold about fifty years
ago for $4,000. The man who bought
1t built new house on 1t at cost OF
$780, At his death the farm was
sold for 5000. This purchaser built
new barn at a cost of $500 and died af-
ter a few years, when the farm of 100
acres, with house and barn costing
s1,7O0, was sold for $500. The land
is as productive as any in Northamp-
ton meadows. Where has the value of
that farm gone to? The man who
once lived on it was telling this story
while sitting on the court house rail-
ing the other day. He was looking at
the stores on Shop row. ut has gone
In there and other places like this"
he said. 1.-THE farms have gone down
in value and the value of the real estate
In the centers has gone up. No one
wants to stay on the farm and work
the boys all want to get in to the CEN
tiers where there is more going on, and
where there is less hard work and
better pay. And J. don't blame them-a
single Bit"

Troubles of tho Chinese Emperor,

The Emperor of China is a very
highly educated man, and he is espec-
tally learned in the maxims of Con-
fucius, on which all Chinese rules of
morals, philosophy and jurisprudence
are based. Ten years ago he UNDER
took to study the British language, and
an American missionary was invited
to become his teacher, but no was
warned that he must always bring
some one with him, for no man is ever
allowed to see the Son of Heaven alone.
The Emperor is very skilful with the
bow, and of late years he has prac-
ticed great deal with the rifle. Like
his fellow sovereigns of Europe, the
Emperor has anything but an easy life
Of 1t. When Ii Hung Chang returned
to Pekin after his travels round the
world, the Emperor heard him read his
report of all that had occurred to him
through one long night.
