DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, December 29.-The
market has been without new feature
in any department to-day. Buyers are
doing no more than necessary to carry
them along, and there is no pressue
on the part of sellers in either staples
or fancy lines of cotton of wooden
goods. Print cloths inactive for regu-
lars but rather more demand for odds
at previous prices. Linens still scarce
and strong. Burlaps quiet but firm in
price. with limited supplies.

She Graves Love.

How hard it is to make a man under
stand that his wife appreciates little po-
lite attentions from him more than all
the gifts he can possibly buy her.
10 quote the costermonger, whose
knowledge of human nature we must all
admit is keen and convincing, Its not
so much what e says, as the narsty way
says IT. The tone, the impa tient look
are chilling to the spontaieity of affection
which women are all too ready to bestow,
put which freezes cold and solid under
the blighting influences of mans man.
ner.
OF course the masculine argument is
that there is no occasion for woman
to droop and pine when she has every
thing that the world can give her, but
now little he is able to gauge the long
ing that lies in her heart for those trifling
items that the world cannot give her, that
giving costs him nothing, but makes her
rich indeed, so rich that she can smil-
!ngly look misfortune in the face, rejoice
III sacrifice, soar superior to every trial
and regard her lot the happiest among
mortals.
:. In the rush and hurry of his business
ire man forgets the curt reply, the
Drusque criticism or the absolute indif-
ference INDUCED in by him before leaving
iol lily udy WORK. MOI so with the WOm-
an. Busy though she may be in her do
nestle affairs, she carries heavy heart
with her from one task to another and
the ready tears well to her eyes at the
thought of what the man has forgotten
an about by that time. Had he given
ner word OF praise, lOver-like look.
nothing would seem hard or trying either
to hands or brain. If men could only
understand that the women they love are
like flowers, susceptible to every chill, but
responding gratefully to every mark of
attention. good manners would be worn
more in the home relations of life. and
there would be many happier women than
at the present time exist. ~s.-F

spares no trouble in wedding prepara-
lions, a few flowers should be ready for
each, also pretty little dish of confec-
tons. In serving the substantials it is
very nice to place on each one Of the
tables plate of sandwiches, which la
ter, when the ices are served, may be re-.
placed with plate filled with assorted
cut cake. =
In serving guests at an evening wed
ding the buffet plan solves the problem
of room. This plan prescrbes a table
Of ordinary size (round or square,. beau
tifully laid with finest cloth, and contain
ing the brides cake, other cut cake, salt
ed almonds, choice CONNECTIONS in pretty
holders, and perhaps fruit with a center
piece OF flowers and decorations of rib
bons. An appropriate arrangement for
June wedding feast would be a very
tall, slender cut glass vase holding long
stemmed roses in sufficient quantity to
bend in graceful arch above. Such Il
centerpiece does not obstruct the view
across the table because of it's slimness,
Ii any caution is necessary in regard
to the use Of flowers as a table decora-
ton. it Is to avoid OVERRIDING that fea-
ture, and never to select those with q
heavy odor. Chairs are placed around
tho four sides of the room, and the guests
are served from the pantry and kitchen,
only the articles above named being
served from the table. The bridal party
and MS many more as can be seated 20
in first, all the other guests being served
IN succession as space permits.-EIla

Travelling in Alaska.

l have seen many pictures of the man
ner in which the Esquimaus travel. and
the man is generally comfortably seated
on the sled cracking whip, and the
dogs are going at a smart gallops but
we soon found that picture to be delu-
sion and a snare. Journsyins in the
Arctic regions consists mostly in pushing
behind the sled, for the poor little ami
mails frequently have to be helped over
the rough places and in going uphill or
any rise in the ground. Where there is
no beaten trail-as was the case most of
the distance we traveled-the dogs have
nothing to guide them, and one man is
obliged to rum ahead. He generally runs .
some distance, and then walks until the
head Of the team comes up with him,
when he runs on again. When the snow
is hard and the road level the dogs, with
an average load. will maintain -trot
which is too fast for a man to walk, and
not so fast as he can run. BY alternately
running and walking, one does not be-
come greatly fatigued. Natives who
travel from village to village are so ac-
customed to this mode of travel that
they can keep it up all day without show
ing signs Of fatigue,-Harper's Magazine.

The young girl who wants to be old

first gray hair liz the signal for rebellion
on the part of its owner, and she begins
by plucking it ruthlessly out, declaring
in that very action that she will not

say about it. When an army of other
white soldiers join the first one she over
powers them with hair regenerators or
wigs until the sweet-faced, gray-haired
old lady is lost in sort of comic valen-

mother, teaches her children's children
to call her auntie, and in Il hundred other
ways loses the sweets of the season that
are hers in a vain struggle to retain the
one that has vanished. If she would
but set herself cheerfully to work on

A Chair with a History.

The coronation chair in which the mon
archs of Great Britain sit to be crowned
has wonderful history. It's appearance
is common enough-it being to the out
ward eye just a simply made old oak
chair and nothing else: but its value lies
in the fact that for more than 700 years
the sovereigns of England have occu-
pied 1t at their coronation. 1t is black
with age and almost as hard as iron.
Strange as the history of this quaint
ora chalr may be, that of the stone which
mis- IS piece of rough sandstone, and is
believed by many to be the identical
stone upon which the patriarch Jacob
rested his head during his famous dream.
One may be 10th to believe this; but the
fact that the stone was the coronation
seat of the early kings and queens of
Scotland before it was adorned for the
use of the English Tudors and Stuarts,
is an ihdiSuutdble fact. '' ''

Earning Mans Wages.

The fact that others shirk is a poor

The Young Peoples Weekly prints the
followin anecdote about a boy who
was an honest worker: ~,
One day, after severe storm, large
number Of men and boys were out Oh th4

the drifts. Each workman was paid a
quarter Of a dollar an hour, and, as may
be supposed, there was nG very strict
watch kept upon them; but one little feI-
low seemed to be working with all his
might, and his comrades laughed at him
"Why, Jim, are you after the job of
highway surveyor, or do you expect to
get more than the rest Of us for putting
in 500"
Lets put him out; he is shortening
our job; twOn't last till night, at this
rate" laughed another.
Il am getting mans pay for the first
time IN my life, and mean to earn it,
said Jim. II don't suppose the town
cares. nor that shall get any NOR.
money at night, but l shall feel a biz
sight better myself"
You've begun right, JIM" said the
surveyor, who was not very strict in be-
half of the town, perhaps, but had Il
business of his own, where he appreci-
ated workmen with a conscience.
