Keeping Engagem en- to.

II know young girl who is SO punctil-
where" said lady not long since. "She
always keeps her appointments to the
minute, never forgets her engagements,
and is always to be depended upon. She
is very popular with young and old, and
there is little doubt that she owes much
to this most praiseworthy attribute" In
matter of invitations. the least one can
do to show their appreciation of the
courtesy extended them is to be prompt.

kissing the Baby.

Some people seem to think they have q
perfect right to kiss every child they
take a notion to. In the first place
many diseases are carried by kissing, so
ON that score it is best to be careful.
And in the second place babies have
preferences as we'll as grown people,
We would not like to be compelled to
kiss everybody who took fancy to kiss
nothing like ''lnother's kiss" If baby
falls and hurts himself he runs to
mamma SO that she may kiss the place
and make it well. If he is tired and
fretful, to he taken up in mothers arms
and fondled and caressed will make the
little heart glad. Oh! mothers be gentle
and tender to the babies.

New Bird es IN u ids Gloves.

Il One Of the oddities of the season in the
way Of things matrimonial are the new
bridesmaids gloves of white or pearl
gray suede that are SO long they reach
quite comfortably up to the shoulder, and
there by few buttons can be attached
to the shoulder straps, says an exchange.
They are meant to form sleeve, and
from the wrist to armhole wrinkle up
slightly. Others are to be had quite
long, but buttoning the whole way up
quite smoothly, with close-set round gilt
bullets. Fans, and feather ones at that,
fill the hands of nearly all the brides

We're u jolly old couple, our hair Is gray, :

Our lifehoat drifts on Times tranquil tide,
While from trouble and care we're free.
Our steps are slow and our frames are
bent
There's u mist DER our dim old eyes;
Yet cheerful we travel, hand In hand, -,
Meath pleasant or stormy skies. g.
Many long years we've journeyed on,
And the end We can almost see:
But were ready to 60 when the Master calls
My dear old man and me.
Seventy years We struggled on,
Anu trials We're not few:
We raised our family best we could,
TIL each boy into manhood grew.
Then they turned from the threshold worn,
Afar thro' the world to foam,
TIL the last loved one had passed away
From the silent and lonesome home.
Three welded mates their young hearts
chose,
Two travel the restless sea-
So we live In the old house all alone,
My dear old man and me.
We chat DER the scenes of youthful days,
And we laugh right merrily,
Ger our cups of fragrant tea;
For love dies not like the soft dark tress
Or the roses In cheeks bright glow.
All, our hearts are just as warm today
AS they were In the long ago:
Together We stand on the mystic shore
OF eternlty's solemn sen,
And we trust we will safely cross to Him,
My dear old man and me.

it was very different. The liehen, the
moss, the fern, the shrub, had all done
their work. At last the day Of the pine
had come. Year after year it grew and

away. Though the pine was always

Consult Children's Food Taste.

Rich and highly-seasoned foods are al
ways injurious to children, but on the
other hand the tasteless porridges that
the harder youngsters of our fore
fathers days relished after their out
door work and play is not the sort of
nourishment for our more nervous chill
dren. Taste plays part in digestion.
What is relished is-other things being

Acknowledging Invitations.

The English fashion of acknowledging
an invitation to Il church wedding by
writing a note of regret or acceptance
is rapidly obtaining here, the card alone
left for the brides mother being counted
as bad form. There may be hundred
reasons why you are not asked to the
house-because of it's size, because a
large collation. is not spread or for any or
all reasons-but you must never con-
clude that you are omitted because you
lack position. Your formal note of ac-
acknowledgement should be sent in proper
time by mail.

GOLD SCARCE ABROAD.
European Banks All Trying Z,
Strengthen Their Reserve.

Copyright. 1899. by the Associated Press
LONDON, June 24.-The anxiety as to the
question of inadequacy of the gold reserve
of the Bank of England resulted in the Cen
tral Association of Bankers meeting yester-
day referring the subject TO a committee for
an early report. The rise in the discount
rate OF the Reichsbank, the efforts of Ger
many to attract the gold, the expectation
that money will be dear in the United
States before the end of September. and the
determination of the Bank of France to
protect its gold reserve. have all accentu-
ated the situation. The Statist says: while
money continues cheaper in the United
States than expected, and banks are ex-
ceptionally strong, 1t is improbable that a
stringency can be prevented In view of the
active trade, enormous speculation and in
creasing expenditure in the Philippines for
the army and navy. In that case America
will withdraw gold from Europe instead Of
sending 1t hither. as now.'

Friends of the Prisoner Say They In

BREST, France. June A-Captain Drey-
fus will not arrive here until Sunday even
ing at the earliest. This was the latest
news that was circulated in Brest on the
receipt of the announcement that the cruis-
er Sfax had passed Madeira yesterday. The
population of the city continues 10 maintain
the calmest mood imaginable.
Red posters displayed at various points
heralded a meeting of Dreyfusites tonight
in the Halle de Venise, the biggest dancing
hall in Brest, situated in the vicinity of the
arsenal. The demonstration was organized
by Socialists and was attended by 1900 per-
sons, the audience consisting mainly of So
cialists and Anarchists. together with few
detectives. The speakers. among whom
were most of the Socialist leaders, ad-
dressed the audience from a balcony. They
attacked militarism and reactions. The au-
dience enthusiastically cheered all refer
ences to Dreyfus. Zola and Picquart. A
couple of individuals. who tamely cried
"Abas Juifs!" were promptly hustled out.
but otherwise the meeting was perfectly
calm and the squads of police. who were
stationed in the adjacent streets, had abso-
lutely nothing to do. The speakers called
on their hearers to assemble upon the ar
rival of Dreyfus, In order to defend liberty
and justice. The audience dispersed with
cries OF "Vive Social revolution "Vive
Zola!' and "yive Picquart.' Some shouts
of ..vive .Anarchie!' were heard.
The representative of the Associated Press
saw Mr.. Schiron, the leader of the Brest
Socialists, who said in the course of his con-
versation: 1--WE intend TO be present at the
landing of Dreyfus, but we do not propose
to make any demonstration. We shall be
perfectly orderly and quiet unless the reac-
tionaries attempt to make demonstration
against Dreyfus In that case we shall de-
fend the cause of liberty and Justice"
That means that II the antirevisonists
attempt a demonstration there will be
broken heads in Brest when Dreyfus Is
landed.
The military authorities are still reticent
as to the arrangements made, and 1t is evil

of the prisoner of Devils island until he
shall have been safely removed TO Rennes,
where there is more reason to fear disor-
ders than there is here.
NJ. Delobeau, who represents Brest in the
Senate, said to the Associated Press repre-
sentative in the course OF an interview this
evening that he did not expect any trouble
upon the arrival of Dreyfus. adding that
so far as he can judge the entire population
of the town is perfectly calm and unless a
few hot headed individuals make trouble,
Captain Dreyfus will pass through Brest
without any untoward incident.
