A brave little Heroine.

Among the stories told by certain
aged physicians at reunion OF lncdi-
cal men of the times when surgical op-
erations were conducted without an
aesthetics none was more touching
than the following:
A little girl not more than years
old, was injured in such way that 1t
was necessary to amputate one of her
legs. She proved to be Of wonderful
pluck. and instead of binding her. as
was customary IN such cases. she was
given her most cherished doll to hold.
Pressing it in her arms, she submitted
to the amputation without a single cry.
When 1t was done. the physician In
charge. seeking to brighten matters up
with pleasantly said. "And now. my
dear, we will amputate your dolls leg. !"
Then the little girl burst into tears.
s"No. nor' she gasped between her
sobs. "You shall not! 1t would hurt
her too nucbP'

The king bird. most active and
pugDacious bird. may be found in
fields and along the roadsldes. He Is
commonly perched on post or low
bough ON the lookout for insects. His
sudden dart into the air or down to the
ground. followed by a return to the
post of observation. is extremely char
acteristic. Sometimes one may even
hear the click of the bill which an
nounces the fate of the unhappy insect.
He is with us from May until Septem-
ber
The king bird owes his name to the
fact that he is the one small bird who
ventures to attack the marauding
crow, and that ne always comes off
victorious. Rising above his foe, he
drops upon his back, attacking him
with beak and claws until the unlucky
intruder makes off in ludicrous con-
sternation. The nest Is usually placed
at moderate height ON the horizontal
bough Of a tree in the orchard or by
the wayside. Eggs are laid early in
June. The note is sharp twitter, often
somewhat resembling that Of the swal-
low.-Denyer Republican.

The way certain words are misused
and abused should appeal to one. 1t is
fact that if any word has tried to
adapt itself to every possible and inn
possible situation grand is the one
that has made the attempt. A person
needs but walk about any city to be
confronted with Grand hotels and
Grand View houses. Sometimes 1t fits
the house which it adorns. sometimes
it seems but sardonic attempt to make
them seem the more forlorn. 1t rises to
the sublime and describes the noun
tains, it descends to the level Of every
day life and appears as descriptive
term when the weather is mentioned
On the lips of the milliner it lures on
to her doom the woman who without
the support of a friend is selecting a
hat, and the doesn { she look grand in
that Z causes her to depart with the
hat in her possession. One hears about
grand dinners and grand times,
but the last straw is when the shop
woman says. THAT coat fits you some
thing grand. New York Sun.

and Grape cloths and blister and other
crepons. All these may be worn for
Mourning or for any occasion not espe-
cially festive.
Black silks are almost covered with
jet, embroidery picked out with jet and
with jetted passementerie. One gown
for swell dinner was of black armure
together 1t weighed nearly 40 pounds.
Black velvet gowns for grand occa-
sions and for the street will be among
the handsomest of all the winter cos
tunes.
For mourning attire there are some
very handsome wraps and capes; also
empire coats and other shapes, such as
tight jackets and blouse effects. Some
of these are Of all wool goods, like the
wool drap d'alma and cachemire de
rinde. Broadcloth and venetian, mel
ton and boucle will also be worn later
In the season. All but the last two will
be trimmed with Grape. The melton
and boucle will have black castle braid
stitched on. and where buttons are re-
quired they will be of plain black
horn. Everything in shape of wrap or
jacket will have high collars, higher
than ever. if possible. There is new
mantle where the body is blouse shap-
ed and belted, with a fiat revers col
lar and a high medici collar The
sleeves are cut like circular capes and
joined. The top is sewed into the arm
size, and the sleeve thus formed is left
to fall in heavy folds.
For deep mourning these are quite or
nearly covered with Grape. Other
sleeves are made very snug, almost as
tight as they used to be some ten years
ago, when it was said that woman
had to get up on a stepladder to get
them on. The way she did it was to
fall down.
The suits for what are generally called
growing girls are very neat and pret-
ty this season. / was looking at some
cravanette suits recently. One had
four clusters of soutache on the skirt,
four rows In each. They were all
massed above the knees. The jacket
was double breasted, but fastened with
flies. 1t was scalloped and had several
rows of soutache. Jaunty pockets and
reyers and coat collar finished it. The
color was dark brown Another pretty
suit for girl of 16 had the skirt of
very dark blue serge made entirely
plain. The jacket was of tan melton,
double breasted and elegantly braid
ed. A glance at the Illustration will
show how both of these looked
For young girls there are many pret-
ty felt hats, stitched round and round
the crowns, made like Tam O'Shanters,
A quill and band are considered the
right trimming for these. Others there
are with more of the sailor shape, with
birds, quilts, plumes or rosettes of vel
vet or of felt as garniture For dress
occasions velvet hats of dark color
with light satin pipings are hand
somer. These are trimmed with loops
and bows of alternate velvet and satin
Plaids will be unusually prominent
for girls this season, but for dresses
only. All coats and cloaks are of mix.
lures or solid color in smooth faced or
boucle. The woolly effects in outer
garments viii be carried out to a great
er extent than ever before There are
some self colored camel's hairs that are
as thick as fur, with long, silky hair.
These will make beautiful cloaks for
small children in the lighter shades OF
gray. HFNRIETTE ROUSSEAU.

RATHER EMBARRASSING.
The Sad Case of the Young Woman
Who Wanted to Talk.

A most embarrassing experience was
that of a certain West Philadelphia
young woman who few evenings ago
attended reception, in which num-
Der of well known clubwomen partici-
pated. 1t SO happened that among these
were several who had found the matri-
monial yoke an unwelcome one for
various reasons and had obtained legal
separation from their husbands. To one
Of these women. quite upwittingly,
having just been introduceS, the young
woman, who is nothing if not vivacious
and conversational, addressed the ques-
ton:
''By the way, Mrs. R., don't you
think divorce is wrongr' The woman,
reddening slightly, replied:
''My dear, there are two sides to that
question. Perhaps you have not heard
my story"
The questioner, embarrassed beyond
measure, stammered an excuse and
walked away To the first woman she
met she confded her trouble, saying:
''Oh, dearl have just made most
unfortunate remark You know Mrs
R. 7 Well, spoke to her about divorce,
and she's divorced, you know"
$50 am /, my dear. v@Ls the smil-
ing reply, and once again the young
woman wished that the floor would
open under her. She felt so bad that che
went to one Of the women in charge of
the reception and. taking her aside,
told her the whole story. asking her ad-
vice as to what she should do.
'Do nothing at all, Miss L. was
the reply. II really don't think they

THE FEAR OF SOLITUDE.

woke at dawn and, risen from my bed,
Gazed at the new born day serene and suave.
Silver and geld and pearl were overhead
Like some sea shell new garnered from the wave,
And such faint music from the morning sped
As mourners' singing by distant grave.
Far out at sea a beating vessel bore
Westward with scarce discoyerable speed,
Creeping athwart distant island shore
That traced outline family fligreed
With creviced mountain whose low SUBMITS wore
cloudy chariot yoked with feecy steed.
At foot little bay lay Graded deep
Whereon the idle fishing feet was drawn,
No ripple hurt the waters quiet sleep
That lay peaceful a garden lawn;
The lighthouse at the harbor mouth did peep
flashing eye of red upon the dawn.
No voice | heard nor any certain sound,
Save when the hungry seagull cried awhile;
All was so hushed and lonely that found
nameless fear in all this silent isle
As though the very sea might rise and bound
And oyerwhelm me. Lo. his treacherous smilei
Some men there be. who glory in such case,
A mountain top immutable-a throne.

With this fierce question now immediate grown

JET AND BLACK.
Both VIII BE Popular During the
Coming Season.

While in London | visited some of
the famous "shops," as they call them,
and | was struck by tlle rather somber
appearance they presented. Black
seems to be the keynote in gowns of
all descriptions. Perhaps this is due in
a measure to the court mourning. The
Princess of Wales. however, has set
the fashion of having very elaborate
mourning attire. so that were it not
for the Grape upon ii one might think
some of the gowns for festal occasions.
After all, this is as it should be.
There Is no reason why a woman's
mourning gowns should not be fash
ionably made. Mourning garb is de-
pressing enough at the best But, aside
from the mourning garb, we must ex-
peet to see a great deal of black
worn this season. So many rich and
new black fabrics are offered that one
finds choice difficult. There are the
silk warp goods, eudora. henrietta,
melrose and drap d'ete, drap d'alma

And Yet, Bryan Says There is No
Prosperity.

The promised restoration of wages
at the Pacific Worsted and Cotton
Mills, in Lawrence, Mass, went into
effect today, about 5000 employees be-
ing affected. 1t is understood that
the increase is of the same amount
as the cut.down made more than a
year ago, about 10 per cent.
At the Atlantic Mills, the restora.
ton also went into effect today. This
company employs about 1900 per-
sons. The amount of the increase
cannot be stated. as it varies in the
different departments.
The reduction in wages made at the
Pittsfield Cotton Mills, in January,
1898, was restored Monday, when a
new price.l list went into effect. The
increase averages about 10 per cent,
and affects 500 hands.

SOUND REASONING.

1t seems a little odd that so conserv-

such red-hot expansionist, but it
would be hard to find one to match
him for aggressive and enthusiastic
advocacy of holding on to all we have
acquired as the result of the Spanish
war.

Annual Enumeration.

The annual enumeration of the
scholars in the public schools has been
turned in to the Board of Education
by the principals of the various wards.
The enumeration this year shows a
marked increase over the attendance
during the>last school year. This is
very gratifyir g, as it both shows that
the population of our city is increas-
ing and that the citizens are taking
more interest in the education of their
children.
The enumeration of the schools for
the year ending June 3oth, 1899. is
given below, also the enumeration for
the year ending at the same date in
1898:
