Not so very long ago the Prince Of

course of the ceremony the president
CHANGED to raise his hat to salute the
prince, when to the crowds amusement
his wig came off at the same time, leav-

English: people avow that the Duchess
of York is the stiffest of all royalty. They

Shortly before the Duchess of Tcck's
death she and her daughter were attend
ing a charity bazaar opening, when the
provincial chairman took the floor and
commenced to eulogize ON the merits of
their distinguished patroness. After he
had exhausted his eloquence on .'the

views of the duchess, his attention was
directed to the slenderl ady at her side,

THE COMING SLEEVES,

Sleeves are made to the elbow, tight
fitting, and with deep turned-back cuff
of lace or embroidery. To wear with
them are under-sleeves of lace or long
gloves, this applying even to cloth gowns
Everything is elaborate, and sashes of
soft Iacelike materials are put on every
style of gown. Fancy silk waists, en-
broidered by hand in charming designs,
which are formed into yoke, with deep
cuffs and collars, are the novelties in
the so-called inexpensive waists; these.
even in Paris, sell for $50; in this coun-
try they cost more. Such are a few of
the notes in resume of June trousseau
which is not noticeable for it's expense,
but merely as indicating some of the new
ideas.
One fact already established is that au-
tumn gowns of silk, lightweight cloth,
crepe, cashmere, poplin-in short, all that
are not absolutely of the tailor variety
and made of heavy cloth-are to show
novel sleeve effects that include forms
reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth and Of
Louis XIV, with occasional slender En-
pire forms and others that are none the
less picturesque because of their compos-
tie character.-Harper's Bazaar.

Care of the LaWnmOWer.

One of the most necessary and yet one
of the most abused of all implements is
the lawnmower. TO sharpen the knives
is not difficult matter. To do it, re-
move the wheels, and slip the cogwheel
off the end of the shaft. \ little clutch
will be found in a slot in the shaft at
each end. Simply reverse the positions
Of the cogwheels and clutches from one
end Of the shaft to the other so that
the reel can be run backward. Then re-
place the outer wheels, and fasten them
in place with either the nuts or cotters
With the oilcan run little oil along the
edge of the lower knife. Upon this oil
sprinkle medium coarse emery powder
Now turn the machine upside down and
push it along the lawn rapidly, the reel
turning backward causing the emery to
grind all the knives. The wheels may
then be taken off, and the cogs and
clutches reversed, the emery carefully
wiped off, the knives adjusted, the ma
chine oiled, and it will be ready for use

THE KISS OF CHILDREN

No thought or sense unsatistied
The kiss of children brings
NO after-taste of bitter things,
NO fearful prayer for peace denied,
No shadow of remorse's wings,
No sense Of fallen worth or pride.
No feverish search of Lethe's tide
But from their lips contentment springs.
The kiss of little children wakes
The hope of endless better things,
It stirs our hearts, till memory sings
or our lost innocence and takes
Us by the hand-that childlike clings
10 hers-along her paths. and makes
US nobler for the truth that breaks

The Choristers.

AnC NHOT10tcfSs
There's little band Of singers
Every evening comes and fingers
Meath the window Of my cottage in the
trees
And with dark they raise their voices,
While the gathering night rejoices
And the leaves join in the chorus with the
breeze.
Then the twinkling stars come out
To enjoy the merry rout,
And the squirrels range themselves upon n
log;
And the fireflies furnish light,
That they read their notes Alright
The katydid, the cricket and the frog.
All the night hear them singing,
Through my head their tunes are ring

Strains Of music straight from Mother Ma

Now the katydid and cricket,
From the deep OF yonder thicket,
Then the croaking frog off yonder drones

As the midnight hour nears
And her smiles dispel the ring mist and

Then the mirth is at its height,
And they glOrify the night
