Mrs. Grundy.

What a much abused parsonage Mrs.

Is one of our national safeguards She Is

A Barnum Trick.

In the days when Barnum's museuD
was in the height OF its popularity in
New York it was the custom of many
people to bring their wives, children and
lunch baskets and make day of it, This
was not in accordance with Barnum's
view of profitable way to conduct a mu-
scum. One Saturday, when the army Of
picnckers was overcrowding the show
and keeping others out, a brilliant idea
occurred to Barnum. On a huge canvas
he painted the word "Egress" in immense
letters Of green. This he placed over a
doorway and Immediately attracted the
attention Of the crowd, which was just
about to settle down for lunch, "Egress,
sgress" cried the visitors. Faith, that's
an animal we haven't seen" "They
found that animal" said Barnum telling
the story, "out on the street"

If household duties have no charm, the
art of the needle may possibly prove at
tractive, and the girl who can sew dan-
tily and decorate her home by her own
handiwOrk has at least mastered one
branch of a wife's qualifications. The ex.
qulsite embroidcries of oriental countries
put to the blush many Of our efforts at
decorative stitchery but our girls can, if
they will, use their needles with beauti-
full effect and rival the oriental. They
only need training to become accomplish
ed necdlewomen. But with the many
destinations of other arts and sports and
pastimes our modern girls apparently are
not inclined to labor over delicate EN-
broideries. though the excellent classes
which are here and there being held to
encourage the art of the needle are doing

Girls In the Public Schools.

For century and half after the pub
lie schools were established in America
girls were not admitted to them at all.
In the latter part of the eighteenth CEN
tury they were allowed to attend from
April to October, the months when only
the little boys were in attendance and a
cheaper and less competent teacher
was employed.
After the girls were given this extraor-
binary privilege of education the ia

Nowadays a brilliant show of color in
flower beds is popular. Many of our most
beautiful flowers are unsatisfactory for
massing for this purpose. One of the
best is the California poppy. This is of
an extremely rich shade of yellow, and
masses of it produce n most dazzling cf-
feet. Another good plant for maSsing is
Phlox drummondii. To secure the most
satisfactory results with it SOW each color
by itself or in such manner as to secure
color contrast without the bizarre effects
resulting from the use of mixed seed
The white, rose and pale yellow sorts are
very fine. The petunia is a most snowy
flower and blooms profusely through the
greater part of the season. Callopss is
fire for massng. SO is candytuft in

Throwing the Shoe,

The peasants of southern France have
the credit of originating the familiar Gus
tom of throwing an old shoe after the
newly welded pair. 1t was, moreover
the rejected sutton who first made it pop
ular. The peasant bride is conducted by
her friends to her new home, while the
young husband is made to halt at cou-
pie Of hundred yards from the house. If
there is rejected sutton, he then arms
himself with an old wooden shoe and
filings it, with his best aim, at the bride.
groom as he makes dash for the house.
When the shoe is thrown. it is understood
that the last feeling of i'll will has been
flung away with it.

How to Buy Hosiery.

Vests and stockings the latter of which
are stern necessities, can be purchased Mt
various prices, but in this regard no stint
ing is advisable, especially in the matter
of the "bas de" cashmere.
-Four pairs for day wear and two Of silk
or opcnworll Isle thread for evening are
necessary. At the least suspicion of hole

darn it, for in no instance more than in

It circulates from Galveston

Three travelling men and our
very active local agents are con
