beyond this earthly goal,
only feel that now and here the spirit
has control;
That, If our lives are true and deep in
this restricted sphere,
For what the future has in store we
may not have a fear.
do not know what life may mean be-
yond this earthly goal;
l only know that now and here life
may be ruled by soul,
That happiness may be diffused by al
truism's sway, s.
That love may be the loadstar that
shall lead US on our way.

The Sherman Envelope Company OF
Worcester, Mass, has recently brought
out a novelty in envelopes which is at
tracing much attention. 1t is an en-
velope for sending cut bills which will
not hive to be addressed. This is ac-
complished by cutting a slot in the
envelope, and the bill is folded so that
the part having the name and address
on it appears through the slot. Most
of the envelopes are made with the
slot through the middle. of the face
but some have been made with the
slot at one end to accommodate bills
that are printed with the name and
address at one end. The advantage Is
that all the labor of addressing the
envelope is saved. The writing of the
name on the bill does both for the bill
and the address of the envelope. The
hor In q ch m
and they go through the post office
all right. 1t is not at all difficult tc
fold the bills right, and the address
shows up almost as well as if it were
written on the envelope. The envel-
opes cost very little extra to manu-
facture, as the slots are cut out by
die, which chops them out 25 at a
time.-Stationer and Printer,

It is the fondest idea Of the
dyspeptic that when he abstains from
the snowy white loaf and eats the
brown one, that he is adding that much
to his credit in the book of life
speaking plainly. That this is an idea
that is not absolutely proved IS rot
generally known, but the fact remains
nevertheless. that a great many OF
the scientists who are making such q
study of the food stuffs of the world
now, are not altogether satisfied IN
their minds that the white bread is
not still the most wholesome and nu-
tritious.
To him who is the possessoT Of a
library of respectable proportions and
to whom every volume has been OF
&c "a
friend. In their presence he feels that
he is in the company of competent
entertainers, able thinkers and wise
Story-tellers, historians
essayists. scientists, philosophers
preachers and theologians-some OF
the worlds greatest In each class
are here. He is in touch with the I'M
mortals. They are here to instruct, to
feed. to strengthen, to inspire him.
Within small compass the history and
wisdom of the ages may thus be gain
cred by him who would know what
men have done and what they have
thought. The old and the new life,
the ancient and the modern conclu-
sions on the great life problems, may
be reproduced, compared and studied

1.-The Sink Supper" is not an elegant
title, certainly, but it is rather an en-
joyable affair just the same. You see,
il is only a new name for the old
fashioned Sunday night supper,
where the latest guests take off coats
and hats and go with the rest of the
family to prepare the supper. It is
to IA
and the careful housewife is only
obliged to be sure that there is cof-
fee ground, plenty Of cold meat or
to make a salad, bottle
of olives and pickles, and that is all.
The cook and the maid may all go
out, and the guests will all enjoy the
of helping themselves. There
is always a man around who is sure
that he knows the only real way to
cook a lobster Newburg, or to mix
the salad, and some one else is just
as anxious to show you how he makes
the coffee, so there is only plenty of
fun and not much work at all Incl
dent to the giving of Sink Supper"

Evening gowns are made quite diff
ferent from those intended for dinners
or dances as far as the sleeves are con-
cerned. The dinner gowns have elbow
or long sleeves. while the regular ball
gowns have absurdly small ones, or
none at all-that IS. only strap. The
dinner gown is again in
fashion, but the round low-cut ball
gown well off the shoulders is sconsid-
cred the smartest. All the low-cut
gowns are made very low IN the back
much lower than Is In good taste-and
the American dressmak-
ers are putting folds of tulle above the
folds Of silk or satin or other material
of which the gown is composed. EX-
uuisite hand-work Is seen on al! the
evening gowns in embroidery on the
satin, hem stitching, or applique of
lace. The work done by hand is all
most beautifully fine.-Harper's Bazaar.
