THE ART OF LETTING GO.

We held on to a grear many things last
year which we should have let go-shaken
off entirely. In the first place, we should
expel from our minds completely the things
which cannot be helped-our past misfortunes,
the trivial occurrences which have mortified
or humiliated us. Thinking Of them not only
does no good, but it robs US of peace and
comfort. The art of forgetting useless things
is great one, and we should learn it at any
cost. It is Just as important to learn to let
us to get on and up in the world; anything
that is a drag, a stumbling block, a
hindrance should be expunged from our mem
ory. Many people seem to take positive
pleasure in recalling past misfortunes, suffer-
ings and failures. They dwell upon such ex-
periences and repaint the dark pictures until
the mind becomes melancholy and sad. If
they would only learn to drive them out and
Danish their attempts to return as they would
Danish a thief from the house, those painful
thoughts would cease to demand entrance.
Weswant all we can get of sunshine, encour-
agement and inspiration. Life is too short
to dwell upon things which only hinder our
growth. II we keep the mind filed with
bright, hopeful thoughts--the things which
which can help us on and up in the world
we shall make infinitely greater progress
than by burying ourselves in glowing retro

MADE DOLLS FOR A DUKE.
Philadelphia Girl Has an Order
from Germany.

Miss Virginia Mcdowell Of Philadel-
phia is making paper dolls for the two
granddaughter of the present Grand
Duke of Luxembourg, says the 2hila-
delphia Times Thirty of the dolls,
each one differently dressed, were re-
Gently sent to Castle Koenigstein, near
Wiesbaden, where the children, about
eight and ten years old, make their
home.
A friend of Miss Mcdowell, an art
list, is a close friend of the children's
mother, and year ago last Christmas
the artist presented them with several
dolls which had been made and dressed
by the Philadelphia girl.
So delighted were they that their
mother, fearing the evil effects of too
much indulgence in such innocent
pleasure, allowed the children to play
with them only occasionally. The frag-
lie bits of pasteboard and tissue paper
soon wore out, and then letter all
gorgeous with beraldic blaZonry was
sent to Miss Mcdowell asking her to
make thirty of the dolls and send them
as soon as possible to Castle Koenig-
stein.
Miss Mcdowell set to work immedi-
ately, and in short while the dainty
pieces of handicraft were completed.
Each doll was dressed differently in
costumes for various times of day
street gowns, dinner dress, ball gowns,
hunting jackets and others for similar
occasions. In several OF the dresses
the national colors Of the duchy, vel
low and blue, were judiciously and ar
tistically combined.
Miss Mcdowell is well known in
Philadelphia younger set. She makes
her home during the winter with her
aunt, Miss Jones. She will spend this
summer at Wildwood. She is clever
artist aud has made a speciality of pa
per dolls.

NO PUBLIC WETOHER.
Auy Number of Weighers Can
Perform in Americas.

A special says Americas will not
have single public weigher, as sug-
gested to the city council in an effort
to give this monopoly to single indi'
yidual, but instead any number of
weighers can perform that work by
taking the prescribed oath and paying
alcense tax. The cotton buyers and
some of the warehousemen objected to
the proposition to elect public weigh
er, to reweigh every bale OF cot
ton stored in Americas, and a protest
to that effect was made before the city
council. After hearing from the cot
ton men present it was the sense OF
the council that the buyers and all
others could have their own Statesmen
tOreweigh cotton turned out OF ware
houses for shipment, or at the COM
press, each public salesman to take
the usual oath and pay license.

Mr.. S. T. Philpot, the present man

however, that Mrs. Mayo has the right
to sell the property at any time after
having given Mr.. Philpot the refusal
of it at the price for which she would
sell. The terms of the lease were fully
carried out, the present owners claim,

Many Of Princeton's young alumni

a custom was then in vogue among
the undergraduates to find out how

zone morning soon after Professor
Wilson had assumed his new duties he
was about to begin his lecture when
he noticed a drunken Irishman rise
from one of the front seats and begin
to perform a few antics for the edl-
fication of this contingent of Old Mas
saus sons. The lecturer stepped down
from the platform and accosted the
son of Erin thus:

"Weu. IN invite you out again"
said Professor Wilson. and, taking the
intruder by the coat collar, he hustled
him down the stairs three steps at
time.

The accompanying verses were writ

a Chicago boy, whose long invalidism
was terminated by death a year or two

While travelling for his health he wrote
extensively for some of the newspapers

him:

And battle their peaks in fleecy cumuli.

Yielding the air their tribute of perfume;
Where stately groves and palm trees
fringe the shore
And lose their whispering in the ceaseless

Where curious shells are hurled amidst
the sand.
