A happy thought came to motter Of
five little ones when she said one
night, I'VE will march to bed, as the
soldiers do when on parade" The
children were soon in their nightgowns,
with mamma ahead as captain, light
in her hand, the brigade formed in
line. When mamma counted ''one,"
five little feet went pat on the stair;
as she counted "two," ten little feet
were on the stair. Thus they marched
cheerfully to bed every night, until
they had learned to keep step, like
soldiers. Mamma said, "Now you can
keep step so nicely by counting, we
will march tonight singing:
"Softly now the light OF day,
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor Tree,
Lord, Iwould commune with Thee"
Other songs were learned. Then one
night mamma went to that city OF
which it is said, "And there shall be
TO night there" So mammals march.

he isn't the kind of boy that is
ashamed of loving his mother, and he
never will be. And he felt just awfally
wretched and miserable-aithough he
really didn't believe it, of course
when the new girl told him that he'd
never see so much of his mother again.
"Yer nose is out of j'int now, John

was provoked with him for some rea-

mothers than boys, anyhow"
Now, as has been said, Johnnie didn't
believe this. And yet-somehow-it
made him very unhappy. So miser-
ably unhappy that he was cross and
grumpy and unpleasant to get along
with that day. The trained nurse

himself many times that he'd never
let anybody know he cared for such
silly nonsense, but all the same-he
simply couldn't help it. If you'd ever
tried to keep anything doleful and hor-

care you really going to think lots less
of me because of the new baby?"
"Of course not, laddie. Who put
such an idea in your head?" said his
mother.
'Norah-Norah said So"
Johnnie couldn't help being little
shame-faced, he knew it was so silly
of him to have minded. But mis- mother
didn't even smile.
Il shall never think less of you, lad

said the dear mother, tenderly. How
could 1 think less Of my dear big boy
because he's got a dear little sister for
both of us to love and take care of?'
Johnnie said nothing. But he stopped
over and kissed first his mother and
then the little tiny sister whom the
trained nurse carried into the room
at that moment. And when he bade

dispensable that the dressmakers who
a gown changed their terms to the willy
and indefinite according to the work
on it," The cost Of frock consequent
ly went up by leaps and bounds, and
the woman who could not pay the price
of fine needlework had to set her wits
to work if she aspired to be as smart as
her sister with an ampler purse. With
this noble end in view she gave up
her place as a lily of the field, and
toiled and spun to make herself fine.
She cut flowers out of cretonne and
appliqued them onto her coats, gowns,
and odd blouses. She embroidered and
stitched, and then pulled the stitches
all out again to make open work eff
fects. She tired her eyes and she
didn't get as many walks as she used
to, but her clothes were q mass of
fine needlework and looked as well,
while costing half as much as those of
her neighbor, who patronized an i'm
porter, with appalling results finan-
cially.
Having acquired the habit of being
industrious, the woman Of slim purse
and sartorial ambitions, is keeping up
the good work, and is now engaged on
the delicate task Of ornamenting ler
summer dresses and shirt waists with
lace and embroidery OF bewildering
prettiness and intricacy.
Linen is the favorite fabric for the
industrious woman's present work, and
whole dresses are being enriched and
beautified by her tireless needle.
Gowns of linen in pale colors are re-
lieved by collars, cuffs and reyers of
white linen or muslin, embroidered
with flowers in colored silks or in the
fax threads that wash so well, and
are so effective for this kind of work.
Washable ties and belts to wear with
these linen gowns are embroidered
with small patterns and are very sum-
merry and pretty in effoct.-New York

Use of Worn Tab!ccloths.

Worn tablecloths can be made into
serviceable napkins and tray cloths as
well as polishing towels for fine china
and silver, If the best parts are Sc
lected and neatly hemmed Table linen
to look its best must be laundered
French fashion, that is, washed as
white as snow and ironed while very
wet with irons not hot enough to
scorch. The ironing must be kept up
until the linen is perfectly dry, first on
the wrong side to bring out the pattern,
and then on the reverse TO acquire a
polish. Fine damask should never be
starched.

Real bronze articles, when they stand
in need of cleaning, can be regularly
washed in boiling water and soap.
They should be afterward dried with

cleaning bronze, however, is to rub
with a flannel cloth moistened with
sweet oil, and finishing by polishing
with the chamois skin.

FINE PICTURES COMING.
Borghese Gallery May Be Transferred
 to the United States.

London, January 23.-Lady Stanley, wife of Sir Henry M. Stanley, asserts that she has high authority for saying that Italian legal difficulties have been over come and that negotiations are well ad- vanced for the transfer of the entire Borghese gallery to the United States. She implores the civilized world to join in averting such catastrophe.
 The Italian Chamber of Deputies on November 29 last passed bill appropriat- ing 35oO.0O0 fires (se75. 500 for the pur- chase of the Villa Borghese collection Of pictures. statuary and other art ob- jects, the estimated value of which Is 10 O0o0 GOO fires (sl, ,s30, ,0o0). Prince Borghese, who was in financial difficulties. offered to donate the entire collection of paint mitted to sell Raphaels Sacred and Profane Love- abroad, for which he has been offered 100000 fires, but the gov ernment under the law refused to give him permission to sell 1t. It was further announced some time ago that the city of Rome would purchase the villa and park.
 The Borghese gallery is regarded as be- ing the finest private collection of paint ings in the world. Among the best-known works in 1t are Correggio's "Danae" and Raphaers 'Entombment." The statuary in the collection is not regarded as of great importance. but the modern scuip- tor includes several masterpieces such as Canovas' Venus Victrix'
