P'O0IR'PEAsANTs.
ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ASK LAW.
YERs TO SUPPORT THEIR
Flsf CASES IN COURT.
i(By Publishers Press. J

MOSCOW, May 13.-The Governor
Of the Province Of Vladimir has Is
sued instructions to the local author
tiles throughout the district not to al
low the peasants to. apply to barristers
to support their cases in the law
courts.
The reason assigned for this un.
usual order Is because the "Barristers
are immoral persons who always try
to secure illiterate people with revo-
lutionary promises"
The effect Of the order can readily
be understood as 1t will leave the
peasantry helpless to resist by legal
steps any grievances that they ma,
have, while landlords will be able to
retain their own lawyers without in.

Bridal Showers.

Of all the showers" given to re- cent brides, these two have the ad- vantage of being novel, as well as practical, and so inexpensive that the purses of the guests are not heavily taxed.
 The first is glass and jar" shoYer. Each person will be asked to bring a jar of fruit, pickles. marmalade, bot tie of catsup. chilli sauce, a tumbler of jelly or preserves, and with it a rhyme or sentiment apropos of the oc- casion. The bride-elect was perfect ly delighted with the contribution to her emergency closet. The second shower is exceedingly clever. It is to be washrag, soap and bath towel shower" The contributions will he deposited in clothes basket and q soiled clothes hamper. All varieties of soap and such lot of wash cloths hand crocheted. bag shaped, flannel ana dainty hem-stitched squares, all tied with ribbon in white tissue paper parcels, will be brought.
 A luncheon will precede both these affairs. At one the brides chair will be decorated with huge bow of white tulle; at the other the dinner fayors will be tiny slippers filled with pink and white pspSermints.

FOR NERVOUS WOMEN.
The Nap Is Highly Recommended and Some Pertinent Advice About
 Not Fussing.

The pet nerve cure of s--s American woman is nap Her 40 winks restore not only her body, but her mind To secure her 40 winks she needs only a darkened room and a pillow, with the privilege of loosening her neck and belt, and shoes The Chinese also be- lieye in the 40 mods of rest, and are able to go on with their work for an indefinite time, stopping every little while for their 40 winks. The Chinese can work weeks without going to bed if allowed to drop off when the nerves begin to give out.
 As a nerve cure the French sit with their bare feet buried in fur rugs for two hours every day. Thus their feet breathe and rest.
 Stop fussing. This is Lillian RusselVs motto.
 Don't worry. Worry wears you out quickly.
 Don't fidget One hour of fideety movements will set your nerves flying
 Don't borrow trouble. Keep as tran. quill as you can.

It was with pleasure that read he words Button Party" in the corner of a dainty invitation which found on my desk recently common agate button was sewed on the card, while underneath was written Bring your Thimble.9
 On arriving at the appointed hour, the guests were seated four al table the hostess giving each one a card with a number corresponding to the ones on the table, so all found taeir partners and tables in this way At the head Of the table there was a bell, and so far the arrangements were as for an ordinary card party. Small pencils were attached to the sore card with which to keep the account. At table No. there were h large agate buttons for each person, with thread and needles.
 On the other tables there were bowls filled with buttons The per son at the head table who sews on his or her 15 buttons first rings the bell and progresses with the one who has seWed on the next highest mum Der. first pulling off the buttons so as to be ready for the newcomers. The buttons must be seWed on as follows: Make a knot in the thread, sew once into each hole. then fasten enough to hold the button on. Break the thread each time. Every person reaching lie head table sews on the 15 buttons as the first did. the remaining persons beginning over again and keeping the score. Those at the other tables sew on just as many buttons as possible while the ones at the head table are doing the requisite number. After 15 prOgressions, the score cards were col lected; to the one sewing on the largest number of buttons pair Of scissors in a leather case was gwen for the mans prize, and a dainty thimble was the lady's reward. The consolation prize for the lady was a needle case, and a box of patent buttons for the gentleman. The af- fair was pronounced a decided sue cess. and quite a relief from cards. The customary light refreshments were served at the small tables.

A Christening Party.

There have been several inquiries for christening party, and here is an account of one that must have been a very beautiful affair. To be- gin with the rooms were lighted with pink candles, which were In row on top of the piano. on the mantels and tops Of bookcases. The gas jets were turned down very low and shaded with pink tissue paper. Palms were banked in the front window, and the shades drawn. The hour was four in the afternoon. To use as font, there was a silver bowl on a pedestal surrounded by a wreath of pink rose buds.
 This baby's mother had so many friends that it was hard to choose who should be the godmother, so she asked eight of her nearest and dear est" to act in this capacity. They were all young ladies, and wore gowns of white At the appointed hour, when the beautiful music began, they came down the stairway two by two and formed a half circle in front
 
 CT followed then the dear three months-old baby in the arms of ner grandfather. She wore her mothers christening robe-a fine specimen of French needlework. The little maiden was given to her father, and the min ister began the impressive baptismal service When he asked What Shall this ehild's name be-" the godmoth- CTS responded with the name, which happened to be Frances"
 A lullaby completed this very beautiful service. A quartette of soprano alto. tenor and bass. with violin and piano, furnished the music. Light refreshments were served from a pink rose decorated table. the god mothers taking turns in pouring.

This will save postage. and of course. the mors the spirit of the affair is entered i1to, the greater success will be the party.
 I should use pumpkins, carrots. tur- nips and corn in decorating. Pump kins hollowed out and lined with oiled paper make fine receptacles for bon-bons, which in this instance, must be molasses and old-fashioRed stick candy. Cabbages done in the same way may be used to hold salt ed peanuts Stacks of corn stalks in the rooms will answer for palms, while large cornucopias made of brown paper and filled with leaves and grasses will make good wall decora- tions Use paper flowers; real Cnes would be far too expensive for a poverty party"
 Large pumpkins placed around ths rooms will serve in lieu of chairs, and be sure to use kitchen chairs in ths dining-room; all upholstered furniture must be banished from sight, as well as brie-a-brae, etc. For lights, use old fashioned barn lanterns. and candles in vegetable holders.
