CONCERNING WOMEN.

Women have it all their own sweet
way In the commune of Rank Her
lein, in Hungary. There woman
has recently been elected as chief
magistrate, the reason being that
the whole male population of the
place had emigrated to America, and
there was not a single man left to
all the post.
In Russia, it seems, the women &C
count it a kind of disgrace not to
marry. A young Russian girl, who
had not met a man she cared for
specially, was reproached for her
obstinacy by her mother, who in At
Of anger called her an ''old maid"
The girl was so hurt by this remark
that she ran away and entered q
cloister.
Marksboro, in New Jersey, Is a
town with population OF 500, but
there is not cradle or a baby car
riage I'm the place. There is no need
for them, for there are no babies
there and for five years no birth has
been reported. When a little stran-
ger" does make its appearance on
the scenes at Marksboro what very
important parsonage he-or She
will be!

FURNISHING A HOUSE
FURNITURE SHOULD BE USEFUL
AS WE'LL AS ORNAMENTAL.

Avoid Oyercrowding-Leav Spaces
TO Move About IMPRACTICAL
Hangings and Few Pictures--Se-
lect a Color Scheme.
TO furnish a house comfortably
and artistically never crowd the
rooms with too much furniture or
adorn the shelevs with needless brio
a-brac or decorations, but fit them
with chairs, curtains, that are ne
cessary to complete the whole and
give a harmonious effect, says the
New York Telegram. Arrange every
hanging SO it will be of some practi-
cal use, as we'll as an ornament, in
the room, and put the stools, settees,
etc, in convenient positions, but in
places where they will leave the
greatest amount of space unoccu-
pied, so persons can easily move
about without first stopping to push
a chair out of the way. color
scheme should be selected for each
apartment, and every bit Of silk,
each picture or piece Of furniture
should help to carry out the general
tone
Pictures should all be placed in
spots where the light is good, and
hung about on level with the eyes.
1t is less difficult to put them in
place where the light is good than to
select an appropriate subject.
''Women make the mistake OF
hanging too many pictures on their
walls, says one of the best known
decorators in the city s'They should
never be placed SO close together
that when looking at one the eyes
are attracted to the next picture, CIV
ing a confused idea of both. Zach
should be in position where it can
be studied alone, for in this way only
are pictures restful, and really dec
orative."
The most effective way to hang
curtains, especially If they are of fine
material and attractive, pattern, is to
drape them straight over poles and
let them fall to the floor without be-
ing caught to the sides of the win
dows with ribbons or silk cord. The
number of chairs in parlor depends
entirely on the size of the room and
the persons in the family who will
use them They should all be put in
convenient places and near the wall
and so arranged that they will be in
viting and not stiff or formal look
ing No tides, lace or any kind of
hanging should ever be put on par
lor furniture, and even the most
elaborate sofa pillows are out of
place in a we'll regulated one.
Women who delight in decorating
their homes with pieces Of fancy
work can rightfully indulge this fad
only in their bedrooms, but good
taste demands that these should be
simple.

MARKETING RULES.

There are a few rules to remem-
Der in buying beef, mutton or poul-
try which the inexperienced house
keeper does well to bear in mind.
To test beef, press it down with
the thumb. If it rises quickly the
meat is good.
Beef should be fine-grained, of a
bright red color, with srreaks of
clean, white looking fat.
The meat will be tough unless
there is plenty of fat.
Mutton should be dark colored.
with the fat clear white.
Soup meat should have as little fat
as possible and come from the round,
and also meat intended for beef tea.
Veal should be fat.
Poultry should have smooth legs
and short spurs, with the feet bend
ing easily and the eyes bright. II the
fowl has begun to turn blue it is not
good.
Grouse and quail both have white
flesh; the pinnated grouse, however,
has dark flesh.
In buying fish the gills should be
red

Dacneiorhood too hard to break
Then she looked into his eyes again.
He smiled.
YOU looked then just as you did ff-
teen years ago when you gave me my
goodbye
Inc Woman's cheeks flushed and her
eyes burned brightly. She looked even
more like she had looked then.
L never thought to see you again, .
she said, dreamily.
Are you sorry?" he asked
She smiled again.
sorry? oh, MOI" And there was a
thrill or great tEankfulness in her
voice. Her eyes looked into his with
the old tender message calling him to
her The man bit his lips. She was
openly encouraging him; and the dear
little girl OF the old days was gone. He
had not forgotten that she was mar
rled. All! that other man!
together they wandered into the
large, cool conservatory and sat down.
But the spell had flown She was a
tlrt, a married hirt The old-time
| sweetheart had grown into this,
But the girl he had loved in the long
ago mad married another man, and had
no right to look at him in that way.
You will call upon me?" she asked
after while.
Thank you, no. | shall leave the
city in the morning. / am sorry"
VIII you return soon?"
i think / Shall never come back .
he replied YEARLY. He was disap-
pointed. This was a little bit harder
than the teary farewell fifteen years
ago. But he still loved her In spite
OF all, he wanted to take her in his
arms and kiss her again and again
At his words the light died out of
her beautiful face. Her lips turned
white. Goodbye, she said.
Goodbye" Then they shook hands
formally. She did not look at him.
The flowers around her seemed to
dance gleefully at her misery, and the
universe grew dizzy and black
After he left her, the memory of her
grew upon him day by day. All the old
love came back to him, multiplied a
thousandfold by the fifteen years Of
famine. He went over seas to forget
how she looked that evening at the
dinner, with the sumptuous beauty of
woman and the tender sweetness of a
girl. But she was married,
Thus passed a year. Then came to
him this letter:
MY friend would any news of me
be welcome to you? Maybe not; but
since | am to be in your city for few
! days next week and don't know any
one there but you, [ should be glad 10

Curing Facial Defects.

Professor Lassar, famous Ber-

TO restore red noses to their normal
color and uses. An instrument,

with an electrical machine. The
treatment consists of hammering
the lurid nose till it bleeds, when
the treatment is stopped for a day.
