HER POWER.

She couldn't drive a. nail in straight
Not even on n stunt.
She couldn't throw a stone a rod
And hit an elephant.
She couldn't saw a board across
And make the angle right.
She wouldn't kill a mouse, although
1t bothered her all night.
She wouldn't miss a gossip-feast
For anything you'd pay.
She couldn't hear a secret but
She'd give it all away.
She couldn't hold her tongue an hour,
Unless she we're asleep,
She couldn't skip a bargain sale,
Where everything was cheap.
She couldn't do a lot Of things
That men can do with ease.
She couldn't knock a three-base hit,
Or shin up lofty trees.
But she can take a great big man,
Enslaye him with a thrill,
And twist him round her finger. and
Remould him to her viii.

A SUGGESTION.

When making knots on materials that
must be iaEndered~ it is well to use the
washable knot. This does not pull like
the French one that is the only one known
to most .embroiderers.
Stick the needle up through the material,
wind the thread around it three or four
tires. hold it very tau and put the needle
down again as In the French knot. Then
take another stitch in exactly the same
place and over the loops
This holds the knot very firm and pre-
vents twisting when washed.

There is a great deal of difference be-
tween being shabby and being shoddy,
though some women do not seem to
realize it.
Shabby clothes do not hinder a wom-
an from looking well If they are well
brushed and well kept. Mended gloves
and patched but well-blacked shoes are
no disgrace. Rather are they a credit
to their wearer. =
But shoddy clothes are indicative of a
shoddy nature, to my way of thinking,
and I know many will agree with me.
Near-velvet gowns and ~almost-gold
jewelry are ~disgraceful and nothing
less. for they shout to the public that
their owner Is possessed of a little false
nature, full of 'near-sincere" opinions
and artificial standards.
People can be judged by their clothes,
no matter who says they cannot.

One Specimen.

So many women are guilty Of that
going without one thing in order to Lay
a large price for something else.
I saw a woman on the ferryboat the
other day who wore genuine ermine
furs. with a pair of shoes all run down
at the heel, with one showing a good
sized hole at the side. I noticed them
as she lifted her skirt-of brown velvet,
by the way-to cross the gangplank.
Her gloves were white and badly
soiled, but she looked at peace with
herself and the whole world beside. l
suppose she felt as If she were the
envy of every other woman on the
boat who could not afford real ermine.
If she only knewl
Al first glance she did make some
thing of an impression, but a look Of
inspection, such as all women bestow
upon each other upon meeting, changed
ones opinion all the way through.

 Country,
FOREIGNERS TOO UNEASY
Fear City Inhabitants May Rise to Aid Rcyolters, But the Aged President Is Conn-

Port all Prince, Nov 3O.-Evory hour brings the revolutionary army nearer Port au Prince, and feeling of impending disaster has taken pos session of the people. The advance guard of General Antoine Simon's forces is not more than twenty-five or thirty miles from this city, and up to the present the insurgents have swept all before them,
 The government losses at Ansea Veau on Friday and the rout of the loyal troops have caused consterna- ton among the officials of the govern ment with possibly the sole exception of President Nord Alexis. Every ef- fort to have him betake himself from the country has proved a failure and the aged president, who has faced many revolutions before, announces his determination to fight to the last,
 It may he that President Alexis feels the confidence he expresses In his abil- ity to check the advancing army of the revolution, but the residents of Port nu Prince certainly are not of the same mind.
 Many of them are panic stricken and the great majority of the natives have closed and shuttered their stores and business houses and have put bars across the doors and windows of their residences There is an uneasy feeling among the foreigners notwithstanding the presence in the harbor of the war ships of the United States and France from which forces will unquostlonably he landed if the insurgents succeed In passing the gates of the city, or at the first sign of disorder and rllage, Flags of different nations are flying from the homes of many of the foreign resi- dents, the markets are deserted and the country people, upon whom the city depends for It's sustenance have fed precpitately and refuse to return,
 The situation has become so grave that an official proclamation has been Issued convokIng the chambers in ex- tra0rdinary session. so that measures be taken Co preserve the government, or. at least to Cffcct a compromise with tho revolutionary leaders. There was great fear o-night that tho dis affected body of Haitians in this city might take up arms for the overthrow of tho government, which, however, being forewarned, has taken precau- tons against this happening Presl- dent Alexis, suspecting the loyalty of | General Cameau, while General Nau. who also is one of the chief officials. has been replaced by General Hyacrthe for the same reason
 Throughout the dny and tonight the streets were patrolled by bodies of troops, who maintained order, but this was a simple matter, for many of tho streets were deserted, the people hay ing betaken themselves to their barri- caded houses So far as can be seen remain loyal and are facing the coming ! of the revolution calmly.
