New Enoland Weather.

From an address by Mark Twain:
There is a sumptuous variety about
the New England weather that CON-
pels the strangers admiration-and
regret. The weather is always doing
something there; always getting up
new designs and trying them on the
people to zee how they will go. But
it gets through more business in
spring than in any other season. In
the spring I have counted 1876 kinds
Of weather inside Of four and twenty
hours. It was l that made the fame
and fortune Of that man that had that
marvellous collection of weather on
exhibition at the Centennial that SO
astounded tbs foreigners. He was
going to travel all over the world and
get specimens from all the Chimes
said: Don't you do it; you come to
New England on a favorable spring
day told him what we could do
in the way Of style, variety and guam
tlty. Well, he came, and he made his
collection in four days. AS to variety
why, he confessed that he got hum
dreds Of kinds of weather that he had
never heard Of before. And as to
quantity-well, after he had picked
out and discarded all that were
blemished in any way he not only
had weather enough, but weather to
spare; weather to hire out; weather
to sell; to deposit; weather to in
vest; weather to give to the poor"

Made the Difference.

The late Thomas T. Williams, who
at one time was private secretary to
the late United States Senator George
Hearst Of California, used to tell a
story in the Manhattan club Of
Hearst's adroitness and cunning. It
seems that after Hearst had been de-
feated for governor of California a
number of his old friends met him at
the Grand Palace hotel and one Of
them said
Hearst, you see that the people of
California are dead on to you. They
don't want COMPOUNDED old ignora-
mus like you for governor. They don't
believe you can spell bird"
Spell it,
"B-u-r-d," replied Hearst.
"There!" rejoined the inquisitor,
you see the people of the state were
dead right when they believed you to
be an ignoramus. You can't even
spell bird"
''1'll bet you a case Of wine I can"
replied Hearst.
"Take it," replied the inquisitor.
Bird, bird" snapped out Hearst,
to the chagr1n of the group.
why, you COMPOUNDED old humbug,"
was the rejoinder, you just spelled 1t
b-u-r-d."
II wasn't betting then," replied Sen
ator Hearst.

Cleveland's View of Arthur

eral Arthur as president and the rea-
sons he gave for holding that opinion.
He discovered that there were always
mbarrassments, some of them seri-
Gus, awaiting newly inaugurated
president. Frequently, these are diff
cult in case the succession passes to
one Of an opposite party. But Gen.
eral Arthur became president because
Of the assassination of President Gar
field. Passion was aroused through
out the country. Grievous factional
disturbances had been created in the
Republican party. 1t was an extraor-
binary difficult responsibility that
awaited General Arthur in view of the
fact that he was recognized as one Of
the leaders of the Stalwart faction OF
the party, the faction that had placed
itself in opposition to the administra-
ton of President Garfield But Cleve-
land had good opportunity for learn
ing how skilfully and with what gen
tie firmness and complete sense Of
patriotic duty President Arthur met
the responsibility. He was particular
ly impressed by General Arthur's dis
play Of moral courage when he vetoed
the first river and ha-hor bill sent to
nina bill outrageously crammed
with pork And I distinctly remem-
Der what Mr. Cleveland said after he
had told Of the difficulties that had
beset Arthur and pointed to the fact
that by the end of his term the breach
In his party had been healed and there
was recognition in congress that pa
triot. conscientious and earnestly pa.
triotic citizen had been administering
the government:
I do not think that the country
as yet July realizes or appreciates the
high character Of the service of Pres
ident Arthur. But feel certain that
when the accurate history Of his ad-
ministration and times is written there
will come full appreciation. which
will be the abiding judgment of the
American people,"

SMALL WOMEN MAY REJOICE
Stripes, Long Revers, Short Trains
and High Heeled Shoes All
Help Them.

Now that stripes are at the top
notch of fashion it will be to the ad-
vantage of the short woman to take
some thought in the using of striped
material for her gowns and suits.
In fact the fashions are kind to the
short woman this season for with the
long revers on coats and wraps, the
simple cut and the small high toque,
any woman with little discrimina-
ton in choice may in very fact add
cubit to her stature"
In evening gowns the advent of the
short train has been heralded with de-
light by the small woman, for the
sweep Of goods at the back lends an
air of dignity, grace aud height to the
wearer that could not be gained with
the short length little girl frocks
which were popular throughout the
winter.
Another help is the high heel
not the insecure French variety,
which is only suitable for evening
wear, but the high straight heel with
a broad enough base to admit of rest
ing the foot securely on the ground
These are all immense helps to tho
small woman, who, IL she will but
take heed of them, may, in appear
ance, add several inches to her height.

Of straight twigs from which the bark
may be peeled. The twigs should
then be cut fiat on one side, so that
they will fit evenly against the side
of the box, to which they may be fast
ened with small thin, sharp nails.
These pieces of wood should be long
enough to entirely cover the sides of
the box and extend about a quarter of
an inch above the edge, and should
be arranged as closely together as pos
sible. At each corner two longer
pieces of wood are nailed so that they
form legs to the stand and raise it
an inch or so from the table.
When complete, the stand can be

covered with gold paint, and in the.
latter case the twigs may be left in
their rough state and the bark need
not be taken from them.
