Faithful Since 1869.
Judge Kimball in his letter said: II

faithfulness shown by long service Of
domestic servants, and in that connec-
tion desire to call to the attention of
your committee on this most commend
able enterprise case of such faithful
ness which it seems to me must be
exceptional.
In June, 1869, my mother, Mrs. E. S.
kfmball, engaged young colored girl
to nurse her first child, my sister, who
was born June 2S, 1863 That same girl
now a comparatively elderly woman. is

doing for many years. The length OF
her service is sufficient testimony OF heI
faithfulneSS."
Worked for Only Two Families.
Mrs. Allan Davis writes: my colored
maid, Annie Jackson, is worthy of place
service.
She entered my service october 4
1892. Some may show a longer service
but doubt if many could prove her equa1
for common sense. loyalty and excellence
of disposition. During the period she
has been in my employ she has lost fewer
| than ten days. Although she has never
been employed as a nurse, her manner in
dealing with the little ones is such that
have frequently been able to learn from
observation of her methods, how to i'm
prove my own manner toward my chill
dren.
"She has been employed in two families
only. Before she came to us she had
been with family that had employed
her since she was eleven years old. She
was with this family twenty-one years.
That makes forty-six years of loyal
service in but two families. She left the

How to Judge a

saying brunettes are quick-tempered.
But there is real common sense in lust
noticing whether the hair is we'll kept
to judge wouan's neatness. Ii YOU
are one of the few who try to make
the most of your hair, remember that
IT is not advisable to wash the hair
with any cleanser made for all pur-
poses, but always use some good
preparation, made expressly for sham
poomg You can enjoy the very best
by getting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving teaspoonful
in cup of hot water when your sham
poo is all ready. After its use the hair
dries rapidly with uniform color. Dam

and entirely disappear. Your hair
will be so fluffy that it will look much
heavier than il is. Its luster and soft
ness will also delight you, while the
stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair Growth.--Ady.

Muriel, who had just graduated
from an art institute, came to New
York filled with hope and the idea
that some day she would make her
name famous. She had more than
ordinary talent, but she had absorbed
great deal OF the talk, true and
false, that had circulated about the
institute concerning what sold in New
York, what kind Of material was val
liable and what artists were making
good and why.
Her fayorite teacher had given her
few words OF advice when she came
to say goodby.
You can never make good with art
or with anything else" he had said
confidently, unless you use your best
efforts Don't bother with work that
is not your forte, stick to the things
that you can do, no matter how sim
pie
And Muriel had taken up her resi-
dence in a hall bedroom in a New
York boarding house, resolved to sell
her work no matter what happened.
Now it happened that across the
hall lived two other girl artists who
did work rather cleverly and occa-
sionally sold il to magazines. Muriel
made friends with these girls and they
gave her some good advice.

ter and the outside of the shells being
coated with silver. The nacreous
splendor of the inner side of the aba
lone shells, forming the interior of
the. dishes, is remarkably attractive.
But it is when shells are employed
not to initiate something else in ma
ture, but for the sake of their own
beauty, that the most admirable orna-
mental effects are obtained with them.
This principle does not forbid their
use in the form of head dresses, belts,
pendants, etc.
Thus at the museum there may be
seen a life-size figure OF a Tahitian
"fire-walker," with his head encircled
with a garland of shells which have
not been disguised in the form of
imitation flowers. Primitive man in
this respect has really shown better
taste than civilized man, for among
savage tribes shells were not used
imitatively, although there were often
employed as symbols.
The Fijian chiefs wore the orange
cowry as badge of office, and shells,
used simply as shells because they
were in themselves beautiful, have
been found among the personal sdorn.
ments of early man i'll all parts of
the world.
Another use of shells more truly
aesthetic than their employment to
make imitation flowers is the adop-
ton OF their forms as suggestions in
the arts. Mr.. Ruskin thought that he
could trace such suggestions, derived
from the cookie shell, in some of the
ornamental features of European
architecture. A fine adalone shell
might afford to any artist fresh ideas
in the combination OF color tints.

Now, if they thought about it sensi-

You'll be sure to sell them"
And Muriel, forgetful Of her teach
er's advice, had set to work to make
pretty girl heads when her heart was
not in her work, and her mind was
filled with other things. Her work
looked dull and lifeless after she had
completed two pictures. But she set
forth with the watercolors in her port
folio, resolved to try every magazine
in New York before she despaired of
selling them. 1t was dreary work.
At some places she was asked to
leave her material, at others she was
told that the work was not quite what
they wanted. 20
She didn't blame the editors. But
it wasn't until her money was near

frightened and wonder what she
would do. Write home for money.

Beautiful shells were among the
first objects of adornment for his per-
son and his dwelling that were used
by man, and their forms and colors
furnished some OF his earliest lessons
in aesthetic education.
Shells were also one of the first
kinds of money. For the American In
dians wampum beads made from
shells took the place of gold. The
ornamental uses of shells, as Mr..
L. P. Gratacap shows in the Ameri-
can Museum Journal, are as curious
as they are numerous. The most
striking in appearance are the
limitations of flowers, although this
appeals to very primitive taste. 1t
is the ingenuity of the combinations
and the surprise felt that two such
essentially different natural objects
can be made to resemble each other,
that afford the pleasure given by the
sight of basket, or garland, of shell
flowers.
Petals, stamens, pistils, leaves.
stems, are all initiated in shell forms,
while in color tints and blendings it
is questionable whether some shells
are not superior to flowers. In the
property of iridescence the finer
shells certainly possess an advantage
over any vegetable sample. Pearls are
a kind of shell, formed within shells,
and they have always been regarded
as the most queenly of gems.
The Central American Indians have
long been famous for their skill in
making shell flowers, and some ex-
quisite specimens of their work are to
