HOW TO DRESS CHILD KiN.

The maternal pride that prompts all Mothers to dre&s their children as well as possible under adverse circumstances also induces them to spend many an hour over their clothes without begrudging either the labor or time. Fortunately, the most appropriately dressed girls are the plainest clothed but, by being plain in style, it does not follow that the little froclr is not to be of a dainty material, tastefully mode and in a becoming manner. Do not put too somber a color upon a sad faced child neither have all around sashes on a stout little figure, which requires tapering effects.
A little thought will soon settle this part of the task, which is the simplest. Blouse suits of the cottons imitating flannel lawn tennis flannel, which is part cotton, and all "wool blue and white flannel and serge are the most comfortable of play dresses, and for little ones nothing con replace them. If trimmed in any manner,let itbe with cotton or woolen braid, according to the material of the dress. Sew the gathered skirt, which is amply full and hemmed, to a silesia underwaist, and have a sailor blouse, with the regular sailor collar and coat or shirt sleeves, with around neck or tiny band as preferred. Misses wear the blouse suits made in a similar style, and their half worn skirts may be entirely worn out with two or three odd blouses made in this fashion, or as belted waists of wash surah or striped tennis flannel.
Nainsook for gimps may be had ready tucked, or the white embroidery can be used. Separate gimps are advocated, as they are easier to wash. White frocks are of plain nainsook or embroidered flouncing, twenty-seven inches wide. Those of last season may be remodeled by adding a waist belt of insertion, vest of the same and revers of edging over a tucked gimp. If the skirt is too short, lengthen it with a row of insertion let in. Plaid and striped ginghams are always neat with accessories of embroidery, and small figured sateens are frequently made ever for little ones and worn with the inevitable gimp, which
iB
called an "American
idea," though it originated in Franco. Any dress to be made over for a young girl can have new sleeves, yoke and skirt border of tartan plaid woolen goods, cut bias. This may be used for any plain, dark woolen goods, and if the renovated dress is of striped material the extra portions added are of plain cashmere. Their sleeves are full', collars high, or plaited and turned over, and the skirts are usually full and gathered. Round waists, jacket bodices and pointed basques having full fronts, are worn by young girls, with full \vests, girdles, half belts and cuffs similar to those worn by older girls. The only silk addition made to their toilets is of surah or India silk in email figures.—Ladies' Home Journal.
Tito Father of Photography. Wliat fact more commonplace to our mind than the photographic process of portrait taking! Many of us remember the original form of these sun pictures— the daguerreotype, specimens of which, once in awhile, we draw forth from some unexplored drawer, carrying us back to the forgotten days of childhood. It was no further off than 1838 that Madame Daguerre, the wife of the inventor of the process, had an earnest consultation with one of the medical celebrities of the day concerning her husband's mental condition. After acquainting the physician with the many indications of Daguerre's mental aberration, she added, with tears in her eyes, that the concluding proof of his insanity was his absolute conviction that he would succeed in nailing his own shadow to the wall 01" in fixing it on magical metallic plates.
The physician listened -with profound attention to this culminating evidence of mental derangement, answering that he, himself, had observed in Daguerre strong symptoms of madness. He closed the consultation by advising that her husband should bo sent quietly and without delay to the well known lunatic asylym, Bicetre. Two months later the world of art and science was stirred to its center by the exhibition of a number of pictures actually taken by the new process. Arago, in January, 1839, laid an account of ther process before the Academie des Sciences, and soon the "lunatic" was heralded as the father of photography.—Arena.
A Husband's Trick.
The devices that men employ to fool their wives aa to the hour at which they reach home are numerous, but a newspaper man hit on a new one not long ago. It is queer the same trick has not been adopted with enough frequency to have become popular. This man has a clock in his house that strikes "1" at the half hour, and when he has a night off he gauges himself to get home a few minutes before some half hour. If it is 4 o'clock ho waits until about 4:20, and then ho goes bustling in, making noise enough to wake up the dead. The sleepy wife throws the covers off her head and says: "Ohl is tlVat you? What time is it?" The husband replies carelessly: "Time? Nearly 1, I guess I don't know exactly, my dear.' By this time the clock strikes "1" and the wife is satisfied. Long before th6 hour Of is reached the wife is again fast asleep, and she never suspects her lord and master has played it on her.—Chicago Herald.

Never allow yourself to be awakened in the morning. Go to bed early enough to have your sleep out. It is very injurious to get up day after day with your sleep unfinished.

THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY
JUTCHES3 COUNTY'S BIG (WERN DAUGHTERS OF EVE
%.n Interest In Hole In tho f.rownd Near ttio Foot of Mount Klga.
Near the eastern boundary of Dutchess county, almost in the shadow of Mount Riga, is one of the greatest natural wonders of the state. It is a cave or passageway into the mountain, which is called Cave Hill, and its depth has never been known. Its opening resembles a roughly cut doorway into a great rock. A diminutive stream of water trickles down the mountain and into this opening, which would seem the only agenoy by which such a tunnel could have been worn into the rock, but the size of the cave some distance within precludes the idea of its having been made by so small a stream.
The opening is just large enough for one person to enter, and the way is a rough and dangerous one. The rocks are covered with a- slimy substance that makes every foot of the way slippery and treacherous. After much cautious moving and squeezing through the narrow opening the party came to a large dome shaped place, which, in the gleam of the torches, resembled a small ice palace, while drops of water constantly fell from some unseen place. The way leading into the cave is on a sharp downward incline, and some of the spaces are very large, many of them being about five feet wide and fifty feet high, and, looking up through the dim light of the torches, dozens of ugly looking rocks seem suspended from the glittering arches by very slender hangings, and the sight is not calculated to produce a home like feeling. The party followed this dark hole in the mountain for nearly half a mile, occasionally stopping to explore niches and apartments on either side that suggested the story of the catacombs.
Finally the amateur explorers came to a precipice from whioh nothing but darkness could be distinguished. One of the party dropped a stone into the darkness, and the time that expired before it struck ariything seemed almost as long as it takes a stone to reach the river when dropped from the Poughkeepsie bridge, and when ft did strike there was a peculiar rattle and a sound like a much larger stone falling into a pond. Almost on the edge of this precipice are two names cut into the rock. They are J. C. Dayton and D. C. Dakin, both dated 1840. Other names are cut in the rock nearer the opening of the cave, one as lately as 1875.
The cave is without doubt perfectly natural. Looking up from its deepest reccc° it looks as though tftfere had once been a narrow chasm like that through which p?j-ts of the Ausable river winds through the Adirondacks, and that the rocks had met at the top, thus closing the chasm and sending huge rocks down, partially filling the opening and leaving a treacherous footpath through it all.
There are stories and legends connected with this cave which have never appeared in print, although some of the people that live in the mountain are thoroughly familiar with them. Some New York explorers once visited the cave, and one of the party, a young woman, became frightened after entering and nearly lost her life before she could be rescued. About twenty years ago a stranger inquired from the woodmen where the cave was. When shown the opening he exclaimed, "Ah, 'tis mine! 'tis mine!" and at once prepared to enter it in search of hidden treasure, which he said was there. The poor man was insane, and in his wanderings had heard of this strange place, and at once associated it in his mind with untold fortunes, just as insane men nearly always do. He built a hut on the hillside near the cave and went every day into its gloomy depths and crawled about, often without light, even in the winter. In this weary way he wore his life away, and was found by

ers one day dying in his cabin and still raving for his gold in the cave. The mountain into which tlie, strange channel extends is one of the wildest in Dutchess county. It is covered with white birch trees so thickly set that one can hardly pass through. Many of the trees are dead, and the reporter, not particularly muscular, easily broke off several of them with an ordinary push.— Poughkeepsie News Press.
Rapid Talkers in Germany. I
Herr Hofer, of the Dresden institute, is an expert in shorthand writing, and he has been making an estimate of the rapidity with which certain famous members of the German reichslag deliver their speeches. He reports that Herr Rickert speaks at the rate of 153 words a minute Herbert Bismarck, 144 words Fehr von Stumm, 148 words Dr. Bamberger, 129 words Herr Singer, 121 words, and Dr. Bushing, 112. When we take ,into consideration the exceeding length of the G«rman words we are compelled to admit that these are certainly instances of wonderfully rapid speaking. —Eugene Field's London Letter.

KNOTS AND SPLICES.
The overhand knot is made by passing the end of the rope over the standing part and through the bight.
To tie the figure of eight knot, take the end of the rope round the standing part, under its own rt, and through the lower bight.
A common bend knot is formed by passing the end of a rope through the bight of another rope, then round both parts of a rope and down through its own bight.
The timbur hitch knot Is made by taking the end of a rope round spar, passing it under and over the standing part, and then passing several turns round its own part.
The rolling bend knot is something similar to a fisherman's bend. It is two round turns round a spar, two half hitches around the standing part, and the ends stopped back.
To tie the fisherman's bend knot, take two turns round with the end of a rope, then form a half hitch round the standing part, and under the turns, and another h^lf hitch round the standing part.
To make two half hitches, pass the end of the rope round the standing part and bring it up through the bight—this is one half hitch two of these, one above the other, constitute two half hitches.
A short splice is made by unlaying the ends of two ropes, or the two ends of one rope to' a sufficient length, then crutch them together draw them close and push the strands of one under the strands of the other, the same as the eye splice.
To tie a reef knot, first make an overhanded knot, supposing it to be round a yard then bring the end nearest to you over the left hand, and through the bight haul both ends taut. This knot is used chiefly for joining the ends of ropes or lines together.
To make a bowline knot take the end of the rope in your right hand and the standing part in your left lay the end over the standing part then with your left hand turn the bight of the standing part over the end part then lead the end through the standing part above, and stick it down through the cuckold's neck formed on the standing part.
