Xn which all Advertisements appear for THE PRICE OF ONE ISSUE.

HOW THBfY BUY HATS, When a man buys a new bat he does aot give the subject a moment's thought nor even consult his wife about it. He is going by a hat store, makes up his •nind that the straw hat he is wearing is a little out of season, rushes in, gives his size, looks at two hats, one black and the other light, takes which ever the hatter advises him to, pays for it, mashes it down on his bead, slouches the rim on •ne side, tilts it up behind, kicks his •Id bat under the counter, goes on the street, and two minutes afterward is perfectly unconscious of the fact that he is wearing anew hat, and remains so until he meets his wife at noon and is criticised for bis baste in buying, bis bad taste in selecting and his wasteful extra vagance in not bringing his old hat home.

With his wife it is different. She began wondering about the fall styles of hats and bonnets in midsummer. She consulted the fashion books later in the season and wondered if the new shapes would be becoming to her style of beauty. Still later she watched the windows of the millinery stores and scanned every new bonnet or hat, front profile and rear that she saw on the street. Then she began visiting inside the millinery stores and drove the good natured milliners to distraction at her patienoe in trying on every bonnet in the stores. Undecided as to which was most becoming to her, she brought two intimate friends to her rescue and took them along to decide for her. They being an able to agree she concluded to study over ttya matter for a week, and meantime at tended all the openings and gathered muoh information to confuse and unsettle what previous opinions she had formed on the subject. Then she went the rounds of the stores once more and tried on bonnefo until her head aohed and the milliners groaned in despair. Then she studied the matter another veek and finally took home a bonnet "for my husband to Bee." At home she tried it on at least fifty times and in as Many different ways and made ap her mind that she would keep it if "hubby" Iked it. When "hubby" oame home she got it oat of the band-box, put it on, and waltslngoat In front of him asked him how he liked it. "Like what?" "Why, my new bonnet, of oouree." "Whatt another new bonnet Well, If yon want to break me up, just go on In this style, baying 910 and 930 bonnets every two weeks. I'd like to know if Ibis is what I married you for—to be spending yoar time running around to all the millinery stores and running yoar husband in debt," and he slaps himself down in the chair where she had laid the band-box and mashes it beyond hope of redemption. The wife cries and declares she will go home to her mother that he is a greet brute that she has aot bad a new bonnet since the old one she had "done over" in the spring and that although this love of a bonnet cost hut 910, she can do without it and stay at home all winter, although her neighbors, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Jones, have All got them new bonnets—bat they have such Indulgent has bands. ---vf* 'This last remark uttered in a remonsirative tone generally has the desired eflbot. The husband says he was "wor aied about business" and Bpoke too hastily he did not mean anything she shall have the bonnet, and he gives her 910 to pay for it and 98 for pin money besides. The clouds roll away, domestic sunshine sheds its effulgent rays over everything from the tacks in the carpet to the Jewels in his wife's ears. When her husband is gone she tries on the bonnet again, makes up her mind she won't keep it, takes it back and gets another worth 916 which just suits her, says her husband will oall and settle the bill, and goes to church next Sunday with the proud consciousness that her bonnet "lays over" any other head gear in that congregation, "and don't you forget it."

WHBI* the notorious James Robinson, •r "Jack Sheppard," as he is known to the detectives, was sentenced in Philadelphia, the other day to three years in the penitentiary, he was advised to try to lead abetter lite, which lay entirely with blmself. "Yes," answered he, "I worked three years in yoar State prison and I know as much about shoe-making as I do about watches. They taught me in yonr prison to be dishonest. My principal work was to paste leather and pa»teboard together to make a thick sols to impose upon the public. The man having the contract was a Christian, a member of the church, and and at the time I called his attention to the pasteboard business he was foreman of the grand jury. They tend me to the State prison to make me honest and that is the way they do it." f-

Ricbaro K. Fox, owner of the Police Gaaet&e, is bat 35 years old, and has an income of $100,000 jeer. He started ten years ago with a cash capital of 910.

WOMEN AND WORK. Women might as well make up their minds that more and more of them every year have got-to earn their own living. It'sa sad fate, but it seems to be inevitable. There are fifty women laboring to support themselves now where there was one twenty years ago. The ratio is likely to increase rather than diminish. It is the natural result of the rapid growth of population in cities. The great towns are not favorable to married life. T&e increase of the expense of living is far more rapid than the increase of wages, when large towns are approached, and the matrimonial estate is one that is too expensive for young men to assume on ordinary incomes. To throw the blame on either sex for this state of affairs does not help the matter,any for the fact still exists, and as the artificial state of society, which increases in intensity with the growth of the community, is certain to continue, it is not likely that matters will mend much in this respect. To marry, and for the man to support the woman, is the naturals tate of society, and in new and sparsely settled communities there will be found few women who are obliged to depend on themselves for a livelihood- But the growth of cities works rapid changes in the condition of society, and introduces the artificial modes of living, which mean large numbers of both sexes who do not marry. At the present rate of development it will not be many years before by far the larger portion of the inhabitants of this country will be dwelling in cities. The expenses of supporting family will be increased much more rapidly than the recompense of labor. This has been the rule in other countries, and it is not seen how it can be otherwise here. It is not a pleasant prospect to the political economist to look forward to, but it seems to be inevitable. What the final fate of society is to be, as the world fills ap and this unhealthy condition grows general, it is difficult to conjecture, but it forces more serious reflections upon one who has the temerity to peer into futurity. Over it, however, the present generation need not worry. But it is time that yoang women began to reflect that it is already an even chance whether they will not be obliged, sooner or later, to support themselves. Their chanoes for marrying are growing less and less every year. This, not only because they are year by year growing older, but because there are year by year fewer marrying men. It is not a pleasant thought to contemplate, but it is one that it might be wise to force upon publio attention.

THB performances by the Davenport brothers and other Spiritualists are olumsy compared with the arts of the far Northwest Indians. The conjurem are legion that will permit themselvea to be bound, not merely hand and foot, bat the whole body swathed with thongs withes, ropes, and rawhides, and after ward tied op in a net, and then release themselves almost instantly on being plaoed in a little "medicine lodge" of skins constructed for the purpose, the bonds being thrown oat through an opening in the top, without a knot apparently disturbed. Dr. Archie Stock well writes that he recently saw a medicine man go through with a loag series of incantations, drammings, rattlingsof gourds, etc., for the relief of a consumptive lying in the oentre of an ordinary lodge. Suddenly he Announced that he had discovered the spirit that afflicted the sufferer, and thereupon, plunging his hands beneath the single blanket with which she was covered, drew forth the carcass of a fall-grown wolf, and flung it with great violenoe against the door, greatly to the delight, mystification, and satisfaction of the beholders. He now assured the friends of the speedy recovery of the squaw, but she died the same night, nevertheless.

EDUCATED BY THE NEWSPAPER. New York HeraKL A member of the manufacturing firm that employe five hundred men told the Senate Committee yesterday that the knowledge he possessed he got by reading the newspapers, and not from books, ana that by reading the papers be kept himself informed on the literature and current events of the day. Thousands of other prominent business men would make the same acknowledgement if questioned on the subject. The tendency of all literature is toward expansion, so the most industrious reader of books can lifetime become well in on the contrary, 'everything into as tew words as possible. Were a atudeat to

NEWSPAPER THE CHEAPEST THING. St Louis Spectator, When you buy a newspaper, whether yon pay a cent, two cents, five cents, or ten cents for it, you get more for your money than you do when buying an thing else in the world. I mean tl average newspaper. A newspaper is not only the cheapest form of literature in the world, but it is the cheapest thing in the world. It costs from fifty cents to a dollar to get a seat at the theater, and one of these sams, generally the latter, yon often pay to see a performance that you don't get as modi pleasure and aotual benefit, from as you would in treading a single copy of a good journal that costs all the way from one cent to ten. Anv sort of dinner costs yon fifty cents anf it is no tronbleat all, if you smoke, to spend a dollar for cigars. The man who drinks knows with what facility be rid of a quarter for two "cocktails," pleasurable and beneficial effect of which is often a matter of anions doubt with him. A carriage to go anywhere costs two dollar*, and one for an afternoon or a drive to the parks, coats from five dollars to seven.

AND

DOINGS.

"Divorceson the installment plan" are announced in New YorJt. Some people han no mor® sense than to ask a man who is Addressed by the title of "Colonel'? in wl|at w*r he w^i. it is gravely slated tlmtlfnce tbe death of President Garfield many Republicans in the western reserve have ceased to vote. |Ad^rf Allen ^l^o worked in Pffwitt, "Spurr A "Go's saw-mill at Nashville,^)y, Tenn., was thrown hear the"bu*z*aW by the log-carriage and frightened to death. He did not receive a scratch or contusion of any kind. The coroner ^verdict was "scared to death."

At the convention of saloon-keepers in Milwaukee it was resolved, on Thursday, that "drunkenness was dae not to ramshops, but to the lack of education in youth." This shows how erroneous is the Massachusetts law which requires so many feet of space to intervene between a bar-room and a school house* -A

A Bridgeport minister is worried because he performed a marriage ceremony Without looking at the license. After the ceremony he found that the document was issued in Massachusetts, and now he'does hot know where his couple are spending their honey-moon, so as to warn them that they mast begin all over again.

W. D, Howells does not believe in taking vacation after hard work. He "fails to see that long terms of intellectual inactivity are beneficial." On the contrary, he thinks them injurious. There is reluctanoe about taming to work again Rather than take a long vacation he apportions his work so that it never becomes irksome.

An exchange says: "Fashionable New York mothers lay awake at night to bear the footsteps of their boys coming home." If fashionable mothers woald apply a touch of Solomon to those late coming boys it would be mighty wholesome treatment. Since the oldfashioned slipper of oar grandmothers went out of style the American youth has steadily deteriorated in morale It was a wonderful persuader.

When a bummer has spent his last cent at a certain Chicago bar, and proposes the opening of a running aocount, he is informed that it can't be done. But if he prefers warmth inside to oat side, his coat, vest, or hat will be purchased, and payment made in drink. The dicker stops only at his trousers and shirt. The stock obtained is pat on sale in a second-hand clothing branoh of the establishment. A man may here liter ally drink his clothes off his back.

HEP, HEP, HAY-FOOT, &TRA WFOOT!" Chicago Inter Ocean. There was one valuable oatgrowth of the conditions of oar foar years' war to which few persons have givenany thought. We refer to the Intelligent discipline of the feet. The man who went into the shoch of battle by the hundred thousand advanced toward thp glory crown of ill-starred success at a regulation tread, keeping the uniform measure of a step thatlied as much to do with preserving the vitality and eneri and therefore the oourage of the soldier, as the rataplan of the spii it-stirring drum Never was the valae and benefit of a proper direotlon of the foot made So thoroughly well understood at durinr the drill service thst prepared the con tending armies for the field. The "hep hep, left foot, right foot, hep" outoffioer primer lesson in the modes of warfare, and was the basis of all other knowledge of th gained in the military oollege open field. It gave bearing, {wise, pur pose and solidity to the man educated to it, and from the special it spread to the geueral—the precision of step and the

correct use of the feet come firmness of carriage, grace of movement and definite direction: and from the close of the war until within a few years past there was everywhere observed the balanced motion of the regulation walk. The toes maintained the standard angle of projection and the heels comfortably acquaintance when the feet were in repose.

PIN MONEY FOR FARMER'S WIVES. New Bedford Mass., Standard. Yesterday as a gentleman was drivlO into town from Wesport, he was haile mysteriously while passing throagh Darmouth by a farmer who bad posted himself out of sight of his house. The gentleman reinea up, and the farmer accosted him with the remark: "Mr. can yon change a bill for met My women want to go into town shopping, and if I give them this bill they will spend every cent of it," The gentleman with visions of a bank note of large denomination before his eyes, expressed his donbts of being able to render the re

quired

accommodation. However, when

the farmer produoed the bill and showed that was of the denomination of 91. and said h* wanted to give the women GO cents, the gentleman's fear vanished and he changed the bill and drove away amiling to himself audibly.

WHAT'S IN A NAME* Baldwin* Monthly. ''What's in a name?" More jtbs and tackle than ii would take to equip a whole fleet. Does not the word spinster almost invariable suggest a tall, angular female, with a face like a cast iron nutmeg grater? Yet, I have seen some of the deareBt litt?e spinsters that the heart of man ooald delight in, roand and plump as partridges, with the wickedest of eyes and the moat cunning dimpies. There is no reason why an old maid should be a petrified sepuicher for buried hopes, or that it should be remarked of hen "Poor thins! I suppose she never bad a chance." Perhaps the oor thing" is inwardly congratulating herself that she is not, like the speaker, the wife of a man who kindly allows her to attend to all of his wants, and calmly ignores the fact that ate may ever have any of her own. That there are good men, who make the best of husbands, I sincerely believe bat their scarcity puts me in mind of the little hoy's reason for asking to be helped to a third slice of pudding—because the raisins scattered.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.

Our children look upon the hour before bedtime as their own personal prop-

^fien the tea-things are cleared away, we all repair to the dining room grandpa lays aside his newspaper, and grandma ber knitting, and for a while we make the welkin ring with "Puss in the Comer," "Open the Gates," and the rest, all as fresh and dear to the children's eart's now as they, were to ours .twenty ears ago.

Cousin Annie brought a reinforcement of games and amusements to us this fall, when she came on her yearly visit, and as we had Aunt Lucy and her three little nes at the same time, and sister Susie from aroand the corner with five more, these, with our own four, made a merry party indeed. We decided to devote the first half hour to the very little ones. "Who has the Button?" is a never failing delight to them. It is amusing to watcn little three year old Hobart's face in the grand suspense while the button is going the rounds—"Hold fast what I give you" —and the supreme moment of the day to him is when, at the call of "Button, arise!" he is able to jump up and show it in his own fat little bands.

We had a new and good variation of the 'Dutch Doll,'which pleased the older ones as much as the children. Qne of older boys laid down on the floor on bis brck, with his legs under the sofa, holding his hands together and high in the air. His arms were dressed in a child's clothes, with his hands stuffed so that a babe's

and the face made by a marked with charcoal to represent eyest nose and mouth. The boy's head must have a pillow on each side and a light sbawl thrown over, to give him plenty of breathing room, also drapery on the Bofa to hide nis legs. Then the children are called in and made to stand at a little distance and ask questions, which the nutch Doll answers by nods or shakes of the head. It can dance, go to sleep (by falling backward slowly on the sofa, or some one's lap), shrug Its shoulders, shiver, or go through any number of antics according to the genius of the operator. Or it cau be made a talking doll by the boy disguising his voice.

I wonder how many little ones have tried the "Cathedral Bell" with a silver tablespoon tied to the middle of along piece of twine., Take one end of the twine in the right hand and one in the left, and hold it in each ear. Place two wooden chairs back to back, a little distance apart, and swing the spoon from one to the other, letting it strike the baok of the chairs. Tho sound is like a sweet, deep-toned chnrch bell

Perhaps hereafter I will tell you of some of the older children's games, and their tableaux, which keep them busy many a rainy day and winter evening.

FLORENCE STANLEY.

HOW LONG TO SLEEP. Dio Lewis Monthly. Probably no better division of time has ever been made than that into three eqnal periods of eight hours each—eight hoars given to business, eight to reading ana improvement, and the remaining eight to sleep. For myself, I find that nine or ten hours' sleep in a single night will care me of all trifling maladies with which from time to time, I may be afflicted. Some extraordinary advice has been given by certain distinguished persons with reference to the time devoted to sleep, but each writer falls into the blander of applying a "rule to all which he finds good in his own case. Bishop Taylor advises three hours. Wesley suggests six as the least time that will answer. He declares that during bis life he never knew any one to retain vigorous health, even for a year, with a less qaautity than six hours, and be thought that women required more than men. Excess of sleep is very bad in its influence produces dullness of mind and body, corpulency and disposition to apoplexy hence Galen calls sleep the brother of death, and says that nothing is more pernicious when carried to excess. The Americans should go to bed at 9 o'clock and rise between 5 and 6. I do not mean to say that circumstanoes may never justify their sitting ap until midnight, or later, but I am simply Interpreting the voice of physiology. If the average American with the narrow chest and small vitality, would retire at 9 o'clook be would live some years longer and each year would afford him more happiness and ability to work.

INGENIOUS YOUNG WOMEN. From the Troy Telegram. Monday there was -a big excursion from the collar shops to Saratoga. Hundreds of Troy's pretty yoang ladies went to Saratoga.

The sky threatened rain. The yoang ladies wore bustles. Perhaps there was no connection between the threatening sky and the bustles—and perhaps there was.

Shortly after the excursionists reached Saratoga the rain began to pour. Many of the young ladies with their escorts were seated in the parlor of a hotel when the rain began to fall. The prospect was dismal as viewed from the hotel windows. Within it seemed ssd, too. The airy and tasty dresses of the excursionists mu*t be spoiled by a venture on the street. Umbrellas were few and far between, and there seemed an entire death of outside coverings.

Bat witness the ingenuity of the yoang lsdies of the day. As if by preconcerted action the young ladies arose one after the other and left the parlor.

In a few minutes they returned. All wore gossamer cloaks. But the bustles were gone.

WINTER BONNETS.. New York San.

Fanchon bonnets will remain in vogue. Leather bonnets are among millinery novelties.

The Shakespeare poke is the latest fancy in big bonnets. For theater wear the Fancboa is the favorite bonnet.

Chenille appear in various forms on hats and bonnets. White bonnets are restored to favor for evening wear.

There is as much variety in millinery ornaments as there is in shapes ana materials.

All kinds of hats and bonnets, large, small and medium sice, and in every imaginable shape, are in fashion.

Household Hints.

On stains on carpets, if action is taken at once upon the oil being spilled, may be removed by scratching corn meal upon, them. The meal will absorb the oil. Ajbo the application of a hot iron tJ^ug^|beav^8b|Btof blotting paper

lithe house-plants are becoming pale andSiakly, a dose of ammonia, a few drflbs in the water you water them with, win revive them like magic. It is the concentrated,esspnce of fertilizers, and aicis upon plant life as tonics and sea air upon human invalids.

A novel substitute for a tidy is simply a bow of ribbon. This, if of handsome ribbon, looks extremely well on the back of a small sofa, and if this in two parts put a bow on each one. The ribbon should be wide and of good quality. If inclined to decorate, a spray of flowers, hand painted or embroidered would be appropriate and pretty.

If the silver which is not used every day is put in canton-flannel bags and then has bits of camphor gum laid around it, it wil} not turn black. Make some-little bags the size of a thimble and put the gum in them.-' This will save a great deal of time which would otherwise 1m consumed in polishing the silver, and if the silver is not solid the plating will last longer if cared for in this way.

Never throw away old paper. If you have no wish to sell it, use it in the house. Some housekeepers prefer it to cloth for cleaning many articles of furniture.

For instance, a volume written by a lady says: "After a stove has been blackened it can bc£kept looking very well for along time by rubbing it with paper every morning. Rubbing with paper is

suds. Rubbing with paper Is also the best way of polishing knives, tinware, and spoons they shine like new silver. "For polishing mirrors, lamp chimneys, etc., paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves ana pickles keep much better if brown paper instead of cloth is tied over the jar. Canned fruit is not BO apt mold if a piece of writing paper, cut to fit the cans, is laid directed on the fruit. Paper is much better to put under a carpet than straw. It is warmer, thinner, and makes less noise when one walks over.i

FOR THE COOK.

Fresh meat beginning to sour will sweeten if placed out of doors in the cool air over night.

Pancakes are easier to pour when prepared in a tin kettle with a spout. A small one can be purchased for the purpose.

A very palatable dish can be made of mashed potatoes and a little finely chopped meat of one or more kindB, mixed together, flavored with salt and pepper, and fried in small flat cakes.

Beef balls are very nioe fried in suet. Round steak can be used for these. Chop the meat fine, season well with pepper and salt and any herb you may choose, shape them like flat balls with your hands, dip in egg and fine cracker or breadcrumbs, ana tried in the hot suet.

VEAL Oysters—Cut the veal in small squares, dip in butter, and fry until brown in not lard. Serve while very hot, with a pinch of cayenne pepper and plenty of salt on them.

OYSTERS AND CREAM ON TOAST—Scald a pint ot oysters in their own liquor, add a cup of cream or new milk, and a heaping teaspoon of batter, same of floar rubDetftogether a little pepper and salt pour, boiling, over hot battered toast and serve directly.

JAM SAUCE—This is an easy sanoe to make for puddi ngs. Take a teaspoonfa 1 of raspberry Jam, two tablespoonfuls of water, half an ounce of pondered and half a teaspoonful of (tatter put in

water first, then butter, and then sagar and then add jam when it is nearly boil ing take it off and add a wineglass of sherry, or brandy, or instead of water yon can use all red wine.

STALE BREAD—Dip the slices in wellbeaten eggs, then, after frying ham, fry the bread in the ham-gravy, adding a lump of batter If necessary fry the bread antil it is alight brown, and send to the table. But it is good also if ftied in the fat cat from slices of steak or roasts.

To BAKE BEEFSTEAK—Place a large teaderlola steak, an inch and a but thick, in a baking pan, cover half with a dressing of bread, butter, an onion, salt, pepper, and water enough to make quite soft fold the other half over and cover tightly with flour, salt pepper and butter bake three quarters of an hour in a quick oven. Make gravy as from sny roast.

COLD MEAT DISH—Take any sort of meat (cold) and suet, mixed chop very fine add salt, onions, minoed ham or tongue, a slice of bread soaked in milk, two well-beaten eggs, one ounce of butter stew all together gently for fifteen minutes turn it into a mould and bake till brown. Turn out on a hot dish, and cover with the gravy strained off when moulded.

POTATO BALLS—Wash, pare and soak itoes as you think you will ly allow two for each per- "|,

as man need. Usuall son, as yon wish to be sure of enough, and if any be left over they can be so easily utilized and made into such palatable dishes that they are never lost or wasted. Oook them in boiling, salted water for half an hour, or until tender drain them, and if they are small, put two at a time in a coarse napkin and ring out the water in the potato. Then turn them out carefully into a hot platter, and serve at once. Tbey are light, dry and mealy, and look quite like mock snow-balls. You mast take care to wring the napldn hard, so the potato will keep a good round shape.

STEWED STEAK WITH OYSTERS—Two pounds of rump steak, one pint of oysters, one taolespoonful of lemon juice, three of batter, one of flour, salt, pepper, one cupfal of water. Wash the oyster in the water and drain In to a stewpan. Pat this liquor on to heat. As soon as it comes to a boil, skim and set back. Pat the batter in a fryingpan, and when hot, pat in a steak. Cook ten minutes. Take ap the steak and stir the floar into the batter remaining in the pan. Stir antil a dark brown. Add the oyster liqaor and boil one minute. Season with salt and pepper. Put back the steak, caver she pan, and simmer half an hour then add the oysters and lemon juice. Bail one minate. 8erve on a hot dish with points of toast for a garnish.

HOW SHE BROKE HIM. Lafayette Courier. A Lafayette lady—a model wife and mother—broke her husband of the saloon habit by walking up to the bar beside him and calling for the beer. She broke the awful silence as they walked home with the remark: "I loveyou, my has-. band, and if yon are going to hell I'm going right along with you.''
