wo never to ask

question, or try to help a well dressed soman, even when I know her to belong ^'"one of the best families!' 1 have these lines in my pocket, as you .Sec, and 1 read tbam to you because the hist Lime I wiiHon this line an interesting thing happened. A young woman, a little over Vra^cd, if you ple.iHC, stopped the car that (to? might leave it. She dropjied the parJel that -she had feen downtown to buy. I Raw it fall and touched her and told her ,that she had dropped her parcel. But, unfortunately, I had. never been pre.seuted to bier we had not danced together at Pananti's, nor were wo membcru of the same J:lub. She, therefore, looked at me with I^ie vigorous manner to which our friend T.llude* in the letter, a good deal as if I had truck her In the fat* and in this way expressed her iudignatiou that any man should have addressed her who had not the honor of her acquaintance. I am, however, C8 years old, and I stand such things better than a boy does. So I said, very pleiumntly, "You have dropped your parcel, and it is under your feet." Again she resented the insult with a look—not with a word, observe—and swung out of the car, dredging the parcel after her by l/her dress,

that it fell in the mud in the

street. There the next horse that came along trod upon it, I suppose, and I suppose what is left of it is there now. I am free to Hay I think it was good enough for her.—Hov. K. K. Hale in Now Englaud Magazine. ___

CuiiipInK on the Veranda.

One of the most delightful reminiscences of my last summer in the country was* the gummer room which my friend fashioned on the wide veranda of her cottage. She painted the tloor a dark drab, which is better than any deeper color for the tloor of the porch or veranda, because it does not show the dust, and dust is one of the delights of a summer day. A breadth of fancy straw matting was fastened up ngalnst the wall of the house and along the railings for a dado. Above this, against the house, hung a few sketches in black aud white and water colors in plain oak bands, bark mid rustic frames to harmonize with thusurroundlugs. This cottage, by the way, was painted the new s^iule kuovm as "EifTul Tower," which has almost a silvery cast in some lights, and made an admirable background.

A hammock was hung across one corner a bamboo couch, one or two wicker chairs a rocker and a couple of hassocks promised luxury either sitting or lying. The hummock aud couch were furnished with pine noodle aud rose leaf pillows covered with bright chinu, and these, with the breath of the woods and spring upon .-them, made repewo a delight. A paper rack "ind set of bamlnio liook shelves served hold such papers and fx)oks as were used from time to time. As this was a mosquito region the veranda was inclosed with wire netting. There were adjustable awnings to protect this "room" from suu •or ruin. Hugs were brought out and pj'iu'od about, aud it was here, In preference to any other part of the house, that to gentlemen lounged or smoked or read ajftoud and the ladies seweil or made riekack all through that memorable summer.

Why Women Are Vain.

"1 ,«un one of the womeu," said a woman the other day. "who willingly confess that our sox is vain. Ami you may bo sure that we do not like to have our vanity wounded. When I see a pretty ribbon which tiecoines luy complexiou, or

bit of lace which 1

know will catch the eye of my husband -when he comes home from the office, I always fool that I have gained a victory In Advance,

If yon think, you bachelor (and

the bachelor tried to look miserable), that I wear pretty gowns and bright ribbons Atid dainty bonnets for my self gratification alone*you are wry much mistaken. I Avoar them because I know that my hus 'band will admire them, or that when men sec me aud meet me they will find them attractive. "That is the whole secret of a woman's desire to Ihj well

dressed.

And do you

Then I laugh when I tell him that the expensive luxury cost just sixty-five cents."—New York Tribute.

Matching the Complexion.

For years it was thought that yellow of any shade was peculiarly the color for brunettes. and that blondes should never wear it. This has now been shown to be a great mistake.

A woman of the deadest white skin, with light blue eyes and pale blond hair, becomes a poem when ihe dons a yellow gown.

yellow frock and a yellow fan have been known to transform a rather plain blonde into a vision of almost perfect loveliness. How could it fail to be so? All the lines of blond beauty are Mr and *tmuy. Why, then, should it not follow that they are set off to the best advantage ami brought Into more admirable prominence by similar tints? To my mind like has as much attraction for Uke in the law of beauty in that of love,

tar Ism

not

one of those who believe In the doctrine that people are attracted by their opposite But it must net be irappo*d that preds»* fcr the «ame shade of Fallow will salt

blonde. There are many type® °f blonde beauty—as many as there are shades of scarlet—-each wholly different and distinct from all ths others. In dressing a blonde In yellow the point is to frame her beauty In that shade wijich shall harmonize perEectly with it.

It used to be thought that light blue was the color par excellence for blondes. Now, modistes, who are artists in color as well, are awakening to the fact that bine is chilling to blond beauty, which needs the tints of tbe sun and not those of tbe sky td give it warmth. It is the brunette, with her own rich warmth of color, who may becomingly wear even that shade of bine so long considered sacred to babies.—St. Paul Globe.

How to Save Boys.

Women who have sons to rear, and dread tbe demoralizing influences of bad associates, ought to understand the nature of young manhood. It is excessively restless. It is disturbed by vain daibition, by thirst for action, by loggings for excitements, by irrepressible desires to touch life in manifold ways. If you, mothers, rear your sons so that your homes are associated with the repression of natural instincts you will be sure to throw them in the society that in any measure can supply the end of their hearts. They go to the public house at first for the animated and hilarious companionship they find there, which they find does so much to repress the disturbing restlessness in their breasts.

See to it, then, that their homes compete with public places in their attractiveness. Open your blinds by day and light bright fires by night. Illumine your rooms. Jiang pictures upon tlio walls. Put books and newspapers upon your tables. Have music and entertaining games. Banish demons of dullness and apathy that have so long ruled in your household, and bring in mirth and good cheer. Invent occupations for your sons. Stimulate their ambitions in worthy directions. While you raake home their delight, fill them with higher purport2s than mere pleasure. Whether they sliall pass happy boyhood and enter upon manhood with refined tastes and noble ambitions depends on you.—Ram's Horn.

Never Whip the Baby.

I would submit as a treatment for the baby who insists upon playing with the poker dangerously near the fire, not a spanking, with its sobs to follow not the dark closet, with its horrors to influence a precious life but just what I saw my friend do. There was a tender flowering plant, with green leaves and bright flowers in winter, and the little child was seized with a desiro to caress the sweet bloom—not to pluck it. His xaothor said, "Come here, pet." He started from the impulse of habit, but like older ones tempted he could not leave the flower, but returned aud fairly crowed in his glowing good nature, unmindful of his disobedience. "Come," said the mother, "see this kitty." Still ho Ungated. The mother waited no longer, but avoided all danger of starting the babe on the road to ruin by encouraging him to display anger by picking him gently up and attracting his attention to a favorite dog outside the window. Tho flower was forgotten that instant. It was moved soon after without attracting the baby's attention, and what might have been a stormy scene ended iu a pleasant romp and a laugh.—Cor. Detroit Free Press.

Xc it Way* of Mending.

An ugly tear in a prominent spot on a good dress is not at all au uncommon misfortune. First mend it. Do this, not with silk, cotton or linen spool thread, but with threads raveled from apiece of the dress goods. If there are no pieces of tho cloth in existence ravel off threads enough from along seam. Darn tho tear upon the right side in stocking fashion, darning over, not under, tho raw edges, and press upon the wrong side. Often a rearrangement of the drapery will hide a hole in the skirt sometimes if well re [mired it will not bo noticeable, though iu sight, but if it chances to bo in plain view, .say in tho middle of the box plait down tho front of ono's skirt, It is still not a crying matter.

Replait the front, turning tho plaits in the opposite direction, or put a row of silk or velvet ribbon down tho ceuter of each plait, or applied ornaments of gimps or beads, etc., or have ribbon loops and ends fall from the bodice over tho offending spot one loop can bo tacked at some distance from the end, so it will not look stiff, to keep it iu place over the mended place.— Boston Globe.

FeetlitiR the B«by.

When a baby is to be fed from a bottle, choose a common round one, with a black rubber nipple. Bottles with feeding tubes are au abomination. They cannot be kept clean without more care than is likely to bo given to them, and if the tube is not clean it is a fruitful source of disease. Keep the nipple in cold water when not in use, and iu summer add a pinch of baking soda to the water to prevent any suspicion of sourness*, rinsing the nipple in clear water before using.

Warm the food by setting the bottle in hot water. Remember that it needs to be only warm, not hot—about the temperature that the mother's milk would bo If the baby were being nursed.

When the child is satisfied pour out the remainder of the food, If any is left, rinse the bottle in cold water, wash thoroughly In warm water and scald with hot water. The mother or nurse cannot be too particular in the care of the bottle, if she wishes to keep her charge healthy.—Ladies* Home Journal.

Men to Avoid.

Don't marry a man whose friends smile at each other wheniiis name is mentioned and say, "Well, we hop© hell coma out all right, but he's sowing a few wild oats just now." Remember that what is sown before marriage is reaped after marriage. It will be very awkward for you to be obliged to rea that crop one of these days, and if you marry him yon will have the most of it to gather la.

Don't marry man whose linen is more spotless than his character, whose shirt collar Is more Inflexible than his integrity, and whose necktie is the only immaculate thing about him. Collars and enffis and neckties are all very but they do not make up a good husband, though they do very well on a tailor's dummy. Integrity of character Is as moch mora important than these things us a is of more fia-port-ance in tbe world than a dude.—D# troit Free

VTmh* laokisff tor Work. Every morning from fl to half-past 9 the ladles' reading room al tbe Cooper institute is Iserfeged with a do*en or mors of these seekers after place. They are always looking for work, nad, naliki the countess In "Olivette,** if tbey can't get what they want they won't take what they can get. Tbey come to the reading room to look through the advertising cc* a« of tb« morning paper*. Some of toolc baa-

some of them look cold, and all of have reached that ptmllag period id woman's Uf* when she neither yoaxig.

Did nor middle aged. They afford orte a curious study as they perose the columns. After jotting down a few addresses they throw the paper on the t&blo, and, with painful weariness, leave the room.—New York Press.

Good Health Drink.

A very nice medicine for the akin and for imparting liveliness to the limbs is this: True sarsaparilla root, cut in slices, four ounces sassafras root, rasped, two ounces dandelion root, four ounces, and one onnce of liquorice root infused in two quarts of water for twenty-four hours. The water should be filtered, if possible, and be just boiling when poured over the roots, and kept in a warm place just below the boiling point, closely covered. Boiling for the length of times required to reduce the ordinary preparations often renders the extract totally inert. This recipe is especially valuable from tbe sarsaparilla, which has a particular action on the skin, without producing dangerous perspiration. But medicines for the blood should never be taken without careful bathing and diet, or the immediate effect will be an eruption, which may be weeks in disappearing.— Shirley Dare in Philadelphia Press.

Th« Advantage of Boiler Towels.

There are few housekeepers who do not know the advantage of roller towels at one or more places in their houses where frequent washing is done. There should at least bi one in the kitchen and bath room, or wherever else the family "flock" to wash. In the "children's room" it presents great, advantages. It is hung up, and not on the floor it is always "there," and does not have to be hunted for while wet hands are dripping, perhaps it rolls along from wet spots to dry, in away very accommodating to a hurried boy or girl and it-is not easy to use it for awash cloth. And here let me say in connection with all towels they are not wash cloths, not even the corners of them, as many paople seem to suppose.—Mrs. Stafford, in Good Housekeeping.

What a Pretty Arm I« Hike.

The smoke of the fight about the decolIctte bodice has never enveloped the arm. Annie Jenness Miller says that if a woman's arm is pretty she should give its shapoliness frankly to the world if it is not pretty she should study sleeves. The ideal arm has a beauty of a wholesome, almost of a pastoral order itjjears showing. It is clear skinned and rounded, and there is a gracious dimple just at the side of the elbow. The skin is soft, but the flesh is firm. Bsneath its smooth contour it is instinct with the strength that supports a tired child. It is a blemish if the lines are so full as to suggest the seraglio rather than the green fields.—Cor. Louisville Cou-rier-Journ^J.

A Pretty House Dress.

A pretty house dress is a princesse in pompadour stripes, with an overdress precisely like a pattern of apron dear to housekeepers, falling to the feet in front, with wide utraps over the shoulders, crossing at the back, while the apron itself covers the hips, meeting in the back. The effect is good, whether in summer brocade with apron of plain silk, or the striped challies with plain wool or lwiialine overdress, or the striped gingham with plain aprons. Tho costume is finished by along five inch sash round the waist, tied once in front, with ends hanging nearly to tho feet.— New York Star.

How to Wash Flannels.

"After my laundress has had my underwear under her care for two or three weeks," said some one the other day, "they are harsh and stiff aud shrunken out of all fit. It is very discouraging to pay a high price for undergarments and have them ruined iu one or two washings."

Let tho laundress put flannels in hot suds and rub them well between her hands, rinse and dry as quickly as possible, and they will retain their soft texture to the oud. To rub them on the washboard is to full and stiffen them, and to rub soap on them is to ruin them.—Cor. New York World.

Old Maid's Mascot.

I have heard of a lady on the west side who has a room to let that is in great demand by old maids. Within a few years four women who have occupied the room have been married while living there, or have left it to be marriet1.. The room is now vacant, and an excellent opportunity presents itself for some maiden lady matrimonially inclined.—Bangor News.

Belva Lockwood has a law practice that brings her iu more money than a congressman's salary has property in Washington worth $30,000, and a country place worth $5,000, all acquired in a comparatively short time from her legal business. This is more than she would have had if she had stuck to school teaching.

There is an old lady living in Polk county, Fla., who is quite a genius. She can write poetry and set it to music and has written two books. She hunts phosphate^ plants trees, clears land, works in an orange grove, can knit dresses, make neat shoes, plait hats of palmetto and make flowers out of shucks.

To wash hair brushes—One quart of tepid water, half a teaspoonful of spi. its of ammonia, wash the brushes quickly, rinse well In cold water, lay them in the air to drain and dry. Frequent cleansing does not injure, but prevents the bristles from becoming soft. Feather dusters are improved by same treatments

To remove white spots from polished furniture—Half an ounce each of raw linseed oil and spirits of turpentine, mixed with forty drops of spirits of ammonia. Apply with a snft cloth. A gentle rubbing will remove -tains in a few minutes. This preparation gives a fine polish to any hard wood. _________

To remove iron rust stains from linen, cover the stains with salts of lemon, moisten with cold water and expose to strong sunlight when dry moisten again. A few applications will remove the stains without injury to delicate fabrics

day sun that streams through and through the

the cabin window

chinks of the cabin wall. ,1 It is tho same sunshine as that of the weekday. Yet as the miner wakes and realizes it is Sunday it has a different appearance, and conveys a different impression from that of the weekday sun. Everything seems more quiet, more restful, and even more staid and serious. There belongs to it and to the landscape as he looks out a flavor of far-away eastern Sabbath bells and Sunday morning's hush and longer family prayer than usual and Sunday school. But there is not a church bell witliin ten miles, and there never will be one heard on this flat. There is not the least approach to church society or religious organizaton or observance. There is not, so far as known, so much as a man in the least religiously inclined. We are & hard lot. Nq work on the claim to-day. The pick and shovel will rest where thrown Saturday afternoon, and only a trickle of yellowish witter from the reservoir will seep through the long line of sluices instead of yesterday's muddy surge rushing through—sand, gravei, and grating pebble and bowlder.

But there is work of another sort to be done and a great deal of it. After breakfast, shaving. That small mirror of most imperfect glass, whose reflection distorts the features, screwing up one sido of tho face and enlarging the other in an unnatural fashion, is suitably adjusted. A Bmell of soap pervades the air. He lathers and shaves and relathers and reshaves with a tedious and painful precision, the while making faces at himself in the glass as he brings one portion of his countenance after another more directly under the sweep of the razor. In some cases he comes off with a few scratches or leaves a hirsute oasis hero and there of uncut bristle. Black pantaloons, a white shirt, a felt or straw hat, a linen duster and the Sunday boots. This is his dandy outfit. In his pocket is a buckskin purse, once yellow, now faded to a dull gray, holding gold dust', a few ounces more or less, perhaps five, perhaps ten.

It is the company dust and is to be sold and turned into bright, yellow gold pieces. And why all this preparation? "To go to camp." Camp is three miles away over the mountain yonder. A group of ramshackle cabins, alternating with saloons, three grocery stores, a hotel, an express office and a justice of the peace, all in a hot gulch, with hillsides long ago swept of trees, scarred with cuts and streaked with patches of dry yellowish ledge. "Camp" to him has all the importance and interest of a great metropolis. It is the center of news. The stage passes through it on the way to a larger camp. Two boss gamblers reside there. There is a faro game on occasions, a billiard table with a mountainous sort of bed, where the balls roll as they please and after an eccentric fashion of their own.

The camp is for him the first nerve center of civilization and the only outlet to the great world which he has left You, fresh from the great city, regard this dilapidated place ae an out of the way corner but to him, living on his remote flat, with but two cabins in sight for as many miles, camp is a place of importance.

He repairs first to the Magnolia. He has long in imagination seen it from afar. How cool is the big barroom. The landlord keeps the floor well wet down. That Magnolia floor is one of the few places where water, unmixed with other fluid, is useful and grateful. How comforting and soothing is the first drink. A long drink in along tumbler, with plenty of ice, soda water and whisky. If heaven be anywhere as a material locality it is in that first cool drink after a three mile July Cramp over the kiln dried hills and herbage of the California foothills. Tbe Magnolia is the social heart center of camp.

There he finds the doctor. The doctor drinks with htm. Tbe doctor drinks with everybody. There, too, is the justice of the peace, Tbe justice drinks with him. Hie justice holds his court at the Magnolia. The proprietor of the llagnoliais the camp constable, and between drinks during trial calls viva voce the witnesses in tbe case. The judge drinks with him. The judge gers#rally drinks. The principal camp gambler is at the Magnolia. He takes alight drink. He is a wise man and knows the advantage and profit o£ keeping a cool bead. The regular camp drunkard sits in the tear in one of the back of the billiard table.

He looks so humble, so respectful—and so dry, that our miner's heart moves to pity and he "asks him up." He complies, but not with undue haste. This treats of the era between 1865 and 1S70. The camp drunkard had not then so "lost his grip" as to be unmindful of a certain slowness, deliberation and dignity befitting a gentleman. But when he does arrive at the bar he takes a "four-fingered" drink.

Tbey stand in a row at the bar. The barkeeper is mixing tho "long" and the short drinks. Each man waits, says nothing and eyes every motion of the bartender. The silence is impressive. All is ready. Each glass is grasped and raised, and then from each to each, and more than all, from all to the drink donor, there is a nod, that incantatory phrase is uttered, "Well, here's luck," and tho poison is down. As it rasps, they call "Ahem!" with varied degrees of modulation. But this is a careful and prudent miner, and he now repairs to the store. There his dust is weighed, sold, and the week's provision ordered. His combined partners' "divvys" are put aside in a lump and safely stored. Now the weight is off his mind. He returns to the attractions of camp.

These are not numerous. There is the Magnolia, the Bella Union, the Court Exchange, the post and express office. There are the "boys." He learns the news of the county or district. The Mount Yernon is paying $4 per day. Long Shortman has gone on another spree and hasn't done any work for the last ten days. Jimmy McNeil has sent for his wife's sister. She is unmarried. Sullivan has had another row with his wife and she has complained to the authorities. Sam Gedney is going to run for county clerk on the Democratic ticket. Bob Delmame lost $200 at the game the other night. A San Francisco company have bought the Ci^izy gulch quartz lead and will put a ten-stamp miU on it. The schoolmaster was drunk last Friday night. Ford shot at McGillis the other night, but did not hit hiiji. There is scandal and talk concerning the Frenchwoman who keeps tho peanut stand, and the justice of the peace. The Wiley girls, two sisters, who have recently moved into camp, are making a sensation, and their small parlor at times won't hold the crowd of semi-bald and unconsciously middle aged miners and others who are calling on them with possible matrimony in prospective.

They may pass along tho afreet about the middle* of the afternoon, and such "ragging out" was never seen before in this camp. Tho curious have investigated the tracks made by their little gaiters in the red dust of the upper road, and report them the smallest feet ever seen in this section. Billy Devins, of the Blue-jay claini, is thought to have the best show with* the eldest, and Goldberry, of the livery stable, with the youngest. No. He won't let his best horse and buggy to anybody now, and takes her out riding three times a week. But they're snappy and. uncertain, and nobody can count on them for a certainty. So runs the week's news, which he picks up with sundry drinks.

Jle enjoys the luxury of a hotel dinner—a dinner he is not obliged, to prepare with his own hands—a decidedly plain dinner in metropolitan estimation, but to him, commencing with soup and ending with pie, a sumptuous repast. It is moonlight, and he takes his way back by the old trail home. Old not in years, but in association. It is but the track of twenty years or so, yet for him how old is it iu thought. How many, many times he has traveled over it.

That poker game is going on in one corner of the Magnolia. The "hard case" from over the hill is trying to beat it. He has been so trying every Sunday night in that same saloon and in that same cornc# for the last twenty years. He has grown old in trying. It has kept him poor, yet ho thinks he can play poker. Ho, is encouraged in this impression by a considerate few. He works for them. They "scoop him in" regularly. He will go home to-morrow morning, and during the week wash out a couple of ounces more for the benefit of "Scotty" and "Texas."

It is It o'clock and time to go home. That three mile walk is before him he has taken as many drinks as is prudent, possibly one or two more. The camp saloon revelries are beginning to quiet down. Most of the prominent drunks have fallen in the cause. The chronic drunk of the camp Is talking at the bar. But ho will thus talk all night he never stops talking—or drinking. He has been here more or less drunk ever since 1852. He is phenomenal and not a standard for ordinary intemperates. Almost every camp has known such ad runkard. Some are alive yet. They are of the immortal few not born to die. It would bo madness to compete with such,

So he srts out on his lonely walk. Of how much has he thought while plodding over it. Here the same big buckeye brushes against his face as it did in the "spring of '50," when he was twenty years younger and had a sweetheart in the "States," whoa® memory was fresh and warm. It has all died out since. The letters became less and less, the years more and

more,

and then all came

to a dead standstill, and he received the village paper, and there, appropriately below the column of deaths, he read of her marriage, whereat he went to camp and plunged wildly into all the concert saloon could give, and made things bowl and boldly challenged tbe chronic poker game and won.

The trail turns suddenly. It has run over tbe rocks by the river, its trail at times for many feet almost illegible, a vague, smoothly worn streak over ledge and loose bowlders, polished and strewn with new white sand and pebbles by some unusually high freshet. But here tine shelving bank suddenly ceases. It becomes a precipice. Up tbe hard worn

In tbe red earth be climb* forty, sixty feet. It is closely hedged cbemisaL How he emerges near tbe brow at the high, rocky bluff. In alt its moonlit glory surges, bubbles and roars the river below.
