Once four young people were playing a game similar to "authors," the only differ ence being that a "trick" consisted of four books of the Bible instead of the names of authors- 1 will call the young players Nos, 1, 2, 3 and 4, for convenience sake. No. 4 was a young woman from the coun try, and shewas very ignorant and uneducated—a fact of which she was painfully aware. As the game proceeded the other three called repeatedly for the book "Psalms." No one seemed to have it, and No. 4 was very sure it was not in her hand. But when ull the cards were dealt, and all the books save that one formed, they looked at each other and said: "Some one must have the book of Psalms! No. 4, are you sure you haven't it?" "Yes, I'm sure," said No. 4, with a weary, puzzled sigh "but I have the book of P-salms"—and she laid the cards on the table. There was an awful silence, and Nos. 2 and 3 went into very paroxysms of laughter which could not be controlled. "What is it?" said No. 4, turning first red and then white, while great tears rushed to her eyes. "Arc you laughing at me?" "P-salms!" roared No. 2, throwing his head back in a frenzy of delight. "Oh, myl Oh, myl"

Then No. 1 leaned over and laid a soft, tool hand on No. 4's arm, and said she, rery sweetly and gravely: "Never you mind, dear they are laughing at the way you pronounced the word. It isn't right, I know, but I often pronounce it the same way myself, so you need not care. They always laugh at me, too, but I don't care one bit."

Now, do you know I have always thought the very angels must have smiled gently and indulgently at that little white fib?— Ella Higginson in West Shore.

Stylo VcmuB Fashion.

People glibly discuss stylo and fashion as though they were one and the same thing but they are about as closely related as the sun and moon, being totally different in effect. To bo stylish is given but to few, while any one may bo fashionable who has the money to dress in fashionable materials made in a fashionable manner. To state the difference is a difficult task, as it, is easier seen than written. A material, design in making a gown, hat, etc., is fashionable when made in the reigning fashion and after the nihv« governing the fashion of tho moment.

A fashionable woman is undoubtedly one devoted to fashion in dress, actions and mode of living. A stylish woman may wear calico, but her manner of wearing it. the style in which she carries herself and tho whole tenor of her being are stamped witli that air of refinement, chic and inde scribablu something which we call "style," and that elusive something is the charm that at once portions her off from her less fortunate companions.

To describe tho difference concisely we would call that fashionable which is in popular or universal use, while a stylish dress or woman is of an exclusive, individual and choice fashion, not sufficiently universal to bo fashionable, though of the highest form of fashion. A woman may ho made fashionable, but must be born stylish. A material may bo exceedingly stylish in effect, when worn by tho right

far

ierson, yet never become sufficiently poputo be railed fashionable, but it remains stylish, and is a "thing of beauty," though not "a joy forever," when worn by the fortunate woman possessing that much to be desired and not to be purchased something called Btylc.—Dry Goods Economist.

U'lint the Ttaby Can Do.

It can wear out a $1 pair of kid shoes ia twenty-four hours. It can keep its father busy advertising in tho newspapers for a nurse.

It can occupy both sides of tho largest sized bed manufactured simultaneously. It can cause its father to be insulted by every second class boarding house keeper In the city who "never takes children," which, in nine cases out of ten, is very fortunate fort he children.

It can make itself look like a fiend just when mamma wants to show "what a pretty baby she has."

It ean make au old bacholor in the room adjoining use lauguago that, if littered on the street, would get him into the penitentiary fort wo years.

It can go from tho farthest end of tho room to the foot of the stain* in tho hall adjoining quicker than its mother can just step into the closet and out again.

It win go to sleep "like a little angel," and just JUS mamma and papa are starting for the theatre it ean wake up and stay awako till the last act.

These are some of tho things a baby can do. But there are other things as wolL A baby can make tho commonest house the brightest spot on earth.

It can lighten the burdens of a loving mother's life by adding to them. It can flatten its dirty lit tle face against tho window pane in such a way that the tired father can see it as a picture before he rounds the corner. Yes, babies are great Institutions, particularly one's own baby —Boston i7.ette.

School »MU Home ttyglenr. I have referred to school hygiene as supplementary to homo hygiene because we have accustomed ourselves so fully to snaking schools a supplement of home life*. Let parents consider thrice cautiously before committing their dear ones to the influences of unguarded physical miasma. Too much has not been as yet spoken on thb subject of family wholesomeness and home hygiene. I trust we shall see the day when it will bo taught in our churches And in our schools* Half of the deaths that are recorded are already cscapable and ine.veusjihie, and yearly we are gaining in our possible mastery of nature.

Look Oat for the Cellar.

We will first direct our steps to the lowest apartment of our residences—the cellar. Much has been said in reference to its cleanliness, and how much respect we owe to this necessary portion of our households. Many women are in the habit of placing all kinds of rubbish in this apartment, little thinking that most of the air which they breathe in their upper chambers has first passed through the cellar, and been vitiated by all foul and decaying substances. In order to convince those who are skeptical of the truthfulness of this assertion, we need only to advise them to close all upper room doors and to boil onions in their cellars. The odor of this vegetable will be perceptible from parlor to attic, and this proves beyond question that much sickness is propagated in this manner.

Dryness and ventilation are particularly necessary, as many cases of fever and diphtheria can be traced to this neglect. Fruits and vegetables, and indeed every article of corrosive properties, are more apt to decay if left in a place where the surroundings are damp. The absolute necessity of a clean, dry cellar requires us to whitewash all walla and ceilings at least twice a year, and to place some lime and charcoal in different receptacles as often as the feeling of dampness can be experienced. These articles are recommeuded to purify the air as well as to absorb moisture.—Dr. John Sheppman in Hall's Journal of Health.

Tl»o True Heroines.

When 1 see a woman scrubbing or bending over the washtub who was created with an artist's tastes and a poet's song in her heart when I see a bright woman, in whom the drollery and sparkle of youth die bard, amid a life of drudgery and unrest when I see a woman patching trousers and darning socks, who was intended by nature to reign the crowned queen of some high vocation when I mark the pallor and tho lines of telltale care on the cheek that in girlhood outblushed June's sweetest rose, or note how the hands that once drew divinest music from obedient keys have warped and twisted in the faithful performance of homely duties, I feel like kissing the faded cheek and folding the poor hands in a reverent grasp, for, I tell you, though she may sometimes falter by the way, though fretful moods may sometimes overtake her, not queens are more royal in the inheritance of their purple robes, not cloistered saints folded away from the world's turmoil so faithful, not dying martyrs so brave—for it is not dying that tells. To die is easy enough—but livingl there's tho test. Anybody can die, but ah, tho infinite difficulty of living!—Chicago Herald.

The licst Time to Bat Bananas. If you have always eaten bananas as you eat grapes and Bears and apricots, at the conclusion of a big dinner, or as a tidbit between meals, you have not found out what a glorious fruit it is. Suppose some morning you try them in place of oatmeal porridge. Choose perfectly ripe ones, and eat them with bread and butter and coffee or chocolate. If the latter beverages are frowned upon by careful mamma milk will do almost as well. Don't eat them through the day, but reserve them for a breakfast delicacy.

It will reveal a delight which you had never suspected the banana could afford. This is the way people of taste rejoice in them in the balmy tropics where they grow, and eateu thus there is no fear of colio. Perhaps if you take two or three, instead of one, you will feel satisfied without the huge breakfast so common in North America. and then you will astonish the cook with your robust appetite at noon. This likewise is the habit among our tropical neighbors, and they never suffer from dyspepsia.—Courtenay De Kalb in Harper's Young Peopla

Beware of Fattgiif.

Fatigue should not be treated as a light matter. Women often say, "i am perfectly well, only I get tired easily." Then you are not perfectly well. You need rest, care and possibly medical treatment. Try the rest first, and set your mind free from worries and restraints. With the rest take nourishing food, not tonics of necessity, but instead of waiting for luncheon take a cup of beef tea during the forenoon between luncheon and dinner an egg lemonade or a glass of milk and a cracker.

Do not exact from yourself work which you do not feel equal to do. Make it a rule to lie down two hours each afternoon, and go to bed early. Keep this treatment up for three months, with all the out of door lifo you feel equal to, and you will realise what rest can do. The tired feeling means that you need rest. It is as sure an indication as that a clock needs winding when it runs down.—Boston Traveller.

The Men to Blame.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox laments the condition of her sisters, but she blames it on the men. She says: "Unfortunately, men want their sweethearts to be brilliant and showy, and their wives to be domestic and practical. The girl who understands how to sew, cook, and nurse a sick child, does not attract single men, and the superficial belie does not satisfy her husband after marriage. Hence the prevalence of divorce. Either men must become more sensible before marriage, more resigned afterward, or mothers must begin to teach their daughters in their cradles the necessity of combining the useful with the ornamental, the practical with the entertaining qualities."

Dress for Small Boys.

As you wish to dress your boy daintily use white nainsook and pique for his best dresses until he is S years old, and have plaid or striped giughams tor mornings and plain wear. Make them with round waists, belted wsds&a and boat plaited waists, buttoned behind, the collar turned down and edited with embroidery, the large sleeves with etifis like tho cellar, and the plain skirt gathered, hemmed, and just long enough to reach to his shoe tops. The plqac crests should hare jacket firoats with round bad, buttoned and plaited

skirt. His hat and walking coat should be more boyiBh looking than the dresses. Do not make guimpes to his dresses.—Harper's Bazar.

All from Eating Wrong Foods." Talking about drugs brings one naturally to doctors. I was listening to young Dr» Joseph Grindon the other day telling a number of interesting things about the peculiarities of people's constitutions. One lady was telling the doctor about a little relative of hers, who had become violently ill not long since, her eyes and throat swollen, and a real angry looking rash coming all over her face and body. The doctor had been summoned, and it was declared by him not to be smallpox, scarlet fever or any other dread disease, but simply a little plum pudding which caused all the trouble, and which a dose of baking soda (enough to go on a dime) effectually relieved. "Was it not odd?" remarked a lady to Dr. Grindon. "Not at all," he answered. "I have known rashes in similar cases to come from the slightest partaking of oysters, shell fish or pork."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. er.

Tho Use of lorgnettes.

The fact that the late Gen. Spinner met his death from a cancer caused by an abrasion on the nose produced by eyeglasses may stimulate somewhat the use of lorgnettes. To those who actually need them the lorgnette is a most convenient substitute for perfect vision. Every near sighted woman who finds herself daily grappling in blindness for the'elusive, slender cord of her smaller eyeglass will attest to this. A lorgnette thrust in the corsage or hanging from the wrist is quickly secured. It is also more easily adjusted and less painfully used than the other sort. Its abuse, however, in the hands of vulgar, snobbish women, who use it merely for effect, has much curtailed its legitimate use.—Her Point of View in New York Times.

The Pusher.

The pusher is a table utensil with whose use the majority of bachelors may be unfamiliar, for it is used only by small children. Even the best bred youngster is apt at first to help himself with the tools that nature provided—to push refractory bits of food upon bis spoon with his fingers. The pusher has a handle like that of a small spoon. Instead of a bowl it has across that end and at right angles with it a little shield shaped piece of silver with the ends curved slightly forward, so that the food cannot slide off at the sides. With a spoon in one hand and a pusher in the other some children can do wonderful things.—New York Sun.

A Pretty Work Box.

Some ingenious young women make pretty and convenient work boxes out of a Scotch Tam o' Shanter cap. One of soft, gray tones is lined with pale pink silkand finished on Jthe head band with the inevitable little bow, which in this casetls a rosette that seems the sine qua non to a woman's decorative scheme. The cap rests by its own weight conveniently open on a work table and forms a really capadjms and safe pocket for spools," thimbles and odds and ends, while the soft exterior offers an attractive needle cushion.—New York Time s.

Cleanliness a Luxury.

I^uagerly paid shop girls, factory girls and small salesmen of the same rank are frequently obliged to go without the requisite articles of clean clothing, because their salaries will not cover their necessities. That cleanliness is a luxury may be a novel statement to the rich, but it can never bo such to those less favored from a worldly standpoint.—Jenness Miller Magazine.

One of the beautiful things in the interior of Mrs. Kate Chase's home at Englewood is large piece of Gobelin tapestry, one of the few in America that once hung on the walls of King Louis Philippe's palace. It tells the story of Ulysses in tho guise of a woman being entertained at a feast by the queeu of some barbaric island. It was much admired by Charles Sumner.

Emma Abbott was in constant fear of pneumonia, and upon her last professional visit to Cincinnati it was noticed that the windows and doors in her room at the hotel were stuffed and blanketed in order that not a breath of air might blow upon her She also wore a heavy collar as an extra protection. And yet pneumonia claimed her at last.

Better pay $1.50 to 13 for a lace net, as it will give twice the wear of one at 85 cents to $1.25, which may be called "popularprices." As regards the lining, satin at 50 cents and surah at 59 cents are worn, but a duchesse at 75 cents or a satin surah at 90 cents outwears either of the above fabrics, and is 50 per cent, better in appearance.—Exchange.

In using benzine place apiece of linen of several folds on a table to act as a sponge in absorbing the ben sine.

Children should feel a sense of freedom, a sense of ownership in their parents'possessions, understanding that all restrictions are only for expediency they should feel that their parents' guests are their guests, and have an interest and pride in pleasing and not disturbing them.

DAY EVENING MATT.

HOW WE SUFFER.

The Man tTho-Wants-to-Know-Yon-Know .'J" and His Victims. I never read of a railroad or steamboat disaster without secretly hoping that Theman who wants-to- know-you-know is numbered in the victims. I don't say anything against a person storing his mind with knowledge, but what I object to is the way tha*- knowledge is sometimes fired off at-a man who is lame and can't make his escape.

For instance, our train going east was flagged at midn: :|i5 and held for an hour because of a wioajc on tha road. Everybody in the sleeping car awoke, and most of the people got up and dressed, although it would have been common sense to turn over and go to sleep again. One of the passengers was a large, portly man, who bad formerly driven hogs to market. By the exercise of economy, perseverance, virtue, tenderness and a dozen or so other attributes he had climbed up until he owned a slaughter house and bought the hogs which others drove. This was not only a good drive on him, but he was legally entitled to feel proud of it. He had just finished telling a crowd of passengers in a loud voice that he was figuring to buy that railroad aud change the management when The-man-who-wants-to-know-you-know suddenly interrupted him with: "Excuse me, my friend, but can I ask you a question?" "Certainly, sir," was the courteous reply. "I was talking with a chap in the depot at Buffalo, and we couldn't exactly agree about Mohammed, the Arab. He was, as you know, originally called Halabi, and was .born about the year 570. What we differed about was his birthplace as I have it, it was Mecca as he had it, it was Syria. What is your opinion?"

The man who had climbed up tho ladder of life by virtue of his own integrity turned pale, looked helplessly around, and finally sunk down a crushed and helpless victim, and he didn't even look up when an old farmer remarked to his wife: "Good 'nuff for him. If a feller hain't studied algebra and geography what's the use of his putfcin' on so much style."

Again, there was a party of us on the promenade deck of a Hudson river steamer. The prominent one of the crowd was a palefaced, weak eyed young man who had been all over Europe, and who had attended college long enough to learn everything worth knowing. He talked very glibly of the Stone Age, the Drift Period and all that, and as he came along to the Palisades he observed that: "The true igneous rocks belong either to the trappean or volcanic divisions, while the mass you see before you is composed, to a very large extent, of stratified metamorphic rocks."

I looked around to see if The-man-who-wants-to-know-you-know was present. He was. Ho sat with his chair tipped back and his feet on the rail. His suit was a very loud check, and he had the general bearing of a man who trades in horses and buys sheepskins of farmers. He listened with great interest, and when the young man had finished he squared his chair around and said: "Professor, you are right you have hit the bull's eye you know it all." "Awl" replied the young man. "I'm glad to have met you, because those things have bothered me, and because I want to ask you a question." "Aw—proceed." "You have heard of Scipio, of course." "Awl" "Killed, you know, in the year 187 B. C.?" "Aw!" "Of course you have heard of Basil, surnamed the Great? Greek, you know, and born in the year 329 in Cappadocia. Pretty good fellow, I guess, but wouldn't bet on it." "Aw! What is your question, sail?" "I was getting to it. Suppose you owned a horse?" "Awl" "No matter about the color or sex. You are awoke at night by his stamping in the stable." "Awl" "You go out aud find him very ill. Now, sir, can you tell me how to inform myself whether he is suffering with a calcareous carbonate of soluble obliquity or is attacked with a herbiverous transition of interstratified exhalations?"

The young man rose up, looked around him to take a last farewell of earth, and then plunged over tho rail into the river. The steamer was stopped and every effort made to rescue him, but he did not want to be rescued. He wanted to sit down on the bottom of the Hudson and have a good long think with himself.—M. Quad in Detroit Free Press.

It Was of No Conscqnence. "It occurs to me, Miss Twilling," said the young man, "that in the relations which will some day exist between us the thought of—ahem I—money might assume undue proportions. I should hate to think that any discussion as to my salary would give rise to any painful scenes." "Believe me, Henry," said the young girl, as she placed her hand gently on his arm, "that never under any circumstances would I allow such a little thing as that to come between us.,"—Harper's Bazar.

Blank and Blank Checks.

"Yes," said tho merchant to his bookkeeper "I always carry about me a blank check which I can fill out, yirherever I may be, when I run out of cash. You should do the same." "In my case," replied Mr. Ledger, "it would be apt to remain blankcty blank," and his cake and coffee lunch began to pain him in the chest.—American Stationer.

Mrs. Bendix—Yes, my husband is a somnambulist. Mrs. Kawler—How dreadful! "Not at all. You see, when he gets np in the night and walks the floor I put the baby into his arms^and he never knows it. —New York Sun.

'•v. The Wrong One.

There lives in north Alabama a peculiar old fellow named Jeff Fogg. The other day he was taken with severe toothache, and sent in great haste for old Doc Nailor, the only physician in the neighborhood. Nailor was principally a horse doctor, and was best known as a knocker out of blind teeth. This, of course, gave him reputation as a dentist. It was late in the evening when he arrived at Fogg's house, and without stopping to light a candle soused his tongs into old Fogg's mouth and snatched out a tooth. "By gum," said the doctor, when he had examiued the tooth by the light that came in at the window, "if I haven't pulled the wrong one I'm a jack rabbit."

Old Fogg didn't say anything, but opened his mouth for another pull. This time the right tooth came out. "Ah, we're all right now," said the doctor as he wiped his tongs.

Three days later, while the doctor was sitting on his porch, old Fogg dismounted at the gate. "Come in, Brother Fogg."

Brother Fogg came in, and, walking up, snatched out a razor and cut off one of Nail or's cars. "Merciful heavens!" exclaimed the doctor, "what have you done?" "Why," Fogg replied, "I have cut off the wrong ear," and seizing the doctor cut off the other ear, and, as he wiped the razor, remarked: "Got the right, one that, time, I reckon."—Arkansas Traveler.

A Domestic Trial.

Young Mrs. is very fond of giving little dinners, and is very anxious that every detail should b6 flawless. She was entertaining a couple of friends iu her favorite way the other night, and the chickens were brought upon the table roasted to a turn. As the host thrust his carver into a joint a-.puzzled look spread over his face, which was anxiously observed by his wife. Finally thfjre was no bearing it in silence, and Mr. turned to his better half inquiringly.

Mrs. remarked uneasily: "I canndt understand it Blank has never treated me before like this. His poultry is always to be relied upon. Mary," turning to the waitress, "did the cook order roasting chickens?" "Sure and indadeshe did!"

Mrs. turned to her guests appealiugly: "Does your butcher ever do such a thing? Mary, arc you sure she said roasters, not fowls?" "And indadcitoughtto basmv Oiam, for Oi sex it inesilf. Bridget left the kitchen, mum, and she sez to me, shosez, 'Mary, be sure to order two foim- plump roosters,' and it's two foine plump roosters I axed for." "And it's two 'foine plump roosters' he brought." said the host.

Mrs. 's chagrin could not withstand the outburst of merriment that followed this sally.—Harper's Bazar.
