Yet one cannot ride down town in si car in which thero are school girls, without observing some of the most untidy speci mens of kid gloves that could be imagined. On one day, when particular notice was taken, four young Indies were counted on a car w ho wore kid gloves which were in a disgraceful state, and they took no pains to conceal them, cither. One of them stretched out both hands in front cf her, letting them rest upon tho handlo of her umbrella. Although she woro gloves, about half of each hand could be seen, where the seams hnd burst. An other wildly gesticulated during her con versation, showing off to advantage the untidy condition of her hand covering. tMraugo to sny, ti: it idy gloves Bre most often noticed on tho hands of school girls, who are supposed to have ideas of neatness instilled in their brains by their teachers. If young ladies could imngino the opinion that observers have of them when they seo their kid gloves in an untidy condition, they surely would strive to tnnko a better appearance. Jfo gloves at all would be better than rent ones. It is to be hoped that tho young ladies will take a ''stitch in time," which will cer tainly savo for them the good opinion of those whose respect they vnlue. FASI1I0X MITES. Tight coat sleeves are out of fashion. There is a fancy for menus in silver filigree supports. A great increase is noted iu the demand for fancy stones. Fancy runs riot in the sleeves of the newest teagowns. Very large, sipiaro buttons are the novelty in that line. An "ivory room" is the latest, craze in the 'diouse beautiful." Hemstitching is the rage just now in both table and bed linen. lloas of tulle w ill be worn the coming summer with evening toilets. Crepe do chine will be largely used foi afternoon watering place gowns. Moire ribbon is as much in favor upon lace gowns ns it was last summer. Black is now stylishly worn with any color from the palest to the deepest. Colors prominent in house decoration are yellow, green nnd a grayish tint. A caprice of the season is to combino surah silk with the liner cotton fabrics. Lilac and wistaria will bo favorite flowers for ornamenting summer lacu bonnets. The favorite bracelet just now is a mere thread of gold, set with a single diamond or ruby. Fine cut-glass divides honors with sil ver in decorating the tables of our mod em sires. A "crush" bonnet, which can be "sat upon" without injury, is the latest Lon don fad. A uniquo bracelet, of chased silver, is made up of tiny mice, liuked together by the tails. An odd combination of fabrics now in vogue is that of ladies' cloth with India silk. Ten breadths of ordinary dress material are required to coustruet an accordion plaited skirt. A silver hen and chickens perched up on a crystal slab is the oddest of the new paper-weights. The new turbans and toques are more effective when the hair is arranged low upon the head. The newest English cheviots have grounds of plain colors, Decked with tiny spots of white. An authority declares that "rallies, pull's, lloiinces and furbelows arc looming up in the near future." Very finely plaited lisse, silk, muslin iu;i lace about live inches w ide are used a-; collars, culls and jabots. Very attractive wall-papers have ap peared in which the gilding is restricted to line lines ami minute splashes. The Empire stylo of dress round waist, full sleeves and slightly draped skirt bus not lost its popularity. The t'oiineiuara cloak is very becoming to an Irish peasant, but it is hideous on the back of it New York dame in the streets of New York. A new invention for a boy's shirt waist is a belt with immoveable buttons, the latter being passed through button holes in thu waist lino of the garment. Tho belt is removed when tho waist it laundered. The Arctic t old. The intense cold of midwinter confined us to the huts, and tho natives would hardly allow us outside at all, but waited upon and watched over us as though wo were children, writes 8. W. liiyiiu, tho Arctic traveler. No one who has not ex perienced it can have any idea of the terrible cold of an arctic winter. If wo stepped outside the huts it felt as though we were naked. Our woolen clothes seemed to lie no protection whatever, and I think five minutes' exposure would have frozen oue of us to death. Hut in the moderate cold, when not more than twenty degrees below zero, thu natives used to sit around in tho snow and m.iko nnd repair tho whaling gear, and they seemed to be warm ami comfortable. Tho mothers used to hold tho children out in tho cold several times it day to toughen them. Whether that is the cuuso of their endurance or not I cannot say, but they inn stand a wonderful amount of cold. Prison Counterfeiters. A band of counterfeiters has just been discovered at Scbnstopol, Russia, in a prison. The prisoners were engaged dur ing the day at their convict labor, and visitors compassionately saw them bo em ployed. But at nightfall tho keepers fra ternized with the prisoners, and together they devoted certain hours to the manu facture of twenty-kopeck pieces. In order to get rid of their money to the bebt udvautage the keepers went out at night and tho following day took tho place of the prisoners, who iu tun be came keepers. SUNDAY SCIIOOL.

"And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are jo come out as iigniiist a thief, with swords and with stnvo to tnko Me!" Both Matthew nnd I.uko riss.nl the sums question, i't some father or mother say how they would feel If tho law should senil its otlleers to arrest their son as a thief, he being innocent. If over we aro shamefully treated or spoken against, let us think of Jesus and be patient for His snke, 41. "I was daily with you iu the temple teaching, and ye took Mo not; but tho serip "tirres must be fultillod." I.uko xxii., M, adds: "This Is your hour and the power of dark ness." Ktieh scriptures were being and aisiut to bo fulfilled ns Psalms xxii., and Ixix., Isaiah Uii., etc., but HU comfort as H looked no to His Kather was: "Thou hast known My reproach, and My shame, and My dishonor. Minn adversaries aro all Is-for Thee." (I's. Ixix., 1W). If people would say and do oMnly the mean nnd devilish thing! which they say and do tiehind one's bock and in the dark, it would seem ns if wo could U'tter refute and resist them; but then ws would not have the fellowship with Jesus in His sufferings which wo havo by being treated as ile was. 50.
