good to see.
The new store of A. C. Yates &
Co., opened so recently at the corner
of Thirteenth and Chestnut streets,
Philadelphia, is one of which the firm
may well be proud. Rising lull four
stones upward, with a frontage of 70
feet upon Chestnut street and ex
tending a solidly built up depth of 107
feet along the west side of Thirteenth
street to Drury street, it makes an im
posingly handsome structure.
A. C. Yates & Co. has been one of
the most successful firms in the re
tail sale of men's youths', boys' and
children's clothing, and have made the
present consolidation of their stores
to accommodate the greater number
of their customers. The well known
Ledger building location, which, for
the past fifteen years has been so
popular, has been permanently aband
oned and the entire business trans
ferred to the remodeled building at
the corner of Thirteenth and Chest
nut strces, a portion of which has
been occupied for some time past by
branch store with most encouraging
results.
The entire comer of the new build
ing on the first floor is one vast show
window, in which is displayed attract
ively men's and youth's clothing.
This window is at present decorated
most beautifully by a grouping of
nearly two hundred Easter lilies, with
a background of thriving young palms,
setting off to advantage the already
tasteful arrangement.
On the Chestnut street front, west
of the corner window, is the main
entrance. West of that is another
double show window, containing a
decoration of white azaleas, flanked
also by young palms. This contains
first, a display of boys' and children's
clothing kilts, knickerbockers, and
full length suits second, an array of
all that is latest in the lines comprised
in gent's furnishing goods. Along the
entire front of these beautiful plate
glass windows, runs a heavy brass
guard rail to reduce the danger of
breakage, while against a projecting
wall facing the most westerly show
window, is a large and costly mirror,
also protected by a guard rail.
The first and second floors of the
building are devoted exclusively to
men's and youths' clothing, with the
exception of a liberal space at the
westeen sule ot the first floor, which,
is given up to gents' furnishing goods.
These-departments represent a com
plete stock of everything in their respect
ive lines, the newest patterns and most
stylish and serviceable qualities com
bining with remarkable low prices.
The third floor is devoted entirely
to boys' and children's clothing, being
.conveniently connected with the floors
beneath it by a luxurious ele ator, mak
ing it easy to reach, and giving the
little ones the pleasures of a ride. .
The fourth floor is occupied by the
manufacturing department, the firm
having all their clothing manufactured
in Philadelphia. ? This floor is con
nected with those below it by means
of an elevator located in the rear of
the store, and used largly for freight
purposes, as well as the regular broad
and easy staircases. ' '; ,
The external decorations of the
building of a temporary character con
sist of flags of ' all nations displayed,
one from each of the fifty-four large
windows of the second, third and
fourth floors, twenty-seven of which
are on the Thirteenth street side, and
an equal number on the Chestnut
street front. These numerous win
dows give an excellent lighting to each
of their various floors. A permanent
and attractive exteroal feature is also
the large flagstaff surrounding the
Thirteenth and Chestnut streets cor
ner, carrying a handsome pure white
streamer with the legend A. C. Yates
& Co, on it in red lettering.
The basement contains added util
ities. In its confines are' placed an
eighty horse power boiler, which opor
ates an engine which in turn furnishes
power to the two elevators and an
electric lighting apparatus solely for
the use of this building. Steam heat
is also supplied throughout the sturct
ure when needed.
This great improvement places the
firm in a most advantageous position,
both in regard to convenience to them
selves in the added space given them
and in convenience to their customers
the new stores being within three
squares of the main station of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the same
distance from the projected terminus
of the Philadelphia and Reading.

A Tarlor Aquarian).
There are fjw thing of more Interest
tlmii nn nqimriuni, and few things inure
easily kept If one takes a delight in
audi things, the little attention they re
quire will not he n diangrueiiblo task, but
a real pleasure.
To the young students of nature the
growth of water plw U and the action
of fishes me both objects of deep inter
est, and should they become rx ssfss us
of these gh ss innrvels they will learn
moro rapidly from tlio nnturnl object
than from the description given in
books.
If rightly innnnged, the aquarium is
not only a teacher but a parlor ornament
ns well. Largo ones made of heavy
plate glass Bet in Oernian silver are ex
pensive, but small ones may be ninito or
obtained nl a trilling cost. If a globe
be tiB 'd hjo that tlm mouth of itbequito
large; if a tank, it might be miulu at
home. Tlm sides are, of coins), f
gliias, the bottom ot metal, fitted iuto a
frame work so that it Is water tight.
The wiry water grasHen, reed, and
plants that grow in pools will thrive
nicely in an aquarium, and "ill absorb
the poisonous ga e so fatal to fish if tlio
water stands unchanged for too long a
period. Dig the roots from their muddy
beds and plant in the bottom of your
globe or tank. Fill with wnter and al
low them to get a good start before fish
are ndded. Ihe first fish one would
naturally select are the beautiful and
eauly kept goldfish. These are found
with brilliant and peculiar markings,
and are like little living water blossoms
as they dart about among the green
reeds and grosses.
The cattish when in its early Infancy
and when it measures from one-half of
au inch to two inches long, is a sturdy
little fish to keep, aud stands quite a
good deal of handling and air. Those
are velvety black and make a pretty
contrast to the goldfish.
. The little minimus from the streams
are desirable and flash like restless rain
bows through the greenery of their
water prison. liuby perch, too, are au
acquisition, and a small eel, so. no tad
poles, and a frog or two. Theso will
furnish much amusement and create a
new interest in natural history. If a
newt oan bs obtained it will prove a
valuable adjunct, as at different seasons
of the year it changes its color, assum
ing, at times, most brilliant hues.
To keep the soil in phtcu at the bottom
of the aquarium, place a layer of sand
over it aud upon this a layer of shells,
some pretty pebbles, etc. Change the
water about every other day, if quite
small, every day. This can be dona by
placing the jar in the sink under the
faucet, covering the top or opening with
musquito netting or something of that
sort, and allowing the water to run
gently into the jar. This overflows the
aquarium, and in a very short while the
water will be entirely renewed.
It Li best to have a stand or small
table placed expressly for the aquarium
near a sunny window, A metal tray
upoii this table will save it from getting
damp or discolored and the table may
have a felt lambrequin embroidered iu
suitable design say a fish net and fish,
or coral, a fishing smack, water lilies,
etc.
Snails are interesting, but unless a
wire netting be stretched across the
opening of the jar or tank, they w ill
persist in climbing up and out So, also,
the frogs (which should have a biggish
rock upon which they can climb) w ill
cause trouble by jumping out upon the
floor if netting is not used, A good plan
is to make a cover for your jar of the
wire netting, as this can be used instead
of the mosquito netting when refilling
the jar. I Bhould prefer a large jar to a
tank, as it Is prettier ana more easny
managed,
I once had a large arruarium of heavi
est plate gloss, set in German silver, and
this I kept upon a wide sill in my sun
niest western window. For a while I
was content to watch the graceful gyra
tions of a whole school of tiny catfish,
caught in a dip net, and watched them
grow to the dignity of a two inch stature.
I then had some baby turtles prosented
me, and added them to my crystal box.
AU w ent well for some time until un
lucky day I I caught a snapping turtle
in the yard! It was laboring across
country toward the winding Miami
River uear by, and I captured it there
and thea I got it into the aquarium in
splendid shape and saw it dart down
and lie perdu under some rough, odd
looking rocks I bad placed in the center
of the tank. I waited to see it reapper,
but waited in vain. My snapper was
surly and refused to grant me an inter
view, and I went to bed that night to
dream of broad backed, shiny monsters
of the deep.
Next morning I called upon my new
gin st ngnin and found what do you
stpMH I found? I can laugh now
with you nil, but not that d iy that
sorrowful dayt The top of tho wntor
in tho nquarlum was nlmrst com
pletely covered with floating heads n d
bitten carcass as of my dear liltln elxi iy
callls'iesl Ttn vindictive snapping ini
tio had paid s'rict attention to h B it tvt
and had inn s cred my entire soiio.il of

Afior one h lired of Keeping an
aquarium the lank makes a good fern
cry. I planted fern of several kinds,
lycapoditim and some inns ton, and found
that they thrived and grew rapidly
therein. A fernery is as pretty an
ornament for a parlor window as a
"fishery," and not ns much trouble.
Hut try keeping an aquarium first and
le benefitted by the lessons in natural
history that it can not fail to teach.
Correspondence Detroit Free Preiw,
A Modern Queen.
Four little girls who live in a suburb
of Uoston were playing together one
afternoon, and at last one of them sug
gested, "Let's play we're queens, and
have a court. "
"I'll be Queen-Elizabeth," said one,
"and have a big ruff round my neck. "
"I'll bo Mario Antoinette, before it
was time for her to be killed," said an
other. "And I'll Iw Mary Queen of Scot, be
c.ittse slm was so pretty," said the third.
"Who will you be, Elsie?" aked
Queen Elizabeth of her five year old
sister. "I shall have to tell her the
name of some queen, of course, " sho
remnrked confidentially to Mary Queen
of Scots.
"Nobody '11 have to tell nie, "said Elsie
with dignity, "I shall be a Queen Anne

Woman's Happiest ITonr.
I have had it suggestod to me by a
friend Unit tho happiest moment in a
woman's life is when, having brought
the man of her heart to the point of
proposing, she makes him wait a min
ute or two for her answer, say "Tho
Duchess" in the Ladies' Home Journal.
To know and feel his anxiety to under
stand that the anxiety is alt caused
through love of her this would con
stitute a bliss not to be rivaled, a bliss
tho sweeter for being so shortlived, and
because of the fact that it can never oo
cur again. Hut this strikes mo as be
ing a little feline in its nature, just a
trifle cruel.
For myself, I should think there
would be keener joy in that moment
when a woman is !e to say "Yes" to
the most important question of her life,
and to give herself freely and gladly to
the one she loves.
I think, however, the question a diffi
cult one to answer. There are so many
different natures that what would lie
extreme happiness to one woman might
be only a mild delif lit to another.
The ambitious woman must find her
best hour when she has attained the
summit of her hopes aud victory cron ns
her with its laurel wreath.
To the woman standing over the sick
bed that contains tho one being dearest
to her on earth, cau there bo an hour
more rife w ith thankful happiness than
w hen the doctor declares that there is
hope? Oh, magic word! Hope that the
adored oue will be given back to her
from the very jaws of death!
And yet, after all, I think love, "that
great master," as he has been justly
culled, has more to do with a woman's
sweetest hour than anything else on
earth. To love, and to feel one's self
beloved that is, indeed, to know the
best of life. '
An Aetrese Who la Fhyalaslljr Perfect.
When Professor Sargeunt, ot Har
vard, declared that Miss Bst, of Mead
ville, was the most perfectly propor
tioned woman in America, so far as
could be determined by the data at his
disposal, he refused to make known
the measurements. Comparison was,
therefore, unnecessary. Another model
of physical womanly perfection has
since come to the front iu the person ot
Miss Mildred Holland, who is now play
ing in the spectacle "Superba" in New
York. Artists in New York and Phila
delphia pronounce her a perfect Ameri
can Venus, and as she gives out a table
of measurements, a direct basis of com
parison is furnished.
To begin with, she is about 5 feet 3
inches, and other measurements are as
follows:
Throat, 12t inches. -
Upper arm, tense, 11 inches,
Forearm, tense, 9 inches.
Waist, 24 inches over clothing.
Hips, 86 incites over clotiiing.
Ankle, 9 inches. . .
Calf of leg, Ui inches,
Size of glove, H.
Size of shoe, 8.
Miss Holland is the best woman
fencer in America, and her splondid
muscles are a result of that exorcise,
Advloe to the Itridea Kleot.
The Ladies' Home Journal thus ad
vises the rosebuds of marriage:
"Let me venture a few points to those
girls who, since the summer, have worn
a bright ring on their third finger:
"Don't let the man to whom you are
engaged to be married pay any of the
expenses of your living or trousseau
until you are his wife. A calico dress
and contentment are much more to be
desired than a silk one garnltured with
scandal
"Don't complain to the man to whom
you are engaged of the different mem
bers of your own family; it is not a good
preface to matrimonial bliss.
"Don't write silly letters to him, even
If he is fond of affection given in that
way. Let it be by word of mouth
rather than with pen and ink. "
To Sena Flower Ituds fcy Mali.
To mail flower buds, cut a potato into
two pieces and bore holes into them,
and iusert the sterna of the buds with
cotton to support them. There is a
sufficient moisture in a good sized potato
to support a dower for two weeks in a
moderately cool temperature. Flowers
from bouquets or baskets may be pre
served iu the same way. The potatoes
can be hidden by leaves or moss,
