EVERYBODY READS . ADVOCATE THE NEW NATIONAL" GUTXEIfi. Tlie establishment of a Cutting School in Lelilijlitnn lias been instrumental In more full; nroiuine public sentiment upon one vital question than has oyer before been aroused, namely; " THE IMtAOTlOAI. EDUCATION KOK WOMEN." Appealing to your most candid judg ment, parents, have inn educated join daughter In such a manner that, they can earn a Rood, honest living by tlielr own ef forts, if such a Ihlng should become neces sary, for little do any of us know what is in store for nsV It Is a relined aocujnp iislmieut for any lady to bo ante to look af ter her own nothing and see that It Is made correctly and In becoming style, and there is no education t li.it prepares any lady for the responsibilities and Unties of life equal to Knowing now to construct tier own clothing propeily, It Is only the second consideration con cerning this life's goods. The lirst is pre paiingour food properly and next Is oui clothing, and ibis is of the highest import ance to all, and might mean very much to some of our leaders. It Is an attested faci that the Cutting School is a harbinger of good wherever established, and the price of the thorough course of Instruction gly 'en is merely nominal compared with lis great value which Is clearly demonstrated by Ibebest judgment of some (hat have already been doing good work with It, and we cordially welcome any one to our In junction Rooms to see and Investigate for themselves.

Frequently, this causes iuflauaintttiou and the need of an anodyne. No other expectorant or anodyne is equal to Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, It assists Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays irritation, induces repose, anil is'lhe most popular of all cough cures. - Of the many preparations before tho public for the cure of colds, coughs, orQiicbltls, and kindred diseases, there .Is none, within the range bf my experi ence, so reliable as Ayer's Cherry Pec toral. For years I was subject to colds, followed by terrible coughs. About four . years ago, when so afflicted, I was ad vised to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral anil to -lay all other remedies aside. I did so, and within a wcelt was well of my cold and cough. Since then I have always kept this preparation In "the house, nnd feel comparatively secure." Mrs. L. L. Brown, Denmark, Miss. "A few years ago I took a severe cold which affected my lungs. I had a ter rible cough, and .passed ntgbt after night without sleep. The doctors gave mo tip. I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which relieved my lungs, Induced sleep, aud afforded the rest necessary for tho recovery of my'strength. By the con tinual use of the Pectoral, a permanent cure was effected." Horace Falrbrother, Rockingham, Vt. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, e PREPAHED BT Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. BollbyallDruggliU.

I'm banished to the garret now) My busy days are o'ers Within my sheltering embraca The babies sleep no more. No more, as In the bygone hours, My drowsy beat keeps time In patient, sleepy monotone With the old nursery rhyme, "Itock-a-br. baby, on the tree ton! VVhen the wind blow the cradle 'will rock." 4 Tho last rays of the setting nun Slant through the windows sranlh They light tbe garret's dusty gloom. And on my head tbey fall. Along tbelr level bars of gold Old pictures come and go: Again I hear tbe mother's voles Singing so soft and low, "Rock-a-by, baby, on the troa topi When the wind blows the cradle will rock." Ah met where once the baby heads The downy pillows prest. Within my ampin oaken hood The spider has her nest Empty, forgotten and alone, A useless thing 1 am. The last words of the quaint old song Fall like n parting sigh, "When tho bough breaks the cradle will fall; Down will go baby and iTadla and all." -E. il. Griffith In Ilarper's Bazar THE OLD SILVER WATCH. Charles Games stepped into tlie office of his friend Bowlea, editor of Tho Glen villa Courant. "How are you, EamesV" asked the editor "1 ought to feel happy, 1 suppose," said tho young man, a little ruefully, "for I've just received notice of a legacy." "Indeed, 1 congratulate you." "Wait till you hear what it is." "Well, what is it?" "Illy Aunt Martha has just died. leav-. ing fifty thousand dollars.'' "To you? 1 congratulate you heartily." "Not she leaves it to a public institu tion. She leaves me only her silver watch, wbreh she has carried for forty years." "How is that?" "She didn't approve of my becoming an artist. She wished 1110 to be a mer chant. If I had consulted her wishes 1 should, doubtless, have been her sole heir. This small legacy is meant more as an aggravation than anything else." "But you can make your own way." "1 can earn a scanty living at present. I hope to do better by "and by. But you. know my admiration for Mary Brooks if I had been Aunt Martha's sole heir I could have gained her father's consent to our marriage. Now it is hopeless." "1 am not so sure qf that. TW3 legacy may help you." , "An old watch? You are poking." "Not if you will strictly observe irty directions." "What are they?" "Simply this: Agree for one calendar month not to mention or convey the least idea of the nature of your aunt's bequest. I will manage the rest," "I don't at all know what you mean, Bowles," said the young tirtist: "but I am in your hands." "That is all J wish. Now, remember to express surprise at nothing; but let matters take their course." "Very well." In the next issue of The Glenville Courant the young artist was surprised to read tho following paragraph: We are gratined to record a piece of good luck which bos Just befallen our esteemed fellow citl zen, tbe promising young artist, Charles Eames! By the will of an aunt, recently deceased, bo comes Into possession of a piece of property which has been in tbe family for many years. Miss Eatnes Is reported to bare left fifty thousand dollars, "Really," thought the young man, "anybody would naturally suppose from tliis paragraph that I had inherited my aunt's entire property." He put on his' hat and walked down the street. Ho met Ezekiel Brooks, presi dent of the Glenville National bank. Mr. Brooks beamed with cordiality. "My dear sir, permit me to congratu late you," he said. "You have read The Courant?" said Eames. . "Yes; and 1 am delighted to bear of your good fortune. Can I speak to you on business u moment?" "Certainly, Mr. Brooks." "You'll escuse my advice, but I know you are not a business man, while I am. My young man, do you want to make some money?" "Certainly, I should be glad to do so." "James Parker has 600 shares of the Wimbledon railway, ft stands at fifty six, a figure much below its real value. But Parker is nervous and wants to sell out. I want you to buy out his entire stock." "But, Mr. Brooks" , "I know what you would say. It may go down, but it won't. I have advices that a speedy rise is almost certain. Buy him out, and you'll make a handsome thing of it." "But how shall I find the money?" "Of course you haven't received your legacy yet. 1 know there are delays. No trouble about that. Give your note on ninety days, and I'll indorse it. You'll sell out before that time at a handsome advance." "I will place myself in your hands, Mr. Brooks, but you must manage the business." "Certainly; Bhall only want your signature when the documents are made out. By the by, come round and dine with us, or have you another engage ment?" Another- engagement! If Eames had had fifty engagements he would have broken them all for the privilege of meeting Mary Brooks. This was the first time he had been invited to the cap italist's table. The fact is, until this morning Mr. Brooks had scarcely vouch safed him more than a cool nod on meet nig; but had changed, or appeared to, tnd his bohavior altered with it. Such is the way of the worldl It was a very pleasant dinner. The young artist remained afterwards. 'I have an engagement, Mr, Eames," laid Mr. Brooks; "a, meeting of tho bank Jireutors; but you mustn't go away, .vlnrywtll entertain, you." The young man did not go away, and ipiwrmitly was satisfied by the enter--u;iuient hj received. He blowed his mut tor Imr legncy, if only it had pro juro.l him thia afternoon's interview with the young lady he had admired. But it gained him more. Every four days he reoeived a similar invitation. He could not fail to Bee that Ezekiel Brooks looked with evident cotnplaoeucy on the good understanding between his daughter and himself. . "What will he say?" thought the young man, "when he finds out what sort of a legacy I have received from my auntr' Occasionally , too, he felt nervous about his hasty assent to the proposition to buy five hundred shares of railroad stock at fifty-six, when he hadn't fifty dollars ahead. He reckoned up one day what hiautarchase would ampUMt to, ajnd his Live and Let Live." breath Was, nearly taken away when no found it amounted to twenty-eight thou sand dollars! Still, it had boon in n manner forced upon him. He asked no questions, but every now and then the ota gentleman said: "All going well! Stodk adv.ifmlno- turilillv " With that ho was content. Indeed, ho was so carried away bylovo of Mary Brooks that ho guvo little thoueht to any oinor sttoject. Ono'day Mr. Brooks onme up. his face oeamtng witn joy. "Wish, you 3ov. Enme." lm Raid. "Wimbledon's gono up .like a rocket to par.C Give ine authority and I'll sell out ror yon." 'Tlie artist did so, hardly realizing what it meaut till, tnreo days after, he ro- cetyeu a little note to this effect: Dsin liuiis-dlavB sold out your tiro hundred shares of Wimbledon nt 101. Bo vou bouirlit at 1,8. Tils gives you acinar profit of $45 per share, or v&fiui. ou nail belter take the ride and rein vest your surplus. Call at my office at once. Yours ,very truly, Ezkkiei. Brooks. Charles Eames read this letter three times btifore he could realize its mean ing. Could it be that without investing a cent no nan mado over $20,000? It must.be a droam, ho thousht. . Ejufwhen ho called nt tho oldjjontlo tnarf office ho found it was really trno. "Mr. Eames, how about this money? onau i reinvest it lor you?" "Thank you, sir. I wish you would. 1 snouta like a Iittlo in hand, however." "Certainly. Will that answer?" nnd the Old gentleman wrote a check for foOO and placed it in the young man's nana. It was more money than ho had ever before possessed at one time. This was convincing proof of the reality of his good fortune. The next day ho wont to the citv and ordered a handsomo suit of clothos at a fashionable tailor's. Tlie Ct.ct was his old!coat was getting threadbare and his jBVwcoat decidedly seedy. Whilo he was about it ho bought a new coat and boots, as well as other needed articlos, nnd still returned with money enough in his pocket to make him feol rich. He changed his boarding houso, engaging a nanusonie room nt a much nicer place. "It seems to me you are dashing out, Eames," sjiid his friend tho editor. "You know I've had a legacy," said Eames, laughing. "I begin to think you have," said the editor. When Eames iippcarod on tho street in his new suit ifwas :t confirmation of the news of his inheritance. His removal to a fashionable boarding house was addi tional confirmation. It was wonderful how ho rose in the estimation of people wno naa uetoro tooicea upon mm as a shiftless artist. All at onco it occurred to him, "Whv shouldn't I propose for Mary Brooks? With twenty thousand dollars I could certainly support her comfortably. There was a very pretty cottage, and tasteful grounds, for sale at five thou sand dollars. This would make a charm ing home." One morning, with considerable trepi dation, young Eames broached tho sub ject to Mr. Brooks. 'No one I should liko bettor for a Bon-in-lawj if Miry is willing," was the prompt answer. Mary was willing, and as there seemed no good reason for waiting, the marriage took place within a few weeks. "Charles," said" his father-in-law, after the young people returned from their wedding journey, "it is time for mo to render you an account of your money af fairs. I have been lucky in my invest ments, and I have $U1,000 to your credit, or, deducting the amount paid for your house, $20,000. By tho way, have you received your aunt's bequest?' "I received it yesterday," said Charles. "Indeed!" "Here it is," said tho young man, nnd ho produced a "battered silver watch. "Do you mean to say that is all she left you?" asked his father-in-law, stupe fied. "Yes, sir." Ezekiel Brooks whistled in shoer amazement; and his countenance fell. For a moment he regretted his daugh ter's marriago, but then came tho thought that his son-in-law, through a lucky mis takes, was really the possessor of quite a comfortable property, which, under his management, might be increased. So he submitted with ivgood grace, aud is on tlte best of terms with his daughter's hiihbaud, who is now in Italy with his wife, pursuing u course of artistic study. He treasures carefully the old watch, which ho regards as tho foundation of his prosperity. Yankee Blade. t A HItlllnniilrea Knrly Sweetheart. Ail interesting story is told of Mr. Ar mour's early lifo. He recently met in a business way, quito by accident, an old friend of his youtiu Af tor tho greeting, which was the first for twenty years, he exclaimed at once to tho gentleman: "1 say, what has become of the girl who used to visit our shop? You remember her that charming blonde", Miss Blank?'' The old friend smiled lis he replied: "Oh, she's married and got a big family." 'Whom did she marry?" demanded Ar mour. "She married a teamster named Bill Brown you must remember him." "What has become of him?" "Oh. he is teaming yet," was the reply. The gentleman who relates this inci dent afterward observed to a friend: "What a little event may change the whole course of n girl's life!

I was alone in tho office, mid I didn't like tho color of the visitor's eye. However, I answered ins question in the affirmative. " 'Let me see tho skeleton?' snid my queer visitor. "It would boarcely do to refuse. 1 walked to the rear of the office, where there was n small table out of sight of my visitor. I drew out from the desk a revolver, tho suniu one that had ended tho career of tlie youthful bandit years net ore. .Holding it in my band, I stepped to the closet, threw open the door and remarked with as much coolness as 1 could command by force of will: 'There ts the skeleton! " 'Put up yourro vol ver,' remarked the stranger. 'I won't hurt you. If I had wanted to shoot you I would have killed you when I came into the ofllce. I huve just been down in Oklahoma and am on my way back to Tennessee. I heard the story of your killing one of tho enncr. and as near as I can make out it was my hoy that was killed. He ran away from homo when only 18 years old, and I never saw Inm after that. I don't hold any grudge against you. Yon did what was right, I suppose. But I thought I would tako this chance to see what is loft of the poor boy.' "I then showed tho stranger the skele ton, which was handsomely mounted. and described the raid as briefly and as gently as possible; The old pioneer's only remark, as ho gazed upon all that was lett of his boy, was: 'Well, ho was a big fellow, wasn't ho?'

Kansas City Times. Kllqnette of the Street. When twogentlemen aro walking with one lady tho one takes the out and the other the inside, thus keeping her be tween them. When ono gentleman is walking with two ladies, ho places him self between them. When it gentleman desires to speak to ft lady who is iiasning, he may if he ben mend and alone accost her, but hp must not detain her. in stead, let him walk with her in tho direc tion whither she is going, and when he has done, leave her with a bow and a smile, raising his hat as he retreats. It is no longer thought needful for a gen tleman to keep himsulf perpetually on the outer side by changing sides nt evory corner. Such n habit savors of stiffness and is too marked a concession to form. Gentlemen may take the inside when it would heem awkward to do otherwise, but tho outside is preferred for them.

If you study the market and learn what kind of butter is wanted now, you will find there has been a change. There is not much demand for butter that will keep, but for butter that U high flavored and also milk flavored a butter that has no tattte of buttermilk. They demand a butter that has very nearly the same taste as cream. The whole tendency is toward getting butter more nearly like cream, getting butter that is very nearly the same a fresh cream. We have al most reached the point where public Uute demand butter made from sweet cream. - - 1'rufeiMur CuuLe before r- inunt Dtut i men's Andouisiiou. $1.28 when not paid in Advance.

At Decatur, Ills., publio interest is centered on "The Boby." This nrettv little city has electric street railways. sir newspapers, a dozen fine churches, a metropolitan air, clean streets, good wit ter and the Servant girl question. But all these "ain't nothin'," us a small boy remarked m my presence when theso atl vantages wero being enumerated. "We've got something Chicago uni t got. It's a Bellamy boarding houso." This is the history of the experiment: Miss Fanny Fuller nnd hor motlier boarded at Tho Hoby with Mrs. Guyton, It was tho swell boarding house of Deca tur The .Misses Withorspoon, two Handsome young ladies, also boarded there. Mrs. Guyton no ver had trouble with hor servant girls. Why? Because the work was systematized. Oue did tho cooking and laundry work. another tho second work. Ono had tho table to wait on and the dining room to care for. When their work was dono the girls went where they pleased. This set Miss Fanny Fuller to think ing. Ono day sho read "Looking Back ward," and proceeded to look forward. Where others read nnd marveled and criticised, sho read and ndapted. One morning she came into Mrs. Guyton's room witn an Idea. Slie rend the chap ter from Bellamy's book on tho imhlie dining room. "Why can't we do it?" sho asked. 'Wo can," said Mrs. Gtivton decidedly. Miss Fuller nut on her smart iacket and hat and called on tho ladies ol' her acquaintance, with her idea. Everybody was charmed. The gentlemen forirot impatience aud listened. A fov weeks later a liieetine was held in Mrs. wuyton's parlors. After a nuin ber of whereases it was resolved to es tablish: 1. A co-operative association for the lieneflt nf all Its members. 2. No debts shall bo contracted 8. A president, secretary and treasurer Rlmll bn elected from among; the members . A superintendent shall be appointed to act as the purchasing aeut of the club, vouchers to be delivered to tho treasurer. - 6. Members xhall pay $3.75 a woek lioard to tho treasurer; children under 10 half M ica 6. The superintendent Is to have entire charge of the dining room, kitchen and servants, under ine nircction or a boaru or manaeers. It was agreed by all present to sicn tho constitution, these being tho charter members. Applicants for membership should havo their names posted in tho dining room three days before admis sion, and no ono was to bo received if a serious objection wero raised by any ono member. Mrs. - Guyton's basement .was rented. including a large dining room, kitchen and pantries, a managor installed, two cooks and three waiter girls hired, and the co-operative club, aftor navina a membership fee of $3 and onn week's board in advance, sat down to their first meal at Tlie Roby. Mrs. Guyton gave up keeping boarders, and sho and all her guests fell into tho now order of thincrs. There is no doubt about Mrs. Guyton's ontnusiasm. bno mot mo and began an other book of her epic. "Wo have hfty-four momliers men. women and children all of the nnner crust aristocracy who are used to living wen, ana tney wouldn't put un with anything but tho best.
