Appealing to your most catiuid judg ment, parents, have 5011 educated your daughters In such a manner that they can earn a Rood, holiest living !V their own ef forts, If such a thing should becomo neres sary, for little do any of us know what Is in store for us? It Is a refilled accomp lishment for any lady to be atile to look af ter her owu clothing and see I hat it Is made correctly and In becoming style, and thorn is no education that prepares any lady for the responsibilities and duties of life equal to knowing how to construct her own clothing properly. It Is only the second consideration con cerning this life's goods. Tin; first Is pre pailne our food pronerlv and next Is our clothing, and this is of the highest import ance to all, and might mean very nineh to some of our readers. It Is an attested fact that the Cutting School Is a harbinger of good wherever established, and the price of the thorough course of Instructions giv en Is merely nominal compared with Its great value which Is clearly demonstrated by the best Judgment of some that have already been doing good work with It, and v cordially welcome any .one to our In struction Rooms to see and Investigate for themselves, Space only permits ns lo give the names of a few who take pleasure in speaking of its worth.

Thoy had sent n big oqverotl wagon to meet Mies Uritton ut tho sttttion, mid tho ilriver 11 largo wnn in n witter proof coftt and wide lint drove it utolidly along tho road without malting a re marlt. Bosldo Miss 'Britton, in all lior wmp wnisted, white lmnded lieituty, Bnt little Cousin Denise, a dnrk girl -vrftli no hoanty whatever, but n good honest ex pression. Miss Britton wns not in her best mood. She was in the habit of going to Sara toga, to Newport, to the Cntskill Moun tain house, to places where well -dressed crowds cclngregato, with trunks of new clothes. This year her father, having met with losses, had resolved to re trench. He had let the city house fur nished for a certain space of time. Ho had taken his wife to visit a cortain Cousin Briggs, and ho had eut his daughter to this pretty hotel, with her cousin Denise for company. The doctor had had a whisper from Miss Britton that had led him to declure that she must have country air, and this was the result. - "Much better," said Mr. Britton, "than the kind of thing yon'd have if I should fail. And you and your mother hayo been going it for a considerable time at a rate I can't permit any longer." Mrs. Britton hud only meekly sighed and looked heavenward. Miss Britton had almost raved. But Mr. Britton had his way. "Comfort yourself with tho thought that it might have been worse," whis pered Mrs. Britton in her daughter's ear, as they parted. "If Cousin Briggs had not been vory particular about inviting only two of us, having but one spare bedroom, she distinctly said, you might have to go there. As for Denlso, she said nothing, but in her heart she looked forward to dwelling for a space in what sho called "tho real country" with joy. At tho fashionable hotels sho acted tho part of amateur lady's maid to her handsome cousin and to her stylish aunt. Her own dress was very plain and uo ono took any notice of her. A poor relation without beauty is much neglected in those matrimonial markets of America. Naturally, Denise had not been in tho habit of enjoying herself. Now as tltey drove along through tho soft falling rain she peeped between the folds of the curtain and uttered gay little ejaculations. "Such lovely treesl Such ft nice old farmhouse! A little river with such a protty bridge!" But Cecilia Britton never troubled herself to reply. Her wrongs were heavy upon her. I behove if I huu gone to Newport this summer Mr. Collingsby would have offered himself," sho said at last. "Papa has made a great mistake 111 sending me to livo in this horrible wilderness. What is the use of being handsome and fasci nating if ono must be buried alive?" "Oh.it is lovely here! Denise cned, with those little gesticulations sho had learned in childhood from the French mother whose name she bore. "It is lovely!" I don t think jtu Ot'ou heard me speak of Charles Collingsby," said Ce cilia, gravely. "I told you I felt sure that if wo had met at Newport ho would have offered." "Is it such a pleasure to refuse men?" satu JJemso, wttn a little shrug. ' ' i es, replied Cecilia, scornfully. "Of course you know nothing about it, but it is a very great triumph. However, I should not have refused Charles Collings by, being iu full possession of my senses." "Oh! but you would never havp. mar ried him?" gasped Denise. "A man .of that character, who drinks so much, who is talked of with married ladies, who is a bruto in his manners. Yes, ft bruto, Ce cilia. Do you remember how he btepped on other people's toes aud elbowed them, to gut near that opera singer with the disgracefully low dross? Jow he said once aloud in the cars, 'When. I giyo my seat to any one it's a protty girl, not nu old married woman?'. Oh, he is horrible, I think. I should not mind your saying 'no' to mm, but you u never "Oh, I d never, mocked Cecilia. "You aro angry boauM ho said you were as ugly as a frog one day." 1 confess it, said Denise. "-The idea of a man letting a girl hear Mm say that! And lie wanted roe to hear. "Youseovou nlaved third twrtv too much, stud (Jenllu, laughing. 'You made me," wtid Denise. "I al ways wanted to go away when he came near ua, but you said" Yes." said Cecilia. "At that Ume 1 una my eye on tnat uatuiaouie ttngiun man, aud I was anxious to be awfully proper. But the l'.nglimimim aid not wiit an American wife, and Charles Colliugiiby lias three millions of moneg, aud tltey are ut tue top or tno ladders- his family anil 1 could do au l pleased, He's not straltUtced, and he told Mm Fox that I WW 'stunning,' Oh, I should have played my cards well this summer!

Shortly tlm hxte) was reached. Denise arose and jumped lightly to the porch. and as they stood waiting for their satchels aud a parcel Denise carried they saw a figure rise from the back of thA wagon, shake itself free of fragments of straw, make an agile spring forward and vanish 111 the interior of the hotel.

"Of what account is a country boor?1 said Cecilia. "Besides, he must hove lxen nslHp." It va some consolation to CVcilt to find that tlmre were a number of men at the little hotel, and thait wuutt uf them were young. When the tUhiug and shooting, wliich brought them to the place, did not take them out of reach she tllrttMl with them to hei heart'o delight. :i&!rd4ee.ttLJii yfrsfi said tu Qfifiige. "ffc-boiiies, or ootirtw;" bnt all the annus they were better than nothing. When ono young fellow went homo suddenly, palo and forlorn, Denise guessed what had happened. "He has offered and you have refused him," sho said. Cecilia nodded merrily. "It was such fun," sho said. "Ho went down on his little knees. He is only 0110-and-twenty, and is in a dry goods shop. Of courso I rofused Him." "But yon led him on," said Denise, at wliich Cecilia laughed more than ever. It was after this youth's departure that one of the young sportsmen who had at first paid vory littlo attention to the la dies began to devote hlinnelf to them. Ho was a very handsome young fellow, With a ready sniilo and a bright twinklo In his eye, intelligent nnd evidently well educated. Even Cecilia could not deny that this nobody was pleasant. Once grown better acquainted, ho provod ft groat acquisition, lie wos never weary of showing them tho beauties of the place, wliich were many. Ho rowed thom 011 the rivor, he drove them out, and to the great astonishment of little Denlso ho never neglected her. SheAvaa so used to being overlooked that she had expected it. No wonder she thought him the most delightful person possible, and that sho pleaded his cause with Cecilia. "I know yon mean to refuse him," she said. "But, oh, Cecilia! yon could be ho happy with him. Think it over, dear." "Think over marrying a young man liko thatl" said Cecilia. "He is very nice, but uo doubt ho would expect hl$ wife to live in a cottage in the suburbs and be content with one best black silk. I aim higher, Denise." "I do not think so if Charles Colliugs by is your object," said littlo Denise; but again Cecilia only laughed. Secretly sho liked Richard extremely; but sho had questioned him ft littlo, aud his answers had convinced her that he was poor. It was enough. . All sho could look forward to was to add her refusal of him to her other triumphs. But suddenly a change came. She was sitting upon tho porch one evening when two of tho men at tho house paused in the garden path speaking of Richard Rodney. "Ho is a nice fellow," said one. "And a very happy fellow, too," said the other. "One of the richest young men in New York. Rich Rodney thoy called his father, and ho inherited every- imug, Rich! An eligiblo match! Could it really be? Was it possible? Oh, how delightful! for surely he was ut her feet. and now sho would not refuse him when he offered himself; she would say yes. After all he was handsomer, better, and in every way moro pleasing than Charles Collingsby, Sho did not feel sure but that she wis a llttlo in love with liim, Sho ran into the house to look for Denise to tell her tho wonderful news, bnt the girl was not to bo found. For once in her life Denise had had an invitation of her own. Richard Rodney had asked her to row with him upon the river, and at that very moment thoy were slowly drifting along in the soft moonlight, and Richard held both the girl's tiny brown hands. "Say j'es, dearest," howasjvhispering. 'I love you better than life. I cannot bo happy without yon." "it is go strange," said Denise. "I thought It was Cecilia with you, as with all the rest." "You mean that you thought thatl loved Miss Britton?" asked Richard. "Every one else seemed to," said Den ise. "All," said Richard, "that is possible. hut I loved you at first sight, and as I happened to overhear a certain conver sation between you and Miss Britton on the day of your arrival I am well armed against her fascinations. And thon how shamefully she used little Smitli." "Ah!" cried Denise. "You were the person in. the back of the wagon that day?" "Yes, I was tho person," replied Rich ard, "But you have not answered me will yon he my wife?" Denise said nothing, but she let hint kiss her, and ho was quite content. "Only think, Denise, said Cecilia, as tho girl came into their littlo room later on "only think, I have hoard the most wonderful news to-uight. Richard Rod ney is tremendously noli. That, you know, alters the aspect of things, shall accept him when ho offers." "Ah!" cried Deniso, "but he will not offer." "If I should try to make him he will," said Cecilia. l tlmiK not, said Denlso, "1 am a plain little thing, but now that wo are engaged l$ will be true til me. "Engaged! ' gasped Cecilia. "Not to you?" Denise nodded aud held under the light a littlo hand on wliich an unwonted dia mond sparkled. "He slipped it on to-night, she said. "You knew how rich ho vaa," cried Cecilia, "and never told mel" But Denize had not known. She is Mrs. Richard Rodney' now, and, being rich, people call her piquant and charm ing. As for Cecilia, site has not mode her couipiest of a fortune yet, and relies upon her cousin Denise for her social pleasures since papa's failure. Mary Kyle Dallas iu Fireside Companion, Too Hud.

A lllrnl to the lCMliiicter. Tho pedometer's lifo of usefulness seems to bo very seriously threatened by a French Invention for recording speed and distanco traveled by man, beast or vehicle. The inventor, E. J. Marcy, of tho Institute of Franco, has devised a very simplo maohino to which the name odographhas been given. It draws or traces 11 curve oil a travollng band of pa per, which is a register of tho speed with which a person walks or a vehicle moves, The recording mechanism is not at all complicated and is not likely to get out of order. It consists of a cylinder cover ed with ruled paper and revolved by clockwork. On this a stylus actuated bv wheel which traverses tho ground marks the trace, and the stylus moves at a rate proportionnl to the wheel, while thr paper moves past it nt right angles wttn a velocity proportional to tho time. Tho slopo of tho trace is ft record of the speed. Tho odograph is capable of being adapted to special purposes, such as measuring tlie spcod or soldiers on the march, tho rato that railroad trains travel, or tho tlmo nmdo by racehorses on tho track, and it is thought that In tho moro general uso which promises to bomado of this instrument it will bo found to meet accurately numerous pur poses for which Bomo such recorder bos been needed.

Tito Kinds of Men. Tho Arabs havo no llttlo knowledge of tho precepts of Christianity, and much rospeot for them, but they occasionally add to thom observations of their own. 'It was a noblo command of the Man of Nazareth," saj-s one of their moralists, "that men should love their enemies, and do good to thoso who hate them. "If all men wore able to follow this precept, soon thoro would bo no enemies for us to. lavo, nor despisers of ourselves to whom wo could do good. "In this weak world we may, perhaps, succeed in doing no more than this: so to control our thoughts that we shall love our friends moro than we hato our env mies. "For there be In the world now two kinds of men, to wit: those who love their- friends more than they hate, theit enemies, and those who hate their ene mies more than thoy love their friends. "Of the first of these there is hope, and we may livo with them: but the second we should fly, as. the Bedouin flies the red curtain ot the sky behind which the si moom advances Youth's Companion.

On an occasional atternoon she makes a shopping excursion or scorns off a list of calls. She moves generally uiuong the same set of people.

Day after day ho fiat waijting for client, but nono came. Tho first tonn of court appeared and his namo had not appeared on tho docket. At that tlmo my father was clork of tho circuit court. Ono day thoro came to him n poor, sad woman, who poured into his ear n pitiful talo of woo. A brother-in-law had robbed her of all tho property loft her by her dead husband, had oppressed anil abused her, and was now socking to tako from her caro her only child, a little girl II years old. My father became deeply interested in tho womuli and promised to help her. Ho nt onco sent for Pugh. The young lawyer camo and took chargo of hcraso. Tho poor woman's brother-lli-law wns rich, nnd he employed tho best of coun sel, rand made every preparation in his power to defeat her in court and subject her to still greater oppression. He oven circulated tho most slanderous stories against her, and succeeded in totally de stroying her good reputation. This story kindled tho soul of Pugh, nnd he went to work with a fierce deter mination to unmask the villain. Tho day for tho trial arrived. Tho neighbor hood was thoroughly aroused, and tho old court room was crowded with specta tors. I ho isad and dreamy young lawyer became another man a bold and daunt less knight fighting for outraged woman hood. He arose to sitoak. Tho silence was painful. With a master hand ho iiid before court and jury tho work of tho poor woman's oppressor. The por- jured witnesses withered beneath his fiery denunciation. Judge, jurors and spectators bent forward to listen. As 110 told of the woman s wrongs tears filled the eyes of all. Then he turned from the weeping woman to tho author of her sorrows. In terrible lougnago ho expressed the villainy of tho man. Sud denly ho faced tho victim of his scorn, and pointing his quivering finger at him exclaimed: "You have stolon from this poor woman nil her property.- Not only this; you havo robbed her not only of her last dollar, bnt of what is moro precious than gold her good name. And now. with savage hands, you try to tear from her arms her darling child. In the aw ful hereafter you should not even bo al lowed tho miserable comfort o"f herding with the common dnmned, but in some lower, deeper hell bo compelled, singly and nlone, to howl out an eternity of woe." As Pugh reached this climax it fell like n bolt of thunder on the ears of the guilty man, nnd ho rushed headlong from the court room. Pughs reputation was made. He was flooded with clients and was nt once one of the busiest lawyers in town. Illinois State Journal. She Soared Too High. A young fellow was inquiring of Offi cer Button at tho Third street depot about the train for the north, when tho officer queried in return: "Didn't you como in this morning?"' "Yes." "With a young woman," "Yes." "I thought so. I took you for ft bridal couple." "Yes, so wo were. "And yon are going back alone?" "That's what's tho matter. We were married day beforo yesterday and cume here on a tour. She was all right when we got here, but in about an hour we had a fuss. She wanted a diamond ring, and I couldn't buy It.

Detroit Free Prow. The Pastor's Vlctorj-, Many years ago, when drinking habitt were more prevalent than now; n Con gregational minister In York count preached a very strong temperance ser mon that made n sensation in the parish. Somo of the leading members of tho con gregation felt insulted. They got up and left the house during tho sermon, and then sent n letter demanding an apology or the preacher's resignation. The next Sunday the pastor announced from the pulpit that he would complj with the gentlemen's request in the even ing. Of course, everybody who could gc to the church that evening was there, tho disaffected ones with pmiles on their faces at the thought of how thoy had triumphed over the minister. Tho wor thy man ascended the pulpit, went through the preliminary exercises, and then announced his. text! "And being convicted by their own consciences they went out one uy one. ' U no sermon preached from that text was a stunner, but nothing more was said about an apology, and the minister did not resign. Mt. Desert (Me.) Herald. A Hybrid Coin. I have in my possession o coin which is a "freak," It is a United States hall dollar (silver), having an eagle on each side. Of course, it bears no date, but it was issued under thecoinnge act of 1792. I have another, dated 1887, which bears the same eagle. One face of this coin is like all others of its issue. Upon the re verse, however, the eagle and tho letter ing are indented and reversed, as though stamped there by another coin." My theory is thot the coin cut just previous to tlus one stuck to tne cue. "eagle side up," and left its impression upon the silver strip from which, as 1 understand, coins ore cut. 1 can ac count for tho freak in no other way. It must have been overlooked at the mint and thus got into circulation. It is of full weictht and itandard silver. Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean. Uajtser of Analogy.
