THE LITTLE DRESS-MAKER.
BY JIEI.CX T. ll-AKt.
Mrs, Gillespie' overskirt wonM nt
eow ridt, and Doris Iliihuin war, as
she expressed it, "so worked np" that
she could not eat her dinner. She prided
herself on her draping, bat that day her
riht LutnJ (.likewise, her left) had for
gotten iu cunning.
Don't worry, Doria." laid Mr. Gille
pie, putting another ai ice of boiled mut
ton on the dress maker's plate, " 1-ay it
by till tomorrow, and begin Sarah Jane's
school gingham."
"Well, if yon dont care," aaid Poris,
with a look of relief, "it would be a ?reat
lilt off uiy mind," and ahe ate threw
liecea of the mnt toil in her intense aatis
f rftin.
"Did yoo know that Klen iKwlittle
waa hick?" a.ked Mrs. tiillespie, after
diiitier, as she plied her basting -needle.
Doris looketl npfmm the sewing m.u hine
ro toi-k!y Uiat a kevn observer rui'ut
have a-iid she wa.1 Htartltxl, but Mrs. Gil
lespie's glaasea covered uuattspectiwg
eye.
They aay he's threatened with a fever.
No wonder. Living alone, and doing hi
own cookine and farming, when any
man in his senses .would have hired a J
housekeeper long ago, or got married,
which would have been better still. He's
worrying about tome payments that he
can't meet, and, take it altogether, I
shouldn't wonder if he waa pretty bad
off. Would yoa have this gingham waist
ahirred at the top, or laid in pleats all the
way down. Doris?"
The little dresa-maker's heart was
thumping so that she thought her com
panion must hear it. Hut the placid face
opposite waa absorbed in the "pleatings"
and "shirrings."
" It's all Bhirrings," thought poor Doris.
8 All puckered up clone and tight, and
somebody's got to cut the gathering
threads before things w ill come out at all
straight."
(The dress-maker and then Doolittle
had once lieen much more than friends,
but Cite liad undertaken to do some aliir-
ritijr, and, as usual, there was nobody
at hand lor to cut the garnering
tli reads.")
Doris answered Mrs. Gillespie to the
best of her ability, and started the ma
chine again.
When night came she rolled np her
scissors, thimble ami tape-measure, and
donued her wraps, despite the invitation
of Mrs. Gillespie to remain until nest
lay.
She wanted to be alone where she
could think, and the society of Sarah
Jane, who would have been her bed
fellow, waa not conducive to contempla
tion. On ber way home she passed a low
brown honse standing back from the
road a house dark and silent, but which
quickened her pulses by its mere out
lines. - ' "
" I wonder if the poor soul id there all
alone," thought Doris. "Any ntAerneigh-
bor could run in and see after him in a
friendly way, but that's oat of the ques
tion for ME."
When the reached home she roused
her fire out of its all-day sluggishness,
and wit down before it w ithout lighting
a lamp. ShecoulJ think better ia the
dark.
" I wonder when those payment must
lie made." she said to herself." it's the
first of March now." ' 1
Suddenly tw-foSd idea horsed in
through lorui IlUbnra brain like a
Fourth -of-July " pin-wheel, and her
plaintive little ttce grew hot and rosy in
the dim, fire-lighted room.
" If I only dirt,n she said, half breath
lessly, then, with gathering boldness,
" Why not? No one will ever find it out.
and Eben will not dream of my doing
such a thing. It will tide him over, and
then he will pick op and get well in no
time. It may be only the drop in the
bucket, or it may be the full gallon, but
I'll rtik it, whichever it is."
Ileasant dreams turned her" humble
pillows into cushions of down that night.
and draped her bare walla with the
cloth of gold which too often, alas ! must
turn to hodden gray with the first touch
of day.
Ilut I Viritt's cloth of gold kept tlteg'im-
mer of its threads through alt the next
day. At noon she spent a shorter time
than usual over her dinner, and said she
must do an errand. She harried along
the quiet village streets to the business
quarter, and w hen she met a group of
gleeful children oa their war to school,
she pressed her hand over a little bank
book in her murT, and wasted to skip and
ran as they did.
The ollicial who waited on her waa ev
idently a little sorprised at tlie nature of
ber errand.
" He needn't stare to. I hare a right
to do what I please with my own," she
thought, a trirle indignantly, yet with a
certain shame-Ctced feeling that ahe was
doing something wofully on business-like
and " unpractical-"
" I don't care. Lf I starve I will starve.
I will have my comfort out of this, any
way," she said.
Her eyes were so bright and her cheeks
onier
SOMERSET, PA.,
so rosy that Mr. Gillespie viewed her
through her sievUcka in utmost sur
prise. "I declare, Djris, if you weren't so
sensible and so settie! in yxtr way, I
slusild think yo had ben hvin an of
fer and accepting it. too. Yon look as
yHi;jg and 1iandtne as the best of
them."
D wis laughed, slipped off her hat and
sack, and collapsed into the little sewing
chair, aad in three minutes was appar
ently absorbed ia Sarah Jiue's " bias
ban. Is " and skirt ru!!les.
" Don't make it too scant, Doris," said
her companion. " Skitupiuess don't pay
when you're making up gingliaui.'
"Nor when you're giving a present,"
sai l Doris to herself, with a sudden thrill
of joy.
The short March day came to an end.
Sarah Jane's gingham was finished and
hong over the back of a chair, ready for
its owner to carry up stairs sit lietl time.
The troublesome overskirt had come
right at last, and was a triumph, of balloon-like,
billowy folds.
"You'll save a day for me in April,
Doris, to fix over my black Henrietta
cloth T' said Mrs. Gillespie, interrogative
ly. Doris nodded gaily. She was in a
moo I to promise anything.
" Here, Doris, you might just as well
take a couple of these mince turnovers
with you. They'!! keep nice till Sun
day." IKris thanked her, and stepped out
into the cold, cloudy night She passed
slowly by the old brown house which had
attracted her attention ttie evening be
fore. " I wonder if it is dark enough yet,"
she said, as she lingered in the aluulow
of an old elm that at:jodche by the side
walk. The house seemed gloomy and
silent, as on the preceding night.
" It won't get any darker if I jrait till
midnight, because the moon will be np
soon. I must do it now, or never."
Tle3 mysterious words implied no
scheme of burglary or arson, though the
dress-maker's actions verged on '' break
ing and entering." She glided to the
door and noiselessly tried it.
AVith the usual " depravity of inani
mate objects," it gave a t peat-herons a,iieuk
as orw turned the knob, and hhe fled
precipit-t'ely, hut not nntil she hud drop
ped far inside the hallway a sir.ail, f.it,
white envelope, superscribed to " Kls'n
Doolittle, From a Friend and Urother."
Luckily no one was purring on that
qniet street, and when Doris was far
enough from the brown house s'ae re
sumed her ordinary gait. Though walk
ing with outward calmness there waa a
turmoil nnder her brown cloth jacket.
She felt like one who has burned his
ship behind him and for what ?
To gratity a sentimental fancy, and to
prepare for herself still longer years of
toil and self-denial Yet how she exul
ted in the thought.
"He will get upon his feet agiin and
prosper and he will owe it all to meand
never know."
Two weeks later, Tljedville was set
agog by the news that F.ben Djolittle, af
ter a rapid recovery, had settled up his
debts and gone west to make investments
which promised to be very profitable.
" Must ha' hed a legacy or souiethin',"
said one old crone to another.
" Borried from Peter to pay Paul, mos'
likely," was the answer.
The day after then left R dville, Dir
is Hi'.burn'a right arm became helpless
from rheumatism. She did np her bit of
honse work, but cutting and sewing were
oat of the question.
Then Doris, with a rather grim smile.
sat down before her kitchen tire with a
bit of a memorandum-book on her knee,
and a pencil in her left hand.
Slowly and clumsily she jotted down
some items, and gazed at them stonily.
" One-fourth of a sack of flour enough
for the bakings, if I can manage to work
dough with one hand.
" Two quarts of beans, half a paper of
oatmeal, and ten pint milk tickets.
" Six quarts of potatoes, a 'stump of
dried beef, a sugar-bowl nearly full, four
or five'drawings' of tea.
" One barrel of coal (enough to last ten
davsi and old shingles enough in the
back yard to keep me from freezing when
the coal's gone.
" No rent to pay, and sixty-two cents
coming to uie from Ann Finney.
" Not such a desperate allow ing after
all. May be toy arm w ill be well before
every scrap ia eaten."
Then she laughed nntil the tears
came.
" Everybody w ill say, now lucky that
Doris has money in the savings bank.
She t an live on the interest while she is
disabled.' "
In point of fact, that is substantially
what everrbodv did ear : and Doris
smiled her little grim smile, and inras
ared her potatoes and flour for each day,
and doled oat her coal so much for the
morning, so much for night and was
ready, for very joy. to clap her hands, if
one had not been helpless. Eben Doolit
tle, prosperous, hod almost passed ont of
her life excert as a rairue, somewhat
pensive memory Eben Doolittle, sick,
forlorn and in debt, called back all the
old affection, added to a maternal pity
and yearning.
And, day by day, the potatoes dwin
died and the flour grew less, while the
crippled band became no better. At last
the final morse 1 of food had disappeared,
and Dorai scraped the coal barrel with
her left Land.
"I have the shingles to Call back on,
she said. " It's lock I dried a good pile
of them in the oven while the coal C re
lasted.
The day oiler she had eaten her last
sarin r of oatmeal she did not feel so brUk
and so independent of physical limitations-
If "ont of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketb," it is no less
true that "ont of the etnptinras of the
stomach the thought nttereth itself."
" I know I've been what people call ' a
born fool, but said I wonld take the
risk. If I die, F.ben will neTer know
why. He will come and drop a tew
tears on my grave, likely, and reniin'l
himself of the pleasant walks and talks
we used te have before the trouble came
between na. And how the neighbors will

Kut Doris did not die. She lived a
day and a half w ithont !, because she
was too proud to nuv in to any of her
neighbors' houses in aociabie w ay for a
rap of tea. I
Toward the end of the second day,
Mrs. Gillepie ojieneil the kitchen door,
and found !vria weak and shivering in
her little bedroom, derating within her
self whether she shonhl make a friendly
v isit to Ann Fiuuey, htr next neighbor,
where she would be sure of a hearty wel
come, warmth and supper.
" Why, Ioris Ililburu, your fire is as
dead as Julius Caesar, aad you look as if
you were going to have, a fever. What
ever in this world possesses yoo to keep
so at home ? I meant to send Sarah Jane

Doris smiled a faint smile of welcome

The good lady put ber back to bed,
pursued the usual con rue in cases of

and I'll light the tire toi you."
The dress-maker murmured something
almost unintelligible about " ordering

truthful. But Mrs. Gillespie was already
out in the kitchen, lifting the stove
lids, and with her suspicions at last
aroused.
"There is some mystery here," she
confided to the poker, a she cleaned out
a few wood ashes. "Doris looks pinched
with hunger, and that fainting was a bad
piece of business."

si-ftiy opening the buttery .door and glan

" What a godsend '." thought Doris,
notdreaining that herjuid friend suspect
ed the truth.
It was a heavenly change when, after
lettiDg the light wood-fire'Uie down and
fastening the doors securely, Doris, with
her satchel bag " on her left arm, ac
couipaniifd her friend to the home over
flowing with plenty.
The merriment after supper was at its
height when some one knocked at the
side-door.
"Etjen Doolittle' Come in, and wel
come home again," said Mrs. Gillespie.
Kben's handsome fat brightened as
he put out his hand to Doris, after greet

second time that day, but fate was mer

The opportunity came at last, and af
ter taffy, pop-corn, names and riddles,
she and Eoeu were alone for a moment
in Mrs. Gillespie's sitting-room, while
that lady and Sarah Jane were exchang
ing good nights with the Simpson girls at
the door.
" I suppose I am very nngallant not

and clapped her clump bands in ap

Thrift.
One of the greatest English writers is
Smiles. It is a happy name. His writ
ings are as happy as his name, and
a'.ioond in that practical philosophy
known as common Sense. I have always
recommended the coming man to read
Smiles, and it is oot of the wisdom of
Smiles that f write this essay.
Thrift of time is eiial to the thrift of
money. Franklin said, "Time is gold."
If one wishes to earn money, it may le
done by the proper use of time. Ilut
time may also be spent in doing many
good and noble actions. It may be spent
in learning, in study, in art, in science, in
literature. Time can be economized by
system. System is an arrangement to se
cure certain ends, so that no time mar
be lost in accomplishing them. Every
business man must be systematic and or
derly; so must every housewife. There
must be a place for everything and ev
erything in its place. Tiiere itiiut also
be a time for everything, and everything
must be done in time.
It is not necessary to show that econo
my is useful. Nobody denies that thrift
may be practiced. We see numerous ex
amples of it What many men have al
ready done, all other men may do. Nor
is thrift a painful virtue. On the contra
ry, it enables as to avoid much contempt
and many indignities. It requires us to
deny ourselves, but not to abstain from
any proper enjoyment. It provides many
honest pleasures of whk:! thrLftlessuess
and extravagance deprive us.
Coniparatirely few people can be rich ;
bat most have it in their power to acquire
by industry and economy, sufficient to
meet their personal wants. They may
even become the possessors of savings
sufficient to secure them agiinst penury
and poverty in their old ag. It is not,
however, the want of opportunity, but
the want of will, that stands in the way
of economy. Men may labor unceasing
ly with hand or head ; but they cannot
abstain from spending too freely and liv
ing too highly.
The majority prefer the enjoyment of
pleasure to tlie pra..ice of self-denial.
With the mass of men the animal is par
amount. They often gpen ! all that they
earn. Itut it is not merely the working
gieople who are spendthrifts. We hear
of men who for years have been earning
and Sending thousand a year, who sud
denly die, leaving their children penni
less. Every lasly kno4S of such cises.
At their death the very furniture of tile
house they have lived in belongs to oth
ers. It is sold to pay their funeral ex
penses and the debts which they have
incurred during their thriftless lifetime.
Money represents a multitude of ob
jects without value, or without real util
ity; but it also represents something
much more precious, and that is inde
pendence. In this light it ia of great
moral importance.
As men become wise and thoughtful,
they generally become provident and
frugal. A thoughtless man, like a savage,
spendsashe gets, thinking nothing of to
morrow, of the time of adversity, or of
the claims of those he has made depend
ent upon him. But a wise man thinks of
tke future ; he prepares in good time for
the evil day that may come upon him
and his family ; and he provides careful
ly for thuse who are near and dear to
him.
The habit of saving arises, for the most
part, in tlie desire to ameliorate our so
cial condition, as well as to ameliorate
tlie condition of those who are depend
ent upon us. It dispenses with every
thing whtch is not essenti ii, and avoids
all methods of living that are wasteful
and extravagant A ptircha.-e made at
the lowest price will be dear, if it be a
superfluity. Little expenses lead to great.
Buying tilings that are not wanted soon
accusto us us to prodigality in other
things.
Cicero said, "i"t to have a mania fpr
buying is to jewejia a revenue.'' Many
are carried away by the habit of bargain,
buying. "Here ia something wonderfully
cheap ; let us bay it" "Have yoo any
use for it?" "No, not at present, buf it
is sure to come in useful some time."
Fashion runs in this habit of baying.
Some buy old china, as much as will fur
nish a china-shop. Others buy old pict
ures old furniture old wines all great
bargains ! There would be little harm in
buying these old things, if they were not
so often bought at the expense of the
connoisenr's creditors. Horace Walpole
once said ; "1 hope that there will not
be another sale, for I have uot an inch of
room nor a farthing left"
Socrates recommends fathers of fami
lies to obnerve the practice of their thrif
ty neighbors of those who rpend their
means to the best advantate and to
protj,t by their example. Thrift U essen
tially practical, aud tau bet U) taught
by facta.
Samuel Johnson hilly knew the straits
of poverty. He once signed his name
Iiupransus, or Dinnerless. lie had wa'k-
j ed the streets with Savage, not knowing
f where to lay his head at night Johu.-nn
never forgot the poverty through which
he passed in his early life, and he was al
ways consulting his friends and readers
to avoid it Like Cicero, he answerd that
the best source of wealth or well-being
was economy. He called it the daughter
of Prudence, the sister of Temperance,
and the mother of Liberty.
"Poverty," he said, "takes away so
many means of doing good, and produc
es so much inability to resist evil, both
natural and moral, that it is by all virtu
ous means to be avoided. IUrsolve,then,
not to be poor; whatever you have,
spend le. Frugality is not only Uie
basis of quiet, but of beneficence. No
man can help others who wants to help
himself; we most have enough before we
have to spare."
And again lie said : "Poverty is a re
enemy to hnman happiness. It certainly
destroys liberty, and it makes some vir
tues impracticable, and otliers extremely
difficult All to whom want ia
terrible, npon whatever principle, ought
to think themselves obliged to learn the
sage maxima of onr parsimonious ances.
tore, and attain the salutary arts of con
tracting expense ; for without economy
none can be rich, and with it few can be
poor."
When economy is looked npon as a
thing that must be practiced, it will nev
er be felt as a burden; and those who
have not before observed it, will be as
tonished to find what a few pence or
ehiT.irsgs laid aside weekly will do toward

securing moral elevation, menial culture,
and personal indepenilence,
Rome will say "it can't be done." But
everybody can do something. "It can't"'
is the ruin of men and of nations. In
fact, there is no greater rant than cun'f.
To do jnstice, a man must think well
not only of ttimflelf, Imt of the duties
which he owes to others. He mnst not
aim too low, but regard man as created
little lower than the angels." Let him
think of his high destiny of the eternal
interests in which he has a psrt of the
great scheme of nature and providen
, , - . v-ii i
of the intellect with wbicn he has been
endowed of the power
-, , ,
of love conferred
upon him ot the home on earth provid
ed for him ; and he will cea to think
meanly of himself. The poorest human
being is the center of the eternities, the
Creator overshadowing all.
Hence, let every man respect himself
his body, his mind, his character. Self
respect, originating in self-love, instigites
the first step of improvement. It stimu
lates a man to rise, to look upward, to de
velop his intelligence, to improve his
condition. Self-r-spect ia the root of
most of the virtues of cleanliness, chas
tity, reverence, honesty, sobriety. To
think meanly of one's self is to sink
sometimes to descend a precipice, at the
bottomof which is infamy.
Every man can help himself to some
extent. We are not mere straws thrown
upon the current to mark its course ; but
pueisescied of freedom of action, endowed
with power to stem the waves and rue
above them, each making out a course
for himself. We can each elevate our
selves in the moral of moral being. We
can cherish pore thoughts. We can per
form good actions. We can live soberly
and frugally. We can provide against
the evil day. We can read go.nl books,
listen to wise teachers, and place ourselves
under the divineet influences on earth.
We can live for the highest purposes, and
with the highest aims in view.
"Self-love and rocial are the same,"
says one of our poets. The man who im
proves himself improves the world. He
adds one more true man to the mass.
And the mass being made np of individ
uals, it is clear that were each to improve
himself, the result would be the improve
ment of the whole. Social advancement
is the ponsf-quoneeof individual advam-e-ment
The whole cannot le pure, unless
the individuals composing it are pure.
Society at large is but the reflex of indi
vidual conditions. All this is but the
repetition of a truism, but truisms have
often to be repeated to make their full
impression.
The uncertainty of life is a strong in
ducement to provide sgainst the evil day.
To do this is a moral and social as well
as a religious duty. "But if any provide
not for his own, and specially for those
of his own house, he hath den'ed the
faith, and ia worse than an infidel."
Thrift is not ia any way connected
with avarice, usury, jrned, or eelfisliness.
It is, in fact the very reverse of these dis
gusting dispositions. It uie ins economy
for the purpose of securing independence.
Thrift requires that money should lie
used and not abused that it should lie
honenlly earned and economically em
ployed. "Not for to put it in a hedg,
Not for a train attendant
But f r the glorious privilejre
Of being independent."

Shoeing Horses.
One of the greatest difficulties the man
who knows how his liorse should be shod
and tries to have it done properly has to
contend with is the inborn tendency of
horstshoers to cut awsy the frog ami
other soft parts of the foot The smith
seems to feel that there is a certain amount
of cutting to be done, and he is going to
do it wherg it CIS be dune the easiest.
The toucher toe is rarely cut away too
much, and very often not enough. The
frog ia the life of the whole foot, and no
horse can travel safely and comfortably
w ithout the use ot it It is the natural,
elastic rapport fur the bony puru abve
it, and is Intended to Break the concus
sion when the hone puts its foot npon
the ground. Instead of shoeing la a way
to favor this Use of the frog, many far
riers will cut it half away, and tell you
that it is necessary or the horse will
bruise his foot, and become injured or
disabled. In point of fact, however,
four-fifths of our horses become more or
less disabled on account of being de
prived of opportunities to bruise or ham
mer their frogs enough to keep np their
natural functions. The frog ir the only
part of the hoof which couiumnicales
with the nervous system, and throog.li it
with the brain, to enable the hoaw tu de
termine what hid foothold ia upon the
ground, wonder the shod horse
stumbles. In ordinary shoeing the thick
ness of the shoe lifts the heel otf the
ground and deprives the frig of needed
pressure. If then the frog ia reduced by
cutting, tlie mischief is made so m ch
the worse. Cutting the frog also causes
it to shrivel, unfit it for bearing weight
and contraction is certain to follow. In
w" liter it is diflicuit to avoid the use of
calks, unless, one drives or w or kit his
horse barefooted, which may be safely
done unless the road are very icy or the
loads very heavy ; but in summer nine
tenths of the horses osei on fam, or
driven on the country ronds, might wear
tips with great advantage. The writer
has ridden and driven many miles over
rough mountain roads, horses so shod,
and has yet to see anything but benefit
from the practice. As soon as shoes are
taken otf and the heels let down on the
ground, the hoof begins to expand and
the frog to develop, and it soon gets back
to its normal shape again. The edge of
a bare foot will break away and beeutse
tender, but we bare never known in
practice a healthy frog to be injured by
bruising. If horses mnst be sfiod, by all
means encourage the growth of the frog
in every possible way anil get as muck
pressure on it as yoa can. Don't even
allow the ragged edges to be trimmed off.

Distress after eating, Iturtbara, sick

Hood's Iraraa par ilia. It also creates a
good appetite.
About one-half the discomfort of this
life is the result of getting tired of our
selves. Some one should preach a sermon on
the bad taste of pursuing good taste too
exclusively.

bother her about yonr room. I will send
her up the first thing in the morning "
In the morning the new chambermaid
did, indeed, come the first thing, and tie
gentleman was still in lied. He, however
slipped into bis dressing-room to remain
UUtil the maid should do w 'mtever was
necessary in his chamber, aud Ukin j a
book he sat down to read while he was
waiting. He always carried with him a
diamond ring, which had been his moth
er's, which he sometimes hail in his
p-x kef. This he had left with his wa:ch
on the stand by the head of his bed.
He sat reading for some time, and eten
after he h.Pard the maid go out he kept
on with his book. Suddenly he heard a
slight noise in his chamlier, and, folding
his dreeing c-wn about him, he opened
the door and looked in. The chaiu'.ier
was apparently empty, but his eye was
caught by a cord which seemed to ex
tend from the open window towani t:ie
bed. (toing forward to examine this, 'ie
perceived a monkey, till then hidden
from sight by the bed, that, with Ins
diamond ring in his clutches, was mak
ing oifl The owner of the ring shouted
and ran forward, when the thievish ar.i
mal dropped its prey and skurried out of
the window as fast as its skinny little
legs would carry it, and, picking up the
jewel to as -ii re himself that it was alt
right, the gentleman reached the window
iu time to see an organ griuder makirg
off with the monkey on his shoulder.
There was no doubt that he had trained
the bettst to climb into w iudowsand stetd
any valuable upon which he could lay
hands, and the incident may serve as a
warning to those who allow onran mon
keys to scramble at will over their cham
ber blinds and windows.
But the imprest ve aspect of t';e stor--,
if one considers, is the position in whic i
the chambermaid would have been pet
had the owner of the ring appeared on
the scene but a moment later. The gH
was new in the house, there had no one
but herself entered the room, the ring
would have b.n missed almost immedi
ately, and the circumstantial evidence
would have been overwhelmingly againrt
her. As it was she never knew how
great a peril she had escited ; but the
man who tells tLo story declares that he
shall never be able to believe in circum
stantial evidt-aca again. Vptrvl-w IU

Speaking of valuable furniture," said
ex-Governor John I'nderwooa, of Ken-
i ttn ky, one day lately. " I place a higher
value on the leg-t of the table from which
I ate my find dinner after I was married
than the Vanderbiits do upon all the
furniture they own."
The assertion was taken with a grain
of allowance. '
"How is that. Governor?" asked one
of the company,
"Why, it W this way," and a merry
twinkle appeared in his eye. "When I
was married it was a sort of mnawij
match. I was a poor, young civil engin
eer, and not a desirable catch. I had a
suit-of rooms, partially furnished, and
these we reached in the forenoon. My
wiie wasn't hungry, and did not want U
go out for dinuer. So I hustled aronnd

it without the least prejudice, as a If ssr n
learned from simple experience, that the
most natural diet for the young, after the
natural milk diet, is fruit anil wholcmesl
bread, with ruiik and waier for drink.
The desire for this name mode of susten

as if the resort to flesh were a forced and
artificial feeding, which repaired It rg

How strongly this preference taste for
the delicious fruit for full mastication;
there is no such desire, except in the

Neither ia this a mere fancy or fad pecu

women. I have been surprised to see It
manifested in men who are the very re
verse of sentimental, and who were, in
fact, quite ashamed to admit themselves
guilt of any such weakness. I have

As is well know n, the 'J'icen is in the
habit of keeping rooms which have been
occupied by deceuwd relatives ! kel
up. The apurtuitnt at Claremont in
w hich Princess Charlotte died more than
seventy j ears ago are rigorously c'oeeil
and uubody is allowed to use them.
Prinee Albert's apartments at Windsor,
Osborne, and Calmon.1 are all kept pre
cisely as they were when lie was alive,
and on the wail of the room in which he
expired there is a tablet with an inscrip
tion recording the fact that " this atM
ment was the scene of his demise." The
Duchess of Kent's roouia at Frt-gtuore
are also shut up an arraugeuient which
renders that abode absolutely useies, in
asmuch as they are the be4 in the house.
Frogtuore, by the way, ia oiLciaily a jmrt
of Win.lsor Cattle, and any repairs that
are done there go into the castle account.
The Queen has also kept John Brown's
rooms at Windsor entirely closed siaco
the death of that domestic, aad a large
brass has been erected in the artarttm ut
in w hich he expired with an iu ri t'su
commemorating his virtues aud deplor
ing his loss. LiuvLia Tt'tlU.
Guard Your Temper.
The most common form of unhealthy
excitement is uncontrollable rage. In

a tit of savage passion was of common oc
currence, and did not leave very serious,
consequences behind. Cut in these days,
when the nervous system is a thousand
times more sensitive snd delicate, when
digestion is doubtful ami sleep a coy g.el
des eay to drive away and diflicult
bring back again, a man has to think
tice? In-fore he allowi himself to ros
the borler-line between reigned-in anger
and furious runaway rage.
Such a state of mind, now euphemistic
ally called a "nerve norm, "takes it ont
of some men terribly. They feel after it
a profound exhaustion and lassitude
which may endure for hours. The digc.
tion is often impaired, the liver disor
dered aad the heart and brain injured.
A man who habitually indulges in vio
lent rage is laying up for himself A store
of ills against advancing age, the least of
which may be a general pa'sy, the great
est a sodden ami fatal fit of apoplexy.
An Important Element
Of the success of Hood's Sarsnpirilla is
the fact that every pun baser receive? a
fair equivalent for h money. The fam
iliar head line 100 les one Dollar,"
stolen by imitators, is original with and
tnie only of Hood's Sarsapuriila. Thir
can be easily be proven by any one who
desires to test the matter. For real emn-
nsy, buy only Hood's Sarsapurilla. SoU
