VALUE OP A BEC0MIX3 BOSKET. The value of a becoming bonnet cannot be calculated. One's gown may be simple, may have been made over a number of times, may, indeod, be almost shabby, but if the bonnet is becoming all else is forgotten. One's bonnet has much to do with bringing out the virtues or otherwise, not only of one's eyes and hair, but of one's skin and the shape of one's head. The round-faced, plump beauty must give up her tics unless they are of tho narrowest and looped with so much care thnt the idea of framing the full moon is not suggested. She whose face is slender (politeness gives that name to thinness), then there must be a soft, full framing and broad loops that will tone down all angles. She who is sallow must admire rose, pale blue and heliotrope on other women, choosing golden brown, that most charitable of tones, deep crimson, and if a light evening color is required, a delicate shrimp to make the yellow of her skin white. The pale woman chooses rose, dark blue, all reds, dark green, glowing purple and black to gain color.while bbe of the rosy cheeks seleots pale blue, heliotrope, olive, cream white and crimson, if she wishes them not to look like roses. It your eyes are dull do not make them seem more so by putting sparkling jet or brilliant rhiiiestones near them. Boston Cultivator. A CLEVER WOMAN SCULPTOR. Miss Bossie Onahotema Potter, whose work is so markedly original as to bring her fame while yet ia her teens, is a St. Louis girl, young, en thusiastic, with the light hearted cor diality of a happy ohild. She is a wee mite of a woman, with great, dark eyes and an expression of rare sweet ness and strength. Miss Potter is an artist by instiuct, affection and train ing. Her art impulso is essentially moderu and realistic. Indeed, her ability to tee the artistio possibilities in modern life is undoubtedly one phase of her genius, and it is this characteristic that has so individual ized her work and brought her such immediute recognition in the art world. When the fashionable young women of Chioago come to Miss Potter's Btudio to be "done" in one of her por trait statuettes, she does not insist upon thrir donning Greek or Empire gowns, or suggest a Gainsborough hat or lace drapery. She accepts her sit ters as they come, dressed by Worth, Douoet or a Chioago modiste, finding, as she exp esses it, " 'lines' and grace enough iu the ninuteeth century maideu and er gowns to satisfy her in the interpret -.tiou of art." Miss Potter does not confine herself to this work iu miniuture ; she has done excellent work in life size boats and bus-reliofs. Her bust of Professor David Swing, completed a year ago, is, perhaps, the uio.it impressive piece of work she has ever modeled. After seeing the bust one does not need to be told that Professor Swing was a great hearted, big brainoj IcaJer of men. Demorest's Mugazine. GOSSIP.

It would seem that the whito mnn. on sc. pount of hts superior advantages, should be the teacher of his red brother, but In the fol lowing Incident the Indian sets the (food ex ample and teaches a much needed temper ance lesson. In the dense forests nlomr the banks of the Black River In Northern Michigan foxes and Wolves aro numerous, aud occasionally a bear or deer mav bo soen. One day a sportsman, after a long chase. sucoecdod iu shooting a doer, nnd as ho was a long way up the river, ho decided to call at the nearest Indian hut and borrow a boat to take his game to Cheboygan. He found an inuian in the woods pceltug rircn bark, nna. thinking to ingrntintu himself, he drew from ins pocket a lliisk ni wnisKy. "Mo drink no whisky, snul the Indian. "Don't drink whisky?" asked tho sports man, lu astonishment; "I thought my red brothers all liked red whisky." "ies, me like It, said the Indian. "Like it. and don't drink it?" axolalmed the sportsman. "If you like it, why not drink it?" "Me like it and drink littlei brother drink little, Want moret blmely heap druuk Injun. Ughl me no drink any," said tho Inuian. The sportsman looked at the Indian, then at the whisky, and finally dashed the flask against a stone, breaking It and emptying tne contents upon tne ground, lie stood gnsing at the broken flask awhile, nnd then told his errand. The Iudian rolled up his bark, went to the river with the sportsmnn, helped to get the deer into tho bout and took them to Sheboygan. At parting the sports man grasped tho red man's baud and ealdi "Thank you for your temperance lecture; I shall drink uo more." Tho Indian smiled, seated himself iu the boat and rowed back to his hut. CHAPLAIN M'CADE ON BEER AND BREAD. Id a recent issue you say, "Anarchists waut to get bread by force, but they seoin willing to pay for beer." Yes, and how much do they pay? The Anarchists are only a very small wing of tho laboring classes ot our country. It is hardly worth whilo to 11 ud out how much tbey pav for beer and whisky, but the millions of working people pay over 75J,oOO,000 every year for that which is not bread. Why not remind them of this fact? They are tbe main support of tbe colossal rum trallle which boasts of drnwiug into its coffers ti00,OCO,000 annually. The laboring people of the country spend more for whisky nnd beer than the entire bankiug capital of tbe Nation. If they would save what they spend in this way ana start banks tbey could soon have 10,000 bauks with $2,250,000,000 capital. Don't get the Ug ures wrong. I'll write it out sothem will be no mistake. Iu three yenrs, by saving wunt they pour down their throats, they could have banks running iu their interest with an aggregate capital of two thousand two hun dred and fifty millions of dollars, leaving a net proflt of at least one hundred millions a year to be divided among them. l'ut this at them put it at them strong: The way for tho poor to ut rich is to stop "spending money for that whioli is not bread and their labor for that whioh sntls fleth not." Oh for a nubho press that will snoak fear lessly on this subject. rittsburg Chroniole Telegrapu. . DRUNKENNESS DECREASING. Mr. Arthur Bhadwell's article In tho National Review ou "The Decline of Drunk enness" compares the state ot things in 1834, os revealed before a seleot committee of the House of Commons, with the latest statistics about the present time. It we go baok to the police returns of 1833 we find a very fair test: The returns for 1333 givo the number of "drunks'" in London for the previous year as 29,880 to a population ot 1,655,000, or one to fifty in rouud numbers. More than one-third were women; or, to be exact, the proportion was eleven women to nineteen men. In the two previous years tha number was considerably hlghor. Moreover, accord ing to Mr. Chambers, a polioe magistrate, these figures did not ineludo 8560 "disor derly" cases, who wore separately charged, bringing the full list up to 38,410. or about one to forty. Iul894 the number of "drunks" in tbe Metropolitan Police area and the city was 25,903, to a population ot 15,633,806, or one to 216 lu ground numbers. In ordor to be quite fair, however, it should be men tioned that the figures for 1894 refer only to convictions: while it is not oloar whether those of 1833 wore all convicted, or only charged with tho offimee. But taking thorn as arrests only, and comparing them with the 84,658 apprehensions of last vear. we still have a relative amount of public, drunken ness iu 1833 fully four times greater than ir 1894. CURED DV BIS PICTURE.- A woman in Balemville, Peun., who bad suffered great distress for many years on account of her husband's convivial habits, determined at last that ho should know bow he looked wheu he was druuk, says an ex change, riho felt that this would be a dis agreeable revelation, for, like most men who drink to excess, he never nppearcd to think that he might look any worse tUau other men. Ho ouou, wheu he enmo home under the influeuo of more liquor than was necessary and fell into a maudlin slumber she sent for a photographer and ordered him to take a picture of her husband as ho sat iu his chuir. This the photographer faithfully did, and the picture was a great success being an excellent likeness. Next luom!ii. the husband found tbe photograph lying beside his pinto at the breakfast table. Thore was no need ot explanation, for it ex plained itself. He studied it long and bard, und then put it iu his pocket, Hinco theu ho has not taken a drink. ALL TUB BLAME. A stronger attack upon tho liquor truffle could not be niude than is contained in the following lines written by a Washington saloon-keeper to his wife just before be coin ii: mod suicide after a drunkeu debauch: "Dear Wife Give all the blume to the busi ness we went iu uuudvlsodly." The writei of those words was once a respcoted business mun. He went into tbe saloon business and now his body lius in a drunkard's grave. TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

Little attention was paid td tha writing on the glass at the time, t nt as soon as ii was learned that Booth had killed the Tresident, tbe circumstances connect ed with the window inscription were recalled, the glass was removed from its sash, framed in a plain black wood frame, a piece of dark velvet being placed at its bsfk to facilitate reading, and the signature of Booth entered ou tho register ou August 13 was cut from the book nnd attached to the window glass. The original pone is how in the possession of the War De partment, to which it was presented by the daughter of the owner of the hotel, Miss Mary MoHonry, some time after the assassination of tho Frosi dent.
