Pencil Boxes. Tlio pencil boxes now so commonly carried by school ohildren aro made in about 125 different stylos. They retail at from five to twenty-live cents each. Formerly all the pencil boxes sold in this couctry were imported from Germany, but for the last few years wo have been making pencil boxes 111 America. Abont one-third of the boxes sold here arc of home manufacture and of superior quality. The production is steadily increasing. All tlio locks used are imported from Germany. There is a box made here with a catch instead of a lock, an American idea, whioh is made here entire. The cheaper German boxes are made by hand at the homes of tho makers; the better ones are made in factorios by machinery. All the American boxes are made by ma chinery in factories located in lum ber-growing regions, in proximity to the wood supplied. nig Cast Steel Couplers. The automatic couplers of unnsnal aize were cast in steel recently by a Chicago concern. They were for a private car on the Chicago, Hock Is land and Pacific Railroad, which was to bo used for a long trip, and two couplers were needed that could bo I used with tho Miller hook draft rig ging on it. They were made of cru cible steel, and are sixty-eight inches long from the inner face of the knuckle to the end of tailpiece. Tho couplers were Derfectly satisfac tory and needed no straightening. The weight of each coupler is 574 pounds. —Philadelphia Record. Stocked Willi Mongolian Pheasants.

It is stated in nn annual report of tho Ohio Hospital for Epileptics that : tho daily average number of patients was 462.

Sim Whackulip and Rn Haoketon wore two oowpunehers employed by old man QJibey, and a clause in thcii contract speuifled the hours of labor to be from sunup to sundown. Way up in a lofty mountain park ranged the beef steers of old man Glibey, culling the rank grasses and piling on pounds of fat. Sim and Ru wero olose hording the steers, and sat in the sad dle from dawn till dusk, masticating plug tobacco and bewailing their lot in life. "I'm no calamity howler," said Sim, "but it does seems to me that tho days up here aro uncommon long. They 'penr a heap longer than down in Texas, and peoooliar, too, the nights are a heap shorter. What's tho mat ter with this year no 'count country, anyhow? Seems like a fellah don't mor'n slide oaten the saddle ford he's crawl'n onto ther bronk ag'in. Long ez I did live I never see sich days fur breadth and stayin' qualities." Ru was more taciturn, but coincid ed in his partner's opiuion that tho days wero lengthy and suggested that perhaps tlio agreement calling for work from sun to sun had aflcoted their imaginations. j " 'Tain't so," said Sim. "Old Gli | bey knew what ho wasa-doing when he | drawed that fool contract. If I hadn't been on the hog I wouldn't a-gono to work. Let's clic.b that old mountain aud see how tho sun works up here in Colorado." So the siukiug sun that night found our two punchers on tho loftiest peak, prepared to make observations. Sim got on tho western slopo and was to report the setting to Ru, who occu pied the opposite side of the summit. ! Just as the upper edge of tho fiery orb cut the horizon Sim warned bis fellow, with, "Tlinre sho goes," and received tho depressing response of "Yes, aud here she comes, by thunder," point ing to tho first crack of dawn in the east. —Denver Field and Farm.

Soft, natural looking waves of hair are mado by rolling tho hair over large, soft papers or kid curlers, roll ing from the top of the curl toward the end. The hair should be wet and left on the rolls over night. If that is not done, pinoh the curls with a hot iron. If you wish to have tho hair S6t out around tho face, turn the teeth of your ..side combs toward the face, not awav from it. Catch them through the end of your waves and you can "fluff" the hair as little or as muoh as jou choose.—New York Telegram. WOMEN IN AUSTRIAN PRISONS. lii Austria, a womau, no matter what she may do, is never regarded or treated quite as a criminal. She may rob, buru, kill—set every law at de fiauce, in fact, and break all the com mandments in turn—without a fear of ever being called upon to face the gal lows. She is not even sent to an ordi nary prison to do pennuce for her sins; the hardest fate that can befall her, indeed, is to be compelled to take up her abode for a tiuio in a convent. There tho treatment meted out to her is not to much justice seasoned with mercy as mercy seasoned, and none too well, with justice. Even in offi cial roports she is an "erring sister" —one who has, it is true, strayed from tho narrow path, but quite involun tarily.—Coruhill Magazine. PRINCESS MACD. I was talking tho other day, said a writer in the Queen, to one of ihe Marlborough House officials, who has been a member of tho Prince of Wales's household for many years, and who gave mo some not uninteresting information iu regard to the Princess Maud of Wales, tho news of whose be trothal to one of tho Danish Princes was recently announced. Both she and her jsister, Victoria, are gentle, cultured, unassuming girls, as unlike tho traditional idea of royal Prin cesses in their manners as may well be conceived. Both of them shrink from the formal ctiquetto which at. times they aro compelled to follow, and they nre never so happy as when on rare oc casions they are enabled to pass a few days, or oven a few hours, incognito. It is only a week or two ago that I noticed them myself trotting about the Westminster Aquarium and gaz ing at all the eights therein to be seen, iu company with their royal mother aud a few mombers of tho household, like any ordinary family of country cousin?. Princess Maud has a weak ness for collecting[curios, carved ivor ies in particular being her especial hobby. Of these she has already gath ered quite a large collection. Like her sister, sho is thoroughly domesti cated, and tho active interest she has taken iu the model dai#v at Sandring liam has made her quite an expert batter maker. TWO BRIDES. New York in a day oilers some in teresting contrasts. Tho day that the Vandorbilt wedding party rolled up to St. Thomas's with rustle of satins and Hash of diamonds and perfume of flowers, and the bride with her Duke, with tho pretty bridesmaids scatter ing blossoms in their path, came down the church aisle, and all of them rolled away in their coaches to tho wedding breakfast with pomp and pageantry— that same day another prooession was watcbcd by a World reporter. It was also a bridal procession. The bride was dressed m white robes »nd upon her bro.v there was tho band of a holy order. She role with the bride groom Death in a plain, cheap coffin in a sable hearse. There wero no flowers, no emblems. The single car riage that followed the hearse con tained four placid-faced nuns. A few passers stopped to watch the little cortege as it crossed Broadway; a cable car waited for the hearse to pass and dashed on in front of Ihe car riage, and then the cortege had passed out of sight, the peaceful bride to wards tho far country.—Now York World.

Sable, mink, martin, astrakhan and lamb.are used to accentuate cloth. The latest velvet capo is made with fur gores, aud the effect is novel but exceedingly stylish. Muffs are iu vogue this winter, and they aro made of various materials, and in many shapes and sizes. Whito gloves and those of pearl colored kid are worn almost as much in the daytime as in the evening. Lyons tulle of diaphanous meshes is chosen for party gowns, and this sea son is most often of snowy whiteness. Tho rough fabrics this season in clude the bourettes and boucle goods, tho Scotch heather-mixed cheviots and stylish English tweeds. The brocaded waist is most often round in the back, with a long slender point in front fasteued by only two darts and a middle seam. The Louis Treize, Louis Quatorze and Seize jackets still hold their own, and will probably remain popular and in good style through the winter. Gilded silver trinkets are newer and more popular than those of bright sil ver. They wear almost as well as pure gold and are much less expensive. Black velvet capes elaborately and very beautifully wrought with jet, or nearly covered with jot and silk-cord appliques, are exceedingly fashion able. A sable jacket with gold and tur quoise belt has enormous gigot sleeves of brown velvet tucked above tho el bow in row after row around the arm. Turquoise blue is even more popular thau it was last season, and, indeed, all shades of light blue are muoh worn as tho navy blue so common now lor street costume?. Turned-over oollars of whito linen, two inches wide, mounted on straight bands, are again worn with moruing toilets bythoso whose complexion will permit the use of this very thiik white. A fancy for white is seen in many thiugs this season. Thus a stock-ool lar of white satin ribbon drawn iu I folds and tied in a bow at the back is worn with a gown of almost any color | and any fabric. Velvet hat and bonnet crowns are in . chameleon colors wrought with silk j stitches and heeds, or they may be in ' a rich aud glowing mouoohrome or in mingled tones to please the most ro il ned taste.

The subscriber who requested a re cipe for toilet soap will find the foN lowing excellent: Boil together slowly, for one boar, two pounds of pars beef tallow, two of washing soda, one pound of salt and one ounce each of gum camphor, oil of bergamot and borax ; stir it'often ; let it stand until oold, then warm it over, so that it will run easily, and turn into aoulds dipped in cold water. Like all soaps, it improves with age. An oatmeal soap that softens the skin may be economically made from bits of castile and glycerine soap, if these are allowed to accumulate when they get too small for toilet purposes. Make a saturated solution of pulver ized borax and cut into it all the bits of soup, boiling until they are dis solved and the mixture as thick as cream; stir into the mass oatmeal enough to make a thick, but soft, paste, mingling with the meal a little sulphur and pulverized camphor, stir until it cools somewhat, but is still soft enough to pour into a mould or moulds,—New York Herald.

Lloyd, a worklngman, living at No. 6FI White av.. in tho 18th Ward, Cleveland, 0., first bought llipans Tabules ot 'lenfleld, tho drug gist. In an Interview hail with him on the Bth of May, 1895, by a repor ter named A. B. Calhoun, residing at 1747 East Madison av., Cleveland,, Mr. Lloyd said that ho was at pres ent out of a job, but expected to go to work next week at the Bridge Works. "Anyway, I have the prom ise of a job there." were his words. He had been out ot employment since lant fall. We will let him tell his story in his own words. "Work was a little slack, and I was feeling so bad that I concluded to lay off for a few days, and when I returned my place was filled, so I've l:W«u.out ever since. I don't care much, though. I've been gaining right along by mv rest and treatment. Last fall I went to a doctor who was recommended to me as a good ono and with quite a reputation. He gave me medicinos of all kinds for nearly six weeks, and I got no bene fit that I could see. In fact. I don't believe he knows what is the matter with me. A friend of mine called one evening and told me he had been using llipans Tabules for A short time and ha 1 never found any thing that helped his stomach and liver troubles as much as they did. He handed me a circular about them, which I read, and concluded that they were just what I needed and would fit my ense exactly. I dropped Br. at once, went over to the drugstore and got n 50-cent fxix of them, out of which I took two a day for awhile, and within three days noticed and felt much improve ment. That was about tho middle of Becember. Last February I got another small box of the Tabules and took part of them only, as I was feeling so much better that I didn't think I needed any more. The rest of tho box I gave to John C —— tho other day. IT I had heard of them at tho time I stopped work I could have saved my doctor bill, and, better than all, probably kept right on with my work. But I do not be grudge the time lost nor tho doctor bill, as 1 feel I am well paid for hav ing learned of the Tabules. I now fee: no pain whatever in my stomach, lirer ami bowels active and regular, and eat like a well man should eat."
