A growing appetite was not sufficient to make George Dewey a chunky boy, however, by any means. He was small for his years and his activity kept him thin.

Dark eyes flashed from a brown, intelligent countenance that was always beaming with good nature and youthful plausibility. An erect bearing end au air of command well became him. it would seem that he was always meditating a mischief or an exploit of which he was himself the centre figure and his chums his faithful satellites.

Beautiful Fan ftlade by Filipinos, One scarcely thinks that the Fili pinos are capable of dainty work, but Miss Augusta Akmeyer, of St. Louis, has reoeived from Manila a fan foi which for beauty rivals anything of tli« kind ever devised by the artistit Japanese. The fan is made to fold. The handle and separating parts are made of frail ivory, daintily carved. Inserted into the end of each is the feather of a swan, at the end of which is the gorgeous tip of a peacock feather, altogether forming au attractively beautiful blending of natural colors. Perhaps the most beautiful piece of work in the construction of the fan lies in the swan feathers. Woven into tbtse slender feathers are variegated threads, forming fantastic figuring of flowers, personages and leaves. In the centre of the right side of the fan is woven among the feathers a picture representing a man and a woman picking fruit. Into this one picture alone is introduced an amazing woof of colors, varied as those of the rain bow, causing one to marvel how such a variety of threads could be woven so intricately and with such perfect precision upon the slender swan feathers. About these figures are clustered vari-colored flowers and leaves, the latter being of a pure white silk, while the former are made of silks of many hues. Upon the re verse side of the feathers are also in numerable woven flowers and leaves. The work is evideutly that of some pasi master in the art. Robby Went to the Circus. "Mamma," said Bobby the other day when he came home from 3chool, "has irony anything to do with you?" "Nothing whatever, Bobby; irony means that we mean the opposite of what we say." Bobby thought a moment, and con tinued: ' 'I don't love you just a cent's worth, mamma. Is that irony?" "I suppose so," replied his mother, with a smile that she didn't attempt to repress. "Then," said Bobby, with an air of triumph, "wasn't it irony when you said, the day before yesterday, that you wouldn't give one a quarter to buy a ticket for the circus to-day?" Whether it was or not, he went to the circus that afternoon.—Harper's Bazar. Curious Facts Regarding Sunshine. Statistics obtained by sunshine re corders are interesting.

Klser, In Chicago Times-Herald. fm^WKENuiGI I OF CALEB. j He was lame, and his pigeon-toed bait called forth the ridicule of his playmates. The boys did not mean to be unkind when they laughed at Caleb. They were thoughtless. Thoughtless boys are nearly always kind boys when they are aroused, but it usually takes something akin to an earthquake to wake them tip. Caleb was poor. He had grown too fast and was distressingly awkward. He never kuew his lessons. He did not pay attention and was continually in disgrace. All these things could have been forgiven him, had he not been untidy. His hands were always grimy and his face was always imndged; his clothes were unwashed and his hair uncombed. In the two-roomed house which he jailed home and shared with seven sther children, Caleb slept iu the dry goods box that served as a table. The box was turned with the open side to ward the door. When the boy rose in the morning he was ready for breakfast, if there was any, and if there was none he went out of the door and seldom returned until time togo to bed. At school the teachers tried to im prove his personal habits, but at last gave up and put him in an isolated seat in the corner. One autumn a slender girl took the reins of school government in her hands. She did not look equal to the stirring western school of eighty pupils, and the patrons said so, one to another. Of all these things Miss Wo'.cott was serenely ignorant, and us the school days went by the rough boys grew less rough and the rude girls .ess rude. She examined Caleb's grimy finger-marked copybook and '.aid her hand on his unkempt curls. "You can do better than that, Caleb," Hlie said. "Kuu and wash your hands." Tho boy looked up doggedly. "There isn't any towel," he said. "1 will give you one." Ho was goie a long time. Miss Wolcott went in search of him and found him gazing ruefully at his black paw-marks on the snowy linen. "Try a little more soap and water. Daleb," said Miss Wolcott. He did, and the etl'ect was pleasing to him, for he smiled broadly and gazed long at his white hands. "Take this fresh page of your copy book and see how nice you cau keep it," said Miss Wolcott. The next day he splushed about in wash-basin without being told to do so. He a«»plied water and soap to his face and surprised every one, him self iucluded. Day by day the pages af the copybook grew whiter and the letters neater. One morning he took aff his coat and proudly displayed his shirt. "I washed it myself," he said. "It looks very nice," said Miss Wolcott, smiling brightly at him. "Here is a little comb which I want you to have." He did not thank her, but stood first on one foot and theu an the other and smiled, showing his eveu white teeth. He learned his los sons and was no longer looked upon as simple minded. U hen the examina tion 1 eports were sent home he stood uear the head of the list. "How do you like your new teacher, Ca'ebV" asked the janitor one day. "Things aren't like they used to be," he said. "Miss Wolcott is kind to a fellow and never knocks him übout or says mean things to him euce." "She will if you goto acting up." Caleb smiled and half closed his dark eyes. "We'll see," ho said aloud, and to himself. "I shan't act up." The date for the annual exhibition of school work drew near. Hundreds of sheets of paper were to be neatly lined with red ink. Miss Wolcott grew weary. "Who cau help me?" she asked her self. "No one," and she went on rul ing. On Saturday morning Caleb ap peared at Miss Woh-ott's door. His face and hands were clean and every curl was crisp and tight. "Let me help you rule the papers, Miss Wolcott," he said. She was very tired and felt at first annoyed that she should have to be bothered with the boy. Then her true self rose above the weariness and she realized that it might be her oppor tunity to help the fliendless child. So she gave him work on condition that he did not spoil many sheets. He worked rapidly and neatly. The next Saturday he helped Miss Wolcott carry all of tho dainty ribbon-tied essays, stories aud written recitations to the schoolroom. "Tho papers are all so nice. They are wo-th a great deal to me, Caleb," said Miss Wolcott as she closed the schoolroom door. That night the fire whistle rang its terrifying chromatic scale. Miss Wol cott looked out of her window—tho school building was in flames. She hastened to the burning house. The roof fell in as she neared it, and two firemen carried some one out on a shutter. It was Caleb. He had heard the fire alarm and hasteued to save the exhibitiou work. He was taken to a hospital, and Miss Wolcott staid by his side. At last he opened his eyes and smiled— "l saved some of them," he said. Theu he lapsed again into uncon sciousness. Caleb's bravery awakened the in terest of the schoolboys, and they spent their spare time by his cot. As he grew better their bright minds be gan to evolve plans for liiin. "Father said he would take him into our house as though he were his son, if we couldn't do any better," said Harold. "But I think by the way he said it that he expects us to do better—l mean to think of something better." "Well, there's his mother and broth ers and sisters," said another. "Perhaps they could do better if they had a chance." "Let's go and see 'em,"said Lester, and they started off at once. The boys staid but a moment in the poor little home. "Gee!" said Harold, as they started toward home, "Barefooted in March." "And there wasn't a thing in the cupboard," said another. "Let's ask Miss Wolcott to come and help us fix them up," said Lester, "I'm not very good at washing dirty little kids' faces. What do the rest of you say?" "I wish that we could do it all our selves," said Harold thoughtfully. "Harold has a scheme," said Les ter. "Yes, I have and I want to talk to father about it." Harold spoke to his father that evening. "You see,father,"he said; "I thiuk that the i ight way to help people is to help tl.em to help themselves." The man smiled down very indul gently at tho earnest lad. "What had you thought of, my son?" "Well, I hardly know, but I have wondered if they could not do some thing to pay the rent on our cottage. There are three acres of land there and those boys could raise chickens aud vegetables." "That is quite a grown-up plan for such a little lad. Talk it over with the rest of the boys and see what they can suggest." A meeting was held in the school room the next evening. The boys suggested and discussed until the room was almost dark. "What does Caleb's mother do?" asked one boy. "She makes vests,"said a palo little fellow in the corner. "Gone from homo all day, I sup pose," said Harold. "Yes." "Our housokeeper says it's worth a dollar a week to keep my clothes mended," said Lester. "What do you fellows say to hiring Caleb's mother to keep us mended up until we think of something better?" It was agreed to by all the boys, and the big family was trausferied to the pretty suburban cottage. "Say, Caleb's mother can't saw wood,"said one of tho boys some days later. "Well, we can," said Harold. "And that gurdenmust be plowed," said another. "I'll work-at home for James and he will bring the plow and do a first class job at that. He said ho would," said Lester. Caleb slowly recovered from the fever which was the result of the fire. The boys did not have much time to give to him, but their mothers and sisters aud Miss Wolcott did. There wore walks to repair, a pump to mend a shed to be converted into a hen house, aud the garden to make. Tho schoolboys and Caleb's brothers did the work. James lent his plow and his experi ence to the lads, and there never was a thriftier garden than the one which greeted Caleb's delighted eyes wheu he "came home" from the hospital one Mny morning. And his mother stood in tho door—his mother—her hair neatly combed, a dainty white apron over her pretty dress, and a hint of the roses of long ago in her toil worn cheeks. The next summer Caleb told the boys that he and his brothers were making enough to live upon. "And pay tho rent, too?" said Les ter. "Yes, and pay the rent, too. You can give your mending to help some one else, now."—Advocate. Music Wards Off Fatigue. A Philadelphia contractor, who has recently returned form the Soudan, tells of an interesting fact connected with the building by the English of the new military railroad in that region. With every gang of 40 or 50 men are assigued two harpers and a flute player. Music is furnished al most continuously, and so long as tho musicians play the workmen—nearly all negroes—do not seem to feel tho fatiguo, and their movements are con formed as nearly as possible to the time if the music. As a general thing the players get tired before the work men do. To a white man the melody produced by these cheerers of labor would not be inspiring, for it is peculiarly plaintive. The Africans, howe\er, find the music a great in spi ation, and work with cheefulness and disj a'ch. Tho Philadelphiun declares that the idea is one woll worth considering, for it is well known that colored laborers aud stevedores along the river front will work harder aud faster if permitted to sin-. As a matter of fact, siuging among them is encouraged.— Philadelphia Record. :: FOR WOMAN'S BENEFIT.:: Novel Collar Hucltle. A collar buckle strongly appealing to lovers of novelties is made of gold having the appearance of being cast and relieved by bright cuttings. The design consists of a series of scrolls. The centres contain two large tur quoises. Lace Scarf* for the Hair. Now that lace has been worn or every conceivable garment from ho siery to hats the fashion makers an nounce that an old custom is to be re vived and veils of lace are to be worn with evening dresses. These veils are twisted to fit the head in front, but mast not hide the hair; a deft hand can arrange tho folds so that they will fall in a flimsy cloud to the shoul ders. The lace is said to make a charming background for the wearer's bead. Roia Bonhenr'n Costumes. There is a widespread impression that the late liosa Bonheur was in the habit of wearing men's attire. This is only partially true. She dressed as a man while at work in her studio, be cause this gave her greater freedom of action while working on her can vases, which were often of large size. In pursuit of her studies for horses, her favorite subject, she also found this costume convenient. At home, on the street aud in the usual walks 3f life she wore a plain black dress, without adornmeut of auy sort. When going out she donned a plain black bonnet aud became simply a rather large woman, noticeable only for the strength of her features aud the keen penetration of her dark eyes. She was iond of wearing the ribbon of the Le gion of Honor. When Should Girl* Wear Veils? At what age should a girl begin to ft'ear a veil? There is as much differ snce of opinion on this point, as on that other vital question, "When should a girl put her hair up?" Meu seem as much to regret the donning Df a veil by a girl as they do the put iing up of hair. Whether it is bo 3ause it stamps the wearer as coming to womanly dignities or because it hides something of a pretty face,there is no knowing, but most probably it is for the latter reason. But there are many uses to a veil. It is now aud then recommended for weak eyes; it is excellent as a slight respirator for girls with delicate jliests; it keeps the skin from chap ping in rough weather, and, be it said, itreully does, iu nine cases out of ten, enhance the beanty it half conceals. \ girl may wear a veil when she puts .ip her hair. The one fixes the date for the other. A girl with her hair 3own her back aud weariug a veil looks •other absurd, except iu most excep tional cases. Fabrics* for Winter Dresses. The autumn display of plaids at tracts the usual udmiriug throngs of women who never wear these gay and wintry looking fabrics, although they "consider" them every year and have lieeu doing so for several generations. Duce iu a while a courageous woman ippears in one of the sliaggy Scotch mixtures, but she is the target for Dther women's curious gazes when she ippenrs, just as if the non-wearers of plaid had not been accustomed to be ing introduced to it afre-h every au minn as far back as they can remem ber. The colors of the new plaids are 3ull grays, bronzes and reds, with stripes of deeper or lighter shades of ;he same color, or of yellow, black, ivhite or scarlet. The familiar greens »nd reds, which formed the basis of most winter plaids, are not seen this seasou. Rough, hairy surfaces are eery sraavt aud extremely becoming iu I gown made for a slender figure. The aap on some of these fabrics is three jr four inches long. Silk, velvet aud wool are mingled with rich effect in some of the winter dress goods. Wool goods with fiat spots of grenadine ind cashmeres dotted with silk aud satin faced cloths with velvet dots woven into them are all novelties. These fancy fabrics are to be made up ;ombined with plain faced material, »nd the rough, hairy wool goods are ;o be mated to the smooth, satiny ;loths in the same costume. I>let nfi »n Aid to Ilenuty. A woman who says she has never from any unpleasant experience Known what it was to have a stom ich lives almost entirely on ba nanas. It is a taste inherited, she •ays, from her father, who spent many years in a banana country and learue I ihere to like them and consider them a valuable article of food. Like his daughter, ho never experiences those Sroubles which are the undoing of so many Americans, aud he also credits It to bananas. The first craving of the laughter in the morning is for a ba nana, and wheu she rings the bell the maid knows what is wanted and takes i couple of bananas to her room. These she eats before she completes tier toilet, and goes down to breakfast ;o find two more beside her plate. These, with possibly a cup of prepared soffee, complete her i reikfast.and she thrives on the diet. She has a pretty, soft complexion aud a comfortable plumpness. The only trouble is that iway from home there is sometimes difficulty - in obtaining bananas, and :heu she suffers. This inc. nveuieuce aas made her think of breaking up the habit, but the diet is so simple find so satisfactory that it seems fool ish to do so. Dates are also a staple irticle of food with her. But while this is well suited to her, it is not to other members of the family. While they are not so comfortably unoon [ scions of that important organ, *h« stomach, they are more conscious thuu aver of it if they undertake a banana diet. A doctor says that if bauauas can be eaten, there is nothing which gives more nutriment, but all people cannot eat them without ill effects. First Presidential Wedding* The administration of President Tyler saw four different feminine heads to his house in less than'four years, Mrs. Letitia Christian Tyle-, the first wife of this tenth president, died in the White House Heptember, 1842, and was succeeded by her daughter in-law, Mrs. Robert Tyler, and her daughter, Mrs. William Semple, until June of 1844, when President Tyler marri.d Miss Julia Gardner of New York, a beautiful young girl of 20, who had beon much admired in Wash ington the winter before, and whose father was one of the victims of the explosion of the gun called "The Peacemaker" on the man-of-war Princeton during a pleasure trip of the president and friends down the Potomac. The marriage of a president while in office had never occurred before, and except in the case of ex-President and Mrs. Cleveland, has never oc curred since, and naturally was an event of much importance. The cere mony, which, by reason of the mot n ing of the youthful bride, was very simple, took place in New York city, and was attended by a very small com pany. Young Mrs. Tyler made friends readily, and was for her short season quite as popular as that second White House bride whose destiny it was to return a second time to the scenes of her greatest glory. One of the last acts of President Tyler was to give a farewell ball, Feb ruary 22, 1844, just before his re tirement from office, in honor of his young wife, and many were the atten tions bestowed upon her. This func tion, which was one of the great balls of the day, was the last dance to be given in the east room, and marked the passing of the cavalier, who, from its beginning, had dominated the so cial tide of the nation. Mrs. Tyler opened the ball with the secretary of war, cabinet ministers not disdaining to be dancing men in thoso days. Mrs. Julia Gardner Tyler spent most of her married life in Richmond, but for a number of years after her husband's death lived quietly in Georgetown.—Washiugton Star. Atliletleg for Girl«. The fault in the education of the boy and girl of olden time was lack of exercise in the open air. A "pale cast of thought" marked them apart from the uneducated lad and lass who worked out of doors. The athletic college boy of today is in marked contrast to the typical clerk or s-cholar of Chaucer's time, whom he describes as "not right fat," but "looked hol low." Old women of the present time all remember when it was predicted that a college education would wreck the health of the American woman if she attempted the experiment. At that time the health of the American wom an was in greater danger than it had ever been he'ore, but it was not from too much education -it WUR from too much repression, too litt e life in the fresh open air, too much life in close sewing rooms. The sewing machine was the greatest benefactor of woman after the power loom. After the sew ing machine came woman's work in the house has been lessened a third, and she had time for athletic train ing. The first classes in "gymnas tics" are about identical in time with the advent of the machine. As soon as more intelligent ideas on the sub ject of education began to be preva lent, it was inevitable that a proper place would bi given to the physical training of all young people—g rls and boys alike. It could be easily shown by statistics that there has been great improvement in the health of women since the last generation. The wom an who laced herself, wore thin soled shoes uud considered a consumptive physique indicative of womanly deli cacy, has given place to a nobler type of woman. Theie is need fur physical training for women in every village in the land where it does not exist Girls are generally weakened in health from improper exercise, because they do not know how to keep the laws ol health—because unless there is some incentive to send them out in the open air they still spend too much time in doors. Every encouragement should be given to athletic games for girls, always under proper control, so as tc avoid the danger of excess.—Nev York Tribune. Gleaning* from the Shop*.
