All tones of violet, from deep pansy aud queen's purple to palest pinkish ame thyst, are to be greatly favored in the color alone or united with mignonette, tea rose pink or certain faint .shades of art blue. A novelty that will be very fashiona ble this spring are the new rtinichunda silks. The colorings are quite beyond description. Well nigh impo- -ible com binations of vivid shades are •> blended aa to produce effects rich and intense and yet withal picturesque and artistic. Scrolls of white guipure in renaissance style on black lisse or moti>»eline de soie, with delicately colored Persian em broideries between in pastel tints, with gold or silver in relief, are among the daintiest and most effective of the re vived Louis XVI decorations of the sea son. Kose color introduced in the hat or toque imparts a tinge of color to pale complexions. Worn below the face - that is, on the bodice or, more pronoun' ed still, if the blouse or bodice itself be rottu or red—the effect on natural color ing is to pale it very considerably in ap pearance.

WOMAN AND HOME. THE FIRST WOMAN DOCTOR IN THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES. Tin- Tare of the Feet—Her Future 11 utl*M Kollitt—A Belle of Old Kentucky—The Half Grown Boy. The Harmony ol* Dr. Grace Fairley Robinson, M. 8.. Ch. M., hail the honor of being the first woman in Australia to become a gradu ate of a medical school, taking her degree a< bachelor of medicine and master of surgery of Sydney university with dis tinguished honors. It has been recorded of this enterprising and persistent young woman that she never failed in an exam ination aud was always first among com petitors, being the first of her sex to achieve such a brilliant distinction in her studies through the difficult course of Sydney university. This achievement may not seem diffi cult in America, where women doctors with brilliant records are the rule instead of the exception aud the girl medic is "DR. GRACE." cheered on by her fellows during the course of her studies, but Elizabeth Blackwood had another story to tell, for she, too, was a pioneer in the move ment here. A brilliant musician, a French scholar, a student of mythology and orientalism, with a charming personality, the highly successful "Dr. Gi'ace" suddenly aban doned all studies and employments out side of her medical practice to pore over the pages of a cookery book. It was sup posed that the dietary of her patients was the impulse, but when she became the wife of Dr. I'aul Boelke, government medical official, whose interests are equally and sympathetically her own, the secret was out. When "Dr. Grace" finds her health giv ing way under the stress of her duties iu Australia's metropolis she goes with her husband, "Dr. I'aul," to the rural folk of Port Macquarie, N. S. W\, there to lay up a new foundation of vigorous health and strength. Immediately after her graduation in 1803 Professor Stuart, dean of the med ical faculty, placed Miss Kobinson in charge of the children's hospital and gave her the position of medical officer in charge of the woman's department of tho Sydney Benevolent hospital, an assurance that her new step in the pro gression of women was esteemed and ap proved. A charming personality, which would grace the most refined social life, und rare conversational powers are among the attributes of this fortunate and energetic young Australienne. —Chi- cago Times-Herald. The Care of the Feet. If women would bestow half the caro npon their feet that they do upon their faces and hands, there would be little deal of comfort for the' women.' ftetffGSt their feet are out of sight many women think their care can be neglected and then wonder why a walk of a mile tires and exhausts them. Of course, the feet are not always to blame, but they are very often. Many complaints that women suffer from for years are due to tight shoes and high heels. Proper circulation of the blood is prevented, while headaches, diz ziness, shortness of breath and lameness are often caused through neglecting to care for the feet. Few things cause more torture than the wearing of shoes that are too small. A shoe that will allow every toe to have a place without lying on the top of the next one is the first essential to comfort and the proper care of the feet. Then, at least three times a week or oftener, when possible, the feet should be bathed and rubbed. About once a week the nails should be looked to, and every night before retiring the toes should be stretched out and the feet rubbed for about five minutes. Especially is this to be advocated if the feet are at all cold. When the feet are tired, a salt water footbath is excellent for resting them. For feet that perspire unpleasantly water containing n little borax will be found excellent, and after a thorough dry ing and an alcohol rub the feet should be well powdered with a good boracic acid talcum powder. A little of this«powder should also be sprinkled about the soles of both shoes and stockings. Corns are, fortunately, infirmities which can be removed. If the corn is a new formation, pumice stone rubbed on it or on any other callous flesh, will remove it. If, however, it is of long standing and tender, make a poultice of soft bread and vinegar (let the bread soak in the vine gar for about an hour) and apply it at night to the corn; in the morning soak the foot in good warm water for about ten minutes and the corn will be easy to remove. Change the stockings daily—this does not necessitate that seven pairs of stock ings should be worn each week —and when possible, the shoes as well. Both stockings and shoes will last longer by this change and the feet will be inestima bly benefited.—American Queen. Iler Putiire llUNbnnd'n folks. An engaged girl is often a very foolish girl with regard to her future husband's relatives. She looks at them with cold ness, as people who suppose themselves to have more right in her lover than she herself has. She does not care particu larly about them, perhaps, and thinks them frumpy or overparticular, and she takes little pains to hide that they don't interest her. She seems to expect that he will lose his old closeness of relation with his own people at once and adopt hers in their stead. She is impatient and resentful of any claim they -iake to his time or notice, and thinks she oujfht to have the monopoly. This is not only wrong, it is foolish as well, says the Toronto News. She should rememlx-r that, after all, his own family have the prior right, and that it needs a good deal of unselfishness and self effaccincnt to resign that right without a pang to a strange girl, even if i: is a girl he loves. She should think that to even the most generous of mothers it is a hard thing to part with her son to another woman, and the more she herself loves that sou the more she ought to understand his mother's love aud sympa thize with it. She ought to reflect that upon her at titude now toward her fiance's people much of her future life will rest. She ought to realize what a responsibility she is taking on herself if she does anything to sever the close bond between her hus band and his people.

Her aim should be to win their liking ■ and their confidence, no matter how little congenial she may chance to find them, and it does not always follow that be cause she loves a man she finds his fatn- j ily lovable too. She should make up her ' mind to put up with much, if needs be, j to endure and to be patient and to over- j look. She must realize that from hence- i forth his people are to be her own p'o pie, and that if she is not prepared take the rough with th ' ' in that relation she had better I.i ..':ile ! thing go. A girl who really loves the I man she marries will not need be told j much of what it is right to do in this respect. A Belle of Old Kentucky. "Generous and open handed, high spir ited, frank and courageous, with the beauty of splendid health, a command- j ing figure and a radiant face, Sally Ward j was long acknowledged throughout the j south to be the foremost of its belles with I the grand and dashing manner," writes \ William Ferrine of"The Loveliest of All | Kentucky Girls," in The Ladies' Ilomc j Journal. "It is a Blue Grass legend that once in a riding party, which included j Tom Marshall and Miss Jennie Smith, ( Sally urged her horse quite up the steps j to the second story of the Gait House. | She had a brother, too, who created a j great sensation by shooting dead a teacher for dogging one of the younger Ward boys and was acquitted on the ! ground of self defense. When Sally Ward i traveled in Europe she nttracted atten- j tion In every capital as a regal type of ' American beauty, and in the south there was great delight when it was learned how graciously she had acquitted herself when she was presented at the court of St. James. She was tall, with a finely symmetrical form in her youth, her , hands and feet aristocratically small and her voice rich in the melodious fullness of its tones, while her lily white complex . ion, her profusion of light brown hair and her large, dark blue eyes imparted ' to her not a little of the daszling char acteristics of a blond. She was credited, too, with fine taste in dress, and her silks, laces and jewels would have graced a royal wardrobe. In conversation she ( was ready and fluent." The Half Grown Boy. In the life of every youth there comes a period when he is growing so fast that ' he is awkward, when his clothing bangs loosely on him, and his arms push through his sleeves with such haste that his mother wonders whether a day will ever come when his hands will look in proportion to his size. Patience, mother, and do not emphasize the little difflcul ? ties incidental to rapid growth by your t comments and criticisms. Tell the boy ; when he pleases you that he is your 3 dearly beloved and let him still have his share of the petting he likes. Big boys need mother love and kisses just as little i ones do. But do not exclaim when he r knocks down a chair in his clumsy prog c ress through the room and refrain from j calling attention to any little forgetful i ness of his in company. If you have made him your companion and treated i him as if he were a reasonable being and his sister's equal from babyhood on, you i will not need to be fearful about his ulti e mate coming out just right. He will be i fully grown one of these days and a 112 credit to you, and in the meantime make i home happy for him and devote yourself K- to his real interests with an eye to the i- future. If he likes athletics, so much i the better. A boy whose physical life , is upbuilt by healthful and regular cxer b cise will usually make a finer man, men e tally and spiritually, than will one who - is timid and shrinking aud who recoils from hearty outdoor sports.—Christian Herald. The Flarmony of Dre»« Though few of us are so refined as to find the same entertainment in a "color concert" as In the ordinary sort in which its harmony, which is called its contrast, as well as other harmonizing colors. Two dissimilar colors which associate agreeably, as blue and orange, or liluc and cherry, or even very light and very dark blue, form a harmony of contrast. Two colors of similar disposition when grouped, such as orange and scarlet, crimson and crimson brown, or orange and orange browu, form u harmony of analogy. A3 a rule harmonies of contrast are most effective, being brilliant and decis ive, while haanonies of analogy are quiet. These two simple rules will decide you: 1. When a color Is selected that is favor able to the complexion, it is best to asso ciate with it tints which will harmonize by analogy, since a contrast would di minish the favorable effect. 2. \\ hen a color is employed which is injurious to the complexion, contrasting colors must be associated with it, as they will neu tralize the objectionable Influence. Take a green that suits a blond; shades a bit lighter and darker of the same green will enhance the effect; that's the first rule, Rule No. 2 may be proved by the violet, which is unbecoming to a brunette, but which becomes agreeable if yellow or orange is added. Colors which harmonke by analogy re duce each other's brilliancy.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Qneen Victoria's Conrtesy. One of the great sources of the queen's power was the extreme attention she gave to detail. This extended to every thing which came under her personal notice. The story of her writing her name in the dust on a piece of furniture while making a tour of Windsor castle, and underneath it also the name of the housemaid who was responsible for the neglect, I have never heard confirmed, but many little stories attest her farsee lug supervision in everything. She never considered the smallest courtesy beneath her dignity. Mme. M., lady in wait ing to the Duchess of Connaught, is responsible for this little anecdote illus trating this; At the time of the chris tening of little Prince Edward, the eld est son of the Duke of York, through some mistake Mine. M.'s invitation was forgotten. She did not go the cere mony, but seeing the queen soon after, her majesty asked why she had not been present, Inquired into all the particulars and made many excuses. Just theu the duchess came up. "It's such a pity about Mine. M.'s invitation," said her majesty, "but there's no need for you to say anything. I've apologized."—Har per's Bazar. HORSE TALK.

Home Eugllub Legal Deelnlona aa to What Const It ate the Jfeceaaarlea of Life —They Widely Differ Froui Duke to Ordinary Mortal. Recent bankruptcy cases In London have brought up various legal decisions \. hich have been reached in England on the subject of what are necessaries of life for men of various stations and degiees who are not iu command of their own incomes. | A duke, for instance, or even a mar- QUIB or an earl Is entitled by law to one bottle of champagne a day if his trustees hold the money to pay for it. In the case of the former Duke of Man chaster the law decided that seven bot tles of champagne a week are neces sary to a duke whose affairs may be in the hands of trustees and that if he I had not the control of his own income he must be allowed to have a carriage j with one horse, a riding horse as well, one manservant and a house with a rent of not less than £250 a year; oth erwise he must be allowed to have the use of £2,000 a year, while the rest might be allowed to accumulate for the good of the estate till the trustee pe riod expired. A viscount or a baron Is allowed by law to describe as necessaries things which smaller fry might struggle along without But a viscount's income provided there is anybody to pay it—is , fixed at £1,500 a year and a baron's at ! £I,OOO. He is, supposing any guard ians have a few thousands a year to pay out to him according to discretion, j only entitled to claret as a beverage. I for his yearly wine allowance only runs ■ to £OO, which would not keep him in I champagne unless he drank it very sel j dom. The duke's wine bill may mn i to £l5O. The viscount must have a carriage, but it may be attached for debt, and he cannot force his guardians to give him a horse. Of course, If he has no guardians, nor any income, either, he must do as other people and go with out, but these tilings are considered necessary to peera. A manservant is allowed to a viscount or baron, but the house rent need not exceed £2OO, nor can it be less than £l5O. A doctor 1b better off than a viscount In one way—his carriage cannot be seized in most cases, nor can the ex penses of it be reckoned in his income tax returns. In selling up a doctor for debt he may retain one horse, and two of his carpets are considered as neces saries to ids business —In the hnll and consulting room—and reckoned at £2O apiece. lie may have surgical instru ments and medical appliances to the value of £I,OOO, aud these cannot be seized. An ordinary man can retain nothing but his clothes, his hairbrushes and a few stern necessaries of that kind. No wine is allowed to a doctor, but if a student in the hands of trustees, he can demand a couple of servants and a house rent of £<so per year. The son of a well to do merchant or tradesman making about £I.OOO a year can demand neither wine nor horses nor servants, but the law may allow him a rent of £SO and another £l5O or £2OO to keep himself on. supposing he Is in the hands of guardians, whether under or over age. As to debt, he can be sold up, i>ar his personal necessaries and his clothes, though he is not gen erally allowed to keep more than six If he has more a Judge might allow them to be taken with the other chat tels, and he can be left without a chair to nit on or a spoon to eat with. Jewel ry, If he has any, can be taken; but if he has, say, two pairs of valuable sleeve links he can keep only one of them. In the same way he may keep a dress suit, but If be has two an order may bo made to sell up one of them. A lawyer can have 800 books on legal subjects or In some way pertaining to law, and these have to be left alone by the brokers. There are extreme cases in which everything, even necessaries, may be taken, but the lawyer may also demand exemption even in such cases for his wigs, or at least two of them, and two gowns. As a student in the hands of guardians he can make them pay him £BO a year for chambers, and they must pay his examination and other fees. A clergyman or minister of any kind Is worst off of all and can keep very little for himself. lie can make his guardians come down with the fees his profession needs, however, and If he lives In the country as a curate and has Borne trustees and also a guardian be can mako them supply him with a gardener.

"I'l emit mi t'i congratulate you," saiil j u teiiaiii lawyer noted for liis success iu | bankruptcy pioci'idings as well as furl the big fees he charged, addressing one j c of his clients, a short, stout muii with t curly black hair. j e "What for?" inquired the anxious cli- v ent. j "Because your petition for your dis- i charge as n bankrupt has been approved 1 by the court and all of your debts have p been wiped out —that is, all except one," ( replied the lawyer. - "What one remains?" eagerly asked the client. "The only debt that remains, the only 1 one that you can still be compelled to i pay, is the remainder of my fee for hav- j ing you made a bankrupt. It's only a tritle of ijCiOO," said the lawyer, with a * smile. "You know that your discharge ' as a bankrupt only relieved you of those i debts which were included in your sched- t ule of liabilities." ( "Have the discharge papers been sdgn ed and am I really a poor, unfortunate, j disgraced bankrupt?" asked the client as | 1 he caressed his nose with his right hand, i "Vmi are a bankrupt," responded the lawyer, "and cannot be compelled to pay , any of the debts except my little fee." "And I must pay another SSOO to you for having me made a miserable bank- ! rupt?" inquired the stout man, with some show of emotion. "That's about the way the case now stands," impatiently replied the lawyer. "You may recollect," remarked the new bankrupt, "that I asked you to leave a little room on the end of the paper on i which you wrote the name of my credit ors, so that 1 could add to the list any others that I might happen to think of." "Yes, yes, 1 remember that incident," retorted the lawyer, "but it is too late to make any Additions to that list now." "I don't want to change it. Every one of my creditors will find his name and the exact amount of his claim on that list. Every one is there." "Then pay me my SSOO and let us close this transaction," exclaimed the weary lawyer. "We will," remarked the bankrupt as he slipped on the little finger of his fat i hand a diamond ring, "but let me explain | myself. After you filed the list of my! i creditors with tlie other law papers 1 j i went back to ti. • court and just added I your name to the s !n <1 ule of my debts. : I If you will look at the list, you will find I that the court h is discharged me from ' my £r*liO indebtedness to you, lawyer J j Highprice." 11l f->re the lawyer had recovered from i the shook the i.-v 1 y discharged bankrupt , pulled from en:- of his pockets a huge dia- ; niond horseshoe pin, fastened it in his | neck ecarf and left the lawyer's otlice.— ; New York Sun. . . j THE TURF RECORD.

The first experimental oyster farm In the United States lias proved so suc cessful that two permanent farms are being constructed at I Mas Creek, about eight miles north of Cape May, N. J., which takes up about two miles of the Delaware bay shore of Cape May coun ty, one by ex-Senator Maurice A. Itod gers of Camden county, N. J., and the other by William Schellenburg of the game place, says the New York Times. Both are prominent oyster dealers in Philadelphia, who own beds around Maurice Kiver Cove on the Delaware. For years the planters have sustain ed heavy losses by reason of the ice, which forms on tiie beds in the winter and then floats off with high tides, car rying the plants and dropping them iu deeper water, where they cannot be taken. Many smaller dealers, by rea son of this, have had togo out tif busi ness. Senator Itodgers lias been seeking a plan for some time to overcome this and about a year ago at Dias Creek leased a few acres along the l>ay front and tried an experiment, which gave such good results that he has now se cured two miles of the shore and over 150 acres of ground. Mr. Schellenburg has secured a large shore frontage and 190 acres of ground. The farms are connected In this fash ion: Three ponds of considerable depth are dug, each about 175 feet from low water mark, and connected by sluices lined with wood. Each pond is also connected with the waters of Delaware bay, so that the tides can be allowed to rise and fall In them, or they can be flooded or drained at will. Along the shore, extending ont into the bay a dis tance of half a mile, are sand flats, I which the tide leaves entirely bare at j low water. On these lints are spread oyster shells, to which the spawn ad- I heres. When the young bivalve is I large enough. It is removed into these ! ponds and there grows for a year, the 4 ce seldom forming on them, and when It does it cannot move them off. And 1 this is the point which had to l>e made. | When the oysters are almost ready for market they are taken to deeper water beds for final growth. Mr. Rodgers says his last year's experiment has proved the wisdom of his idea. TEACHING A YOUNG LARK, j How It* Mother Conches It to Hop About anil Fly. i J. M. Barrie, the noted Scottish story ! writer, In Scribner's Magazine told I how a young lark got its first lesson, i A baby lark had got out of its nest 1 sideways, a fall of a foot only, but a j dreadful drop for a baby. | "You can get back this way," its mother said, and showed it the way. But when the baby tried to leap it fell jon its back. Then the mother marked out lines on the ground on which it i was to practice hopping, and it got j ulong beautifully so long as the mother ; was there every moment to say, "How j wonderfully you hop!" 1 "Now teach me to hop up." said the little lark, meaning that it wanted to 1 fly, and the mother tried to do it in L vain. She could soar up, up, very bravely, but she could not explain how 6he did it. "Wait till the sun comes out after r the rain," she said, half remembering. j "What is sun? What is rain?" the 3 j little bird asked. "If you cannot teach - | me to fly, teach me to sing." i I -vvnen tne suu i-uuics uui after rain." i the mother replied, "then you will . know how to sing." I The rain came and glued the little ! bird's wings together. "I shall never be able to fly or sing," it wailed. Then of a sudden it began to blink ~ its eyes, for a glorious light had spread * over the world, catching every leaf r and twig and blade of grass In tears 3 and putting a smile in every tear. The | baby bird's breast swelled, it did not s know why; it fluttered s from the ground, it did not know why. "The suu has come out after the rain!" it trilled. "Thank you. suu! Thank you! Thank you! Oh, mother, I did you hear me? I can sing." Then it floated up, up, calling, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" , to the sun. "Oh, mother, do you ' see me? 1 am flying!" l liiii ill ISIIIJIL We want to do all Ms of Printing ?| | II I ■ | ll'S ML ! II 111 KB. ll'S Mat.
