CHILD'S WILL POWER.
Remarkable ManifcHtatlon in a Tliree-
Year-OUI YouiigMter.
Baby ltac had always beeu very nerv
ous, so nervous that on several occa
sions, while he was getting his teeth,
he frightened his parents by going into
convulsions, and frequently when cry
ing lost his breath so far as to lose con
sciousness altogether. Consequently
we were obliged to humor him more or
less to prevent his crying.
At a very early age he found hi a
thumb, and until the day of which [
write his chief comfort lay in sucking
that unoffending member, lie could
not go to sleep at night without having
his thumb in his mouth. As he grew
older we tried to break him of the
habit, but it made him so very un
happy that we could not bear to insist.
By tlie age of three Rae had lost all
signs of spasms. lie had always been
"mother's darling," although he was
my fifth boy. At the time I write of
the arrival of a wee sister had awakened
some sense of jealousy, and also, 1 sup
pose, made him feel an increase of dig
nity, as he was no longer the baby of
the family.
One morning the "big carpenter"
f was in the nursery repairing the hinge
of a shutter. Rae stood with a hand
kerchief carefully wrapped around his
second finger, sucking his thumb as
usual, and looking with wistful eyes
at the tempting display of hammer,
awl and screwdriver that lay on a cloth
near t.lie window. For a moment the
thumb was token from his mouth, and
the baby boy said very distinctly, as
he always spoke: "1 want to be a car
penter," and instantly the thumb was
replaced in its accustomed receptacle.
"Carpenters don't suck their thumbs,"
remarked the big man.
For a moment Rae looked at him,
then he slowly put bis two little hands
behind his back and held them tight.
His grandmother noticed the action,
and, taking advantage of the occasion,
promised to give Rae a tool chest all
his own if lie would neve- suck his
thumb again. The child was very quiet
and thoughtful all day. Occasionally
he would jerk his thumb out of his
mouth and hold his right bond tight
with his left* as if determined not to
forget again that he was to be a car
f pouter. At bed time he carefully put
his hands under his pillow. He was
very restless; lie could not go to sleep;
lio was fretful, too, ai d his nun*e sat
near his crib singing to him. Presently
a little hand came between the bars,
and a baby voice said: "You hold it,
Eliza; I can't remember." It was mid
night before he went to sleep that night
and the next; but he never put his
thumb into his mouth again. He
earned his little chest of tools if ever
a reward was won, and a liappier little
boy was never seen.
Bae is eight years old now, a fine,
manly boy, alwuvs most thoughtful of
others. He is full of life and spirits.
His nervousness has almost entirely
disappeared, lie often shows the same
earnestness of purpose that he dis
played so young. We leel strongly the
responsibility of leading this remark
able will in the right direction.—A
Mother, in Babyhood.

ready made, if possible, as they are n
little troublesome to cut out and fix
satisfactorily. If, however, you are
nqt üble to find just the right thing
get a large sheet of strong drawing
paper and trace the shape of the shade
upon it in pencil, afterward cutting it
out carefully; you will then only'liave
to fasten the sides together with a few
stitches, thus forming the frame; then
cover them plainly and neatly with the
satin. The chiffon will not be difficult
to arrange if it is gathered on with a
tiny beading upon the outside of the
Vandykes. The ribbon is arranged as
shown in the sketch, and the effect of
the shades and center when placed upon
the table with appropriate floral deco
rations Is most charming and artistic.

the coloring, but of course the designs
can be carried out in several shades;
pink and ivory, or two shades of yellow

A PRINCESS ABBESS.
Illgb Eccletthtßtical OllUe lleld by an Aus
trian Archduchess.
There are in Austria five religious
foundations for ladies of the nobility,
situated in Vienna, Prague, Hrunn,
Innsbruck and Graz. These establish
ments are for ihe purpose of providing
a place, suitable t-o their rank, for ladies
without property, but members of
noble families which have done dis
tinguished service to the imperial fain
ily or the state. The Vienna institu
tion was founded in 17G9 by Duchess
Theresia, of Savoy; that in Hrunn by
Emperor Leopold 11. in 1792, and those
in Prague and Innsbruck in 1755 and
1705 respectively by Empress Maria
Theresia. The ladies who are received
in the Prague, Vienna and Innsbruck
foundations must be able to show 10
those in Hrunn five and those in Graz
four quarterings, respectively, on their
arms. The institution in Prague is of
the highest rank. As its abbesses, ac
cording to its statutes, only princesses
of the imperial family arc appointed,
the abbess has the right to the title of
"royal highness," even if, by exception,
she who holds the office is only of noble,
not royal, blood. She has also the right
to crown the queen of Hohemia; and she
is installed by an archduke, as-repre
sentative of the emperor, with a solemn
court ceremonial. -
The abbesses are not pledged to Un
church and arc therefore free to marry,
and it is t he custom for them goncruliy
after a short term of office to do so.
Maria heresi, a daughter of the victor
of As pern, married Ferdinand 11., king
of Sicily; Maria Christine, at the time
queen regent of Spain, married King
Alphonso XII.; Margaret Sophia, a sis-

As her successor. Emperor Francis
Joseph has appointed Archduchess
Maria Annunciate, the second daughter
of his brother, Archduke Karl J.udwig,
born in 1870 of his third wife, Arch
duchess Maria Theresia, princess of
Brnganza.
On October 19 last the archduchess
was installed with solemn ceremonial
of the usual kind. The emperor was
represented by her father, Archduke
Karl Ludwig, who officiated, assisted
by Count Thun and Count Boncquci, as
court commissioners of the viceroy of
Bohemia. The exercises were elaborate
and impressive, and in them partici
pated many of the. highest in the Bo
hemian nobility, of the court, the army,
the government and the clergy.
A Collection of Dress Don't*.
Don't wear your slices too short.
Don't wear a veil in the evening.
Don't let the skirt of your street dress
touch the ground.
Don't forget that people who do not
know you judge you by your appear
ance.
Don't forget that a line of white at
the throat lends a dainty air to tho
plainest costume.
Don't wear diamond earrings in the
morning. Much jewelry at any time
is hardly good taste.
Don't let your waist and skirt part
company in the back; hooks on one and
eyes on the other keep them united.—

The Way to Drink Milk.
Many complain that they cannot
drink milk without its disagreeing with
them. The most common reason why
milk is not readily digested is that it,
is taken too rapidly and it enters the
stomach and becomes one solid mass
difficult of digestion, if it is sipped it
is so divided on reaching the stomach
that when coagulated, as it must be by
the gastric juice while digestion is go
ing on, instead of being in one hard
mass it is more in the form of a sponge
and in and out of the entire bulk the
gastric juice can perform its duties.
Device to llcmove Wrinkles,
The loug-BOtight-for device to remove
wrinkles has at last been invented by
a Philadelphia woman, who has se
cured a patent upon her clever inven
tion. The arrnngement consists of two
bowed arms of watch-spring steel, end
ing in chamois pads. The arms fit
around the back of the head, drawing
the flesh hack until it is smooth. When
worn during the u'ight it is claimed
that the device is very effectual.
A WEDDING TOMBSTONE.
BY CLARICE I. CLINGIIAN.

most abject ignorance and immediately
drew up to the lire. This was partly to !
gain information and partly because,!
although the fireplace was wide and j
deep-throated and big logs were blazing ,
in it, there were biting draughts ot
stinging air coming in at the loosely-fit' ,
ting door. For grandmother would not j
be persuaded to leave the home that had |
been hers for 50 years, and which now ,
showed some signs of decay. She sat j
knitting vigorously by the firelight, |
for, although she had all the modern ;
conveniences of heating and lighting, j
her big fireplace east its ruddy glow j
out into the room through all the long i
winter evenings. I was an angular
schoolgirl of 15 then, with a great love
of the romantic, and was on a four ;
weeks' visit at the old homestead. Jt
seemed never to occur to grandma that, •
having been raised in a different part of j
the country, the happenings at liagged |
Corner (where she lived) would nut- j
urally be unknown to me. She always i
expressed fresh surprise at my ig-;
norance on these subjects. After knit
ting u few minutes in silence, she be
gan:
"You've seen the old stone house down
on the bank of the river, all shut in with
pines and evergreens? It's nigh a bun
• dred years old. When I was born it had
been built ten years. When I was a
young married woman the Harbours
came to live there, and they were proud,
higli-feelin' people that nobody could
get acquainted with. That's what made
'em take it so dretful hard when—but
here 1 am, way head of my story. You
see, Mr. Harbour embezzled or did some
thing of that kind, and went to prison.
"Then his wife and little boy shut
themselves up in the stone house and
never went outside the gate hardly.
She's had a good deal of school in', liis
mother had, and she taught him her
self as long as she could, and then he
bought books and studied by himself.
He tried going to school when he was a
small boy, but one of the scholars
threw it at him about his father, and
Mortimer nearly killed him, and after
that his mother kep' him home. And she
was such a proud woman, was Mis' Har
bour, and lofty and severe in her ways.
She wouldn't let nobody sympathize
with her, which everybody wanted to,
avS there's so little going on in a place
like Ragged Corner. Mis' Harbour was
real selfish with her grief, so she got her
self disliked, besides folks bein' sus
picious after the way her husband
turned out. What did they live on?
Oh, the boy farmed it, and later they do
say lie wrote books on what they called
natural history, though to my mind it
was the most unnatural stuff I ever
heard tell of —all about beetles and bugs
with 300 muscles in their heads, and as
could carry 1,200 times their own weight
on their own backs, which everybody
knows he must have got up as lie went
along. They were dretfully taken up
with each other, lie and his mother,
und she believed everything lie said was
so, even about the bugs aud beetles.
Hut she was his own born mother, and
that explains it.
"When she died, Mortimer liked to
went crazy. 110 planted her grave with
vi'lets and pansies, and at the head was
a white marble monument lie had gone
to the city for—nothing nearer would
suit him. Hut he didn'tdisplay no taste.
Nothing on it, my dear, but the old
lady's name and the date she died—not

an ungel, nor u cherub, or u lainb, or u
broken rosebud, nor a bit of verse. And
yet he always seemed to set store by
her.
"Now, he was the. last man in the vil
lage I'd ever said would got married
Ilut as sure us you set there, when the
little milliner, Mclinda McAllister,
came into the place he was struck.
That wasn't nothing strange—all the
young fellows was—but, mind you, sho
was struck, too. No, you wouldn't 'a'
thought it. Everybody warned her,
aud told her about his father's hangin'
himself in prison, and how queer his
mother was, and that Mortimer was as
odd as Dick's hat band and wouldn't
conic to no good. She listened, with her
eyes big and cool and a little hot patch
of red 011 her cheeks likenduubof paint,
but she never said a word. That was
Melindy McAllister all over, never to
say a blessed word, but go and do just
as she saw fit. First we knew they was
engaged, and it was given out in meet
ing. Next day her aunt she lived with
came in to see me and wrung her hands,
say in' she wouldn't be surprised if Me
lindy was murdered before the year
was out. What can you think of a man
who lives like n hermit and had a
crooked father and a peculiar mother?
"But we wasn't prepared for the
worst. A (lay or two before the wed
ding in comes old Mis' Johnson and
says: 'Shut up the doors tight,' says
she, 'and the winders. I've got some
thing to tell you that'll make your hair
rise up,' she says, whisperin'-like. So
I shut the door, she a-workin' her hands
together like one possessed. 'lt's about
Melindy,' she went on. 'He's been and
got a tombstone for her.' 'Who?'asked
I, as if I didn't know, but my knees
knocked together and I felt a bit sick.
'Mortimer Harbour,' says she. 'My
grandson, Johnnie, was after a bird's
nest in a tree over in his yard. The limb
broke, and down lie went right onto the
roof of the old cornhouse, that hasn't
been used for years. It went in under
him like tinder, and as"soon as he could
pick himself up and found 110 bones
broke, what should he see but a new
white gravestone a-settin' up quite pert
in a corner against some rubbish. lie
went up to it, and he says as true as the
Bible he saw "Melinda Harbour" cut < :i
it, and the date she is a-goin' to die.' '1
don't believe it.,' says 1, but I was all
a-falnt, and had to go and make us each
a cup of tea, so we could bear up un
der it.
"As soon as I said I didn't believe it
Mis' Johnson said we'd go ourselves
and see. And we did go, Mortimer be
in* away in the fields, and got into the
cornhouse. It was towards dark, and
we shook with the cold, though it was
u warm day in Juue. We'd brought a
bit of candle with us, and Mis' Johnson

lit it, anil then we saw—land sakes,
oili 10, how scairt you look; don't get so
near the fire, lioney, you'll be all ablaze.
Where was 1? Oh, we saw the stone,
just as Johnnie said, a real gravestone
of white marble, and on it the name
'Melindy Barbour,' with the date 'Sept.
5, 18 —below it. But the rest we
couldn't make out. 'lie's going to let
her live three months, may Heaven for
give him,' says old Mi:;' Johnson,
meuniu' different from what she said.
"The next day 1 went to Mel indy, and
told her the whole truth. And would
you believe it, she said she thought
Mis' Johnson and I had no business
prying about other people's affairs?
'lf he had bought me a thousand grave
stones I'd have him just the same,'says
she. So they were married the next
day *in the meeting house, but Mel indy
was white as a ghost, and she trem
bled so she could hardly walk. They
went right away on the cars, and wo
threw some old shoes after 'em, but all
the wishin' of joy was make believe,
and I never saw a bride with such a
white, set face, never looking at her
husband nor yet at us.
"They was away nearly three months;
then they came back to the old house.
But folks said they wasn't happy, that
she was as cold as a stone, and he was
always at his books aud old insects.
One day I got a letter aslcin' me to come
and sec her. She was lyin' down on a
lounge when I got there, white and so
thin, with big eyes with a sorry, hungry
look in 'em. But she had on a smart
gown, and was as pretty as a pictur.
As soon as we'd shaken hands and I'd
taken off my bonnet and mantilla, she
says: 'Do you know what day to-mor
row is?' Then 1 thought it up,and said
it was the sth of September. 'The day
T am to die,' she says in a soft, quiet
way. Then I up and asked her if Mor
timer had been ill-treat in' her. but she
put up her linger, and said: 'Not a
word to my husband; lie doesn't know
I kuow it.* Then she said he was aw
ful good to her, but she couldn't get
that gravestone out of her head day or
night. All at once it came to me how
matters was; she'd been too proud to
give him up, besides her likin' him, too;
and she'd been too proud to tell him
about it; and so betwixt the two the
poor child was almost out. She
asked if I would go out to the corn house
with her to see the stone. She wanted
to sec it and was afraid to go alone.
"Then a queer thing happened. Mor
timer had come into the next room
while she'd been talkin', and heard
every word. I never saw anybody
so stirred up as he was when he came
in. 'ls that tombstone what has stood
between us?' he said, and went on to
explain that he had ordered it for his
mother, lie was such a bad writer that
the stone-cutter mistook the name Mai
viny for Melindy, and after the stone
was hul f done it was found out, and they
made him pay for it. So, as it was his,
they brought it to him, and not know
in* what to do with it, he'd just set It up
in the cornhouse and forgot all about
it. Melindy, she began to cry, and then
they fell to liuggin' and ldssin' each
other, as if they hadn't met for
years, I tried to put in a word to
tn'm 'cm, but they saw me without see
ing me, and heard me without hearing
me, so I put 011 my bonnet and mantilla
and came away and left'em.
"After that? Dear me, they was the
happiest couple you ever saw. They
used the gravestone for a front door
step, wrong side up, and it was real
pretty. Melindy was dretful proud of
him, and believed every word he wrote
about them bugs and beetles, just as his
mother did, which only goes to show
that the old any in' is true, that love is
blind."—Boston Black Cut.
SPRING MILLINERY.
New Ideas In Huts ami llonnets Are Al
ready Appearing.
.Spring millinery is always a topic
of absorbing interest, and the first ad
vanced models are to he seen. These
indicate 110 lessening in the frills, fuss
and frivolity which have been charac
teristics of the stylish headgear lately,
though it is possible that as the season
grows older this tendency may be
modified. \ ast quantities of llowers,
particularly wild llowers, will be used,
and the omnipresent aigrette will lose
nothing of its present charm. The
models now shown are all elaborate,
more or less, and large, coming well
over the face. This importation has a
high crown of butter-colored cloth and
a brim o.t white tulle rufiles, standing
erect and edged with black lace. At
the bn r ;f the crov a is a band of
I ' t, : iid • side is finished
with a 1): ; k ostri' h tip, a large
aigrette of black and white, and a
white tulle rosette.
Under the biim is a perfect wilder
ness of llowers—violets, pink roses,
holly ami gardenia.
A sailor hat of heliotrope straw has
a medium high crown, with a wreath
of pink mses about the brim, covered
with heliotrope tulle. On each side,
but more toward'the back than the
front, is a bunch of violets and leaves. !
while across the hack is a big Alsatia-. j
bow of heliotrope taffeta ribb n, I
caught with brilliant buckles. Under
the brim are a couple oT bunches of
pink roses. The combination is rather
daring, but shows the tendency of the
hour to what might he called exceed
ing liberality in color. Another bit ol
similar daring is n little toque of vio
lets with dark red and yellow roses
sunk In the violets, and pink and red
roses on one side, a high violet aigrette
finishing the effect with a crowning
touch of impudent defiance of color

PRETTY RIBBON WORK.
Much Easier Than Embroidery Hut Ouite
as rieasing 111 Effect.
Ribbons woven in and out in basket
work fashion furnish a resource for
those who are tired of embrridery and
want quicker and easier employment
for idle fingers They are thus used for
pincushions, handkerchiefs and night
robe sachets, and foi sofa-cushions. In
the latter ease the ribbons must be se
curely tacked down or they will be
quickly rumpled and drawn out of
place.
"After cutting a lining of silk," says
an adept, "the shape and size you de
sire, you must tack alternate rows of
different colored satin ribbons as close
together as possible, beginning at the
top of the lining, and cutting the rib
bon off into lengths as you finish each
row. Then beghi to weave the two
colored ribbons in and out. over the
dark and under the light ore way, re
versing the order in the next row, so
that squares are formed." The hand
kerchief sachet illustrated here is made
of pale blue satin ribbon and silver
braid of the same width. The corners
must he hound with ribbon, and a frill
of lace and some bows complete the
pretty trifle.— N. Y. Tribune.
Ti© I.ay of a Hachclor.
A bachelor old and cranky was sit
ting alone in his room. His toes with
the gout were aching, and his face was
o'erspread with gloom. No little one's
shouts to disturb him—from noises the
house was free. In fact, from cellar
to attic 'twas as still as still could be.
So medical aid was lucking. His serv
ants answered his ring, respectully
heard his orders and supplied him with
everything. Hut still there was some
thing wanting which he could not com
mand—the kindly words of compassion,
the touch of a gentle hand. And he said,
as his brew grew darker and he rang
for .a hireling nurse: "Well, marriage
may be a failure, but this is a jolly sight
worse."—London Standard.
