THE LADY CURATE. 0 The lady curate is new, but we like her. She originates in Chicago, along with the other booms, and the people are fond of her, so is the pastor, and j strangers find her delightful. Her du' ties are to assist the pastor by visiting the poor of the parish and calling his attention to those requiring his presence t or assistance, to ascertain where charity funds can best be bestowed, to call on the ladies of the congregation and intro- | duce them to the clergyman, to look after all kinds of parish charities, and to see to it that strangers are welcomed in r the church, well seated, hassocked and booked.

Nowadays the weara ing of false hair i3 barely tolerated, and r women with but little of their own hair a arrange what they have to the best acilf vantage. Of course a blonde can give the effect of having a great deal, ber cause she can make it fluffy on pins. If she is wise she will not use a cnmpingl" iron; instead she will put it up on pins, pinching it with a hot iron, being care ~ lui, However, to nave ussue paper uctween the irou and the hair itself. This ? is very easily done, and every woman knows how disagreeable it- is to sleep in crimping pins, especially when placed . on the back of the head.?St. Louis Rejr "public. ar . SOME FEMININE SECRETS. La Barronne Staafe in her ''Cabinet 14 de Toilette" says: 2ts A woman badly dressed is only half a woman. Blondes who, as a rule, affect pale blue are wrong in their generation, since the light shades give an ashen color w to their complexion. Dark blue and green are, on the other hand, very becoming, likewise certain shades of crimson* Yellow, worn by candlelight, though not during the day, is particularly softening * to brunettes, and those of a pale olive rnlnr should he careful in their choice of ieds. A stout woman should avoid short basques and any eccentricities of dress; should -wear few jewels, no necklaces, * only indispensable rings, eschew any but ! high coiffures, and never wear tight gloves. ? To those who wish to remain young I ? say, wish it, and it and you will remain ? so. It is a case of to be or not to be. A e. weary manner, a sulky glance are the t forerunners of winter, a smiling woman with an expression of repose always appears younger than her age. I FLORAL BEDROOMS. | Floral bedrooms have been an English craze and have recently been adopted in this country. The Decorator and Furnisher gives the following suggestions in regard to them: The best decorative houses and wall paper stores keep paper ' and cretonne en suite, and toilet ware can also be had to match. A yellow poppy paper on a satin ground, with a cretonne aauo to narmonize, mases a pretty arrangement. The cretonne dado should be run around the room in order to make a break in the wall. All the paint should be cream. The curtains ? and bedspread should be of cretonne. ) The ceiling paper should be yellow and white. All the furniture should be covW j ered with the cretonne, and a pale blue P "lily" carpet makes an appropriate finish to the decoration. Another bedroom ft might have a wild-rose paper, with the wild-rose cretonne, and a dull green P 'lily" carpet. There are beautiful rose ? papers with cretonne to match in yeli.i lows, pinks and reds. A yellow and ? white ceiling paper goes with either of ~ the above schemes. Other schemes are I blue and white poppies, sweet peas and forgetmenots, in all of which cares ere J tonnes, paper, carpet and chinaware may | be obtained. To make the rooms com plete,small embroidered flowers in washa ing silks should be in the corner of all ^ | sheets, pillotv cases, towels and toilet !?j covers.?B-jstou Transcript.

Souvenir scarf pins have hit the popular fancy. Black Japanese crape fans are used for mourning. Toques of euioroidered cloth are now fashionable. Oxford ties of black calf are worn with house dresses. Velvets in rosewood shades and nas' 1 1 / *-11 4^ turtium CltltS are lmporieu iur iau luaimings. Roman cardinal combined with black forms a becoming house robe for a brunette. Models from court modistes have elegant Turkish, Servian and pompadour borderings. A circular brooch made of twisted bands of small diamonds and olivines is a pretty trifle. The trident is a new form for a lady's gold hat pin. The prongs are luxuriously set with diamonds. A liberal share of favor is accorded twisted wire bracelets with knotted centres beautified by diamonds. The Scarborough hat is of Modore straw, enhanced with lace, black velvet ribbon and double marguerites. Gray still remains one of the popular colors of the season, and is made into both plain and- elaborate toilets. A pretty jewel in a scarf-pin is a woman's bust with arms thrown up be | bind ner neaa, cut 01 moonsiuue. Borgeon and pinetti are two new shades in yellowish green, but borgeon has much more of greeo than pinetti. Pale cloth costumes are enriched with Eastern embroideries or bands of feathers arranged to simulate Persian handiwork. Odd trifles for the dressing chamber include a silver elephant's head with uplifted trunk, whose mouth does duty as a | catch all. Match safes offer in their make unusual j opportunities for quaintness. A market I basket in oxidized silver serves as an illustration. English suitings for traveling dresses I and morning wear repeat the small, broken checks and irregular stripes of i last winter. Pond lily is the latest tint in creamwhite, felt, cloth and cashmere, and the new reds are called Sultane, Vero nese, Mephisto aud Salvia. Henri II. paniers, which are used upon the latest French gowns, consist of a series of jeweled straps, laid over a satin pull and turned at the waist. L Flower curtains are used for bridal j pairs to stand before while receiving con- j gratulations. They are of some dull, j neutral tint, upon wnicn no were are thickly strewn. An exquisite evening dress of black gauze, with green dots, has its skirt jauntily festooned with green hop blossoms, and the same decoration is used upon the bodice. Grecian evening gowns are fashioned of pale yellow nun's cloth, elegant openwork embroidery of cut velvet in gold j bronze tones with touches of lilac being used as garniture. Three-quartered coats of auburn brown camel's hair are richly combined with royal gray armure, striped with velvet. Waistcoats, embroidered with running vines, in silk, are worn under them. Silk velvet is the preferred fabric for | all the new pretty fancy jackets and | theatre coats, but there are also very dressy and becoming models in silk cord-trimmed cloth lined with silk. A party dress of pale green veloutinc is cut in umbrella form, to give the new gored skirt its popular name. It is embroidered about the bottom with wreaths of laurel leaves and rose3, spangled jusl enough to light up the tracery. Velvet bodices are much used with chevron striped wool skirts. They are made as a short French coat with boxplaited back and open over a smooth vest. The edges are usually corded either with a heavy cord or with some rough goods, and often with Persian lamb. Plain skirts are invariably accompanicd by a jacket or coat bodice. The newest are either of the short Eton jacket type or are very long coats reaching almost to the kness. As a rule they are verj widely opened in front, sh owing a considewble expanse of shirt front as well as tight fitting waistcoat. A dress that proclaims Parisian birth in every fold of the rich silver brocade | run with pale pink stripes has for its : decoration a silver passementerie closely set with pearls. Full sleeves of pink silk are finished with deep cuffs of passementerie, and about the waist a silver girdle is worn, clasped with a pearl buckle. Some of the youthful French dresses of cloth and Bedford cord-button down the back, and have sleeves set into the arm-hole with a puff made of a bias piece of the dress material or of silk, folded together and gathered, the piece 1 being much wider in the middle that at the ends and standing well up on the ' shoulders. Much use will be made the coming | season of peau de soie and lustrous corded silks of various elegant brands, also velvets, plain, corded Rnd striped?in creation of costly dress toilets. Special use is made this year of these costly textiles by several noted Paris and London man miliiners who select novel and ' wonderful patterns. It would sc?tn that the reign of the vest in all its varied forms is to bo indefinitely prolonged. The blouse vest is a favorite with tailors and skillfully managed it is very graceful under the loose fronted coat with which it is worn. The latest modes in vests is a doublebreasted cutaway, with a single point, which is worn with a ruffled shirt and a . coat bodice. WORDS OF WISDOM. Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation. In a worid of shams even a picturesque liar has liis place. Humiiitv is so rare that it usually gets called mean-spiritedness. The necessity of circumstances prove9 friends and detects enemies. The love that gives all and asks nothing will never die of satiety. Nature makes no vagabonds; the world makes us respectable. - The recuperative force of nature works wonders?especially upon widowers. To be content with what we possess U the greatest and most secure of riches. To subdue an enemv?how paltrv 1 To conquer a friend?how soul-satisfying! To think for oneself is not achieved? it is a gift of the gods to a favorite son. All great discoveries are made by men whose feelings run ahead of their thinkings. The modern lover does not implore to be deeply loved; he begs not to be too fcnuch bored. Confidence is a thing not to be produced by compulsion. Men cannot be forced into trust. ' The most sublime psalm that can be heard on this earth is the lisping of a human soul from the lips of childhood. There is in every human countenance either a history or a prophecy, which must sadden, or at least soften, every reflecting observer. For a woman, the temptation to sacrifice herself is strong. When it includes the opportunity to sacrifice her friends also it is irresistible. mere are many more ciever women in the world than men think for; our habit is to despise them; we believe they do .not think because they do not contradict us, and that they are weak because they do not struggle to rise up against us. A man only begins to know women as he grows old. The Drug Swindle. t Some of our Western contemporaries ;are waging meritorious warfare on what they aptly describe as "the substitute drug swindle"?that is, the sale by some 'retail dealers of an article prepared in close imitatien of seme well-known proprietary medicine in place of the genuine article. The extent to which this .fraud is carried on is undoubtedly very great, quite as great in the East as in the fWest. There ought to be a way of reaching it by law. Perhaps there is, |but the law may be so easily evaded that Iprobably no force can be practically applied in restraint of the fraud so potent as public opinion. Wnatever is to be said against the practice, all too general in America, of tinkering at one's system with drugs whose qualities and functions are not known and for complaints not .understood, and however much patent ;medicine3 have tended to increase this 'admitted evil, the fact remains that there are many such medicines with reputations established by long and extensive use, and the character of their manufacturers is to some degree a guarantee that they possess certain virtues. Extensive advertising has rendered the public in '.every country village familiar with their jnature, with the ingredients of which they are claimed to be composed, with ;the diseases they are intended to subdue, [with the results their use is alleged to have produced, and with the appearance 'of packages in which they are placed upJonthe market. It is a common trick, after such medicines have become known and after a demand for them has been .created, for unscrupulous persons to aeivise inferior substitutes, meanly disguised in name and appearancc, and by profitable arrangements with some retail (druggists to reap the advantage of the genuine article's reputation. The druggist of whom a particular sarsaparilla or liver pill is asked doesn't happen to have that potion in stock, but instead hes another, claimed, perhaps, to be his "own make," or, at least, to be welt known to him, which he is always prepared to recommend is cheaper than the article demanded and fully as good. ' In this way a vast number of dangerous drugs are foisted upon the public in place of those which, however undesirable for use without a physician's prescription, are at least reputable and in real demand. So fur has this substitution gone that the market for certaiu of the most favored proprietary medicines, a market created by large exdenditure fend tested service, is occupied now by spurious preparations that no reputable druggist ought to have upon his shelves. u ne ctner smner m tms ousmess, we regret to say, i9 to be found among the retail druggists. Not infrequently he makes himself a knowing partner in the fraud, permitting his name to be printed on the bottles in which the substitute is supplied, or even engaging directly in its manufacture. This is altogether dishonest. Those who buy patent medicines need to be warned against allowing themselves to be cheated. They take great risks whenever they permit a salesman to persuade them to buy any drug except the one they know or want. It is little enough that science in its highest exemplification understands about the human system and the treatment of diseases, and people who undertake to do their own doctoring should at least bo sure that they are obtaining what they intend to obtain, and that they are not taking a cheap toadstool for a mushroom.?

In Scandinavia t Icelandic is taught in the schools as a i classic, and every Scandinavian stuiieut < has read some of the Icelandic 9agas, the s greater part of which he understands i from the similarity of his own tongue. j j Iceland to-day is far behind civiliza- j tion; it is a peep into the past to find { living people grinding corn with the , same kind of huge stones as in the ] ancient world, weaving their own cloth- , Ing and linen in hand looms and churn- , iug butter in the tall, old-fashioned churns worked by pulling a rod up and I down by hand. Money is of little value, J I barter remains the chief means for the ( I exchange of goods. ( There is no telegraphic communication with the igland, and during the six t months of the year it is ice-bound the \ Icelanders are entirely cut off from tho ? outside world. They are so left to indoor occupations during the winter's darkness that education reaches a very high stand- t axd. Every one in the island can read 1 *nd write, and many of the peasants understand another lauguage beside their * own, although many well-known works f have been translated into Icelandic. From May to September there is no night in Iceland, and the midnight sun is visible during July and August. Eternal daylight sounds charming, but ( trying to sleep in a tent in the light of ' day is not so charming in practice. The want of night, of the moon, of stars, makes the constant light very monoton- i ous and trying, but nothing to what an equal length of darkness must be to the | poor natives.

The Baldwin Locomotive "Works are about to begin work on five engines for the Erie Railroad that will be the largest ever constructed in the world. They will weigh 177,000 pounds, or eightyeight tons, and will bo used for hauling heavy freight over the mountains. There has just been completed at the works the largest compound locomotive ever built. It i3 for the fa3t freight service of the New York, Lake Erie and "Western Railroad. The Baldwin Com pany urged the road to try one of the compound engines, and built the engine mentioned as a sample, along with fortyfour single expansion engines. The latter are now being given a careful test as to their capablities and economy of running. When the compound engine has 'had a week or ten days' breaking in a careful test wili be made of its workings, for comparison with those of the single ornonainn firm* "Jrv. The ordinary engines have cylinders twenty-one by twenty-six inches. -The compound engine in question has high pressure cylinders fourteen by twenty-six inches, and low pressure cylinders twenty-four by twenty-sir inches. The big compound-engine is in other respects similar to ordinary engines. It has three pairs of driving wheels, sixty-two inches in diameter. The weight of the engine m working order is 135 ,000 pounds, exclusive of the tender. The weight on the j driving wheels, which is the measure of the power of the engine, is 107,000 pounds. ] The boilers are of the Wooten type, and the fire boxes are 114 inches long by i ninety-six inches wide.

It is expected that this engine can be, ' run at a saving of from thirty-five to i forty per cent, over the same size single 1 expansion engine.

A remarkable story of a fox is told in i a French paper. Whether by the peculiar odor of the sancitity of the church { or the absence of mind of the fox, one * of these usually sly animals mistook a ( church for a chicken house and entered, it in pursuit of prey. In the middle of the night the watchmen were terribly frightened at hearing a ino3t unaccountable noise issuing from under the principal altar. They approached with their lanterns, and were yet more terrified on seeing what their imagination transformed into some strange beast jump on the altar, overthrowing several of the ^ candlesticks, and then disappearing in . the darkness. They sought all night to * discover the whereabouts of the strange { animal, but could find no trace of it. They were finally convinced that it was 1 a supernatural apparation, but it was \ discovered in the morning that several ? fowls- belonging to one of the priests | j had been killed in a hen roost. The fox 1 j ?for it seems to have been nothing more i j nor less?was captured in an outhouse. < ?New York Timst. | ) | J It Costs to Oitji a Tallyho.
