Hunting Porcnplnes in Egypt,
I bad an adventure one evening,
when, just before retiring, I turned,
!on bearing a noise, and beheld a large,
black object rolling towards me. My
hair began io rise on end. I took a i
brave p' 1 and flapped my towel at :
the inti.. .er. but on it rolled. I was
oomered; but when I stamped my i
foot and "shoo-ed" vigorously, "it"
took a stand, too. Then it rolled '
away and disappeared. My husband <
^ returned from his errand, and I, after '
" relating my adventure, mounted a '
chair in true woman fashion?for my J
oourage had rather oozed out at my <
feet in that heroic stamp?and left my
husband to poke around the room, i
umbrella in hand, after the unknown j
and unseen foe, which I described to J
be about as large as a puppy. Nothing
came to light; and "hubby," after the i
manner of men, teased me unmercifnllv
as hfl rammerl ftrnnnrt with nnr 1
best umbrella, while from my perch I
insisted that such an object really had ^
attacked me, and that my natural history
remembrances were unable to t
cope with its species. i
Finally, much to my triumph, the
foe was unearthed from behind the \
portmanteau, and the erudite hunter, j
after a prolonged stare of astonishment
and a prolonged poke of his 1
weapon, declared it to be a little por- *

Where Do Children Learn Lying 1
A Chicago kindergarten teacher sayi
that mothers come to her so often,
asking how they shall break then
children from telling untruths, that
she has almost come to think that lying
is a National evil. Humiliating a?
is this conclusion, its truth cannot be
gainsaid.
"I am so distressed," said a mother
to her boy's teacher, "that Freddie
could deceive ycu so. I can't imagine
why he is so untruthful; his father is
truth itself, and I am 6ure no one evei
beard me tell a lie. Call him in," she
idded, turning to her little daughter.
"He won't come if he knows Miss ?
is here," said the child. "Say it's
grandma wants him," suggested he?
nother; "that will fetch him."
And yet 6he wondered at her boy'a

"Cost me two dollars," laughed his

Rather a costly joke, involving the

eracity, and by reflex influence lowring
his own standard of truth.
"You're a half an hour late, Willie,"
aid another mother, "but here's an
xcuse; give it to the teacher, and she
ron't say a word." The child, who
ouldn't read writing, confidently deivered

, Novelty and Variety in Women's

About Skirts.
IF the day ever comes when critics
will abandon the silly twaddle
about fashion iD which they haye
so long indulged, remonstrates a
writer in the New York Ledger, the
1 ' " ' 1
world wiu oe muuii ^uiu? uj mo
change. For a good many years
fashion, its frivolity, its senselessness,
its absurdity and its xiselessness, has
been the subject of screeds without
. number, each critic apparently trying
to hold it up to keener ridicule than
his predecessor. As a matter of fact,
on fashion and its changes rest the
foundations of commercial prosperity.
If the old were as pleasing as the
new, many of the factories would go
out of business, the importers would
never go to the trouble and expense
of importing goods for which thero
was no imperative demand, and, one
by one, industries that employ thousands
upon thousands of persons would
languish and die. If a five-year-old
dress wa3 as pleasing as a new one,
^ NEW STYLES OF D"
iFomen would not take the trouble
ami worry that they now do to provide
fresh costumes for all seasons;
but this thing which we call fashion
demands novelty and variety, and to
meet its requirements manuiaciures
and trade are ever kept active.
Within reasonable limits, therefore,
fashion, as we now nse the term,
means business prosperity and gainful
occupations to the many. It would
be a good idea to elevate the literature
of fashion to its proper plane and do
away with much of the silliness and
frippery that characterize it.
The styles for spring are already
shown, and it is safe to say that the
models presented will furnish types
for warm weather wear. The changes
in dresses are not very marked; the
plain skirt with the usual shape is an
accepted standard. Skirts are as long
as is comfortable or convenient, but
as has been said before, they are quite
as well liked, because even though
they are somewhat shorter, they are
bound to cut off at the edges unless
they are 6lightly raised.
It is a carious fact that many of the
very best dressed women insist on
these long skirts, but always raise them
a little when on the street. This has
hygienic points and daintiness to commend
it. Draggled siirts do not become
a gentlewoman, and it is impossible
to walk for any distance without
soiling the binding if the skirt is allowed
to swing.
A new street dress is made with the
usual flaring skirt, without trimming,
except a graduated band of velvet at
either side of the belt. This velvet is
dotted with rosettes of satin ribbon.
A velvet belt with satin rosettes,
revers of velvet, with rosettes at the
shoulders and velvet and satin rosettes
at the elbows where the sleeves
droop over, form the finish. The vest
is of shirred silk, matching the dress
in color.
Among the new ideas in the making
of skirts are trimmings of narrow sideplaiting,
such as were in great demand
ten or twelve years ago. The fabric is
i hemmed and closely pressed, and a
single row of plaiting, with a heading
of narrow gimp or ribbon plaiting,
will be a popular fashion for dresses
for all occasions.
An attractive siun nas a very nurrow
side-plaited ruffle, headed with a
flat gallon stitched down very closely.
Above this is a little ruffle made of
strips of silk about two inches wide.
This is gathered or box-plaited in the
middle, and is set on in scallops about
half the size of a coffee saucer. At
each point there is a rosette of passementerie,
with a tassel made of fringes
of silk and beads. This i* dressy, and
makes a simple and inexpensive finish
for afternoon dresses.
While there is a good deal of talk
about skirts that measure eight or
nine yards around, it is scarcely
necessary to soy that it is only occasionally
that one sees them. They
are monstrosities, designed only to use
up material and furnish work at some
future time when one is obliged to rip J
them to pieces, after trying in van to 1
get some comfort out of such a mass
of material.
women's shoes.
The coming shoes for women are
handsomer thnu ever. There are
three beautiful designs: The first, a
superb Oxford tie, dongola foxed,
and patent-leuther tipped. It has a
heel foxing curved from the vamp
seam bfick to the top of the shoe. The
top is of handsome drab cloth and trie
lace stays are ornate. The latter, ns
well as the heel foxing, is scalloped at
the edges. It has a slender, pointed
toe and medium heel.
The second is a high cut, with a
checked cloth top and thirty-two eyelets
with silk laces. This is foxed
with bright dongola in bluelierette
shape, and has a deep, pointed tip of
patent leather. It is slender-toed,
but slightly square at the tip.
The third is a nnllifier congress,

GINGHAMS.
Silk and linen ;i nghams seem to improve
in quality and finish every year.
They are ranch liked for the cool and
comfortable dresses in which every
woman delights. They are made up
in somewhat elaborate styles, and m
some of the darker colors rarely need
washing, they are trimmed with ribbons,
lace, satin and embroidery. One
model in pink and white has a trimming
of crimped ruffles of embroidered
chiffon, with an abundance of
ribbons. These ginghams are in
stripes or spots, ani some of them
have tiny sprigs and flowers. They
have some very desirable qualities.
They are extremely soft, and do not
crush and get badly creased, as do
almost all fabrics containing linen.
Unless linenB are very thick and firm,
they get stringy after a short time of
wearing.

and yet be in the fashion ought rather

while the blonde should be careful
to have a simple way of arranging
her locks. The "accordion knot" is a
pretty way for either blonde or brunette.

for more dressy occasions.
Study yourself before attempting to
wear your hair in any of the fashionable
ways is good advice.

PETCNIA VELVET.
One of the favorite colors this season
is a warm purple shade with an
admixture of faint pink, exactly the
tint which a few years since was
called puce, and proved such a becoming
background to those who rejoiced
in golden locks and a clear complexion.
Of course, petunia, as it is now
called, shews to greatest advantage in
miroir velvet, corded silk, or other
rich fabrics which permit of lights and
shadows falling upon the folds so that
they blend in an exquisite harmony.

Novel Advertising Scheme.
A novel scheme of advertising if
accomplished by means of the tricycle.
A French inventor is using the machine
for printing various trade statements
on the pavements of Paris. This
feat is accomplished by means of immense
types set into the tire of the
hind wheels of the machina. Ink is
nsed in the printing and the type is
made of rubber. Each rabber type
is independently inserted in the wheel
so that it can be removed and other
type inserted. Thus the machine can
be made to print any sentence whose
length is not longer than the circumference
nf tVio tfViooI
A reservoir, or fountain of ink is
situated back of the seat and flows to .
rollers, which bear on the top of the '
wheels. Then as the latter toll around
the ink is conveyed to the pavement
and the impression of the letters is
left there. While the streets of Paris
are traditionally clean, yet there is always
enough dust which would bo
caught up by the ink-faced type, a
condition which would result very
soon in the clogging of the machine.
To prevent this a little blower, or bellows,
is placed in front of each wheel,
and as the machine moves it ejects
wind enough to blow away all dust
immediately in line with the wheel.
The machine was shown at a recent

(From Journal, Leioislon, Me.)
Samuel R. Jordan has just given the Journal
an account of his life, which in view of
his extremely hard lot for tne past few years
will be read with interest.
'I am 48 years old and have always lived
in New Portland. 1 enlisted in the army Id
1862 as a private in Company A, 28th Ma
Volunteers. My army experience injured my
health to some extent, although I worked at
blacksmithing some part of the time, when
suddenly, several years ago, I waa prostrated
with what able physicians pronounced Locomotor
Ataxia. At first I could get around
aomewnat. yei ine disease progressou qmvo
rapidly until I had hardly any feeling in my
legs and feet, they felt like stioks of wood
and I grew so much worse that I could not
move for three years without help, as my
neighbors and friends could testify. I employed
several physicians in my vicinity, an<?
elsewhere, and they all told me that medicines
would not help me, that they could dc
nothing to effect a cure, and that in time I
should become entirely helpless. I became
discouraged. I was a great care to my wift
and friends. Shortly after I met an old armj
comrade, Mr. All. Parlin, a resident of Madison,
Maine, and he incidentally mentioned
how he had tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
a severe case of rheumatism and a spinal and
malarial trouble, that he had suffered with
consequent of his army life, and been greatly
benefited by their use. By his earnest recommendation
I was induced to try the pills.
After taking them for a time I began to feel
prickly sensations in my legs and a return of
strength so I could move them a little. After
a few weeks I began to feel a marked improvement
in my condition. I soon was enabled
to walk around a little with the help
of crutches. After taking for some time I
can now walk without crutches, my general
health is much improved and I have regained
my old-time vigor. I can walk
about and enjoy life once more, for which I
feel very thankful, and this happy result is
due to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People |
are not a patent medicine in the sense that I
name implies. They were llrst compounded !
as a prescription and used as such in general
practice by an eminent physician. So great
was their efficacy that it was deemed wise to
place them within the reach of all. They

Medical _Dlscovery.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS,,
Has discovered in one of our common .
pasture weeds a remedy that cures every
kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula
down to a common pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases l ,
(both thunder humor). He has now in M
bis possession over two hundred certificates
of ita value, all within twenty milea J*'
of Boston. Send postal card for book. >n
A benefit is always experienced from the ?
first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted II
when the right quantity is taken. "'
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver
or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts
being stopped, and always disappears in a c
week after taking it Bead the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first
No ohange of diet ever necessary. Eat
