V 'Not many years ago I head a faher cau? tion bis two lovely and accomplished daughtsr against an intimacy with two : at their girl friends. "Those girls are becoming so flirtisti and gay," he said, ^ihafclam sure y our good names will ?Buffer if you are Been much in their company.

'Girls devoid of this element do not understand why they are not as attractive to men as some less beautiful and less prudent friend may be, and think the male sex very appreciative. - They hear men severely criticize the girl whosemisdirected "go" has led her Into flirtatious follies with his box, yet he is attracted in spite of himself, by the quality'which actuated her follies, and beheads by. marrying her. "I do net see teat it pays to be well and prudent," said a very bean tl and modest girl to me recently., "The men treat you with respect, but pajrjaU their attention to and fi r marry the girls who flirt with J?iem/^-i I could not deny the truth of her state K^ta; yet I felt sorry to admit it.

J Avoid flirting, my dear girls, bot cul? tivate "go."?J?tfa Wheeler Wiloax, in Chicago Tribune. The Revival or Mending. As ready made clothing becomes bet tea and more moderate in price one net infrequently hears women say, "Ob, it j doesen't pay to mend very much when new hose, new undergarments and new gowns are to be bought so cheaply!" A more frequent excuse for the neglect of "the stich in time" 1b that made by the woman who says that she likes to make new garments, but she either can? not or does not like to mend. In regard to the first class, women who wear good clothes know that only oheap material, poorly shaped and made is sold at very low prices, and that it doea not pay to mend hose, fine flannel underwear and other garments, except auch sb, like tbe one horse sbay, go to i pieeee all at once. Probably the rea? son is to be found in the decay of the 1 fiae art of mending and of darning, ' which once dealt with rents and holes in a way chat made it difficult to detect. Things were made as good as new. Since the revival of needlework, mending and darning are onee more bee iming in ? terestig, and instruction in these branch? es is as eargerly Bought by those, who -have not the talent as-? know ledge of the new est stitch in embroidery. The mend - Ling class may yet become as popular as ithat in chins painting or cookery, and 'We&frily presents an opportunity to a wozfi33'skilled in such uses of her nee dies. The wefPstoekedworklwaket contains many, materials' for fine mending un? known to oar' grandmothers. Xhere are the braided skeins'of fine- Bilks in many colors and cut in nee?le length* that are to be had for less than* ?? qnarter of a dollar, and the skeins of foe -bread, in tana, grays and other shades^ for glove mending. For stockings theifare yarna Of cashmere and of cotton, in celove and in fadeless black, and Balbrigy ao ?ott?n i for .unbleached hose, underwe? f andtew- i els. The latter cotton comes in skeins ?4 ; deep cream color, and is un wisted, bo ] that one or several of the threads majr.be need. For bleached towels of 6 e quality and for table linen there is a white-flax I thread that comes by tbe stein. The ; cashmere yarn is suitable for mending .colored flannel?. Rolls of silt tape may lalso be had for binding over md er wear, or some of the firm narrow r boons that are often sold for from three to five cents a yard. Cotton tape of good quality is often lees burgling U> set under a spot where a bur.ton baa been torn away than at small patch of doth [For lace mending, a small ball of "lace i thread" is kept in the basket and is-treed to imitate the broker? stitehes of the lace as closely as possible, tbe piece of lace to be mended first being; baeted on a dark leather kept 'for the purpose. .

[ A man who was much interested in the condition of the lower class of peo? ple throughout the country fell into a conversation, while on a railway, with a Misaourian. "Are there very many distressing cases of poverty in your town?" "Not a great many," the Missourian answered. "When we hear of a family that is very destitute we chip in and nelp them out." "The readiest way, sorely,, to relieve distress/! said the interested man, "bat I have observed that it is. better to find work for people than to give tbem mon? ey. People to whom mosey ie given rarely know bow to spend it." "I reckon that's about so," the Mis? sourian replied. "Some time ago a powerful poor family came to our town. There was a widow and three daughters two of them about grown. They took op their quarters in an old deserted house, and it wasn't long until we heard that they hadn't anything to eat. Well, a lot of us went out to the old house, and, sure enough, they were mighty nigh starved to death. Bight there, sir, we raised $8 and told the widow that we'd see that she didn't go hungry. Tbe grateful woman gave the money to bor daughter, and said : 'Lou, yon and the children run right away down town and get something with this money/ Well, off the girls put and we waited to enjoy the pleasure of seeing them satisfy their hunger. They came back after a while and now what do you reckon tbey bad bought?" "I have no idea." "Well, Bir, they had bought four fin ger rings and a quart of molasses." "The miserable fools. The poor moth er must have been indignant." "You bet she was." "What did she say?" "Why she said, 'Lou, I'd like to know what in common sense made you get so many of these here blamed molasses.'" ? Mrs. Abraham Greenfield, who has fasted for forty-five days, refusing to take even liquid nourishment, died of starva? tion Saturday night at her borne in Mount Zion Township, 111., aged 68 years. The lady two months ago, when sbe was in apparent good health, told her family and friends that she would be dead February 15, and soon afterward she refused to eat, although she prepared meals and kept at work about tbe house until she became so weak that she had to take to her bed. She bad medical at? tention. She was greatly emaciated, nothing but skin and bones. Her death was apparently painless. Her friends state that ber mind bad bees unsound for severalmou|ba before sbe formed' a reso? lution to die. ? If you want knowledge, you must toil for it; if .food, you muBt toil for it; and if pleasure, you must toil for it. Toil is the law. ?The Norris Hose Company, Norrie town, Pa., owns a dog that smokes cigars aud gathers stumps to puff on them. He also drinks beer. ? A party of revenue officers have de stroyed in Cleburne Oounty, Ala, the largest illicit distillery on record. It was operated by a 15 horse power engine and made 700 gallons of whiskey daily. Ten feet from it was a small brick house con? taining thirty Btacks of firearms. Five moonshiners were caught and the still blown up with the dynamite. ? Miss Mary Jane Squires, aged 80, an eccentric woman who lived alone for many years near Perry Center, N. Y., was found dead in a chair, February 16. Forty pet cats were in the room, sever * I : of them being on ber lap and one on each shoulder. The life of the woman jwas a mystery to everybody, for she ad l'mitted no one to companionship but her cats; ? There is at least one person on re~ I cord who had lived long enough. This was tbe late Mra. Nancy Britt Kennedy, of Augusta, Me., who was said to be 118" years old, though nobody really knew Her I age. Perhaps her case might be claimed as an answer to prayer. She arose early in the morning of a cold December day, aud began to pray that she might die. Three-quarters of an hour she thus prayed earnestly, at the end of which time she sank upon the floor and was desd in a few minutes. - Here is tbe smartest trick that has been played by a swindler for some time past. One day last week a stranger rep? resenting himself, as being connec ed with a railroad that is being built through the region, applied to Jacob Pinckney, a rich farmer near Un ion town, Pen n., for board, which was granted. Three days later tbe stranger told Mr.Pinckney that every night he had been dreaming of a certain tree on the farm that was filled with money. He minutely described the tree, and Mr. Pinckney recognized it. The alleged railroader appeared not to be very much interested, stating that it was nothing but a dream, but Mr. PinckceyY curiosity was greatly aroused, and he insisted that they go to the tree and tee about the matte . The tree was found as described, and on its being cut down $4, 000 in silver was found in the hollow trank. The metal was taken to the house in sacks and baskets, and it' was agreed that tbe money should be divided. The {Stranger,, however, said that he could not OTrry his share, and asked the farmer to* giver him paper money for it. Mr. Pinck- j ney7 flfid so, and after tbe stranger was gone^ he made a test of the "silver," and found that it was all spurious. He had been neatly swindled out of two thousand dollars. j Advice to Weira . If you would protect yourself j from Painful, Profuse, Scanty,. !

OHAS. S. SKELTON, D. A. SKELTON, Executors. March 9{ 1893 3-3 ? TYhat Free Coinage Means, As many of our readers may not fully understand what the free coinage of sil? ver means, we give the following defini? tion as furnished by the director of tbo mint: "The term 'free and unlimited coinage of silver' means the conferring of the right upon Individuals to take silver of auy kind to the mints and haveovery 371 1-2 pure grains of it stamped free of charge, into a dollar, which dollar is a full legal tender for its face value iu the pay? ment of debbt and obligations of all kinds in the United States. In other words, an ounce of silvor (480grains) which can now be bought in the open market for OS cents, is to pass, under the kind of free coinage now proposp-d, for $1.29. A speculator who paid $98 for 100 ounces would get at the Treasury $129 in National Currency, making ?31 by tho transaction. Or to put it differently, with silver bullion at 9S cents per ounce, he would get 100 silver certificates, for silver bullion that cost him $79.79. The average cost of produc? ing silver per ounce in the United States I in 1886 was 51.1 cents per ounce. In Montana the cost was 43.3 cents per ounce. Tho Granite mine in that State, according to the official statomnnt of the Granite Mountain Company to the Direc? tor of the Mint iu 1880, produced 2,987,764 ounces of silver at a cost of 22 3-4 cents per ounce. In Mexico, the cost is 34.4S cents; in South America, 34.58 cents; in Australia, at the Broken Hill mine, 16 cents'.- Very large quantities of silver are produced at tbeso figures." It would seem that the mi no owners, andnot'the farmers, would be benefited by free coinage; ? The few scattered opponents of the blohloride of gold cure will be interested in'learning that the K?eoly institute has decided to contract! with the United Skates government to pat the treatment in all the national and state military and. naval homes in' America. J. S. vickers, of London, representing a Brit? ish'syndicate capitalzed at $5,000,000, has contracted for sole right to administer tho gold oure in the British Isles. The pro? gress of this new discovery, the thous? ands of cured patients holding their an? nual conventions, and voluntary testi? mony in Its behalf aro as wonderful as anything that has been seen, since the days of Jenner and vaccination. Of course, there are a few doubters. Men doubted vaccination, bnt it won its way. A few failures prove nothing. Tno best remedies fail in some cases, but the world is too sensible to give them up on that account.
