A distinguished man remarked not long ago that there is no surer test of culture than the way in which one he wiles a book. "All those who have any experience of the deeper life," be said,. think of books almost as human beiugs. Even a book whieh is not worth much in itself is still treated by them with respect, since it wears the outward guise of what they have learned to consider their beat friends." He yeas on to condemn the senseless and offensive manner in which choir atngers often abuse their hymn books, bending them backward until the covers meet, and holding them thus throughoub an entire hymn. Such vandalism is not, alas 1 confined to the class mentioned. A certain housekeeper, who also takes due just and noble view of books, almost frightened her parlormaid into spasms by the stern reprimand which she gave her on this subject, says a contributor to the New York Times. The poor maid lead just let fall one of her mistress' favorite volumes. "Never 1" she uttered in a deep and trembling voice, "never drop a book in my house again.

A Berlin cable says : A workmeee in a village near Dresden recently bad trouble with a registrar, who refused to record Robespierre Denton as the name of the workman's baby boy. The workman even- tually declared that if he might not christen the boy Robespierre Denton he would not christen the child at all. Al the instance of the registrar he was flned 20 marks for neglect- ing to christen the boy. He took an appeal to a higher court in Dresden, where the case wss dismissed on Tuesday, tbe judge holding that "in a country both Christian and nu narchical, no men has a right toname his child af ter avovvedly atheistic and repub- lican scoundrels."

To Ulla enticing picture there are but few shadows. The existence of leprosy is one.

Speaking of cold weather (and we all have had lots to say about it of bete), I have discovered that the cold affects min and women differently. I mean that despite the fact that both sexes are of the human kind they have not the same vulnerable points for Jack Frost to nip. A woman has the right and privilege of wearing a seahkin Jacket. A man has not unless he CAA afford it, and very few of us can. You may have noticed, as I have, that a woman when outdoors in a cold day goes alorlg apparently comfortable except for her nose. She covers it with her rnittened or gloved hand, or if she is very nice she holds her handkerchief up in front of it. Ib is the tip of her nose that the cold takes hold of and won't let go. Her oheeke and her chin never seem to suffer but her nose always gets red and cold and froet bitten. This does not especially apply to the long -nosed girls either. Oa the con- trary it is the girl with the tiptilted nose who usually suffers the most. I believe that phesioiani say the vulnerability of the feminine Lorre is i aused by corsets, or rather by the lacing which the mere wearing of comets impins. At any rate it forces the blood to the nose and makes red noses as well as tender noses. And the only morel I can rese in it is that if the girls should shed their corsets they might not in course of time be forced to the undignified proceeding of holding on to their DOM. Now, with men whose noses have been painted with many a cocktail you would naturally think that the same rule would apply, even in a more marked degree. Nature has its compensations, 'and the man whose nose gets red from a too frequent association with saloons gets ho extra color- ing from the cold. Instead of that it touches him on the mere. There's where a man feels the cold first. It' his ears that tingle when the mercury slips down toward the zero noteh. It's his ears that frees when he stays out in the wintry weather long enough, Perhaps the previous paint- ing of his nose rather hardens it. I don't know.

There should be no divided authority nor conflict of opinion in tlae sick room ; buG there should be har- mony of purpose and unity of action and concourse of effort in order to restore most safely and surely the invalid to health. TMs is the sole purpose of both doctor and nurse. The trained nurse is not only obe- dumb but she is intelligently so ; and she not only complies with certain rules, but, she obeys them in such a manner as to achieve the best results and acooroplieh the greenest good.

The large felt het was. also in beaver color, with trimmings Of green velvet and a touch or two of deep rich red. She looked as if she had walked out of a picture straight away. GRIME AND RECAMIER COIFFURES. There is, however, one subject on which men might well have cause to grumble and (.bat is on the subject of women exhibiting deplorable specimens ofarms and the,thing becomes worse not better. The Mtge velvet puffed otit sleeves emphasize this de- feat, and a very thin arm which would serve muoh better for a 'demonstration in anatomy thaa to exhibit in a ballroom, surrounded by a large puff of velvet and which looks like a very full-blown, huge flower on a far too slender stem. The other evening two sisters mitered a ball -room together.. They were beautifully dressed in black crepon, made up on satin, with large eloevee aeu ueep cohere ot wee palest line - green velvet. Their hair was beautifully done in the smart chignon -like knob at the beck, secured by fine silk nets, while in front it was diviued in the centre, mizzed and waved most elaborately. " Well turned out, those girls 1" remarked a man. "Look at their arms," said his comrade, " they're regular bone shows; why on earth don'b they put veils on them ?" They were indeed lamentable ,• thin to attenua- tion, red and white mottled in complexion. Their owners however, appeared blissfully unconscious Of any defect, and hung out one of these limbs over their partners' shoulder as though it were a possession to be proud of. MARVELLOUS EVENING GOWN. Some very pretty ball frocks are being created just now. These are chiefly of brocades and seeing. A ball dress is a far more costly affair than it used to be a year or two ago, when tulle and other gossamery fabrics reigned supreme. Bat this is atoned for by its comparative durability. Diaphanous skirts were oftenrobbed of their bloom long before the evening was spent; now it is not only poseible but easy to look aa fresh (as regards one's attire) when the • last dance on the programme is reached as on fiat entering the room.

DREAM OP BEAUTY AND ELEGANCE. Evening dresses are often trimmed with fur. A pleasing instance is found in an Ivory satin made to fit quite tightly over 'the hips, where a deep full flounce is gathered on, headid with a band of crystal and pearl embroidery, which is bordered with it line of Ruasien steble at either side. The flounce is b.eibmecl with sable as well, and thie costly trimming ie repeated on the ab beautiful waistcoat in tiearl and odice, passing upwards on either side of oryital embroidery, heading the huge white velvet sleeves and ending at the baok of them under a tassel of pearl and orystal fringes and a knob of satin ribbon.

Amongst the newest) colures is the " Recander," which though simple to all appearance, requires soma skill in the decided manipulation of the twist at the back. For full dress, donkey's *rare in shaded velvets are to be seen standing up directly in front of the hair, whilst, rosettee, pompadour puffs, small fruits, such as cur- rants, grape., cherries and flowers Or osprey, are frequently worn, more at the side of the head. One cannot admire any of these decorations, which too often, particularly when not adjusted by the light fingers of an experienced maid, are far from enhancing the charms of the fair wearer and impart to her an undesirably comic appearance.
