(1001) ADVICE,
Let each mea learn to know himself,
To gain that knowledge let 111m labor ;
Improve those failings in himself,
Which he eon(lcros s0 in his neighbor.
How lenient our own faults we view,
And conscience voice adeptly smother ;
Yet, oh how harshly we review
Those selfsame errors ire another.
And if you meet an erring 0110,
Whose deeds are blameable and thought-
less,
Consider ere you oast the stone,
You yourself be pure and blameless.
0 list to that small voiuo within,
Whose whisporings oft have men con-
founded,
And trumpet not another's sin,
You world blush if your own were sound-
ed.
Or in self judgment if you find,
Your deeds to others are superior
To you has Providence boon kind,
As you should bo to those inferior.
Example sheds a genial ray
Of light, which men aro apt to borrow,
So first improve yourself to -day,
And then improve your friends to -mor-
row,
Wool Prospects.
The late 82(10011 has prevented any
active movement in the wool trade in
our local markets, The washing has
been delayed and the clip will not be
foiwardod for two weeks yet. As
usual this season wool is quiet, and
in ear market 1.8 to 90 cents aro the
ruling prices. The attention of the
wool buyers is turned toward the
probable ruling prices for rho now
clip during the coining 0101180r. We
are ruled 111 prima hero by the United
Stales market, and the effect of Lho
m0uetnly panic last summer on the
other sidri was to depress prices to a
point that seemed abnormally low, yet

of au Anglo Russian war. But on
the contrary, and 1n the fano of those
favoring influences, prices have con-
tinued to drop. Tho present low
range of values for wool may oouse-
quoutly be considered for tho present
lime normal and natural. Notwith•
standing the feet that from one-third
to one-half of the woollen 411adline17
of the United States has either been
partially idle, or running on short
time, rho 11011)11 proportion of the eli.p
seems to have passed from dealers into
consumers' hands, anti the markets
appear to bo as well cleared of old
wool at Ude time as in former years,
THE BRU$SELti POET

The deolitle that occurred about April

S'nslllen for 111111' Dressing i'or 1 Asia.
Tho spring and summer fashions
for ladies' hail' dressing will not
change materially from the styl
which have prevailed during tho wit
ter ; the hair continuos to bo worn
high, the bow knot on the crown of
the hood, with t4 fow waves 111141 short
curls tapering toward the nook, boin
almost universal fur ordinary wee
Tho front hair id wore vary fluffy in
Pompadour shape, a perfect nest of
810x1 waves and ring O11:8; mall
ladies use 14 01111111 Pompadour roll to
heighten the front hair, and pin their
front coiffures. These styles are worn
by young ladles also, but there are
many ladies, particularly those whose
hair is turning gray, who do not
thinly these curb aro dignified, and
who prefer to wear the hair parted in
the centre, and waved in large weaves
at the sides, "Madonna style."
The straight hang is still worn by
a few, but since the little clash girls 1u
fancy ato(es have adapted this style,
this fashion 18 On rho wane. Fashion•
able hairdressers' stores are filled
with different styles of ornamoutal
hair goods, all intended to save the
ladies tho trouble of arranging their
own hair. Never Was additional hair
so much worn as at present, although
it floes not appear so, els it is not
fashionable to wear bulky chignons.
But the front coiffures which often
cover almost all the head, aro so ar-
tistically made that no one would sup-
pose th'tt they aro merely convenien-
ces, removable at will. A fasionable
lady can thus appear as a blonde or a
brunette, or with golden auburn locks
as it may please her fancy, as tunny
do.
Shell p1ns, plain, are used altogeth-
er for arranging the loops of hair.
Fancy shell pins, silver and Rhino
stone ornaments in endless variety,
aro worn in the back hair. Por even-
ing wear, puffs of flowers and feathers.
For young ladies, knots of flowing
ribbons.
