How to Dress and the Ornaments Which Should be Worn. The Married Man. A married man always carries his condi- tion with him, like a trademark. Anybody of average discernment oan deteot him at a glance. He does not pinch his toes with tight boots. He ' does not scent himself with violets. He never parts hie hair in the middle. He keeps his seat in the horse [or aaw.tt.,m ,e- ta°tit } -- >>-.. �-- es, In; he know° that hie wouldn't approve of his rising. He d not get up flirtations with the go looking saleswoman where he buys „his gloves ; he remembers that little birds are flying all around telling tales, and he has a horror or ourtain-leotures ; somehow,' married men never seem t3 arrive at that elate of beatitude where they do appreciate the kind of literary performances known as curtain -lectures. The married man has come to that stage when he is convinced that the way his necktie hangs may not be any more im- portant than his soul's ,salvation. He knows to a certainty that true happiness dcee not depend on the amount of starch in his shirt -bosom, but he will have to have been three times wedded before he will bo able to be reconciled to a collar. band two sizes small or one size large.

Do Wives Tire of Husbands ? It is surprising how soon a wife tires of the oompany of a man who is too much at home. Men are wise in getting away from their own roof trees a certain portion of each day.. Amongtheir wives will be found a general consensus of opinion to this effect. There will be found every- where a disposition to pack off the men in the morning and to, bid them to keep out of the way till toward evening, when it is assumed that they will probably have a little news of .the busy world to bring home, and when baby will be sure to have said something exceptionally brilliant and precocious. The general events of the day will afford topics of conversation more in- teresting by far than if the whole house. hold bad be together from morning till night. A verfalittle inquiry, too, will elicit the faot that,m,en about home alt day are apt to be fidgety and grumpy and interfer- ing -altogether objectionably, in short. This is the'oase very often, Oben with work- ingmen of genius -authors or; parsons or painters -but is partionlarly - apt to be so with the.unemployed, snob, for instance, as business men who have retired or who aro out of the harness for a short time. The spirit of misobief is never at a loss for a job for `paterfamilias if it catches him idlingand lounging about neither at work nor eft play. It stirs np his bile and irritability, very likely, and incites hint to the reform of domestic abuses. It kindles his eanilary ardor, and sande him poking . and sniffing about inconveniently into all the o'd cor- ners of the ellabliefienent, or sets hint abort the onrtailm t• of housekeeping extrava• ganoe, or the amendment of various un- methodical household procedures, all of whioh, however right and proper, tendo to disturb domestic peace rd quietude, and to make all the feminine members of the family very uncomfortably. -The Old Home- stead. 1 e� Siam's representative at gay Paris otaked all his wealth on baccarat, and the last heard -of him he was on his way to tho land of'the white elephant, having shipped a °steward on a vessel.

A luncheon should be parried if possible in a basket and not in a close box, because_ the free entrance of air that is possible only to the basket keeps the food in a better and more healthful condition. A fresh wrapper for the luncheon should also ba used each day -a linen one is daintiest, to be sure -but if that is not to be had then a fresh square of confectioner's paper or it Japanese paper napkin ehonld be used. The packing of many dishes in the basket is out of the question, but there should surely be some arrant eraent by which a flask of oold tea or milk or bouillon or lemonade can be carried. An ordinary bottle will answer every purpose if it be carefully stoppered, but an inexpensive flask with a drinking cup fitted to • the bottom is most convenient and beet. Salt and pepper in very amall`cruete should -also be carred. An Exquisite Dressing -Table. An exquisite dressing -table without one silver -backed article on it ! The thing is not often tried, but it is very successful in the realization. Uenally nowadaya the dressing table with a right to the adjective or even complete has at .least one or two boxes or brush backs of silver. Somebody sees to it at Christmas time or on birth- days that there is something of the sort, but the beauty of this one is in satin•wcod and olive -wood backs for brushes, and in boxes of tortoise shell and white bone, and in little crystal bottles instead of the assertive and more common large ones. An old-fashioned dressing -table of the sort so much in fashion now may screetimes be picked up at anauction-room for next' to nothing. -Boston Transcript. Lady Dilke's Fete. Lady Dilke, that beautiful and gifted English woman, who captivated the Ameri- cans three years ago, entertained a hundred poor children of London just before the season closed. The barefoots, ragamuffins and guttersnipes of the East End left.Lon- don by an early train' and spent the whole day in the Byfleet woods,where they bad dinner and tea in a marquee, which had been erected in an adjoining field. During the afternoon prizes were given for the most tastefully arranged posies of wild flowers. Lady Dilke, Mrs. Wentworth Dilke, Miss Tuokwell, Miss Austin, Miss Ada and Mies Edith Heather -Bigg, Mr. Mackenna, and other' ladies and gentlemen helped amuse the youngsters by plain. touch -wood and various other round games. The children returned to London by 8 in the evening, havingepent a most happy day,- to be met at Waerloo by their grateful mothers, mostly the wives,of dook laborers. • Clipping the Ends of Bair. It. is an old idea whioheetill largely ob. tains that the ends of the hair should be clipped on the 000(tsion of the advent of every now moon, a practice whose adher• ents claim will preventpresentbreakings and splitting, and,in general contribute to the health and beauty of "woman's glory." Frehoh hairdressers and barbers, however, protest against this, and urge the burning process instead. They say, as is well. known, that every hair iq,' it hollow tube, whicils, to i'ct'aibb ti f health and natural color, ehonld bo filled with an oil ; frequent clipping allows this oil to escape and the hair is thereby injured. When the hair is burned, however, the ends aro seared over, thus holding the lubricator. -New York Times. The 1Vholo Effect: is Stylish.

Something New In Jackets. A new style of fancy jacket is composed of two materials -generally a plain fabric and e, brocaded one, For instance, the bodice of the jacket, which is tight fitting at the bank and open in front, is of bright silver gray glace silk, while the full sleeves, the collar and long revers, tapering down to the waist, , are of brocaded silk of the same shade of color. _The Autumn Bonnets. • There is no likelihood of any mark ohange in shapes of bonnets this autum -he oval tobr� ei sha i 1. dobe favorite.

How a Deadly 1318+sa8e is Communicated to Children. Dr. Klein read a paper before the mem- bers of the_Royal Society, England, on a `petpe ; ''t '-M eedelu... eeee-n-arc g atggeng , et ay.�,..tee w^;�T, lex.-_�,t•ee,. D � -..� �.v�EuU' i:-SLff�ufcir, 'o`F`iiti� treating specially of the disease in the cat and the cow. Dr. Klein stated that during three years past the relations existing between a mysterione oat malady and human diphtheria had beet prcmineutIy brought to his notice. the illness of the oats being generally -of a pulmonary t:ha-' raoter. '1'1?e animals were frequently, while ill, nursed by children, who in turn fell ill with the disease, which was in them well -marked diphtheria ; or where children developed the disease, cats in the house sickened eimultaneously or later. In North London last year the malady among oats wae,of a widespread nature. After various experiments. Dr. Klein was able to state that the disease in question in these animals was undoubtedly aiphtheria. As regarded diphtheria in the miloh•cow, Dr. Klein bas -mei.='-� ..-.._ ease permeating her system ; and, be shoaled how, by artificially induced diph- theria, the symptoms so often found in miloh cows, where milk was discovered to be the means of disseminating diphtheria, were well marked in the odder. Dr. Klein further gave an illuetration of diphtheria conveyed from cow to cat at the Brown institution, where he was working. The milk of two diphtheria -infected cows, instead of being thrown away, was used for feeding two,healthy caged oats. These beoame ill of diphthe ,ia, and subsequently all cats placed in these oages developed the disease. Both these animals, therefore, may be accused of infecting man, and the greatest interest now attaches to the condi- tions under which the cow oan acquire this property of inflicting injury upon the rinkers of her milk. Dr. Klein has shown what was Iong ago suspected by We H.

Such communications are the custom among the powers, and there is a stereo- typed form for them. For instance, on the occasion of the last important domestic happening in the honeehold of Queen Vic- toria te letter came from her to President Harrison, as follows : Victoria, Queen of Great Britain, Empress of India, Defender of the Faith, etc., ere., to Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States : GREAT.

It is worth noting that the President never sees these lettere from Queen Vic- toria and other sovereigns at all, and the replies, whioh are written in an elegant Spencerian hand by .a $1,200 clerk in the department of State, are merely taken to _him_foL.his. _signature.---Suoh-is--the-non.- sense of diplomacy.
