USEFUL HINTS AND NOTES..
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

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

remarked the driver, " but I've had two'

Hate to do it though."
"Why?" -
" On account of the children. The man
is too stingy to pay 25 cents a week to
sprinkle the street in front -of him. He
thought we'd sprinkle it free if the rest of
his neighbors paid, but we are up to all
those tricks. But his children are not to
blame, you know 1" .
" Of course not."
" They realize that this dry spot is a
sign -board to the public and reads : ' Here
lives a mean man.' People stop and look
- at it as they pees, and it is pointed- ant, by
those riding on the cars. He has four
ohildreu, and not one of them is ever seen
in the front yard. They re afraid , of
public ridicule."
"Must be a onrious'man that ? "
" Not merlons, but mean -just downright
mean and stingy. If he was Moor and un-
fortunate I'd feel ashamed to leave the
signboard, but as it is I take particular
pains to let the public get onto him. Now,
watch me aa I turn. See that ? I stop

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.

Packing a Luncheon.
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.

Clipping the Ends of Bair.
It. is an old idea whioheetill largely ob.

clipped on the 000(tsion of the advent of
every now moon, a practice whose adher•
ents claim will preventpresentbreakings

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

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.

How a Deadly 1318+sa8e is Communicated

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

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

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.
Power, an assistant medical officer of the

a matter of act, we suspect that there is in
most communities sa large a proportion of
churchgoers as in the more devout past
times with whioh such damaging compari-
sons are often made. However that may
be, one thing is true ; we do find a tendency
in this day, to think of churches as a sorb
of Sunday lyceums. Wo aro a good deal in
the habit of going to church with the object
of being entertained by the preacher.
