RING-4A-ROUND-A-ROBY. [Margaret Sidney in the Youth's Companion.] “ Who told you?” asked Perley, shaking her hhead at the ring of consctence-stricken figures Beforeher. “I sh’d just like to know that. ‘Row, Jane Fletcher, you're at the end; you've got to tell first.” “Twas Bouncer,” said Jane, twisting her thumbs nervously. “Oh dear me! don’t iook Perley; *twan’t nothin’, I'm sure!” sa think "twas a good deal,” cried Perley, “and perfectly dreadful, too, to saythat I ate— nO, bled—that’s the word, the very word, ‘that I ‘gobbled up my brother Johnny’s apple- tart, that the cook baked specially for him, and wouldn't even let him have one bite.” "Twas the dreadfullest thing to say In all this world! ” ‘Two bright little tears came into the brown ‘yes, as she stood there and faced Bouncer. “Can't help it,” said Bouncer; “Lucy Camp told me, she did! I can’t help it!” “Lucy Camp!” cried Perley. “Well, I shouldn’t have thoaght you would have done such a thing! When I've often and often given a treat of every single speck of a thing I’vi And ‘twas only yesterday that you too! an awful big bite of my ju-jube paste, so I didn't od hardly a bit myself. I shoulda’t think you'd ve said such a dreadful thing!” ““O Perley!” cried Lucy, rushing up to her. “T didn’t really aud truly believe it. Cam Pit- Kin told me ‘twas so. Don’t be mad at me, Per- dey!” and Lucy wrung her ,little hands, while the tears chased each other down her fat ek. “How did Cam Pitkin know, pray tell!” cried Perley. ‘He don’t live anywhere near our bot and I never see him except at school. How ieee know whether I eat apple-tarts or tongue ess I do know,” exclaimed “the Pitkin boy.” “Gunnle Halstead told me so this very morning, she did! You can ask her so yourseif if you want to find out: “Well, I declare,” sald Perley. “This is Worse than I thought! Now, who told you, Gunnie?” “Twas Boodle!” cried Gunnie, in a shriek. “Your own cousin, Boodle Copps—there! And he told me yesterday—there! I don’t care any- ae: about your old tart, only he said so— ere 1” “Boodle!” gasped Perley, glaring at a small boy whose chubby face was a sight to behold, from its efforts to keep back the tears that threatened every moment to pour down in tor- rents. “T didn’t—I did’—he began. ‘(Oh dear me! now you won't give me any candy next time you get any! I ‘most know she won’t!” he cried, in distress, turning around to the group; and down the shower of tears fell. “Candy!” said Perley. “I guess you won't tany from me, after being Such a naughty Foy. ‘Kow tell me just what you said, and why you said it. “ Boo—hoo—hoo:” he wailed. I thought you—boo-hoo!—did e oh dear—boo—hoo—hco—‘cause “ Go on!” said Perley, with a shake. “"Cause I went over to see Johuny an’ get him—oh dear—boo—hoo—to gimme a piece, an’ he said he didn’t have any—oh—boo, hoo, n00o— do let go!” “ And a very good reason why,” “ and that very weil proves why sibly have eaten it he “Oh dear me!

What she thought, noone knew. “I'll go there after school,” she said to herselt nd Pi get him some candy with my five cents, poor lit- fellow!” And then she fell to studying “It's too bad,” said Jane Fletcher,coming Into the house just’as the amily were sitting down to dinner. “Boodle Copps is sick. Motifer, can’t Iget him some gum drops? He wanted some candy so bad yesterday.” “ Did he?” exclaimed her mother. ‘Well, the child shall have it, such a good little creature as he is, I'm sure!” ahd she got up and went into the bed room. When she came out, she put into Jane's hands anew 10-cent plece. “Oh goody!” cried Jane. “I'm a+ right down now, this very minute!” and she flew out of the door like a flash. Candy?” said Bouncer. ‘ How's a fellow to it, that hasn’t a cent to hisname. I b’lieve "d get well if he only had some. I know!” He ran up stairs, two at a time, and presently dashed down again and out of the house, with @ brilliant butterfly, the loveliest of his colle tion, in hishand. Walking rapidly, he reached the house of a playmate, where he went in. When he came out it was with a sober face. There was no butterfly in his hand, but in its place was a bright silver coin, and he did not stop until the candy shop was reached. “I just as lives take a quarter out of my money,” said “the Pitkin boy,” standing tn Mr. Drops’ little candy store; “father’ll give m2 plenty more.

The only objection made to beds of spring bulbs is that be beautiful beyond descrip- ion while the bulbs are in flower, the time of blooming is short, and thereatter the beds look bare and are not available for other purposes. ‘This fault can be overcome by a little manage- ment and the use of such bulbs as bloom suc- cessively. The following arrangement has proved successful with us for several years: Make around bed ot any size, and plant an inner circular row of crocuses, and next dutside @ row Of hyacinths; then a second row of cro- euses, and next one of tulips. Continue this until the bed is filled—making every second Tow crocuses, and alternating hyacinths and tulips between them. The row on the extreme edge must be crocuses, and the space inside of the firssrow should be tilled with tulips and hyacinths. The effect of a bed thus prepared 48 extremely pretty for a iong tme, and, thus arranged, {i may remain undisturbed two or three years.

He seemed on the verge of expressing a forcible opinion forcibly. There was a signifi- cant pause. Then his severity faded away, his dignity relaxed and he chuckled: “The fact of the matter Is,” he sald, “one of the giraffes out at the Zoo has an acute attack of bronchitis. His throat’s sore all the way down. That's what the plaster’s for. Now, then, let’s have it.” And then the puzzled apothecary saw day- light and set about manufacturing the largest mustard plaster that the world has ever known. Philadelphia Times. Flowers and Feathers. SOME OF THE PRETTY THINGS TO BE PUT UPON THE SPRING BONNETS. (Harper's Bazar.] A chapter might be written on the old-fash- Joned flowers that artistic dressing has brought into use. Those with yellow and red shades predominate, and include the marigold, sun- flower, dandelion, buttercups, carnations, asters, dahlias and other stiff-petaled flowers; chrysaa- themums, poppies and peontes—not of the largest: sizes—are copied to perfection, and the great crushed roses without follage are shown in every shade that nature has ever presented them, fromthe palest tea-rose to the darkest red damask roses. The large flowers are com- mended for corsage bouquets; but tasteful mil- liners know that the most graceful trimmings for bonnets are made up of fine flowers, such as heliotrope, myosotls, mignonette, violets and pansies, with merely one or two large flowers to give the rich coloring required now by fashion. Ostrich feathers come tn the three small tips that represent the three nodding feathers of the Prince of Wales, and are now tn different shades of one color rather than in the contrasting col- ors that were too much in the feather-duster style; these are very handsome when showing ¢ream, Tuscan and [Sabelle shades or else graded from beige to pheasant brown, or from peari to heliotrope. These nodding plumes are chosen for Tuscan and chip hats, while for the more fulldress lace bonnets are the lght, fluffy mars about feathers of a delicate hue tipped on tie edges with cashmere colors. For walking bou- nets in turban shape, and for round hats, are stiff feathers—mounted breast feathers and wings—that pass around the front and sides of the crown and entirely trim the hat fn the way so popular during the winter. Pheasant’s brown feathers and those of the Guinea-hen are used for these, while others combine the blue-green Lophophore and gold cyes of peacocks’ feathers to form cashmere colors and Japanese combina- tions. Quantities of tiny green bugs and beetles are set ubout on these feathers, and again the feathers form buttertles, rosettes or thistles. Wanted a Valentine—A Conversa- tion ina Bookstore. The Dubuque Zelegraph of recent date said: A young man from the country stepped into Al- Jen & Taylor's corner book store this morning, and after gazing vacantly about for some time, inquired, “Got any valentines?” “Certainly, sir,” sald the proprietor. many do you want?” “Oh, Idunno. How do you sell ’em?” “They are going very chen just now, as we've got a large stock on hand and don’t want to carry them over. Step this way and look at them.” He stepped up to the collection of samples and after looking over them for a long time he pointed to one representinga young lady with a huge mouth, a wart on her nose, three teseth (a and feet larger than fiddle boxes. Her air was red, and a guitar lay in her lap. She Was in the ,act of singing, “Come where my love lies dreaming.” “How much is that un?” he asked. “Seven cents,” was the reply. “Seven cents! Gosh, 1s all? Now you just wrap that ere picture up quicker’n scat. That's just the one I’ve been a lookin’ for.” The valentine was speedily encased in a piece of tissue paper, and, as he received it from the merchant’s hand, he remarked confidingly: “You see, I've got a gal out here ta the coun- try, or ruther I hain’t got her so much as I used to have, cos another feller’s got her now.

He hid tn- vited them to dine with him, and they cam? in frock coats, checked trowsers and without gloves. Bares surveying their costumes, he remarked: ‘Oh, I see you have quite mistaken the style of my dinner; itis not a simple fam- ily affair at all, but a formal entertainment. So I shall give orders to my cook to put it off for half an hour so as to give you gentlemen time to go home and dress!*” “They would hardly have received even so delicate a reproof as that in America,” I re- marked. “If our society people have oné weak- ness Above another, it is for titled Englishmen. ‘The rudeness they will meekly endure at their hands Is some! beyond belief.

Andis it not on record how Lady Sparkleby, at a dinner party, which was given to her by ‘the wife of one of our leading citizens, exclaimed, on having a ate of terrapin placed before her: ‘Oh, take he nasty stuff away—I cannot endure the sight of it!’ And did not Sir Diggiesby Digzes attend sundry grand dinner parties at Newport in a black velvet morning coat?

The frequency of attacks of aural inflamma- tion from bathing demands more than a mere mention, for complete deafness may result from the injuries to the ear from this cause, and par- tial impairment ts juent. These injuries from bathing are mainly due to the fact that man is not afforded the protection to the ear which amphibious antmals possess, and hence the water may act injuriously in various ways. In surf bathing the mere force of contact, when the water flows into the ear, may injure the tympanic membrane, and when an incoming wave dashes against the face, water may freely enter the mouth or nose, and thus driven into the ears through the Eustachian tubes. The presence of cold water for a long time in the canal leading to the ear, as when much diving is done, may set up in: flammation in the canal or in the tympante membrane, which may extend to the drum cavity itself. Ill effects may be produced by allowing the ears, head, and body to dry in a current of air after coming out of the water. Sea-water is probably more obnoxious than fresh, on account of its comparatively low temperature, and the large quantity of salt It holds in solution, A jong continuance in the water should be avoided. The Russlan bath should not be taken without protecting the ears when the cold plunge Is used. Diving is, how- ever, the most dangerous practice connected with bathing, for it is difficult to keep water from entering the ears, or nose and mouth. In diving, the pressure of water on the tyr ic membrane from without may cause vertigo. Even syringing the ears gently is known In some instances to occasion decided dizziness.— Dr. Samuel Serton, in Harper's Magazine, The Better Spelling. The new fashion in spelling, says Professor David Swing, of Chicago, seems at first glance like acruel slaughter of shade trees and pet birds and the family dog, but if one will look at the matter salmly he will see that it 1s no de- struction at all, but ts really an improvement of the old house, a trimming of the hedge, a mending of all the old fences, a making of a turnpike where there has been too tong a mud- road, and the hanging of a neat gate where our fathers were wont to let down heavy bars. We ought to make a distinction between mere feel- ings and reasonable feelings, for if we have permitted ourselves to become so attached to an old wooden plow that we would net exchange it for the best stecl one, we are not persons of deep feelings but rather of deep babyhood and stupidity.

[San, Francisco Chronicle.] ‘There is hardly a town on the coast in which Chinese lotteries do not exist, elther as a local affair, or as one of the agencies of large lotteries of the kind in San Francisco. The tickets are square slips of paper, on which are printed 89 letters, these letters being the last in the Chi- nese first reader, or ‘Gin Chee Cho,” as it 3 called. These tickets are for sale at all of the Chinese stores, and can be purchased for any price from ten cents to two dollars, the amount of the prize drawn depending upon the price paid for the ticket. When the ticket is bought the purchaser chooses ten letters on it, by mark- ing them out with a pen, and upon these tea his chances depend. The drawing ts conductel as follows: Eighty squareslips of paper, eavi. bearing one of Ure letters upon the tckeis, are pasted by one corner upon a large board used forthe purpose. After being thus pasted and fouhd to be correct, they are next put into a large pan and thoroughly mixed. From this pan they are transferred to four porcelain bowls, 20in each bowl. Four slips of paper, marked respectively 1, 2,8 and 4, are next placed in the bowl and one drawn out, which indicates the bowl of tickets to be used in the drawing. Atter determining this the 20 tickets in the bow! indl- cated are taken outone by one and repisted upon the large board, a calier announcing each letter as it is drawn, and the clerks recording if. Out of the 20 letters drawn, if the holder of a chance isso fortunate asto have, marked off ten upon his ticket, he secures a large prize, Tanging from $1,000 to $3,000, and even $10,000, according to the money invested In the Ucket.

(London Trath.] In England, where young men . and maidens who have attained their ity are not bound to ask for parental in order to marry, one would think that elopements were seldom excusable; but parental authority can make it- self felt in many unpleasant ways, which times force: ee ae — Lepr Say that a very deep! ve aman whom her fiends dislike. She knows that if she mentioned his name in the family circle it would lead to scoldings, maledictions, and petty persecutions without number. Itis not every girl who has the moral cou to face this kind of thing; besides which, as the endurance of it could bring about no good result, seeing that a girl who is dependent on her parents for su ort Reet Larter a eed a their unless they please, elopement suggests itself as the only solution of the diMicuity. ft ts, at the best, but a very sorry expedient, and one which, it may be presumed, few girls adopt without reluctance. To slink out of a house bridesmaids or friends; then to start off on the honeymoon tour with the feeling that one has quarrelied for life with father, mother, brothers and sisters—this is a measure which can only be undertaken with anything like lightness of heart by avery thoughtless girl or by one of the highest spirits. It has been no- ticed, however, that the girls who have happy homes elope more easily than those who have been much bullied by their friends, and this ts only natural, for the latter fear the wrath of thelr family most. The happy girl, who for once meets a resistance to her wishes to which she has not been accustomed, frets under the curb like a restive filly, and, deciding to bolt, reflects that she shall be able to make matters all right with her friends by-and by. But the girl who has been brought up under harsh rule by strong minded parents is aware that she must expect implacable resentment as the penalty. for dis- obedience. If she nerves herself to elope, she will only take this step with fear and tremb- lng; and years of her after life may be sp2nt in atic sorrow at being unable to effect a recon- ciliation with parents whom she will be taught. to believe she deeply injured. These second acts of the elopement dramas are often more un- pleasant for the actors; and the third ones which are apt to culminate in disinheritance, are less agreeable still, but these chiefly concern the men. Men elope for reasons-which will not always hear such close looking into as those which girls can ge in their defence. A young man of good character, industry and fair professional prospects has so many points in his favor when urging his suit, he 1s so sure to bear down pa- rental opposition in the end, provided he be brave, constant and patient, that an elopement in bis case must generally be taken as an indi- cation of weakness. Men elope from vanity, wishing to prove that they are their own mas- ter’s; from deficient courage when they “hate rows;” from shame when they have got en- tangled with girls who are much their inferiors is social station; and from cunning greed when they wish to secure heiresses. Elopements In view of mesailiances are the commonest things folng. They seldom lead to much good, because if a young gentleman has espoused ‘a house- maid, he may possibly obtain torgiveness from his friends, but he ts not likely to get leave to introduce his wife into his family circles. Asa consequence he must expect conjugal tiff's,scenes of weeping and hysterics,followed up by a choice between quarreiling with his kinsfolks or seeing lis wife take French leave of his roof. I knew an unfortunate man who, to the disgust of his connections, mostly personages of high rank, married a barmaid. He became reconciled with his mother after awhile, but he was unable to prevail upon her to receive his wife, who there- upon began to vex his soul with orders to be more zealous in interceding for her. At lastthe mother relented, that her son might have peace, and aday was appointed for the two ladies to meet. They sat {n glum silence for the first few minutes of their interview; then epigrams were exchanged, then recriminations, till the voices growing shriller and shriller, a scene of shrieking words ensued, the whole concluding witn fainting fits and with the deep disgrace of the husband. who found he had estranged both his wife and his mother. Men have generally this advantage in thelr elopements, that when the wife’s family pardons, the husband ts forth- with admitted into it. To be sure, this privilege may not be worth much when it introduces a man of delicate nerves into a distinguished circle of persons who privately scorn him; nor when it procures him the honor of being ad- a as “Cousin Dick” by the costermonger Selling bloaters outside his club. Nogeneral rule can be laid down asto the propriety or tmpropriety of elopement. Every separate case must be judged on its merits. It, on the one hand, parents often throw too much water on the flames of a firstlove, it must be re- membered that the experience of elderly people is worth something in forming auguries about a marriage, and that, moreover, the prohibitive “No” ts often pronounced under the sincere be- lief that the young ple who want to get married are not so seriously in love with eac! other as they appear to be. It 13 but seldom that parents will remain obdurate when they see that a mutual attachment has stood the ‘Wear and tear of years, and that real manapne ness is caused to the lovers by withholding from them permission to marry. I had written thus far when a lady to whom Thad been read- ing this little essay asked me whether I consid- ered that any girl was bound to languish for ‘years’ simply to convince puzzle headed friends that she had made a good choice in her love. “Life is too short,” added my fatr critgc, “for us to fling our best years away in that fashion. Of course, if people are in love they ought to mar- Ty anywhere and anyhow, without caring for anybody. Be ‘That is the way to be happy fo this I have nothing to add, except that the postulate which lays down that happiness is the inevitable result of a love match has in ita ee novelty, and conveys, by the by, a most delicate compliment to the fair critic’s husband.

O'BRIEN DEAD, FAIR'S BRAIN SOFTENED, AND MACKAY HARD AT WORK. [New York Sun.) The report that the bonanza kings of Califor- nia are going to remove their San Francisco headquarters to New York has not been con- firmed thus far and is not likely to be. Since the death of O’Brien the control of the immense interests of the concern has devolved upon the surviving partners, of whom one, Mr. Fair, is Said to be suffering from an nee softening of the brain, and another, Mr. Flood, seems be inclined to attend chiefly to his personal com- fort and to the approaching wedding of his daughter with the son of Ex-President Grant: The burden of work falls mainly upon the shoulders of J. W. Mackay, whose wife is sald to have cat for the portrait of Mrs. John Bryan in Mrs. Lucy Hooper’s new novel, “Under the Tricolor.” The novel is likely to have a con- siderable succes de curiosite, ow! to the fact that nearly all of the characters In It are sketches of members of the Americans colony in Paris. Mrs. John Bryan takes the lead among them and is made very attractive. But still more in- teresting would it have been to have the ob- verse of the medal—a novel portraying the type of the husband of Mrs. Bryan, the Irish-Ameri- can who sends her and her three children to Paris to lead a princely life, and who himselt works in the depths of the Nevada mines trom 6 o'clock In the morning until 6 o’clock in the oat That a man who has nothing or little to eat should be willing to work 2.800 feet below the surface 1s thought quite natural ; but that a man who has fifty or sixty millions of dollars should do so is a psychological phenomenon, the the solution of which calls for something more than a filmsy novel written ina ladylike style. ee 1 8 80 THE RE Wer Ares 1 8 80. OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. . THE EVENING STAR THE WEEKLYISTAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. The EVENING STAR, (on Saturday’s a double Sheet or eight page paper of fifty-six columns, the size of the New York dailies), is everywhere recognized as the leading newspaper of Wash- ington. With two exceptions only, if has the largest circulation of any daily paper published south of New York, AND MORE THAN DOUBLE THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY. Every issue of THE STAR 1s carefully read not only by the citizens of Washington and ad- jacent cities, but by the throngs of strangers constantly visiting the National Capital on business or for pleasure, (and who constitute, in a very large degree, the purchasing popula- tion of évery State and Territory in the Union), thus making it for most purposes THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES, Its influence as an agent of publicity has in- deed practically no limit within the boundaries of the country. The best evidence of this is the number of new advertisewents it printed in the year 1879, which reached 20,636, averaging from 1,700 to 2,000 per month in the busy season!! These figures include only the sub- ject of the advertisement, and not any change of the matter, which, in some instances, ismade daily, and, although a new advertisement in fact, is hot counted but once, instead of 310 pup- lication dajes. The advertising books are open to the inspection of adveftisers to verify this Statement, or an affidavit of its truthfulness will be submitted.
