They had long ago gained all that stock of wood-lore supposed to be the peculiar right of boys, and were well versed in the habits of all the piants and animals to be found near their home. To-day, after roaming about the woods for several hours, they seated themselves upon the bank of the river and began to inves- Ugate the contents of weir lunch baskets, amusing themselves in the meantime with extravagant stories of imaginary adventures with which to horrify their [riends when they should go home. Just then Mollie discovered some object on the opposite side of a bend in the stream, and just beneath the bank, to which she called Mamle’s attention.

It really proved to be a serlous case. For sey- eral weeks Mr. Russell lingered just on the brink of death. During all that time Mollie was achanged girl. She went quietly about the house, With a pale face and great sai eye;, speaking but few words. and frequently sittiag for hours ata tine without moving or speaking avord. Her parents began to fear that her reascn would be unsettled, and when floally a change for the better took place in Russell's condiiton, they were doubly grateful, for they were satisfied that two lives had depended upon that Issue, AS soon as the young man’s condition would allow it, Mr. Welmutu had him removed to lls own house, in order that he migat receive every attention and comfort.

He enjoyed ber bright conversation and lively sallies; and as her presence seemed to have a beneficial effect. upon him, Mrs. Welmuth told her to go and doto him whatever good she could.

A good idea 1s a long strip of satin cloth to hang against the wall, with a succession of pockets all em- broldered with birds, butterfiles and datsies. Large bags to place opera cloaks in at parties sell off very quickly, and if orders can ob- tained beforehand they should have the mono- gram in the center. Of course the foundation cloth shoula be quiet in color—gray, brown or stone color.

Jn a hall or gentleman's room 1s often re- quired a receptacle for uat and ciothes brushes, butiog-hooks, straps, etc. The most useful basket to hold these odds and ends ts one of those sold at all basket shops for carriage bas- kets. As they have flat backs they can be hung Lo the wall, and may be made very ornamental by the addition of a iluing of colored chintz. ‘The lining must be full, and dnished off round ihe edge by a close ruching of the same mate- rial. Tidies and mats in tied work are easily made. For these a frame is necessary—four pleces of Wood grooved or notched at regular intervals, and arranged so as to fasten at the corners into a square, larger or smalier as may be desired. On ‘this the Wool or cotton is wound back and forth, an equal number of threads to each skein, aud when the square fs filied they are Med at Uie intersections with a needle and thread. Cutting the work from the frame leaves a fringe all around. The mat may be left flat, or the strands, save one, cut across between each knot, in which case it will appear to be formed of fleecy balls strung together. ‘The last mode is pretty for tidies. “This work looks Well fn bright wools, or in red wools aba white tidy cotton mixed. Very staple and convenient screens, because e€acily washed, to 1x to the wall at the back of Washstands may be made by first nalling to the wall @ plece of pink (or any other color) glazed lining about three-quarters of a yard wide and the same length as the washstand. ‘Then take apiece of figured netor muslin half as i again as the ning, aud rather wider, 30 as allow for a gout deep hem at tie top and bot- tom; hem the sides narrowly, and at both top end bottom make a hem one and a half inches wide, and, at the distance of an iach from the top of each hem, run a line of tiny stitches, In each of the spaces thus made run a piece of narrow tape and draw it up untilof the widta required. Children’s tables may be furnished with an infinitude of pretty things. Excellent chatelaines for school children may be made of brown Itnen, trimmed with red braid, or embroidered in crewels, ribbon, velvet, or print. Make first a band for the waist about an inch and a half, then stitch six little fat bands about three-quarters of an inch in width, and attach them carefully to one side of the waistband, and to the other side fasten a small square pocket in such a manner that when the waisband is worn the straps will hang on the left side, and the pocket on the right. At the end of each of the straps must be fastened something necessary for writ , thus a note- book, ink-eraser, pencil, penholder, box of pens, and a penknife or a ruler, may be substituted for the note-book, and the note-book placed in the pocket at the side, Bed pockets of holland, embroidered in for- gel-me-nots, and edged with fringe, are pretty, and children’s Diankets, with just a bunch of cherries embroidered in one corner. Dolls dressed as soldiers and fisherwomen, brides and bables, always sell well. Parasol needlebooks are »made of a small round piece of silk, edged with fringe or narrow lace, in fact, made as much like those at the resent time as possible, lined through with e cashmere, and divided into sections for the different numbers of ii ; the handle is made of a small wooden or ivory knit needle, with a little bow at the top; this is put through theexact center of the circle, which ts then folded to the shape, and a tiny elastic and parents ivory ring added, slipped up to fasten Knitted and crocheted ‘Tam 0’ Shanter” caps in dark blue or cardinal wool, or velvet jockey caps, embroidered with forget-me-nots. Pina- fore dresses made of bright gold-colored satin sheeting, embroidered with poppies, cornflowers and corn, are useful for children. ynbon- ieres always give satisfaction, and with a little ingenuity they may be made up at home. Pro- cure some hamper-like tiny baskets, all them with candied fruits, chocolate, or sweet-, on the top tie a bundle of straws with a colored ribbon, and a smail fairy-like doll, or a toy hen or monkey resting on it, or a cheap smelling bottle, or, for a boy, a clasp-knife.

H The Babies of the World. | {From the London wlobe.} | The writer who called herself ‘Tailda” tn the columns of Za France, has been describing | the varlatians of the baby-type in the chtef na- tons of Europe. The first in her series is na- turally “‘Le Bebe Parisien,” who, whether maie or female, 1s coquettish, graceful, diplomatic, and generous from the very cradie. “Though it loves bon-bons, it will readily sacrifice its sou to the poor.” Its nose is always directed upwards, snif_ing the air. As lis nurse is usuaily & Burgundian, it receives along with its milk a few drops of the generous wine of the country. If a boy, it shows an early in- stivet for kissIng pretty little girls. The ~ Ush “Baby” is a very different creature. It has “museles of steel,” though it Is always shut up Ina nursery with a gourrnante, “It springs out of its bedevery morning into ‘ts cold bath.” Asthe Burgundy drunk by the nurse conditions the Parisian baby, similarly the English baby “reproduces in its counte- nance the beef-steaks eaten by my lord and my lady.” Its voice “resembies the soft piping of an exotic bird,” and its eyes are “great ani transmarine,” whatever the latter quality may mean. It gives few Kisses, aud it gets as few. It Wears earrings of gold, but its clothes are so constructed as to allow it freedom of move- ment and physical development. ‘The German “Kind” is bea , and stifled with clothes. metines a fuiure Werther may be discerned in ti. It qutekty Wearles of other children, “because tt always wants to play at ‘and it howls if tt ts not the General. 3 “the aristocrat among the bab if tt were made of deifcate porcelain; {15 tone of voice freezes the hearer; it seldom plays, be. Cause It 1s too aristocraite to be familar ‘with children pwhom it, does not know.” It ‘sees Its mother” even less frequently than tae Engiish baby does. Its favorite toy isa whip, and 1 Screams because it is not allowed to knout the Tvyants.” ‘The Itallan baby ts “‘a little tire- ‘a Bacchus,’ who will never keep his Shirt on his body.” When if shouts, tne lis- tener might iake it to be declatming verses from Tasso. “ What fs home when papa’s abs sings a Lake county bard.

With two exceptions only, i has the largest circulation Qf any daily paper pubiished 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 every State and Territory in the Union), thus making it for most purpeses THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. Its influence as an agent of publicity has in- deed practically n0 limit within the boundaries ofthe country. The best evidence of this ts the number of new advertisewents It printed inthe 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 {ustances, ts made daily, and, althougha new advertisement in fact, is not counted but once, instead of 310 puo- | Hcation dates. The advertising books are open | to the inspection of advertisers to verity tui | statement, or an afiidavit of its truthfulness | will be submitted, i] THE WEEKLY STAR.—This 1s a double or eight-page sheet, containing fifty-six columns of fresh News, Literary and Agricultural matter every week, and is pronounced by competen Judges one of THE CHEAPEST AND BEST WEEKLY PAPERS IN THE UNITED STATES CLUB RATES FOR THE WEBKLY STAR #77 In compliance with repeated requests from various quarters to hold out some induce- ments to those who wish t@get up subscribers’ clubs for the WEEKLY STAR, we make the following offer: Single Subscriptions, $2.00. 6 copies one year for $9.00, and one copy to the getter-up of the olub. 10 copies one year for $15.00 and one copy to the getter-up of the club. 20 copies ene year $20. #27 It is a condition of this offer that the sub- scriptions of each club shall all commence at the same time, and all go to the same post office.
