Even plainly conducted households, long aprons are worn by the nurse and also by the maid who act as_ waitress. For afternoon teas colored silk, plain and brocaded, is the fabric for the apron so often worn by the young ladies who are seated at the dainty afternoon tea tables, A pretty apron for fancy work is made cf silk,deep hem stitched around with a feather stitch or embroidered and pocket ten inches deep. For general wear, around the house house keepers wear aprons of a two- thirds length of lawn, nanisook or dimity,finished with a hem four inches deep and a cluster of tucks, divided in threes with insertion between. It is well for thelartist to cover the entire dress with an apron of brown Holland or gingham. Trimming seems out of the place, though white braid is Very pretty on such aprons. White aprons of cambric or nainsook, made of a centre front with gored sides, reaching nearly to the foot of the dress isused by the dressmakers, The clerk and typewriter use fast black cambric pr sateen aprons. They are simple in construction and must be fast’ black to prevent staining. Striped and checked gingham of two! breadths simply hem with a belt and! string form a good kitchen apron, Striped gingham aprons trimmed with | a bias band of the goods are a little more Ornamental and may be used for sewing.

Bach white band represent stiver, and denotes 100 francs per anuum, while each yellow band denotes gold, and betokens 1,000 francs a year.

Lis. BACKWOODS PIETY. How a Country Preacher Rose Superior to the Temptations of Satan. She was from the country, but she didn’t intend to take back water on that account if she could help it. Piety was the subject of discussion, and Sis- ter Jane, who lived in a town that made some pretensions to being con- sidered a city, had been expatiating on the immaculate righteousness of Par- son Jenkins. Sister Melinda bided her time until her innings came round, and then took the floor. “I don’t mind allowin’,” she said, “that Parson Jenkins is a powerful re- ligious man, but when it eomes to downright wrestlin’ with Satan, an’ resistin’ his wiles an’ temptations, why, I stands right up in meetin’ an’ says that our Parson Goodfriend can’t be beat by no man. He don’t run a soup kitchen ’cus we don’t have no use for sich things down our way, an’ he don’t go slummin’ ’cus we ain’t got no slums, but he’s always ready for a tussel with the adversary, no matter how many snares and pitfalls he sets , for his feet. “You know, he keeps a maple grove onto his little place, an’ he sets a pow- erful store by ’em. Well, it hadn't been very good sugarin’ weather at the It had been frizzin’ considerable night times, but it hadn’t thawed out any daytimes, an’ the sap hadn’t had a good chance to run. But Parson Goodfriend wuz al- lers a gread hand for takin’ time by the forelock, so he got his holes bored an’ his spouts druv in an’ his buckets set so as ter have everything ready to take advantage of the right sort of weather when it came along. ell, he done that on Wednesday, an’ them trees of his never dripped a drop on Thursday, nor on Friday, nor on Saturday; but on Sunday the sun shone out powerful warm an’ every- thing was a thawin’. An’ when he went to look at his trees on Monday mornin’—'cus, of course, he wouldn't let himself think of them even on a Sunday--he found that his sap troughs an’ buckets wuz just brimful. Then what do you think he done?” “Why, I suppose he did what any other man would bave done,” replied Sister Jane. “He took the sap away to make maple sugar out of it.” “Yes, that’s what Parson Jenkins would a-done, no doubt,” said Sister Melinda, triumphantly, “an’ it just proves what I’m tellin’ these facts for —there ain’t no more pious man livin’ than our Parson Goodfriend. No, he didn’t shout for joy an’ take that sap away, but he just flopped down on his knees right then an’ there an’ he says —it wuz my own cousin what heard hi ‘Get thee behind me, Satan; can’t tempt me with any Lord's sap.’ An’ then he rize up an’ he emp- tied every last drop of the stuff onto the ground, an’ next Sunday he preach- ed the most convincin’ sermon I ever heard on the wiles of the evil one.”— New York Herald. Beauty Within Canyon Walls. One of the most peculiar and inter- esting places on the American conti- nent is just being opened up. The section lies across the diagonal line that forms the southern boundary of the State of Nevada, spreading into California and reaching almost to the line of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail- road. The old forty-niners passed through this section during the Cali- fornia gold excitement. Many per- ished from thirst, and the remains of their wagons, such as the tires and other iron parts, may be found strewn about the valleys. Near Resting Springs a man by the name of Lee has a ranch, an Indian wife, and a family of eight children. Not far from there is what is believed to be the famous Gunsight mine. One of the pioneers, in passing through that section, picked up a piece of lead, almost pure, and made a sight for his gun with it. It was so rich that when he: told the story in civilization pros- pectors started out to locate it. The fact of the similarity of all the valleys led many astray, and they perished from thirst. His description of the spot applied to so many spots that no one has ever been able to accurately locate the mine, but the present own- ers believe they have found it. The valley adjoining that which is the route of the Nevada Southern is called Pahrump. It is described as the principal one of them all for gold and silver and lead mines. Up in the valley, which is one of those dry, bar- ren sand gulches between two perpen- dicular walls of rock, is the Mesquite stamp mill. On one side is the Key- stone goli mine, from which $90,000 has been extracted. Up at the head of the valley is the Montgo1 gold district. Several miles above the mill are the Pahrump springs, where a hardy pioneer has settled in a beauti- ful oasis and reared a family. Those who have visited the family say that away off there, imprisoned by canyon walls and sandy deserts, is the most beautiful woman in the West. She is one of nature’s queens, and her fame for beauty is spreading rapidly sincs civilization placed its foot in the Pab- vump valley. The Pahrump valley has not been noted for its civilization. A band of renegade Indians—a mixture of the Mojaves, Chingowayras and Piutes, all of which inhabit that country—have settled in it. They once had a chief, and when he died his son was the can- didate for the chieftainship. The tribe did not want him, and would not elect him, so they went without a head, but not for long. Tecopa stepped into the job, and has since held it, and is look- ed up to as the chief. Chief Tecopa’s attire consists of a plug hat and an old striped shirt. Once in a while he wears trousers, but very seldom. When Mr. Blake went there, Chief Tecopa said that he owned all that country, and that his consent was nec- essary before any railroads could be puilt. His consent could be bought for a plug hat and a red-striped shirt. These being promised over a pipe, Te- eopa allowed the white chief to pro eeed with his railroad. — Denver Re publiean. ‘An Offset to the Taz on Bachelor. ‘As an offset for the bachelor tax the proposition jhas been made to fine the girls for every refusal; yet the divorce records show the misery they often bring upon themselves by the aecept ance of proposals. menacens be exposed to a cross-fire the ake of those hardened male ose ieaniine Saczeal. a lp.A.

To instantly obtain a light sufficient to read the time by a watch or clock by night, without danger of setting things on fire, is an easy matter. Take an oblong vial of the clearest of glass, put into it a piece of phosphorous about the size of a pea, pour upon this some pure olive oil, heated to the boiling point; the bottle is to be filled about one-third full, then cork tightly. To use the light remove the cork, allow the air to enter, then re-cork. The whole empty space in the bottle will then become luminous, and the light obtained will be a good one. As soon as the light becomes dim its power can be increased by opening the bottle and allowing a fresh supply of air to enter. In very cold weather it is sometimes necessary to heat the vial between the hands to increase the fluidity of the oil, and one bottle will last a whole winter. This ingenious contrivance may be carried in the pocket, and is used by watchmen in Paris in all the magazines where explosives or inflame mable materials are stored.
