VI. GODWIN & SON.
You may have noticed the very ar
tistic gold and silver “tips nnd heels”
which are displayed for sale in the
shop windows. You may even have
bought a pair for use upon your even
ing slippers.
Well, the brides of the season, who
are nlways on the lookout for some
thing new. have turned the beautiful
filagree shoe decorations Into a real
feature of the wedding and the wed
ding trousseau.-Instead of using them
merely ns finishing touches for the
bridal slippers, they are used through
out the honeymoon in many novel
ways.
For wedding occasions silver lips
and heels are generally chosen, as
they harmonize better with the white
gowns which a bride usually wears.
Tlie tips nnd heels are fastened upon
her satin slippers nnd are permitted to
flash and gleam ns tiiey peep out from
underneath her gown In the long
bridal walk up the church aisle.
After the ceremony, ns the bride
dons her traveling dress, the silver
shoe Iriinniings are quickly pinned
upon her traveling shoes and are
worn on tin first day of the honey
moon ns the "something new,” wliieli
every bride must wear for luck.
Later they are pot upon the slippers
which the bride wears at her first re
ception. And when she lias worn
them on all the important occasions
which grace the first season of the
bride’s life, the silver tips and heels—
the emblems of good luck—are taken
off to be put nwny with the bridal veil
and a rose from the bridal bouquet.
If one might peer into the future,
the silver tips and heels might be
seen adorning a debutante’s slippers,
and, perhaps, in time they may be “the
something of mother’s own,” which
every girl loves to wear upon her wed
ding day.
The Offertory.
The offertory occasionally yields Its
humors. I can see no fun myself in
dropping into the plate buttons or pep
permint drops or gilded farthings. But
these and other such like votive offer
ings occasionally come our way. On
one occasion a mild hint was given to a
dirty looking verger when a small coin
was carefully wrapped up in a hit of
paper inscribed, “Fora bath for a prom
inent church officialOn another occa
sion, when the officiating clergyman had
been somewhat bungling througli a dif
ficult lituny, a similar piece of paper was
marked, “For a singing lesson for the
curate."
After a somewhat rambling discourse
from one of my colleagues, who shall of
course he nunielcss. tile church warden
told me that a man at the bottom of the
church, when he offered him the plate,
took out a sixpence and looked at it rue
fully, and then cust it in with the re
mark, “Well, you sliull have it, old fel
low, but it’s a deal more than that Berinon
was worth."—Cornhill Magazine.
Drllllautly Colored Flail.
The bottom of the ocean is magnifi
cent with its starfish and sea pad: Boms
in rich purple and shedding a soft
golden green light, while others send
ont silver flashes, and the lamp fish car
ries on its head at night a golden light
Another fish seems to he decorated with
pearls, and it is evidently the fashion
there to be brilliant in some way. Even
crabs in hot climates seem to set them
selves on fire, and when captured and
teased they blaze all over with indigna
tion.
A species of the shark, too, is intense
ly brilliant at night, and one that was
drawn up shone like a splendid lamp for
some hours after it was dead. Natural
ists have long been at work on this
cnrlons subject, and the source of the
illuminating power is supposed to be
contained in little sacks or cells in the
body of the animal.—Harper’s Young
People.
A Cheap tloup.
A brilliant Belgian, “realizing the
growing popularity of vegetarian diet
and the desire to avoid meats as a food,”
patented the idea of making a soup from
water, into which should be put a tea
spoonful of Peruvian guano. This tie
coction, lie said, would give strength
and possessed remarkable nourishing
qualities. He failed to say, however
whether or not ho was a vegetarian.'—

Punlfthtnent Without Anger*
We need hardly emphasize the im
portance of guarding jealousy
against all displays of temper while
inflicting punishment. No doubt
this is difficult with refractory chil
dren, but Huch a degree of self gov
ernment as will enable parents or
teachers to avoid the .angry moment
is nevertheless requisite for success.
A case which illustrates this point
was that of a boy who was beaten
about the back and baud tlie day fol
lowing a school misdemeanor. Singu
larly enough, he injured his head
next day, and being at the time in
poor health, though believed to be
(veil, died in a week from tubercular
Meningitis.
At once his teacher was blamed,
out proof being brought that the
chastisement inflicted was deliberate,
orderly and proportionate, though
tlie moans employed \V6re not quite
regular, he was entirely exonerated
at a subsequent inquest. It would
indeed in many cases render the
duties of a schoolmaster as barrel,
os difficult if he were not allowed a
reasonable freedom In physical cor
rection. The possible occurrence of
such incidents as the above must,
however, impress what we have said
as to method in its application.—Lon
don Lancet.
Variation* of thr Com puns of Columbus.
As the astuto Genoese well divined
the dread which the ever increasing
distance was certain to arouse, he
kept two logbooks, one for himself
nnd the other for tlie crew. In the
former he recorded the actual run,
in the latter a lesser distance, by
which device be diminished the fears
and restrained the impatience of his
susceptible shipmates. But in doing
this an unforeseen complication arose.
Their sure guide, the compass, that
ever hod pointed fixedly to tho
north, began to waver. Although
this phenomenon hod been known
for two centuries—though many say
it hod never been observed until
then—the crow gave themselves up
tor lost nnd imagined that for them
even tho fixed point was shifting, as
though God had cast them off. Co
lumbus recognized the necessity of
explaining this phenomenon as he
had explained volcanoes. But the
explanation was not easy, for while
the volcanoes were like others al
ready known it was impossible to
understand or explain the variation
of-the needle by any familiar fact or
experience.— Eptilio Castelar in Con-
l ®T’ ’ -
On the Best Authority.
A story is told of a trial for bur
glary in which one of the jurymen
seemed to be so certain of the prison
er's innocence, and pleaded for him so
eloquently and so convincingly, that
the eleven others (who had no par
ticular bias either way) allowed
themselves to be argued into return
ing a verdict of "not guilty.” A few
days later fresh facts come to light
which proved the accused man’s in
nocence beyond a doubt, and one of
the eleven wavering jurymen hap
pening to meet with the man who
had so powerfully influenced them
all thanked him warmly for having
saved them from the commission of
a great injustice.
“And yet, now I think of it," he
added, “you could not have known
then anything about these new facts,
so how could you be so sure the
man was innocent! 11
“Well," replied the other, “my
chief reason for thinking that he did
not commit tho crime w«s that I
committed it myself.”
Such authority was certainly not
to be disputed.—Harper’s.
Ch iragei In Boston*
What a strange turnabout it would
be if the magnificent houses on Com
monwealth avenue and thereabout
should in course of time he aban
doned by the aristocratic portion of
society and should degenerate by
successive stages, os the once elegant
residences at the north end have
done, until they became rookeries
for the swarming poor! The north
end aristocrats as little dreamed of
the degradation of their mansions as
do the Back Bay householders to
day. The Charles, as it smells to
heaven at low tide, is enough to dis
courage fashion from dwelling on
those borders; hut she has a good
firm footing thero at present, with
no notion of folding her tent.—Bos

In tlie fall of 1890 G, C. Sexsmith, a
farmer living near Atchison, Kan., found

It is stated as remarkable that in most

SELLING ORANGES AND LEMONS.
dll Queer Cntnlognns Which Kl«raid
thf Qualities of the Fruit.
Perhaps the funniest styles of ad
vertisement ever seen, in modern
times at least, ore the catalogues is
sued for the sales of Italian fruit
when a cargo arrives at the Union
rtores or at the Mediterranean piers.
As soon os all of the fruit is out of
the hold the boxes of oranges and
lemons aro arranged in lots, accord
ing to their marks, in lines along the
pier. Then one or more boxes are
opened as samples, and a pretty
sight tiiey make. The warm, vivid
southern imagination at once dis
plays itself in the gorgeous wrap
pings and adornments which help to
set off the fruit.. Rosettes of colored
paper and tinsel are interspersed.
The packings are of varicolored
papem and the higher classes of fruit
ore enveloped in gold or Bilver paper.
Each box is set off with one or more
of the distinctive marks of the ship
per. Mighty queer marks some of
these are. There are lighting cocks,
ballot girls in all kinds of costumes,
race horses nnd riders. One mark
of this class hears the motto, “The
Bard, Freddie Archer Up,” the ship
per evidently oblivious of the fact
that Fred Archer has long Bince
joined the silent majority. There
are archers with bended bows and
riflemen at tho present There is
scarcely Rn idea that can be thought
of, indicative of supreme excellence
according to the Italian idea, that is
not brought into requisition.
Among the boxes, armed with
these catalogues of marks and the
number of boxes, move the dark
eyed, swarthy fruit merchants of
every grade. When all tho fruit has
been duly inspected and each buyer
has made up his mind as to what lot
or lots ho will bid for, and marked
his estimate of the value on his cata
logue, the show ceases. Busy coopers
set to work, the scattered lemons
and oranges on the floor ore replaced
in the .boxes, which ore closed and
coopered up. Then a rush is made
across the East river to the sales
room, which is situated . on State
street
Here there is an immense crowd
of venders, and the bidding is some
times that and furious when a choice
lot is up for sale. The purchaser of
one hot has the option of taking the
entire lot, or as many as he wishes
ftt that. price. Fierce are the looks
and ggitures indulged in, and there
is no bettor, place to study the fiery'
Italian character than at these sales.
Most of the buyers are well dressed
men, evidently wholesale merchants
in a more or less extensive way.
The amount of. fruit discharged in
Brooklyn during the Jrear Is enor

The Greatest Hlateke ot All*
Some people have an unfortunate
propensity to brood over what they
call the' ‘mistakes’’ of their lives. It
arises from false estimate of human
judgment and on overstrained idea
of tiie responsibility of their actions.
A conscientious woman of middle
age wrote to a friend, “I am glad to
be spared a longer life, that I may
spend it in repenting my pest mis
takes.” To spend one's time in lament
ing past mistakes seems the worst
mistake of all. Life is short at the
longest There is little time to
dream of doing, less to mourn over
what has been done. To act, to act
quickly, to act up to our best in
stincts and higher aspirations, is all
we can do. It is all that is expected.
After that our responsibility ceases,
and the final result belongs only to
God.
The good woman above quoted had
always acted according to her best
judgment But, being human judg
ment, it was fallible. Being human,
she could not foresee the conse
quences of her actions, but could
only do as seemed right at the time.
Now if she was called upon to act to
day. what better could she do than
that? Then why regret that she so
acted before?—Harper's Bazar.

Talismans In War.
v
It was not at all unusual for sol
diers and others who were exposed
to danger to wear talismans by way
of protection. A story which gained
credence is told of a soldier in the
time of tho Prince of Orange. He
was a Spanish prisoner, nnd on being
condemned to be shot it was found
that he was invulnerable. The sol
diers stripped him to see what land
of armor he wore, but it was discov
ered that he was not protected in
that way, but an amulet on which
was the figure of a lamb was found
on his person. This was taken away
from him, and the shots took effect,

furniture may create an impression
of departed prosperity, or it may
indicate a refined taste for antiqui
ties. It all depends upon how old
the style is, aud what the iashion-
may be, for there is a style just be
twixt and between, which is not old
enough to be antique and not new
enough to be modern. It is just as
necessary to follow the fashion in
furniture as in dress, and we all
know what a sight a man is with a
plug hat of the vintage of 1870.
You don’t want the band running
