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.'— New York News. I’urent&l Training.

(4) 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 ton Commonwealth. In tlie fall of 1890 G, C. Sexsmith, a farmer living near Atchison, Kan., found an ear of corn which showed an odd number of rows of grain—nineteen. It is stated as remarkable that in most ancient statues the second toe is longer than the great foe. The reverse is the case in men of the present time. Amaziuh, king of Jndah,, fled from Jerusalem on the discovery of a con spiracy against him, bat was followed and killed.

(6) | INDSTINCT PRINT | 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 mous; every ship from the Mediter ranean ports brings from 80,000 to 80,000 boxes.,—Brooklyn Eagle _ 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. ED. L. WIGHTS CO., ail WASHINGTON 3T„ ALBANY, Bi, GENERAL INSURANCE AGENTS.

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, —Detroit Free Press. I)y»pep«iK U 4 Lire. Cmplatal.

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.
