It can help, encourage, inspirit. It buoys up the receiver and about him sheds the radiance of j its beneficent lie, iit. It is "twice blessed; it blesses him that gives and him that takes." It is a token of good-will and kindness of nature. A smile is a potent influ ence -for good; it lightens burdens, and to Ihe erring and repentant it is like an extended hand, to cheer on and up lift. ; A smile never fails in its mission. Kven the Hardest face will relax in 'rec ognition of the good-will extended. . Do not grudge this simple but ef fectual means of cheering your fellow creatures along life's rough ways. American Queen. i 'SHE WROTE 5000 HYMNS. Though she has been blind1 since she was six weeks old, Miss Frances Jane t'Tosby, as she is .generally called, i hough .her real name is1 Mrs. Alexan der Van Allstyne, has .written more than 5000 hymns, many of them known all over the world. And though she is now eighty-three years old, rather feeble and totally blind, she still travels to evangelistic meetings in various cities and gves readings and lectures. Her home is in Iiridg?port, Conn. Among the most famous gospel hymns written by Miss Crosby are those beginning:. "Safe iii the Armsjjf Jesus," 'Tass Me Not. Oh, Gentle Saviour," "All the Way; My Saviour Leads Me" and "I Am Thine, Oh Lord; 1 Have Heard Thy. Voice." Save for the. heavy green glasses she is compelled to wear, -there is little in Miss Crosby's manner to' indicate her sightlessness. She reads her notes, printed in raised letters, i with almost imperceptible movements of her fin gers, and turns her head as though glancing about the audience. 'Hymn writing is my life vrork," says Miss Crosoy, "and I cannot tell you what pleasure I derive from it. I believe'I would not live a year if my "work were. taken from toe. A great many people sympathize with me. but, ilchough I am grateful! to them. I relatives to act as deputy ' hostesses. They stop the whole afternoon, devot ing themselves to looking after visitors, effecting Introductions, offering re freshments, and generally promoting the enjoyment of others. They are eas ily known, the outward jand visible sign of the assistant hostbss lying "In the fact that she is without any hat or bonnet.. One of these women often relieves the Imstess for j awhile by standing by the door to receive, so that the latter can give a little individual attention to those she wants to say a word to. The American guest hopes to see his hostess later on, but he does not .worry until he does see her. Our own system has its good 'side in the importance it gives to the imistress of the house, but there is something to be said for the, 'American, plan on the grounds of comfort." Brooklyn Eagle.

Should the wife have an allowance, a definite sum set .apart out of the family income for herself, or should she have; to ask her husband, as if it were char ity, for money with which to buy Jier hats, gloves, ribbons and the thousand and one needful triiles? Men are apt to think that because women do not do the work for which they (the men) are paid, they have no part in earning it, and are sooner or later inclined to ask, 'Where is the quarter I cave vou ves .terday?" j Marriage is a partnership in a special sense, in which the man is generally the bread-winner; but it by no means follows that the woman is merely an ornament or a doll arrayed in pretty dresses or house-gowns. In the ideal home the wife bears her share of the burdens that must come, it would ecm, to all of us. She keeps the house more or less elaborately, according to the circumstances. , If. she has one servant or more, her burdens take other forms than if she did her own work. If clc jms children,! there is the responsibility. -of caring for them and training tlu-m. The mother's influence .ivii ner. etuidren for good or evil is very groat.' If there are' guests at the lysine, sih'i matter of entertainment largely devolve' upon :t He! wife. . Jier clntie:; are mulcIftirior.P. and whcir she hss tlol;e ail, she is cxpeited to be a companion for her husband and "to be inteivsted in 'he things in which he is interested. All this is just as much the contribution -to the hou.-eheid 'happi ness and comfort as the j money the husband" brings home every week. In business .matters the wife should bo treated like a business partner: she should kayo an allowance,! and should not have a false sentiment about asking lor it.-Woman's Home Companion. Marie Hall, aged eighteen, recently made her debut as a violinist in Eng land, and a great future is predicted for lier. Mrs. Marsylla Keith has celebrated her 110th birthday anniversary at her home in Montgomery, W. Va. She was born in South Carolina.; t Mme Sarah Grand is described in an English periodical as being at this time "a bright, pretty woman in the prime of life, with a charming person ality and winning ways." During the past year over forty women have been installed in the offices of architects as assistants, and what, is even more to the point, they are paid' the "-same amount of salary as the men. - Mrs. Nellie Benson, wife of- a colored druggist of Richmond, Va., who passed the Virginia State Board of Pharmacy" examination, is the first colored woman to receive a cert ilk-ate from the board and tiie third one to make the attempt. St. Louis has a real princess for her visiting lists. The distinguished resi dent is Donna Miriam Colli, the Trincess Lignori, whose mother was an American woman and who has come from Italy to bring up her children in America. The German Empress cares far less for jewels than any other European sovereign. IIoveer, she has some very magnificent one?, and when she appears at the, court balls she is re splendent with jewels. Five million marks.- or Lr.OO.OOO. is the rough esti mate on the value of thes gems. 'One woman has made a success of marketing, not for the Avealthy class. but for the woman who has to go to business, yet wants her meals at home. This woman goes every morning to the homo of the busy woman and finds what is needed; then she goes to the large markets, and as i'. sometimes happens some of her customers want, the same thing, she is able to buy large uuautities at considerable-saving to. the consumer. Q3s 'JftV6 AMERICAN HOSTESS. i omnieniinc unon iin practice . of having the hostess at re ceptions assisted in receiving and en -lertainimr hoi- n:fsi- iir A ,V.,,v.i.,. ... .... . tit ih.ij.jli utri fi lends, an Englishwoman says that the fashion is one that might well be copied in her country. "In England," he says, "no matter how large a party may be, ail the guests are on the qui -vive until they have foundjthe hostess. They give a scanty attention to any friends they may meet; they dare Hot bavti tea or settle down iinto a com fortable talk until they have reported themselves, as it were, to then- superior officer. 'First find your hostess.' is the unvarying rule of English etiquette, Jilthough she is too busy iAviion found to do anything more than pbake hands witn a mechanical smile. She remains ' i.rmly fixed by the doorpost at the head of the sbiirs as long as she (ran bear it, so that her quests may get their greeting uiT their minds as soon : - as "they, -come.- Now the American . plan is quite different. When a hostess rives -a large crush over there, she in vltca two or three of hoi- friends or The newest tweeds are flecked with white. The long "silk coat is no longer con sidered smart. Pink is the favorite color for tea gowns just now. Voiles and aeoliennes will bo much worn and will be trimmed with plaid or flowered silks. Coarse canvas will be very popular and will be used for smart little coats, as well as gowns. From present indications the Colonial bow shoe so fashionable last summer will le relegated to second place this year. ' For outing wear this summer white in wash suits will take precedence, while, bright, tints will be quite notice eddy iu woolens. The embroidered belts are things ot beauty. They are often the single fea ture of a tailor suit that distinguishes it from a dozen others. The accordion pleated chiffon waist of the same shade as the skirt revived last autumn still enjoys Dame Fash ion's favor for this season. Pretty tea gowns are made in the Russian style. They arfc generally made of some soft white material and are trimmed with Oriental embroidery. Sleeves made in handkerchief points wiil remain in fashion for a long time. They will be carried out in heavy mate rials, though far more suitable to light ones. The so-called "picture' sleeve is quite popular for house gowns. This is a long, floating model that discloses the whole arm or else the undersleeve of lace or chiffon. Many of the tailors are making a fea ture of fancy stitching. One tailor. who may always be depended upon for originality of design, is using in place of fancy stitching a line soutache braid. One of his recent gowns is of blue veiling, trimmed with blqe silk straps, with av big soutache used in place of stitching." The tassels that have been used go much for the last year have retired and given place to small silk covered balls. These ornaments are generally made by hand and to match an indi vidual suit.- 'They give character to a costume, for although in regard to ma terials suits may be duplicated over anci over again, tit" lriinmiu;; may Irj original. m5"- mi S r Q i -DREN'S DEPARTMENT. i DISHWASHING GAME.

'H ' HOW Tp MAKE A TUBOPIIOXE. The tubophoue isx a musical instru ment very much like an exylopbene. The lattei'. as you know, consists of a number ht bars of wood or metal of different, Isizes, each of which gives its own peculiar note when it is struck. The tuljiophono is easier to construct. All you Ucvd to make one is a number of stiff psastebba.nl tubes such as Tire used fdrj' mailing some illustrated periodica?.. If ! you cannot buy the tubes ut; the stationer's it is an easy matter tbj make; them by bending wet pasteboard about a round stick and gluing iti together. You will want at least eight tubes. The diameter of all should bq the same, and the lengths should bej eighteen, sixteen, fourteen j instrument may be held with one hand and played with the other, but it is., better to fasten the end rods to the backs of two chairs, so that the jwhole: apparatus is horizontal and you can play with both hands if you choose, j The sound made by a paper tube does not seem musical, but a tune played rapidly on a number of tubes has a very good effect. The eight tube in strument will do for a number of sim-j pie tunes, but you can increase itsl range by adding a few tubes at each end. The shortest of the eight i tubes is half as long as the longest, and gives the octave of the note of the longest. So the next noted, the octave of D. requires a tube eight inches long (half; the length of the next to the longest). The next would be seven and three- sixteenths, the next- six and three fourths, and so on. To extend the series at the other end we need tubes of nineteen, twenty-one 1 and one-half inches, and so on. L Again, a twelve and three-fourths inch rube inserted between F and G gives F sharp and a ten and one-eighth inch tube between A and B gives B flat. The addition of these will en able you to play in two more keys (G and F) and to play tunes with sojno "accidentals." Brooklyn Eagle, ) : LIFE OF OVID. Ovid warn Roman poet of the Au gustan age, of equestrian rank, j bred for the bar, and serving the state, in the department of law for a time, threw it! up for literature and a life of pleasure.; He was the author, among other works, of the "Amores," "Fasti,", and j the "Metamorphoses," the friend of Horace and Virgil, and the favorite ofj MISSING SOLDIERS' PUZZLE. 8 mmm Jar w. . w '0 1 .mm l Vol I lLYS. !

Having cut: the tubes to these lengths J you will mad, on holding tnem m turn lightly by t le middle and striking them with your finger, that the shortest tube gives a hollow sound which is just an oqtave higher than the-sound given by the longest tube, and that the others give1 the intermediate notes of the major scale. That is, if you call the longest tube & (though it may not be in tune with C on your piano), the others will 'be D,,E, F, G, A, B, and c the octave of C. Or you may call them do. re, mi. fa, sol, la, si and mark them either) with these names or the letters. Lair the kubes in order on the table and fasten- them together with two cprds of silk, if possible), in the following njianuer: Tie one chid of each cord together, put the longest tube between the cords close to thd knot, and tie the cprds to gether again on the other side of the tube. Theij make another knot a half inch further along the cords before you tie in the second tube. The idea is to have tvjo knots and a little cord between eaph two" -tubes to keep them well apartJ This is for the middle cord or coitls. For those at the ends of the tubes on'e knot between each two tubes will suffice. In the same way fastens two wooden rods, which are to servo as handles, to the longest and shorteit tubes or better tie the Augustus, but for some unknown rea son fell under the displeasure of the latter, and was banished in his fiftieth year, to end. his days among the swamps of Scythla. near the Black Sea.
