Baby ’3 Diary for One Day- Wakcd up as usual at 3 o’clock in the morning, and cried until everybody else in the house was awakened. Then I went to sleep again. Was aroused once more at 6 o’clock by a fly dancing on my face. I tried to hit him, and orilyuuccceded in slapping myself so hard that I had to scream. I screamed until every body decided to dress, and when they were readylfor breakfast. halfan hourbeforebreak- fast was ready for them, I fell asleep. My breakfast was served at 8 o’clock. I don’t think the cook can be much good, for I never had anything but milk for breakfast, dinner or any other meal since I can remem- ber. After breakfast I saw my big brother playing with a jumping~jack. As I wanted it myself, I cried until nurse made brother give it n . Then brother began to cry, and because was sorry for him I cried too. Had lunch at 10 o’clock (same as break- fast). Went out riding afterwards in my carriage, and cried all the way home because nurse wouldn’t let me have a nice big black doggic to carry. He was a lovely doggie, and when I screamed be barked, so I screamed real hard lots of times. It was great fun. Got. so tired screaming that I went to sleep. At 12 o'clock waked and had dinner (some as breakfast and lunch). Momma played on the piano and sang to - me. When I tried to sing she laughed, and as I don’t like to he laughed at, I cried. Nurse said I was a cry-baby, and Icried all the time at everything, but I don’t agree with her. I never cry now at meal-times, because I tried it once and found I couldn’t eat and cry at the same time, so gave it up. I have all night to cry in if I want to, and I can’t out then. Had lots of fun. Pulled nurse’s hair, then pulled mamma’s hair. It wasn’t so much fun when I tried to pull brother’s hair, for he slapped my hands. I didn’t like that, so I cried. Then brother laughed, and I cried harder, and then brother was sent away. I cried harder than ever at this. for I wanted to play with brother. Had supper at three o’clock (same a breakfast, lunch and dinner). Got mad and dropped the bottle, and cried because I couldn’t have any more supper as the bottle was broken. I have discovered that bottles break. Hooray ! Tried to tell nurse about my discovery, and nurse said, “ Poor ’ittle sing.” I wasn’t 1'. “ sing,” I’m not “ ’ittle,” because there’s no such word, and I’ll never be “ poor,” so I cried. From 4 until 5 I made a new record. I generally cry at half past 4 every day, but to-day I didn't. I was asleep. At half past 5 I had the last meal of the day, a new bottle having been procured. I don’t know the name of this meal, but it decsen't make any difference, for it was the same as breakfast, lunch, dinner and sup- per. I Went to bed at 6 o’clock. At 9 o'clock I waked up, and hearing company downstairs cried for some company myself. Mamma came up to me. ll cut to sleep. Didn’t wake up any more that night after I went to sleep the last time until the next tnorning.â€"-[Harpsr's Young People. The Uharm of Pleasantness. Every woman has an inherent longing to be attractive, and if she has not, she should have. For what would this chaos, doubt and strife of our daily warfare be- come, were it not that sweet woman inter- fuscs into it her calming, cheering influ- ences '3 ’ And the natural tribute men pay to woman’s attractive qualities is admiration. If a woman is incapable of appreciating the homage of man, and treats man’s highest gift as though it were vanity, she makes a serious mistake. But how can a girl best gain the love and respect of others? This is an all~itnportant qucry, audit is best answered by aconcrete : _ :suggestion of perfume should be avoided.

Issuers For Oli‘ldrsn- There arc few portions of household training that are more neglected than the education of children in the habits of cat- ing. In the family it. isthe easiest thing in the world to grow careless or indulge in various notices not permiscable in polite society, at, all the same, these habits are turned, and the children, as a natural con- sequence. it up in such ways. It is small won er that when they find it necessary to go out into the world they are ing to unlesrn thebabits of early life. The only excuse for this is when the p..ren!s are themselves totally ignorant of the pgrpriefilfl of life. It is spoor corn- bm, she mm“ mm heart to,stauccs would please the most fastidious. pleuantnessl Hence, whatever part of the closet be re- ‘served for tableâ€"linen. it should be apart l 1’ way that is not open to private travellers. " Portal has secured all the carriers he needs, menton bad manner; when the young person in response toreproof says : “ We always did coat home ” And no parent should permit it to be possible for the child to cast any such reflection on the guardian of its tender years. It is comparatively easy, once the habit of discipline is established, to compel the observance of the rules that govern good society. If parents do not know them, they should realize the neces- sity of learning them before they attempt the tmining of little children. It must be a very unhappy reflection to father and mother when they come to com- prehend the fact that their children are in disgrace because of lack of correct teaching. But this is often the case, and, though chil- dren rarely accuse the parents of being the cause of such unpleasant consequences, there are many instances where young people feel it keenly. It is unquestionably the fact that a good deal of what is complained of by parents as neglect on the part of children comes from the feeling that they have been al- lowed to grow up in ignorance of many things which they should have known, and have experienced so much annoyance and discomfort on this account that they streets, feel sensitive and sore of spirit It] conse- with them a com which maypus a“-3§’and n quence. It- is natural enough to feel a certain de- gree of resentment toward those who are the cause of serious unhappiness or social disgrace, or whether it is the parent or some one else seems to make no difference ; indeed, the responsibility which attaches to that relationship but increases the dis comfiture. Social etiquette classes for the mothers of families might be a departure, but they certainly would be a lasting benefit to the rising generation. House Linen- The present styles in bed-linen are especi. ally favorable to fine material and dainty stitches, for the rallies and laces and em- broideries which bedecked our beds a few years ago have been to a great extent superseded by delicate hemstitchiug, with sometimes a dainty bit of embroidery above it. Shams are not so much used as they have been, but they are so convenient that it isuot easy to discard them altogether; and there is a. noticeable disposition to re- gard them more favorably within the last few months than was shown when they first began to fall out. of favour more than a year ago. \Vhen they are used they are made somewhat more elaborate than pillow-cases, though they most frequently consist of a square of linen, hematitchcd, and with as much drawn-work as the time and taste of the user will permit. THE FIT or A PILLOW-SHAH is greatly improved by putting a triangular piece on the underside of each corner. The corners of the pillows are thrust into these, causing the sham to fit down closely over the pillow, and more nearly resemble a real pillow-case, than when it is simply laid over the pillow, or held by some of the patent devices. Oblong pillows are now more used than square ones, and pillowcases are made with- out the old-fashioned tuck along the sides. The open end hangs beyond the pillow about eight inches, and all the trimming is around this end. Even for square pillows the case is made with the long overhanging end, thus giving an oblong effect. The best style is to make the cases of fine linen, with simply a. hem-stitched hem ; but it is quite admis- sible to use drawn-work, embroidery,‘ or even ruffles, across the end. However fine the linen or dainty the stitching, much of the joy in a. well-filled linen-closet is dependent upon the laundress. Though there he never a ruffle nor a bit of embroidery among them, no proper house- wife can look upon her piles of snowy, shin- inqllmen, without a thrill of satisfaction at their beauty, and the thriftinem implied by them. Starch should never be used in bed- linen. If it is ironed while quite damp and With a very hot iron, it will have a. hand- somer gloss than any starch can give it, and enough stifl‘ness to make it lie smoothly, which is all that is desirable. Do not mar its beauty by many folds. Once crease down the centre of a pillow-case is sufficient. If possible, one closet or se‘. of drawers should be set apart exclusively for bed-linen and towels; and when this can be done it may be made deliciously fragrant by scat- tering among the linen BUNCHES 0F LAVENDER flowers tied up in little bags of Swiss or tariatan. Bunches of sweet clover, or the leaves of the lemon verbcna may also be used in this way ; but no heavy perfumes or sachet powders should be substituted, as the object is to give only a sweet, grassy fragrance, suggestive of cleanliness and sunlight and pure air. But for table-linen, even this much of a flavor ; and to a sensitive taste a dinner may be spoiled by an incongruous perfume, though it be one that under other circum- from the rest, and free from any odor.

I ’1. Feature orthe Glaciers It Grindelwnld PINE SCENBBY AND BAD GOLDS- uiug the Guide Books out. Europe is full of all sorts of devices for endangering and undermining the health of travellers. The big buildings, churches, palaces, and the like where the huge enclos- ure keeps the temperature of the air at the same cool level all the year round have caus- edsickuess and death without number. For travellers coming into them from the host of the summer day without do not think that this agreeable coolness means a sudden and unhealtbful reduction of the temperature of the body until a chill or a succession of sneezes tells them that the mischief is done. But there is one lace which is responsible for more sickness t an any score of large buildings. The glaciers at Grindelwnld, es- pecially the large upper glacier, is this dan- gerladen spot. Nearly evory one who goes to Switzerland, and that means nearly every one who travels in Europe, 093 to see the glaciers at Grindelwald, alt ough few, in- deed, do not regret having gone, because the difficulties and dangers are but slightly re- paid by the rather disappointing scenic Aud nearly all who go mrry away again, may make them linger in bed at ter- lakcn to curse the day they ventured to Grindelwald. The glacier is an hour’s walk or horse- back ride up a steep and winding mountain road, narrowly shut in because of the en- croaching mountain farms on either side. If you have gone horseback they set you down at a mountain inn with a little pavil- ion overlooking the valley of the glacier, with its vistas of perfect Swiss scenery. Then one goes through a. gate and walks downa winding road, arched with trees, crosses a stony valley, through the midst of which rushes a clear, pure, ice cold stream, fresh from the base of the glacier which the summer sun is melting. The glacier is before you, chilling the air which was of summer heat a few yards away. You must have walked down to it, be- cause there is no other way, and you are therefore heated. You stand near the glaci- er and instantly you are cool. Perhaps you go into the ice cavern, for the wonderful colors of the hewn ice are tempting. Ice water is dripping upon you and your feet are soon soaked from the wet boards under- neath. You go out and start away, and before you have again reached the little gate near the inn you find that you have the worst cold you ever had in your life. If you are over susceptible, you will have chills and fever. But it is not necessary to go down to the glacier. You may have heat-dot these perils. So you decide to view it from afar. You sitin the little pavilion with the superb panorama before, above, and beneath you, with the long, striated back of the serpent- like glacier and the stream gushing from its icy jaws as the central point of your land- scape. You order something to eat and a bottle of wine, and life seems to be an ex~ traordinarily good thing. For all around you is summer, hot, intense, luxuriant, while above you and down in the valley there is winter, eternal winter of snow and ice. ” But as you sit enjoying, levelling even, blissfully unconscious of danger. You be- gin to feel an icy chill, gentle and pleasing at first, but gradually increasing until you look about for furs, and then take to flight with a bad cold, pushing surfueward with- in you as a memento of the glaciers. Off that huge riverof ice blows a wind that is always wintry, that is felt in its full inten- sity a mile away through the heat of the hottest summer day. You may escape the wiles of the score of curio vendors urging ayou to take away a carving or something of that kind as a memento of Grindelwald’s glaciers. But the chances are that you will not escape that unpleasant or perhaps dan- gerous little memento in the shape of a. cold which the glacier will force upon you. Norway’s Pierced Mountains- Thorghattcn, the famous Norwegian mountain, has a. hole extending entirely through it from one side to the other. Ac- cordi to a Norwegian legend this same Mount Thorghatten was once a hat, and belonged to one Thorg, and hence the name Thorghntteu. It seems that in the mythi- cal ages agiant and giantess fell violently in love with each other. They were forced to part for a time, but vowed that they would marry in the near future. Soon after, however, the fickle woman pledged her troth to another. This angered her giant lover to a. degree unknown to modern men of smaller stature. He was seventy miles from her when the elfs brought the news, but, selecting a. good arrow, he shot it in her direction. .L\'ow it happened that her brother, Thorg, was standing in direct line of the arrow’s flight. It went through his hat and skull, killing him instantly, and fell harmless at the feet of ti e faithless giant- ess. She'had the power of turning all ob- 'ects into stone, and forthwith willed that her brother’s but become a. stone monument to the tragedy. The cruel lever was turned to stone where he sat astride his horse at Hestmando, and the giantess herself petri- fied at Lecko. The two latter 6bje:ts have disappeared, but'I‘horg’s hat (Thorghatten) is still the object .of many curious pilgri- mages. .â€"_.â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Foiled Again- In the brilliantly lighted parlor they sat.: He and She.
