PAT SEIGGORS. AT WLLy MIXED IN HER BOTANY. MOTHER had been teaching her infant daughtera little prayer the refrain of which was : ‘Forget me not,O Lord,”and because ofthe little girl’s forgetfulness her attention had been called to the flower of that name, in the hope that its association with the prayer would im prove her memory. After it was supposed the child had her lesson fully learned, the mother, one evening, in the presence of company, anxious to exhibit her daughter’s precocity, asked her to recite her little | prayer, and she surprised the company by’ shouting : ‘* Bachelor's but- tons, O Lord!” The two flowers grew side by side in the family garden. — Boston Post. Cot. WILLIAM M. HALDEMAN, proprietor of the Louisville Courier- “Journal, has a very poor opinion of Henry Watterson’s business capac- ity. The other day he opened one of Watterson’s editorial corres- | pondences, dated Paris. He handed it to the cashier to send up to the editorial rooms. | “What is it ?” asked the cashier. ‘*A letter from Watterson,” answered Haldeman; ‘I haven't read it, | but it’s a long one about ‘ The Latin Quarter.” “The Latin quarter? What's that ?” asked the cashier, with his | mouth agape and his eyes hanging out on his cheeks. “Tm — if I know,” said Haldeman ; ‘but if Watterson got it in | change, I'll bet fifty to one that it’s a twenty-cent piece.”— Chicago | News.

PRIESTLEY 'S NEW SILK WARP FABRICS. Among the new materials especially commended 1s the Clairette, also shown with a border for veils. This soft, dainty fabric seems impervious to hardship, and while light in weight, is sufficiently black to be assumed even in deep mourning. Convent cloth will be much worn in the early spring. Gypsy Cloth is an etamine fine and artistic in draping. while firm in texture. This Pansy is a soft twill, fine and beautiful, and will undoubtedly prove a favorite. - Drlineat r. “LIFE’S VERSES!” Composed of the best poems, selected from ‘“‘ Life," beautifully bound and illustrated.
