SENSE AND SENTIMENT. 
“ To-morrow,” I said, “ I'll cleanly live.” 
But I spoke with a drunken mind : 
“ To-morrow,” I cried, “to the poor I’ll give.” 
As I scattered my wealth to the wind. 
But to-morrow came, and her smiles were sweet, 
And the wine was sparkling and red ; 
And my wishes were rolled in a winding-sheet, 
And the poor had to beg his bread. 
“ To-morrow,” I cried, “ I will go to Christ, 
For Tophet’s too hot to-day !” 
But to-morrow came, and the Styx was iced 
And the devil there was to pay. 
And all my good is in after-now, 
And the present is always here ; 
And I know how the voice of my present vow 
Will sound in to-morrow’s ear. 
For to-morrow will ever a prospect be, 
Unborn, in the future’s womb, 
Till I see it stand in God’s chancery, 
My judge at the crack of doom. 
— O. S. Lay or d in Temple Bar. 
-Dorothea Lummis in the Chap- 
Book : “ It’s a great pity to see so many 
people without any children to educate 
them.” 
....Junius Henri Browne in Ladies’ 
Home Journai, : “A man seeks and de¬ 
mands a woman's first love. A woman 
feels most secure when she feels that 
she has a man’s last love.” 
-Mary H. Krout in the Inter- 
Ocean : “Endowed with energy and 
talent which, in a man, would find a 
healthy and natural outlet in a congen¬ 
ial profession, women are expected to 
put behind them as they would the wiles 
of the evil one, any whisper of ambition 
that may tempt them from the seclusion 
of domesticity into public life. What 
they would do, what they themselves 
would like to undertake or to become, 
does not enter into the exhortations of 
these self-instituted mentors.” 
PATTERNS FOR R. N.-Y. READERS. 
Write the order for patterns separate 
from other matter, give bust measure 
and pattern number, and inclose 10 cents. 
Each pattern is complete with instruc¬ 
tions for cutting and putting garments 
together. For children’s patterns, send 
age. 
6572. Boys’ Russian Blouse. 
This is an easily-made, stylish, com¬ 
fortable and serviceable suit for boys’ 
SUIT 
play or general wear. The knicker¬ 
bockers close at the sides, the lower 
edges being gathered into bands of the 
plain cloth that fit closely below the 
knee, and are buttoned on the outside of 
the leg. A band is provided with but¬ 
tonholes to adjust to the waist, or sus¬ 
penders may be attached to outside 
buttons, as preferred. The blouse is 
simply shaped by shoulder and under- 
aim seams, slight fullness being gath¬ 
ered at the neck on the right front. The 
lower edge is finished with a narrow 
facing through which elastic is inserted, 
and droops in regular blouse style over 
the tops of knickerbockers. Buttons 
and buttonholes close the blouse in Rus¬ 
sian fashion on the left front. Pattern 
No. 6572 is cut m four sizes, for boys of 
four, six, eight and ten years of age.

ODDS AND ENDS , 
A Pretty Needle Book is made of 
crocheted rings ; get 14 brass rings all 
of one size, which are sold for fancy 
work; crochet them with Victoria or 
Hamburg knitting silk. Cherry color 
makes a very handsome one, and 2064 is 
a good shade. When finished, fill the 
center of the rings with a cobweb, and 
fasten six in a circle with one in the 
center ; then use the remaining seven 
for the other cover. Cut leaves from 
cherry-colored cashmere, the size and 
shape of the cover. Finish the edge 
with button-hole stitch, m. j. ashton. 
Pickles Without Vinegar. —We have 
received replies regarding making pickles 
without vinegar, and think that the fol¬ 
lowing is, probably, what the inquirer 
desired : One pint of coarse salt dis¬ 
solved in 10 quarts of cold water. Cover 
the cucumbers with this brine and 
weight them down. Keep in a warm 
place until sour, and then put in a cool 
place to keep. It will take them two or 
three weeks to get sour. A little dill or 
sour cherry leaves put in among the cu 
cumbers, will give a good fiavor. 
Unbleached Muslin. —The practice of 
buying unbleached cotton is growing 
fast, and it has much to commend it, for 
not only is the material cheaper, but 
also, far pleasanter to work, and it has 
the advantage of having been spared the 
bleaching, which is a decidedly rottinsr 
process. The “undressed” material will 
soon wash white, and those who live in 
the country can quickly bleach it by 
leaving it out in the sun and rain for a 
few days. 
This is from a late number of the 
Home Magazine, and I would add my 
bit of advice which, of course, applies to 
those whose supply of strength is not 
over-abundant. Don’t wear yourself out 
washing and ironing the thick, heavy 
muslin with the idea that you are prac¬ 
ticing economy inasmuch as it is going 
to last longer—it won’t ! I use the five- 
cent quality for night gowns, night 
shirts and short skirts ; the six-cent qual¬ 
ity supplies the sheets and pillow cases. 
It is real fine, bleaches so much more 
readily than the heavy, and as it is soft, 
it is so much easier to launder.

Naked Pills 
are fit only, for naked sav¬ 
ages. Clothes are the marks 
of civilization—iu pills as well 
as people. A good coat does 
not make a good pill, any more 
than good clothes make a good 
man. But as sure as you’d 
look on a clothesless man as a 
mad one, you may look on a 
coatless pill as a bad one.

Do You Want a Watch ? 
W HEN the prices of Watches were reduced during the panic of 
1893 and the following year, we thought that surely they 
would go up again promptly. But we find that we are still 
able to buy them at panic prices, and some grades even cheaper than 
ever before. We urge no one to buy these watches of us. We 
simply know that retailers are obliged to make good profits on 
watches, no matter where they are located, and we are simply buy¬ 
ing these, as we want them, at wholesale prices, and add enough to 
cover cost of correspondence and postage, so that our readers, who 
want watches of any grade, can get them at practically wholesale 
prices. Every watch is guaranteed to us, and we, in turn, guarantee 
them to purchasers. We will return the money in any case of 
dissatisfaction. We, however, sell these watches only to subscribers.
