I don't be lieve there is a oui:iti iu the wtu ld that dresses as -In does, and yet she jjiws no thought to her dre-s. She wear what is coinfo: lable to her, and she thinks of uotliinu; but comfort. I f.i''ose that people who do not knoir her imagine that, beiu one of the leading actresses of the; world, sho dresses in the most expensive, and gor geous style; that she wears nothing but the gavest Paris hats and the most dainty l'aris boots. On the contrary, I do not believe that she has a thing that ever caw Paris; certainly her hat and boots never did. She has worn the same hat for the two seasons that she has been in America, and although she has been here in the winter both times, her hat is a littlo brown straw turban, with a brown veil wound around it. Some times she pins n bunch of natural How ers violets as a general thing -in t ho side of her hat and forgets to take them out after tliev are failed. She likes this hat bec.uiMj it is light; she savs her head is always lint and because sue can pick it up and put it on and lake it oil and throw it down on the Hoof or on tin? table or anywhere and not bother about it. As a rule she likes to pull it olt the Inst Iliinsr when she comes in the room and to run her lingers through her yellow hair, which stands up around her head like halo. Her shoes have not the common-sense rc;'oiiiiiuMiclat'(in of her hat. They are pumps that she bought for Olivia, with a rrvat 1 i i -1 1 heel in the middle of the sole and the toe sharpened oil' to the line-t point, llu'v are made of stout leather ami ornamented with a liijr steel buckle. She wears these low shoes summer and winter, but idie says they are the most comfortable things that she ever had o:i her feet; that before sli;! wore tli 'lit sh'! ihimI to were "colli mon se:ie shoes, mado with great at tention to tie anatomy of the foot, and she never had a minutes happiness in them. When she playel Olivia she bought those pumps us a part of her costume, ami they were so comfortable that she has never worn anything else since. No one could deny that, Miss Terry was not the most strikingly dressed person ill any room; but I ven ture to say that she would bo the most inepenivclv dressed.

During the fourteenth century therj) ?an be no doubt that the companies ex ercised a very cll'ective superintendence over trade a id manufacture. The city records abound with the accounts of the exposure and punishment of fraud! at the instigation of the companies, whose representatives seem to have used their powers of scrutiny and search with considerable vigor. Some of the cases reported with all solemnity in the "llcmbraneia are very quaint, unit allord a curious insight into tho manners of the times. Tims in 1311 we read of a .scrutiny of "false huts,"i being prosecuted "at the request of the hatters," with the result that lifteen b'aek and forty gray hats were seized as false, and condemned to be burned in Chepe; while ''certain other hats,'' of the bona tides of which there was some doubt, were "postponed for future consideration." In l.'IKI "the good folk of the trade of pott 'rs" denounced to tlio mavorand aldermen divers per-ons.and especially one "Aleyn le Sopcrc," who busied themselves in buying "in diverse places po!s of ha I metal, and then put them nn the lire so in to re-eniM" pots thai ha c I u tisi'd :i 'i I are of old lilacs, and then.'' the record continues, "they expose them for sale in West Chepe on Sundays ami other 'fi stival days to the deception of all those who buy such pots: for the moment the, are put upon the lire ami exposed to g.'eat heat, tnev come to milling and melt. By which roguery and fa'sehoo.l the people are deceived and the trade also is badlv put to slander." The magistrates nf the fourteenth century were not restricted to the dull monotony of "fori v shillings or a month, and they seemeil in devis ing penalties to have given free scope' to their powers of invention. For ex ample, O'ic Quilnogge having bought a putrid pig. which had I n laying a long time by the riverside, for four pence, cut fron it two gammons foi ile, aint soiti part tiiercot "in ileieit ol the people.'' He was sentenced to statu!' in the p llory while the residue of the gammons was burn -d l.coe.ith him." In the same way a seller of bad wuic' was condemned to Maml iu the pillorv. to drink a draught of his own stuil' and to have the remainder poured nter li head. We may well envy our ancestor-' the protection of this exeellcat law. an I sigh that the solai e of its di.-crim nat n:.,' application is denied to us. nimr'i rl. Ilcvicw.

' FALSE ECONOMY, Somo I'l'itlii.-nl tifili-t-tliMK liy mi Olt Wrllrr I.,, in , J-irllir s:Air Who Iwiiwi Winn II,. is Writln? Almiil. Seek the po ne.t for cconoiin's sake. Live on the i li'.ipcst. Dress cheaply, (ict yourself ch,'ap lolgings where grime mid squalor prevail. By so do'ngvoii w ill put on the atmos phere of pox eity as you do your owr coat and carry it with you as one of the signs reveal ng the very condition you want and mvd to conceal. Poverty will drive in ist people from you. They are afra'il of you. They feel in uiir presence the possible re piest of "Lend me a dollar for a few days." This ought not to bo so. But it is so. Tlis is not a homily on fancies but one on facts. There is quite us much reckless saving in this world as reckless spending. As when a man walks three or four miles to save a fare, and thereby walks the strength out of mind and body, that he needed for some important purpose. That's one of the ways of keening poor. Take care of your pence in taking good care of yourself and keeping boily and mind in the best condition, and iiot iu ramming every n''kel your list closes over down a rat hole, while you suffer and weaken for what it could buy I think real poverty means starving one's self of the good things of this world or being starved for lack of them, as you please. There's a law lor culti vating this sort of poverty as fixed iu its working as the law which carries the crrth around the sun. Make up your mind that vou won t abide this sort of poverty and so act as opportunities pre sent themselves, and see if elements and agencies do not come to you to help vou en iov life as vou live. Unlv there is presumed on your part sufficient sense to know such elements and agencies anil also to know how to use them. Who are the rich? A man with million may Iivo feeling ns "poor as poverty; scared half to death every time he takes out his pocket book for a necessary outlay; d, stress, ng himself by the hour with the thought that his last purchase of a dollar's worth at one sho might have been secure I for iiinctv cents at another; starving his stomat with ind gtMtible ten-cent lunches aud studying what he calls "economy" until economy has turned into in s.-riiuess. Another man buys what he needs treats himself to the best hecan find am afford, treats his body todecent food and clothing and gets lot, of good out ol them as he goes along. Which is the richer of the two? What, do you want? To feel miserably poor all your days on earth that you may so il e "poor as poverty, though worm the mill on you have scraped together through starving your body, starving your tastes, scrimping, cheese paring and living in such dread of poverty that vou have become a money hoarding monomaniac, distressed by the money gripes every time you open your purst for a car fare. (Jo unshaven to day to savo the bar ber's fee, and vou feel unshaven mid un presentable. That is tho very dav yoi will meet the man on whom you desirt to make a favorable impression, and wht may "take stock" of your stubby beard anil judge vou thereby. Buy tlieclieape shoes or the cheaper coat or hat to savi a few dollars, and vou buy so inan cheap signs which will let you out anil keep vou out of the class who might hi most useful to you, ns you might iu turn also be to them. A man bred to miserly morality and stuffed full in hisyoiilhof Hen Franklin'! maxims provocative of economical starv ation, went to a strange place in search of business, having in his pocket $100. lor economy ssako he put up tit u third class hotel, where grease and rancidity made lim half-sick and sallow. Foi economy s sake he kept on wearing a suit of clothes verging on seediness when an expenditure of if 10 on apparel would have made him outwardly a far more presentable person. Week after week he grew otitwanlh morn seedy and Inwardly more sick, and further from the situation he sought, for his clothes and his third rate bear ing and address, coming of stopping at a third-rate hotel, enveloped him with n third-rate atmosphere and created for In in Willi others a third-rate miiiression. So his hundred dollars dwindled and dwindled away on this basis of economy until hi! could not purchase a new suit of clothes, while those he wore became daily less and less presentable. As hi became less presentable he had less anil less face to present himself to the kind of people most necessary for him tu seek. I he second man coining to the same place on a s'milar errand chose better though more expensive lodgings and thereby got himself among and wa seen of men among a more respectable class of people. Me, also, had but $ lot in the world, but when he saw in his clothing signs of wear mi l tear and more coming, he said t ) himself: "If I buy me a lifty dollar suit of elothfng though I get nothing to do, I shall have tlie apparel, anyway, and that's a bettei business basis to stand on than a seedy suit." Ask any man of the world which ol the two was most likely to "get along" ami make his way. "Take care of the pence nnd thr pounds will take care of themselves." says your careful old man of money. True! But are you taking care of the pence when for economy's sake you dose yourself with the dirt and rancid ity of a slop-dish restaurant? Are you taking care of yourself? Won't poor living make vou poorer? There is n pretty straight path for many between poor feeding and poor whisky. Are not pence very prolitably expemlcd in tak ing good care of yourself;' I'rcnirt Vu!fort, in X. Y.
