They Dress for aDIuncr Tarty with Some Difficulty. "Xow, we haven't much time to get ready, ray dear," suggested Mr. Spoopendvke, cheerily, "and I -won't be late at a dinner uarty. I want you to fix up so as "to be the best looking woman at the (able. You can get ready in an hour, can't you?" "1 think I can." reDlied" Mrs. Spoopendyke, with a titter. "Oh, yes, I can dress in that time, and I hope you won't be disappointed in me," and the little woman began to , take down her back hair. " lou miplit irotmv shn.vin tarlr1 for me," said Mr. Spoopendyke, ap propriating me only mirror. "And now I think of it," "he continued, af ter a pause, "my dress coat needs a button. Sew it on, won't you?" Mrs. Spoopendyke lugged out the coat, and huntedthrough a broken down old has after a button that j would do. "Got that button sewed on yet?" inquired Mr. Spoopendyke, lather ing away comfortably. "In a minute, my clear," responded ! ins wue. j "Well, hurry up; I want you to pul these studs and sleeve-buttons into my clean shirt." Mrs. Spoopendyke gradually got. around to these offices, and laid out the habiliments in readiness for her lord. "Did you take those stitches in mv gloves?" inquired Mr. Speopendyke. "O, yes; certainly," replied Mrs. Spoopendyke ; "going right to work at it." "Well, then, you can brush my vest and pantaloons, and by that time I'll be ready to have you tie mv cravat." A few moments more found Mr. Spookendyke arrayed completel'. "Come, you ready?" he demanded, havinj; assured himself that his wife had not accomplished a single step toward her toilet. "Not quite, dear," responded the Iad'f with one-half her hair in her mouth and the other half crackling under the brush. "What's the matter with you?" he asked. "Didn't you say you could get ready in an 'hour? " Didn't you hear me tell you when I came in that we only had an hour to dress in? AVliat have you been doing? Why can't you go as you are? You look well enough." "I was busy fixing your things," faltered .Mrs. Spoopendyke, "and I couldn't do two things at once." "Oh, no! You can't do anything at once. Why didn't you have m' things fixed this mo'rning? Why don't you keep house somehow? That dress you've got is good enough. Why can't you goin that dress? If you've got to put on" all the frills vou won't be leady till next fall. Ain't you most ready now? Think I'm going to stand around here like a jug of mineral water?" Mrs. Spoopendyke twisted up her hair and jammed in the pins. Then she put on her hat and twitched it first one way and then the other; put one hand up behind and shoved it forward, and then caught hold of it in front and pulled it down. "Well, if you're ready, let's start," growled Mr. Spoopendyke. "You've been long enough for a telegraph wire now. Como on." "Oh! I haven't got my dress on yet," pleaded Mrs. Spoopendyke. "I'll be through in a minute." "Dod gast the dress !" ejaculated Mr. Spoopendyke. "Where's my paper? Give memy paper and I'll read a month or two. You won't bo ready till spring. "Where's that paper?" "Take abook, dear," recommended Mrs. Spoopendyke, blushing deeply, and glancing around nervously. "I don't want any measly book," retorted Mr. Spoopendyke. "I want the morning paper. Find that pa per the first thing you do, and then you get ready in four seconds." "I think you'll find the paper be hind behind the book case," said Mrs. Spoopendyke, as red as a brick, and she hustled into her skirt and began clawing at it behind in an ef fort to loop it up straight. "I'm al most ready," she giggled hysterically as she drew on the waist and but toned it up nervously. "I'll be ready before you could turn the paper inside out," and she snatched a rib bon from the drawer, tied it in a bow, pinned it at her throat and backed away from the glass to see how it looked. "I want to know whether you're going to find that dod gasted "paper for me!" thundered Mr. Spoopen dyke." 'I'm all right except my cloak," jerked out Mrs. Spoopendyke. "If you'll hand me my cloak we'll start right away. It's in the closet there." And Mrs. Spoopendyke flopped down on the floor and began putting on her shoes. "S'pose I'm going to hunt around for that measly cloak?" howled Mr. Spoopendyke. "Can't you get your things yourself? I want my paper, and I want it now !" "T can tell you what was in it," said Mrs. SpOopendvke. "I can tell vou all about it while I dress," and she looked up at him pleasantly, with tier lace all liusneu. "No doubt," retorted Mr. Spoop endyke. "You know all about it. All you want is a can of oil and ten men swearing at you all day to be a printing press. When are you going 'Now. I'm all ready, dear." smiled Mrs. Spoopendyke, who , wasn't anything of the sort. "You ' won't need to read now, for we're going." They started off together arm in arm, Mr. Spoopendyke growling and his wife hitching at her various gar ments as they went along. "Another time we're going out to dinner you be ready the day before, you hear?" demanded Mr. Spoopen dyke. ""Yes, dear," responded his wife, and then she thought to herself, "I'm very glad he didn't insist on my looking for that paper." England and Russia's War Footing. "When an irresistible body comes in contact with an immovable one the result is supposed to be some thing terrific. When England's repu tation as a fighter is considered and then Kussia's huge army, the largest in the world, is stood up alongside of it, the result of a war between these nations is looked upon with dread. Russia's regular army is the largest in the worm, and her'navy has more vessels than that of any other nation. The standing army of Russia consists of 780,000 men, and her navy of 373 vessels. Russia pays for the main tenance of her army $125,000,000 a year, a sum several millions greater than that paid by any other nation for this purpose. Great Britain's standing army is only 182,000 men against Russia's 780,000, and her army, when on a war footing, 042,000, against Russia's 2,300,000 when on a war footing. England pays $90,000,000 a year for her army, against Russia's $125,000, 000. And yet Great Britain's army costs 2.37 for each head of her popu lation, while Russia's costs her only $1.27 per inhabitant. Even if Great Britain takes into account her India contingent (the army of British India is 190,000, and on a war footing 380, 000) the total would be, in either case, less than half of Russia's force. Russia has the largest standing army of the world 780,000. Italy "comes next with 750,000, France next with 530,000", Germany next with 445,000, China"next with 300,000, Austria and Hungary next with 283,000 British India next with 190,000, Great Britain next with 182,000. Russia's navy has 373 vessels, that of France 302, Great Britain 240, though it is proper to add that Great Britain's navy costs about three times as much as that of Russia. Times Star. An American Type. Wonderful is the influence of a man who has an actual belief in any thing, even if it be only in himself! He magnetizes and enchants the nega tive and neutral-tinted mass of his fellows. The infirmity of such men often is, that they are as fickle as they are earnest. . They see and feel with such vividness that they do not see and feel the same thing long. In the course of a lifetime tliey will pas3 through a complete circle of opinions and practices, each one of which, nevertheless, appears to be the direct logical outcome of the preceding one. Such men are dangerous to conser vative institutions, and subversive of the calculations of political econo mists and statisticians; but, if it were not for them, the world would soon cease to revolve, and hang idly on its axis. They are more at home" in this country than in Europe ; but for that very reason, they are perhaps more useful in Europe than they are here, Julian Hawthorne. That Illrty Daodran. Dandruff is dirty and disagreeable in every way. It soils the clothing continually, and js accompanied by a hardly less annoying sensation of itchinp. The scalp is diseased. There is nothing in the world so thoroughly adapted to this tronble as Parker's Hair Balsam. It cleanses and heals the scalp, stops the falling hair and restores its original softness, gloss and color. Is not oily, highly per fumed, an elegant dressing. Very economical, as only a small occasion al application keeps the hair in per fect condition. Among all "the virtues, humility, the lowest, is pre-eminent. It is the safest, because it is always an an chor; and that man may be truly said to live the most content in his calling who strives to live within the compass of it. In Life's Decline Infirmities beset us to which our youth and maturity were strangers. "Weakness of the lulus, rheumatic ailments, dyspepsia, loss of appetite ami unquiet sle ep, are among these. As a means of counteracting the infirmities of age, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is unri valled. It quickens ami enriches the sluggish and impoverished clreulatlon.beget-s a hearty appetiteand j'outhfnl relish for the food, and enables ttie stomach to digest it. It soothes and invigorates the nenrous system and checks a tendency to rheumatism. Its quiet ing action upon the great sympathetic nerve which connects the stomach with the brain, results in the speedy departure of the rest lessness by night and disquietude by dav. which are the reflected mauifestatious of dyspepsia. It is a mot effectual antidote to the poison of miliaria, gives a healthful im petus to the action of the kidney and blad der, and is an admirable means of resusci tating vicor when impaired by overworn or other came. The American humming- bird can whip the English sparrow. If he who makes two blades of grass grow where only two grew before is a benefactor, equally so is he who re lieves one of onr physical ills. But St Jacob3 Oil does more; rheumatism, lieadache, neuralgia, sprains, burns and bruises, all yield to its treatment, which is at once simple and emca cious. Using the Parlor. In one sense it should not be a liv ing room, because it should be the one place in all the house where work is not an obtrusive suggestion. It should be a refuge from all busi ness associations and from all toil that is wearisome or distasteful. In this room there should be only the most restful and peaceful associa tions. A place free from the worrieu of life is really necessary for the healthy development, and in its ap pointments it must be comfortable to the person, tranquilizing to the mind and gratifying to the eye. To producu this result care should be exercised not to make the parlor a "family re frigerator" or give it a stiff and for bidding air. There is nothing sacred about the room; there is no reason why one should feel so constrained hat breathing is made painful by the ear of being obtrusive. MARKETS. WYATT & THOMPSON.
