Over i,(,' woit, ,. in this country alone now buy and read each mouth the Ladies' Home Journal, an i a study of the January number, just to hand, shows at once why the Journal is so popular. It is in complete touch, with a woman's best needs, and covers everything iu her life. No maga line covers its special field so thoroughly, and in such a fresh and capable manner. Mrs. Burton Har rison, for example, is selected to write of "Social Life in New York" than which there could have been no better choice. "Wine on Fashionable Tables," whether its use is increasing or decreasing, is discussed by such royal entertain ers as Chauncey M. Depew, ex-I'res-ident Hayes, Madame Romero, Mrs. ex-Secretary Whitney, George W. Childs and others. In the series of "Unknown Wives of Well-Known Men" we have the first portrait of Mrs. John Wanamaker ever printed, and a skstch, while !Clever Daughters of Clever Men" presents Ethel Ingalls, the pretty daughter of ex-Senator Ingalls. MrB. Henry Ward Beecher reaches the call of Plymouth church to her hnsbant! and .'.heir removal to Brooklyn in her eeies of pnpera on "Mr. Beecher as I Knew Him," while the daughter of Charles Dickens completes her first story.' A very pretty page of "Sofa Cushions" ia illustrated and desreibed; Palmer Cox's funny little "Brownies" are seen in a ludi crous sleigh-ride, while Robert J.

Ter., says: "I induced Mr. Pinson, whose wife had paralysis in the face to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. To their great suprise before the bottle had all been used she was a great deal better. Her face had been drawn to one side: but the Pain Balm relieved all pain and soreness, and the mouth assumed its natural shape." It is also a certain cure for rheumatism lame back, sprains swellings and lameness. fiO cent bodies for sale iy V. G. Fricke A Co., Druggists. TV Colult. . id t . which is V .ory ue.

One I remember with delight aa old nighthawk in Amstet dam that offered me not only its front seat for my easel, its arm rest for my water bottle, and a locket in the door flap for brushes (I am likely to expect all thii conveniences in even the most dis reputable of cabs), bnt insisted on giving me the additional luxury of a knot hole in its floor for waste water.

A capital story is told of a well known judge who is noted for his fondness for conveying to jurors in his charges to them bis own opinions with regard to the merits of the case. In one case he had done so with great plainness, bnt to his amazement the jury remained out for hours without coming to an agree ment. The judge inquired of the bailiff what was the matter, and learned from hitfl, that one juror was holding out against the other eleven. He siit for ths jury tt cscc. asd rtai ing to the jurors that he had plainly intimated how the case ought to be de cided, said he tindertod the one juror was standing out airainst tho oth.-r eleven. lie proT-ded to rebuke the juror sharply.

And yet we hear the cry that "men are not marrying." If one out of the many stores that supply these golden fetters of matrimony can aispose of such a number within a year, what must the sales amount to when all those that are ".pp!'ed by fth firms are added? Surely sotuelxAly's getting married. Down on the Bowery, near Grand street, there hangs a golden hoop large enough to marry all the brides on that tide of town. It is hung alsjve a jew elry store, and can be seen as well from the elevated road as from the sidewalk. It was fruin the window of a down town twin that I first caught sight of it. A young country looking couple that sat near by also noticed the giantlikeeinblem of wedlock, and I heard the girl whis per, "Un, W'liiie, there's where we "ot our ring," But Willie didn't look until the cur had passed the store; then ho raised biseyehruwsa little and said, "I see, ImlUIerently, and turned again to the paper he had been ieriihi!,g. The gin oit or vcd devrs it tlic gold band nprni her ungloved hand. At the licit station I left tiie train and viMtl the stora where Willie had bought the ring. One of the salesmen said, in answer to a question, "There isn't as much sentiment in the business as ine might suprise. Hy the time the ha; py couple arrive here they have got lieyond the blushing stage of heart di-e.v, and they buy tho ring ill the most matter of fact way. Sometimes tho una and woman come tf gether, but usually the gentleman comes alone to get the ring. "Do women ever select and pay for their own wi-d ling rings? So, very often, although there whs a lady here lat week who did so. When s couple come in together the man picks out a ring ind ask his 'friend' if it will do, and she invariable answers 'Yes.' Then he pa s fur it, hui that's si! there is alsnit it." "What siz of ring is nsnully re quired:" I a-ked. "In this part of the city," replied the practical salesman, "from six an 1 a quarter to seven are the usual sizes; but they run smaller up town on Broadway." Upon tlie counter he then placed two trays containing wedding rings. Borne of them appeared too large for any finger but that of s giant; yet it happens some times that these are not large enough for a would bs purchaser. It is cus'omary among the Germans f ir both the man and woman to buy a ring and make a mutual gift on the wedding day. The price of a wedding ring on the Bowery rang-s from eight to twenty five dollars, the averags price being ten or fifteen dollars. In style, the old fash h.ned plain round circle is generally pre ferred, because it is as comfortable in the dishpan ss in the drawing room, and ths sentimental little wife need never take it off for fear of its being spoiled. When ssked how long it usually took to purchase a wedding ring, the sales man laughed and answered that in his fourteen years' experience it had never taken a couple longer than half an hour to select one, nsually ten minutes. The woman se.-i.is to think it's best to hurry in the buying, or her escort's mind may change on the subject. . "We have never," said he, "had a ring that was bonght returned Wanse th marriage didn't come off. Sometimes a gentleman orders a ring made that is t heavy for the slender finger that is to wear it, and then he brings it Wk snd we tako off some of the gold. Frequent ly, too. people brilig us old rings to be melted and made over, bit this we re fuse to do." "Why?" I asV-d. "D-canso we can not promise to give them back ths same go!
