Behind the counter of a crowded fab Ion
able store, to the ruh and hurry of the busy
f juLcr worton. a girl suddenly staggered and
fell lii a convulsive swoon. A kindly dis
fMieod person Inquired who sho was. Ho one
knew only tbo name sbe had given tbem on
her roeent arrival. Whore dij ho come
from! No one knew. Where did the llvof
Ktill no answer. She was taken home in a
burning fever to a garret, where a very old
and feeble mother received her with fright
ened sobs. A well known benevolent lady in
tbo city, whoso name heads many a charity
list, and wboHe unknown gifts to the unfor
tunate each year exceeds a king's ransom,
heard of the case and went to the relief of the
sufferer. Strong men carried Imt down the
rickety stairs in their arms, while the aged
mother followed weeping, and in one of the
hand.-wmest carriages on the avenue the girl
was taken to tlio shelter of a beautiful hotie.
All through her delirium she was begging
for cars and stages to stop for her, and ei-
claiming tiiat she would lose fifty cents if
she was three minutes late. Investigation
revealed that the girl liad come to the city
from a country homo, destitute and un
known. In tho hope of finding employment
by which sho might support herself and
her mother. After many disappoint
ments sho obtained this place at (3..V) a
week, from which fifty cents was taken each
time khe was lute, and on which the two wo
men had subsisted for mouths as best they
couhL Overworked and poorly fed, she had
fallen at her employer's feet unconscious,
and ho had paid no attention to her until
tbo wealthy woman went to him, aud on
threatening exposure in the paiK-rs luduced
him to pay the girl's salary through her ill
ness. Tliis story Is ono of hundreds equally tragic
which might be told of tlw exericnces of
girls coming to this city each year for em
ployment. From every stato in tho Union,
horn distant cities, from rural towns, and
from foreign countries over the sea, girbi
come in throng3 to New York, attracted by
advertisements or instigated by the thought
that in so large a city remunerative aud con
genial employment may be obtained by
simply asking for it. Most of them have
very little money and no idea of the exjien.-e
incident to living in New York iu a resjwt

If Wives TVoul.l Only Think.
If wives would only wait and think and
plan, and not blurt out at their husbands at
every little thing which displeases thorn, this
queer animal would not so often get balky.
It is too bad that ho needs such careful hand
ling, but ns the fact remains that he does
women might as well accommodate them
selves to it. Never try to regulate your hus
band. When a woman complains that her hus
band leaves boots or clothes or soiled towels
ground In places where they don't belong, or
Ihnt he i3 always spattering gravy on the
clean cloth or serving the worst piece of
moat to tho guest, or eating with his knife,
then I know that either the woman has not
br.n an observer or that she is selfish. If
she looked about her sbe would observe that
r.ien are all more or less alike, and that they
are groat big good hearted boys, mot of
thnm, who can be bandied beautifully if we
re only sort of comfortable and easy with
them.
I knoTr a woman, several of them in fact,
whow husbands have marked peculiarities;
don't believe in "style," scrape the salad off
the salad plate and "mux" it up with other
things, dip a piece of bread into tho gravy in
tho aiat platter, aqd yet all these peculiari
ties are passed quietly, because those hus
bands will not be regulated, and because you
either htive to live alone on the island of
women, boar with the peculiarities of the
lord of creation or "ding dong" the whole
livlong tim a:i i what is more ill bred or
despicable than a nagging woman!
No, don't try to regulate your husbands,
pirl. Learn to enjoy the fruit even though
it be not absolutely without flaw; eat around
the placa you dont enjoy and cultivate a more
comfortable jog. What do you care if your
basKind does invite a friend the very day you
don't happen to have the best things? Offer
with a good cheer what you have. What do
you caro if he lies down on tho counterpane?
Well, may be you care, but then it doesn't
pay to fuss about it; slip a newspaper under
Id's boots, and let him sleep. What do you
caro if he asks for more cutlet the very day
he Ir'ng9 an unexpected friend, and is told
there is only enough for once around. The
world doesn't revolve on a cutlet. What do
you care if ho has a fashion of leaving open
every bureau drawer, collar box and any
other receptacle from which he takes any
thing? By that I mean if you do care you
won't keep wrangling and jangling all the
time. 1 know plenty of sweet, sensible
women who do not reprove their husbands
for worse things than 1 have mentioned, be

they groan at all. Louise Markscheffel in

A Clmpter on Dress.
The necessity of thick dressing that follows
upon living i'i naif warmed bouses Is seldom
regarded as an injury, but is one which tells
most oa a woman when sbe needs every point
in her faror. Few women reach SO or 35
without spinal strain, from having children,
or from accident or over exertion in some
shape. Nerve ailments and "working on
jpntt'a nerves" draw directly on the spinal
chord and exhaust it, one marked effect of
which is that compression aud weight of
clothing become intolerable. A spirited,
active, healthy girl feels good in her snug
corset and heavily trimmed skirt, which
serves to balance and trim her free move
ment like the weight on the heels of a trot
ting borse, if you allow the apt comparison.
But when the drafts of life nave told on
the lowered vitality, the first symptom, per
haps, will bo the unbearable weight of
clothes, of bedding and boot heels, while a
close fitting glove is' enough to cause faint
pesa. This comes of no Cue lady airs, but is
a well recognized effect of that spina dis
order whose outcome is locomotor ataxia and
being bed ridden for life.. The nerves of
bands and feet specially, being farthest from
the- heart pump, are least nourished in the
famine of uerve force, and pressure and
weight of shoes or gloves cut off still more
f the feeble circulation, till the nerve cen
ters, teljgraphed speedily, feel the reflex in
Jury and share in the exhaustion. This tells
fearfully on looks. The hollowed eyes, the
drawn mouth, the sinking of the features and
contraction of the eve all tell. of sympathetic
strain. If you ever bad to fit la a cramped
posture till your limbs acbM, you know the
habitual feeling of these lesser spine troubles.
The cure Is simply making the wotnan com
fortable In every least point, mental or bodily,
and keeping her so till the strained muscles
regain themsel vea. The grasshopper is a bur
don; off with quilted skirts of farmers satin
or silk, and replace there In the down petti
coats or the quilted woof, which Is almost as
light. Change the lined and plaited dress
skirt, whose weight Is mostly the wiggans
and cambrics of the lining, and wear India
twills or swausdown flannels for dresses and
cloakings till strong enough to carry a plush
cloak without feeling it. She must be a
woman of poor taste and Invention wbo can
not make au invalid's simpler dress becoming,
and wear It with a distinction of Its own. If
you can't bear the weight of Jet, wear lace.
If you can't carry grosgruin, wear India silk
or surah. It is the unnecessary burdens
women carry that crush out their beauty aud
their youth. Shirloy Dare.
Not the Age for Marriage.
But, however the mother of a son may look
at the subject of early marriages, the mother
of a daughter is Justified, it seems to me, in a
rather docided opposition to them. If, in
stead of being a great and happy portion of
the school of life, marriage constituted the
wholo of it, or life existed only for the sake
of marriage, still those entering its portals
must be the better for suitable preparation.
1 am unable to suppose that at the age of IS
or 20 any preparation has been sufficient.
Tho age is lovely in its tenderness, aud en
chanting with its illusions; but wisdom wears
a Beverer fuce, and marriago deals with stern
facta Some girls there may le, of rare abil
ity, who are competent to take upon their
young shoulders tho responsibility of a house,
its work, or the direction of tho$e who do its
work ; the oversight of a husband's wardrobe,
the bearing and nursing of children, the phy
sical attention to them in health and in sick
ness, and tho daily direction of their moral
and mental education, together with all the
other indoor and outdoor cares incidental to
the position of one who is the head of a fam
ily, and who has the happiness of a home and
a husband on her heart and conscience. But
these cases are few and exceptional, and the
great multitudes of girls under 20 are not
equal to such a strain upon nerve and muscle
without an an-esfc of development. A few
years later they may remember themselves at
that ago as still children; they may feel some
reproach toward those who had laid upon
them such a burden greater thai) children
should bear.

Commonplace Pleasures of life.
That person who has lost his ability to en
joy the simple, unpretentious, commonplace
pleasures or me nas lost a very precious
thing indeed. 1 have in my mind now a few
men and women of the world who must keep
luemseives tonea up witn unusual excite
ments, who uo longer find anythins: to laueh
at, anything to weep over, and who are not
to be moved by any ordinary joys and sor
rows, inese people nave sawdust hearts.
They cannot smile over the spectacle of little
children dancing, over simple home happen
lngs, over boys at play. Everything for
them must be in the superlative degree, and
that is very sad indeed. If we teach our
children nothing else wo should surely teach
them to think of thiugs outside their own
home circle, and to understand the subtle
sweetness of that touch of nature that makes
the whole world kin.
We aro apt as we grow in prosperity and in
fashionable ways to attempt to outgrow
theso commonplace joys of life. The fash
ionable entertainment, with all its detail of
toilette, and curfs, and flowers, and dance
programmes and menus, outrank In import
ance the simpler amusements and methods
that contented us in earlier days. And yet
what stately reception was ever so warming
to the heart as the birthday celebrated
quietly, with only near and dear ones for
guests; what expensive opera box ever gave
more pleasure than a Sunday evening concert
at home; what grand political triumph, what
wonderful literary success was as sweet to
the heart as the hullabaloo loving ones can
make over a new baby Catharine Colo in

How to Treat Servants.
The one great rule of treating servants
has been put in a very few plain words by a
grand, sweet hearted young wife, who hag
"entertained" all classes and conditions of
servitude during five years of housekeeping,
and has never to her knowledge been robbed
of a penny. "I go on the principle," she says,
"that other people are as honest as I am,
barring those who show signs of 'trickiness'
of any sort. Those 1 discharge at once. If
I find a girl jumping up and making a great
show of industry when I enter a room, I loss
my faith in her.
"An honest, straightforward person I try
to impress with my own frankness. I tell
her only this, that she has come to work for
me, agreeing to do her best; that I will be as
kind to her as I can; that if she is in trouble
to let me know, and that I am obliged to let
those who are with me assume a great deal
of responsibility, and all that I ask is that
she will try and protect ray interests and in
every way do as much for me as sho would
like to have any one do for her if she were
in my place. That is all I say about it. If
I wish to go through my servants' rooms, I
do so smilingly and quite as a matter of
course. In Gve years I may have had a maid
or two who liked to put a bit o my white
heliotrope on her handkerchief of a Sunday
afternoon, but nothing worse." Frank Les
lie's. To Blake Coffee and Tea.
It seems a bit odd that so many people,
either from lack of understanding of what
gives the odor and flavor to coffee and tea or
from carelessness, prepare them in just the
way that is calculated to get rid of the vola
tile matters whose aroma and tastes are so
highly prized. The chief part of the art of
making good coffee or tea is to dissolve the
soluble matters, and at the same time not lose
those that are volatile. The long steeping at
high temperature, commonly practiced in
making tea and coffee, U an effective way for
expelling the volatile oils. To keep them In
bpt water just long enough to dissolve out
the alkaloids and other soluble compounds,
and In a tightly closed vessel, so as to prevent
the escape of the volatile substances, are very
Important factors In the making of a good
cup of tea or coffee.
The guests at the table of an acquaintance
of mine not long since were unusually
pleased with the tea, and surprised to learn
that It was bought at the same store, and
was, in fact, the same tliat some of them
were using at home. It transpired tliat the
tea had been kept in a tight' box until used,
and had been' prepared by a proceu which
one of the family had learned in Germany.
This consisted simply' in pouring boiling
water upon the tea, covering the pot tightly
with a cloth, setting it upon a part of the
stove where it would not boil, and serving
after a very short time. The towel helped
to keep the water warm and the aroma from
escaping, and the tea when brought to the
table was most excellent. Of course, things
of this sort are of uo great consequence.
Perhaps most of us would be lietter olf if we
did not drink either tea or coffee, but if wo
are going to use them we might as well have
the flavor, tvhich, I supose, is the least in

Outdoor LIT for Blondes.
Now, what blondes of all sorts need to lay
to heart is the indispensable necessity for
them of outdoor Ufa Not hours of amuse
ment at teiln is, or walking or driving, but
living out of doors and In tho sunshine when
it shines at alL They have tho capacity for
large vitality, and the source of all that is
vital is the sun. They should never choose
indoor employment, as clerks or teachers, but
turn gardeners, walking agents or market
women in preference, like the wiry, flaxen
haired German girl I know, once maid to a
lady of rank, who married a young farmer
and drove round to sell the produce. In her
fresh, trim, linen gown ami shade hat she
dressed the part perfectly, and, with the
light, spring wagon and good horse, driving
over the Bergen hills to carry her golden but
ter and ruddy pears or early salads, she was
as much in place, ladylike and pleasant a
creature as one could wish a woman to be.

The Sunday Gaea
A guest who Is osieri -
at a couatrv stay over bunday
no i - -ouse should always hold hirn-
.. at the disposal of the hostess. If she pro
poses a plan of action he should fall in with
it, and yet he should not be a heavy weight.
He must be ready to walk, read, write letters,
take himself off if he sees that be is not
wanted, and the best hostess is she who sees
to it that, while her guest is taken care of, he
has no suspicion that he is b aag entertained.
The charm of a country neighborhood
should be in its ease, and while a good
natured host and hostess place their grounds,
their horses and carriages, and their servants
at the disposition of their guests, the greatest
care should be observed by the guest to not
presume on this; to observe the family hours.
Some people are "born visitors" they have
the tact to perceive when they are wanted
and when not; they allow the hostess to get
off to write her letters; they are gay and
amusing. Such a visitor is in great demand.

The Value of Beauty.
The women of today are more and more
learning the value of beauty; not merely
beauty of form and face, but the beauty of
health and the charm attained by a womanly,
gentle disposition. Long diatribes have been
written on how the fashionable girl is cared
for; most of them display little knowledge of
the set that is supposed to practice the art of
caring for beauty or else positive ignorance
of the art itself. If the fashionable mother
only allowed the beauty sleep, the bath and
rubbing to the daughter already "out she
would display very little care, for thought
must be devoted to a daughter's appearance
from the time when well when she is put in
a tiny bassinette where the blue ribbons tell
of sex. Philadelphia Times.
Rest After Exercise.
It is a universal habit with English women
to take a few minutes' absolute rest after any
continued exercise. An English girl is
taught to lie down at full length and close
her eyes for ten or fifteen minutes in a dark
ened room after a long walk or ride or game
of tennis, and, what is more, she is mode to
realize the benefit of not talking during the
little rest. Perfect quiet of mind and body
she thus gets at least twice daily. "S. S. E.
M." in Chicago Herald.
In a .severe sprain of the ankle immerse the
joint as soon as possible in a pail of hot
water, and keep it there for fifteen or twenty
minutes. Alter removing it keep it baud-

There is a kind of water that will soon scald
little furrows adown the cheeks and about
the eyes, and that is the pearly tear. If a
woman cannot control the operations of the

Fry was a mau fully six feet high, slender,

They turned nround and walked back to

word "Fire," and as he slowly said "One

threw up his right hand, and, firing his pis

act of firing his last shot, but, seeing Jones
fall, silently lowered his pistol, dropped it on
the ground and sprang to Jones' sido, taking
his head in his lap as he sat down, and asking
him if was hurt.
