Ytolton lrM Ik Coaalrf
Th vorkbackvt ot the up-to-date
woman of leUure la provided with
any costly trlflei, the use ot which U
tot directly obvious to the uninitiated,
aya the Nw York Tribune. Tnla (act
was recently lmpresd upon the writer
at the counter of a Jewelry ublih
ttent A group of women, whone man
Bar and appointments Indicated that
they wera ttansers in tha city, were
looking at gold thlmblei, and. Inci
dentally, at various other articles dis
played by the clerk.
"Look here. Mary Ellen," said the
ldest of tha three, holding up to vlow
a flat little square ot gold with richly
chased edgea. "What do ou reckon
this lsT"
"It don't look Ilka anything In par
ticular to me." answered Mary Ellen
after close scrutiny.
"Well! It's a thread-winder, and It's
worth J3.M
"Nine dollars for a thread-winder!"
exclaimed Mary Ellen, aghast at the
Idea. "Well! I never! I alwaya wrap
my old scraps ot thread or silk round
an empty spool or a piece of cardboard,
like the ac-ooped-out piece ot wood the
boys at home wind their Ashing lines
on. That'a right convenient, though,"
the added, examining the pretty bauble
Interestedly.
"Hires something else," said the
third woman, balancing between her
Ongera a pencil-like arrangement ex
quisitely chased and having a smooth,
aval bulb at either end. "I wonder
What this Is for?" And she glanced
appeallngly at the clerk.
"Tbat'a a glove-darner," he ex
plained, much amused at ber perplex
ity. "And bow much does It cost?"
"Eleven dollara."
The trio exclaimed In horror at this
revelation of extravagance and Mrs.
Mary Ellen remarked sternly that $11
would supply hor with gloves for two
years.
AH three examined the glove-darner
critically, and then, pursuing their In
vestigation, speculated in turn as to the
merits ot the solid-gold thlmble-hold-ars,
emery-holders, needle-cases and
other articles that seemed curious to
them. Finally, when a finger protector
was shown, Mrs. Mary Ellen's patience
became exhausted.
"These Idle women ought to be proud
to show a few needle pricks on their
forefinger," she exclaimed. "I'd like to
know how a little needle prick can
hurt"
She did not conceal her amazement
that so Insignificant, everyday affair aa
a little round tape-measure could be
contrived to cost $7, and a small Ivory
ease, equipped with tiny gold-handled
scissors, needle-case, thimble and bod
kin, the value ot which waa $100, nearly
took away her breath.
"It teems outrageous to squander to
many dollars on nonsense," she de
clared, energetically, aa the party left
the shop.
A Traa Itaar Story.
Stranger (up in Maine) "I presume
you have seen a good many bears In
your time."
Hunter" 'Bout a thousand."
Stranger "I wish you would tell me
m bear story a true one, ot course, i
tvery detail exactly as It happened." I
Hunter "Eh? Want a true bear '
tory? Wall, I ewan! All right, I'll
give yen one; but sho! you won't care
tor It Hnck In the sixties, about sixty- '
nine, I think, or mebby it was seventy,
I waa walkln' along, not thlnkln' of
anything In particular, except Josh "
Peabody's chances of election Josh '
and me were great friends when all '
Ot a tudden. Just as I'd crossed a log
over a stream, and sat down on the
further end of the log for a little rest, ;
I felt a Jar, and, looking up, there at
the other end ot the log, with one paw j
on it. was the biggest, ugliest-lookin'
bear you ever see. I had my gun, but
It was empty, and I hadn't as much as
a bird-shot to load with Just going
home, you know. My khuntln'-knife
bad got lost somehow that same day,
and all I had waa an old-fashioned
Barlow pocket-knife, a good deal the
worse for wear. Well, I looked at that
critter, and he looked at me for 'bout
two minutes, when I sort o' sidled oft
the log and crept along up the stream
about twenty feet, meantime opentn'
the old Barlow knife. I Couldn't get
any further on account ot a high bank,
a thicket ot laurels, and the Jagged
roots of a big tree that was blown over.
Well, there I stood, and there that crit
ter stood, me eytn' him and htm eyln'
me, fer full ten minutes, when all of
a sudden . Mighty good cigar this
la."
Stranger "Yes. yes; go on."
Hunter "Oh! yes. All of a sudden
that bear crossed over the log and
walked away."
A Splendid Climbing Rom.
Philadelphia Ledger: No climbing
rose ever introduced haa attained such
widespread popularity In so short a
time as the Crimson Rambler. Al
though it was Introduced this year, over
100,000 plants have already been sold.
To my mind the strongest point in ita
favor la lta hardiness. A prominent
rose grower in the spring of 1S94 set
out two strong plants in his trial
grounds. By fall they had attained a
growth of six feet. They were left
unprotected during the winter, and in
the spring he pegged down one of the
stems to the ground. It broke from
every eye, and in June he counted on
that one stem 320 buds and blossoms.
I regret to say that it U not an ever
bloomer. Stopped 6oma of lb

"Perhaps. They haven't spoken to
each other since,"
The evening breeze which had been
rippling the placid bosom of the ocean
hastened ashore and looked for a tree
through which it might sough a time
or two. Detroit Tribune.

They made a bet. The fat ma
thought he had all the worst of life,
while the thin man held that 6.h waa

"Jut In the ordinary affaire of every
day life," began the fat man.
"That's what I'm herring to." put In
the tbln man. "do home with me thla
afternoon and I'll demonstrate It tor
lupper and theater tlcketa."
So they started together from one of
the big oRlce buildings, and. aa they
were leaving the offlce a man In a big
hurry entered.
The tbln man was able to dodge htm,
but he fouled the fat man, of course.
"There you are." said the fat man aa
soon as he bad recovered bis breath.
"Every blind fool runs Into me."
That'a nothing." returned the thin
man. aa be stepped on the elevator and
waa promptly crowded Into the corner
by a 2'o-pouDd woman.
"We're even," be aald, aa they reached
the Btreet
"Not quite." returned the fat man, aa
he wiped the perspiration from his face.
"You're comparatively cool, while I'm
melting away."
"Out you'll have a chance to be com
fortable when we reach the car."
"No more than you."
"Walt and see."
They each took one of the seata de
signed to hold two persona less than
medium size and for a block were on
equal terms. Then a big man got on.
There were four or five other people
whom he could sit beside, but be singled
out this thin man and aoon had him
wedged In ao tightly that he could
hardly breathe. A few blocks further
on the Beat ahead waa vacated and the
thin man moved to it. Two minutes
later a woman with puffed sleeves got
on and again he waa singled out. She
gave him such an Indignant look be
cauae he could not make all the room
necessary for the sleeves that he got up
and moved to the side of a man ot me
dium size. The man got off at the next
corner and a fat woman took bis place.
Again the thin man waa crowded
against the Bide of the seat and hla face
showed the agony he was In.
"But that waa an exceptional case,"
protested the fat man when the two had
left the car.
"On the contrary. Ifa a regular
thing," replied the thin man. "You can
see It any day If you watch out. The
thin man never gota a seat to himself.
He's always selected as a scat compan
ion and crowded and crushed until hla
bones ache. I'll have that supper with
you to-morrow night."

LEASED THE BLAINE MANSION
Qeorf WMtlnghouaa to lleroma a Resi
dent of Washington.
Washington Special to Pittsburg
Dispatch: It Js understood that
George Westlnghouse has leased the
Blaine mansion on Dupont circle, in
this city. This Is an item ot great im
portance to the Washington social
world, aa Mrs. Westlnghouse during
her winter stay In this city for the past
year or two has been noted for the
magnificent hospitality she has dis
pensed. The Blaine mnnslon is well
adapted to the most gorgeous enter
tainments. It Is an immense house,
separated from Dupont circle by a
small triangular park, but in the very
heart of the city. It was built by Mr.
Blaine before he occupied the old
Seward mansion on Lafayette square,
and was paid for from the proceeds of
his book, "Twenty Years In Congress."
Mr. and Mrs. Westlnghouse are liable
to make a deep Impression on official
and social life In this city. For the
past year or two Senator Brlce, of
Ohio and New York, has been the lead
er In gorgeous entertainments. He
will doubtless have a rival In the air
brake king. it Is not known what
rent will be paid for the Blaine man
sion, but the figures are supposed to
be somewhere between $12,000 and $15,
000 a year. Mr. Westlnghouse Is in
New York and a confirmation of the
above could not be obtained lost nigh;

When the name ot Christ becomes
everything to a Christian, It will do
everything for him.
It anyone has a right to always be
strong and of a good courage, It is the
man who knows that Christ haa saved
him.
- Whenever we know that God haa sent
us, we may also know that he haa gone
before us.
Great things may be done by the
weakest.
Our Christian life Is a failure, If the
church to which selong Is not made
stronger by our rembrshlp.
It we "walk In the light as he is in
the light." we shall be made a blessing
to somebody who sits In darkness.
- No matter where he Is, the man has
an easy place who loves to do God's
will.

happy. "The Joy of the Lord is the
