"Yes.- chimed In the second, "Dr.
rarkhurst Is exactly right. There la
no career like marriage for a woman."
"If I didn't think there was a good
man growing up somewhere for my lit
tle girt I would be miserable," said
No. J. as she patted the golden curls
of a tiny maiden at her knee.
"You are right No woman doctors
and woman lawyers for me," said the
fourth matron, with dignified em
phasis. To any one familiar with the his
tories of these women their opinions
would furnish food for serious reflec
tion. The first speaker bad married
a man who bad never made a living for
bis family, except In rare and brief
Intervals of good luck. From the af
fluence of ber maiden days she had de
scended to such depths of poverty that
at one time she was forced to sell cakes
on the streets to keep ber children
from starving.
Th husband of the second was a man
whose salary gave his family a com
fortable living for the first ten years
of their married life, but he waa strick
en with paralysis before the prime of
life. The eldest child, a boy of great
promise, died at the age of 12, the fath
er followed him In a few years, and
the wife waa left to support three
young children and herself as best she
could.
The third was the widow of a bril
liant professional man. Bho had $20,000
In her own right. Her husband ran
for some office, was defeated, took to
gambling and drinking and died of de
lirium tremens In a few years. She,
KANSAS CITY, Mo. too, had to solve the problem of mak
ing a living for herself and two small
children.
The fourth woman had married rath
er late in life a widower of small means
and mediocre talents, and, after six
years of wedded life, she had put on
widow's weeds and entered the lists

A Thrilling Tala of Koecao
from Kv.rett,
The Everett correspondent of the
Seattle rout-Intelligencer says the fol
lowing story is vouched for by Capt,
Falrbairn of the steamer Florence
Henry: James Wilson started from
that steamer to shore but stuck In the
quicksand of the Snohomish river, with
water up to his armpits and the tide
coming in. All efforts to pull him out
proved fruitless and his companions
saw that In a few minutes the water
would be over his head. "Like an in
spiration," says the correspondent,
"came the plan of rescue. A small Iron
pipe about four feet In length was
brought from the boat and placed in
Wilson's mouth. He could use his arms
to steady it Then oakum was used to
cover hJa mouth around the pipe, and
over the oakum was placed a covering
of white lead, making it water tight
The man's nostrils and ears were
plugged up in like manner with oakum
snd white lead. It was found that be
could breathe freely through the pipe
and, thus equipped, Wilson relieved of
fear and confident of bis release In a
short time calmly awaited the rising
of the tide, which finally covered his
bead to the depth of six or eight inches.
His companions stood by him faithful
ly In a small boat and It was not mor
than about three-quarters of an hour,
although It seemed an age, when the
waters had receded far enough to let
bis head out of water and he could feel
that the crisis was passed. When the
tide had gone out sufficiently to un
cover the flat, willing bands soon did
the work of shoveling the sand away
and amid general rejoicing Wilson was
taken Bafely aboard the steamer appar
ently none the worse for his thrilling
adventure."

A Nle Question of Law.
A wealthy German, Intent upon a
day's outing, wanted to hire a horse
dealer's best horse and trap, but not
knowing his man the horse dealer de
murred at trusting them In his bands,
Determined to have his drive, the Ger
man proposed paying for the horse and
vehicle, promising to sell them back
at the same price when he returned,
To that the other saw no objection, so
bis customer's wants were supplied
and off he went
He was back in time at the stables,
his money reimbursed according to con
tract and he turned to go.
"Hold on," exclaimed the dealer,
"you have forgotten to pay for the
hire."
"My dear sir," was the cool reply
"there Is no hiring In the case. I have
been driving my own horse and trap all
day," and he left the astonished man
to his reflections. Exchange.

Cheaper la th English Metropolis Than
In New York.
The London Dally Graphic, In com
menting upon a paragraph which ap
peared in this column some time ago
concerning the pay of literary workers,
smiles at the Idea of f 5,000 a year being
regarded as a small Income. I never
said that it was a small Income. What
did say was that it was small In pro
portion to the demands upon It. It
would be good pay for a bachelor, but
not for a gentleman of family.
The Graphic closes Its remarks by
saying: "We know of scores of literary
workers in London who, In the historic
phrase of the cabman, 'wish that they
had half the complaint of the new
paupers of New York." urom tne
Graphic's point of view, $5,000 a year
la a good deal of money, tor the Graphio
Is a London paper, and $2,500 a year in
London is equal to $5,000 In New York.

English Estate. Passing.
The policy of disposing of unentailed
estates hss been introduced in Eng
land by the titled gentry, who need the
money more than they do the owner
ship of the soil. During the spring or
early summer between 3,000 and 4,000
acres of Countess of Warwick's Essex
estates will be put up for sale by auc
tion. The vast property, which Includes
Newenham Hall Farm, on which are
three of the famous hills or barrows
known as Bartlow Hills, where num
erous antiquities have been found, will
be submitted as a whole. But, antici
pating the tendency of the times, the
rendor has agreed, if not successful,
to have it put up Immediately after
ward In lots arranged, as far as pos
sible, so that the tenants will have an
opportunity of acquiring the freehold
of their holdings. San Francisco
Chronicle.
From an Old Mint,
It is evident that the recent bond sale
drew many old stockings containing
hoarded gold from their hiding places.
In a lot of gold paid Into the treas
ury a day or two ago were five rare old
gold coins. They were $3 gold pieces,
and bore the dates of 1842 and 1S47, jet
appeared fresh and bright. On the
faces of the coins appeared the letter D,
the mark of the old mint at Dahlonega,
Ga. The mint at uanionega was
seized by the confederates shortly after
the outbreak of the war, and gold
coin to the amount of $27,000 was con
fiscated. The pieces received at the
treasury the other day were probably
among those confiscated In 1861. The
total coinage of the Dahlonega mint
was about $6,000,000, but few of Its coins
are In circulation. Those received at
the treasury the other day were the
first that have shown up there for a
good many years. Boston Post,

Real Fir. I Invisible.
No eye, says a scientific writer, has
ever seen real fire. The flame Is leap
ing in strange, fantastic form, fifteen or
twenty inches upward from the coal
and with It is a good deal of black,
sooty smoke. The sooty smoke and
the flames are one and the same, with
only a difference of temperature. The
soot which forms the flame is red hot.
Every particle of the flame is red hot
coal or a particle of the carbon. The
real fire we do not see. The Instant
that the carbon atoms become really
burned, eaten up by the oxygen of com
bustion, they are Invisible. In burning
three pounds of carbon, the heated
state of which gives us flame, the fire
work Is done by eight pounds of oxy
gen. The oxygen we do not see. The
carbon we only see Just before It is
burned; and the result of the burning
Is eleven pounds of the compound of
oxygen and carbon which Is Invisible.
