A TALK ABOUT RICH GIRLS.
ANY poor men would like a
M wife with a fortune , because a
fortune is undeniably a handy
< hng ! to have in one's family , but the
men who look to marriage as a means
of support are comparatively few , and
usually their attitude towards life is so
obvious that no fairly sensible rich girl
need be taken in by them. No man
who is not a fool or a rascal will wish to
marry a woman , be she rich or poor ,
with whom he does not believe be can
live happily. But there is no such thing
as a marriage in which one partner is
happy and the other not. Either it is a
good marriage for both or for neither.
Marriage is as much , or very nearly
as much , a failure to a man who is not
happy with a rich wife as to one who is
not happy where both are poor. What
the rich girl wants is just Avhat the
poor girl wants a good man who suits
her , and who is worth marrying. If
she can satisfy herself that her suitor
is a good man , and that he has sense
enough to provide for his own happi
ness , she need not distress her mind
with speculations as to how much
weiirht her fortune has in promoting his
attentions. The man who wants to mar
ry her merely because she is rich" is un
worthy , and if she has a fair degree of
discernment she will detect his unwor-
thiness. But the man who wants to
marry her , and is glad she has a fortune
because it makes marriage more feasi
ble for both of them , is not necessarily
unworthy , but if she loves him he may
be an advantageous person for her to
marry.
The practical turn of mind which
makes a man appreciate the advan
tages of accumulated money does not
necessarily render him in any respect
incapable of appreciating a woman , or
of repaying her confidence in him with
entire devotion and fidelity. Her for
tune , far from being a drawback to
her happiness after marriage , will still
be hers , and will still be about as useful
to her as it was before. The possession
of it will help to make her an equal
partner in the household , and , indeed ,
will tend , especially if it is too big , to
make her the ruling partner , so that
she will have need to exercise some dis
cretion to avoid having too much her
own way. That may be bad for her ,
but ifis one of the risks rich girls must
run. It is offset by the risk the man
runs in having his future too much
dominated by his wife's money ; but if
the man is the right sort of man and the
woman the right sort of woman , both
risks may be safely taken. In the end
it is character and disposition that
count , and the money , be there much or
little , and whoever has it , becomes an
incident and no more. Harper's Ba-
zar.
Many a baby cries with colic , and
suffers with insomnia simply because
it is cold ; and the nurse walks up and
down the floor with it , and pleases her
self with the idea that it is motion that
is relieving the child's crying. In real
ity , it is because the little thing re
ceives warmth and comfort from the
.adult body. Other things being equal ,
I believe in a crib for the night and a
cradle for the day ; not the swinging-
basket affairs which are fashionable ,
"but the old-fashioned cradle with mod
ern rockers , which gives the baby just
SL little bit of a jog , and so relieves the
tedium of a life spent absolutely in re

Here is an effective method of reliev

of food "down the windpipe. " It has
long been the fashion to slap the suffer

ducing any especial results. Fond
mothers , in order to relieve their "poor
darlings , " should observe the following
.simple method : Seize both hands of
the child and hold his arms in a per
pendicular position. The consequent
widening of the chest will at once re
move the cause of the discomfort-

Onlj- .
It was only a trill of sweet laughter
That rang through the quaint old room ,
That echoed from each lowly rafter ,
Ami banished the stillness and gloom ,
But it won , from its evil designing ,
A heart that was sullen and wild ,
And a life was redeemed from repining ,
By the innocent laugh of a child.
It was only a kind word of greeting ,
A welcoming word and a smile :
The lips a sweet message repeating ,
From a heart that was free from all
guile.
And one who was weary with sorrow ,
Looked up from her vigil of pain ,
And , filled with new hope for the mor
row ,
Thanked God , and took courage again.

What Women Find to Do.
"It is unreasonable to expect that a
jnan , with his purely masculine concep
tion of things , can ever fully appreciate
a woman's work in the home , any more
than a woman can be expected to un
derstand fully a man's work in the
outer world , " writes Edward Bok in
the Ladies' Home Journal. "But so
far women have acquired a truer con
ception of men's work than men have
of women's work. I firmly believe
that if men were more appreciative
of women's work in the home , and re
garded housewifery as a profession
and a responsible one , deserving of the
highest respect , and requiring quite as
much brain and education as any mas
culine profession , there would be fewer
women looking for broader fields of
work and more responsible duties.
Men have made women feel too keenly
that it is w"hat the man does ; that it is
his profession which moves the world ,
and that the work which a woman
does in her home is , while necessary ,
yet hardly to be compared with a man's
achievements. It is this holding up
the greater which has driven many an
ambitious woman into that world to
become a part of it , and thus acquire
a position of more apparent import
ance. Not given recognition in their
natural work , women have gone out
and tried work that is unnatural to
them. "
Girls Shunned by Men.
There are many girls who are shun
ned by men , and for the most part the
fault lies with themselves. The girl
who never exercises herself to be agree
able unless she can have everything her
own way is one of them , for there is
not a man alive who will give way in
everything to a girl. The girl who
scolds is another type ; she may be per
fectly good-tempered , but she has con
tracted the scolding habit , and so shi
is left alone to scold at her pleasure.
Then there is the girl with the
haughty manner and cold stare. No
man dares to make love to her , because
there is nothing whatever to love in
her. So the girl scowls at what she
considers their bad taste , utterly Ignor
ant of the fact that her own foolish
conduct is the sole cause of their neg
lect Another girl without a lover is
the painfully shy maiden. She likes to
see men at a distance , but the moment
they draw near she drives them back
with embarrassment They retire sim
ply out of pity , seeing her distress and
awkward bashfuluess. Last on the list
comes the girl who always has some
thing smart to say about every one she
sees , ridiculing people in order to be
considered clever , little knowing how
men intensely dislike to hear her pull
ing everybody's character to pieces for
their amusement

TALK ABOUT SKIRTS.
8LLUSTRATIONS SHOWING SEV
ERAL OF THE NEW THINGS.
Separate Skirts Suitable for Use with
Several Bodices Are Again Coming
Into Vogue , Though the High Price
Bars Them from Common Acceptance.
New York correspondence :
AVING separate
skirts suitable for
use with several
bodices has been
well nigh impossi
ble since skirts have
been so elaborate.
A revival of it is
now beginning , and
takes an authorita
tive start , since
high-class designers
are concerned in it.
In considering the
new sort of separ
ate skirt that this
first picture pre
sents , don't be dis
couraged because it
is in the high-priced
grade. It is a brand
*

other brand new
schemes linds its first expression in costly
mediums. The material of the skirt was
putty colored broadcloth , and it was elab
orated in the manner the picture indi
cates with lace insertion through which
the lining showed. Such a skirt is suita
ble for wear with any fancy bodice may
be worn , indeed , almost as generally as
were the skirts of black satin or taffeta
a little while ago. It was made "drop"
over the silk lining , and may have several
underskirts of silk in colors to harmonize
it with different waists. It was sketched
with a bodice of delicate green surah-
taffeta overlaid with dull yellow Irish
crochet lace , and the underskirt matched
the green of the bodice. To extend the
usefulness of the skirt still further , it
could have a bodice of cloth to go over this
silk and lace affair , and to show much or
little of it. Or the cloth bodice could be
over a much simpler garment. A daintily
lined cape with the collar elaborated with
frillery and white will complete the cos
tume.
tume.With
With practically all forms of overdress
there is no chance for economy in pairing
the skirt with different waists. As dou
ble skirts are a majority of all that are
dressy , that means a good deal. Of the
double skirts worn , none is more grace
ful than that which has the overdress long
at the back and sloping to the knees in the
front. In this there is absolutely no drap
ery , and the overgown is sheath-like at
the back. Several other sorts are pre
sented in these pictures , whose originals
were chosen with a view to making a va
ried showing. That of the left-hand fig
ure in the first large cut is the sort that
makes the observer wonder perish the
thought ! if the overdress draped on the
hips is in sight. Most of its kind are made
with a silk top to the underskirt , and now
that there is a strong fancy for combin
ing cloth and silk , the entire under portion
is not uncommonly of silk.
Tobacco brown cloth was the material
in this case , and the cuirass bodice , en
riched with black cording and worn with
a white front , was very stylish. Its form
of shoulder finish is one that is entirely
safe , for while many sleeves are entirely
plain from wrist to shoulder , epaulette or
shoulder trimming is by no means gone by.
Slim women are in great luck this year
if they only knew it and also how
to take advantage of the opportu
nities offered by current fashions.
They are often heard to complain
of the hardships they are put to by
ihe sheath fit. True , they are thus at a
disadvantage , but so is the woman of too
great girth , and the latter doesn't have
so fashionable alternatives as does her
slim sister. Take the third gown in this
row , for instance , there is a stylish dress
finely adapted to a wearer who lacks hip
line. If any padding is needed below the
waist , a very little will give curve , and
the free swing of the triple skirt effect
at back and sides brings a good line from
the waist. Besides , the unbroken sweep
to the waist restores height , while the
princess effect of bodice in its combining
with the double skirt takes full advan
tage of the slender waist and delicate
torso. This gown was gray vicuna , the
yoke overlaid with gray Irish netA

modification of the yoke cut that allows

over the yoke on one side. One-side trim
ming is much used just now , both on skirt
and bodice.
As to their skirts , the two models re
maining in this picture are alternatives
offered to the woman who won't adopt the
double skirt. One is a surrender compro
mise , since it includes an overskirt effect ,
and the other by being entirely plain is
relegated to the field of gowns planned to
withstand a deal of wear. The fiat trim
ming of the former outlining a double
skirt is a generally satisfactory compro
mise. As a rule it is so arranged that
the skirt can fasten under it either at the
back , side or to one side of the front.
Fastening immediately at the back is
avoided. The ornamental placket is going
by. It was not pretty and was fatal if
not perfectly adjusted. Some elaborate
effects are accomplished by laying on
bands of satin , which in turn are overlaid
with bands a little narrower of lace , em
broidered net , or in some cases of the
cloth of which the dress is made. That
was the treatment in this instance , red
cheviot beingtrimmed Avith red satin over
laid with chenilled net in black. The pic
tured gown for hard service was blue
brilliantine. The fullness of its skirt at
the back was laid flat in a lot of tiny
pleats sewed tight to well below the waist.
Under one of them the placket was hid
den. Lots of these dresses are worn , and
they are modish , also a lot more suitable
than an elaborated and delicate cloth , for
shopping , marketing , morning classes ,
etc.
etc.Three
Three different types of overdress are
presented in the other picture. First
is a polonaise , a cut than which there is
nothing more becoming to a handsome fig
ure , but that requires careful making.
It is finely suited to the beautiful pastel
cloths , the clinging crepes and the softly
gleaming silken weaves now offered. The
woman who can afford several gowns
should surely have one polonaise gown ,
though they are suited only to outside
wear of some formality. The underskirt
must be so plain that it can serve only
with the polonaise , and the use of the
gown must be confined to such short sea
son as one can dispense with an outer
wrap. The pictured design was in blue
pastel cloth , bound with gray blue silk ,
steel embroidered.
The second of these dresses was an odd
combination of silk and cloth. Oddity or
striking unusualness is a dangerous thing
to attempt in dresses thus composed , for
in any woman's hands there is always the
chance that the result will seem patchy.
That , of course , means dire failure. This
model was an especially risky one , but its
planning was skillful and the gown was
AS OVEBSKIRTS ARE VARIED.
handsome. Its gray camel's hair was
over a skirt of gray silk elaborated with
chenilled yellow net. The bodice , of gray
silk , was draped with black liberty gauze
finished with net edge to match that on
the skirt.
Last of all the artist shows an unusual
adaptation of the overdress to house wear.
Piazza use , too , will be a later fate of this
dress. It was tea colored nun's veiling ,
sprayed with little green sprigs. The
graceful princess overgown was cut low
to show a soft green yoke matching the
green underskirt. The veiling laced at
the back to well below the waist line.
Back fastening to the bodice is much in
favor , but it demands an almost faultless
figure. This design as given would be
pretty for a summer silk.

Moulting Angels.
An amusing story in connection with
the great Bishop Wilberforce was told
last evening by Dr. Newman Hall when
speaking at a temperance meeting in
the city. He once asked the Bishop if
it was true that on one occasion , after
examining a Sunday school , lie said ,
"Now , children. , I have been asking you
a lot of questions. Just ask me one. "
A lad promptly took the divine at his
word and put the following poser :
"P-p-p-please , sir , w-w-what use was
Jacob's 1-Haddor to the angels if they
had w-w-wings ? " The Bishop was said
to have been puzzled , and walked the
school room pensively , until a bright
idea struck him , and wheeling round
to the boys , cried authoritatively ,
"Now , boys , you have beard that ques
tion. Why don't you give it an an
swer ? " To his lordship's further sur
prise , one of the children had an an
swer ready , to the effect that the angels
could not at that time use their wings
because they were "moulting. " Dr.
Hall was careful to add that the Bishop
denied being the hero , or otherwise , of
the story , but audience enjoyed it con-
sumedly. St. James Gazette.
No Females There.
There is only one territory of any
size , and never bas been but one , oc
cupied by any considerable population ,
from which woman is absolutely ex
cluded. Yet such a place exists to
day , and has existed for centuries. As
far back as history reaches , to all fe
males it has been forbidden ground.
This bachelor's Arcadia is situated on
a bold plateau between the old penin
sula of Acte , in the Grecian Archipela
go , and the mainland. Here in the
midst of cultivated fields and extensive
woodlands , dwell a monastic confedera
tion of Greek Christians , numbering
more than 7,000 souls , and not one of
the monasteries dates from a later time
than the twelfth century. A few sol
diers guard the border of this anti-
female land , and no woman is allowed
to cross the frontier. Nor is this all.
The rule is extended to every female
creature , and from time immemorial no
cow , mare , hen , cluck or goose has been
permitted to make acquaintance with
this territory.
One of Bengal's Popular Gods.
The god Dokhinray is much wor
shipped in the southern rural districts
of Bengal. The name signifies , "Lord
of the South , " and is intended to affirm
that the god rules over the wild beasts
occupying the dense jungles and im
penetrable forests of the notorious
Suuderbunds skirting the Bay of Ben
gal. The peasants worship this sylvan
deity in order that their villages and
fields may be preserved from the in
cursions of such wild animals. The
images are made of clay and painted
white , having the nose , eyes , mouth ,
etc. . marked in with black paint. The
bead is always adorned with a broad
tall mitre. They are usually placed
under a tree or on an artificial mound
facing the south. As the god is sup
posed to perform such a useful func
tion in keeping away tigers , boars , and
crocodiles , he is exceedingly popular in
the outlying districts of Southern Ben
gal.

WOULD HARNESS THE OCEAN.
New York Man Invents Machine to
Get Power from the Tides.
The patent office has issued to Mr.
Reed , a resident of New York , a patent
for a device by which the power of the
tides may be utilized. It is declared
that by the new invention the question
of the exhaustion of the coal supply
becomes a matter of small considera
tion. The ocean can be made to afford
power for every conceivable purpose
and to an extent beyond the scope of
human computation. Wherever the
ocean tides are felt to any appreciable
extent there can be built a power plant
In operating the Reed tide power-
plant no coal or other form of steam
producing material is necessary , for
steam is not required. Electricity can
be manufactured at a ridiculously
small cost in sufficient quantities to
permit its use for all of the purposes
for which it is desired , and the electric
plant of to-day is to become a thing of
the past. The great city can be made
as light as if in the full glare of the
noonday sun , and for a trifle in com
parison with the sum now expended for
electric lighting. All these things are
to come to pass if Reed's confident
hopes are realized.
In his method of harnessing the ocean
and forcing its resistless motion to
work for man Reed believes that he
has come as near solving the problem
of perpetual motion as human ingenu
ity will ever suggest. The tides are
stationary at their ebb and flow , but
the new invention provides that the
machinery shall continue producing
power while the ocean is practically at
rest.
rest.The
The main proposition can be illus
trated by taking a basin and erecting
in its center a stationary metal post.
Then take a block of wood with a hole
through its center and slip it over the
metal post. Fill the basin with water.
As the basin fills the block of wood
rises and when the water is allowed to
run out through an aperature in the
bottom of the basin , representing the
ebbing of the tide , the block of wood
slides downward on the post. Power
is produced from the pressure of the
block as it rises and falls.
How this power is captured and dis
tributed is illustrated in the illustration
herewith produced. Figure 1 is a beater
or scow , as represented by the block
of wood. No. 2 is a creek or pond
dammed to hold water that runs into it
at high tide and held for use when the
tide has gone out. On the city river

that the ground surface may be used.
No. 3 is a reservoir built in front of
the scow to bold water emptied from
the deck of the scow at high tide , so
that the scow , lightened of its load of
water after it bas risen to the level of
high tide , may continue rising through
its own buoyancy and continue the
power beyond the highest rise of the
tide.
The reservoir may be dispensed with
and the waste water may be allowed to
run into the ocean or river , but it is im
portant as a secondary source of power.
When it has been filled at high tide and
the tide falls , then the water may be
released , as shown at No. 4 , and give
power for a wheel , as in the advance

fall.No.
No. 5 is the well hole or caisson , as
represented by the hole in the block of
wood. No. G is a steel shaft passing
through the well , as represented by the
metal post in the basin. It rests on and
is cemented and bolted to piling driven
into the solid eartb and reaching just
above the water at highest tide.
No. 7 is a steel sbalt connected at its
base witb the scow , and at its top with
the short end of the main shaft and
providing the means by which the
power acquired by the rise and fall of
the scow is applied to the main shaft
and through which the speed of the rise
and fall of the scow is increased or
multiplied. The shaft is used for mul
tiplying speed in preference to gearing ,
as friction is thereby saved.
No. S is the main shaft , moved up and
down by the rise and fall of the scow
as it rises and falls witb the tide. No.
10 is a cogwheel on shafting and sep
arable from the fanlike main shaft It
represents the point of power contact
and moves round and round as the
cogged railway , No. 9 , is moved up and
down by the rise and fall of the tide.
No. 9 is a cogged , semicircular rail ,
attached to and a part of the main shaft
and affording power by causing the
cogwheel , No. 10. to revolve and turn a
shaft with belting running to ma
chinery to be operated.
Say that the deck of the scow is deep
enough to hold eight feet of water.
When the tide is out and the scow bas
reached the full depth of low tide
water is allowed to run from the creek
or pond on shore to the empty deck.
The weight of the water forces the
scow down below low-water mark , and
the downward movement of the scow
affords continuous power while the
ocean is at rest.
As the tide rises the scow is lifted up ,
and when it reaches the level of high
tide and can rise no further because of
the weight of the water on its deck the
water Is allowca TO run oft into the re3 j
ervoir , No. 3 , and the scow continues to > '
rise through Its own buoyancy.

JUDGE KIDDLE'S HOUSE.
Judge Biddle is past SS years of age
and was born in Logan , Ohio. He was
admitted to the practice of law in Cin
cinnati , Ohio , in 1839 , and gained at
once the privilege of the State Supreme
and United States Supreme Courts. He
moved to Logansport in 1S39 , when the
city was larger than Chicago. The
stone house he bought and is now using
for a residence had been built in 1S3G
by Gen. Tipton , the hero of Tippecanoe.
The judge was in charge of the Circuit
Court for years. In 1874 he was elected
a judge of the State Supreme Court In
1840 he was a member of the State Con
stitutional convention.
His unusual education was entirely
self-acquired. His great library is the
result of a desire to get all the good and
interesting books , and by adding con
stantly through the many years of his
life it grew to its present proportions ,
which make it the largest private 1I- .
brary in the State and one of the
largest private collections in the coun
try. Among his volumes are many
original editions which are now very
rare and valuable. . Among them are
Audubon's original books on natural
history , with colored illustrations ,
which are now quoted in some places
at § 1,700. Among his papers is the
commission of Gen. George Rogers
Clark for his campaign of the North
west signed Jan 12 , 1770. by Patrick
Henry. Governor of Virginia. Chicago

Very Humane.
Doctor Gruby , a physician of Paris ,
was famous for his efforts to protect
animals from cruelty. He went beyond
those who are humane simply as far as
four-footed creatures ; he was logical
enough to include insects in his mercy.
He was , however , a little nervous ,
and when one day , in his parlor , a big ,
blue fly buzzed uninterruptedly on a
window-pane , the doctor's patience be
came a little worn , and he called his
man-servant
"Do me the kindness , " said the doc
tor , "to open the window and carefully
put that fly outside. "
"But , sir , " said the servant , who
thought of the drenching the room
might get through an open casement ,
"it is raining hard outside ! "
The doctor still thought of the fly ,
and not of his cushions.
"Oh , is it ? " he exclaimed. "Then
please put the little creature in the
waiting-room , and let him stay there
till the weather is fair ! " Youth's Com
