Conic, children, put away your play things, and I will toll you about the dressmaker; a creation which you have all heard of, no doubt, but of which it is not possible you can be fully in formed. A dressmaker, then, is an individual of the female pcrsiiasion;agc, uncer tain; habits, migratory. It is the custom of the dressmaker to roam about from house to house, os tensibly for the purpose of litting dresses to her victims; but this is an error. The dressmaker was never known to be guilty of such au indis cretion. They who have spread the report have injured her grossly. So; the dressmaker does not fit dresses. She has letter business on her hands than airy such trifling affair as that. Her mission is a high and en nobling one. All such commonplace matters as cutting and fitting dresses she relegates to the inferior intelligence of her customers. But let me tell you just what the du ties of the dressmaker are. To-day she is engaged to spend tho day with Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith receive-; the dressmaker with open arms and some twenty or thirty yards of silk. .The dressmaker is kind enough to look at the .silk, and kinder still to sit down and cut it into patches emi nently suitable for insertion in a crazy quilt; in the meantime regaling Mrs. Smith with a full and accurate account of domestic economy as practiced at Mrs. Brown's. While the dressmaker is engaged in this two-fold operation of dissecting Mrs. Smith's Mlt and Mrs. Brown's household afl'airs, Mrs. Smith is kept very busy. Listening to a recital of one's dear friend's eccentricities al ways a delightful occupation and .superintending th preparation of diny ner are quite a strain upon even the '.strongest constitutions. But in process of time dinner is ready, the silk is divided and subdivided to the satisfaction of the dressmaker, and the whole story of Mrs. Brown's domestic economy has be.-n told. That is to say, it seemed 1 1 have been old. But the appearance of the sev eral articles of food upon Mrs. Smith's table reminds tho dressmaker that she has. omitted some very important items, and straightway she proceeds to com part the respective bills of fare pro vide by her hostess and by Mrs. Brown, much to the disadvantage of the .latter. Dinner over,-the dressmaker pins and bastes and ties upon Mrs. Smith all the pieces of silk, big and little, that come convenient; all the while, of course, eu tortaiuing her hostess with most Im proving conversation upon a variety of subjects, embracing almo-t everything under heaveu, from tits' last novel up to the way Mrs. (Irak's servant acted when Mrs. ('ray's baby came down with the measles. The afternoon is consumed in this way, and supper time and Air. Smith come before the trying-on process Ls fairly completed. Mr-. Smith retires to make herself presentable, the dress maker meanwhile gracefully flirting with the lord of the manor. At the tea table, the dressmaker, now having an enlarged audience, re peats with additions and improvements, her esay on th comparative merits of the Smith and the Brown cuisine, and at the close of the meal the dressmaker retires from the field with the proud satisfaction that -lie has shed a radi ance over the Smith household for one day at least, beside-, amply earning the live dollar gratuitv for her d'-tinguished services. The dressmaker and the dress havo no interest in one another from this moment, but during the enduing three weeks that Mrs. Smitli is engaged in sewing, ripping, re-sewing, undoing, rearranging and altering that dress, it is to be prcsumrd that the dressmaker is ever present to her thoughts. How pleasant it is thus to live in the memory of thoe whom vou have bene fited! It is needless to follow the dress maker on her mission of love and use fulness To-morrow she will be irradi ating the household and severing the .silk of Mrs. Black. The only difference jin the d:iy duties will be that, iustead of Mrs. Brown's domestic affairs and Mrs. Brown's cookery, it will ba Mrs. Smith's home economy and Mrs. Smith's cuisine which pas in review. I think I have said enough, children, to show you that the dressmaker does not tit dresses much less make them. 'If vou have any doubt about the truth jof what I hae told you. 1 mwever, vou lammas. who woiuu uettor ask your mammas ; are amply able to satisfy your uncer tainity. Boston Transcript! VALUABLES IN TRUST. The Precaution Taken by Safe Deposit Companies to Preserve Property Kn t rusted to Their Care. With the approach of summer besrins the accumulation in the vaults of the 'safe deposit companies of great piles of family silver-plate, jewelry and valuable property and papers which the house- 'holder about to depart on his vacation fears to leave at home, trusting to the vio-ilanee of the wiliee. We hae now in our vaults," said Safe-Superintendent Clark, of the Ki delitv Iusuran e. Trust and Safe De posit Company, last week, "some four thousand packages, the value of which -1 coidd not bjgin to calculate, for I don't know what they arc really worth. People who leave their property in our charge rarely assess them at their full value, jo thoroughly do they fe-d con vinced of their absolute safety. Lately we have added a upw precaution in the shape of a shock for the jo-sible sneak thief." "Do you havo visits from sneak thieves?' We have had some. For instance, you are coining to visit your property. As you enU-T th gate to the aults you pass the gatekeeper. wio recognizes you by the password. With you enters a well-dressed mau who has just aeco-t-ed you with some simple remark about the weather, to which: you have replied in the same simple manner, and the gatekeeper, th nking he is a friend of vours, .allow- him to go by with you. While you are examining, say some coupon bonds, youi supposed friend brushes a document on to the floor ap parently accidentally. In your excess of politeness you pick it up without looking at it and ask him if it is his. He replies that it i--, thanks you, walks off as if on other business and might es cape from the buildiug before you could give the alarm. But (he gate is closed and can only be opened on the outside and oily on receipt of the password. This gate is also one of our protections against mobs." -Mobs?" "Yes, indeed. Au organized mob could break into the building as far as that poiuL But when that door is closed 1 can direct a current of elec tricity through its steel bars sufficient to kill a man instantly. By the time it Avas broken down our safe doors would be closed and bolted, and then we wouldn't care for anv mob. What do people deposit with "us? Oh. well, it would be ditlicult to saw We don't ask what are the contents of their . trunks. We do not take furniture. I wish we did. I would like to make ar rangements so that, when a family- arc jgin abroad or out of town, 'they should give us uotice and we would un (iirtnlrp tfes packing and trausportiag to our vaults or warerooms of tho com-! plete house contents. Then when tho family are coming back, they should let us know and we would replace every thing as we found it. Of course if would be a great undertaking, but it is only a small increase of duty and re sponsibility after all. Perhap it may be interesting to you to know that the findings on the desks, tables and floors during nineteen years amounted to nearly .$6,000,000, all through the care lessness of safe-renters. With the ex ception of an inconsiderable amount of bonds, coupons and money, as well as a diamond necklace and a few watches, the whole of this large amount has been restored to its rightful owners." "We receivs for safe-keeping," said the Secretary of the Guarantee Com pany, "valuables of all descriptions, such as coupons, registered and other bonds, deeis, mortgages, com, piaie, i bullion, jewelry, clothing and ether j personal effects, assuming all liabilities. J And I can assure you that our deposits i are oi tne most vaneu ucacupuuu. nc have a most perfect system of identifi cation by which it is almost impos ible for any but the right owner to obtain possession of the property intrusted to our charge. We have first of all a guarantee delivered to the owner and a password known only to the owner or such person or persons as he ma' choose to tell it to. Then we have as complete a description as possible of the owner and we require him to sign his name. "Here is an example in poinL A short while ago a lady came here and asked for certain property. She pro duced the guarantee and gave the pass word. I thought I recognized the face, but still I did not fesl altogether, satis fied in my mind about it. I got our de scription book, and then put this singu lar question to her: " You are not so old now asj'ou were when you deposited, this property: can you explain this?' " Oh, yes,' she replied- it was my mother; but she is sick in oed. so she gave me the pass-word and asked me to do her business for her.' "Of course that acco-mted for the strong likeness which had struck me at first However, I had to tell her that unless she produced an order, correctly and full' filled out by her mother. I could not give her admission to the vaulL" In both of these companies' build ings watchmen patrol night and day, fully armed, ind the faitiiful perform ance of the duties is insured by de tectors and electric time-clocks.

LOST HIS RAILROAD NERVE. A Traveling Mun Who If at lidc.iiiid Mor- bidly Fearful of un Accident. A roving theatrical manager and a newspaper man were breakfasting at the Morton House one day last week, when the former remarked: "I am trying to got control of a hous.e of my own, so that I can locate permanently. hi fact, I have lost my railroad nerve." Your railroad nerve; what do you mean?" " Just what I say. I have lost my railroad nerve. Up to about a year ago I felt almost as safe on a railway train as I did in a hotel, but since that time, for some cause or other, I have become morbidly apprehensive ot rail road accidents, and now, when travel ing. I fret and worry all the time. I can't rest in a sleeper any more. Many a time I have lain awake all night, anil even if I do doze, the slightest out-of-the-way jar will startle and arouse me in the most unpleasant manner. If the train slackens its speed. I dread that we are too close to another, and I s'iinetims become so agitated that I leave my berth and walk tho .aisle for an hour at a time." " You should conquer your fears," said the newspaper man. "Whan I step on a train I consider that my fate is in the hands of others that worry or fret .vill not avail one particle to help me in case of trouble and I sleep almost as well in a Pullman or a Wag ner as I do in my own bed." '1 have tried to reason myself out of my tears, was the response, "but I can L I know I have only irot to die once, and that I must die some time. Honestly, though I am not at all dis- I Pe(l to " off tut' hooks just yet, the ; fear of nst:"t death is not so much wnai naunts me as the dread of acci dent that would deprive me of a limb or otherwise cripple me permanently. Did ou ever see a one-armed or one legged theatrical manager or agent? We have hard enough times to get along with all our limbs and faculties. To deprive me of a leg or an arm would be to take away my means of living and ! calls,e1 me resor.t to somo "tlwr that wouiu pernaps maKe me a semi-mcndi- cant. lhat is what I fear, and it is that which has deprived me of mv rail road nerve. I will make almost anv , sacrifice that will enable me to locaie ' :im. reg"n my former buoyancy of . .-jm...-. au-u as i uuk wun you now 1 fret because 1 have to take the train for lJoston to-day, and I won't feel easy in my mind till I get to the end of mv journey, and not then, for I know I have to come back again." "Arc your fears shared bv manv other managers or actors?" "Indeed they are, but few of them care to acknowledge it. 1 know lots of drummers, too, who feel just as I do. Staud in front of a ticket o'lice before the departure of a through train, especially at night, and watch the men buy accident insurance tickets, and vou -will be surprised to And how inauv there are who, like me, have lost their rail road nerve. A year ago I hadn't a grav ha'r in my head. Now there are pleuty of them. Still, if circuni-tances compel", I will be on the road net season, witli only one consoling thought, and that is that perhaps after all Fmay never o-et a scratch, while some one vho never gave the matter a thought, or who would laugh at it if he d'd. mav be killed by a derailment or a collision within a year. It is stranae though, considering how much they travel, how few actors get hurt, and 1 don't believe one in a thousand ever hu; an accident ticket They are too superstitious, and feel that if they were t in-uie thev would Ikj certain to -beat thegame'.and have to die to do iL" X.

The season for halmnoeks will soon be here, and I will tell you how to make a comfortable, iuexnensiv nn li-i your old flour barrel from the cellar or store-room, knock it to pieces, clean and paint the staves. (I like red.) Procure a rope four times in length each place where it is to be suspended, and in size a little larger than a clothes line. Now halve the rope, double each piece in the middle, and commencing two 3ards or so from the end, weave it over asd under ea -h stave about three inches from theVnd of each one, which 'will bring the roie crossed between each; do both sides the same and j-our hummoek is complete. One end of the rope should bo fastened up higher than the other. At first this may not seem firm, but when there is any" weight on it the rope btcolnes "taut, as tlfe sail or.' says, consequently there will be no openings. Qood Cheer, THE EXCHANGE FIEND. A Creature Whoso Staying: Qualities Ar Unappreciated Except by Editors. There is an ancient oriental legend to the effect that once upon a time " a modest looking dromedary stuck his head into the sanctum of a daily news paper and requested to be allowed to fiance over the exchanges. The ao commodating and gentlemanly cdit5r said: "Certainly, with pleasure," and the result was that in a short tme the dromedary was polishing the sacred editorial tripod and had both hoofs on the table, going through the exchanges. j When the editor intimated that he felt I cramp- d. the dromedary replied, ' huui'iroii-ly, that perhaps the ed tor ! would feel more untrammeled if he were on the outside. The moral of this simple little legend is that the proper time to sit down on the exchange fiend is at the opening of the campa-gn. or else he will be an hard to remove from position as a firmly established mother-in-law. It fs a fact that nobody outs de of a newspaper office can understand or ap prec.ate the .staying qualities of an ex change fiend. Thos: who begin the performance with an overture to the ellect that they know newspaper men are always busy, hence they will stay but a moment. are the ones that re semble a French clock, they never go. The exchange fiend is always a ur lliant conversationalist. Different editors have difl'erent campaign plans. Some editors hang up big signs in front of their desks, men as: "Go Hire a Halt and Tell Us All About It." Others have a picture of a death's head and the legend underneath: "This Man Was Talked to Death." Au ex change fiend will read over these ad monitions, laugh and sav: "You have hit'emofltoaT." If the editor has only one chair, the fiend will sit down on th editor's desk, or even on the ed tor himself. Other people dread the power of the press. Not o the exchange fiend. He has the audacity of the flea that takes his breakfast olf the lion's lip. He never realizes his danger. There was once a Texas newspaper man who ran short of material to write up and who thought it would be a joke to enc mrage an exchange fiend, just to see how far he would go, and then write it up. So when the exchange fiend walked in, the editor did not go. as usual, and get "Webster's Una-, bridged," and impressively lay it on the exchanges along with four or five paper weights, to keep the papers from blowing away by the breeze that was not blowing. On the contrary, he told the fiend to help himself. The fiend began to look 'sassy right off. You could see his cheek harden. He re moved his hat. coat vest, cravat and boots, as if he was going in swimming. Then he went to the editorial coat that was hanging on the rack and hunted for a cigar. In doing so he came across several letters and postal cards He was considerate enough to read them, holding the borrowed cigar in his mouth all the time. It was evi dent that the exchange fiend did not require much encouragement, so the editor determined to give him a little sarcasm. "If there is anything you want that you don't see. just ask for it.'" said the editor. The fiend took a puff of the cigarand said: Cussed poor cigar. Where did they give them to you? I want to steer clear of that place. By the way, there are some New York papers that I want you to get. Have 'em put on your ex change list. I'll give you a list of the papers I want." The fiend was perfectly serious: so was the editor, who rallied and re marked with a sneer: "Don't you want me to turn over the Post-oflice key to you? Perhaps vou would like to open the money-order letters?" "You do need a trtisincss manager, but I fancy you would hardly be able to pay me my price to take hold of your business department." It became still more evident that this fiend did not require much more en couragement to feel perfectly at case. Oiice more the ed tor's face was wreathed in scorn, as he said: "I am going t- have a telephone put up between th's olliee, an-l -our resi dence, so you will be able to spend some of your time at home." "This is good enough for me right here, if 3-011 will fill a side basket, and have some more pegs to hang clothes on," replied the demon, tearing the wrappers oil" the exchanges. The amusing feature of this conver sation is that it actually took place. It is a pecul arity of the newspaper bore that he is perfectly honest in believing that he is the only visitor to the oilice who is not a bore, hence any hint you may give him to clear out is taken as the spirit of banter, as if it were pleas antly and not seriously meant for him at all.

The conservatism of our country folk, in the matter of medicine, com prises it may be said, almost all their conservatism. They are beginning to regard ghosts and bogles as stuff and nonsense; they have learned to be moderate in the'r estimation of the Landoner. regarding h'm as neither a very marvelous nor a very terrible be ing; they have forgotten their old cus toms to a very great extent, and their old .-ongs entirely; but to a wonderful extent they believe in theetlicacyof the remedies handed down almost un changed from the days when the monks were the sole depositaries of medical and surgical knowledge. Our simple gatherer is, therefore, a sort of doctor iu his way. He believes firmly that apoplexy, paralysis, gout, and rheu matism are to be allev.ate.I bv use of wall-flowers: that the canterbury bell or throat wort is good for swell ngs or inflammation -of the throat; that golden rod stops blood-flow; that Jesuit's bark cures ague: that the "golden water, ' made from lilies of the valley, is good to strengthen the limbs of children; that red valerian, peony and columbine are invaluable peony" in especial has tening the growth of children s teeth, its dried roots being tied round their necks. He can tell us all about the carminative hot and cold seeds, the opening roots, the emollient herbs, the capillary herbs, the sudorific woods, the cordial tlowers. the vast list of flowers and roots which cure diseases of corresponding form such as nettle tea for nettle-ra-h. worm root for lunacy, liver-wort for liver complaints, saftron flowers for tcarlet fever. He works hard, early and late; for his oc cupation necessitates a good deal of trespassing. Long before the wood man has shouldered his ax and started for the copses, the gatherer of simples may be seen creeping along the banks of sedgy streams, or knee deep in the grass and flowers of pleasant fields, or drooping along hedgeways, or pushing his way through thick undergrowth, always in a shamefaced sort of way, for liis chief enemy, the keeper, can not be persuaded that a man carrying a stout stick and a basket is not after rabbits or anv other marketable creature that comes handy.

For summer clothing, ga mems mad) from flax were worn, homespun and homemade, of a grayish color. These who are familiar with :h customs of the West forty years a,o will at once recall the flax clothing worn by men, whose usual summer attav was a pa r of linen pantaloons and a pair of b:oad saddle-girth suspenders, flax shirt, straw hat and stogy ln.e ; or boots.

Tiie cloth was heavy aud serviceable, home spun, and fulled at the mill, leaving it a sort of lig.it drab color. It was made long, and over the shoulder was a layer of from three to four capes, the b.itlom one being the longest, and the succeed ing ones gradually tapering oil. Br j.ht brass buttons,' abouL the size of tho or dinary s Iver quarter dollar, were the only decoration. T..e lining was ol homemade flannel or liusey.

I f Anv traveler who has crossed the wild upland reg'on lately occupied by Rus sia on the bor ler of Afghanistan, and has sen tho Turcoman camps and Afgh in villages with which it is stud ded, has surveyed at one glane the past and the present Central Asia. The fortress-like Afgh.i hamlet, with its huge gray mud wall and narrow, sinis ter loop holes, behind which the low, llat-r.ofe I earthen hovels hu.Idl ! so c'osely together as barely to leave pas sage room between them, repre.sentg the marauding shepherd of the East in h's more advanced slag.? of lixed resi d 'tice in one spot, but still retaining enough of his guerilla nature to regard every stranger as an enemy and to build every house l'ke a fort. The light Tur coman ten of felt and sapling , set up or pulled down in a lew moments tvpi . . . 1 1 T l.es the same r.ian in his onir.ual char acter as a wandering herdsman.

Hut despite all these bandit qualities the Turcoman at home is not a bad fel low by any mean-. Drawing bridle on the crest of one of those lonir. low swells that break at t mes the gray unending s inieness of the vast plains of Central Asia, you see below 3-011 a tiny stroain. sharply outline I agaiu-t the . surrounding de-ertby tin dark b"lt of nndergrowth friugmg it.

The Turcoman "Beg," or Chief (for sued lie is;, greets you with a guttural "Kosh ame.leid" (you are Welcome) mo: e reassuring than the short curved saber within reach of his baud, which shows by its notches that it has once done a thrifty business. But its master is now a tolerably peaceable subject of Kussia. converted by that persuasive strategy which might give a hint to the invaders of the Soudau: "We never wasted time in pursuing them, but beset the water-courses whither they must repair sooner or later, and then we had them at our mercy." He kindly offers you a seal on a newly flayed and still bloody sheepskin and hands you an earthen jar of milk and a wooden spoon, licking the latter clean as a special compl i Bieut. Should you arrive on the day of unwonted plenty, which results from a camel's death by age or disease, you may preface with the blue, stringy meat bowl of "brick-tea" with salt for sugar nd rancid fat for cream. The Chiefs little brown girls, who crowd around you to play with your sash tassels and the fringe of your turban, wear a small brass coin imbedded in the skin of the forehead, a Turcoman lady's traditional ornament ever since Isaiah denounced its Hebrew counterpart. But with all this hospitality you will do wisely not to prolong your call, as every Tur coman tent swarms with "indigenous creepers" not classified by any botanat A', r. Tmes.
