HE!
THE DRESSMAKER.
JLb Individual of the Female rersuMlon of
Uncertain Ace nd Migratory Habit.
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

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

wish we did. I would like to make ar

only a small increase of duty and re

be interesting to you to know that the

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."

" 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.'

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.

; 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

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

that perhaps after all Fmay never o-et

would laugh at it if he d'd. mav be

Making a Barrel Hammock.
The season for halmnoeks will soon

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

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. Ales. Stccet, hi Arkan-unv Trav

For summer clothing, ga mems mad)

homemade, of a grayish color. These
who are familiar with :h customs of

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. There
were no braids, nor silk serges, nor
fancy sleeve linln .js. such as are used
at the pr-SMit day. Ordinary brown
sheeting or a 1 oiuuiou glazed muslin
were goo I enoig.i at tnat time foi

have any to hoi I ou to."
"A- 1" .-aid b 'for. Mrs. Potts, I buy
2o0 barrels of pork and hold on to it
till March comes, and then pork, ac
cording to my way of thinking, will be
worth a dollar or two more a barrel
than I gave for it, and I'll be anywhere
from $2.30 to ."00 ahead. What do
you think of that, Mrs. Potts?"
