Arthur ( Inham.
She hart n parcol. small and round ,
One lovely nlternoon lost summer , .
1 ottered as In duty bound.
To take It from tier.
Sha thankwl mo wltli n gracious smile.
As sucet as rosy llus could make It ;
It was so fiinnll , t'w.ts not worth while ,
To let me take It.
Again I ottered ns before ,
Of that slight burden to relieve her ,
bhe'd rather not : "Pray , say no morel"
'Twotild really grieve her.
1 ceased to plead ! she seemed content ;
The tliln was small nnu neatly eoidcd ,
And so nlonir our way wo went
To whore shu boarded.
Hut when upon the stoop she stood ,
And ere our last' adieus were uttered ,
She eyed mo In a roguish mood ,
And softly muttered.
As swung tno door to let her through ,
And left me there nil unresisting :
" 1 don't think very much ot you
Tor not Insisting. "
Qnoen of Iloumanln.
Ne\v York Mnil and Express : Among
tUo presents which Emperor William received
ceivod on liis birthday ono of the most
remarkable ones was a poem by the queen
of Houmanlii. In a hundred short verses
Carman Sylva had described the chief
incidents of the soldier's lifetime , She
had , moreover , copied it out herself in
lior own hand on white parchment ,
beautifully ornamented by corn-flowers.
When there was no kingdom of Uomania
in existence she had laughingly said : "I
do not want to marry unless I can bo
queen of Houmanla"andasso of ton happens -
pens , the caroless.thoughts of youth found
their accomplishment. Kunninp down
the palace stairs at Berlin ono day her
foot slipped , and she would probablv have
boon killed but for 1'rinco Charles , of
Hohenzollorn. who saw hot danger and
caught her in his outstretched arms.
When lloumania chose him for ruler ho
clamed the princess for his bride. Dur
ing the Uttsso-Turkish war she wore the
uniform of the Hed Cross , and as a nurse
helped to soften and asBiweo the milter
ings which war inevitably urines in its
train. At the close of the struggle Plevna
had given a royal throne to the prince
and princess , and their crowns were
made out of cannon captured from the
cneniy. _
j Girls of Honduras.
Atlanta Constitution : On the outside
of the windows are heavy iron bars ,
which have a decidedly prison-liko ap
pcarancc. These servo a dual purpose
licsidcs being a protection in times of
revolution , they are also a protection to
tbo Bcnontas.
"All the lovemaking is done through
-these bars , as the young ladies are very
closely guarded in Honduras. They are
never seen alone , always being in charge
of some elderly chaperone. "
"Aro the girls pretty ? "
"Some of them are , but I don't think
they compare to our American girls.
They are of Spanish descent and have
regular features. Most of them are bru
nottcs. "
"How about the natives , the Indians ? "
"Tho natives are brown-skinned people
with coarse , dark hair and with bettor
features than Ethiopians. The men are
bis , strong follows , rather industrious as a
class , turning their attention to mining
and mechanical work. By industrious , !
lucanthat they work hard enough to
earn a living , but as they can live on 1 ?
cents a day that does not mean very stu-
vendous labor. The climate is delight
ful , enabling them to sleep out of doors
If necessary , and they livd on rice , dried
beans and corn bread. "
Woman In Wall Street.
Eleanor Kirk In Lawrcnco ( Mass. )
American : Thcro was a nice little tilt
in Wall street a few days ago between a
man and his wito , both speculators , who
wore unfortunate enough to have the
name initials. Mrs. E. G. 11. bought some
stock unbeknown to her lord uniimastor ,
but the fact was divulged by a brother
broker. Thinking to help his wife out of
n bad scrape , the gentleman ordered the
account to bo closed by moans of a tolo-
grniu signed E. G. B. The lady , who.cx-
cecdingly perspicacious in the matter of
speculation , and who had received some
Valuable" "points" to sustain her rosolu
tlon to hold on , was naturally much dis <
turbcd to receive a notification of closing
from her broker , and immediately ad
vanced upon the bulls1 stronghold.
f The husband and wife met , Greek and
Greek sure enough. The upshot of the
nfl'air was that my lady lost $100 by her
husband's interference , But she im
ft- mediately reinvested and sailed away
I ran * " ' with pennants Hying , having warned
her broker to nay no attention to docu
ments not bearing the prolix Mrs. to the
signature. The mania for speculation
scorns to be increasing among women. A
member of the stock exchange told the
writer that his lady customers were far
* less nervous than men , and while they
A were more cautious about largo invest
ments , they wore seldom troublesome ,
and as n rule their judgment seemed su
perior to that of men.
Lmilwig'a 7.OOO Brides.
Paris Letter in Chioago Times : The
young kingLud\vlgof ( Bavaria ) was that
at the height of his romantic famo. His
ideally handsome likeness was to bo scon
everywhere , and everywhere you hoard
talK of his pootio melancholy , his romau
tic spirit and his confirmed colibiicy
Naturally ho became an object of intonsa
interest to sentimental young ladies.
1'rosontly , among the other absurd tnlos
that were told of him , there went abroad
the story that ho spent most of his time
in wandering about his kingdom in dls
guino. Ho haunted shady lanes and ro
maptic spots , seeking for some fair
maiden who should bo his chosen bride
Well , this silly tale was believed and so
thousands of hearts to fluttering. Each
maiden wondered if shn would bo his
choice if ho chancml to meet her under
the lime trues. And she hesitated to
plight her troth to her villagu lover unli
she should have a chance to meet the
king.
v So it came to pass that in the village o
Dortoldshofon , in the romuntio mountah
region of Soutnorn liavaria , the maiden
formed themselves Into a sort of sister
hood. They pled god t hcmselvc.s toe.tel
ether not to marry u ntil they were sure
the king hod passed them by. Each waste
I.V" to wear his likeness constantly next her
bosom , and each was to choose for her
lelf a secret bower where tit ovontldo sh
'ftktould ' await hii coming. A more fool
ifth fcchcmo , probably , noror was devised
Btrlhc silly brains of love-sick school
girls. But more than score of Her
toldshofcn maiden * entered Into it with
too zeal and devotion of nuns. The
lame of this tlstnrhood spread to other
villages , to towns and cities nay , to
Munich Itself. Huitlo wenches and the
petted beauties of princely palaces alike
caught the inad disease. Within a year
Cot less than 10.000 young women , all
through Bavaria , bad taken upon thorn-
telves the "vows of I.udwlg. am ! were
waiting for the king.
la time roany of these girl * imagined
Uie * had tx en ecn and passed by the
- slog , afld.Uius freed froan their vows , as-
ccptcd humbler husbands. Others grow
tired of waiting and. broks their vows.
Still others waited and waited In vain ,
until all other suitors had passed them
by , and they are waiting still and will bo
waiting all their lives. Bnt as the ranks
of the original sisterhood were thinned
now recruit ? were added , and the "brides
of Ludwig" were still counted by
thousands. It is estimated that there
were no less than 7,000 of thorn at the
time or liis suicide , When the news of
that tragedy became known they forth
with put on mourning and called them
selves "tho widows of Ludwic. " Many
of them took solemn vows of life-long
celibacy as a token of faithfulness to his
memory.
Among tlicso latter two of the most de
voted wcro the young baronesses of
Munich. They constantly were thn
deepest mourning , secluded themselves
from all social pleasures , and drove
thomselvcs Into confirmed melancholy.
Every week they went to Starnburg and
throw carlands of llowcrs into the water
at the spot where the king was drowned.
Finally they determined to share Ills
fate. They arrayed themselves ns brides ,
even to donning veils and orange blos
soms , rowed out into the lake to the spot
where ho was drowned and throw them
selves into the water. Their bodies were
found next day , clasped in each other's
arms , and with portraits of the mad
king next their hearts.
Women who Get Out a Newspaper.
Park Region Pioneer : Let it co out to
the world just as far as our resources can
send it , that every stroke of work ( with
n slight exception to bo named ) done in
the i'ioncor ollicc last week was done by
f ur women folk ? , namply , Mrs. Hathbun ,
her sister. Mrs. llowo , and the Misses
Mabel and Hirdio Hathbun. The per
formances including Job work on both
presses , the working ofr and rolling for
the paper , the lifting and cleaning of the
forms , otc. The slight exception referred
to was the working of ono copy of the
paper ( for himself ) by Will Day. Wo be-
licvo that no ono will venture to charge
that any of the work was in oll'ect inferior
to the average of country printing ollice.s ,
and , indeed , we think It even nicer in
porno particulars.
I'nttlcontocl Irrepressibles.
Buffalo Courier : The book canvasser
has a heart as well as a tongue. One of
those potticoatcd irrepressibles managed
to got the Aroundcr by the ear the other
< Iay. Of course , there was no need of
his buying any books , so ho ofl-handodly
asked her how 3. ho , was getting along any
way. She replied that she was getting
along pretty well for an unprotected female -
male of twenty-seven summers. By the
way , any young woman who confesses to
twonty-sovcn birthdays is uapablo of
tolling the truth in otlior directions. Being -
ing further pressed , or rather questioned ,
she said that she had no difliculty in can-
vassinc with men of middle and elderly
age. They generally wore content to
talk straight ousincss. "But how do you
succeed with young fellows who
talk love and nonsense to you. " "Ah ! 1
have a heart ; and when I approach ono
of those susceptible youngsters I put it
on ico. " It was not necessary to ask
whether eho over put her tongue on ico.
Honorific n Woman With Children.
Chicago Journal : When Mmo. do Stael
asked the Emperor Napoleon what kind
of woman ho considered most valuable
to the empire , the little corporal wounded
the sensitive feelings of that distin
guishcd personage by sententiously replying -
plying : "The woman who has the most
children. " Thn spirit which prompted
such a reply has evidently found temporary
ary lodgment in th breast of an Illinois
Central railroad surburban conductor.
The other day , while I was coming into
the city on that thoroughfare , an honest-
looking woman boarded the train at
Forty-third street with seven small chil
dren of various ages. When the conduc
tor , clad in n new suit of blue , mailo resplendent -
splendent with brass buttons , sternly de
manded her ticket , u blush of coufusiqn
swept over lior honest countenance ns
she fumbled vainly m her pocket for her
nurse , which she had left at homo "I
haven't any ticket , sir , " she meekly re
marked , the look of confusion growing
deeper as she observed the glances of the
passengers ; "I loft it homo. " The con
ductor glanced along the row of chubby-
faced boys by her side ana said : "Are
.you the mother of tlioso seven children ? '
"Yes. sir , " she replied. "Well , " contin
ued the conductor , "any woman who has
done ns much for her country as that can
ride on my train for nothing. " And the
conductor loft the car , followed by the
applause of the passengers.
The Apple of Our Eye.
Now York Graphic : And why let me
ask , should a woman take it so seriously
to heart if her brain do weigh live ounces
loss than a man's ? So do her fectl So
do her hands ! Bnt if she makes it up in
her heart nobody thinks the worst of her
for it. Really , I think it is selfish of a
woman to want the best and moat of
everything. She has the majority of the
good looks in the world , and of the good
times , too , I will warrant ; and it is quite
her own fault if she does not get the ma
jority of all the love. She has the pretti
est clothes and she gets thn most candy ,
and she has rot'Aa and violets hcapea
upon her from year's end to year's cud
if she is good and lucky.
Ijlko Three Rnsos on a Stem.
Torrington ( Conn. ) Register : There
was born in Foshon , on March 20 , 1789 , a
triplet of girls who made ono of the most
remarkable records known. They wcro
SibylS\rah : and Susan Hurlburt.childrcn
of Gideon and Ann ( Bench ) llurlburt.
For the great period of eighty-seven
years this triplet remained unbroken.
Sibyl dying first at that ace , in Juno , 1875.
Her wedded name was Luddington. In
October of the next year Susan ( Mrs.
Grinucll ) died at the ago of eighty-eight.
Sarah lived to the ago of ninety-live ,
dying on January 11,1833. Hnr wedded
name was Bushnell. These sisters looked
so much alike , particularly Mrs. Grmnoll
and Mrs. Bushnoll , that up to seventy-
five or eighty years of age it was dilUcult
for the most intimate friends to toll them
apart ; oven then they would mistake ono
another among themselves.
A Good Word For Needle-Work.

girls of 10,13 , aye , and older too , so Ig

that nil innovations are improvements.
A lovely young doutrcFS of divinity , or ot
law , or of medicine , may be a very bu-
witchinc or fascinating personage , a
potent evidence of the march of intellect ,
but it may bo permitted to grandmammas
to doubt if n beloved and loving wife , a
sweet , devoted mother , skilled and deft
in all woman's work , bo not , even though
innocent of any tongue save her own , the
bettor of the twain. But the world is
wise enough for both , I have heard my
own mother say that when she was seven
she were an Indian muslin of her own
embroidery at n ball given by her par
ents on her birthday.

I10NEV FOR THE LADIES.
Hurt bathing Is no longer fashionable ,
Bonnet strings are very short , v\hcn any
ore worn.
Uoadcd passementeries are worn on dressy
frocks.
The tight cent sleeve will soon bo a thing
The Frances Cleveland turban Is the favor
ite small hat of the season.
The sleeve with a puft from the elbow to
the shoulder grows In favor.
U Is not considered good tnsto to wear
much jewelry In very warm weather.
Now is the time to cover sofas , cushions
and chairs with lace scarfs and tidies.
All line luxurious pleasure carriages are
shod with India rubber tires lu England.
The prlnco and princess of Wales always
ride In vehicles with India rubber tires.
The bicycle for gentlemen and the tricycle
for ladles Iscry tashlonablo In New Jersey.
Flower necklaces with ends falling to the
waist ot the bodice are coming In vogue for
summer festivals.
The white molro sashes worn with white
frocks nio fastened In front with white
enamel buckles.
India rubber break blocks arc the proper
things with which to grip a wheel so as to
prevent noises , Jars or btrnln when stopping
a vehicle.
The latest craze In fancy work Is modeling
llowcrs In gutta-percha paste. It In not a
very recent Invention , but It has only recent
ly been popularized ns fancy work.
The latest 1'araslan addition to white toil
ets Is a paiasol made of silk and covered
with many line plaltlugs of silk mull. The
handle is gilded.
Very charming white gau o fans complete
these costumes , the sticks being of ivory and
flights of gold buttorilics being worked
across the white gauze In the bullion thread.
There are many now ana some very eccen
tric sleeves sent on thy the makers of fashion
this season , all of which shows the tendency
to abandon the old favorite , tight coat
sleeve.
For park riding the correct wear Is the high
bell-crowned silk hat , but for the country ,
lady riders prefer the round-crowned
derby or the jockey cap made o the material
ot the habit.
White stockings are worn with white suits
and low pntenMcallier ties. The stockings
are of silk and cmbioldcrcd over the Instep
with yellow silk. The rage Is for costumes
of whl to anil gold.
For rough riding over the country now
habit coats of heavy stutl are shown by our
best tailors. To these , in addition to the
seams strapped like a covert cdat , are seen
bright scarlet ( English pink ) waistcoats.
I'alo blue Is \vondoriully decorative
color on a green lawn , whether useil for
flower vases of blue delft , or for painted
seats , lattices , or any of the ornamental
work put on lawns or in the garden , or blue
flowers.
Wltu these white and gold costumes nro
worn long cream-whltp guilts do Suede
embroidered In gold upon tbo back , and wide
white Lezhorns trimmed with huge bows of
white silk mull'and loops of gold-colored
ribbon.
The coaching capo of the season covers the
shoulders and reaches to the waist. It Is
made of checked , barred , or small plaid
tobacco-brown hoincsoun , with a high collar
nnd small tabs at the throat of seal-brown or
daik blue velvet.
Thn long journey this summer is or should
be made In ono ot those long ulsters of Eng
lish homespun , with a cap to match , which
mo furnished by tailors , or by the tailor cutting -
ting and fitting depaituiouts in our best re.
tall dry goods nouses.
Tno taste for shades of heliotrope Is on the
Increase. The value ot this color in drc.ss
has never betoro been properly appreciated.
It is discovered to be singularly becoming to
almost every kind of beauty , blonde or
brunette , pale or rosy.
A new fashion in gloves Is a gant do Suede
which Is of a deep , soft rodicalied sang dc
bccuf , with the stripes between the fingers of
wluto kid. Others In heliotrope are made In
the same way , and the latest addition In the
color of gloves is the tint called honeysuckle.
Ualnyeuses In trained gowns are no longer
fashionable , though they are still added to
short dresses for nousp and car rlago wear.
Distinct trained petticoats with many lace-
edged flounces sewn Into the back breadth
are now almost completely taking their place.
The trams of summer bridal dresses are
frequently made detachable and of rich
satin or brochc , while the entire under dress
is ot light eropo or gau/.o or lace over satin ,
the bodice being of the stuff of the train.
The dress can thus bo converted Into a danc
ing trock.
Caps made lust Ilko a cricketer's are much
worn by English women when driving in
the country In a clog cart , for tennis , yacht
ing and rowlng.and the young women living
In those pretty Queen Anne cottages in the
Oranges , Now Jersey , affect this English
stylo.
it Is quite the fancy to make the sleeve
below the elbow of velvet , and tight lilting
as a clove , while above that point ft Is of
veiling , silk , or whatever Is the material ot
the dress , and made to form a graceful sag
ging putt' with pleats stitched clown about
an inch or two inches from the artr.holo.
After all the sailor hat of rough straw , with
a rather wide brim turned up behind or a
narrow ono straight all around , and trimmed
with nothing but a plain blue , red , green ,
black or white band , with rackets or bats
on the streamers , Is the preferred wear for
tennis , croquet , and other out-of-door gomes.
Dotted stuffs are so fashionable that even
chemises and other pieces of uuderwear are
made of line muslins and linens , dotted all
over with red , blue , or lilac spots , and some
times all three of these colors. Then the
> okc , bands , and monogram are worked In
the same colors , while line Valenciennes lace
trims the whole garment.
The newest color Is honeysuckle , which Is
palo yellow In one llirht and pale pink In
another , and Is first cousin to tbo beautiful
tint that appeared a year ago under tbe
French title of point do jour , and which Is
called In English "dawn. " These yellow
pinks nnd giecn are the popular colors after
heliotrope , which still reigns supreme. Blue
Is out ot favor for tno moment , except some
shades of old bluo.
The "white toilets" Imported from abroad
are no longer dead white , but are really
gray. A dress ordered from Paris a few-
weeks ago was composed of a soft pale-gray
silk. Uvnr this was a clinitl ot gray Mi tulle ,
then another layer ot lighter shade , and
finally one of white , held In place by three
ends of the three shades of tulle.
Transparent French muslins ate exhibited
with strawberries , laurel blooms , sweet brier
roses and foliage , arbutus blossoms , and halt-
opened buds scattered on vnri-colored
grounds ; usually the backgrounds nro of
pale tints a very delicate tea rose or primrose -
rose yellow bulng a favorite shade , but the
bright colored trults nnd llowcrs look very
well against a background of olive , palo
gold-brown or moss-green.
There is n charming white crcpo do Chine
with .small flowers over the surface. One of
these was m.uUi with the under part of white
surah with one deep puff of while lace coverIng -
Ing It to the foot. The flowered crepe foil
over this putt In a long , pointed apron fin
ished with a tlouneo ot laco. and a second
tlounco was cnirled across higher up. The
crepe do China bodice was gathered In sur
plice folds In front and a deep edging of lace
came from under the folds nnd formed a sort
ot plastron. This was finished oil' by a belt
of led velvet ribbon coming from the side
Bc.ims. The lace sleeves had two pulls
divided by red velvet bands , The basque
had n led velvet collar.
FISH AND FISHING.
A pickerel weighing three pounds was
caught napping near tbo head of Sunset lake
by little Ira Clayton , who landed Him with a

A devilfish weighing nearly one hundred
pounds was caught by Daniel Oswald , of the
Atlantic Highlands , while be was draining

"Now , these were very liandsomo
pieces , as you would admit if you could
sou the pictures , " said Mr. Richardson.
"Our best art patrons pay so much a
front foot for pictures. A good picture-
one with plenty of red in it and desirably
located will bring ? 20 per front foot ;
the average price is $12 per front foot.
Our pictures nro divided into two classes
improved ana unimproved : the one
framed and the other unframed. When
n gentleman fancies a picture wo let him
cut oil'a sample of it ( just as they do
dross goods ) to take homo with him to sco
if his wife likes the pattern. "

Blips up once in itwhilo. Ho took a walk
around SpringUcM ono day last week. A
buxom young lady , holding a baby in
her arms , was leaning over the gate in
front of a largo , flno looklng residence.
"What a lovelychild , " exclaimed Bon-
ntor Sherman , "pray , may I kiss It ? "
"Certainly , " wild-the buxom young
lady , and toe eminent Ohloan gave tut
baby n smack that made it put out Its
under lip and wrinkle iti red face all up
for n howl.
"That's as line a child Rs I over saw ,
madam ! I'll warrant you that it's the
picture of its futhcrl" said the senator.
"In fact , thu child interests mo so much
that I'd like to have its father call on tno
at the hotel. " With this ho handed out a
card.
"Sakos nllvo , sirl" cried llio buxom
young lady , "it hain't got no father ; this

A Widespread Boom.
Dakota Boll : "I thought you wcro
having a boom hero , " said a stranger to a
man in a Dakota town.
"Wo arc having a boom. "
"It doesn't look much that way. "
"Wo'ro having ono , just the same. Lo
cal parties luivo been taking eastern
speculators out to look at lots in thu su
burbs over iinco the 1st of April. Just
wait till they begin to get back and vou'll
sco a boom.1
"Till they begin to get back ? Why
aren't they back by ihls time ? "
"Why , the truth is , stranger , the lots
tire so thundering far out that they
haven't had time yet. "
Two Opinions.
Dakota Boll : Mr. Julius I'lugoff , a
democrat of Gosh City , this territory.was
recently appointed to the ollico of clerk
of the district court. Of the appoint
ment , the Gosh City People's Palladium ,
a democratic paper , says :
"Tho appointment of Colonel Julius
PlugolV. of this city , to the honorable
ofllco of clerk of the district court gives
universal satisfaction. Though Colonel
Plugofl'is comparatively a young man ,
and recently came to Dakoto , it is a re
cognition of the young democracy in the
territory , and declares that the hereto
fore accepted belief that a man
to obtain ollico in Dakoto must
have moved here before the war and slept
uudor a gun-wood and eaten jerked buf
falo meat the first ton years , is dead and
burled beyond the hope of resurrection.
Give the young and vigorous a chance ;
down with the old moss-grown aud driv
eling one-horso politicians whose only
recommendation is that they wcro com
pelled to leave their homes in the cast
twenty-live years ugol"
In Its issue of the same date the Gosh
City Walloper , nlso democratic , prints
the following :
"Julo Plugoir , the dude politician of
this city , has been appointed clerk of the
district court. What is the party coming
to in this tcrritohy ? That man PlugolV is
n tenderfoot arm a carpetbagger. Hu
has not been in Dakota long enough to
know a wheat field from n jackpot. Ho
would still have been back in Wiggle-
ville , Del. , blacking boots if ho had not
first got an appointment in the territory.
Ho is no moro cnitlcd to the ollico
than the man in the moon. Matters have
como to a pretty pass if the old wheel-
horses of the party , those who came hero
in the curly day , endured the hardships
of the pioneer's life.settlcd in the wilder
ness and made it blossom as the rose and
wore democrats when it meant scorn and
derision and no hope of ollico ; if tlicso ,
wo say. nro to bo ignored for such im
portations from the olleto cast as Julo
Plugoir. "
