ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.
Cruel and wild the battle:
Great. horses plunged and reared,
And through dust-cloud and smoke-cloud,
Blood-red with sunset's angry flush,
You heard the gun-shot's rattle,
And, 'mid hoof-tramp and rush,
The shrieks of women speared.
For it was Russ and Turkoman
No quarter asked or given;
A whirl of frenzied hate and death
Across the desert driven.
Look! the half-naked hordes give way,
Fleeing frantic without breath,
Or hope, or will; and on behind
The troopers storm, in blood-thirst blind,
While, like a dreadful fountain-play,
The swords flash up, and fall and slay
Wives, grandsires, baby brows and gray,
Groan after groan, yell upon yell
Are men but fiends, and is earth hell?
Nay, for out of the flight and fear
Spurs a Russian cuirjssier;
Ii hfisg.'i a 4hild he bears,
Her little foot bleeds; stern she stares
Back at the ruin of her race.
The small hurt creature sheds no tear,
Nor utters cry; but clinging still
To this one arm that does not kill
She stares back with her baby face.
Apart, fenced round with ruined gear,
The hurrying horseman finds a space,
Where, with face crouched upon her knee,
A woman cowers. You see him stoop
And reach the child down tenderly,
Then dash away to join his troop.
How came one pulse of pity there-
One heart that would not slay, but save
In all that Christ-forgotten sight?
War there, far north by Neva's wave,
Some Russian girl in sleep-robes white,
Making her peaceful evening prayer,
That heaven's great mercy 'neath its care
Would keep and cover him to-night?
-Anthony Morehead in The Century.
The Celestials of New York.
New York has quite a number of rich
Chinamen, but there are many more of
the poverty-stricken, vicious class who
have hard work to keep the spark of life
within themi. The better class and the
married men remain on the Pacific coast
as a rule. One seldpni sees a Chinaman
with a mustache in that city. The hair of
the face indicates whether John is child
less or the proud father of an heir, male
or female. A man may not adorn his
upper lip with hair until he has a sob. A
daughter coming subsequently entitles
him to wear a full beard, although the
whiskers of the Oriental are scraggy
affairs. The advent of a baby girl at first
born is regarded among the Chinese as a
calamity. Wherever Chinamen obtain a
residence the vicious and criminal secure
a foothold. The Chinese quarter in New
York is in Mott street, and a very large
percentage of the Mongolians there obtain
their living through running gambling
games or keeping opium joints. Opium
smoking is one of the bad habits which
John takes with him wherever he goes,
and which he introduces among his neigh
bors to a greater or less extent.-New
York Cor. Philadelphia Call.
Appeals to the Lex Talionis.
However barbarous may be the custom
of dueling, as such, it is still a fact of his
torical value that no dueling community
ever yet failed to send out good soldiers in
time of war. I have been told by old resi
dents of Mississippi that the career of Mc
Clung at first stiniularti app.als -to oih
lex talionis, but that towards the last
it acted as a deterrent example. The
duel ceased to be a duel in the ordinary
acceptation of the word and became a
butchery. McClung, of course ran little
or no risk, and it filled the public gener
ally with a sickening contempt to realize
that the leading men of Mississippi lived
practically by the sufferance of a mad
man. To refuse to fight a duel with him
was, of course, out of the question. This
was not allowed by the code. To fight
him meant death. His skill with the pis
tol was fully up to that of Dr. Carver or
Buffalo Bill with the rifle, difference in
weapons being considered. On one occa
sion he killed a blackbird hopping about
on the ground 20 yards distant.--Cor. At
lanta Constitution.
Inflamation of Transported Eggs.
Soon after it became the practice to
transport eggs in large quantities and to
long distances by railway trains it was
found on their arrival that adhesion had
taken place between the membranes of
the yelk and those of the shell, so that the
yelk could not be turned out of the shell
unbroken. On examination by experi
enced pathologists this was found to be
the result of true intlammation; the mate
rial of the adhesion was found to be pre
cisely the same as that of the plastic exu
dation in inflammation of the lungs or
bowels. Structureless and unorganized as
it seems, the egg, even when fresh laid, is
a living being, andl capable of disease from
external causes. The cause of this inflam
mation is undoubtedly the shaking and
friction from the motion of the cars, and
it can not but render the eggs more or less
unhealthyas tile products of imfiammation
can never be as salmt.ary in food as theie
of healthy growth.-Chicago News.
The Largest Business in the WTorld.
Alfred Krupp owns probably the largest
business in the world dependent on one in
dividual. The works within the tbwn of
Essen occupy more than 500 acres, half of
which are under cover. According to as
census taken in September, 1881, the num
of hands employed by Mr. Krupp was 19,
605, the number of their families~ 45,776,
making 65,381 persons supported by his
works. Mr. Krupp owns 547 iron minesin
Germany. He owns four sea steamers,
and there are connected with his Essen
works 42 miles of railway, employing 2
loeomotives and 883 cars, 69 horses with
191 wagons, and 40 miles of telegraph
wires, with 35 stations and 55 Morse appa
ratuses. The establishment possesses a
grand chemical laboratory, a photographic
and lithographic atelier, a printing otfice
with three steam and six hand presses,
and a bookbinding room. The establish
ment even ruis a hotel in Essen.-New

CAREER OF A COUNTRY BOY.
WVhat Energy, Industry and Integrity
Can Accomplish In Our Day.
One of the very best examples of the pos
sibilities within the reach of a young man is
found in the brief life of a country boy,
whose career is attracting the admiration of
those among whom he has risen. It proves
that a man of integrity can attain a fortune
through honest hard work. Of this man
Harper's Weekly says: Mr. Maurice Bennett
Flynn will not be 40 years of, age until two
years from Nov. 3 next He certainly in
herited no fortune, being one of six children
born to Patrick and Mary Flynn in the little
village of Malden, Columbia county, in
this state, and when, at the age of 17, he
arrived in New York city his cash capital
consisted of $37. These facts make
the statement that his fortune is estimated
at from $1,030,000 to $1,500,003 one of con
siderable interest With the exception of a
"year's schoolirg" at a Catholic school in
Troy, miuch .ed atiaaý ii% lsll; :
it thea- tielti`is val" in .Kw York had
been picked up by his own unaidel efforts.
MAURICE B. ! LYNN.
Upon his arrival in New York he took the
frst employment he could find, which proved
to be in a small grocery in Williamsburg.
He subsequently became "timekeeper" at
the Novelty Iron works, and then learning
that a firm of iron manufacturers were in
need of a book keeper, he boldly applied for
the situation, and although he knew scarcely
anything of the requirements of the position,
succeeded in obtaining and holding the place
at a salary of $8 a week. Within a very
short time his salary had been nearly
doubled. His executive ability was speedily
recognized, and when, in 1867, the junior
member of the firm died, the sole manage
ment of the details of the business was in
trusted to young Flynn. Two years later
he was given a small interest in the firm, and
on May 1, 1870, was admitted to the firm as
an equal partner.
During all taes3 years he had been assidu
ous in his studies. He lived in Brooklyn,
but regularly for several years at:ended the
night school at Cooper Union, and being
quick to learn, rapidly acquired a fair
knowledge of the French, German and
Spanish languages, which he has since
mastered, besides devoting himself to the
study of mechanical draw.ng and elocution.
In 1578, Mr. Flynn, three days before
election, declared himself to be a candidate
for the assembly on the Democratic side of
politics and was elected to represent the
Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards of Brook
lyn d.AfootintlCgs th ular- -otwe"au .,i t"
inee by a large plurality. At the conclusion
of his term he was re-elected.
It cannot be seen that Mr. Fiynn's entrance
into politics has affected his business in any
way. It is at least not neglcted. He has
proved himself to be a man of such remark
able executive ability that he can attend to
many and varied interests with unusual
ease. He is now lookedl upon as one of the
leading contract rs of New` York. On a
recent trip abroad. Mr. Flynn carried
among other letters of introduction one from
President Cleveland to Pr. sident Grevy, of
France. Three tears ago Mr. F-nun mar
ried the daughter of Treasurer Moss, of
Wallack's theatre. If his health is spared,
his future sareer will be worth watohin ,

The Hon. John Wentworth sat at .kle
ecruer of a pretty little table sipp -

the fair dames and damsels arra
about him, Mr. Wentworth prides h
self on longevity, and when a fr
faced maiden in a red bodice asked
"how he managed to live yollng so lo
the ox-mayor rubbed his long, beaiht
hands together, threw' his shoulde T
"Well, it's a continued story. Many
cantos to it as there are to 'Childe Harold.'
But the final is, I ain't going to get o(d
while I live, and l'm inot going to stop
living. This world is a plretty nice sort of
a place. It suits me; I like it, and I've
made up my mind to stay here. People
have no business being ill; needn't be, if
they only live right."
"Do tell us what you mean by living
right?" was the next question, that came
from the group in concert.
"Ah, now you've got me. Well, I'll tell
you how I manage, but it won't fit lour
cases, I know, for you women folks aren't
like anything else on earth." Without
heeding the "ohs!" of expostulation , and
remonstrance, Mr. Wentworth delivered
the following little lecture on hygiene,
which was made the subject of conversa
tion for a whole hour of the reception.
M.EALS WHEN YOU WANT THEM.
He said: "I never was one of your bell
livers. I never did and never will live on
time. Got no use for call-bells, dinner
bells, or alarm clocks, and I believe they
do more for the general slaying of health
and killing of people than either gluttony
or intemperance. Now, my doctrine is
this, eat when you're hungry, drink when
you're thirsty, sleep when you're sleepy.
and get up when you're ready.
"Why, if I had been rung up the morn
ing and rung to my meals as some people
are I'd been dead years ago. No, ladies
the way you want to do, if you want to
live and go to all the afternoon receptions
and old settlers reunions, is to have your
meals when you want them, and have
what you want."
"I get up in the morning when I am
ready, Sometimas at 6, sometimes at 8,
sometimes I don't get up at all. Then I
have my breakfast if I want it. If my ap
petite don't get round, I don't have any.
What's the use eating if I'm not hungry?
I know I can have it; its there; but if I
don't need it, why I don't go down, that's
all. Eat? oh any thing I feel like. Eggs,
fish, chop or so, potatoes, toast, fruit, tea
and buckwheat cakes."
"No coffee? nor biscuits?" was asked in a
chorus.
"No coffee. Coffee makes you yellow,
and I don't want to be taken for a Mon
golian. Don't eat biscuits, 'cause they're
always hot, and I don't like hot bread."
"But buckwheat is the worst kind of diet
for a careful liver," came. from a willowy
creature.
"Yes, but I like buckwheat cakes. Just
set 'em afloat in a stream of country maple
anu an ell you nleree -.no.usg-wu ua.'
'em."
"For dinner?"
"Dinner when I'm ready, and that is
when my appetite is sharp as yonder
dude's nose. No, don't worry me a bit
when noon comes and I see the people
rushing pell-mell into restaurants and
lunch-shops. I dine when I get hungry,
and as I'm a working man I have no time
to waste thinking about it. Perhaps I
dine at 2 or 4 or not until 6 or 8, and when
I do I have what's good-soup, fish, roast
or stew, plenty of vegetables, bread, rice,
bread pudding or such, for I don't lean
heavily on pie and dumplings, and Rhin4
wine."
A BRIEF DISCOURSE ON DRINKS.
A J$KICk V1CCUUK(JIE N DI(1 5.
For the benefit of the W. C. T. U. ele
ment the ex-mayor explained that he used
to entertain quite a fancy for whisky, but
the stuff was too powerful and he cut
loose. "After I gave up whisky I took to
champagne, and, by gracious! how I did
like to drink the stuff, though! But the
doctor told me I was getting kidney
trouble, and I had to give up that pleas
ure; and ever since I have been drinking
this clear Rhine wine. It don't do any
hurt, and I feel first rate. No; never drink
beer. It's nasty stuff: makes you soggy
and fat and lazy, and I don't want to be
either."
"No, young women, wine is not a neces
sity to any one. I could have just as good
health without it; but I don't take any
other kind of stimulant but tea-and you
know a fellow has to have some bad habits
about him, and tea is a;; sinless as butter
milk. Water? Yes, gallons of it; but not
this lake stuff-Waukesha; have it deliv
ered at my room every week, and drink
two or three gallons a day."
"Supper? Well, I'm not a maniac on
suppers. If I have a late dinner I don't
want-anything else to eat untilnextmornl
inn, but if I dine anywhere about noon I
regale on tea, a salad of fricasse, toast,
sauce and a bit of cheese."
To a myriad of inquiries Mr, Wentworth
said that hotel life is the best calculated to
bring out the individualities of a man as
there and only there is liberty hall to be
found. "In a private home man is subor
dinate to the whims and foibles of a cook
and housemaid, but where I live I am
ruler of my own destiny and if there is
any falling in line the house does it, not I.
For instance, you people have to eat your
meals when they are ready or go without,
while my meals are ready when I order
them. If I foolishly go to bed before I man
sleepy I just get up again, turn on the gas,
ring for a paper or new publication and
read till I get tired. Fancy your husband
humoring himself in that luxurious fash
ion."
Touching the subject of baths, he said
he took a wash when he needed it, but
didn't believe in soaking and steaming his
life out on a marble slab as fishiomiables
of the present day were doing.-Inter
Ocean.
A Wonderful iSpritg in Florida.
"The finest spring of: water I ever saw,"
said a passenger from "lorida, "is down in
Hernando county, on time gulf side. The
land is high and rolling, and not flat and
swampy, as the mast of Flori.l: i . and as
most. folk think it all is. Tile Wekowechee
river in that county is twelve miles long,
and about the prettiest stream I ever saw.
It is made entirely by cne spring, and this
spring is sixty feet in diameter. You can
row a boat right into it, but you can't
make a boat stay in the center, as the
force of the waters risial throws it gently
to one side. A small steamer can navigate
the river, whose banks are high and
covered with foliage. The :spring has the
pirest water that ever flowed out of the
earth. It is seve.aty feet Ftq.blottom, and
yon can see a dlime titw there just as
plarh as you can in a glas of water. In
the river you can see ilse twenty rods

of his ill health than 1h- women employes of
the treasury departm-nt, and in fact of the
whole government For it was Gen. Spinner
who broke down the barrier which prevented
their performing c erical work for the gov
ernment. This occurred during the war
when the regular clerks were disappearing
to enlist in the army, and it looked as if
there were not going to be men enough to go
around. Then it was that the chivalric Gen.
Sp nner suggested to President Lincoln that
an opportunity be given women to take the
men's vlaces n here po sible. It is astonish
ing when we look at it to think of the oppo
sition this idea met with. But Spinner
ga nel h s point, and the entree of women
into the government service mly be looked
upon as a "war measure" just as Ben
Builer's suggestio.i to make the "darkies
contraban& '
Gen. Spinner was born in New York state
in 1893 His father was a clergyman and
the cashier of tha Mohawk Val ey bank for
twenty years. He gave his son a classical
education. He learne I several trades and
then embarked as a merchant He was ap
pointed and held responsible positions in the
New York custom house from 1845 to 1849.
He was elected to the Thirty. fourth congress
as an anti-slavery Democrat, and re-elected to
the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth congresses,
though he was elected to the latter as a
Republican. On March 16, 1861, President
Lincoln appointed him treasurer of the
United States, soon after which his wonder
ful autograph on the paper money became a
welcome visitor in the households of the
land. This signature, which we reproduce
in fac-simile, will always remain one of the
curiosities of chirography. Since the gen
eral's sojourn in Florida during the past
ten years, it was remarked that the al
ligators avoided his locality, Why this was
could not be determined, until one
day a large "gator" was noticed crawling
out on the L..5- ~f a you where the ge."m
,- was hie ha bit, mmw.od his name
with his cane in the soft mud. The alligator
stopped when he came to the signature,
looked at it in a puzzled sort of way and
then dashed back into the bayou as if the
mysterious hieroglyphics portended some
terrible calamity for him, at least this is the
way the story goes.
Gen. Spinner retired to private life July
1, 1875. When he did so all the wealth in
the United States treasury till had to be
counted. Then it was that a deficiency was
discovered amounting to one cent. To ac
count for this a memorable recounting took
place, requiring days upon days, until the
missing cent was found and the general re
tired from the treasury, leaving balanced
books.
The Casaadi a Cardinal.
ARBCBISHOP TASCHEREAU.
On the receipt recently of the announce
ment that Archbishop Tascherau had been
elevated to the honor of a placein the college
of cardinals, the people of Quebec celebrated
the event by pyrotechnic displays. Here as
e sewhere throughout Canada commemo
rative--ervius were held in- theb churchesto
show their appreciation of their old prelate.
The reason for it ill is that this kindly old
man has, for the forty-four years that he
has been a priest and shepherd among them,
given his time, talents and even offered his
life in their behalf One of his first acts
after his elevation to the ministry was to
give his services to the sick and dying
in the hospitals of Grosse Isle. It was
in 1847, when an epidemic of typhus fever
in its most aggravated form broke out
among the emigrants and they were dying
by the hundreds in these hospitals. The
young Father Tas cherean begged to be al
lowed to minister to them. His wish was
granted, and he himself contracted the awful
malady. His life was spared, though, to
offer it many times since to the service of the
needy. Father Tascheresa'sself-sacrifce was
all the more commendable from the fact of
his distinguished family connections. His
mother was from the Panet family, and his
own name is one of the most distinguished in
lower Canada, hes father was a leading
n:ember of paalnsient. iis brother, Jean
Thomas Taschereau. was on the supreme
court bench of Canada. His nephew EHsear
is at present on the bench of that court,
another nephew, Henri T., being a judge of
the superior court of Quebec, and a third,
L niere, is a member of the Canadian com
mons.
Cardinal Tascberean was born near Que
1 ee. He is now in his 88th year. He was
orda'.ned a priefi at tha age of 22. He war
subsequently appointed professor of mental
philosophy, director of studies and superior
of the Seminary of Quebec. He was made
professor of canon law in Laval university
in 18-l, and administrator of the diocese in
1870. He was ,onsecrated archbishop of
Quebec March 19, 1871. He stands high in
his church as a th.oloian. His cardinaP:

-a AVVWe arrived there about the last
o ne, 1867. We rented a most com
fortable house of four rooms, two of which
had board floors, which was quite a lux
ury,lqr' e pe~! r month--about $2 of
oar ey:.h less fortunate,
Amckrical settlers who had preceded us in
the village of Linhares, until the men folk
should go out prospecting, make choice ol
their future homes, and settle a claim,
each one being entitled to as much again
land as he cleared and cultivated, and no
one could turn him off his claim unless he
were paid for it. If he wished more land
he could buy it from the government at 22
cents per acre and pay for it in six years.
The building sites were selected on the
borders of the lake, some of the hills being
so high they resembled mountains. There
was a low range of mountains about four
miles from the western shore of the lake.
There were no roads or paths in the forest.
In many places it was so dense that it was
almost impenetrable. All traveling and
visiting was done in canoes. Rude houses
were erected by putting posts into the
ground, using poles for the rafters, and
then covering and weather-boarding were
made of the palm, many bunches being
tied together, and then tied to the rafters
and sides of the house with a vine called
sepoy, not a nail being used in the whole
building. A mortar was then made and
pounded down to make a hard, smooth
floor.
MAKING HOMES IN THE WILDERNESS.
By the 25th of July nedrly all of us had
settled down, and the men began clearing
to plant. Lawyers, doctors, dentists, etc.,
laid aside their diplomas and entered into
their new life with the proper spirit, fac
ing the forest ax in hand, seemingly with
the determination to succeed or die in the
attempt.
Again the Brazilians, many of whom in
this community are of Indian descent, wel
comed us with outstretched arms as it
were. The wealthy would take turns and
send a few slaves to help first one and then
another settler. The poorer classes would
visit us and bring as offerings of friend
ship bunches of bananas, pineapples, a
chicken, a few eggs, a bottle of milk and
such things as they could spare and knew
we could not get.
All seemed interested and anxious to
know how we Americans of the United
States did things. Many things planted by
the new settlers did not do well on ac
count of the land having been so recently
cleared. On old clearings everything that
can be mentioned grew to perfection and
in abundance, yielding more bountifully
than the same things do in the United
States, with the exception of corn, which
did not yield so well in that vicinity, but
does exceedingly well higher up the Done
and also in other portions of the empire.

THE PRODUCTS OF A PLANTATION.
The national dishes are black beans,
dried beef (which is shipped from Monteo
video), and Farinha du Mandioca. We felt
satisfied that the land in this vicinity is
better adapted to the culture of sugar
cane than anything else. It is said it will
produce from 83,000 to 4,000 pounds to the
acre with the aid of the hoe only-the
plow had never at that time been used in
this soil. I have seen on one
of the farms of our neighbor,
Senor Dom Raphael Pereira de
Cavalho, cane twelve and fifteen feet high
and two and one-half inches in diameter,
which received no culture except from the
hoe. Three crops can easily be made in
twenty-four months. Cotton does well in
other portions of the empire. Bananas
grow in profusion and to perfection; one
acre is said to produce 4,000 pounds. There
is nothing better for hogs and chickens,
besides being very wholesome and nutri
tious for man. They bear one year after
being planted, multiplying year after
year, and I believe they never die out after
they are once started.
One year we all remained in this colony.
One year we all remained in this colony.
Sickness, failure of crops, etc., began to
break us up; besides we had unfortunately
made a bad selection. Most of our men
knew more of the culture of cotton. con
sequently it was an unwise step to go into
a sugar raistng district. The professional
men had been unwise to settle in a wilder
ness. Many of them were young and un
married, consequently had no one to cook,
wash and attend to the household duties
for them. Some decided to remain; and
the agent stood by them another year,
then had to bring them away, sending
them down to San Paulo, in a cotton
district where they became successful.

THE TERROR OF A CITY.
n. Qaad- Dserikes Bqw a WVoman I'lota
a Horse sad dBady.
Between the *omau nwh wanders about
the streets shoing a baby carriage before
ha and the woman who drives a horse and
buggy there is a choice. The baby carriage
can sometimes be dodged, jumped over or
got arL und. Yea can sometimes evade it by
climbing a telegraph, pole or rushingpinto a
basement If you are armed wits jctb and s
can look ferocious the woman will sometimes
turn aside and crpple some Sne else But
for the woman who drives a horse and btggy
-look out!
I saw her start out the other day. When.
the horse left the post thefl omas was look
ing back to wave her hand it somebody, and
the lines were on 1he dsibefl rd. There a sa
an ice w'agoo comins up the street, but wave
nu t and did. She was almsot re 4y to
stopped. He had to. He had run plump
into the ice wagon, and he couldn't climb
over it.
He couldn't climb over it.
The woman picked up the lines, pulled on
the "gee" and then on the "haw," ran the
horse over the curbstone and twisted around
a tree, and as she got into the street again
she upset a swill c.irt with the off wheels
and went her way with serene countenance.
When she reached the avenue she was fuss
ing with the lap robe, and the horse took a
long turn. There was a street car passing,
and if the driver hadn't put on the brake
and turne I his horses across the track she
must have beetn run down. It is doubtful itf
she noticed the fact. Site pulled on one rein
with both hands, to:d Dobbin to "git up,"
and finally got away on a straight line, on
the wrong side of the street, of course A
bick team crowdel her into the curbstone,
but the smile never left her face. A milk
wagon rubbed the fore wheel, and the milk
man yelled at her, but she looked straight
ahead. The horse finally crossed over to the
other side on his own account, and the street
car missed the hind wheel by such a close
shave that half the passengers cried out in
alarm
All of a sudden the woman pulled hard on
both lines and cried "Whoa!" She had been
struck at sight of a new hat on a passing
woman, and she wanted to see more of it. A
grocer's delivery wagon was following clos3
behind, and the sudden stop brought about a
crash. Horse, woman and phaeton were
slewed around and almost upset, but the only
one at all disturbed was the horse. He didn't
seem to believe in sudden changes. He was
hawed and geed and pulled into shape, and
as he jogged along again the lines were
dropped while the driver fussed with her
hat Her buggy struck the nose of a horse
against an express wagon-skinned along
the side of a street car, and finally locked
wheels with a beer wagon. Nothing was
broken-nobody disturbed in mind or body.
A harnessmaker backed her horse out and
headed him down street, and the serene
journey was again resumed, to be inter
rupted on the next block by the animal
bringing up against the back end of a farm
er's wagon.
"What in blazes-!" roared the farmer.
But he stopped there. She had dropped the
lines to tuck in the lap robe.
Down at the next street three men stood
talking. The phaeton crossed over and
made a bee line for them and drove them off,
and then crossed back and skinned along a
pile of brick and drove four or ive stone
cutters to jump for their lives. It was just
half a block further that the horse was
"hawed" to cross to a photograph gallery.
Vehicles were crossing in a mob. A private
carriage was stopped dead still, a fishman's
cart backed intoa sand team, and a plumb
er's horse given a setback to last him for a
month. But retribution was at hand. A
two-horse dray caught a hind wheel of the
phaeton and wrenched it off, and drove
splinters into the pavement. , Some one held
the horse, and some one else helped the
woman out, and when she had surveyed the
wreck she mildly observed:
"I wonder how on earth that could pos
sibly have happened, when I am such a good
driver!"

A.GOoD TRADE FOR WOMEN..
The Cryng Neeld f a Neghboarceod
Meader and-tawaer-A Hitt
There was a call lately for a new trade,
adapted to the owmplanitlee. of the modern
city house---that of-,the universal tiaker.
Now, with an extension of -the same idea
Into the worman's kingdom, a correspondent
sigls for a neighborhood darner. Most of
us -oulJ agree as to the eonvenience; but
the correpon.telat Was not perhaps aware
that the system re ommended siain practi at
operation i - Parrs In the family where
our home wa si ben there, punctually. one
day in the w.ek cam e la raecotsmodeuse,
and, haviug stssc established lusa be k room
and given a cup of cofee, set to work on
therruin treu children and an impatient
man had wr u he. She had for her pains
her meals and o cents a day, and she had
beyond the daily franc.
To some she gave but half a day; but
matters were so systematized that she was
rarely without work. Very convenient the
American boarder found her for the ripping
and cleaning of old gowns and the darning
of hose, which in her devotion to the monu
ments of Paris she had no time to touch.
And watching the cheery old woman over
her task, she often thought what a relie.
a similar system would be to many an over
taxed American housekeeper. For that is
the point-it is a system and a recognized
trade. This one belonged to the lowest
class; but others, handy at lace and finer
work, with a patronage of wealth, often
make much more. And even a franc a day,
with a good living thrown in, was not to be
despised.
Since the reign of bric-a-brac set in we
have professional dusters in the cities. It
should be tomparatively simple to intro
duce professional menders. Perhaps a diffi
culty would arise as to amount of payment,
since the women who mend for their fami
lies to not roll in wealth, and even 50 cents
a day might seem to them extravagance.
And the sewing-woman who drags her life
out on the same sum, boarding herself
would probably scorn less. But, once given
her patrons, she might find her life both
easier and healthful; and the tired house
mothers, seein, the economy and re!ief,
would wonder why they did not do it be
fore. Under the present system the thrifty
women fret and tire themselves over the
endless task; the sentimentally philanthropic
and the unthrifty give away to the increase
of poverty often; and the old clo's men
profit by the improvidence of the bachelors
and husbands.
A little more c0-operation everywhere
would lighten women's work. Here, for in
stance, in a town of 2,000 inhabitants, one
woman for years made her pin money by
weekly brewing of yeast for her neighbors
She has gone out of the business now, her
husband objecting; and the women are left
lamenting the lost convenience. Yeast in
plenty at the grocery-patent yeast; but
they all prefer the home-made when they
can get it. So, could they once set it, they
would prefer the neighborhood mender -

Gov. Alvin Saunders and the Pawnee,.
The warlike Sioux were well mounted, and
had the Pawnees at a disadvantage. They
would dash up to any exposed point of the
reservation, shoot a Pawnee, and s:urry
away before the Indians had fairly learned
of the attack. After bearing the complaint
of the chief as to the action of the Sioux,
the governor assured him that all he needed
Qs.0 a s,'e a- -iti ,sah he could 6r oa
the Sioux before they came within rifle
range; and then proceeded to inform him
that if he would preserve a friendly attitude
toward the whites, a big gun with plenty of
ammunition, would be supplied him.
The Pawnee warrior eagerly snapped up
this alluring bait "As soon," said the gov
ernor, "as I said to himun that if he would be
friendly, I would send to the great father in
Washington and get for him a great cannon,
and the interpreter had translated my
words, the chief jumped up, took his pipe
from his mouth, and jaeumed it into mine
withouat ceremony. 'Now,' said the inter
preter, 'you must smoke if you never have
before in your life!' and I did puff at the
pipe without having a chaaae to wipe it off,
as it came direct from the chief's mouth to
my own. It was a naueous dose, but I
swallowed it in the interest of the cause. I
immediately wrote to the seoretary of war
what had oceurred, and he. at once for
warded a nice, shiny, six-pound field-pieca. I
ent it to the.agency, and from that day we
never had any trouole with the Pawnees,

Bravery Conquers Blatant Cowardice.
It was one of those girls and exactly that
kind of a fellow that I saw m an encounter
at the St. Thomas charity fair. The wait.
resses were voluntedrs, accustomed to silk
and satin, but here clad in calico and ging
ham for the task of benevolent servitude.
The customers were polite folks as a rule,
but the exception was a coarse, intolerable
boor who may have entered by design to
find out how it felt to be waited on by an
heiress The girl at whose table he took a
place was not going to be scared out of her
duty, and she demurely solicited his order.
"Give me a glass of whisky," he insolently
responded.
"Ah, my friend," she murmuied, in a
neatly religious style of speech, "you're
Ealling for something that stingeth like
a serpent and biteth like an adder.' We
don't-"
"That's precisely the brand I want," he
retorted, "a stinger and a biter."
"You shall have it, sir," and now her eyes
flashed, as she disappeared, to quickly re
turn with a colorless liquid in a glaes "Now
swallow that," she impressively added, "and
you'll vow you're astonished. Drink it
down."
The loader was frightened. He thought
the fluid was nothing weaker than aquator
tis, and he slunk away, leving it untouched.
It was only water. Quiet bravery had
once more vanquished blatant cowardice.
