An English pajer asserts that there is a titled lady whose- chief pleasure is found in exhibiting her muscular powers in her ow^i drawing rotmi to a circle of admiring and astonished friends. Attired in a long and clinging gown she lies down at fuS length upon the floor, with her aims ^held closely to her, sides. A fi-iend is then re- quested to fasten her skirts securely around her feet and place her handkerchief upon them. This done, the handkerchief is conveyed by her feet to her mouth. She then resumes her first position, and, without moving her arms, gradually raises herself until she stands upon her feet without a hair out of place or the tiniest bead of moisture on her bi"ow. Cathar in e Reed an old woman who lived with her son at Sea-combe, near Liverpool, passed Christmas eve in a public house drinking, and, leaving at a late hour to go home, did not reach there. The next day her son identified as hers a body that was washed up on the shore near the town. The Cor- oner's jury rendered a verdict that the old woman had fallen into the water while on her way home intoxicated, and her son col- lected without trouble a policy she had had upon her life. A week or two ago he re- ceived a letter from a woman in the Liver- pool workhouse claiming to be his mother and asking him to deny the "rumor" that she was dead. He thought it was frtnn an impostor and paid no attention to it. A few days later the old Avoman herself walk- ed in and insisted that he should account to her for that insurance money. The iden- tity of the woman's double who was found drowned is as yet unknown. â- :gl!lieilt ilonel. a ,.y fidiM iherM I'llieni l.iill Linl Aiigeli is coming over to Wind- N'ienna slibitly to paint a portrait iJLsty. which she intends to- present iKDiioiie of the new English army used at the range at Aldershot I mp ii ?e\v days ago Mcnt wide and travelled ;«ii luili-s before stopping.

According to Marion Harland, "60 cen- turies of precedent since the time of their 'foi-emothei- Eve' have rendered women in- capable of competing on equal terms with men in manufacturing, mercantile, profes- sional, and even educational business. They do not work as men do. 'A man grasps his business with both hands. If his hands are not strong enough, he clamps it with his feet, and rather than let it go, seizes it with his jaws. ' A woman iisually regards labor as a means to an end. as 'a violence done to nature and precedent. ' She will not take the same care as a man she stands too much upon her dignity.

PUny went at it and learned six languages after he was serenty years old. " " Well, I suppose you brought home the harp " "Yes. It's a beauty, and I got it cheap. It's a real Givoni, and I bought it from a man who was hard up. Got it for $35, and it's worth $70." "And you will try to learn to play it " "Certainly.

I shall practice right here I That is, there won't be much practice about it, as I shall be playing tunes by Satur- day." He uncovered and brought in a greasy, ill- shaped harp, which looked as if it had been carried around the country since the days of Columbus, and when he saw me looking at it. he said: "This harp was made by Givoni himself orer 100 years ago." "Who was Givoni?" "Who was Givoni? Why don't you ask who George Washington was?" "Well, it's my opinion that you have been swindled on the instrument, and I fear you are too old to take up such music." " Do you?

Thei-e are, to be sure, many ex-' ceptions to this rule, many bright, indepen- " dent, self-reliant young women, who, while ' thoroughly womanly, are also thoroughly able to taae care of themselves. In fact, I the list of exceptions is already quite as long as the rule itself, perhaps, like the me- morable passage in Andrew and Stoddard's Latin grammar. " Still there is enough truth in Marion Harlaud's indictment to make it worthy of the most serious consideration by every yoimg woman. It is not altogether m-uis inhuma nity to woman which makes her wage j less and her chances poorer than those of a man of the same intellectual caliber. There is much in her own view of life that accomits for this, alid, before she can hope to have her rights of eai-ning as good a living as her brother fully recognb.ed, she, too, must seize her business 'with both hands,' and not re- uecessity, not to be gladly accepted but to lie endured for I little while between girl- hood and matrimony. ' ' Tlie young man knows that he wiU be discharged if- he does not do his work well. The yoimg woman often thinks that winning ways, or regard for the sex, or, as a last resort, tears, will avail to excuse slighted tasks and work ill-done. And this attitude on lier part for buisness lowers the price of her own and her sister's labor iu all the mar- kets of the world. The only r^nedy is the one aljove suggestedâ€" to take held of life's work both hands." A Celestial Compliment. A secretary of the Chinese Embassy ip Washington was introduced to a lady, Wh6 among other qnestiens asked hini, '^^hat virtue do you- most highly prize in your women?" "The virtue of dSmfcsticity, " was the reply. ' 'Then yon do not like your women to move- in society much?" she questioned. ' 'Not at alL Our law even reccKnizes cause for divorce when a woman â€" ^pardon me, ma- dame^s inquisitive aud talutive. " "Then I would be in danger of being di- vorced if I lived in China " smilingly asked the hwly. "The very day- that my c«antiy would have the luck to passess a womanly being like you," reptied the gallant son of the iHBsrCTly reiahn, '^eveiy oRDae of div^Mve w«ald;beiMrt#red'^i^ tlie wm-kL " Bowser, it's the wonder of the people that you don't commit suicide " Mr. Bowser thrummed until I had to carry baby upstairs to quiet his howls, and until the ends of his fingers were sore, and ' he wouldn't have quit when he did, had not a voice iu front of the house shouted ' ' Why don't some one throw a rock thi ough the window or ring for the patrol wagon ' I Next day a dark-skinned man who said he was a grandson of the late Givoui, came up and gave Mr. Bowser a lesson, and the cook, who had almost consented to stay, suddenly rose up and rushed after her bundle. When ready to go she whispered to me I "I'm sorry, mum sorry for you that's left If the child dies, send me word and I'll come and do all in my power." I Mr. Bowser took four lessons in all and then told his teacher that liis services would be ne longer required. He took the last two lessons in the bam in order, as he said, to »M^ris« me. On the evening of the last 1 ;S9on he brought in the harp just as a couple »f the neighmtrs came in. He promptly responded te an invitation to show off, but had not labored two" minutes when one of the gentlemen asked i "Have you any particular object in that, I Mr. Bowser?" 1 "Of course he has," replied the other. "It is an imitation of a great calamity in Japan â€" buildings shaken down by an earth- quake â€" flames, devouring the ruins â€" hus- bands shooting â€" ^wives praying â€" children sobbing â€" dogsbarking, ete. Is it your own composition, Mr. Bowser " I "Whyâ€" why, dcm't I play all right The teacher said I was makmg wonderful pro- gress." They becVoned him. out into the alley and held a conference. What was said I do not know, but when When one ia fatigued and foot sore from much walking, it ia very refrealting to bathe the feM ib^wsnn water and fuV thein frith extract ^amic».^ A round piece cut from wom-oi^ t^ishmere hoae, and cat-stitehed to the -wrong side of the. knee of chddren's hose with strong cot- ton, will strengthen them greatly. Kerosene poured on red fiantid and bound on the throat will greatijr ease asore throat. It will also heal cuts and cure chilblins. Ip bottling catehup or pickle^, boil the corks, and while hot you can press them into the bottles and when cola they are tightly, sealed. Use the tin foil from com- press«l yeast to cover the corks. Nothing so quickly restores tone to .ex- haiisted nen-es and strength to a weary body as a bath containing an ounce of aqua- g^unonia to each pailful of water. It makes the flesh firm and smooth as marble, and rendei-s the body pure and free from all odors. A pound of sugar is one pint, an ounce of any liquid is two tablespo^ifuls and a pint of liquid weighs sixteen ounces. Try keeping cranberries fresh by putting them in cold -water containing a piece of charcoal. Change the water occasionally. When your sifter becomes clogged with flour or meal eift some hot ashes through it you will be surprised tp see how nicely it is cleaned. Wash tray covers, c., that are embroid- ered in colors in cold water -with borax. Rinse them well in cold water, do not sprin- kle or roll irp, but iron them while they are still slightly damp from the line. Lemon juice -will whiten frosting, cran- berry juice will color it pink and the grated rind of an orange stramed throuch a cloth will color it yellow. Grated chocolate is best for coloring it brown. A simple means of changing the air of a sick room is to open a window at the top and openmg the door, move it backward and forward rapidly, so as to insure a current of fresh air from the window. When the skin is bruised it may be' pre- vented from becoming discolored 1 ly using a little dry stiirch or arrowroot merely moist- ened with cold water and placjd on the injured part.

To Keep Pie Ciiists from Crumbling. â€" When youi' pies with upper crusts are ready to put in the oven to bake take a little sweet milk iu a cup and with a bit of clean cloth wet the upper crust and rim. When baked it will present a shiny siu-face and will not flake off. To candy orange or lemon peel. â€" Drop the skins as you accumulate them into cold water, keeping them 'under it by a plate. Boil them until they are tender and can easily be pierced with a splinter of wootl. Drain and lay them in cold water immediate-j ly. Put a half a puit of Avater to a pound of sugar cook the skins in it until the sirup "looks A'ery thick lift them out on a plate to dry and sprinkle powdered sugar OAcr t^eni before they are quite cold. To remove effects of rain drops from velvet steam the A'elvet and beat it, while drying, with a whalebone on the under side of the coat. This should make the pile of the vel- A'et rise. Use the often-explained device of the hot iron, bound with a wet clotii, firmly held by one person, flat side uppermost, while another passes the spotted surface several times over the steam. It must be quickly done and promptly "beaten " while being held in the hot air of a heater or be- fore a coal fire to dry. Beat from the back of the coat only. Fish Croquettes (Veev liELicious).^- Mash some baked potatoes with butter, cream (or milk) and one egg, whipped to a froth, roll the paste out to a moderate thick- ness, chop up eight to ten boned sardines (two for eaeli croquette), cook them in t^e following saiice Two ounces of butter, one teaspoo^ut' of curry powder, a little chopped opion and a squeeze of lemon juice.

A few days ago a young gii-1, beautiful in form, feature and dress, sat in a Madison avenue car, says the New York Et^uingSmi. Directly oppoaite sat a poor child of about the same age, shablMly clothed, with a shambling IxMy, alightly deformed as to the shpuldeni, and an exceedingly plain face which bore the lines of suiSemg and want. Her e^^r eyes were fixed on the face and figure opposite her with a devouring, pathe- tic look that showed how keenly alive ti^e Mr. Bowser came in he was to the exceeding beautjr of a beautiful locked very pale, and Hu) first thing he did ' body. The object of the gaze began to' grow was to give the harp a kick which opened i uneasy under its intentuess and fixity, and jiill the joints and prepMed it for the crash fiotiUy, looking the girl coldly i^ the fae^ which' came when he nung^it out doors.

Miss Jenness was afterwards interviewed by a reporter and ^ke as follows â€" "Oh, no, to-day's exerhise was net my first attempt at riding astride a horse, but •it is the first time I had tried it with the bifurcated skirts and with a man looking «». Two years ago, when I lived at Boston, I attracted some attention as a horseback rider, being almost the only woman, who had adoptcKl the exercise in that city at that time. I may add that I was fonU of fast and dashing riding then. ' I vraa forced to dis- continue this form of reereatiMi to giA-e my lectures throughout the country. Since then the exercise has become fashionable and especially popular with ladies. I gladly took it up the past winter, and when by mistake the riding school master took my name to be Jeimet, I- did^ not correct him, hoping to escape observat|§^v I soap became conArjiiced, however, 'that this system of exercise as practiced by women was all wrong. I found that the task of rising to the motion of the horse all fell upon this leg," laying, her left liand upon the left side of the rich but simple skirt of old gold. "Then I made up my mind to ride one day upon the ri^it side of the horse and the next upcA the left, tiius altei'nating the benefits of the exercise. But when I found an erect posture im- possible to, a woman with a side saddle, and calculated the danp;ers of spinal curvature, I made up my mind to throw off all disguises, bestride my horse, and ride er^ct like ai man." Miss .Jenness said that tlie habit she worft^ at the academy Was too much like an ordinary- street dress for public riding, Mid so she was having a new costume made, with a waisfi after the conventional riding habit style. She said the principal difficulty most women would ex])erience riding in the new fashia^ would be in the lack of strength they would discover in the muscles of their kneea and thighs by .which muscles wen keep their hold upon the horse. She thought men's saddles were perilous, being uttei^ without those guards and pommels to which wemoi are accustomed. She suggeated that for banners a new saddle shc^d be made with knee guards on both sides. She faxon riding astride the horse by women, not only as being more healthftd, but al«o moie g^nceful than Ihe'old'style. She argues that with the right knee doubled up in nont of her, after the sidesaddj^ mode, a wonun's skirts ar* drawn up.into'an awkAvard bunch in front of her. The ^irtsof the new riding habit will reach only to the tips of the toes, but they will float gracefully ai)d unhindered ma either side the cantering steed.
