Lady LOafePSo

A cynical AnOnyma writes to the Gin
clnnatl Commercial as follows:
Sometimes it seems to me that the
whole social life Of women is based up
on two ldeaS-aping and envy. The
woman who lives III two little back
rooms up stairs, apes and enVieS the
woman who has whole house to herself.
The woman who has a small house, apes
and enYies the woman with large
house, and the woman with large
house is in a steady fever of fear and
| frettlng lest she be not recognized and
| visited by the woman who has a stone
front house and circus chariot with a
! clown dressed up in buttons. No mat
| ter how high up a woman climbs upon
the social ladder, there is always still
some higher height which she can't
scale, some other woman over head
who looks down upon her, and gives
her days and nights of jealOusyand head
ache. Not blessed woman of them
all is happy and content in the soil
needs spend her best time and strength
IN frantic Efforts to pull herself by the
roots and transplant herself some
where else. The snobs who ride
circus chariOts curl up their noses at the
schOOimlsstresses, the schOOlmistresses
look down from infinite heights upon
the clerks and dressmakers, and the
clerks and dressmakers i'll turn pay il
off with interest upon the kitchen girls
| What nonsense, what tOmfOolery it all
| Is. Is SChOOlmlSstresS any better OF
higher up than washerwOman ? Not
a bit. And are not the schoOlmistTes<
and the washerman both infinitely bet
ter and higher up than the lady lOafer
the-the Stole MOOrcs of the feminine
sex, in short Yea, verify.
Women are the most absurd creatures
all owing to the silly fancy that it il
lady-like to be loafer. A little time
ago one of my small busy h0usekeeper
friends asked a lady-lOafer caller wha
had become OF her sister.
"She goes down town every day now, ,
said the lady-lOafer hesitatingly.
Is she at WOrkw quOth the house
keeper.
"We1l, ye-yes," said the lady-loafer
still more hesltatlngly.
What does she do ?" asked m,
friend.
The lady-loafer stammered an,
backed off painfully two or three times
and finally made a clean breast of it
thusly:
"She-she-she has charge of til
trimmings in a dress-making es
tablishment. She has nothing t
: do with the dress making. She ha
charge of the trimmings. It's not
common dress-making establishment
It's one of the fashionable dress MAX
ers. She wont make a dress for u poo
wOmann
l ooh, glory fan me with a cabbage
leaf?n, quoth my friend, the small
busy hOusekceper.
The idea of a body's dress maker sci
ting herself to be highstOcracy.n TIL
: laurels Of the lady loafers in the circu
chariOts are quite faded and withere
, after that: And yet, why not dress
: maker3 Isn't money made at dress
: making quite as ariStOcratic as none
made with pork, whisky, hides, soa
tallOw and tobacco? Those are tn
: material foundation upon which OF
e American nobility found their air
castles of aristocracy, you know, an
;, I'm sure dress-making is quite as hig
and honorable as any of them.

How TO FEED A GRUNTER.-The head
waiter in one of our hotels was, few
days since, made the recipient of young
pig. Never having had such "party"
to take care Of before, he was at loss
to know how to feed it, but finally con-
cluded that the leavings of the table
would fill the contract. These he sup
piled in liberal quantity, and as con-
sequence piggy soon got very sick. Ono
day, after having given to it the usual
collation., the cOlOred gemman was OBJ
served filing large can with ice cream,
and being told that that was no food for
a pig, replied" GOlly! he's jes got to
learn to eat dessert, or die!n

One day he was suddenly called up and
the question prOpounded by the peda-

How many Gods are there2"
Pat was not distinguished theOlOgian,
but quickly answered:
"Three, siT.H
"Take your seat" thundered the mas
ter, "and if you don't answer in five
minutes, | viii welt you"
The probationary passed, and Pat,
taking the floor, hesitatingly stated the
number to be FIVE, sir"
He received the promised welting, and
returned to his seat ten minutes for con-
sideration.
Ten minutes up, Pat was up too, and
satisfied that he had not fixed the num-
Der sufficiently high before, shouted out:
"There's ten, sir" ..'
He saw the ferule descending, and
breaking for the door, he cleared q five
rail fence and run like quarter horse
across the meadow. Painting with ex-
haustiOn, he met a lad with look of one
in pursuit of knowledge under Difficult
| ties he asked: g.. .-+
Where are you gOing2h
"TO school, y0nder,n was the reply.
How many Gods are there2n
Cone" answered the boy.

ESSAY ON THE PARR0T,-Can anybody
explain the secret of an old maid s fond
ness for parrots? We can understand
why q woman should like cats. The
cat is graceful and cleanly creature,
with soft fur. Though not affectionate,
she Stimulates affection, and Durs hy-
p0critieally about the feet of her mis-
tTess. But the parrot is an ugly, ILL
grained thing, with q harsh voice which
sets the teeth ON edge like the filing Of
a min-saw. It waddles like a duck in
attempting to walk, and it's tail feath-
ers are always dirty and bedragged
like the trail Of O wo1nan's dress who
has dragged it through two miles of
mud, tobacco spittle, cigar stumps,
slops and other street filth, The par
parrot squawks necessarily from morn
ing till night ia without decency or
sense. and will nip the finger Of the
person who feeds it as remOrseiessly as
a terrier breaks the back of rat, 1t Is
Il doWdy i'll dress, a fool for want of
sense, and a hog in ita habits. And yet
it's mistress would rather have a 200
pound he monster sit down on her new
bonnet than anything should happen to
the green and aFapge abominatiOn,
whose only accomplishment is schreech-
ing out at short intervals, Polly wants
q crackerm For the information OF
clearinghouse sufferers, | will suggest
that q couple Of bricks, lashed togeth.
er and dropped with a good aim from
an upper story window, will generally
satisfy Polly's appetite for crackers.
