The Treasury Girls.

Mary Clemmer, writing of United
States senators and treasury girls, says:
A very few years ago happened to be
in q house where q senator of the United
States-a widower--paid the most mark
ed attention to lady in it, who earned
her living in department office. Neith-
er her intelligence nor her culture was
large, but she was comely to behold, and
had an affectionate disposition. The man
who sought her society to the exclusion
of all other male aspirants, who drove
away her young man to threatened sui
eide, had many gifts to charm weak wo-
men denied the power of penetration and
the heaven-sent protection of insight. In
the womans heart with loves young
dream played visions Of dawning splen-
dor, of the coming pomp and glory of life
soon to be all hers as n senator's wife.
She told her friends of the approaching
marriage, and the senator's public, abso-
lutte and undivided devotion certainly
seemed outward proof of her happy as
sertions.. Her monthly stipend was in
sufficient to procure sufficient outfit fol
the grand dame of the future. She Dor.
rowed money from more than one friend
and putting it with her own savings il
New York, bought costly trousseau
fit for a senator's wife. She came bacl
to Washington with it. She made ready
for her nuptials. The marriage day was
set. 1t came-but not the senator
Where was he? Gone to his daughter
He shared her fond arms with her lap
dog. Here the smiling and witty "vic
tim " shut his handsome eyes in pious
peace, thanking God that at last he was
beyond the designs of that woman.
To hear the daughter tell the story wa,
something wonderful. Poor father =
"Almost caught in such a pitfall - "Sucl
designing piece ~ "She courted him
certainly she did -
Yet everybody who knew the two lney
perfectly well that he was sinner full o
| guile, whose practice on wOman's afleC
tions was fine art, and that she was
woman, unsuspecting and high minde,
to a singular degree.
| Had she been less sensitive and NOR
worldly, she would have sued him fo
breach of promise. As it was, she hi,
| her marriage garments out of sight, an,
went back to her desk; there she sits to
| day. We all know that woman of sen
sibility would never sue man for breacl
of promise of marriage, no matter wha
her wrongs might be. But it is fortu
nate for justice that some women are no
troubled with sensibility, and do thei
best to make such masculine sinners sui
fer at least part of what they deserve.

Desiderata i'm Smoking.

According to DIR. BERTRAND, in the
Tribune Medicale, whatever be the
mode of smoking, direct contact of the
tobacco with the "mucus buccalis -
mucous lining of the cheeks-and the
teeth must be avoided; cigars should be
smoked in an amber, ivory, or enameled
porcelain mouthpiece; to smoke, by re-
Lighting them, portions of cigars that
have been extinguished, together with the
system of blackened and juicy pipes,
must be avoided, as it is the surest way
of being affected by nicotine; every
smoker would do well, if practicable, to
rinse his mouth after smoking, and it
would be we'll to subject pipes and bowls
in which tobacco has been burned to
frequent washings either with ether or
with water mixed with alcohol or with
vinegar. The cigarette is preferable, by
reason of its slight quantitative import
ance, and the paper which interferes with
the contact of its contents with the buc-
cal mucous membrane; but to realize all
the desiderata in this case it would be
necessary to have the "papelito made
OF flax thread, and to abstain from the
practice which has become SO universal
of retaining the aspiration at the back
of the mouth, SO as to pour it out of the
nostrils afterward.

Fashion Notes.

Morning jackets for dressing or for
breakfast are of twilled woods and of
fiannels of pale or of dark shades of
blue, rose or cardinal, and are embroid-
cred lightly with white floss. They are
made with deep sailor color, and are
slightly sloped in with the figure. Opera
fannels are also used for this purpose,
and are trimmed with pinked bands or
with bias bands piped or corded with
white. These are imported unmade with
the embroidery all complete. Ladies
who have learned point Russo and can do
buttonhole scalloping neatly, embroider
their own jackets. The fancy this year
is to trim all colors with white work.
For those who do not use needle work,
the linen Smyrna lace is commended.
The fringes just imported are as ele-
giant as lace, and quite as expensive, some
of them being as high as So yard. The
netted heading is as broad as the droop-
ing fringe, and there are " flies" oil
double tassels of crimped silk caught in
the netting. Others represent three OF
four rows of tassels, and these are espe.
cially liked in rich silk for trimming sill
wraps. For the woolen Dolmans tha
will be worn in the spring in gray ant
brown shades are woolen fringes Il
match, in prices beginning as low as sixt,
cents yard, and extending up to 81. 25
These will be considered more appropri
ate than the more expensive silk fringe
! for wool garments,

Transpianting LObsterS.

Living Holsters for some years have
been brought to England from Scan
dinavia, and form profitable branch
of trade to few vessels. One of the
Allan steamers sailing from Portland a
few days ago had on board a huge tank
full of living Holsters. The tank was
constantly supplied with water by a
donkey engine, while the sluices car
ried away the overflow. The only dan
ger to the living cargo anticipated was
the warm water of the G If stream,
whose effect was not known, The
Scandinavian traders have different
cause of fear. After thunderstorm, it
is said, the Holsters are clawless, many
of them lifeless, and all very consider
ably damaged in different ways, wheth-
er from fright or ether causes is not
known. If this Portland venture turns
out to be successful there will be a new
field opened for trade from Nova
Scotia, or more particularly Newfound-
land whese coasts are literally alive
with Holsters.

The Mormon and His Wives.

"Among the gentiles," asked q re-
porter of a Mormon in Salt Lake City,
"even one wife is often regarded as on
expensive luxary. How is it that among
the Mormons poor man is able to sup
port several wives p
"Oh, that is easy to explain. A man
who joins the Mormons generally makes
money by it. Let us suppose case.
Say European peasant comes over here
with his wife, having been induced to
join the Mormons in Utah. He imme-
diately takes possession OF 16O acres
of good land under the law of Con-
gress. Now, this is a great thing for a
man who has probably never owned q
foot of ground before. The land out
there, you must remember, is very good.
The soil is rich and deep, and the rain
fall has increased, suppose, about one
hundred per cent. in the last fifteen
years. Still, the land has to be irrigated
to some extent. Well, the man goes to
work and puts up n little hut made OF
slabs or logs and mud; then he gets a
COW, raises crops, and pulls through the
first year. He may have brought over
a peasant girl to work for him at, say 81
or SO week. He sees that he can just
as we'll marry the girl and save the wages
he would otherwise have to pay her. He
gets baby as soon as he can, and the
next year he puts this new wife of his
with her baby, upon another 16O acres
of land. Perhaps he has been smart
enough to build his hut just on the
boundary of the farms, SO that by put,
ting up an extension the new family
can live in the same house and get Oh
another farm. Then as he extends his
/ domain, he will marry more wives, ano
each of his additional children he puts
upon another 1G0 acres. Now, you know
after the settler has occupied a farm fol
five years, built upon and worked it, he
gets full title to the property from the
Federal government. Each of his wives
after he has lived on another 160 acre:
for the same time, can swear out cleal
title as head of family This ha'
always been done, and is done still
And thus the head of the concern, who
came into the country a poor peasant
often becomes regular PATRON, living
in ease in the center of his domain, while
his wives and their children go on in
creasing their numbers and his wealth
Now you know just how it is done"

How Rubber Boots are Made.

The gum used is imported directly
from Africa, South America and Central
America, that from Central America
being the best, while the African gum is
the poorest. The raw gum, which is
nearly white, is ground several times
between immense futed iron rollers,
after which it passes through the com
position room, which process is secret,
but when it comes out the gum has the
black appearance of common rubber.
The next process is that of passing the
rubber between chilled iron cylinders,
of many tons weight, which are kept very
not and very smooth. A part of the
rubber intended for "uppers," is here
spread upon and fastened-to long sheets
of cloth. The heels and taps are stamped
out of sheets of gum of the required
thickness. The rubber cloth is now car
ri ID to the cutters room, where it is cut
out and sent to the boot makers. The
boots are made by men, the shoes or or,
dinary rubbers by girls, while the over
shoes are made by either. One man will
make twelve or fourteen pairs of boots q
day, and receive twenty cents pair.
An active girl will make from twenty,
five to thirty pairs Of rubbers. After
the bootmaker is through they are placed
in an oven, where for twelve hours they
are subjected to temperature Of 300
degrees. They are then ready for box
ing and shipping. In one factory about
four thousand pairs of boots, rubbers,
and overshoes are turned out daily.

The Old WidOWer.

Alone. aye, masters, I live alone in this one
small room that you see,
For now my old woman is laid to rest I've no
one to think of me
We were welded long, long while ago, full
fifty years or more,
And folks find changes hard to bear when nigh
upon four score
All, she was handsome and winsome lass in
the days of the far back past,
And beauty linger'd on her old face for me to
the very last
True, she sometimes had bit OF tongue, but
maybe had one too,
And 1 find out now she's dead and gone what
worries wife goes through.
Aye, the petty troubles of woman's life man
can only learn
When he has to light his fire himself, and finds
green wood won't burn;
When he has to wash out his bits of things,
and cook his food himself,
And keep his crockware free from dust, and
ranged on nice clean shelf.
And then the needle that seemed to fly with
magic speed through her work,
Sticks tightly in mine, as if rusted in, and Ipul
it out with jerk;
And my cotton ties in thousand knots, and
as for worsted yarn,
know 1 could dig up an acre of ground while
I'm doing little darn.
The old gray cat that my dead wife loved comes
rubbing against my hand,
And often find myself talking to her as if She
could understand
But It's comfort to speak when my heart is full
for it softens my grief away,
And don't want to hear other people preach
for there is nothing new they can say.
or courseI know she is better off, but man al
the close of life
Seems beginning his working days over agaiI
when he loses his long time wife
l shall go to her, aye, I'm thinking of that, anc
I'll patiently here abide
Till under the shade of the church we botl
loved, am laid by my old wife's side.

Fleeing from Bliss.

The Burlington HaVkeye tells this
story: About two weeks ago young
lady broke through the ice of deep
skating pond near Toronto, and a young
man rescued her at the risk of his own
life. AS the half drowned girl WAS re-
covering consciousness her agonized
father arrived on the spot. Taking one
of her cold, white hands in one of his
own, he reached out the other for the
hand of her rescuer, but the young man, /,
realizing his danger, with one frightened
glance broke for the woods, and was soon
lost to view. He has not been heard OF
since, and it is supposed that he is trav-
cling in the United States under the ia Sc
and hollow name of Smith.

GHOST Or NO GHOST.

The celebrated General, Marshal Sake.
having arrived with part of his army at =
village in Germany, where they were TO
pass the night, proposed sleeping himself
In an old castle, which had been long
neglected, ami was believed by all i'm the
neighborhood to be haunted by spectres
whose nightly yells were often heard by
those who dwelt beneath its walls MAJ
shal SAKE was not the man TO be terrified
by such reports from taking possession of
his desiihed Chamber. He accordingly
went to bed at his usual lime, but had not
been long asleep before he was awakened
10y the most horiid noise his ears had ever
heard, AMI while he was endeayuring to
recollect himself, the door of his chamber
opened. and a human figure of very large
dimensions appeared at the side of the bed
The Marshal instantly discharged a pistol
at the supposed specter, which appeared to
strike it. as it fell OF the floor he then
rose from his bed and aimed blow with
his saber at the figure, but the blade found
resistance. AND shivered in his hand.
At this moment the apparition rose, and
beckoned the General to follow. He ubeyed
the summons, and attended him 30 the end
of long gallery, where a trap-duor opened
and they sunk 10y some machinery into 4
cavern, which communicated with a sub
terraneous apartment occupied by baud
of coineTs, one of whom. clad in complete
armor traversed the castle every night TO
deter any person from inha5iting il. Thus
it appeared that the steel resisted the ball,
and shivered the Marshal's sword. but the
villain was Knocked down by ils force, from
which however he quickly recovered. Mar
shall Sake, with his usual presence of mind,
told them who he was, and laid before them
the danger of detaining him. wien he had
a surrounding army who would dig to tho
center of the earth to find him but at the
same time gave them an assurance that. if
they would conduct him back To his cham
Der, he would never relate the history of
that night while he could do them harm
The coiners paid ready obedience to-
his will, and he kept his word with them,
until subsequent discovery of their conceal
ment gave him full liberty to relate this
extraordinary adventure.
