a popular hotel. She procured barrels Of
cold yictuals for her babies from the refuse
OF the hotels. The infants cries disturbed
the hotel boarders, and the proprietor peti-
toned Tor her removal. She went to
another place, leaving three dead babies in
her bureau drawer. Her old mother COM
planned, before they moved, that she
couldn t sleep III the same room with the
dead infants, 50 they were put outdoors and
covered up III a wash-tub. The board Of
health were put on her track, when, fearing
trouble, she applied for a license, which the
board OF aldermen refused to grant. A
powerful official took up her case, demand
ing she be licensed, and it was done. She
was again ordered to move, and simply went
to a central locality, where her business in
creased. At last she was arrested, but the
only penalty was u fine Of one dollar and

A Leader OF London Society Talking
out Of School.
rLondon Letter to the New York Times.

She is a lady, a titled lady, a leader in So
siety. and she condescends to have q long
chat with me. We have met at a notable
house in Mayfair. Only a gentleman OF
unb,emished honor, she says, could be adj
mitted into this holy Of holes. Is, she
will talk to me in this secluded nook OF trop-
ical leaf and sweet perfumes Tor a Whole
hour. if ! Ike. She no longer dances. She
says she is TOO old to be ylctIIlized by scan
dial.
Did she know the Prince Imperial? Yes,
do something to be talked about, that Is all.
Has she called on the Empress? Only to
inscribe her name in the book. Hates to
bore people. Thinks nothing so thankless
rs a call of coincidence. Does she know the
foolish things people say Of lord Dudley ?
She laughs, and says il IS too prerosterous.
Entire nous, Il is believed IN some circles that
the Earl has Il mania THAI one day he may
become a mother. But Madame does
know? Do ] wish to make her angry? No,
| want her to tell ne all the news, 1 answer
l. il true that ladies wear soft Waah-leather
Undertaking SO that the figure may be
seen? Quite true, and more.s the pity, IS
the answer. Has she noticed now and then
Mt the opera that ladies IN the audience are
sometimes more undTessed than tie artists
on the stage? Yes. Who are these ladies'?
She regrets to say that some are III her own
circle Of society, and that the morality Of
the Upper Ten Is not improving. u hat
does she think OF professional beauties?
Just what everybody else thinks. Has she
met Sara Bernhardt? Yes, she regrets to
say. She has met her in quite good society,
and she thinks her a fright. MADAME her
self, by the way, is fat and has light hair. J
Why does she regret? Because Sara Bern
harlit has not the ~virtuous reputation Of
Madge Kendall. But, did not Madame say
the society of the UpperTen IS not as moral
IS it should be? That did not matter.
Mayfair does not proclaim Its shortcomings
on the house-tops, and there is virtue and
virtue, and morality and morality.

mean in regard to ladies? Yes. He is
not a Joseph, she says, and hides her face
behind her fan. The band in the distance
is playing a seductive waltz. Drawing a
lace curtain aside, we see the dancers. Sew

IN manly shlrt-tronts, and are clinging to
manly forms. What does her ladyship think

WHAT A FARMERS WIFE HAS TO Do
Seeing the query, Why are farmers wives
more liable than other women to become IN
sane??' | thought | would give a hint as TO
what might be one OF the reasons. A wo-
man on a farm has TO work SO much the
harder than one in town. 1t is only mno
for her to have to do most of the garden
tending, look after the chickens, bring the
COWS from the pasture, milk, and take them
back, Stop the hogs, do all her own house
work, washing and ironing included, and at
tending to children. Then, when Sunday
comes and she wants to 90 to church or Oh
a visit, she IS told by Seth that the horses
are tired or he don't feel Ike going
Very likely he has been gone a week, on
business, of course, but it was quite a change
from being at home. So lie does not feel
the need Of change as she does, and he is
too selfish to exert himself to please her;
the time he would do that is past. As it is
too far for her to go alone, she stays at home.
So for weeks, months and years, it is the
same routine Of labor, without relaxation.
No wonder the mind and body both give
way. If some one will give a recipe to cure
s~eltishncss in q husband, it will be Of more
benefit than anything else | can think OF.

FEMALE BEAUIY.-Let Us consider some
OF the customs OF the women Of various ma
tons. The ladies OF Arabia stain their fin
gers and toes red, their eyebrows black and
their lips blue. In Persia they paint a bla k
streak around the eyes, and ornament their
faces with various figures. The japanese
women glld their teeth, and those of the
Indies paint them red. The row of teeth
must bedyed black TO be beautiful IN Guzurat.
The Hottentot women paint the entire body
IN compartments Of red and black. In
Greenland the women color their faces with
blue and yellow, and they frequently tattoo
Their bodies By saturating threads III SCOT,
inserting them beneath the skin. and then
drawing them through. IIindoo females.

tumeric and grease. InnearIy all the islands
OF the Pacific and Indian oceans ,he women.
IS We'll as the men, tattoo a great variety of
hgures ON tie face, lips and tongue and the
whole body.
IN New Holland the females cut tbem-
selves with shells, and by keeping omen tbe
wounds a long time, form deep scars in the
flesh, which they deem highly ornamental.
And another singular addition is made 10
their beauty by taking off, in infancy. the
little finger OF the left hand at the second
joint. In ancient Persia an ~aquiIine nose
was often thought worthy of the crown; but
the Sumatran mother carefully hattened the
nose OF her daughter. Among some of the
savage tribes OF Oregon, and also in Sumatra
and %arracan, continual pressure is applied to
the skull in order to fatten it. and TINS eivc

4 strong aversion to red hair; the Turks. ON
the contrary, are warm admirers of it.
In China small, round eyes are liked; and
the girls are continually plucking heir eve
brows that they may be thin and long.
But the great beauty of a Chinese lady is in
her feet, which in childhood are so COM

The FARMER \ MECHANIC desires the
Press Association to fix the rates for adver-
Using among its members according to the
circulation Of the papers. There is no
doubt that something ought to be lone in
this direction, but we do not know whether
anything could be accomplished by following
out Bro. ShotwelIs suggestion or not. If
we are not mistaken, uniform rates were es-
tabllshed once, but some Of the editors
wouldn't stick We know OF an editor, in

WOMENS LIVES.
What they Endure to Secure Domes
tic Peace.

A writer in the London World says !:
When an entire life is one organized false
hood, what material moment can there De III
a few untruths more or less? These living
embodiments of mendacity are less rare than
might be imagined. 1t is not that they are
exceptionally given to the vice OF falsehood
in details. Their distinguishing. popularity
Is that events have placed them In a position
which makes their whole existence d lie.
no does not know the lady welded to the
man whom, in her fonder moments, she
vainly imagined was her choice Posses
sion is the grave of illusion. and the lover
who was all that was noble and chlvalrous
stands revealed as the m~ean-splr1ted, COM
monplace and generally contemplate hus-
band. Before the treacle-moon Is over, the
bride sees the bridegroom OF her heart IN
his true coiors, an empty-headed, preten-
tious, dull inposter. Yet this was years
ago, and, SO far as the world IS alloWed TO
know anything of the matter the middle
aged father of her children is to the matron
all that the youthful lover was The casual
spectator sees IN the gentleman what, as a
matter of fact, his wife sees IN hlm TOO.
Nevertheless, the casual spectator IS gwen
to understand that he is the sovereign lord
of her bosom, gifted with all the attributes
which make humanity great and good. She
IS not merely loyal to him-she worshlps
him. He is at once her husband and oracle.
She never wearies OF quoting his dullest
platitudes as pearls of wit and wisdom, yet
all the time she is well aware at heart that
he is what the world in general takes HIM to
be. Who shall blame her, any more than
the habitual drunkard, who, as a last des-
perate resource, takes the pledge? The two
cases are exactly parallel. The lady knows
that total abstinence from criticism Is the
only guarantee Of liberation, just as the
alc0hoIiZed sot perceiyes that If he IS to be
ever so sober he must forget the taste OF
stimUlants. The discipline is severe at first,
but the habit comes at last, and the lady
who has attained to it well knows that any
relapse into an attitude Of impartial obser-
vance would be fatal.
Life abouuds in experiences of this kind.
1t IS quite certain that they come before no
spiritual confesSor 1t is almost certain
that, while they have in them an element
wanting neither in heroism nor in pathos,
it is a pathos and heroisin whose moral in
fuence are deplorable. Here we are met by
one OF the many unanswered puzzles OF life.
1t IS clearly the duty Of the wife to love,
honor and obey her husband. This she can
only do III the manner already described.
OF course this process reacts upon her moral
character. Gradually she becomes absolute
y incapable OF rigid adherence to truth in
many matters in which truth is really Of
some Importance. Yet she owes it to this
very fact OF being a persistent liar that she
IS a faithful and devoted wife. Who shall
condemn her? and, If no one condemns her,
who shall say the truth IS IN her case virtue.
