00URTED THE WRONG LADY.

A good joke is told at the expense
of distinguished minister in Baltl-
more. The Reverend gentleman, it
seems, in addition to being one of the
most talented orators Of the day, is
also very absent minded and not q lit
tie eccentric. A few years since he
resigned his pastorats in Baltimore
and accepted a call to San Fran cisco
During his residence in the latter
city he met with the sad misfortune
to lose his wife, a noble christian Ia
dy, and almost indispensable to tie
doctor, for she always kept him from
making blunders peculiar to sccen-
trio and absent minded husbands.
After a reasonable and respectable
period of mourning, the doctor con-
cluded that it was bsst TO rs-marry
and in casting around for wife he
recalled the fact that in his Balti-
more congregation there were two ex-
cellent ladies who were sisters. One
Of theee ladies he determined to pro-
pose to, and accordingly opened a
correspondence, as he supposed, W ith
her. His letter was duly answered
and in short time he wrote pro-
posal, which in due time. was an
swered and ths proposal accept d.
Accompanying the letter Of accept
ance was picture Of the bride elect.
This the doctor looked at, turn
ed it over and looked again. Then
pitching it upon the table he exclaim-
ed, "As | live I have courted the
wrong woman !" 1t seems that it
was the sister he wanted. but getting
the christian names blended he had
addressed the wrong lady. How he
will adjust the difficulty is not known,
but it is said he has as vet failed to
comply with his engagement, and
may be waiting for an opportunity to
get out of his scrsps and finally OBJ
tain the prize he wants.

Wo4EN WoorNG FORTUNE.

Last week 1he GTdphsc gave some
particulars concerning the organiza-
|ation Of q firm of women brokers, who
announced that they had entered the
financial arena in earnest and were
prepared to compete with male
friends in the buying and selling of
various stocks in the market. To-
day another firm. "The Ladies' MIN
ing Agency" opened its doors for
business, at No IA East Fourteenth
street. Miss O. A. Bodgstt. who is
the originator and heaviest member
of the firm. was met during the morn
ing at her Office by a Graphic report
er. AT the time Of the visit she was
experimenting the fitting up of the
rooms Of the Office on the second foor.
The front room, overlooking Four
tesnth street, is beautifully carpeted,
and in addition to an ordinary busi-
ness desk resting against the westerly
side, contained several chairs, anoth-
Or desk on the east side, mirror and
d number Of ictures. The rear room
which is large and commodious, is
similarly carpetsd and is supplied
with q parlor organ. We are not
yet to rights" explained Miss Blodg-
cit, "sircs we only took possession of
the apartments to-day. In few
days, however, we will be ready to re-
ceive our friends in a becoming man
nsr." y@ ..,r
What line of stocks will the firm
deal in ?" was asked. l
"We will devote our attention at
present she replied, "to the mines Of
. certain distiiot-Oolorado. A
syndicate comrosed exclusively Of Ia
dies is being formed for this object
and such has tsen its success, that
there is not the slightest fear that
there will be a failure. Some Of the
first ladies' of the city are Subscribers,
and must say that. in all my expe-
risnce, ] have never seen such enthu-
siasm manifested as in this scheme,
The mines in question are owned and
operated by personal friends Of mine,
and the firm will lie kept thoroughly
posted by competent man, so that we
will not invest in properties that have
the slightest tsint about them. / en-
tered into this acheme throhga ga-succass
saiaaia in disposing Of certain mining
stocks at us suggestion of a gentle
man, and since tien have gained q
knowledge of mines and mining that
enables me to enter the Lists With con
6dence and high hopes. There is no
reason why women should not succeed
in such undertakings"
| Miss Blodget said that as soon a.
the syndicate was established com.
psny would be formed to work the
mines selected, and thereafter the
firm would extend it's operations by
buying and selling all kinds of repu-
table mining shares on commission.
Come up and see us in q week Or
two," she said as the reporter was
taking his leave, "and then we can
give you some further particulars
about our venture" ."-Graphic.

EFFECTS OF PLANTS ON THE HEA1TH

EFFECTS OF PLANTS ON THE HEALTH
The popular belief that plants kept in the
house are injurious to the inmates, is
purely fanciful. Under the influence of
sunlight the leaves of plants absorb car
honic acid from the atmosphere and de-
compose it, yielding back the life-support-
ing oxygen, from which the inference
might be justified that they were rather
wholesome than otherwise. On the other
hand, it has been shown that when the in
fiuence of light is withdrawn, this action
of the plant is temporarily suspended the
plant sleeps, and the excess of carbonic
acid gas taken up during the day is given
off at night; and because of this action the
presence of plants in sleeping apartments
has been thought to be unwholesome or in
furious. The bad effects to be attributed
to plants from this cause are too trihing to
be worth serious consideration. The in
habiting OF sitting and sleeping apartments
warmed by baked air drawn from foul
cellars, the neglect of means to secure
proper ventilation, especially in sleeping
apartments, and the poisoning of the at
mosphere of dwelling houses by the en-
trance of sewer gases through leskly traps,
are very real and common dangers, COM
pared to which the one alluded to sinks
into utter insigniicance, if indeed it be
worthy to be considered at ALL Manufac-
turer and Builder.
