Noble Traders.

IT is we'll known that many French
noblemen do not hesitate to sell wines
of famous vintage, and make hand
some profit by the transaction. They
practice other methods of money-get-
ting which are not so aristocratic. There
was one Duke, millionaire a dozen
times over, who sold his game, the poor,
thrifty man, as eagerly as though he had
been a simple poacher, and retailed the
fruit OF his country seat at St. Cloud
like a kitchen gardener of the Plain of
Genneviliers. He also sent to market
baptized milk-he was a pious man, the
noble Duke-furnished by his two COWS.
Another grand seigneur, Marquis,
drives thriving business in loaning out
silver-plate for weddings and dinner
parties in town. It is the family plate
which he puts to this use, and the pieces
ornamented with his cOat-of-a arms graces
the tables of title-worshiping common
ers. There is also Baron who is the
Inventor and propagation of the matri-
mOnial profession" Do you want
wife, not too mature, not too sentiment
tai? Address, in all confidence, any of
the branches of the house, Paris, Lon
don or Vienna. Deposit one hundred
francs or one thousand francs, accord
ing to circumstances, plus commission
of five per cent. on the ,ady's dot.
Once in while the house has to sue de-
linquent patrons; usually, however, the
excellent Baron gets his fee, as his
splendid chateau at St. Cloud testi-
fes. He has rivals, though, in the
persons of certain Marquises, Count
esses and BarOnesses, who are trying to
draw away trade from him by cutting
under his rates; they are satisfied with
a deposit of fifty francs or even of twen-
ty-fve francs, and charge commission
of only three per cent. on the dot.
Then there is a noble Countess who
leases small houses and furnishes them
for the accommodation of English and
American travellers, making hand
some profit thereby. Note that the
Countess is very rich, and that her hus-
band gives her an allowance for her
toilet that would comfortably support
an entire family. Three of the most
elegant and distinguished ladies of
Paris, whose names are constantly re-
curing in the society news of the jour-
mails, have formed a company of the
most original kind, and keep shop, their
confidential agent doing duty as shop
man. They furnish the wares-noth-
ing else than their cast-off dresses and
toilet knick-knacks of which they have
become tired. It is said that these
ladies are doing a capital business, and
that sometimes, in the intimacy of the
boudoir, they graciously exhibit their
account books for the inspection of par
ticular friends. The book of herald-v
includes the names of many pre-; y
traders like these.-Paris Letter.

Some Types of Western Girls.

SITTING over there in corner of the
porch, says a Chautauqua Lake corre-
spondent, is the typical Pittsburgh girl.
She dresses well, but not so deliberately
as some of her sisters from other places );
she goes in for brains, money, hand
some masculine admirers and personal
comfort; she is good-lOoking or pretty,
but is not beautiful, as a rule; she has a
carriage or buggy at home and knows
how to row and ride; she iirts with en-
thusiasm and has goodly following of
beaux, but she rarely marries until she
is past twenty. Lazily rocking to and
fro in that big chair is the Cleveland
girl. She IS wonderfully vlvacious; her
piquancy is something marvellous and
electrical in its effect. She is exceed
ingly pretty, and frequently has the
rarest kind of American beauty. She is
quiet in dress, but has style and knack
in wearing her costumes that makes her
the envy of her sex here. This faculty
enables her to always appear fresh and
dainty without frequent changes in APP
parel. She reads a great deal, talks
well, firts in a dolce far aa,ente way, that
is as becoming to her as her cloth robes.
She is independent in opinion, knows
something about politics from an Ohio
stand point. She deals frankly with the
men of her acquaintance, is shy about
making friends of strangers, and dances
divinely. The girl who is laughing and
talking rapidly with the gentleman who
is promenading with her is from Colum-
bus, o. She wears a great many snowy
dresses, knows every body, is good
hearted, easy to become acquainted with
at this sort of place, talks a great deal
about her schod-llfe and her conquests,
and does not like the Cleveland girl.
The Buffalo girl is pretty and interest
ing, and has ideas. She does not know
how to dress well, because she adlnires
obstreporous colors. She dances well,
firts as though she enjoyed it hugely,
and marries man with great deal of
money-if she can. The indianapolis
girl is jolly, affable and kindhearted.
She is moderate in her ambitions, likes
autograph albums, and wears nice,
tasteful dresses. The Louisville girl is
full of dash and vim, dresses nobility, and
has many marvellous suits. She has
pretty Southern accent, and ia a general
favorite. One of the best types of Ohio
womanhood is the Warren girl. She is
modest, shy, extremely pretty, quiet but
stylish in dress, exquisite in figure.
charming in face and conversation, and
mows down the other sex without APP
parent effort or desire. She is good
and womanly, and 'sknows heaps.''

many persons who should never be in
trusted with the use of mower or harv-
ester. They can accomplish little with
1t, and are very likely to injure them
selves or the machine itself by awkward
ness or carelessness.
There are many other ways in which
farmers May save much and add much
to the comfort of their families by CO.
operative efforts. There is considerable
expense attending building and filing
an ice-house of sufficient capacity to
supply a family. If, however, ten farmers
unite in building and filing an ice-house
the expense to each will be trif1ing. The
labor of ten men and teams during one
day in winter will be sufficient to FILL it.
If it is located on public road or at the
intersection of two roads the trouble of
obtaining a supply of ice for each fami-
ly will be trifiing. To prevent wastage
as far as possible, it should be opened
at certain hour in the morning OR even
ing of each day, and kept closed the re.
mainder of the time. If desirable the
ice-house may be used for storing fresh
meats and poultry during the summer.
Much can be accomplished by means of
cooperation in supplying farms, houses
and stables with water. In many in
stances water may be conveyed from
single spring to the houses, stables and
pastures of half dozen farmers. All
that is wanted are suitable pipes laid be-
low the frost line and terminating where
the water is desired. One main may be
sufficient to conduct the water the entire
distance. From this main service pipes
may extend to as many places as the
water is needed for stock or domestic
purposes. An artesian well is generally
too costly a luxury for an ordinary
farmer to indulge in, but in many places
an artesian we'll may be made to supply
all the water required on several farms.
The expense OF conveying water in
wooden or metal pipes is trifling, but
the convenience of the arrangement can
only be appreciated by persons who
have enjoyed the advantages of hydrant
water in cities, and are then compelled
to raise il from a deep well by means of
a bucket or a pump. In many cases a
pump operated by wind power will raise
all the water required on several farms.
Half or three-fourths of the expense of
digging wells and erecting pumping
works might be saved if farmers would
unite in obtaining supply of water

Prof. Jas. Law cites many facts to
show that birds may be the victims of
smallpox and be the carriers of this
contagion from one place to another.
Pigeons and poultry in Europe and
Hindostan are quite subject to variola.
If it really be possible for the chickens
belonging to a family in which there is
smallpox to pick up the disease and
carry tito some neighbor' poultry-yard,
then the neighbors of all smallpox cases
are really subject to a very insidious
method of infection.-Dr. Foote's Health

PerilS of the Deep.
Chicago Inter-Ocean,


The world.renowned swimmer, Capt.
Paul Boyton, in an interview with a
newspaper correspondent at the sea-
shore, related the following incidents
in his experience:
Reporter. Capt. Boyton, you must
have seen a large part Of the world ?''
Capt. Boyton.-"Yess sir, by the aid of
my Rubber Life Saving Dress, I have
travelled over 10000 miles on the rivers
Of America and Europe; have also
been presented to the crowned heads Of
England, France, Germany, Austria,
Belgium, Italy, Holland, Spain and
Portugal, and have in my possession
forty-two medals and decorations;
have three times received the order Of
knighthood, and been elected honorary
member of committees, clubs, orders
and societies."
Reporter" Were your various trips
accompanied by much danger?
Capt. Boyton.- That depends upon
what you may CAL dangerous. During
my trip down the river Tagus in Spain,
had to "shoot" one hundred and two
| waterfalls, the highest being about
| eighty-tive feet, and innum cradle rap
ids. Crossing the Straits of Messina,
had three ribs broken in fight with
sharks; and coming down the Somane,
river in France, I received a charge
| of shot from an excited and startled
huntsman. Although all this was not
very pleasant, and might be termed
dangerous, I fear nothing more on my
trip than intense cold; for, as long as
| my linn bs are free and easy, and not
crampcd or benumbed, I am all right.
Of late carry stock of St. Jacobs Oil
in my little boat,-(the Captain calls it
Baby Mine," and has stored therein
signal rockets, thermometer, compass,
provisions, etc. and I have had but
little trouble. Before starting out I
rub myself thoroughly with the article,
and its action on the muscles is Won
derful. From constant exposure am
somewhat subject to rheumatic pains,
and nothing would ever benefit me.
until I got hold of this Great German
Remedy. Why, ON my travels I have
met people who had been suffering
with Rheumatism for years; by my adj
vice they tried the Oil, and it cured
them. 1 would sooner do without food
fol- days than be without this remedy
for one hour. In fact would not at
tempt trip without it"
The Captain became very enthusiast
tic on the subject of St. Jacobs Oil, and
we left him citing instances Of the Gu
rative qualities Of the Great German
Remedy to party around him.
