 The Women Eof New York.

A New York city paper says; It IS
 very hard to understand how the mass
 of men live in this or any other large
 city, where everything, from wink of
 sleep to mouthful of food, must always
 be paid for. But it is much harder to
 understand how women eke out sub-
 sistence; for they have far less strength, inferior health and generally much lower wages. It is estimated that some 60, 900 women in and about this city alone earn their own living, and that the number steadily increases from year to
 year. They are of all grades, from servants to fashionable modistes, book keepers, artists and managers. A num- l Der of them are members of intellectual professions, such as medicine, featuring, i journalism, actiLg. Not few of them
 earn 8 good deal of money, notably
 actresses, milliners and dressmakers,
 and often they acquire 8 handsome ln- d 3pendence. The profits of actresses are probably higher than those of any other i feminine calling; then cont milliners, and next dressmakers. Lecturers have | hitherto made considerable money | Anna Dickinson cleared, it is said, S40,- GOO in one year-but recently the public | bas cared very little for them, the busI-
 ness having been overdone and the quaI- 1 ity of the lectures having grown very poor. A number of women who nave done very well at it have been obliged
 to retire from the field lack of 1 patronage. Actresses, on the contrary, command higher salaries and secure
 more lucrative engagements than ever.
 But they must have some talent, some power of attraction. They cannot, as
 many women believe, rush upon the
 stage without any mental endowment.

Giant Power.

Chemistry itself is at 8 loss to esti- mate the power of nitro-glycerine, and vet this new agent oi death is twenty her cent. stronger. That our readers may be enabled to form a faint concep- ton of the danger of such q preparation, we will give brief description of the process by which nitro-glycerire, giant and Hercules powder are supposed to be manufactured, and of the extreme eau ton necessary in their manufacture.
 In the manufacture of nitro glycerine, two tubes, each about 8 quarter of an inch in diameter and six inches in length, lead into single tube of double their capacity but oi the same length.
 Nitric acid is introduced into one and sulphuric acid into the other of these small tubes. The iarge tube contains
 glycerine. The two acids are then
 forced quite gradually into the glycerine, and the chemical combination thus forms an explosive of incalculable power.
 So powerful and dangerous is this article, that not an ounce of It IS al- lowed in the manufactory while this tube six inches long and half an inch Tn diameter, is being filled, and this tube IS kept constantly sWathed in ice during the process. To make giant powder, this nitro glycerine IS allowed to orIo
 upon clay (similar to meersehaum) impor6ed from Germany. This clay is the only perfect absorbent of nitro olycerine known. AS Hercules powder is darker, it is believed that that ex plosive is manufactured by the same
 process, charcoal. an imperfect ab sorhent, being used instead of saic quality oi clay If, in the man fracture of nitro-glycerine, strong tube is kep swathed in ice, and q quantity of the | liquid only six inches in lengtii and hal an inch in diameter is allowed in tht building st the same time, no wonder 1 that General Von Bokkelon, with hi! preparation twenty per cent. more pow erful, remarked that he would have l 1 handled thermometer in hand!- Vsr l gjastG City Chronicle.

A SchooIroom Episode.

A boy of twelve, whose ideas are shooting in the vicinity of Lancaster, Pa., recently evinced his partiality for . schoolmate ofthe opposite sex by dis id- ing huge turnip during school hours. Another lad, jealous very like, teased him by rolling his eyes and muttering "Sweet on the girl" The lad got angry and hurled his share of the turnip at the offenders head. The teacher saw what had been done and directed the boy who had thrown the turnip to take his place at the desk and to stand there until otherwise ordered. The girl who had received the other part of the turnip, hot with indignation and anxious to share disgrace with her admirer, at once threw her portion at the jealous boy. The teacher ordered her to take her place beside the first culprit-which was precisely what she wanted to do.

A HomeIy woman,s Charm.

Girls who think that it is necessary to be beautiful in order to be attractive, should get bravely over that notion. young woman's plainness- which. by the way, saves her from a great many annoyances and dangers need detract nothing from her loveliness if only her disposition is amiable, her mind cul- tured and her heart kind and pure.
 The story is told of 8 famous lady who once reigned in Paris society, that she was SO very homely that her mother said one day: My poor child, you are too ugly for any one to ever fall in love with you"
 From this time Madame de Circourt began to be very kind to the pauper children of the village, the servants of the household, even the birds that hopped about the garden walks. She was always distressed if she happened to be unable to render a service.
 This goodwill toward everybody made her the idol of the city. Though her complexion was sallow, her gray eyes small and sunken, yet she held in devotion to her the greatest men ot her time Her unselfsh interest in others made her, it is said, perfectly irresist- ible.

From Washington.

Judge Lawrence, first comptroller of the treasury, has rendered decision in which he shows that there is no specific statute regard ing the payment of lost bonds. The decision holds that when government bond payable ssto bearero has been lost the government may, after 6 sufficient length of time, make payment thereof on clear proof of the owner ship and upon the execution of proper bond of indemnity.
 The report made by the American steamer Courier, which recently arrived at Hakodadi, Japan, that the Arctic exploring vessel Jean nette had been lost with all on board is dis credited by Chief Clark, of the revenue marine bureau of the treasury department. Mr. Clark says there IS no doubt that the whalers referred to in the report were lost in the ice but he does not think 1t at all probable that the Jeanette was among the number. It is very likely, he says, that the natives who furnished the information mistook the steam whaler for the Jeannette; and he thinks that the latter vessel will be heard from in due time.

The tangling web of life,

Is but a bit of color fraught
With daily, hourly strife.

The inwove threads span,
To know how this and that unite
'Tor bringing forth the figure bright
That forms the perfect plan.
Rapidly the shuttle flies
When heart and hope are mine;
When on the loom the sunlight pours,
The flecks of gold, like summer flowers,
In wondrous beauty shine.

Dark tinted is the work,
When 'mong the threads an evil knot
Envy and malice-love forgot,
Doth unexpected Turk.
Patiently, with tear dimmed eye,
Weave in sorrows day;
Scarce can tell what threads hold
Il only know that grief untold
Hides all but sodden gray.
Trustfully sit and weave,
know it's mine to do,
That which He gives into my hand
Complete in Him who wisely planned
Shallsbe the pattern true.
