Girls as Wood EngraYeTs.

A contemporary asked wood en-
graver why he did not employ girls.
His reply was: 81 have employed women
very often, and 1 wish I could feel more
encouraged. But the truth is that
when young man comes to me and
begins his work he feels that it is his
life's business, He is to cut his fortune
ont of the fittle blocks before him.
Wife, family, home, happiness and all
are to be carved ont by his own hand,
and he settles steadily to his labor, de-
termined to master it, and with every
incitement squirting him on. He can
not marry until he knows his trade. II
is exactly the other way with the girl.
She may be as poor as the boy, and as
wholly dependent upon herself for o
living, but she feels that she will prob
ably marry by.and-bye, and then she
must give up wood engraving. So she
goes on listlessly; she has no ambition
to excel; she does not feel that all hei
happiness depends on it, She will
marry, and then her husbands wages
will support her. She may not say. SO
but she thinks so, and spoils her work

"Are you feeling very i'll ?" asked the

No woman wonld be happy to be the
only woman in the world and have all

satisfied. She'd want another woman
or two to envy her Boston Post.

Red and white make an admired COM
bination for evening wear.
Esthetic young ladies cling to the
small sunhower floral garnitures.
Whether bodices are plain, gathered
or plated is O question of figure.
The most fashionable flower garni.
lures for ball dresses are of water lilies,
Velvet, plush, moire and satin all
frequently appear in the same costume.
Ladies' riding hats are little lower
in the crown than they were last season.
Some large hats have the crowns
completely surrounded with silk pom
pons.
Young and slender women lrefor
low round waists with belts for evening
wear.
Ulsterettes reaching nearly to the
knee take the place of long ulsters this
season.
Heavy double box-plaited ruchings
adorn the bottom OF the skirt of many
handsome costumes.
Rhine crystal ornaments are now
made so fine as to simulate diamonds
wonderfully we'll.
Red paper fishes with blue eyes are
the latest novelty in japanese hanging
ornaments for rooms.
Long collars are worn by children,
girls in their teens, young ladies, ma
troLs and elderly women.
Ombre de Burmah is a new cloth for
ladies' suits. It comes with wide
fancy border for trimming.
Some novel imported hats are made
entirely of thick network of crystals
and beads, which in ihe evening glitter
like a thousand colofed gems.
Medium sized fans are carried instead
of the immensely large ones so lately
popular. Beautiful evening fans are
made of rose-tinted ostrich feathers,
with mother of-pearl handles Portia
fans are also shown, made of delicate
-tintel feathers, with sticks of
chased silver.
A single wide ruche at the edge of
the skirt is a favorito trimming for
simple dresses. 1t is five or six inches
wide and is laid in treble or quadruple
box-plaits placed an inch apart. 1t is
then stitched in the middle and the
edges are allowed to fall forward and
almost meet.
In the line of winter chapeau there
are few pronounced changes, which
might be classed as exaggerated style.
The "huge" poke takes the lead in
society headgear. This style is very
becoming to some faces, and particu-
larly when the wearer tips the bonnet
over the forehead.

Sights on a Road in Palestine,

The old maratime plain of the Philis.
tines (which is another name for Pales.
tine) lay along this coast, from GAIA
northward, and it was considered land
worth struggles. This Joshua found.
But in vain do we look for the "roses
of Sharon and the lilies that grow" in
roseate beauty. Still, we are told that
in the vernal season it is carpeted like
Texas prairie with flowers of various
hue and loyeliness. Along the dusty
afternoon road we pass innumerable
caravans of camels, led by Arabs on
donkeys. The Arabs generally sits on
tue remote point of the es cocygis of
the animal, aud without stirrllps. He
swings his bare brown feet and legs, while
the little beast, like julius, alongside
OF his father, trots inequo pede. Plenty
of women, with faces here apparent,
and in long, blue, cheap cotton man
ties, and sometimes with head crowned
with burdens of fruit, pitchers, straw or
wood, are met in the way. Some ruins,
mostly of churches, here and there ap.
pear, while square, windowless, Turkish
guard houses are seen at intervals, at
whose doors are the white dressed, fez-
capped Turkish soldiers with guns and
cigarettes. These are the police who
are supposed to guard the road: but to
our observation no guard is needed,
except in the dark mountain passes,
and there Turkish engineering has been
careful to have as few guard-houses a
possible.
There is not much to see on the road
until you come to Ramleh. Beggars
and backshish, and some old relics as
crusading reminders are here, and one
very conspicuous object. The latter is
square tower and winding staircase.
1t is off the road and has a fine view
of the surrounding country. 1t is over
1000 years old, and has many Moslem
associations. Ramleh has been the
scene of much contest. Indeed, every
little spot here in Judea is full of
memories, from the time Israel came
down from the Moab mountains into
the Jordan valley. The road is not to
be mentioned for its convenience and
perfection, only for its historic, relig.
ious and aesthetic interest. 1t was
built in 1869, by forced labor, and in
deed its rough and stony incomplete
ness looks like anything but the result
of cheerful work. 1t is supported by
tolls, so much per head, on every animal
on the road. One should not complain
Of the road when it is remembered that
before 1869 there was not bride path
to Jerusalem. 1t is said that the sultan
promised the Empress Eugene to build
a road to Jerusalem if she would come
that way, and this royal courtesy is the
origin of the road.- Congressman Coo.

The Life. Saving Service.

The following is a synopsis of the report of the
superintendent of TIE life-saving service: A,
the close Of the fiscal year the service included
1873 stations, OF which 143 were on the Atlantic,
thirty-four on the lakes, and six on the Pacific.
The number of casualties on the Atlantic coast
within the scope Of the service was ISL; on thu
lakes, "a, and on the Pacific coast, s. On board
the vessels wrecked were / $50 persons of whom
1854 wero saved and twenty-six lost The
humber brought ashore by life-saving appli.
ances was 40S, and succor was afforded to 407
at the various stations. One hundred and
seventy-eight vessels were helped by the life
! saving crews to get off when stranded, and wero
jpiloted to places of safety. The estimated
valpe Of the vessels wrecked within the scope OF
the service, together with their cargoes, was
s4,0j4752. OF this amount s2,S2S, $50 was
saved and 81, 22G, ,O72 lost. The general super.
intcndent of the service recommends the estab-
lishment Of additional stations at number OF
points on the Atlantic coast and the lakes, urges
that the compensation of keepers and crews be
increased to living rate, and makes an earnest
appeal for legislative enactments and appro-
priations which, in his judgment, are necessary
to keep the service from decay and dissolution.

A Boy.Pcddler,s Strange Whim.


The boy peddler, with twenty. nine
fine suits of clothing, twenty-four over
coats and thirty three pair of kid gloves,
has his home in Reading, Pa, and is
well known to all travelling commercial
men who get along that way. Periodi-
cally the boy breaks out in local adver-
tisements announcing an addition to
his extensive wardrobe, as follows:
"Thomas Jefferson Cummings has the
honor to announce that he has Just
added another suit to his fall afternoon
wear, and now his fine wardrobe con-
sists of forty fashionable full suits,
twenty-four overcoats," etc. 1t is his
boast that he can appear on the street
every day in the month and wear a
different full suit of clothing each day
and allow at least three changes on
Sunday. Cummings is about eighteen
years of age, peddles notions, with
basket on his arm, helps to support
widowed mother, pays cash for all
he gets, sells close and works hard.
On the streets of Reading his appear
ance is that of a Beau Brummel.
His dress is exceedingly loud, his
weakness running to green kid gloves,
corn-colored ribbons, pink eyeglasses
and silk hats OF the latest style. In the
country, on business, his appearance is
that of poor, humble, meek and lowly
Hebrew, and his customary salutation
to the people he calls on is: "Have
pity on poor boy and help him along"
The young man is exceedingly kind,
aftable and agreeable, and succeeds in
selling large quantities of goods at very
fair prices. The farmers have strong
liking for him, and when they visit
Reading on business and see the we'll
dressed young man sweeping past in
broadcloth, kids and gold -heau> cane,
they little dream that the young ms.> is
the peddler boy they know so we'll at
home.
His savings are entirely invested in
clothing and articles of adornment. At
times he is not seen for weeks. He is
then out on the country highways, coin
ing money in small way. He neither
smokes nor drinks, and has no expenses
worth speaking of. Then, suddenly,
he will break out in Reading, set the
fashions for week or more, and as
suddenly after disappear. He generally
leaves home on Monday morning, in
yariably starting before dawn, in order
that his acquaintances may not see him
In his country makeup. He carries a
large basket filed with goods, and he
orders his fresh supplies shipped to
various points along his route. On
Saturday night he generally returns,
looking decidedly weather. beaten, but

Our Legacies.

Our Legacies.
If some hand is quite still
That we have loved and kept in ours until
1t grew 30 cold;
If all it held hath fallen from its hold
And it can do
No more, perhaps there are few
Small threads which it held fast,
Until the last,
That we can gather up and weave along,
With patience strong
In love. five can take
But some wee, eingle thread, for loves swee
sake,
And keep it beaten on the wheel
A trife longer; feel
The came thread in our hands to add unto, and
Hold until our own grow cold,
We may take heart, above the wheel, and spin
With weak hands, which begin
Where those left of, and going on
Grow strong
If we bend close to see
Just what the threads may be
Which filled the quiet hands,
Perhaps some strands
So golden, or 80 strong, may lie there STILL
That we our empty hands may fill;
And even yet
May smile though still our eyes be wet.
