GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
An English Edncation,

An English girl is expected to have
certain accomplishments which, after
marriage, give way to domestic duties
she expects to hve1for home, not for So
ciety. The moral atmosphere of the
English home education is superior to
that of American education in general.
Girls are less forward and more respect
full they grow into women more slowly
and rlpen better; they are physically
stronger, and therefore have simpler
tastes; and as to society, they do not
know what it means before st least the
age of seventeen or eighteen. American
girls have certain advantages, however,
which custom denies young English
women of good position; they are not
forced by an unwritten law to go into
society and play their part in it, while
the English girl has no choice. The
upper ten thousand must marry or
become "blue-stockings before the
world agrees to let them alone and it is
the ayowed duty Of an English mother
to give her girl the advantages of I" a
season In London.

Darby Tackles the Spanish Outrages.

"Maria, said Darby, as he laid down
the paper, it makes my blood boil to
read about the way the Spaniards insult
cur Government. Do you know that
they bang away at the American flag
whenever they choose, and do SO with
perfect impunity?"
"No, I don't know anything about it, "
replied his wife "let them shoot each
other if they want to-"
Let them shoot each other, eh
growled Darby. Let the goggle-eyed,
sahfron-colored, bandy-shanked Span
iards shoot into our ships on the high
seas Why, Maria, Tn surprised to
hear you utter such sentiments.
"Look here, John Darby" snapped
his wife, GIVE got too much work to do
to waste any time in watching what the
Spaniards or the Chinese are doing.
When I get through cleaning up this
house during the day, and Juggling you
up the stairs at night, l don't feel inter-
ested in the affairs of the nation-not
much"
"Maria," said Darby, as he wheeled
his chair around in disgust, "when |
cease to be patriotic I want to die. My
ancestors fought the battles of their
country, their blood dyed score Of
fields, and when it comes my time to
bleed for my country I'm ready to do it.
We've got to whip the Spaniards, and
I'm ready to help. The old war spirit
which distinguished our race is In me,
and it's bound to show itself"
ooh. yes. YOU are brave. John Darby;
you are fierce, untamed warrior.
When the burglars got into the house
last fall you got the Mysteries, and dur
ing the summer you tore your pants get
ting On fence, because a poor little dog
showed symptoms of madness. You are
too lazy to talk about fighting, and
should have sense enough to know that
you couldn't whip an old woman with
the palsy"
Darby buried his face behind the
paper and said nothing more about the
Spaniards.

Experience of a Fashionable Young
Woman in the Kitchen.

Miss Cicely Jones is just home from
boarding school and engaged to be mar
ried, and, as she knows nothing about
cooking or housework, is going to take a
few lessons in culinary art to fit her for
the new station In life which she is ex-
pected to adorn with housewifery grace
She certainly makes charming picture
as she stands in the kitchen door,
draped in chintz apron, prettily trimmed
with bows of ribbon, her bangs hidden
under a Dolly Warden cap, and her
dimpled white hands lncased In old kid
gloves, while she sways to and fro on
her dainty French kid heels, like some
graceful wind-blown flower.
"please introduce me to your assist
ant"
Whereupon mamma says: Bridget,
this is your young lady, Miss Cicely,
who wants to learn the name and use of
everything in the kitchen, and how to
make cocoanut rusks and angels food
before she goes to housekeeping for her
self"
Bridget gives a snort of disfayor, but.
as she looks at the young lady, relents
and says: "I'll throy."
"And now, Bridget DEAR" says Miss
Cicely, when they are alone, tell me
rything. You see, don't know any
thing except what they did at school,
and isn't this old kitchen lovely What
makes this kitchen such beautiful
bronze color, Bridget?"
'fShmoke. answered Bridget, shortly.
fiand me ould eyes are put out with that
same"
''Shmoke-I must remember that; and
Bridget. what are those shiny things on
the wall?"
'sKivers-tin kivers for the pots and
kittles."
'eKivers?-oh, yes. I must look for
the derivation Of that word Bridget,
what are those round things In that
basket"

How Cattle Are Shipped to England.

Cattle are taken on and under deck In
stalls measuring two feet eight inches
on vessels sailing from New York, and
two feet six inches on those from all
other ports of the United States. These
stalls are built under the supervision of
an Insurance Inspector. During the
summer shippers prefer to ship on deck,
as the cattle get more air and come out
fresher at the end of the voyage. On
deck the steamships carry between $50
and IT'S animals, the under deck about
225 head. Drinking water is condensed
by steam process on board for their use,
the ocean itself providing never-failing
source of supply. The cattle are gen.
orally put on the steamer in the stream,
after it has left the dock, an old ferry
boat usually being used for the purpose.
The number of cattle to be taken is
regulated by the Insurance Inspectors,
and cattle exporters must pay the en-
tire freight, according to his report,
even if they do not ship the entire num-
Der.
Sheep and pigs are slowed away in
stalls on deck where there is not enough
room for the cattle. Sometimes in the
early spring when the sea is liable to
disturbances, some Of the cattle get
overheard, and then very lively time
ensues in getting them out. The cattle
are hoisted on board usually and lowered,
two at time, by a winch, into the hold.
The allowance of water is from six to
ten gallons day to each bullock. The
amount Of fodder averages one ton to
each animal. The rates of insurance
apparently vary. Some shippers give
it at per cent. in summer to 10 per
cent. in winter. There is more risk to
the cattle from periIs of the sea in the
latter season, as heavy storm may
make it necessary to tighten the ship by
throwing the entire deckload of cattle
overheard. The carrying capacity of
the vessels, Of course, varies but the
average, as given by an old shipper,
may be put safely at 200 head at a ship
ment taking large and small vessels into
account. On some of the large steam
ers the number has reached 500, and one
Boston steamer has carried as many as
81 head. The largest shipment from
New York by one steamer was $50 head.

called, and was addressed as " Judge, !"
little Tommy shook his head, and said !:
"You amt no Judge. Can't fool me. 7"
"Why am no Judge?"

Pacific Roads Oppression

Chicago, 20.-New York special: At
tention has lately been directed by the
Maritime Register to another abuse of
power by the Pacific Railroad companies.
Some years ago, it will be rememb ereS,
the companies crushed the competition
of the Pacific mail steamers, snd the
Panama route by discriminating sgainst
merchants who patronize them. The
practice was to give heavy rebates 10
shippers who should send all classes of
goods by rail, but to charge exorbibapt
freights on those who attempted to serd
only costly and perishable goods in that
manner, and use the other line for bulky
articles. The plan which worked so sue
cessfully In the case of the Panama route
has now been applied to sailing vessels
that go around Cape Horn. Merchants
IN Ban Francisco that avail themselves
OF these means transportation, find it
Impossible to obtain any concessions,
from the railroad companies, while rivals
in business who pstronize the land route
exclusively, are favored regularly with
enormous rebates on all classes ofship-
ments. This abuse of power is Of piece
with that pointed out by Congressman
Doggett, of Nevada, who showed in his
speech to Congress last fall that the regu-
lar tariff to inland points is made up by
adding the through rates to San Fran
cisco to local rates from San Francisco,
Dack 10 way stations. Congress has power
70 remedy these impudent exactions, and
no action could meet with SO much favor
among the people as the shaking Of a
little sense into the managers of corpora
lions which were founded through
nouonal bounty, and are fast becoming
mere instruments of public oppression
and private greed.
