Virtues of Hard Work,

And take off your coat early in the
fight, my son. Don't be afraid of hard
work. 1t can't hurt you. Ten o'clock
isn't too late to knock off. and o'clock
doesn't come so very early in the morn
ing, to young nan. 1t doesn't come
so early as 8, by tv,o hours. and yet how
often do you 60 TO bed at 8? Mop I'm
glad to hear you say it, because while 3
o'clock is very early hour at which to
rise, it is paradoxically very late one
at which to go to bed. In order to be
up with the lark in the morning, Tele-
machus, it isn't at all necessary to sit
up with him all night! But if you are
at work, the midnight oil won't hurt
you. 1t will do you good, because the
hard workers are long livers. You'll
never work yourself to death. my boy.
Now there's your sister; she is more
liable to overwork herself than any man
you ever knew. believe the ceaseless,
monotonous sound of old Euryclea's s
household duties and domestic cares, or
young Nausicaa's worry over the family
laundry would kill the oldest man in
America in week. 1t is true that
woman's work goes on forever, but then,
bless your soul, fair Hermisne, don't let
that worry you. You don't. go on for
ever to do it all. And you don't have
all of it to do, even where you live
Mans work goes on forever, too; and
Pm glad of it. But Pm not going to
stay here to do it all, and / shan't do any
more of my own while do stay, than I
am obliged to. Don't fret because
woman's work goes on forever. You
will have shirts to. make and socks to
darn for Neoptolemus not more than
fifty or sixty years anyhow. And as
for you, Telemachus, it isn't hard work
that destroys young men; it's the inter-
val that kills. It's the relaxation that
hurts. Some time you may wake in the
morning with the worst head upon you
that ever made you sigh for death. And
you weren't sitting up to work until 2
Il. M, either. You will know there isn't
line of Virgil or unit of mathemat-
les, or one stroke of honest hard work
In that headache that is going to throw
one more wasted day into your bright
young life. If you had burned the mid
night oil over the workbench, at the
forge or at the desk or at the lathe. it
would never have manufactured such a
headache as that. 1t might. and it
would send you to bed tired as shadow
OF death, but you would open your eyes
next morning on an honest world of
hope and sunshine and manly ambition,
without blush of shame in all its ra-
dance. You'll never work yourself to
death, my boy. The harder you work,
the less mischief and trouble you will
get into.-Burdette.

Art is Pitilsss.
By NARY d. BRINE.

Shall 1 tell you story of Bessie, dear little
girl know7
A story of "once on time," tho it wasn't so
long ago2
blue-eyed darling was Bessie, with CLEANS Of
the sun in her hair,
And you scarcely could count the dimples that
played in her cheeks SO fair.
Now Bessie's mother and father had only her
self to love,
And her presence was glad as the sunshine
that fell from the skies above.
There ne er was care or trouble that came 10
them any day
But wee little Bessy was ready to comfort the
worry away"
1t was only a poor little cottage that Bessie
could call her home,
But dearly she loved the meadows where daily
And it happened one day that she went there
with many sorrowful trace
OF tears and childish amazement all over the
dear little face.
The reason? Ah only that morning old Brin-
die, the COW had died.
And no money y. 70 orsG buy another and Bessie's
And Bessie had heard her father sigh, and, oh,
weariy say
Something about "the bills, wife, and little
wherewith TO pay"
80 out in the fields went Bessie, but left her
dimples behind,
And guess that even the brides knew some
thing was on her mind,
For she quietly gathered her flowers, nor even
lifted her eyes
Till a voice said, ,"Heigh-ho little maidenw and
made her start with surprise
Twas only an artist searching the fields and
meadows that day
For some beautiful picture to sketch, and what
should come in his way
But the sweetest of all sweet subjects, q wee
little brown-faced girl,
Her sun-bonnet hiding her blushes and many .

But Bessie was shy Of the stranger-shy and
modest was she;
Coaxing would not persuade her. "Tll give
you money" said he.
Ahi then indeed she was willing and thought
to herself, ''Oh, now
I've found how to comfort poor mother, and
father cen buy COW"
So down to the brook she went to him, her
cheeks as red as rose,
And, all the while thinking of father" Bessie
learned how to pose"
Oh. but 1t was wearisome dutyi The little
round limbs grew weak,
And a tear from the blue eyes slipped softly
and washed the rose from her cheek.
Yes, art is pitiless;' surely. for thirty long
Aud then the Artist had finished and looked
with smile in his eye
At his poor little tear-stained model. "Wby,
child, are you tired?' said he.
I'm tired jus for myself, sir, but not for faith
err said she.
Then home sped dear, ,.bonny Bessie. clasping
her pennies 80 tight,
And back to her cheeks came the dimples,
back to her eyes their glad light
''Oh, father I'm put in q pictured See what I've

Habits OF Russian Women,

On the boulevards every one knows
every one else; and owing partly to the
free and easy style of Russian society,
the custom of addressing men and wo-
men by their Christian names, and chief
ly to the narrow limits of the little world
in which all life is here confined, the
scene on the boulevards is rather that
OF huge family party in their own
garden than of the public promenade of
large town. Every one is smoking.

ment of foreigner, on seeing we'll
dressed woman. apparently a lady, and
certainly a stranger to him, bowling to
him asking to be allowed to light her
cigarette from the hot ashes of his, may
be imagined, but there Is nothing outrc
in such an action here.
In the meantime the equipages of the
wealthy Russians are whirling through
the streets. Let US take a glance at the
people on wheels. These are for the
most part wives and daughters of the Of
ficers from the fortress, or the wealthiest
of the merchants. The wheels all roll
beneath one pattern of carriage. the fa-
miliar droshky, enlarged and beautified
with paint and fur wrappings beyond
the standard of that of the local cab
driver, but still to all intents and pur-
poses the same vehicle. Two ladies can
lean back in the Victoria-shaped body
of the carriage facing the horses, and
opposite sits a cavalier, his long legs
Strengthened and confined beneath the
narrowest and most uncomfortable of
seats. On the box sits the driver in
black velvet waistcoat, with skirt like
a toga and holes instead of arms through
which the full pink sleeves of his shirt
appear. Round his waist is gaudy
sash, and on his head the square cap of
Poland. His team, or ''troika," is
driven three abreast, at canter, the
head of the shaft horse looking straight
in front of him, the heads of the other
two looking perpetually back at their
tails.

Stupidity in the Post Office Depar,

Stupidity in the Post Office Depart

characteristic Of this country, the Cam

London World
Next to the actual character of the
settlement which is to be carried out in
Egypt, the cost of the war is the ques-
ton in which the country is most inter-
ested. A good deal of exaggeiation is
prevalent on this point, and sums rang
ing from ten to twenty millions have
been mentioned as likely to be the cost
of the campaign. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say that this short war is not
likely to entail so large burden on the
country.
When the vote of credit for f2, ,3O0,-
900 was taken, the government based
their calculation on the belief that the
war would be over by the 18th of Sep
tember. This expectation was fulfilled
almost to the day; but, as usual, the
original estimate has turned out to be
entirely inadequate. l believe that the
expenditure connected with the war
will DO between f4,00O,000 and f5,-
100000; and If it should not exceed
the higher figure the country will not
have much cause to complain. This is,
of course, exclusive of the cost
of the Indian contingent, which
will be over f2,000,000, and part ol
which will almost certainly have TO BE-
borne by this country.

uuihs companion,
A couple of years ago young mar
ricd lady in Colchester, England, acci-
dcntally happened TO be belated in the
streets at night. She was startled and
shocked at the number of young girls
she saw there, whom she knew to be
innocent, but who were idly sauntering
along the sidewalks or crowding into
music halls, in full view of every kind
Of vice and immortality. They were the
workers in shops, warehouses and
mills, seamstrGsscs and domestic SER
wants.
This lady, though young and gay,
did not allow her sympathy TO pass in
u sigh of pity. She started Il reading
room for girls, supplied with entertain
ing books, papers, games, and, more
than all, piano and parlor organ.
Aitcrward 4 cheap refreshment room
was attached, in which girls and wo-
men could buy good cup of coffee and
tea, bread and butter, and even chop
at cost price.
This drew many half-starved crca-
lures from the gin-palacc, where they
had been in the habit of buying food,
drink, forgetfuncss and temporary de-
light, all in one, in glass Of whisky or
rum.
The idea spread, as every new eX-
preston of charity or goodwill does
spread among well-to-do Christian
people. 1t now extends rs an organi-
hation through many of the towns in
England, and includes secular, bible
and scwing-classcS, clothing and sick
clubs; penny savings-banks; temper
ancc societies; libraries, reading rooms,
lodgings, and even homes. They are
for the benefit of all classes of women
in field or town work.
In Philadelphia last winter n wo-
mans club started night classes in
arithmetic, history, literature and book
keeping for Shop-womcn, taught gratu-
itously by the ladies themselves The
classes were crowded with eager and
Jealous pupils.
There are many thousands of women
dragging wearily through the work
day routine of daily life to whom such
Il glimpse of knowledge, or of pleasant
moral and social influences, would be
a forctastc of heaven, and there are al
most as many idle, wealthy, educated
women, who find life u burden from
lack of employment.
Where is the hidden link to bring
them togetherP

1t is touching sight to see woman
begin to make up her expenses, hay
ing firmly resolved to put down every
cent she spends, so as TO find out how
to economizc, and where all the money
goes. Procuring Il small book she
makes due entry, and on Monday af-
ter the first Saturday in which her hus-
band brings home his pay, she careful
ly tears the margin of a newspaper
and, with blunt pencil, strikes trial
balance something in this way:
"John brought me home SlS.iO, and
81 .43 had is 1893, and Sl.O9 | lent
Mrs. Dixon is Sj0.03-but hold on, |
ought not to enter that, because when
she returns it, it'll 90 down. That was
1898, and what have | done with
thatp
Then she puts down the figures,
leaving out the items TO save time n
process which enables her TO leave out
most of the items to where round
sum is involved, on the supposition
that they have already been put down.
As thus:
"Six dollars and fourteen cents for
meat, and 10 cents for celery, and ten
cents on the strect-cars, and bad five
cent piece got in exchange, and S2.Sl
| paid the milkman-who owes me 10
ccnts-and 10 cents at church, and the
grOcerics-thcy We're either Sl5.6O or
$3.50, and | don't remember which
they were, but | guess it must have
been Slj.G0, for the grocer said that if
| would give him adime he would give
me half Il dollar, which would make
even change, and | couldn't because
the smallest had was a quarter-and
S2.7j for mendinG iatie's shoes, which
is the last money that shoemaker ever
gets from me, and 10 cents for celery
no, | put that down,
Finally she sums up her trial-balance
sheet, and finds that it fOots up SGi.2S,
which is about Sl5 more than she had
originally, She goes over the list sew
eral times, and checks it carefully, but
all the items are correct, and she is
Just about in despair when her good
angel hints that there may be n possible
mistake in the addition. Acting upon
the suggestion she foots up the column
and finds that the total is Si4.2s, and
according to the principles of the
arithmetic she ought to have Sj.6j.
Then she counts her cash several
times, the result varying from Sl.4 up
to Sl.97, but then she happily discoy-
ers that she has been mistaking -
gold piece for a cent, and remembers
that She gave the baby trade dollar
to cut its gums with. On the whole,
she has come within Sc cents of bal
ancc, and that, she says, is close enough,
and she enters one line of the account
book: "Dr,- by household expenses"
so much; and is very happy till she re-
just before going to bed, that
she has omitted S2,7j forher husbands
hat.
