SUNDAY WORK.

e Is related of 9 certain large paper
manufacturer that his discovery of max
ing continuous cardboard or paper was
revealed thus: The representative of a
rival house. knowing that the hands of
the firm making the continuous card
board occasionally worked on Sunday in
the very busy time, dressed himself up
in clerical fashion and took lodging
near the mill. Getting into converse
ton with some of the men, he reproved
them for their wickedness, wormed his
way into their confidence, and obtained
q peep at the kind Of employment that
was thus jeopardizing their souls, albeit
it might be increasing their store of this
worlds wealth. The remainder need
net be told. The process was not pat
ented, and SO it soon became the prop
erty Of the religious advsnturer.

CHILDREN'S DRESS.

No child is prettier for an elaborate
design Of dress. A single rufHe at the
edge Of the skirt does very well, but it
is quite as well without it. And to cut
up the tiny space of child's dress with
loopings and trimmings and ornaments
seems to us to make them look like
monkeys. Not even the sash is beauti-
full for child. A child is constructed
first Of all to eat that it may grow, to re-
ceive impressions that it may learn
therefore be head and the stomach are
large in proportion to the rest of the
body. When the little figure is nude, so
that the soft feshy forms can be well
seen, all this is beautiful !; but to en-
phasize in the draped form Of the
child the large stomach by broad
sash, is utterly against all rules of
beauty.
The legs and arms are often beautiful,
but to show the legs by cutting off the
dress at the hips is immensely awkward,
and seems chiefly to serve to display the
drawers, which are not beautiful gar
ment, and should be entirely hidden.
Beside this, in winter our climate is
wholly inappropriate for any such ex-
posure, and we shall best see the beauty
of healthy child in its easy, untram
meled motion as it moves about in a
simple dress (of as handsome material
as you like, provided that it is I'M
trimmed), which is long enough to be
warm and loose enough to be comfort
able. If you want your children to be
graceful, let them be unconscious if
you want them to be healthy, let them
be sufficiently warm. No woman can
have a fine complexion who as child
has been habitually chilled, and we see
in the winter many children, who seem
to have nothing on from the waist
down. They could much better afford
to put it the other way, and wear moth
ing from the waist up, tie lungs and
heart being at less expense to warm the
upper portion of the body than the
legs, which are further away from them.

ELECTRICITY IND SALTED HE6-

Had any scientific enthusiast Of the
last generation announced his belief that
the progress of electrical science would
directly affect the supply of behring's to
those inland Catholic countries where
they are-when salted-in such demand
for food on fast days, his friends would
have been anxious concerning his cere-
bral welfare. As matter of fact. this
Is now the case. The Norwegian coast
is'girdled by 1900 miles of herring tel
egraph wire, and telegraph stations are
established on the barren rocks Ct the
Lofodden islands, and in the hollows be-
tween the dark precipitous cliffs that
form the Arctic face of Europe. Here.
among the screaming sea-birds, a watch
is kept of the movement of herring
shoals, and particulars concerning their
progress. are flashed to the little SETTLE
ment OF hardy Norseman who live by
the harvest of the Arctic and sub-Arctio
ocean. According to such intelligence
they make their preparations for secur-
ing some of the merchandise that thew
send SO largely to the countries on the

THEATRICAL AUDIENCES.

John Mccullough, in an interview
with reporter of the Cleveland Herald,
discoufsed as follows abont the audi
ences he meets: "There is very gen.
eral impression, you know, that West
ern audiences are the most enthusiastic.
That is a mistake. They are not. A
Western audience is very reserved au-
dience. They are chary of applause
far more so than in New York or Bos-
ton. Those are the two cities where au-
diences are the most enthusiastic.
eff they like you, if they think your
playing is good, enough to be noticed at
all, they are far more enthusiastic than
an audience in the Western part Of the
country or in the interior. Southern
audiences are very respectful and good
listeners, but not at all enthusiastic-I
mean in the matter of applause in the
theater. There are certain actions which
arouse them into demonstrative applause
for instance, last night, at the end of
the arena scene, you saw the enthusi-
asm but it is an exciting scene itself
the curtain coming down on the tableau,
and all that. Where an actor becomes
favorite, and is acknowledged as such,
of course they take friendly and per-
sonal interest in him, and applaud him.
But the general disposition of interior
audiences is to be reflective, and to think
that they are not to be imposed upon by
the recommendation Of larger cities.

violation of decency, but which might
easily have been penned by a clever

IN UNFORTUNATE sutton.

In the early days of Indiana, one Of
the State Senators was good-natured
giant, named George Boone. When he
,stood up, his height attracted attention,
for he measured nearly seven feet. II
he made a gesture, his hands were no
ticed as the largest ever seen. But it
was his feet that amazed his colleagues.
One day, when joked on his big hands
and feet, he told story Of an early ex-
perience which brother Senator, in his
"Sketches Of Early Indiana, -" reports as
follows:
When about IS, young Boone thought
he would call on a neighbor who lived a
few miles off, Sally, the neighbours
daughter, was large and pretty, and the
youthful giant thought she would make
him suitable wife.
It was late in the fall, though too
early to put Oh shoes, SO he started bare
foot. His best buttesnut-colored suit
had been made some six months before,
and was much too small for him. The
pantaloons reached only just below his
knees, while the coat stretched as tight
over his body as an eel-skin dried on a
hoop-pole.
After wading creeks and muddy bot
toms, the would-be "sparker arrived
at the neighbours log hut just as the
family were sitting down to the supper
Of mush and milk. Being invited to
"draw up" he sat down alongside of
Sally. The old lady offered him large
bowl, which he stretched forth his hand
to take. MOI making sufficient allow
ance fer the size of his hand, he struck
the big milk pitcher. Out went the
milk over the table. and out went Sally
from the room, roaring with laughter.
The old lady kindly remarked, cit
will rub out when it dries;" but the
youth knew he was already rubbed out,
SO far as Sally was concerned. He saw
nothing more of her. The clock struck

"Here's an iron pot; it is the only
thing I have thatN do"
The pot proved too small for his feet
to enter, except by sliding them in side
ways. When in, they swelled 80 much
that he could not get them out. The
pain was intense. As the clock struck

nv rmpHAr1o WITNESS.

Alick Thompson, of Virginia, tells
story illustrative of the peculiar vernac-
ular of the people among whom ne was
born, and of their special capacity ZOE
giving evidence in court OF justice In q
compact, accurate and picturesque style.
Some time ago he CHANGED to be visiting
a county seat in Virginia. and was
courteously invited by the common
wealth's attorney to come into the court
room on the following morning, with
assurance that witness would testify
in murder case then pending. He en-
tered the court room, and speedily after
his arrival a witness was called, who adj
ysnced to the stand with such jaunty
air of self-assurance, and who kissed the
book with such loud-sounding conf
dence, that he was sure this must be
"his man." His Judgment was not in
correct.
"Mr. Williamson" asked the com
monwealth's attorney, edo you know
anything Of the killing which took place
at Robertson's store last month "
"Know anything!" was the response;
at were thar"
"Then tell the court and jury said
the attorney, "what you know"
The witness planted himself more
firmly on both feet, glanced around upon
his auditors, and thus delivered him
self:
"well, you see, Mr.. Robertson were

up prices in his business; that he did
not cause the death Of people, and was
under no obligation to bury them. Said,
though, that he would bury all he killed.
He further explained that there was no
overwhelming necessity OF man to have
coffin, or even to be buried, as to that
matter that no man would make any
complaint if not buried. Such argu-
ments did not satisfy the people. None
of them were needing collins either.
Old man Eli Stone was taken sick be-
fore the undertakers had compromised
matters, and was not keeping abreast
with the coffin war. He was known to
be the most contrary man in Nevada.
He was old and failing rapidly. The
doctors told him to make whatever prep
arations he desired, as the end was not
far off. A lawyer, being called in, was
writing the old mans Will. The dying
mans words we're scarcely audible, and
he would have to cease speaking, at
short intervals, to get his feeting breath.
He could hear good. AS the writing of
the will progressed, he overheard some
of his friends in an adjoining room talk
ing about the monopoly in collins the
unheard-of charges. He told the law
yer to stop right where he had got.
Said he was not going to die. He didn't.
The feeling Of hostility toward Hotch-
kiss increased. There were mutterings
for day or two. Finally mob gath
cred in front of his establishment. The
men composing the mob did not appear
to be suffering for collins either. They
were hea!thy-looking, and some of them
would weigh 200 pounds. One Dutch
mamie was very bad-would have
weighed 400 pounds. No one ever

at first proposed to burn the building
and contents. This was objected to, as
it would leave the town without collins,
and. consequently, without inducements
to the citizens to die. Then one infuri-
ated little man shouted

"I don't want to use one," said an
other.
"Durned T do" exclaimed third.
"Me, nuther," chimed inaman dressed
in buckskin,
And enc nuther" seemed to be the
general feeling.
At last, Hotchkiss, speaking through
an auger-hole, agreed to a compromise.
He was to reduce prices for poor peo-
pie, and, where whole family died, to
allow them excursion rates.
Old Eli Stone got well. It was
thought he would put up an opposition
undertaker's shop, to punish Hotchkiss
for his meanness. No. He presented
Hotchkiss a 5000 gold watch, inscribed

HER SYSTEM.

There lived, III days not very long gone by
I could not tell you where, if should try
A lady, who was worthy, kind and good
And all domestic arts well understood;
Her cooking, always tempting to the taste,
She took great pride in doing, free from waste;
She'd set dinner fit for any King,
From ham and eggs, or some such simple thing;
She had way, peculiarly her own,
OF always doing well whate'er she done;
She took great pride il always being neat,
AS well as spreading toothsome viands to eat.
Her favorite hobby, all through life, had been
To keep her house shining apin.
"a very model she at length termed,
And al her ways were patterned, taught and
learned
"a place for everything" she'd say with grace,
"And everything exactly in its place"
But all in vain her systematic plan,
Since she was welded to a careless man;
He'd tell his wife, with blandly smiling face,
That he for everything had special place,
The only trouble being, that he forgot
And ne'er again could recoliect the spot.
He'd scatter helter-hkel;er, here and there,
And leave his traps lying everywhere.
At length she hit upon happy plan
By which she thought to a careless man;
She kept bag of most capacious size,
Hung in certain spot, hid from his eyes,
And in it dropped his little odds and ends,
AS he would toss them TO the careless winds,
And thought, forsooth, OF some convenient time,
She'd empty out, and shame him Of his crime.
But he, more cunning than she'd ever thought,
Had watched the woman well, till he found out
Where she as stealthily as any cat
Had carried off and hidden this or that.
Aha!" said he, " this system suits me wel
I'll not be bothered any more to tell
Where anything may be chance to quest,
For here find my ladys hidden nest ~
And any article he CHANGED 10 lack,
He'd go and gobble it from out the sack.

Was, being left with just the bag to hold.

MISTAKEN.

One of the most eloquent members OF
the United States Senate, in the days
when Clay and Webster were its leaders,
was William G. Preston, Of South Caro-
lima. He was so little given to dandyism
that even his warmest admirers occasion
ally wished that he would follow the spirit
OF Polonius' advice, and let his apparel
proclaim the man." An amusing adven-
ture happened to him once, in conse-
quence of his unsenatorial appearance.
He was mistaken for a gambler. He
was on board a Mississippi steamer,
which then permitted gambling in its
cabin, as freely as it did whisky drinking.
This freedom induced many gamblers to
travel up and down the river. Not in
frequently steamers cabin was turned
into gambling "hell," and scores Of
greenhorns were feeced. The gamblers
generally played the game Of faro, the
implements of which they carried in a
small mahogany box. AS they bet
against all who played they were called
bankers" and their money the "bank. :"
Senator Preston was standing on the
steamers deck and holding small ma
hogany box. Suddenly a man, ornately
dressed, approached him, and whis-
pered:
II say, old teller, when are you going
to begin?"
"Begin what, sir? asked the aston
ished Senator.
"Pshaw! none of that CANNON with
me! A few of us boys are on board, and
we want little fun. We won't pile it
on too strong, SO come along and open
at once"
Really, sir, I don't understand you.
Open what?"
"Open what? Why, the bank, of
course. Maybe you think our pile isn't
large enough to make it an object. But
we are not so poor as you may suppose. :"
The Senator was at loss to under
stand what was meant, and his counte-
nance expressed his perplexity. After
considerable pause, the stranger con-
tinued:
Perhaps you viii say that you're not
a sporting man.
81 am certainly nothing of the kind, :"
replied the now-angry Senator "and I
can't imagine what put such an idea into
your head.
"Not sporting man? If you're
not, why do you carry the tools about
with you?" and the man pointed to the
mahogany box.
The light which broke into the Sena-
tors mind caused him to laugh heartily.
"Ah, yes? very natural mistake, In
deed-very natural" he exclaimed.
"I'l show you the contents of my ma
hogany box"
Opening it, he displayed the contents
of a dressing case-razors, brushes,
combs, soap and other toilet articles.
The man looked at the box, and then
sharply at the Senator, and said: 'I took
you for a sporting gentleman, but I see
you're nothing but barber. If I'd
known it, I wouldn't spoke to you'll" and
he moved of, looking as if he had been
