Every good, indeed. We've got a

poor girl without money. We have a

But these are exceptions
"of course nestmen want money /;
lots of money"
"And the women?"
"They are not so particular about it !:
they are generally more anxious about
getting married than about the money.
Money or no money, they all want to get
husbands. .
"Does the prevailing taste among
the men run toward the brunettes OF

Brunettes; / should say, decidedly.

The Dressmaker's Place.

There is the dressmaker who leads
one into extravagances which at the
time appear absolute necessities, but
which have the advantage, at least, of
resulting in " things of beauty :" and
there is her opposite, in whose hands
one becomes an economist, and learns
the secret of making q gown out of
scraps there is the slattern who never
finishes off her seams, whose dresses
hang by thread, to speak, but whose
disposition is obliging and there is her
sister workman, who knows everybody's
affairs, and tells them, who repeats the
make shifts of her last customer, and
who, you are confident, will carry a
strict account of your own shortcomings
to her next. Perhaps it is no wonder
that, living in such an atmosphere of
fashion and frivolity, the dressmaker
sometimes becomes possessed with an
extravaganza idea of the Importance of
fine clothing, especially when she knows
that the subject holds such prominent
place in the minds and conversation of
people who ought to be devoted to more
ambitious things, who are not obliged to
earn their daily bread by concentrating
their thoughts upon it: people who can
dismiss the matter from their minds. or
delegate it to another at pleasure. I'm
less she takes special care to develop
herself in other directions in her hours
Of recreation, she endangers the vitality
of her intellectual life. Because she is
a dressmaker shall she not speak the
shibboleth of the cultured woman
Shall nothing but frills and furbelows
be expected of her? Shall she not
think of other sciences than those of
shirring and plating and stitching?-

Pauperism in England.

me to describe pauperism and poor-re

and cost, would say to him, picture to
yourself country in area only 1,0O0.-
600 acres larger than your own State,
butcontaining apopulation eight timesas
large this population distributed un-
equally, Is per cent. of it to be found in
one city, and nearly 100000 Tor half
the population of England alone) living
in London and the four great manufact-
uring counties of Lancashire, Yorkshire.
Staffordshire and W.Irwickshire /; where
212 persons reside in cities and towns to
every 100 residing in the rural districts,
Or two to one; where frequently 1,000,-
600 of the population are put down in
the blue books as paupers. Instead of
this territory being divided into 102
counties as Illinois is, the inquirer must
imagine it parceled out into CAT unions,
which vary in area from so to $50 square
miles. In each of these unions may be
found work-house, varying in its a..
commodations from St. Pancras, which
accommodates nearly 1000, and Liver
pool 5000, and Birmingham 2,00), to
those in such unions as Rothbury and
Dulverton, which each have capacity
of about fifty pauper-power. It
would be as difficult to give a
correct notion of the style and
size of these buildings as to
picture the variegated surface of the
globe. Some are said to be lofty, some
low, but all are massive. Some (for in
stance, the one at Birmingham or that
at LIVERPOOL might be called an elegant
retreat, while others would look beside
it like a group of wheelbarrows round
the Lord Mayors coach-lost in the
splendor of the gilded spectacle. To
add up the aggregate capacities of those
work houses makes one believe that they
were expected to contain half the popu-
lation of the country. But as a matter
of fact (the large towns excepted) they
do not contain in many cases half, in
some not quarter of the inmates for
which they were built, SO that the waste
in keeping up large, untitled establish
ments, each with an expensive staff of
officers, is very great indeed. To COM
plete our picture, we must add an army
of nearly 1000 paid officials constantly
engaged in one branch or another of the
poor law administration, and whose ag-
gregate salaries and rations came last
year to over S., 100000, while the total
maintenance OF indoor paupers was only
about So, 100000. The total annual cost
of pauperism and outdoor relief in Great
Britain and ireland is, in round figures,
nearly $50, 900, 600. Robert p. Porter,

: I want to find a rich wife,"

WdAU W uuu IlCI WIFE,
This was the Introductory remark of
New York reporter to an old gentle
man who presides over a newly estab--
lished matrimonial bureau in that city.
The matrimonial high functionary was a
German with brown wig, little tuft
of gray hair plastered over his bald fore
head, innocent baby blue eyes, glowing
red cheeks and a white, thick mus
tache, with imperial of equally snowy
color. Happy as he looked, it was not
matrimony, he confessed, that made him

The old gentleman was very honest
about it.

he, speaking with a funny German
brogue, sis too much money. We
haven't got any of that sort. You'd
better come down in your ideas little
bit"
whats the very best you can do?"
We'll, we have an old German widow
who says she is worth $50, 1000, but she
is awful cross and ugly. I'm afraid you
wouldn't like her."
Never mind about that. Has she
really got S50.000?"
This conversation took place in the
rear apartment of barely furnished,
empty-looking first floor in a side
street, between the Bowery and Broad
way.

"Does this business pay?"
"In Europe, splendidly. There are
fifty bureaus of this character in Berlin.
In London the principal firm in the
business has made 9l00, 900 out of it. !"

Boy Inventors.

Some Of the most important inventions
have been the work of boys. The in
vention of the valve motion to the steam
engine was made by mere boy. New
comes engine was in a very incomplete
condition from the fact that there was
no way to open or close the valves except
by means of levers operated by the hand.
He set up a large engine at one of the
mines, and boy, Humphrey Potter, was
hired to work these valve-levers. AL
though this was not hard work yet it re-
CURED his CONSTANT attention. As he
was working the levers he saw that parts
of the engine moved in the right direc-
ton, and at the same time he had to
open or close the valves. He procured
strong cord and made one end fast to
the proper part of the engine. and the
other end to the valve lever, and the boy
then had the satisfaction of seeing the
engine move with perfect regularity of
motion. A short time after the foreman
came around and saw.the boy playing
marbles at the door. Looking at the
engine he saw the ingenuity of the boy,
and also the advantage Of SO great an in
vention. The idea suggested by the
boys inventive genius was put in a prac-
tical FORM and made the steam engine an
automatic working machine.
The power-loom is the invention of a
farmers boy who had never seen or
heard of such thing. He whitfield one
out with his jack knife, and, when he had
got it all done, he with great enthusiasm
showed it to his father, who at once
kicked it all to pieces, saying he would
have no boy ab,ut him who would spend
his time on such foolish things. The
boy was sent to a blacksmith to learn a
trade, and his master took a lively interest
in him. He made loom of what was
left of the one his father had broken ND
and showed it to his master. The black
smith saw he had no common boy as an
apprentice, and that the invention was a
valuable one. He had loom con-
structed under the supervision of the
boy, 1t worked to their perfect satisfac-
ton, and the blacksmith furnished the
means to manufacture the looms, and
the boy received half the profits. In
about year the blacksmith wrote to the
boys father that he should bring with
him wealthy gentleman who was the
inventor of the celebrated power loom.
You may be able to Judge of the aston
ishment at the old home when his son
was presented to him as the inventor,
who told him that the loom was the
same as the model that he had kicked to
pieces but year ago. Western Trade.

No Unmarried women Admitted.

AS a special treat, ladies well ac-
quainted with the President, when
making a special call upon him, are sent
by Inn with messenger through the
private rooms up stairs, with the priv
ilege of viewing his own bed-chamber,
including all its dainty blue satin furni-
ture and innumerable tasteful souvenirs
with expressive notices with which it is
adorned. But usually no unmarried
woman is allowed to enter his room,
even when chaperoned by married
lady. One of the latter speaks of taking
her sister, stranger, with her there,
and being asked by the President if they
would like to go through the upper
rooms, including his own, and he then
added quickly, Il presume, of course,
your sister is married" AS she was,
they were passed on. - Louisville

That recreates from yesterday
The new ideas Of to-day

To dimly touch, much less define
Its purpose-for it is divine.
Its possibilities, in grace,
Ennobhng, guiding ali the race.
