a messenger by mail train from Dublin with
bag of writs to be delivered at police stations
in Westmeath, Galway, Roscommon and Mayo.

The new move OF Bismarck in the
direction of Holland is creating excitement in
Europe. The movement is new but the pr,r-
pose is old. 1t has long been an open sacrat
that Germany has desired to incorporate Hol>
land in order that she may have reader access
to the sea, and has been waiting for pretext
for action. That pretext appears to have
come in the rejection of, or rather the failure
to consider, Bismarck's demands respecting
the navigation of the Rhine and the protection
of German fishing interests. That there is
something more than ordinary GOODNESS be-
tween the two countries is evident by Bismarcks
order to the German representative at The
Hague to demand his credentials and come
home, and his dispatch of another representa-
tive having more ability and determination in
presenting his demands. Out of this appar-

Invented hY a Woman.

It may not be generally known that
the 'tsqueezer known also as the
"coffee mill squeezer and used in all
our pudding mills, is the invention Of a
woman. Some twenty years ago, ac
cording to a veteran iron-worker, the
only form of squeezer was the alliga-
tor squeezer," which slowly and labori-
ously reduced the ball into bloom, in
volving the use of tremendous amount
OF muscular labor. The wife Of pud-
dler. whose trips to the mill with her
husbands dinner had familiarized her
with the workings of the alligator, !"
went home and pondered over the thing.
When the other half came home she
was grinding coffee, and asked her hus-
band if the motion Of this homely ma
chine couldn't be adopted in squeezing
muck balls. The answer is not recorded
out it is stated on very good authority
that shortly after this conversation the
sscoffee mill squeezer superseded the
salligator here and elsewhere. - Pitts

How Women Look at Domestic Work.

How women LOOK at D0meSClC WOrks
There is very little difficulty in getting
gardeners and even tolerable grooms and
coachmen, and none whatever in getting
clerks and statesmen and errand boys.
We men regard work as honorable but
women conspire together to stigmatize
oil domestic work as a sort of disgrace.
If they engage in such work at alIy it is
secretly, and they are Inundated if they
are caught at It, and they do not allow
their daughters to do it if they can help
themselves and then they wonder it is
SO hard to find good cooks and house
maids. Pride, madam, is the great in
centive to work. The men enlist 1t on
their side you women enlist it against
yours and then you wonder that your
servants take no pride in their work. 1t
seems to me one of the incidental dis
advantages of what people call the
higher education for women, " that it
tends to increase this feeling. A young
girl goes to a boarding-school- beg
pardon, to female college-for three or
four years. During all that time she is
waited on by servants. They cook her
meals, they wait on her at the table,
they make her bed, they sweep her
room, and when she goes home, she has
a dress maker to do her sewing and all
this time she is learning to look down
upon the common work of housekeeping
as a mental kind of drudgery. When
at last she is married and begins life
for herself, she has to unlearn consid-
cradle part of her four years course,
unless her husband can afford to provide
her with servants to do all the house
work, and even then she needs to
anlearn her habit of thought and feeling
about it, III order to inspire her servants
with the pride which is essential to sue
cess in any toll. For this reason, I
should like to see every public school
adopt the fashion of Wellesley and
South Hadley, and give their pupils
some part of their own work to do.
Perhaps they would learn trife less Of
Latin, Greek, and the higher mathe-
mates, but this loss would be more than
compensated for. if they acquire the
characteristics of Lemuel's virtuous
woman, who stworketh willingly with
her hands. "-Laicus, in Christian

Boys, Go Home.

All, boysl you who have gone out
from the homesteads into the rush
and hustle of life, do you ever think
of the patient mothers who are
stretching out TO you arms that are
powerless to draw you back TO the
old home nest? Arms that were
strong to carry you once, pressed to
hearts that love you now as then.
No matter, though your hair Is
silver-streaked, and Dot In the
cradle calls you grandpa, you are
"the boy" so long as mother lives.
You are the children of the old
home. Nothing can crowd you out
of your mothers heart. You may
have failed in the battle of lite, and
your manhood may have been
crushed out against the wall Of cir
cumstances you may have been
prosperous, gained wealth and
fame; but mothers love has follow
ed you always. Many a "boyn has
not been home for five or ten or
twenty years. And all this time
mother has been waiting. All,
who does not know the agony ex-
pressed by that word? She may
be even now saying, 81 dreamed of
my John last night. May be he
will come to-day. He may drop in
for dinner" and the poor, trem-
bling hands prepare some fayorite
dish for him. Dinner comes and
goes, but john comes not with 1t.
Thus, day after day, month after
month, year after year, passes, till
at last, "hope deferred maketh the
heart SICK" aye, sick unto death;
the feeble arms are stretched out no
longer. The dim eyes are closed,
the gray hairs smOothed for the last
tin Q, and the tired hands arc folded
for everlasting rest, and the mother
waits no more on each for one who
comes not. God grant that she
may not, in vain, wait for his COM
ing in the heavenly home. Once
more / say unto you boys, go home,
If only for a day. Let mother know
you have not forgotten her. Her
days may be numbered. Next
winter may cover her grave with
snow.

Around the edge of the pointed

Roman pearl beads, giving a char

net, in the "Corday" shape, is made
of violet velvet, faced with mauve-
tinted satin, and trimmed with
white lace and mingled white and
mauve feather tips, held by large
jeweled clasp. Equally Handsome
is a bonnet made of mOss-green
plush, lined inside with cardinal,

dark green feather wreath, into
which is set a smaller wreath of
wintergreen berries and their dark
satin-like green leaves.
