more, elsher, evadlpg all conversation that
tended in this direction.
The reporter then tackled Washington,
but with do better success. The latter
maintained the same philosophical indif-
ference to the end, and judging from the
perfect unconcern with which he read his
apsr and pulled away at his ciga,
one would havs supposed that he was
going on pleasure excursion, instead of
it being the last ride he was to take in his
life.
In reply to inquiries he said that he
supposed they all ought to be.
The train reached Saltwater about 9
O'Clock. when the prisoners were
put into a hack and driv-
en- to the penitentiary, the
living grave in which tney are to be en-
tombed until the last dread summons shall
call them to their final accounts.
On reaching the penitentiary the party
were met by Wardens Reed and Hall
who took the customary descriptions
of the prisoners and relieved them of what
little cash they had. They were then es-
corted to the prison proper, where they
were ordered to undress and suits of striped
clothing were laid out for them.
They disrobed like men to the manner
born, and as Washington laid aside the
suit of cheap citizens clothes, which he
will in all probability have no further use
for in this world, his good natured face
beamed with emile.
The business with Underhill was more
serious. He went about the work with an
air of esrnes.ness which signifed that he
was fully aware of the Importance of the
change which was to last all through a
weary, gloomy life in prison
and which was to be a constant reminder
of the crime he was forced to expiate.
Warden Hall stated that they would be

The Education Of Girls.

A little paper called Girl Life, just
started in New York City, contains in
its initial number an interesting letter
from Miss Louisa M. Alcott in which,
after expressing approval of the object
of the paper, she says: Il can only hope
that with the new and freer ideas now
coming up some of the good old ways
may also be restored. The respect
shown to the aged, modest women,
simple dress, housekeeping daughters
learning from good mothers the domes-
tic arts so much better than the too
early frivolity and freedom so many
girls enjoy now. The little daughter
sent me by my dying sister has given
me a renewed interest in the education
of girls and fresh anxiety concerning
the sort of society she is to enter by and
by. Health comes first and early
knowledge of truth, obedience and self
control Then such necessary lessons
as all must learn, and later such &C
complishments as taste and talent lead
her to desire. A profession or taste to
fall back upon in time of need, that
she may not be dependent or too proud
to work for her bread Experience is
the, best teacher, and with good health,
good principles, and good education
any girl can make her own way, and be
the Drawer and better for the exertion
and discipline. No late hours, unwhole-
some pleasures and dress, no mixing of
school and Irritation, but simple amuse-
ments, daily duties. and purpose in
life to keep them girls Mt heart even
while preparing for the work and hap
ness of women"

The Toilers of Our DIV,

Rather die than work. exclaimed a
tramp on the old Bergen road when the
old saying was recounted to him "WbY,
nobody likes work better than genuine
tramp. But. he is too Independent to
take anything that is offered him. He
doesn't care for manual labor, but he is
very fond of light intellectual employ
ment. / work. Look here and he
unstrapped little satchel from his
back, opened it, and showed a grayish
pasty substance, prepared in small
squares, which he said was used by all
the crowned heads of Europe to remove
grease spots from their garments and
make them look equal to new. The
farmers of West Jersey also bought
good deal of it.
ut is only ten cents a cake, added
the tramp insinuatingly, land dirt
cheap"
Where do you get itp" asked the re-
porter, examining it.
Il make it myself" was the proud
reply. ut is only chalk and water |
have to moisten it every day to prevent
its getting dry and powdering I sold
nine cakes to man mile back on the
road
He'll be astonished tomorrow morn
ing, when itgets dry and powders, :" sug-
gested the reporter.
If could sell one more cake" said
the tramp, taking no notice of the re-
mark, 81 should have earned dollar,
for it costs me nothing"
The reporter bought cake and
added:
docs it really remove grease spots?'
"Well, no, it does not" replied the
tramp candidly; ''but good many peo-
pie think it does. direct them to put
little of ii on the place they want
| cleaned, and then rub hard with a wet
nail brush. OF course, if the grease is
not too old, or has not penetrated too
far, the rubbing with the nail brush and
the water would have taken it off, or at
least reduced it; but they attribute it all
to the chalk. Then, even when the
grease spot is old, it disappears while il
is wet, and the people sometimes invite
me to dinner under the impression thai
it has gone altogether. l am quick a
my meals, and | am far enough away
before the garment is dry and the grease
visible; and yet they say tramps are

Where Bread is Cheap.

WuoT0 DIodu ID OuOdps
1t was sad, sad sight, in which wss
blended tears and laughter. On the
Santa Fe train was large family of Ger
mans There were fathers and mothers,
brothers and sisters, and a raft Of little
ones. Some were able to crawl up and
sit on a seat, others were still at the
breast. They were all bound for the Ne
osho Valley. ALI were tired, hungry,
and worn out from four weeks pas
sage They had left crowded Germany,
where they had been struggling for an
existence, and they were going to their
new home in the New World. When
the children cried for meat or something
better than the stale black bread the
mothers hushed them and told them
that they would soon be at Plymouth,
beyond Emporia, where they would
meet Uncle Heinrich and Aunt Lena,
and when they got out onto the farm
they would all have meat and milk.
20, it will be heaven, said one of the
men, ito live in country where our
children can have all the milk and meat
they wantP'
As the train passed Emporia, Kansas,
the poor Germans began to raise the
windows and admire the beautiful
country along the Santa Fe Road The
next station was to be the long looked
for new home. The mothers, wreathed
in smiles, began to wash the children 5
faces for the last time. Then when the
rosy-cheeked children were fixed they
took white handkerchiefs out of their
bags and put them around their own
necks. Poor women, they had but one
dress on earth, but as they were going
to see brothers and sisters and neigh
borS who had been away from Germany
and living in Kansas for five years
they wanted to look as well as they
could
''The next station is the place., said
a big, healthful German as he tied q
blue handkerchief over his old soiled
collar, land here we'll never be hungry
again. Here my little babies can have
all they want to eat
will your friends meet you at the
trainp" l asked, becoming deeply in
terested in the poor but now happy
group.
Eyes, they know we are coming this
week, and they'll be down at every
train Heiurich's is only two miles off. %
There they are! waiting for us, F"
said the wife, stretching her head out of
the window, and sure enough here was
a crowd of twenty ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
on the platform as the train drew up.
Soon the fathers and mothers lead the
way off the train, carrying the big bun
dies, the children following with the
dozens of little packages. As they
struck the platform brothers and sisters
and fathers and children came together
in a long embrace. Every eye was
dimmed with tears. Every voice fall
tered and every throat choked with
emotion. 1t was the pother of great
joy. But soon they wiped their tears
away and began, to laugh and pat and
smooth each other on the back Then
the Kansas Germans led them across the
street to hotel where big dinner was
ordered. 1t was worth days travel
to see those appetites appeased. In two
years these German immigrants who
looked so hungry on the cars will own
