A WOMAN WHO BORE NINE CHILDREN AT
THREE BIRTHS.

A number Of charitable ladies
from Philadelphia and New York
spending the summer at Island
Heights, lovely summer resort en-
Toms river, N. j., are actively en-
gagged in raising donations of money
and clothing for Mrs. johnson, re
siding in small cottage at that place
who has just given birth to the third
set of triplets. The latest arrivals are
three chubby: growing children, the
very pictures of health, and all girls.
The only way that they are distin
guished from each other is by their
clothing, which some of the ladies
had mischievously marked Faith, y
Hope" and Charity" The parents
are both large and well formed per
sons, and Mr.. johnson is employed as a
Iaborcr on neighboring farm. The
six other children of Mr.. and Mrs.
johnson are all stout and healthy,
and are ali under eight years of age.
The cottagers and boarders in the
neighborhood have given parlor Ell
tertainments, taken up collections and
have resorted to various other means
OF relieving the family, who are poor
in circumstances A large purse has
already been raised.

The Belle of the Bell.

There is far less vulgarity in cheap
dress than in finery worn out of time
and place. Real elegance shows itself
not always in the quality of ones "dry
goods" but in wise judgment about
putting them on. Margery Deane, in
her last book, describes the simplicity Of
some of the European ladies of rank as
follows:
An American girl would have stood
amazed at fashionable lawn party
which once attended, where all the la
dies were in the simplest of pretty calico
and cotton dresses. Ladies whose family
Jewels would have stocked a shop, and
whose inherited laces were of priceless
value, wore in the streets dresses that
the American girl would scorn to wear
ON the beach ut Newport on Sunday
morning because of their simplicity.
In Vienna went with young bar
oness to try on a dress she was having
made to wear to the afternoon ball to be
given to the emperor's school for the
education of officers sons.
She was twenty and had one million
florins in her own right, and had been
brought up with the emperor's children
for time, when her father had been
aide-de-camp, and the jewels she had
inherited and were to come to her had
dazzled me when spread out for my see
ing one day.
1 had fancied her dress to be some
thing very elegant. Imagine my sur
prise when it proved to be dainty cot
ton satine, fifty cents a yard in Ameri-
ca. But she was the belle of the
ball.

Some Boston Women,

A well-dressed, fine-looking woman
came into Boston mantua-maker's
one day, and, Notwithstanding that 9th
er people were within hearing distance,
borrowed S25. ''rll tell you how to
fix it." she said: ''tuck SO somehow
on to the bill for that last dress, distri-
butte another $40 upon the trimmings of
the one you're making now, and the
other So can be put on to some things
must have for the children. Make
the whole bill look plausible, and keep
it over month longer I'll make good
must have the money, and my husband
don't allow me enough any other
way"
In fruit shop another day the wife
of the proprietor came in with friend
and asked her husband to hand the
friend ten cents, with which she had
supplied her to get a spool of thread
while out. He did SO, and the wife
walked off, evidently too well used to
her penniless condition to see anything
odd about it. Another day a woman of
far lower social pretensions than the
one first mentioned came into milli-
ner's store in a town in Maine, and, Sc
lectlng handsome feather, asked the
price. ''Seven dollars,' said the shop
woman, ''Will you put it by for me for
five weeks?" asked the purchaser. 81
have but two dollars to pay on it now,
but 1 like nice things, and you'll be
sure to get the money, for my husband
allows me dollar a weekr' she ex-
claimed, looking about with pride. The
shopkeeper complied, and she left smil-
ing.
s.Glory be to Godr' exclaimed an
Irish woman present, as the door closed
upon her. ''Tve lived with the man
that owns me these thirty years, and
he's handed me his wages every Satur-
day night and never axed me afterwards

When Dignity Works ALI Right.

Col. Ingersoll said at Omaha the other
day that he hated dignified man and
that he never knew one who had a par
ticle of sense; that such men never
learned and were constantly forgetting
something.
Josh Billings says that gravity is no
more the sign of mental strength than
a paper collar is the evidence of shirt.
This leads us to say that the man
who ranks as a dignified snoozer and
banks on winning wealth and death
less name through this one source of
strength, is in the most unenviable posi-
tion of any one we know Dignity does
not draw. 1t answers in place of intel
lectual tone for twenty minutes but
after awhile it fails to get there. Digni-
ty works all right in wooden Indian
or q drum major, but the man who de-
sres to draw salary through life and
to be sure of visible means of support
will do well, to make some other pro-
visions than naughty look and the air
of patronage. Col. Ingersoll may be
wrong in the matter of future punish
ment but his head is pretty level on the
dignity question. Dignity works all
right with man who is worth million
OOlldTS anu mas some QOuDUS ABOUT MS
suspenders, but with the man who is to
get large sum of money before he dies
and get married and accomplish some
good, must place himself before his fell
low men in the attitude of one who has
ideas that are not too lonely and isolat-
ed
Letus therefore aim higher than simply
to appear cold and austere. Let US study
to aid in the advancement of humanity
and the increase of baled information.
Let us struggle to advance and improve
the world, even though in doing so we
may get into ungraceful positions, and
at times look otherwise than pretty.
Thus we shall get over the ground, and
though we may do it in the eccentric
style of the camel, we will get there, as
we said before, and we will have camp
ed and eaten our supper while the
graceful and dignified pedestrian fingers
along the trail.
Works, not good clothes and dignity,
are the grand hailing sign, and he who
halts and refuses to jump over an OBJ
staele because he may not do it SO as to
appear as graceful rs a gazelle, will not
arrive until the festivities are over
