Cost of living Abroad.

New York Commercial Advertiser
One of the populars errors of the time is
that living, SO far as travellers are concerned.
is very much cheaper in London and other
British cities than it is Ia New York and other
cities of America. The experience of large
proportion of transatlantic travellers is quite
in contrary condition. Such thing as 50
or even SO day hotel in Great Britain is as
thoroughly unknown as a variety of viands at
a London boarping house. Five to ten dollars
are nearer the prices, and restaurants are
dear in proportion. There are many other
popular errors in regard to cheapness of things
abroad which deserve ventilation at the hands
of the experienced travellers or the victims of
fashionable sWindling

Women still Doing Hard, Rough
Work.

New York Herald
Miss Emily Faithful, in late lecture, called
attention to her own work, which, for want Of
a better name, has been called "The Movement
for Women, which had for its, object the seek
ing of remunerative. employment for women
She started from the premises that women
must live. "Yes," say the DIRECTORS to the en-
largement of woman's sphere, "she must live,
but quietly and in her proper place" Such
DIRECTORS, she claimed, quite forgot that the
employments in which women were formerly
proficient have been taken away by the appli-
cation of masculine science and the invention
Of machinery Those who insist that woman's
place is still at home forget that the voca-
lions which once provided women not
only with subsistence but with q sub
stantial position have taken flight
from the household and established
themselves in large factories. The old fash
Toned English lady who sat surrounded by all
the women of her family spinning wool and
flax is thing of the past Machinery has
effected q complete change in our domestic
economy. "A hundred years ago the daughters
of household had plenty to do within doors
All sorts of things were done at home then,
which now even the most old-fashioned have
discarded The baking and brewing and spin
ming and weaving are done in manufactures,
and owing to this, while some women are not
working at all, others are forced into most
unwomanly spheres, for no one will deny that
women are to be found doing some Of the
toughest, hardest work; and that must be
borne in mind when the question of eft" en-

who are asking that new paths should be
opened for women ought not to be charged
with taking them from good and truly wom-

Letters Belong to the SENDER.


Morally speaking, a letter is rather the
property of the sender than of the receiver.
It is the writer who has breathed into it the
breath of life. Whatever revelations of feel
ing or circumstance it may make are COM
monty personal to himself, and he alone is the
just arbiter of its future. The receiver has
not even Interstate in this palpitant prop
erty. Far less has she right to take that
risk of admitting the whole world to conf
dence which loss of the pages, or undue curl
osity, or the death of its custodian implies
People no longer write letters for posterity to
read; and if they did, the loss to literature of
all the familiar epistles which all the brilliant
people in the world are at any moment of time
inditing would be an inappreciable total com
pared with the modification, the shame, the
heart-ache, the undeserved obloquy and
wretchedness, which overwhelm Innocent
persons when some public trial or private
treachery involves the publication of conf
Dental correspondence. 1t should be rec
ognized canon of good-breeding that no letter,
however charming, may be kept, which
touches the honor, the sensibilities, or even
the honest prejudices of any friend.

The Coming Age Of Intuition.

We hide our best selves, lest we be not un-
derstood Had we more faith Ia, and less dis
trust Of our fellows, We might often find
comrade in spirit, where now we gaze askance
and disconsolate, cherishing our dumbness in
an agony Of soul
Each soul as it comes in contact with others
is cognizant Of feeling of attraction or re-
pulsion; could we but realize that this subtitle,
yet potent, influence, that speaks to our inner
consciousness, is the witness that giveth the
SOULS true measurement of its environments,
we would lean upon its councils in all trust
fulness, rather than upon the admonition
that comes from the intellect alone. But ex-
cessive worldly wisdom, based upon narrow
circle Of so-called facts, tends to warn us con-
tinually against our better selves Our intui-
ton is, apprehend, our reason blossomed
out, and too long has this higher power been
subject to a lower; too long has our ideal
been snubbed by the so-caned real
The coming age is one of intuition; therein
will women assume something of her natural
prerogative, reigning queen among those who
have styled themselves her lord. Our poets,
philosophers, seers, and sages, have each in
their turn been styled fools and maniacs be-
Gauge, forsooth, their mental processes were
not 80 cumbersome as that of their fellows
But mankind will ever cultivate and cherish
whatsoever is held in high esteem and valued
most among their felow-men.
Says Lewes, 4" Intuition is the clear vision of
relations, and. again, ALI great discoveries
were seen intuitively long before it was pos
sible to exhibit the correctness of their ground
or disentangle the involved data" When,
therefore, these truths shall be fully accepted
in the lives of men, when the intuitive facul-
ties shall be trusted, honored and valued, not
only for their beauty but for their utility, then
will they be cultivated; and mothers will feel
honored in handing down to their sons an in
heritance heretofore despised; for %like father,
hkeson, is not half so true, as " like mother,
hkeson." And woman from time immemo-
rial has been sneered at as illogical, becaT . of
the superiority of her intuition; but the time
is near at hand, when this iton in the category

Over-Beautiful WALLPAPER DESIGNS.

Harper's Bazaar.
Several pupils of Cooper Institute called re-
Gently upon well-known firm of manufac-
turers of wall paper, and submitted to them
some original designs of their own. They were
very courteously received by the head of the
establishment, who, after admiring the pro-
ducts of their skill, replied: Ladies', these
patterns are beautiful They are clever They
are highly artistic But will be frank with
you. We do not deal, to any amount, in de-
signs that are beautiful, clever and highly
artistic. AS men and brethren we admire them
greatly, but as manufacturers we care little
for the most of them, because they do not SELL
Occasionally in the cities we can dispose Of

The ChiIaren,s Renaissance.

Jennie June in Cleveland Leader.
1t is perhaps five or six years ago since
young woman who had already done some
good artistic work sat in publishers Office
trying in vain to get an idea of what he had in
his mind as an attraction for the holiday sea-
SON Hetried to explain to her that he wanted
picture" children, not fashion plate children,
and she hastily sketched some conventional
youngsters in conventional fancy dress, but he
shook his head and looked perplexed, while
she idly drew sort of little Red Riding Hood
figure on the sheet of paper in her lap. The
publisher saw the large bonnet and long
cloak. That's what want, he said; some
thing like that, only more so-in short, the
common dress of the last century put on the
pretty chubby babies of to-day" Il think I
understand, said the young lady; and that
was the beginning of the children's renais-
sance, the revival of old ideas in this country
in the book aud Christmas card world The
young artist made thousand dollars by her
holiday sketches and went abroad with it, full
filling the dream of her life; and since then
thousands of others have made still more by
taking the same idea and working it over in
thousand different ways.

AN attempt was made Monday, by
Mr.. T. Reiger, of Boscobel, who was
the latest victim of Zeiglemaire's klepto-
maniac Tenderness, to obtain the articles
stolen from his store on the night of the
10th. As the goods would be needed
in evidence when the case came up in
court they could not, of course, be sur
rendered unless Zeiglemaire was dis
posed to plead guilty and take his
sentence before the county court. This
it was rumored he intended to do, but
in answer to questions in regard to his
intention, from Sheriff Rewey, Monday,
he expressed himself rs in no hurry ''for
week or two" Consequently the
Sheriff was unable to give Mr.. Reiger
any encouragement and that gentleman
was obliged to depart and await the
slow movements of the purloiner's con-
science, or the slower process of the
court, for relief.

The Fairlamb Cream Can.

That is what we desire to say few
words about. There having been de-
sire expressed among our patrons to
own their cans instead of renting them
as formerly. we have decided to sell the
cans to all who wish them this year.
Our charge for them will be what they
cost us in Chicago, we paying for
freight and packing which is about
$1,000 per 100. We make this liberal
offer because we intend our patrons
shall have the best cream raising can
ever made. We need say but few
words regarding the can, it has stood
every test, and stands at the head to-day.
1t will raise more cream from a given
amount of milk than any can in exist
ance, and the increase in production
alone, viii pay for the can the first sea-
son. Send in your orders as rapidly as
possible. so we may know how many
cans to order, and state whether you
want full size of u gallons or I sizes
gallons. We recommend full size.

The sting or the Bee.

If we press the abdomen of the bee OF
wasp, so as to cause the sting to pro.
tude, it is but natural to think that the
sharp, dark-colored instrument was the
sting itself. This, however, is not the
case. The real sting is very slender
instrument, nearly transparent, keenly
pointed, and armed on one edge with
row of barbs.
/. So exactly does the sting resemble
the many-barbed arrow of certain saw
age tribes that, if the savages had pos.
sessed microscopes, we should certainly
have conjectured that they borrowed
the idea of the barb from the insect
What we see with the unaided eye is
simply the sheath of the sting.
Many savages poison their spears and
spears, and here also they have been
anticipated by the insect, But the
sting is infinitely superior to the arrow
poison. No poison that has yet been
made, not even the terrible wourali, OF
curare, as it is sometimes called, can re-
tam Its strength after long exposure &c
air. The upas poison of Borneo, for
example, loses its potency in two OF
three hours. But the venom of the
sting is never exposed to the air at all.
1t is secreted by two long thread-like
glands, not nearly so thick as human
hair, and is then received into little
bag at the base of the sting.
When the insect uses its weapon il
contracts the abdomen, thereby forcing
the sting out and COMPRISING the ven
om-bag. By the force of the stroke
which drives the sting into the foe its
base is pressed against the venom-bag
and small amount of the poison driven
into the wound. As rule, if the bee
or wasp be allowed to remain quiet, il
will withdraw its sting, but as the pain
generally causes sudden jerk, the
barbed weapon cannot be withdrawn.
and the whole apparatus of sting, poi.
son-bag, and glands is torn out Of the
insect, thereby causing its death. - Good
Words.

A WINDY warfare broke out on a
street corner Monday evening, and after
a cyclone or two, which did no damage,
aside from shocking the surrounding
atmosphere, a proposition was made to
adjourn to convenient place and open
more interesting hostilities. The offer
was accepted, but after walkinga block or
two the parties tired of the exercise and
took to the street with coats off. This
was the beginning of the end; whether
the chill breeze had cooling effect or
