Dullness.

A mother having become alarmed
about the failing state of erdaughter's
health, and not being able to get much
satisfaction from a consultation with
the village doctor, took her to a Lon
don physician for further advice. He
asked q few questions as to the girls
daily habits and mode of life, carefully
stethoscoped her heart and lungs, and
then gave an involuntary sigh. The
mother grew pale and waited anxious
ly for the verdict. MADAM" he
said, $50 far as I can discover, your
daughter is suffering from a most seri-
IL complaint, which, for want of a
better name, | shall call 'dullness.'
Perhaps it is in your power to cure it.
I have no medicine which is q specific
for this disease 1t is not every doc
tor who dares to be thus straightfor-
ward; otherwise, the same opinion
would be given in hundreds of cases
now labeled with some jaw-breaking
technical term for the sake of politeness
to the sufferer and her relations.
An indefinable, restless longing is the
natural state Of a healthy. vigorous
minded girl, when she has nothing to
occupy her thoughts and her fingers,
just as the vague Tapping of a birds
wings, as it sits beside the nest, shows
that it it is ready for flight. When
the most natural thing-marriage-does
not take a girl from her old home to a
new one: if she has no regular employ
ment, no outlet for her energies, no in
teresting companions, no amusements:
it is scarcely a matter for surprise if she
becomes ~listless or petulant, out of
health or out Of spirits. There is a very
importanl time in a commonplace girls
life, during which she rarely receives the
amount of consideration and encourage
ment that she would probably require:
1t is when the school-room is exchanged
for the drawing-room, and the ire
sponsible child is supposed to enter upon
the duties and cares of life. In the
numberless homes where looming out"
does not mean being presented at court
and a round of London gayety, the sud
den cessation of obligatory tasks, when
not replaced by some definite employ
ment, creates a blank difficult to fill in
a satisfactory manner, unless the girl
has ONE special talent she is bent on

CARPENTRY as a Hobby.

"Send that dressed stuff home this
afternoon, sure" said a boss carpenter
to his assistant, giving him the address
of a we'll known banker.
''You seem to be doing a lively bust
ness" remarked the reporter.
1--WE have quite a run of CUSTOM
said the carpenter, ''but 1t happens in
this instance, as in several others l
could mention, that we are not going to
do the actual Job at all. Our part in the
operation ends with getting out the
stuff; the work, whatever it is, will be
done by the purchaser.
The fact is that q considerable num-
Der of well-to-do persons have a curious
fancy for doing carpentry work; it is 8
sort of mild mania with them. They
do not do it to save money, for they are
terrible d%estroyers of wood. and this
clear, nicely dressed stuff is costly. But
it seems to be q relief for men who work
with their brains to start up a job now
and then with their hands. / know an
uptown physician who often deyotes
several hours to carpentry after a hard

left word for me to call at eleven o'clock
at night to help him do some tipping
on hard stuff; we did not get through
until two o'clock in the morning. His
wife told me she had long since become
accustomed to his hammering, and did
not mind it. He was excitable and
deeply interested in his profession; car
pentry work quoted his nerves. The
Doctor always looked at a piece OF wood
very attentively before saving it, and
measured it up with his eye. 1 think
he was calculating for the job pretty
much as though he was having to 90
with an arm or a leg. 1t seems ! OF
natural that a surgeon should AXE to

ing up.
mo, l cannot say I've noticed that
the fancy for hammering is stronger in
n set OF men than in another. Peo-
pie OF New England descent may pos
slpiy nave a more powerful leaning in
that direction than some other folks
have. The genuine Yankee takes much
delight in making tables and chairs and

10 drive a nail in solidly seems to tickle
the New England mind. The 1ino
cabinets and desks and highly or
namented pieces of work are turned out
mostly by professional men. Two bust
ness-men that L know, have q special
fancy in the line of wheelwright work,
such rs baby carriages. A, man on
Long Island had a passion for making
odd-shaped tall clocks, and q man living
on the Hudson River will turn out as
handsome an oak chest as YOU would
wish to see. He uses English wood
which has been carefully seasoned. In
fact, most of them have ,specialities.
Some prefer house carpentry, and are
always pulling down or putting up
something new for the family's comfort;
others take to joinery, marquetry, or
fancy turned work.
.'1he getting up of pieces of furniture
in imitation of antique styles has the call
just now. l saw n of my customers
breaking apart a splendid old solid
mahogany wardrobe the other day that
he had recently purchased. In answer
to my question he said he wanted the
dark seasoned wood to make into an
old-time cabinet. 1t was not q bad idea,
but would be an expensive one for .
professional carpenter to indulge in.
"What do they do with their finished
work? Oh, they often give it to friends.

whole evening. I asked him why he
chose carpentry to work at rather than
something else. He said it was because
it combined exercise with ideas. He
had tried. the gymnasiums, but that
kind of exercise did not interest him.
Gas a rule amateur carpenters seem
to prefer to do their work alone. Car
