variety in Momen,s Work.

New York Evening Post
Variety in employment Is restful. Ne
thoughtful person denies or doubts this, and a
little time and money expended in learning how
to do some new kind of needle work is by no
means time and money wasted One of the
chief virtues of a good wife is her strong desire
to adorn her home and to add attractions
to It as long as she lives, but many woman
hesitates about deliberately doing fancy work
She doesn't feel quite sure that it is right for
her. and many hour is wasted because of
this feeling. Often it happens that she has no
intending or no work cut out, and yet has a little
time which she might give to the bit of fancy
work which would actually prove a kind of rec
reaton for her. Very busy and hardworkng
women act upon this belief, and this it is which
renders it possible for them to accom-
plish great things in their homes.
If asked when they did some delicate and
tasteful work they will say, ''Why, 1 hardly
know, there were so few minutes at one time
given to IT, that it would be difficult to tell Just
when or how it was done" / know of a very
to it only the few minutes which elapse after the
family were called to dinner, and before they APP
peared in the dining room. One woman-who,
| think, should never have married, so eager is
she to prove not the equality Of man and
woman, but the superiority of woman-exhibited
with pride and great satisfaction a crazy-quilt
which she said was all pieced and embroidered
in the time during which her husband was look
ing for his hat. She said with fervor that it
was truth which she told, and, and that not a
stitch was ever put into 1T at any other time 1t
was about one year in process of making.

down with a bridge in his caboose in Iowa City,
and nearly the whole of the left side of his head
was crushed in. DR.. Peck removed the broken
pieces of skull, trimmed the jagged edges of
what remained even, and left exposure of the
brain in space three and a half by four inches
n extent, and then tho skin was induced to
form over the opening and silver plate was
made to cover and protect the thin membrane
Mr.. Starbuck regained his health fully, but he
had to ne very careful with the left side of his
head, as any accident to the film which covered
his brain would have been disastrous. All this
occurred some fourteen years ago, and after
three or four years. residence here and in Mos
cow Mr. StaI buck went away, no one knew
whittier. Now it turns out that he is in Boston,
alive, well, and prespering. and curiosity TO the

THE EASTERN WAR.

The Situation of the French in TOnquin
Growing More Perilous.
Hone KONG Nov 12-The French casualties
in the fight in Tamsui, last week, we're trifing.
The French have captured the Chinese gun
boat Feihoo. Later information shows that the
Feihoo was only the tender used in conveying
stores to the various lighthouses. The Chinese
are still besetting Keeling. The situation of
the French at Tonquin is daily becoming more
perilous. Their outpests are subject to constant
attacks, and great difficulty is experienced in
procuring provisions in the territory between
Hanoi and Sontay, and daily skirmishes take
place The health of the troops at Bacninh is
bad, and numbers of men are unfit for service
