New Industry for Women that has Grown Upin the BrOvvn-StOne District

New Industry for Women that has Grown Uptn the BrOvvn-stOne District From the New York Sum-
 I'm a duster," said 8 young woman whom reporter met in private house up town-''a professional duster. I'm not the only one. It's regular profession, dusting is, nowadays. The parlors of the rich have grown to be so many museums of delicate and costly ornaments. To dust and arrange these collections every day would too severely tax the strength of the wealthy ladies. To set the servants at work was found to be bad management, not because they were bungling and liable to smash the. delicate fabrics. but because the servants have no time to spare frem their other duties. Therefore the mis- tresses employ competent women to keep their parlors in order. The dusting business
 is an established industry, but 1t Is confined to the metropolis, and almost entirely to the region of brown stone fronts. All the dusters I know of are women who have seen better days, but, of course,it isn't every educated and refined women who can make good duster."
 ''What are the requirements?'
 ''She must be light-footed, quick and strong in her wrists and arms. To visit a dozen houses in the forenoon before callers arrive and dust and arrange things is no child's play. women must fairly jump at her work. The remuneration? We'll, dollar or 75 cents a visit, sometimes more. At some houses where the hostess entertains a good many guests the rooms are arranged every day Orders are given to the dusters to change the arrangements of the appointments every time they come Then, again,a duster must know how to take hold of every sort of knick- knack and how to move it safely. She must know just what sort of brush to use for every sort of dusting. The brush that will not break filmy tissue of glass is useless on piece of furniture, and would not reach the ceiling corners. She must have several brushes, and she must not be careless or slap dash for an instant There are few bits of bric- a-brac in these parlors that could eplace with six months earnings"

His Pm ysicHI Appearance,D Dress and Man
 Two YeaSs Before His Death.
 From Lecture by George M. TOwle.l
 From behind the plain, broad writing table brisk, active figure came forward to greet me with bright twinkle of the eye, sunny smile and a hearty grasp of the hand. A re- markedly youthful figure, as it first peared to me, and most jauntily arrayed. The ap- parel was conspicous and even foppish. There seemed to be prevailing effect of gold and iewelry rather too lavishIy displayed. Coat, vest and trousers were cut in the top of the days fashion. The cravat was brilliant in color and obtrusive in size. The general im- pression was that of 8 dainty and airily- was a very necessary article of domestic fur niture.
 But was soon drawn from this rapid con- temptation of attire to observe the features and manner of the man himself Never, thought, had the art of photography more completely failed to catch the true lineaments and expression of it's subject than in this in- stance. Here before me was a face aglow with bright, healthy, pink and white bloom: face which, whilefurrowed with heavy lines when in -repose, was yet youthful in it's exprs- sive and changeful vivacity; large mouth, about whose corners there seemed always playing quizzical smile, and hair and beard slightly tinged, indeed, with streaks of grey, yet fine and tawny and curly and arranged with studious care about the broad white fore head. retreating chin and dslicately tinted cheeks.
 But of all the striking features the great beauty of the eyes first attracted and held the visitor. Eyes of the bluest blue;eyes which danced and sparkled with sunniest merriment and yet which quickly softened into serious sympathy;eyes which were brilliant and searceing and seemed always to be kindfully, though keenly, reading the person to whom he was talking, yet which never hardened into sternness: eyes in which, especially you could discern all the humanity and humor, the noble intellectual possibilities and manly ten derness of their possessor.

A decision has been rendered by Judge
 Deadly in the United States District court
 which involves the authority of the State of l Oregon to collect a tax on mortgages held | by foreign corporations, and is 8 matter of
 much importance to the State generally. The
 court held that the mortgage tax law cannot l impair the obligations of contract between l lender and borrower, and that the notes and l mortgages of foreign companies are not tax able in the State because the business of
 loaning money is done there through an agent
 In addition the law itself is void for want of equity, and is contrary to the constitution of the State. Although the decision refers only
 to foreign companies, it completely upsets the whole business of taxing mortgages under
 the present laws of the State. and gives to
 banks and individuals an opportunity of
 loaning money on such conditions as will be
 advantageous to them, and will result in re-
 lieVing the stringency of the money market.
 The plan of allowing husbands and wives
 to live together in English warehouses has not proved altogether a success. They do
 not get along with each other any better than husbands and wives do who are not in the
 workhouse. The subject was brought under notice at a recent meeting of the MileEnd
 Old Town board of guardians, when the chairman gave melancholy account of the result of an experiment tried in this direction
 Special rooms, he said, were prepared in the workhouse for married couples, and the peo- pie whom it was proposed to allow the privilege of living together were called in for the purpose of ascertaining their views on the matter. The first person questioned was 8 woman; and she, by means of language anything but agreeable, expressed her de
 cided objection to living with her husband. The second woman whose opinion was taken remarked that it WAS on account of her hus- bands drunkenness and cruelty toward her that she had sought refuge in the workhouse. The third person called in was man, and ne objected in similar strong terms to living again with his wife. Under these circum- stances the scheme was abandoned.

Mr Matthew Arnold has left this country and is now on his way to bis beloved England. He declared, just before sailing, that he did not intend to write book about America. Mir. Arnold does not think his short visit here qualities him to describe the country and it's people, which shows that he is really a wise Englishman.

 The temperance wave is attacking even the stronghold of "Old Bourbon" The lower branch of the Kentucky legislature has passed bill prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors in five counties which had petitioned for such action, and bill is pending which proposes to introduce the tax system of the Ohio Scott law.

Woman is making rapid progress towards her rights in Canada. After much opposition the Ontario legislature has decided that women shall be admitted as students in the Toronto Provincial University, which is the leading seat of learning in Canada, and the example is likely to be followed by other ed- ucational institutions At the same time the Canadian women are making 8 most deter mined push for the suffrage, and as their petitions are supported by almost every town council in the province, and the government is not opposed, there is 8 strong probability that the sex will soon be placed upon an equal footing with the men.

While Russia is reported to be on the eve of abolishing official nobility, Germany, on the other hand, has lately ordered by decree that the style High Wellborn" is henceforth to be given to all captains and Iieutenants of bourgeois extraction in active service, and to pensioned army officers not below the rank of staff officers. If a captain of bourgeois birth retires from active service without hav- ing obtained the Character" of major, he is only entitle d to the addfcss' 'Wellborn," :" while officer belonging to the nobility are always High Wellborn."
 A salutary reform in reference to noble. mems degrees is contemplated at Cambridge University in England. The Council of the Senate have reported that they are of opinion that there are no sufficient reasons for con- kinuine the practice of conferring the con- plete degree of B. A. upon peers and sons of peers who come to the university in their youth, and recommend that peers and the sons of peers who may hereafter enter the university and desire to proceed to the degree of B. A. should be required to keep by res idence the same number of terms as other students in arts under the same conditions.
 The orators are not all dead. The evidence seemed overwhelming against Edward John son. a colorsd man on trial for burglary at Batavia, Ohio. His trial had lasted four days. and the audience in court thought him sure to be convicted. He asked permission to speak, and talked for forty-five minutes He fairly tore to pieces the States network of evidence, plunged most of the jurors in tears, amazed the Court, captivated the audi encs with a speech which Cincinnati papers say has no parallel in rude eloquence since the days of Chief Red Jacket. He was acquitted.
 France encourages her shipping interest in substantial way. The report of the French minister of marine shows that the sums dis bursed by the French government as pre- miums to owners of vessels for long voyages amounted during the last three years to about $3, 300, 900. or this less than $50,
