In skating always keep to the right.
DO not continue to skate with a
young lady when you see she has a de-

Do not rush into an intimacy with
every young lady you meet at the rink
Friendships quickly made are quickly
broken.
Do not claim the acquaintance Of a
lady on the ground that you once help

ly taken on the floor.
Do not imagine that because lady
permits you to escort her around the
rink you dare claim the right to escort
her to the front gate.
A lady skater should not expect hei
SO week fellow to trot her out on

Women VINO Earn Their Living.

The field OF employment of women
is constantly increasing, says the New
York Ecening Post, but, as the caudi-
dates for positions multiply, the wages
decrease Women, who five years ago
were enabled to make from Sl8 TO S22
week in some special branch where
men had therefore been employed,
now are paid from Sl2 to S15. Still,
as the occupation for women multiply,
more livings are made in desirable and
womanly employments than ever be.
fore. Among the better paying occu-
pations for young women, type-writ-
ing ranks well to the fore. The type
writer has been brought to its present
perfection within five years. AT first
it was bought by a few real estate
agents and lawyers, and discarded, af-
ter short trial, as it required consid-
cradle skill to be operated. To-day
about eight hundred young women use
the typewriter.
The field is becoming somewhat
crowded, however, and it is advisable
to combine stenograpby With type-wri-
ting. Girls who are expert type writ
ters, find employment in law, insur-
ance, real estate and business offices.
The commercial agencies employ about
one hundred of them. The hours are
from nine in the morning to three in
the afternoon, and the labor is rarely
fatiguing-far less firing and exacting
than telegraphy, aud usually better
paid. Typewriter operators receive
from SS to Sl2 a week, although in
some special instances when the opera
tor is required to make herself general
ly useful, to keep books, to file docu-
ments, and to answer questions the pay
is better. But it is now difficult to find
employment as typewriter operator
simply. Young women who are fair
stenographers, as we'll as typewriter
operators, are had for from Is to 25
per cent. more pay, and naturally a
lawyer or business man prefers a
stenographer, who may act also as an
amanuensis.

A Terrible Rebuke.

An old man whom age had made
helpless and decrepit was obliged to
depend entirely for his subsistence and
care upon his sons family. While TAX
ing his food his hand trembled so that
he often spilled it upon the table cloth,
and his son had him take his meals out
of an earthen dish in the corner. The
dish fell out of hi, trembling hand and
was broken, which so vexed his son
and his wife that they bought him a
wooden dish for his future use.
The next day the little grandson was
discovered at work with chisel and
hammer upon log of wood.
"What in the world are you doing
there, my son. said the father.
The little fellow did not want to
tell, and his mother asked, "What are
you doing there, my SOM Tell me at
once 7"
"Oh,' said he, "Im making a lit
tie trough, like the one piggie eats out
of"
"What are you going to do with the
pig trough, my soni'
"Why, mother said the little boy,
"1m making it for you and father to
eat out of when I'm man !"
1t was lesson in time to the father
and mother, and grandfather had a
place at the table, and was treated as
one of the family, and not like a worn
out brute.

The New Paris Post-0fice.

A building which has been for many
years in the hands of the contractors
will be opened for public use almost
Immediately. AT cost of over 9,000,-
900 frances, Paris has built new
Post-otiice, and placed it on the site of
the old one, erected in the year 1857.
In the lapse OF more than century the
French capital, like our owp, has
stretched westward, but still the Rue
Jean Jacques Rousseau remains the
centre of the great city on the Seine.
The new building is simply an estab-
lishment on very large scale for the
reception, the sorting, and the delivery
of the correspondence of the French
capital. In rome the fresco painter
and the landscape gardener were call
ed in to assist the labors of the archi-
tect, and the new Post-office in the
Via Gonvertiti is one of the most pic
turesque of buildings. In Paris bust
ness requirements alone were consider
ed, Two Improvements have been ad-
opted which might well be initiated on
this side of the Channel. A large
room is set apart for the use of persons
who desire to write letters. 1t is fur
nished with maps, guide books, die
tionaries and directories, and has sup
ply of pens, ink and blotting paper. An
attendant supplies stationery at cost
price, and there is a small charge of a
penny or two,pence for the use of the
room. In another wing of the build.
ing passage is fitted with letter boxes
hired out at an annual rent to mer.
chants and business men. These boxes
have doors in front and doors behind.
The keys of the latter are with the
Post-office authorities, and as soon a:
mails come in letters are put in their
respective boxes, while the clerks out
side bring them to their masters with
out the delay of a general delivery
This system, now about to be iutroduc
ed into the capital, has TOR some year
been in use in large towns in Frame
and Switzerland. 1t is general in tn
