The Story of Floyd Ireson.

BY Rev. g. @. Shinn.
We have all read Whittier's story
OF Skipper ~Irescn, who is represented
as DESERVING a ship-wrecked crew, and
being tarred and feathered and then
driven through the streets Of Marble
head for his inhumanity. The facts
are, that as Ireson's schooner, the
Betty, was on her way home from the
fishing banks in the storm, she passed
the schooner Active off Cape Cod in a
sinking condition. Ireson called his
crew together andconsulted with them
as to what should be done. They all
declared that it was madness to risk
their own lives in an attempt to res
cue the crew OF the Active. Ireson
then wanted them to lie by the wreck
for the night, and then try to save
them, but the crew demurred, and
compelled him to make all sail for
home. When they reached Marble
head, fearing the Indignation of their
brave neighbors, they agreed to place
all the blame upon the skipper, and
the story was. believed.
lteSOii, however, aIUeT he nAQ Deen
tarred and feathered and ridden
through the town and back again,
said to the men and boys, 'sYou will
live to regret all this" and they did
for the true story came out later, and
it is a pity the poet Whittier did not
know what the true story vas ere his
graceful pen put in shape the wicked
lie as it was told by the cowardly
crew OF the Betty.

LADY OPERATORS
A Prediction hat They will Soon Handle
the Key to the Exclusion of the Men.

l w --.H. ~ E- -
A Prediction that They will Soon Handle
the Key to the Exclusion of the Men.
The Geographic profession will, we
predict, says the current number of
the Photographers Advocate, in the
course of a few years, be composed OF
female members entirely. In every
large Office in the United States, the
proportion of male and female en-
ployes is undergoing a slow but posi-
tive change. Ten years ago the ratio
was about 80 males to one female
operator; five years ago the ratio was
| reduced to about Is malest to L female,
while to-day it is less than 6 to1 /. At
this same rate OF growth,in thefuture,
but ten years will be required to bal
ance the scales. Fifteen years from to-
day will find thefemale members in the
majority, andtwenty years henceit will
b~edifficultfor male operators to pro-
cure work at the key, at any price. The
days OF male operators are numbered.
Thetalk that lady operators are physi-
cally unequal to the task of working
heavy circuits, incompetent to receive
press, etc, ismere bosh. They canbe
and are rapidly being educated to meet
the requirements OF the profession.
They are reliable, which at once gives
them an advantage over the male
members. The Western Unions
heaviest circuits in the main office for
years have been handled by women.
Gradually the handful of women con-
fined to a few city wires in a remote
corner OF the great operating room has
grown to an army, spreading its use
fulness to every section and de.
partment OF the company. Five
years ago 80 women were employedat
1876, today there are over 275. In the
city of New York, the Western Union
force, five years ago, consisted of about
$50 men and 100 women; to-day, not
withstanding the natural increase Of
business, it stands about sooner and
$50 women. While the force has been
increased to the extent Of 100 operat-
ors, the male portion thereof has de-
creased to the extent of about $50.
These figures also apply to other sec
lions to a greater or less degree. For
ihstalice, tiie heaNy new 1OFk circuits
in Albany are now in the hands of
women, who receive $50 and $40 a
month less than the men whose places
they so recently filled. OF course the
saving to the Western Union company
is sufficient recompense for any incon-
venience to which they may be sub.
jected, while they persistently dwell
upon the reliability of the women as
compared with the men as areasonfor
making the changes.

A Royal Pedestrian.

The empress of Austria is noted for
her love of outdoor exercise, to which
she doubtless owes much of her beau
ty and her superb health. Robert P.
Porter, writing from Holland, tells Of
her pedestrian feats in that country,
which she has recently visited:
"Ymuiden, a village OF 1900, built
within the last few years on reclaimed
land, was all agog on account of a re-
cent visit made by that eccentric wom-
an, the empress of Austria. One day
she took it into her head to inspect
the sea walls at Ymuiden. Shebought
a pair of wooden shoes, and, with a
dress that was short enough to reveal
considerable of a beautiful pair oflegs,
she walked along the beach from g.
town even miles from Ymuiden. 1t
was not until she threw away the
shoes and gave the boatman who row.
ed her across the harbor two thalers
that it dawned upon the Ymuiden
mlnd what an important parsonage
had honored the village by a visit.
Said one tall, thin inhabitant of the
place, who might have been a western
farmer, so far as looks go, II would
have given twenty forins for those
shoes" And then added: "She was
a fne-looking woman She tripped
along the sands as lightly as a girl of
Is, and she didn't look older than
that if you had walked behind her.
Such q waist she had. Tall and
graceful, with a leg and foot any wom-
an might b proudo of. The only thing
| didn't like about her was her nose;
that's a little red, and her face is sun
burned" Such was the tall Ymuiden
mans description OF the emperor OF
Anstria's wife.

Level-Headed People.

Youths Companion.
The custom OF using the head as a
pack-horse is common among the Chi
nese of California and the negroes OF
the South. On the streets of San
Francisco the Chinese washerrnan is
met, stumping along on his thick-soled
shoes, as if on little stills, with q huge
basket of clean linen poised on his
head.
He swings his arms carelessly, his
fingers almost hidden from sight by
the long square cut sleeves OF his queer
loosely-fittingcoat. The burden seems
to cause neither trouble nor fear.
Across streets, through mud, among
carriages, he picks his way as uncon-
cernedly as if walking in a deserted
street. Occasionally, il iostled in the
crowd, one hand rises suddenly to the
basket, steadies that, and then re
sumes its easy swing.
Many of the negroes in the South
use their heads with even greater free.
dom than Chinese. On their woody
pates a pail, tub, basket, or bundle
seems to rest as airily as a swan on
the bosom OF a lake.
Without endangering the headload,
they have learned to loiter along the
way to tell a story, or crack a joke
with a friend. One day in Richmond,
Va, a gentleman met one of these sa-
Bile burden bearers, and said to him:
"Look out, Sam, or you'll let that
basket falin'

The spring cultivation of asparanu

The spring cultivation OF asparagus
consists of deep blowing between the
rows, turning in plenty OF manure. A
dressing Of compounds per acre, equal
to 4 pounds per square rod, is useful.
In the garden the ground should be
raked off, all therubbish carried away,
and the middles between the rows
spaded or forked. The menure, which
should be spread every year should be
turned under. Through the summer
the ground should be kept free from
weeds, and in the fall the stalks should
be cut of and the ground literally
~topdressed with mannrs.

A convention of the Grand Army of
the Republic is being held at Portland
Maine. Some over-zealous temperance
people were fearful that some Of the
soldiers might suspect that they could
not get as much drink material at Port
land as they would like, and would
take the precaution to bring drink or
two with them. This contingency
could not be tolerated, and the law
and order league of temperance organ
izations issued circulars saying that
packages containing liquors coming in
to the city should be seized and the
baggage Of soldiers searched. Natu-
rally an intense indignation was arous-
ed and the G.. A. r. comrades issued,

were the police of the whole nation,

Congressman w. d. Hill, OF Ohio
among other things, Is quoted as say
ing the democrats of Ohio are opposed
to the civil-service law almost to q
man; that they regarded it as fraud
on the public and they believe in the
right of the people to change every
officer in the government at the time
prescribed by the constitution. Hesaid
he did not know whether or not an eff
fort will be made to repeal the civil
service law at the next session of con-
gress, but If there is, that he will vote
to repeal it the first opportunity he
gets. He said he heard many demo-
cratic members of congress say they
would not vote 81 to pay expenses of
the commission and that he felt that
way himself.

Another Mississippi opinion on the
Hazlehurst postoffice question has bern
received. The Vicksburg Post, rath-
er moderate democratic paper from
Mississippi, says:
THE assassination of Print Math-
ews in November. 1888, undoubtedly
had decided effect upon the election
in 1SS4-in our opinion very few people
in Copiah dared to vote against Cleve-
land for president in 1884. and to that
extent, at least, was the electoral vote
of this state affected. When, in our
Judgment, the proper time arrives for
discussing more fully this question, we
shall be ready to maintain our opin-
ion and views. Mr.. Meade and his
friends or confederates contributed
greatly to Cleveland's success in Copiah
Co. and if the electoral vote of the
state had hinged upon the vote of one
partisans in Copiah would have been
found equal to the emergency. Now
it seems to us very inconsistent for Mr.
Cleveland to demand Mr.. Meade's
resignation, and we agree with the
Jackson Clarion (the orthodox demo
cratic organ of the state) that it
amounts to an Indictment of a whole
people, the very people, whose votes
were necessary to Mr.. Cleveland's sue.

Horses in Battle.

Warehouses, when hit in battle,
tremble in every muscle and groan
deeply. while their eyes show deep as
constituent. During the battle of
Waterloo, some of the horses, as they
lay upon the ground, having recovered
from the first agony 'of their wounds,
fell to eating the grass about them,
thus surrounding themselves with a
circle of bare ground, the limited ex-
tent of which showed heir weakness.
Others were observed quietly grazing
on the field, between the hostile lines.
their riders having been shot on their
backs, and the balls flying over their
heads and the tumult behind, before
and around them, caused no Interrupt
ton to the usual inst net of their ma
ture. 1t Is also observed tnur, wupft

any of the stray horses already men
toned, they will set off, form them
selves in the rear of their mounted
companions, and, though without
riders, gailop strenuousiy along with
the rest, not stopping or flnching
when the fatal shock with the enemy
took place. AT the battle Of Kirk. in
1745, Major Mcdonald, having un-
horsed An English officer, took posses

beautiful. and Immediately mounted
it. When the English cavalry fed.
the horse ran away with its captor,
Notwithstanding all his efforts to res

The melancholy--and-a thA--sa,.la

presented when he saw himself the
victim of his ambition to possess a
fine horse which ultimately cost him
his life upon the scaffold, may be
easily conceived.

The Girls--How Thoy suner.


Girls are of few days and full OF
mischief. and whosoever Is deceived
thereby is not wise,
When the fair young girl cheweth
her gum with greater haste and stamp
eth her pretty foot. do thou look out,
She cometh forth in the evening IN
low neck and short sleeves; but at
morning she lieth in bed while her
mother hustleth.
When the sleigh bell tinkleth she
standeth at the window and yearneth
for "a beau, and when he cometh she
doeth up his purse. He wrappetb the
buffalo robe about her and huggeth
her much and stayeth cut beyond his
time and the livery man addeth four
good dollars to his bill.
In the evening he hieth himself
away to her fathers mansion: He GO
eth in and sitteth by the fire. and ere
he leaveth he poppeth the question :,
and she jumpeth at the chance.
He getteth his license and goeth
forth on the morning of his wedding
day, and employeth Cody man to
do the job, and when the sun setteth
he findeth himself married man.
Selahi
The robin nesteth again and he
clotheth himself in sackcloth and ash
es and runneth swiftly unto the gates
and knocketh, and telleth the doctor
that the wife of his bosom travaileth
much, and rusheth back egain.
The old mother prophesietha boy and
he jumpe'h up and down and crack
eth his heels together with joy; the
doctor speaketh words of wi dom a nd
cautioneth him not to ratify before the
returns are all in.
The night weareth YEARLY on and
the young man is impatient, but the
cid lady speaketh words of cheer and
propesieth yet again, and he bideth
his time and awaiteth his reward. A.
cry smiteth his ear and the drum
thereof, and he biteth his lip and
kicketh himself again as the old
woman poketh her head in the doo-
ard bringeth tidings of two girls.
