Society in the South.

The society girl here has no more tc
say than a northern belle, but she says
it better. ConverSationally. as in
every other way, she Is graceful, arch,
and in excellent taste. She is not
eloquent, but her eyes are. and the
thick play of light and shadow in her
face, the unobtrusive action of her sug-
gestive little hands, and the ever
changing emphasis and infection of
soft-syllabled words, put world of
meaning into her most ordinary re-
marks. The only respect in which her
haste is questionable is her unlimited
use of cosmetics. | have yet to meet a
pretty girl who does not endeavor to
enhance her beauty and succeed in
fastening its destruction, by the assist
ance of the powder puff-or a married
woman, or an old maid! They all do
it. If you keep your face clean you
are a Northerner and a barbarian

Why the Baby Doesn't Walk.

One inquiry which is often asked the
physician is: ''Why does not my baby
walk?" In answer we may say, first
of all, that delay in walking does not
necessarily imply physical disease or
weakness. A child's disposition may
have much to do with it; courage and
self-confidence make the infant for
ward, while timidity will make him
backward. The example of other, es-
pecially older, children stimulates the
enterprise of an infant; while, on the
other hand, too constant attention
from nurses relieves an indolent child
from the necessities of exertion. When
the tardiness passes beyond the ordi-
nary limits it may be due to some
weakness, either natural to the child
or perhaps the result of some definite
disease. Any severe ailment may en-
tail such debility as to interrupt the
natural development of the child in
this direction. Even the process of
denttion may have such an effect

A Queer Sort of Schoolgirl.

One of the most singular cases of
vision on record is found in the fourth
grade OF our schools, in the person Of
Belle Kinney, little girl II years Of
age. Shortly after entering school her
teacher. Miss Ella Ely. discovered that
she always read with her book upside
down, and that while writing she in
variably placed the copy in the same
position and wrote backward, with the
letters inverted ana with her left hand.
Not knowing whether to attempt COR
rection of the habit, the teacher sent
for Dr.I. n. Hamilton, one of our prom
inent physicians and Pre- ident of the
Board Of Education, who tested her
thoroughly yesterday with figures, pict-
ures, reading and writing, and discov-
cred that she was equally skillful with
her books in any position, although the
child herself had never particularly no.
ticed her popularity, but expressed a
desire to use her books as others do.
The doctor says it is the most remarka-
ble case of the kind of which he ever
heard -Maryscitie Letter TO the Cincifs-

And with these words, which implied
that his wife's wardrobe would soon
rival Queen Victoria's. the stranger
tore down the passageway again, and
getting in his old corner, where he
thought himself out of sight, went
through the strange pantomime, laugh
ing, putting his mouth into the drollest
shape, and then swinging himself back
and forth in the limited space as if he
were walking down Broadway" a
full-rigged metropolitan belle.
So on we rolIed into the depot, and /
placed myself on the other car, oppo-
site the stranger, who with a portman-
teau in his hand, descended and was
standing on the lowest step ready to
jump to the platform.
| looked from his face to the faces of
the people before US, but saw no sign
of recognition. Suddenly he cried:
There they are.
Then he laughed outright, but in a
historical way, as he looked over the
crowd. l followed his eye, and saw
some distance back, as if crowded out
and shouldered away by the we'll
dressed and elbowing throng, a little
woman in a faded dress, and we'll
worL hat, with face almost painful in
its intense but hopeful expression,
glancing rapidly from window to win
dow as the coaches rapidly glided in.
She had not seen the stranger, but a
moment after she caught his eye, and
in another instant he had jumped to
the platform with his two portman-
teaus, and making hole in the crowd,
pushing one here and another there,
and running one of his bundles plump
into the well-developed stomach of a
venerable-looking old gentleman in
spectacles, he rushed tow ard the place
where she was standing. | think L
never saw a face assume so many diff
erent expressions in so short a time as
did that of the little woman while her
husband was on his way to her.
She didn't look pretty-on the con-
trary, she looked very plain; but some
how | felt big lump rise in my throat
as | watched her. She was trying to
laugh, but, God bless her, how COM
pletely she failed in the attempt! Her
mouth got into position. but it never
moved after that save to draw down at
the corners and quiver, while she
blinked her eyes so fast that | expect
she only caught occasional glimpses of
the broad-shouldered man pushing his
way so rapidly toward her. And, then,
as he drew close and dropped those
everlasting portmanteaus, she just
turned completely round, with her
back toward him, and covered her face
with her hands. And thus she was
when the strong man gathered her up
in his arms as if she had been baby,
and held her sobbing to his breast.
There were enough gaping at them,
heaven knows, and | turned my eyes
away for moment, and then | saw
two boys in threadbare, roundabouts
standing near, wiping their eyes and
noses on their little coat sleeves. and
bursting out anew at every demonstra-
ton on the part of their mother.
When | looked at the stranger again,
he had his hat drawn over his eyes; but
his wife was looking up at him, and it
seemed as if the pent-up tears of those
weary months of waiting were stream
ing through her eyelids.

Costly Fancies in Whips.

Y'What is the latest thing in whips?'
asked reporter, as he entered the Of
fee of well-known manufacturer in
West Thirty-third street.
''Well, English holly holds its own
yet" replied the maker of the scourges.
English holly or yew. with a light
lash. For a gentleman whip to go
with a dog cart this is very neat
thing" holding up whip whose stock
was of native whaleboEe, polished and
mottled, with an ebony handle and
gold mountings. THAT will cost you
about S35. Here's neat one for about
twice the money. Not so much gold
on it, but the handle is a species of
basket-work, formed of whalebone in
terwoven. The highest-priced whips
run up to 500 or S125. They are
sticks which nature has shaped to the
hand, crabbit-sticks, as they are called
by the trade. This is a four-in-hand
whip, a holly stock, with sixteen
foot lash of horse-hide."
.sIsn't that what the novelists call
the irony of fate, to whip an animal
with lash made from the skin of his
own species?" asked the reporter.
"Yes, suppose so, but all lashes are
made of horse-hide now. Buckskin is
about played OUT
''How long since the old-style whale
bone whip went out of fashion?"
"Well. that's hard to say. You see
the change was gradual. l got the
first order for holly sticks in "a from
Syracuse. To fill it / got every one
there was in New York-just three
and l wouldn't pick 'em up to-day ii 1
saw them lying in the street. they
were so big and clumsy. Malacca-
cane and whange-w-h-a-n-g-e-yes,
that's right-are used a good deal now;
in them you get length and strength
with lightness. A good whip OF En-
glish holly or yew costs about SG.
hose things that you are looking at in
the case are English hunting-crooks.
No man who respects himself will be
seen on horseback without one. This
loop of white kid on the end is the
keeper. When an Englishman rides to
the hounds he has long lash attached
to the keeper, with which he Furnishes
the hounds when necessary. As there are
no hounds in Broadway or in the park,
we dispense with the lash but retain
the keeper. The hunting crook has al
together taken the place of the riding
whip, which is now only used by ladies.
The highest-priced riding-whip we
have made in sixty years of business
cost $500
Before going the reporter was shown
through the factory, where were whips
in all stages of preparation. In one
corner was machine which upon turn
ing the crank moves a web more intri-
cate than that of the fates. This fur
nishes the covering for the whalebone
whips. These are formed by glueing
four pieces of wood about long strip
of whalebone. The whole is then
worked down to the requisite size and
taper, after which it is put through the
covering-machine and comes out full
fedged whip.-N. Y. Tribune.

The Good Old Mothers.

God bless all the good old mothers.
l never see an old lady sitting in the
armchair at her ease but l think what
storms have pelted into the CHEEKY face
without souring it. 1t may be that a
man can 60 through more exertion than
woman, but at least it remains true
that he cannot without losing his laugh
ter, his good cheer, his gentleness and
his love and trust in mankind or God.
Yet how rarely do you find frail old
mother whose spirit has been worn
threadbare and unlovely by what she
has endured. A sweet old mother is
common; sweet old father is not so
common. As thy day so thy strength
OF love, thy riches of an inexhaustible
benevolence and hope and faith. This
is more apt to be woman's history than
q man's.-Boston Ec::s Iearnol.

Female Cattie-Herders.

At the Gait House yesterday tall,
lank, slim man, with high cheek-bones,
piercing black eyes and dark, bushy
mustache, scrawled his name in the
register prof. w. Zurana, Austin,
Tex" Glad to give any information
| can," said the lank stranger, as the
reporter told his mission. Il am here
only for few hours. My home is be-
tween Austin and San Marcos, in the
hills that stretch along the valley of
San Antonio. Aside from the stories
of the growth of that portion of the
country | s'pose there's nothing that
would interest so much as the facts |
can give you about the cattle girls Of
our region"
The reporter smiled and the Texan
continued.
II know that there is an air of SEEM
ing improbability about this, but it is
nevertheless fact that there exists in
the hills ranging along from San Mar
COS to San Antonio from thirty to fifty
cattle girls. Some of them belong to the
best families of that part of the state.
Some of them to the worst. They are,
however, the finest riders of the west,
and can whoop up herd OF ponies
better than the Mexicans. They have
leader, brunette, with long black
hair, that cracks like a whip when she
is riding They own from 400 to 500
head of steers. They have only been
there two seasons. The leader came
from Oklahoma territory, and was said
to be fast friend of the Oklahoma
outlaw, Payne. Cody attempted to
get the girls to join the Wild West
show, but it was no go. They can often
be seen on the streets of Austin, though
they are never known to stay in town
over night They have number of
frame cottages built for them about ten
miles from San Marcos by some Scotch
settlers. Of course they afford our
part of the Lone Star state good deal
of romantic talk.-LOuiSUiiIe Courier

A Breach of Promise Case Fails.

A young woman in California recent
ly sued the young man she had been
engaged to for breach of promise.
Everything went on well. Her attor-
ney read the usual letters;read the gush
for the amusement of the audience in
the courtroom, gave the amatory
statistics-the usual nuember of times
he used darling" the number of times
he wanted to kiss her." "look in her
dear eyes, and ''hold her in his arms
in fond embrace" The lawyer was
sure that he had ''caught on to every
man on the jury. The defendant was
an amateur photographer. His sole re-
sponse was photograph of the young
woman sitting on sofa with another
fellows arm about her waist. This
was unexpected. The amateur photo
grapher, suspecting all was not right,
pretended to go out of town one even

arranged with clock-work for taking a
picture in the girls house. Verdict for
the defendant.-Detrou Free Press.

A London paper offered prize for
the best poem on the number of days in
the months on the plan of Thirty
days hath September, April, June and
November" The winner was an in
genious bard who, in rhyme, counted
the months on his knuckles, beginning
January with the knuckle of the little
finger, February between the little fin
ger and the third finger, March the
knuckle of the third finger, and so on,
July being the knuckle of the forefin-
ger, then going back to the little finger
for August, ending with December on
the knuckle of the second finger. 1t
will be noticed that this method of
counting brings all the long months, or
months with thirty-one days, on the
knuckles. while the short months are
counted between the fingers.

healthy skin. At length my turn came
about, except that he was still there.
Again he came to an upright posture,
