that they have paid for works of decorative
art produced by women over half million
dollars; by no means small amount when
the length of time and novelty of the
work to the American public are
considered. There is no class of work for
which women who are physically or by
circumstances untitled for active work i'll
the world are better adapted. Lace-mak-
ing, painting, embroidering, tapestry weav-
ing, modelling and carving, can be as well
done in the mountains of North Carolina
as in New York city. OF course, eXpe-
rience is required to know what sort OF
work is desirable, but the several societies
supply that information as far as possible.
Provided that women have good taste in
design, and deft hand to execute, the
field of decorative art affords them rare
chances for making names and money at
the least yeXatiOn and expense.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A lady correspondent gives the following
instructive hints on the all-important sub
.iect of popping the question: Never pro-
pose TO d girl who has been out driving the
day or the evening before with another man.
Women have not the versatility of men, and
cannot as readily turn from one object to
another. Never propose to a woman who
has recently rejected some one else.
Woman is naturally sympathetic, and in
refusing protfered love she instinctively, al
most unconsciOuSly. dev0teS herself to a
life of celibacy. She should be carefully
watched until the reaction takes place, and
then she becomes even better prepared than
before to lend attention to a declaration. If
she has been engaged and the relation has
been dissolved. the lover may even be a
little careless III the selection of his time
To a girl once engaged an engagement be-
comes a necessity, and she is prepared at
almost any moment to listen fayorably to
an advantageous proposition. To propose
10 a girl in her own home in the afternoon
Is madness. and if the excursion fails the
inevitable deduction is that for such girl
the evening is the only time that promises
any possibility of success. It is a work of
supererogation to dwell on evening decara-
tons. Every man understands them, and
he has only to make the most cursory eX-
animation as to the health of the subject
before trusting his ambition to words. :
The Baby was There.
The husband of nervous Chicago lady
had occasion to be down town late at night.
She didn't want him to think she was jeal-
Gus. but she determined to scare him. One
night or, as he admitted, one morning, he
came in. He was careful to remove his
boots and apparel quietly and with care, so
that she might not be disturbed. She had
one eye on him all the while. He slipped
into bed, and after an hour of feigned sleep
he heard his wife get up. It was his time
to eye her. He saw her 90 to the cradle.
take the baby out and carry it into an adj
joining room. Returning she sought her
couch. After awhile she went to sleep and
he got up. He went after the baby, brought
it back and put it in its place. He went to
bed, and some time after she aroused him
with a scream. The house had been en-
tered by burglars and the baby had been
kidnapped, and that's what came of his
staying out late at night. He said she was
mistaken, but she insisted, and the two
arose together and rushed to the cradle.
There was the baby just as he had said
She looked at him and said it was dream.

Pigeon Catching in the Soudan.

Miss Sartorius, in her book on the
Soudan and Egypt, says: Every village
has its pigeon houses, looking like great
mud cones, and in the evening the
owners 90 out and call them in. But
when a man wants to get hold of extra
pigeons, instead of calling them he
frightens the pigeons away. They dc
not understand this, keep circling
above, and swoop down now and then
toward their houses. Other pigeons,
seeing this commotion, join them. and
as soon as the man sees there are
enough he hides. The whole of the
birds, old and new, then 90 into the
house, and the man returning shuts
them in. This would be fine business
if it were not that all of them DO the
same thing, and, therefore, each gets
caught in his turn. They know TINS
perfectly well, but no Egyptian 1elah
could resist the temptation of cheaing
his neighbor"

AT THE RINK.

Mr.. Jonathan Flynn and.his sweetheart, Kate,

And all said: go, my?'

Then Jonathan Flynn thought twas time to

Feeling sure of success, he determined to try

MEETING

OF the Board of Commissioner to Elect n
Poor Farm superintendent.
The Board of County Commissioners has
been called to meet in special session next
Monday morning at ten o'clock for the pur-
pose OF electing a successor to Captain
Plankey, at present Superintendent of the
County Infrmary. The question Of going
into an election to fill the Office for the en-
suing term came up before the Board at its
regular monthly meeting on Monday last,
but the Board refused, by q tie vote OF five
to five, to proceed to a ballot, and the
matter was allowed to 60 over, with the in
tention of bringing it up at the next regular
meeting. This course was pursued in the
hope that by hat time Captain Plankey
would have so far recovered as to warrant
his reelection to the Office, his administra
ton of affairs at the in6rmary having been
eminently satisfactory to the county author
tiles. Unfortunately, however, Captain
Plankey has come to the conclusion that
there can be no relief from his s~uferings
within the short time to elapse before the
expiration OF his term, and he has therefore
prepared his resignation, which will be
placed in the hands of the clerk OF the
Board this morning.
Captain Plankey has the sympathy of the
entire community in his affection, and all
wish for him final recovery and a restora-
ton to active life.

RINK NOTES.

The Chapline street rink has received 100
pairs of Fenton skates, ladies and children's
sizes, and can now accommodate all.
A pleasant private skating party was

Messrs. Henry Meyers and Sidney Van

The Mother Hubbard skating carnival,
which takes place next Tuesday evening at
the Capitol rink, promises to be the funniest
thing ever seen on wheels or off. The rink
band will lead the grand march on skates,
all the members being dressed IN Mother
Hubbards, and in fact every one partlcipat.
ing will wear a Mother Hubbard. 1t will
be iunny-very funny. Two hundred have

About thirty young folks from Wheeling
went down to Bellaire Thursday night to
| take in the skating rink. 1t seems they
paid more attention to counting than to get

night. Boys, you should not do so.
A delightful private skating party was
given at the Chapline street rink last night,
after the regular session, it being the second
party given by the Wheeling skating club.
The affair was enjoyed hugely by the
participants, and at about one o'clock a re-
past of sandwiches and coffee was served
which added zest to the enjoyment. The
young gentlemen in charge deserve great
credit for the pleasant manner in which
everything passed of.
The Capitol rink was filed chock full last
night, and many were compelled to leave on
account of not being able to get even stand
ing room. The occasion was the party
given by the nailers and fremen Of the
city for beneficial purposes. The first
on the programme was a green
race, and was won by Sam Johnson, of the
Belmont, who received a very suitable prize,
contributed by Nesbitt & Bro. The next
race was won by A. Shore, of the Top mill,
and the prize was a handsome skating suit,
the cap being furnished by C. H. Dinger,
coat by d. Gundling and shoes by J. W.
Amick.

|. g. Dillon. In the free for-all race AL.

prize given by W. N. Lynch, the shoe man.
The aisir was a grand success, probably
several hundred dollars being realized above
all expenses, and the gentlemen in charge
of the affair deserve great credit and praise.
A pleasant masked party was given by a
number of young folks at the Island rink,
last night, which was a great success.
