It was not until she had been his brothers
wife for several years that he heard at
all OF this marriage, seeming to him SO
extraordinarily incongruous and insult
able. He could not reconcile it with her

now that he had seen her once again in

He felt az if he could not bear to see

Lancelot Barksdale had q noble nature

This brief madness at an end, he would

At this moment in came Mrs. Barks-

the housemaid of the arrival of a guest,

kind, fastened in to do the honors. "My

Go West. Young Woman.

1t is marvellous, says the New York
World, that SO many young women
will consent TO spend the best part of
their lives behind counter or in an
Office in an overcrowded city like New

to them, where they can with little
industry and energy make not only q
comfortable home for themselves, but
sometimes fortunes as well. Travel
ing in any part of the West one meets
Eastern women who have gone there
and settled either upon Government
lands which they have taken up aud
which they have converted into cattle
or sheep ranches, or in the towns and
villages where they are making money
fast with their knowledge of music OF
art. A highly-educated woman from
Boston went to the Pacific coast few

all points he values for their part in
the perfect symmetry-thatt these were
all fixed in its day of usefulness as the
courier of royalty. But he is careful
to explain that he has counted out all
useful qualities and practical values in
the bird to-day; that the points he val
ues highest are those of development
of growth, to perfect which the bird is
carefully secluded from the deteriora-
ting influences of sun and outdoor air;
that the name is only applicable to it
for its elegant carriage. one OF It's most
valued and to be remarked properties;
that it is only the ignorant who could
confound the grand high class bird with
that little shaLlcss message-bcarer, the

The carrier has always been held in
the highest esteem in England. Moore,
writing in 1885, tells of a fancier IN

tried to implicate Gen. Moreau in Pr

Napoleon $ superior and was very pop

safe to express publicly any sympathy
with Moreau; SO his admirers quietly
agreed to nick their coat lappels to

Good Advice to Girls.

Women arc SO sharply taking rank
in all the avenues Of labor that the girl
of the next period is sure to be on
Lowell with man in all his opportunities.
This enlarging the boundaries of wo-
men is Of recent date, but it is as il by
magic that she has filled in the fields,
and as she stands aggressively before
the last barriers we have bit of coun-
sci to give the girls who will soon como
along rs rcinforcements. 1t has ceas-
cd to be q surprise that women manage
business enterprises. From the thrifty
hose-support factory in Waltham to the
immense reaper Industry in Chicago,
women are to DO found shaping sue
ccssful enterprises, and handling intri-
cate financial and business details with
all the confidence and sang froid Of the
most adept of males, so that in no
connting-room, office, or store is she
Ineligible, and to but very few Of the
shops or Work-roOms. This much Sc
cured, the promise for usefulness is in
any direction that her talent and abili-
ty may seek, with confidence that the
sex lines in America will only be dIawp
at manual labor.
The introduction of physics and
chemistry into our common and high
school studies, joined in by the chill
dren and youths of both sexes, is the
step by which the girl may go into high
er mathematics, and here. with all her
intutive love for detail and trivial d.
| emergencies, she may be trained into
the most intricate problems and be
graduated to survey. draught, engineer
or invent, and thus become a more
valuable aid in scientific and technical
affairs. That in fabric designs and
similar art work girls have peculiar
value is confessed. Then why not in
architecture and monumental design:
And if here, why not fill place with
the mechanical engineer and so bring
this painstaking business within hel
reach?
It is not SO clear cut that the girl,
now SO important in all light mechai-
cal work, will not in the future be
| found in our engine rooms and machine
shops. If the preponderance of this
sex continues, and the girls require
the competency sufficient, there is nc
reason TO doubt that any avocation she
may choose will not be available.
This, then. girls, is our counsel: II
