Women Ushers.

A lady correspondent writing from
Paris notes with interest how in Europe
women fill positions which in America
are reserved for men. 1t is q woman
not man-who ushers you to your seat
in'the hippodrome, places comfortable
stool at your feet, for which she returns
to collect gratuity half an hour later.
In many of the theatres women have
charge of the sale of seats in the box
Office. They wear dainty white muslin
caps with great red or blue satin bows
on them, and in their neat gowns add
much to the decorative effect. II you
drop the smallest article they will restore
it to you. Just before leaving the thea
tre the other evening one of the ladies in
our party discovered that she had lost
her eye glasses. "You will find them at
the box-ofice," said the young lady who
had brought us our footstools. The
owner was re.,oiced, for, as she had been
promenading in the foyer, she supposed
the glasses had been trampled upon. The
saying: "Nothingis is ever lost in Paris" I"
fell true in her case.

Wonders Of Smelling.

James MITCHELL who died in or about
1888, in the county of Nairn, in Scot
land, and was born blind, on November
II, 1795, recognized, says the "World
of Wonders" different persons by smell
ing. The famous Mr.. Moyle mentions
a Blind man at Utrecht who could dis.
tinguish different metals by the different
odors; and Martias records the case OF
q person named Mamurra, who could
tell by smelling whether copper was true
Coriuthian or not. Indian travellers have
recorded that certain natives who hab.
itually abstained from animal food have
a sense of smelling which is so exquis-
itcly delicate that they can tell from
which we'll vessel of water has been
obtained. 1t has been related that by
smell alone the negroes of the Antilles
will detect the footsteps Of Frenchman
from those of negro. Marce Marci has
left an account OF monk IN Prague who
could tell by smelling anything given to
him who had last handled it. The guides
who accompany travellers in the route
from Aleppo to Babylon will tell by
smelling the desert sand how near they
are to the latter place. Nathaniel Wanley
in his "Wondcrs of the Little World"
q famous old book, gives particularly
full account of a man called John of
Liege, who, when a boy flying in terror
of soldiers in time of war, passed many
wears alone in the depths of the forest
of Ardennes, where he lived upon roots
and wild fruits, the presence of which
he could at last detect from a great dis
tance by the SIN Ill alone. In the same
way he detected the presence of men long
before they came in sight.

W0MAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.

The Song of tho Farmers Wife.
Monday is for washing,
Tuesday Is for ironing,
Wednesday is for Dlending and putting
clothes away;
Thursday is for churning,
Friday is for baking,
Saturday is always the grand cleaning day.
But then there is the breakfast,
And the dinner and the tea to get;
Besides, there is the milking to be done each
night and morn;
The hens to feed, the knitting,
The sweeping and the bread to set,
And the carding o. the wool when the pretty
sheep are shorn.
There is never any ending.
But always work beginning,
From early Monday morning till Saturday
at night;
But oftentimes I find,
II merry song I'm singing,
My heart is gay and happy, then all my
work seems light.

Betsy Patterson's Mule Ride.

Springfield, Md, was laid out by Will
liam Patterson, tho great Baltimore mer-
chant, 80 famous for his commercial af-
fairs in the early part of the present CEN
tury. 1t was in Springfield that Eliza
beth (or Betsy Patterson first heard of
the arrival of Prince Jerome, the brother
of the great Bonapa:te, in America. She
was living out there with her father
when the grand ball was to be given in
Baltimore to the young prince and his
associates. She begged her father to be
allowed to 60 to town for the ball, but
he not only refused to take her, but
locked up all the horses and her dresses.
Her determination to captivate and
marry the young prince, with the aid of
her matchle.s beauty, was too we'll set
tied to be prevented by her fathers Or
ders, and, mounting mule in her COM
mon house dress, and accompanied by a
colored servant, who carried her ball
dress on another mule, she set out after
dark on her twcnty-mile ride over the
Liberty road for Baltimore. While the
ball was at its height she arrived, won
the princes heart, and brought upon
herself all the seventy years of woe and
trouble that she suffered after the Empe-
ror refused, in defiance of the Pope's
decision, to recognize her as his sister
in-law. The weak prince finally refused
to recognize his wife, and married again.
Nine. Bonaparte returned to Maryland,
and, after obtaining a divorce from the
Legislature of her native State, she lived

Seal Hunting.

Seal hunting on the ice is another
standing source of amusement, says a
Hudson Bay letter to the Toronto Mail.
During the entire winter these animals
keep holes open through the shore ice,
but on account of the depth of the snow
they are rot seen until the mild weather
exposes their hiding places. The Eskimo.
however, has way of finding them out
before this. He harnesses dog, that
has been trained for the work, and leads
him out to the snow cove; ed field, where
the two walk back and forward, max
ing zigzag course over the ice. Prob
ably before long the dog catches the
scent, and then takes his master straight
to the seals house. Under the hard
thick crust of the snow there is quite q
large room, which at the time of discov-
cry may or may not be occupied, but If
occupied, will very soon be vacant on
the arrival of the hunters. In either
case, the Eskimo ascertaias by means Of
his spear the exact position of the hole,
and then, placing little pinnacle OF
snow ov<r it awaits the arrival OF his VIC
tim. The native becomes aware of the
seals return by hearing peculiar blow
ing noise, and as soon as this commences he
thrusts his spear down vertically through
The snow into the hole and secures his
prev. Sometimes when the snow IS very
deep the dogs arc not abe to find the
holes, and then it is that the poor Eski-
mo has his hard times.
In the spring, snow disappearing from
the ice, the seals are exposed to view.
Then the huattr takes another way of
getting at them. First of all he notices
the direction of the wind, and then keep
ing his enemy in it walks to within four
or five hundred yards Of him. From
there he begins 10 crouch down and to
advance only when the seal is not look
ing. The wary animal is in the habit OF
throwing up his head quickly every few
seconds and looking about, and so, when
within about two hundred yards, The ma
tive lies down flat on the ice. 1t IS only
now that rcll sport commences. Seal
takes Eskimo, who is able to talk sell
perfectly, to be one Of his brothers; and
indeed there is q great deal Of resemblance
between the species, for the genus homo
is dressed in sealskin, and, living largely
upon its flesh, is similarly odorous. The
two lie on the ice for perhaps half an
hour, keeping up a sort Of broken CON
versation, part Of which is conducted in
the ordinary way and part by means ol
| pcculiar gestures, until the Eskimo has
crept to within about thirty yards of his
| outwittcd companion. The animals eye,
then being clearly visible, is no sooner
turned from the hunter than he presents
his rifle and fires. The seal, II shot
through the head, is killed Instantly; but
| if hit in any other place defeats his
enemy by disappearing through the ice.

ODerating in q Balloon.

At popular festival recently held at
Sedan, France, q balloon was about to
rise when at the last moment the aeronaut
announced that the ascent would have to
be postponed, as he was suffering from a
dreadful toothache, which drove him
almost to distraction. At this statement
a gentleman pushed through the crowd,
saying: Il am dentist, and have got
nv case of instruments in my pocket; {;
let me 90 with you, and if the pain does
not cease will undertake to extract the
tooth" Two hours later the balloon re-
turned to earth, and the aeronaut related
with radiant countenance that the den.
tist had drawn his tooth with great skill
at an altitude Of 5000 feet.

Temperance in Tennessee.

''Prohibition is about to become the
great issue in Tennessee, and the indi-
cations are that that State will join in
the Prohibition ranks next year." says
the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. 1t is
absolutely out of politics, as both par
ties hold the same position concerning it.
The platforms of both the Democratic
and Republican Conventions, which NOM
mated the Taylor brothers, declare in
favor Of submitting the question to the
vote of the people of the State, and the
next Legislature can scarcely do other
wise than this. The last State Legisla-
ture adopted an amendment to the State
Constitution forbidding the manufacture
or sale of any spirituous or malt liquors
as beverage. By constitutional re-
euirement any amendment to the Con-
stitution must first be adopted by one
Legislature, and then, by two.thirds
vote of the next, must be submitted to
the people for ratification. AS this pro-
hibitory amendment for Tennessee has
already passed the first channel toward
becoming law, great interest centres in
the next turn. If two.thirds of the next
Legislature 80 vote, the people will vote
on the question probably next spring. 1t
is said that the State will 60 overwhelm-
ingly for Prohibition"

Burden Bearers of Morocco.


T trust it will be pardoned me if, with
but slight transition, l pass from the
donkey of Morocco to the women there
of. Those who know Tangier will un-
derstand that there is no discourtcsy in
tended against the sex which, in Europe,
we are apt to call the weaker, but which
he shares with these other Tatient
creatures, the ass and the camel, the
bearing of all burdens. If you walk
along the bay at Tangier (Which, by the
way, is one of the most splendid st ands
imaginable), you will meet drove' of
women each carrying enormous bundles
of grass or charcoal for market; the haik
covers their heads and their burdens,
the weight of which is usually further
supplemented by baby in kcrchief,
slung polch-wise about her somewhere
whe there is room. This trat, which
aln,ost seems borrowed from the kanga-
roo, is the invariable way OF carrying
baby, and the women work and wash,
wearing Their babies in this marsup al
fashion as naturally as some primitive
Australian animal would, did it but work
and wash; and in the streets, too, under
the white haiks of the townswomen, one
sees bulging out the little skulls OF in
fants, as in Donnybrook, in the old days,
when the crowns of ovcrtaken revetcrs,
showing through the canvas tents, be-
came irresistible spheres of attraction to
passing shillalahs. But to return to our
women, who are trudging along the

is generally donkey who shares the
loads pretty fairly with the two ladies,

Temperance Notes.

The salutary effects of Prohibition in
Rhode Island begin to appear in the Grim
inal statistics.
The prohibition women of the West seem
to be in earnest. Mrs. Samuel Warren, of
Maquoketa, in prohibition Iowa, stepped
into saloon where her husband was
drinking, grabbed glass of beer from
his hand, and captured enough of the
beverage to convict the saloon keeper,
who paid $50 and costs.

of carrying their mutual lord and mas
ter, who sits up between the grass-woven
baskets with a digniaed unconsoiousness
of any calls of gallantry. Indeed, I be-
lieve the ladies would feel it utterly un-
be6tting and indecent were their posi-
tions reversed, and I believe that even
the donkey bred in Mohammedan usages
would resent it. I think 1 have only
once seen y country-woman riding while
one of the nobler sex walked, but in this
case she was evidently too old to get.
home otherwise.
