WOMAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
The GraY.Hair Puller.

Possibly the most unique method of
earning living known is that adopted
by big, rosy, twenty-year-old blonde,
who finds engagements with women just
lamenting their first gray hairs to weed
out, so to speak, those obnoxious re-
minders of advancing years. The gray.
hair paller is gentle in her methods OF
treatment and makes periodic visits at
intervals of few weeks, spending from
half an hour to two or three hours, let
ting down the hair, combing it out and
spying for tell-tale silver-threads. She
carries an innocent looking little reti-
cule which contains various glycerine
and rose water preparations for heal
ing application when the work of torture
has been done. 1t is not especially dis
agreeable work and it is said to pay
M~ York Mail and Express.

THREE KISSES OF FAREw ELL.

Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow;
Not like the swift and joyous ones
We used to know,
When we kissed because we loved each other
Simply to taste loves sweets,
And lavished our kisses as summer
Lavishes heats;
But as they kiss whose hearts are wrung
When hope and fear are spent.
And nothing is left to give except
A sacrament!
First of the three, my darling,
Is sacred unto pain
We have hurt each other often,
We shall again.
When we pine because we miss each other,
And do not understand
How the written words are so much colder
Than eye and hand.
j kiss thee, dear for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried, forgiven, before it comes,
For our loves sake.
The second kiss, my darling,
Is full Of joys sweet thrill
We have blessed each other always,
We always will.
We shall reach until we feel each other
Past all of time and space;
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place.
The earth is full of messengers
Which love sends to and fro;
] kiss thee, darling, for all joy
Which we shall know!
The last kiss, oh, my darling,
My love-I cannot see
Through my tears, as remember
What it may be.
We may die and never see each other,
> Die with no time to give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token of what they may not ses
Who see our dying breath
This one last kiss, my darling,
Seals the seal of death.
-Sors Holm.

Her First Pair of Earrings.

A correspondent writes to the JeNelerS
Weekly: IAN epoch in girls life is
when she has her cars pierced for the
first pair of earrings. Pm the father Of
a family myself, and | know. The first
question always is how to get the cars
punched.
1.-The elder sister volunteers to under
take it, and the entire family gathers to
witness the operation. The mother
holds the trembling hands Of the willing
victim. One of the boys gets an auger
and is dri en- from the room with re.
proofs. Then sister comes with the
needle. She is shaking from head to
foot. She sets the point of the little in
strument in the velvet flesh, lets out a
little spnrt of blood and quietly fa:nts.
1t is evident that the operation will have
to be conducted by some one of less
tender sensibilities.
"At last happy thought strikes the
father, and he calls upon jeweler with
his daughter.
"I would like to get my daughter a
pair of solitaires,' he says to the clerk,
but, unfortunately, her ears are not
pierced
'The clerk smiles, stands behind her,
and pinches each little ear till it is white.

A Woman Doctor in China.

We stand in jeopardy of our lives at
every operation, writes woman physi-
clan from China, to the Sacramento
(Cal.) Bee: Recently man died here
after an operation had been performed
on him by one of my associate physi-
clans. We all came near being killed in
consequence. The natives came out in
large numbers and tried to storm the
hospital. They threw sticks and stones
and threatened to burn it down. We
were only saved by good fortune. A
messeng ger, a converted native, managed
to get out unobserved. and ran as fast as
DO :ssble to q settlement some distance
away, where he brought tidings of our
dangerous position. A Land of de"out
converts was at once organized anil came
over as fast Us possible to our rescue.
We thought at first there wonld be a
conflict between them and the indignant
natives, but fortunately the latter were
altogether unorganized and frightened
by the determined front presented by our
friends.
The lady who performed the operation
was escorted to place of safety, and we
then brcathed more freely. For more
than two weeks afterward, however, we
were compelled to suspend all operations,
and thereafter found it very difficult to
get the consent of the natives to our at
tending upon their sick. In fact we
find it very rarely that we can operate at
all uron a heather Chinaman. Even the
Christian Chinaman appears to be reluc-
tant to accept our services, though they
are usually free.

we were concealed by the fog, another
discharge tore off q corner of the raft and
killed two more men. l could hear the
shouts and cheers Of my shipmates, and
l knew we were one of the last parties
to withdraw from the attack. The
schooner had come out of it very hand
somcly. having, rs soon learned, in
flictcd terrible damage on the pirates.
After getting away from the vessel we
were Joined by boats and RATS carrying
nearly hnndred men, and good third
of these were wounded. All made for
the entrance of the bay. and it was only
when out of cannon shot that the fury of
the pirates over their body rcpulse
broke loose. My presence seemed to be
forgotten for the time, and it was luz ky
for me that such was the case. There
were several fights among the survivors
on our raft, and it appeared that all those
in authority had been killed.
In about IN hour after getting out of
the bay, and all the time progressing
slowly to the north, under paddle, We ran
into the mouth Of the creek and landed
in a vi!iage, the inhabitants of Which
were awake and alert. My feet were un-
tied and was roughly jerked to Stand
ing position, and when it became known
through the village that a prisoner had
BEN taken the excitement increased to
fever heat. But for very old man, who
was probably superannuated chief, 1
should have been cut to shreds at the
first rush. Everybody but this old man
seemed to have an insatiate desire TO kill
me, and why he should try to prevent
them was a. mystery to me. However.

cooled down, and then made them a

crotched limb was driven into the ground
a few yards in front of my hut. Then a
long, stout poe was laid in the crotch.
