What Girls Can Do.

Girls are often impatient because
they can not 90 out into the world and
earn money; but sister or a daughter
may be as good as gold herself, and
render service which no amount of
gold could purchase. You have moth
ing to give to the family treasury in
the way of money, but you can give
an hour of patient care to your little
baby sister who is cutting her teeth.
You can give a string and a crooked
pin and good advice to the S-year-old
brother who wants to play at fishing.
You can do something to help Mary,
the old cook, or attend TO the door
while Ellen, the parlor- maid, goes
home for few hours to see her sick
mother. You can dress yourself so
neatly and look so bright and kind
and obliging that you will give your
mother thrill of pleasure whenever
she catches sight of your young, pleas
ant face. You can write letter to
your father when he is absent on bust
ness, i'll which you can put all the news
he wants in such frank, artless way
that he will thank his daughter in his
heart. You can give patient attention
to a long, tiresome story by your
grandmother, though you have heard
it many times before. You can laugh
just at the right time. and, when it is
ended, make the old lady happy by a
goodnight kiss.

Apprentices are not what they were.
Nowadays n young man comes along,
apparently very anxious to learn
the watch making trade. He will
promise almost anything to get you to
take him. Well, suppose ! think favor
ably of il aud decide to take him in.
We make an agreement TO continue
for three years, during which time he
promises TO work faithfully and
honestly. His first years wages are
of course, to be small. Everything be-
ing satisfactorily arranged, | begin to
teach all the rudiments, and eventually
give him watch to clean or set him
ut work replacing broken spring.
He succeeds with lots of coaching,
aud begins to feel rather proud Of
himself. As he progresses and be-
comes able TO clean a watch alone
and without any instruction, his pride
increases enormously, and he feels that
he is being greatly underrated and
that his employer does not appreciate
the treasure that he has in his work
man. He also begins to count up the
aggregate of the work turned out by
him during a day, and remembers
grudgingly that it all goes into his en-
ployer's pocket, while he receives only
a petty salary, as per agreement. He
never gives thought to the many
months when he was not only Kin
drance but direct loss TO his employ
ers. He can clean watch or clock,
replace broken string, put on new
pin-tongue, adjust crystal and do a
decent job of soldering. What more
can | learn, thinks he? Am not now
a full-iledged workman? So straig ht-
way he comes to me and demands a
iourneyman's wages. In vain | eN-
postulate with him and remind him OF
our agreement. He leaves me, and
the next act in the drama shows HIM
located in a shop of his own, with
a sign announcing himself as Il
graduate of mine; and when a man
comes to him with a watch to inquire
what the trouble is with it, the full
fledged matchmaker" makes a great
pretense of examining it and then
gravely announces that it requires
cleaning. because that is the most in
tricate work he has ever done.
Ihave had such experiences so often
that | have vowed never again to take
an apprentice. Country JeUeter IN

The Amazon OF the Kurds.

People just now in Constantinople
are interested in the presence among
them of Kara Fatma, the redoubtable
female warrior of Kurdistan, who has
come on a brief visit to the Turkish
capital. Her deeds of prowess date
back to the beginning of the Crimean
war, when she led large body of
Kurdish volunteers, who fought with
singular daring for Turkey. The OF
tOman government remembers her
services and requites these by a month
ly pension of 5000 piasters-a sum
that in her own frugal home allows
her to live with ease. She is tall, thin,
with a brown, hawk-liEe face; her
cheeks are the color of parchment and
scanned with scars. Wearing the ma
tional dress of the sterner sex she
looks like a man of 40, not like q wO-
man who will never again see 20.
Slung across her shoulders in Cossack
fashion is her long saber with its jew
elled hilt; decorations shine and
sparkle on her breast; while the stripes
across her sleeve show her to be a cap
tain in the Ottoman army. Watching
this interesting figure pass along the
streets of Stambul, one is reminded Of
an episode in the campaign of Gen.
Lespinasse in the Dobrudja some little
time before the allied armies landed in
the Crimea. While smoking and chat.
ting one day in his tent with several
of his brother officers the general
heard at far distance strange music,
a medley of drums and clarinets, tom
toms, and piercing human cries.
Whence came this weird minstrelsy?
All the men in camp turned out to lis
ten to it and discern its origin, when
from over the hills they saw band of
some three hundred horsemen APP
preaching them at full gallop. At
their head rode brOwn-faced woman,
with flashing eyes and lissome limbs;
the very picture of an Amazon.
Vaulting from her saddle, she gravely
saluted Gen. Lespinasse and through
an interpreter told him that she had
come to fight the Russians, both she
and her brave Kurds being completely
at his service. That night her men
were quartered in camp with the
French troops, but they were i'll
pleased to be so billeted. They wanted
their independence, and not even their
mistress or leader should barter it
away from them. By daybreak they
were in their saddles riding off across
the hills TO meet the dawn to the
sounds of that weird, strident music
which had proclaimed their approach.

Shooting at Burglars.

Early this morning as Mr.. Patterson
of the merchant police, was on Navarro
street, he noticed that light at the cor
ner bad been extinguished. Cautiously
working around he saw man handling
packing case in the rear Of Hannig's
furniture warehouse. He spoke TO him
and the man ran of. He then tried TO
halt him, but could not, and therefore
drew his pistol and fired four shots.
Neither Of the shots struck the man and
he managed 10 get clear away.
What the mans object WAS Is a mat
ter Of conjecture, but it is evident that
he was working the packing case in or
der to make ladder Of it, and 1t is con-
jeCtured that he, and others concealed,
were about TO rob place 10 the vicini-
ty, probably Hannig's store or Groos'
bank, which are adjacent.
