4 Craze .In.o,.y tie Girls.

1T beats all, exclaimed the manager
OF an intelligence Office, chow this craze
among the girls to be writer's and
stenographers keeps up. It seems as
II all the girls in the country had de.
termlned to work in Offices, and as if
they had formed an anti-houschold So
clety, with death as the penalty for yio-
iation of the rule. 1t has got so now
that good photographers have difficulty
OF getting morethan Sc week, and
many competent girls work for even
less. On the other hand there is no
alfhculty in good places for girls in
families at from IS to Sc week, which
OF course includes their board and lodg-
ing in good home. The secret of the
whole thing is that girls as rule are
ambitious, and had rather starve at
some employment which gives them q
chance tc make a good marriage than
do we'll at work which, according to
their notions, assures them nothing but
blanks in the matrimonial lottery. Til
tell you what society needs, and needs
badly, and that is movement among
the eligible young men by which they
each shall pledge himself to marry, if
nc marries at all, none but young
lady engaged ut housework. either help
ing her mother or working out per
day. just as long as the girls think
they lower themselves in the estima-
ton of the other sex by engaging as
domestics just SO will there be dearth
of girls for houseworl and an over
crowding in oil other fields. "-Chicago

THE NATTER OF VISITING CARDS.

Nothing so easily lowers the social
status of a woman whose position is
already assured as a cheap visiting
card. 1t is fact that card enters
into the social economy of every
woman, and when a lady receives one
from visitor it indicates to a certain
extent what degree of refinement she
has reached. Every house has its card
basket, and ladies have a peculiar way
of looking over the names contained
therein and making comments. In
truth, it is natural to do so, for try
yourself on your own card basket and
see if you do not become critical. I
have had one or two cases where a
caller handed in printed card, and it
came as a shock. Such thing has
long gone out of date, and printed
card would be the height of impro-
priety. Again, if l received large
card would consider it improper. The
greatest care should be exercised by
ladies in the selection Of visiting cards.
Only the best engraving in neat SIM
pie letter press is allowed. Again, a
lady always puts Mrs. or Miss on her
card, and it is now the proper thing for
gentlemen to put Mr.. on their cards.

PRIZE Packages WITH COFFINS.
The prize package idea has got into
the coffin business at Buffalo, its adj
vent following the breaking of monopo-
ly in mortuary receptacles. For long
time prices for collins were away up,
undertakers combining to "bull"
prices. Undertakers who refused to
enter the league were boycotted and
found it hard to get collins at any
price. Then a Rochester firm
entered the market as ''bear," cut
prices and the ring was broken. Now
a Cleveland firm has established an
agency there, and offers prizes to pro-
mote the business. A chrome with
your coffin and an extra coffin for any
one getting up a club will probably be
the next idea.

ga FRIEND OF NINE.
The Law Which Encirclcs the Entire

Globe
Travellers who have conc "far countries
for to see" say they find human nature
pretty much the same all the world over.
They find wide variance in color OF skin,
in physical contour, in mental Characters
tics, but in the essential elements that con-
troll social conduct, the human family is
brotherhood.
The law. unwrittcn. found in no statute
book. enforced by no court dccrccs, but
having an influence circumscribed only by
the limits of earthly space. is the law of
kindness.
Among peoples where cruelty 20 human
kind is almost IL fixed habit. who are relent-
less foes. and as friends scarcely less to be
dreaded, whose savage natures revel in
fendish atrocities, there yet fingers the
spark Of divinity which lifts man above the
beasts.
Sorrow melts tho human heart wherever
found, and sympathy mingles its tears with
not dwell. there lives no thing, Of human
the whole world kin"
What q terrible world this would be to
live in were it not for the sympathy and
loving kindness shown us when sorrow
comes. for it is decreed that in all lives
some days must be dark and dreary."
The 10000 and more voluntary testimon-
ials the propretors of Warmers safe cure
have received in regard to the efficiency of
in a peculiar manner. The great majority
Of them acknowledge that it was through
some kind friend who. in pity for their SUI
ferng. had made known to them the Won

put ashore from his ship to die Of u fever
resulting from kidney and liver trouble. and
as physicians could not help him. there
seemed no hope for him. But he saws "A
friend Of mine. who happened into port
came to see me. and urged me to begin the
use of Warmers safe cure" He began to
use it as his friend advised. and was cured
in Il very short time.
How many men there arc to-day in the
world, rounding out lives of usefulness
making the world happier and better. who
would have long since passed to the other
shore, had it not been for the loving kind
ness of friends, shown in this practical way
as these testimonials from allpuarters 81

Disc0ntcsafed Uiccs.

Why is it that so many women of So
cial culture are unhappy in their mar
ried life and disconnected with their
husbands?
Is it not because the pursuits and oc-
equations of husbands are apt to unfit
them to share the tastes and pleasures
Of wives who have the ambition and
leisure to perfect themselves in the
ces and accomplishments OF our ele-
CUNT society? AS many a foreigner of
cultivation has observed, and as every
body familiar with our social life must
be aware, the women here are gener.
ally superior to the men in polish,
nicely of adaptation to their surround,
ings, and even in education, especially
so far as concerns the more refined
tastes in art and literature. This is
because the women have so much more
time and so many more opportunities
to acquire what is requisite to Guilt
walton and refinement. The husband
must rush down town early in the
morning and spends his day in the
rough.and-ready contest for money,
while the wife remains at home with
ample leisure to expend the money he
wins for her use in gratifying her de-
sires for solid or superficial accom-
plishments and social pleasure and ex-
perience. OF course he is likely to
fall behind her in such cultivation, and
the longer lie delves and she profits by
the opportunities his wealth secures for
her, the greater the gulf between them
in that respect She is an elegant
woman of society, and he only hard
working man of business, whose daily
toll leaves its mark on his mind and
his manner. Society is the sphere in
which such woman should shine.
Her only chance for q brilliant career
is there, and the impulse which drives
q man to seek fame in politics or
affairs, is in her an ambition for
power and consequence in the
social world. But when she
seeks to crafty it she may find
that her purpose is baked because her
work-a-day husband has exhausted his
energy before the hour of her activity
comes. He is tired ont at the end Of
the day, and not until the day is over
does the great business of social pleas
uro begin. With us, too, men are apt
to have satisfied their desire for such
occupations at a period of life when
social excitement may be most attract
i've to women. Is it surprising, then,
that conjugal discords occur in social
sphere where the men are absorbed in
work and roughened by affairs, while
the women have acquired the tastes and
aptitudes of an elegant leisure?-Ne1u

ONE OF :, AEIeICll'S GIRLS.

Miss Winslow, an American girl,
took away the breath of all Europe.
1t was at Hamburg, where she waltzed
at ball. The Prince of Wales saw
her and sent his equerry to summon
her to a waltz with him. Convey my
regrets to his royal highness and say
that l do not wish to waltz again. was
her answer. "But." said the equerry,
fare you aware that the request is a
commando "Are you aware" she
answered, 'that l am an American,
and do not obey royal commands?''
This ended it, and Europe had a cold
chill. But the lady deserves American
thanks for her independence.

He read the poem about half through
