Miss Louisa Alcott gave the follow
ing advice to girls: Girls, don't be in

else and sleep. Then learn all the
useful household arts before you at

sell in harmless frivolty. Above all
select your friends with care. Avoid
girls who live only for fashion, fiirta-
ton and enjoyment, and use the priv
llege all women may claim TO decline
the acquaintance of young men whose
lives will not bear inspection by the
innocent eyes of women. Let no de-
luslon OF wealth, rank, comeliness OF
love tempt you TO trust your happiness
TO such a one. Watch and wait till
the true lover comes, if it be all your
llle, Tor single blessedness is better
than double misery and wrong. Spin
sters are a very useful, happy, indie
pendent race, never more so than
when all professions are open to them
and honor, fame and fortune are
bravely won by many gifted members
ol the sisterhood. Set your standard
high and live up TO it, feeling assured
that reward will come here or here

your real needs"

women in business.

Over five thousand women have OBJ.
tanned employment in the last few years
in Philadelphia in branches hitherto
filled by men alone. 1t 10 not only in
mills, factories, stores, telegraph offices
and like places, where they are found at
the loom, shuttle, counter and key that
they are working, but in bankers, brok.
ers', lawyers, and other professional
mems offices. As stenographers, type
writer's, bookkeepers and cashiers they
are gradually and largely encroaching
upon the occupations previously almost
entirely monopolized by men. The large
corporations, trust and real estate COM
panies and mercantile agencies utilize
their services and employ them in large
numbers. The newspaper offices recog-
nize their value, and in the composing
room they may be found with the rule
and stick. Their punctuality, ,steadiness,
quickness and intelligence are particu-
larly noticeable, and the class OF women
at work is far above the average in
breeding and culture. The managers oil
nearly all the business concerns where
they are employed speak of their work in
the highest terms, and say they are gen
orally equal to men and in many casei
superior. Many are the main support oI
families who. through reverses, have
been obliged to fight in the world fol
their daily bread. d.-Philadelphia Times

MADE HIS MARK.
A sad Case at the JaiI-Captain

That is one OF the saddest cases

well, the guardian at the county Jail
to a reporter for the San Jose Even.
ing News, and the old Indian fighter
wiped away tear. "The young man
was convicted a few days ago Of va
grancy," he continued, "and is now
serving out a sentence. He was young
man who had every advantage in his
youth. His parents sent him to school,
but he was not stuck on it and he went
from bad to worse as he grew older
and now he is taken up as a common
vagrant.
In this case do not think there
is any chance for reform; he is too far
gone. Boys don't seem to know how
TO start right in life. They should get
up and dig for themselves. Now l
once knew boy who was very indus

shoemaker. Instead of wasting his
time playing ball or other idle sports
after school, he would 20 to his faith

until in few years he got TO be quite
expert. One day he told his son he
thought he was old enough to speed
alone, and it would be a very good
idea for the youth to strike out for his
fortune.
Full of bright hopes and square
meal, and with his kit Of shoemaker's
tools he started out. Now there's
boy for you. lie never hired buggy
on Sunday afternoon and blew in a

He was plain, everyday young man
who never wore cuffs, except those his

rRANCEs AND DEATH.
why People DO Not Recover Con.
seiousness In the Grave.

"Tbere is no excuse for any one be-
ing buried alive" said DIR. w. A Ham
mond. A New York Herald reporter
had called on him in reference TO the
burial alive Of Miss Stickney, Of In
dianapolis, who was taken out Of a
vault and found to be in a trance state,
and did not die for several weeks after
her funeral
"No," he continued; "there is no
excuse for it. The tests OF death have
been brought down to such a point
that any competent physician would
have no difficulty in accurately deter
mining whether or not death had
taken place."
"Does decomposition always set in
after death ?"
Invariably, provided the body is
not frozen. OF course, you can freeze
il and keep it for years before it will
decompose-just as fish are kept frozen
for market. The salmon that you eat
now were caught last Spring, and have
been kept frozen ever since. They are
just as good"
"Do you imagine that there is any
foundation to the belief OF many that
people are sometimes buried alive ?"
ooh, | have no doubt of it. have
known of its being done, but it is not
by any means OF frequent occurrence
not nearly so frequent as many people
imagine. The physician is entirely to
blame when it does occur. The fact
that bodies have been found turned
over in the coifins lead people TO be-
lieye that they were buried alive.
But that's not so. 1t is probably the
work of the gases coming from the
body. Pent up in coffin they become
very powerful, and it is almost sim
gular that they do not move bodies
around more than they do"
"Then don't you take any stock in
the stories OF men who come TO life
under the ground, OF their terrible
struggles to get free, and their horri-
BILE death at last ?"
"Thats all bosh. Poe wrote OF
graveyards trembling with the strug-
giles OF the buried alive. That's
all bosh, too. When people are
buried alive, as they most GER
tainly have been, they never wake
up TO know it. When in a trance
state their vitality must be so weak
that when they begin to regain con-
sciousness and to attempt TO breathe
they die of sufocation Immediately
and never know that they came to life
again. Buried for dead, they practi'
cally are dead"

Paner collar that Cest si2o.

Zones wants are ones needs" has
been said. but paper collars at Sl25 each
are not now regarded as necessities.
Still, that amount has been paid for one
of these almost obsolete articles of male
attire, and Major ID. w. Sanders enjoys
the reputation Of having broken the re.
cord by his purchase. 1t was during the
war, and Major Sanders, then an officer
in the Confederate army. was in Tennes'
see. He received months pay, $3.50, in
Confederate bills. and then discovered that
he needed collar. He found man
who had spare paper collar and began
negotiations. but the happy possessor Of
the article did not want to part with 1t.
After some trouble, however, he per
su AIDED the owner to sell, hut only when
sl25 had been offered. 1t is difficult,
however, to estimate what the cost OF Q
clean shirt would have been about that
time. even when the quotations OF paper
collars are given.

A VALUABLE COIN.
Pickep Up by CoIorcd Boy and
Sold for n Mere Song.

I
A few days ago negro boy was stand
ing near trash pile and was engaged in
running bis toes through the debris. He
noticed something bright in the pile, and
when he picked it up found it to be a
very small yellow coin. At first he
thought it was copper, but as he fingered
1t his native sense told him it was too
heavy for copper, so he at once con.
jectured that it was made OF gold. He
had some business with Frank Walker,
and while in his office showed him the
piece Of money. lie asked the lawyer
how much he would give him for it.
The attorney, after eying it closely,
thought it was a gold dollar, and as he
was particularly anxious to get some coin
to wear on his watchchain, he offered the
boy dollar for it, which he gleefully
accepted.
Mr.. Walker gave the coin careful ex-
animation and became convinced that he
had paid too much for it. He was in
Colonel Redwine's office, and took the
coin out and exhibited it TO the great
financier. "Whst will you give me for
it," he asked. "Tll give you dollar"
was the reply. "And III give you a
81 25," interrupted q man who had
come in to renew q note. Done" ex.
claimed Mr.. Walker. Here's your
money" was the quick answer. The
buyer left the office with his coin, and
the lawyer thought he had made q good
bargain.
Hurrying off to a man that buys
coins, the purchaser exhibited the piece.
The dealer scrutinized it closly and said:
"What will you take for it!" "What
will you give" After little considera-
tion the desler said: "Will you take
s25 for it?" The answer was: "No,
but I'll take $50 for it," "It's o go;
here's your money" and the happy man
walked out Of the Office.
The coin which figured in these trans.
actions is a Confederate gold dollar. A
gentleman was talking yesterday to q
reporter and he said: 1.-The worst sold
man OF the four was he who sold the
coin for $50. II il be true that it is, as
is represented, a genuine Confederate
dollar, it is worth $3.50. am told that
there are only six OF these coins in ex.
istence. They are the only ones that
were coined. They are worth $3.50
each.
The reporter came away convinced
that OF all the men who figured in the
affair, the gentleman who gave this
wonderful information was the worst
sold OF any.-Atlanta Constitution.

The Old HoOsicr SchOOlhOuse.

The primitive schoolhouses were, of
course, very rude affairs, built Of round
logs, and with as little expenditure Of
time and money as the law would
allow. II was required that they
should be eight feet high from floor to
ioists, and that they should be pro-
vided with such furniture as was
absolutely necessary for use in the
schools. The floors were of roughly
hewn puncheons; a great fireplace
and chimney, built of sticks and clay,
often extended entirely across one end
of the room the seats were long slabs
with legs driven into them; there
we're no desks, but narrow shell
against one of the walls afforded the
larger pupils an opportunity to write
and blackboards were inventions moi
yet introduced into the Western
country. Close to the place where the
master sat there were usually two
long pegs driven into the wall for the
purpose of supporting choice assert,
ment OF hickory switches, for the rod
was then regarded as the most efec
tive and convenient means of securing
obedience. Those were the days o

| once saw young soldier who be-
longed to battery of artillery en-
gagged in patching the holes in his
guidon--a markers fiag-with cloth
from the lining Of his uniform. When
asked him why he spent so much
time to mend that old flag, his answer
was that as We were so far from the
base OF supplies he could not get a
new one, and that when the battery
went into action with thirty-six horses
and six guns he always stuck the pike
of the guidon into the ground where
the battery was to form, and even il
the man who rode the leading horse
was killed or disabled, and the noise
OF battle was SO great that the bugle
call could not be heard, the horses
would wheel around the flag and exc
cute the maneuver known as by left

six guns on line with the flag, ant
then as soon as the guns were unlim
bered, he would again place it about

would gallop to the rear with the cals
