The Working Girls Friends.

"What class of persons are your best
customers? asked a reporter for the
Null and Express of a New York bird
fancier recently.
''Shop girls, seamstresses, miIliners
and other working women" was his I'M
expected reply erich folks buy the
parrots, educated canaries, the rare for
eign birds and the expensive aquaria,
but the pretty working girls are the Lest
and steadiest buyers of the common
varieties, and without their custom we
should fare badly. We are one with the
florists in that respect"
GLOW do you mean"
"Well, you just ask the forists-I
mean the cheap sidewalk florists of the
market and street orners-who are their
same answer that | have given you.
can't understand it, either"
''These pets and flowers" said a mod
est working girl to the reporter half
hour later, they cheer us and we should
feel lost without them. Why, we can
almost always tell when one of our COM
panions is going wrong, that is, coming
home late, becoming bold any gay and
entertaining longings for dress and orna-
ments, by her giving away her pets and
plants or neglecting them"
The canary is by long odds the favor
lite pet with working girls The little
sKy-blue nonpareil birds, as they are
called, love birds, Java sparrows and
others are we'll represented. Guinea
pigs and white mice also occasionally
receive their share of fostering attention
in these humble homes AS to flowers,
the harder, cheaper and prettier of pot
plants are the most popular. The geran
MUM is the most common; then comes
the heliotrope, then the fuschia, and
they also cultivate the wall flower daisy,
the gilly flower, the primrose, several
varieties of the pink, the oxalis or wood
sorrel and whatever Will thrive in cir
cumscribed quarters with limited care
The working girls are often put to their
ingenuity to have their pets and flowers
attended to during their absence from
home in the pursuit of their vocation,
especially in cold weather, when the
more delicate specimens are apt to suffer
severity in the lofty, unwarmed tene-
ments if not cared for. Sometimes one
who is too i'll to seek her daily work,
but able to be about within doors, will
minister to the wants of a dozen or more
of such possessions on behalf of COM
paniOns lodging in the same house.
Sometimes kind-hearted landlady will
volunteer similar Offices for a trifiing re-
ciprocation in the way of stitching,
mending, or of some cheap but pretty
worsted or cardboard ornaments for her
vacant walls

A Modern Solomon.

1t has always been supposed that Solo
mon was the wisest man who ever lived,
but it looks now as if Mr.. p. T. Barnum
the Snowman, is worthy to wear the sage
kings crown. a kentucky farmer recent
ly wrote the great Snowman that he had
1.-The only three-legged chicken in the
world" and would part with it for
$1,000. In the same mail, Mr. Barnum
received letter from a jersey farmer
who also claimed that he had "the only
three-legged chicken in the world" and
would sell it for $1,000 Mr.. Barnum
simply sent the Kentuckians letter to
the Jerseyman and the Jerseyman's letter
to the kentuckian. Could Solomon have
done any better in deciding this case?-

IF THEY KNE w.

If only my mother knew
How ny heart is hurt within me,
She would take my face in her tender hands
And smooth my cheek, as she used to do
In the days that seem 50 long ago,
When childish tears were quick TO flow:
She would smooth my face with her tender
hands
If she felt the grief within me-
If only my lover knew
OF the surging, passionate sorrow.
He would hold me close TO his sturdy breast,
AS once he held me the long hours through
When we had not learned to live apart,
But leaned for love on each others heart;
He would hold me close TO his heaving breast,
If he guessed my passionate sorrow.
But it pierces me like knife
To think that they do not know it;
To think they can look in my pleading eyes,
Yet never question my hidden life
Can touch my lips in the same old place
Yet never look for the soul in my face.
Oh, the tears are bitter that fill my eyes
To know that they do not know it,

enough strain being kept on the line to
raise the captive's body clear of the bot
tom. Sometimes the shark would be
little FESTIVE, and then we all waited
until as the doctor said, she rolled
over and went TO sleep again"
At length we were close into the beach
and all but two canoes were drawn up
on the sands to wait for daylight. The
two remaining ones lay over the sleep

he said, ''but we must wait for daylight,
when he is sober, before we kill him"
By daylight a crowd of people had as

was given from the canoes that the niuhi
was awake and getting FESTIVE. So the

took immense credit to himself for the

the enraged man-eater thrashing and
plunging about, was drawn out of the
water and over the yellow sands. AS his
huge body plunged h;ther and thither
he snapped savagely at everything, but in
vain. A crowd of fishermen were al.
ways about him, raining a shower Of
blows on his ugly head, until he lay,
beaten to death, on the shore.
Great were the rejoicngs over the sue

to endow the eater with high courage
and great strength. AS for the one

praised for his skill, and would, the
Kahuna said, be fortunate in ever ything

Jordan was forced 70 leave Durham,
N. O., for conduct which in a western

Considering all the circumstances,
