The Milliners of Paris.

lola, who has undertaken to write
about nearly every class of the laboring
people of Paris, says of the milliners:
The ranks of modistes are largely re-
cruited from the schoolmistresses who
cannot find pupils, daughters of the
atrical people who shrink from expos
ing their children TO the perils and trials
of life on the stage, and girls whose par
ents have come down In the world.
Never does a Partisan milliner al
low herself to be called an OuUrlere.
She is on the contrary a demoiselle
and the very poorest of these demOi-
selles would die rather than cross the
street like work girl, that is to say,
without hat or gloves. In some great
millinery houses, dignity is so much
thought of that the staircase leading to
the modiste' S room is often marked les
Escalier des Artistes' The apprentice
milliner who has paid a premium is
allowed to sew wire around hats and to
work on old models, while the charity
of the Workroom, runs errands and
carries parcels and bonnet-boxes
all over Paris. After two years
apprenticeship the modiste becomes an
appreteuse and earns about 80 a month,
eagerly awaiting the time Of her eleva
ton to the position Of trimmer. These
trimmers are the swells Of the profess
sion. They are to be met with every
where looking for hints. They are at
the first nights of the new plays scan
ming with close attention the audience
and the actresses. They attend fash
ionable weddings at the Madeleine, and
even hunt in the book shops on the
quays, getting suggestions from old
fashioned prints. Not so we'll paid, but
also important are the sellers, who have
to possess great deal of tact. and if they
can speak English, and wait on English
and American customers, they get as
much as $500 year. Milliners are di-
vided into two classes, those in shops or
those in private apartments. The shop
keeping bonnet-maker is not a creator
Of fashions and frequently sends her
most aristocratic-looking assistant in the
guise of a customer to the private rooms
of leading milliners in order to ask for
and get hints from the novelties of the
season. Sometimes the trick is discov-
cred, and vengeance is taken in many
ways peculiar to the inventive female
mind. Once when one of these fore
women was detected by fashionable
Nine. Mantalina she locked her up in a
closet and kept her there on bread and
water until her crestfallen mistress came
to claim her

The Archbishop's Notes.

n wFep IN Rcb Mngazne the helI f
Archbishop of Canterbury, who, when
preaching at St. Pauls had his half
sheet of notes carried away during a
hymn by gust of wind. 1t was waited
into the face of citizen, who, instead of
bringing it back. as the Archbishop ex-
pected, scanned it over, and, look of
bright intelligence suddenly stealing in
to his face, hurriedly left the church

on having secured so undoubted an
autograph under such exceptional cir
cumstances. The preacher S keen sense
of humor came to his relief, and he was
able to deliver his sermon as if nothing

I asked the warder of old Newgate

Windows opposite were let at fabulous

windows to amuse themselves with the

punishment of the scaffold above. 1t

savage exultation over the death of a

ing to find one government even if 1T be
only Hungary, that recognizes the right
of the American people to have some
voice in determining what class of
foreigners shall come here. The opin-
ion has prevailed in Europe so long
that America was an asylum of refuge
for the INDECENT, criminals and outcasts,
that it is hard to make a protest receive
respectful attention. But if Hungary
will keep its own paupers at home, and
not send them to be burden to this

The Three Year Rule.
From the Chautauquan


''It is the deep and abiding convic-
ton of large number Of the biggest lay
men, as we'll as the greatest preachers
in Methodism, that the Methodist Epis-
copal Church has been dwarfed in the
great cities and her influence abridged
by the iron rule Of three years,
and three years only, for a
pastor. 1t was all right for the small
towns of seventv-fye years ago. but it is
too small rule for to-day for the Meth
odist Church in the great cities of the
land with their growing populations.
The theaters of these cities have all
given place to the larger opera houses
DR.. John P. Newman is now serving his
third term as pastor of the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal Church in Wash
ington, D. c. Suppose he had re-
manned there from the time he was
first appointed, as the friend of Gen.
Grant and chaplain of the Senate and
pastor of that great church-nearly
twenty years of service He would
have enlarged the building to accommo-
date the congregation, and the power of
Methodism would be double what it is
at that point in Washington to-day. DR..
Geo. F. Reed, at Hanson Place, Brook

THE new maxim gun, rest and all,
weighs fifty pounds and is fired from
the shoulder. By it an expert can fire
5000 rifle balls in eight minutes. The
officer who did the firing at the first
test few days ago never tried it before,
yet he discharged 5000 shots in twelve
minutes the first time. A thin line of
men armed with this terrible weapon
would be almost impregnable to an adj
vancing army America still leads the
