Jenny Dreese came home from school
many years ago with new purpose in life.
She belonged to large, disorderly family
of adults. The men were journalists, the
women artists. Their wit was bitter and
sharp; there was constant clashing OF
tastes and opinions each lived for HIM
self; there was no head to the family, no
order, no system. A chill atmosphere OF
discomfort and antagonism pervaded the
house.
Jenny set at work to bring order and
happiness out of it ALL She swept, she
sewed, she cooked, she mended Bob's
jacket, cleaned Mary's brushes, cured Johns
cold. She had no grace, neither had she
wit nor beauty.
All the family laughed at the homely
good humored Cinderella, and valued hel
much as they did the domestic cat by the
hearth. They never saw the work she
had done; but God saw it. Out of all the
misery and mutual dislike she brought, al
last, beautiful, loving home.
In many families an humble, common
pace woman is doing JenRy's work, unrec
ognized and neglected.

Is THERE ANY FUTURE LIFE FOR AMI

of Cruelty to Animals, says upon this sub

der of Methodism, thought there was. So
did those eminent Christian Bishops. Jer-

Gated it in England, Lamartine in France
and Agassiz in America. Agassiz. the
greatest scientist we ever had on this con-
tinent, and man of profound religious
convictions, was firm believer in some
future life for the lower animals. A Pro
fessor of Harvard University has compiled
a list of 1S5 European authors who have
written on the subject. Among the lead
ing clergy of Boston, who have publicly
expressed their belief in future life for
animals, are Joseph Cook, Trinitarian, and
James Freeman Clark, Unitarian. Some
ten years ago a man left bv will to Mr.
Bergh's New York Society, about $4,000.
Relatives contested the will on the ground
that he was insane because he believed in a
future life for animals. The Judge in sus-
tanning the will, said he found that more
than half the human race believed the
same thing"

A LONG WIRE SPAN.-A remarkable
engineering feat has just been carried out in
China in the face of unusual physical OBJ
stacles. This was the stretching of steel
cable of seven strands across the Lunann
river, by Mr.. A. De Dinde, Danish civil
engineer, aided only by unskilled Chinese
labor. The cable is strung from two points
4,64S feet apart. The hight of one sup
port is Az feet above the present level of
the river, and the second support 737 feet
above it. The vortex over the water is rs
feet. The Chinese cable, says Indian En-
cheering. is the longest but one in the
world. The telegraph air cable across the
Kistna has span of 500 feet; two sim
liar cables across the Ganges, one 1900
feet and the other 1880 feet. A third
line of 1,l35 feet crosses the Hooghly,

But it is not without its lessons, for it
teaches the sportsman patience and for
bearance, and puts him to no inconsidera-
BILE watchfulness to pitch his trip at the
most opportune time. Even then he will
often fail in his calculations and be on the

VALUE OF HAWKS AND OwLs.-In the
Massachusetts Senate the Committee on
Agriculture have been directed to consider
" the expediency of providing by law for
the offering of bounties, for the DESTROYING
OF injurious birds and other animals, in
Guiding English sparrows, crows, hawks,
foxes and woodchucks, which are destruc-
tive to farm crops" The committee may
probably familiarize themselves with the
course of Pennsylvania. The law there
giving a bounty for hawks and owls was
repealed last year, because competent nat
uralists proved to the satisfaction of the
Legislature that those birds were useful
instead of injurious and that laws to pro-
mote their wholesale systematic destruc-
ton did not partake of wisdom but of the
rankest folly. If hawks and owls are use
full allies of agriculture in Pennsylvania
they cannot be injurious in Massachusetts,.

Time mas when artistic, or, as it was
generally called, esthetic," dressing was
rather the butt of satirists than. the envy
or admiration of well-dressed people Now
all this is changed, and the best of the
dressmakers busy themselves reviving from
the past some of the most picturesque gar
ments then worn, and adapting them to
the requirements of our modern days. The
leading inspirations are derived from
tina lncroyable period, about 1889, when
broad revers, tail-coats, important-looking
neckties of muslin and lace, gendarme
hats, fobs and eyeglasses were the fashions
of the moment, and the Chapeau la
Claque, gold-headed sticks, found favor
with women, who might at distance al
most be mistaken for men. Incroyable,

those bonnets which stood up boldly from
the face like spoons; or the bonnet a la

the top; or the round casquet hat, with no

the hair beneath inflated with steam. We
can only hope that we are to be spared the
resuscitation of many of the follies then
rampant: the dishevelled locks, the hair

There appears to be no disposition to
adopt the narrow skirt, though the distinct

BUFFALO FOR LONG IsLAND.-C. j.
Jones, the buffalo breeder of Kansas, re-
Gently made in this city sale of live
stock which is quite out of the usual run
of such transfers He sold to Austin Cor
bin, of this city, six head of buffalo, three
bulls and three heifers. These are part
of Mr.. Jones herd of tame buffalo, and
were captured by him as calves down in
the Indian Nation and Texas. They will
be sent East before long, and will be put
on Austin Corbin's place on Long Island,
where in time number of native Amer
lean wild animals will be gathered by that
gentleman. The price paid for these buff
falo has not been made public, but that the
figure was high may be inferred from the
fact that on more than one occasion Mr.
Jones has refused $500 apiece for buffalo.

Loss OF SPEED IN PLANETS AND CON-

perpetual? At first, everything seems to

its mass of 5000 trillion tons, turns with a

for long time defed all attempts to de-
tect in it loss of speed, but with the fric-
ton of the tides continually at work such
loss must take place, and now it is pretty
certain from the calculations of Adams.
the astronomer, that the earth loses about
an hour in 1900 years, and is coming to
rest rather leisurely. So, also, the hurry
ing up of the comets as they go around the
sun is possibly accounted for by retard-
ing action in space which makes it neces-
sary for them to try and make up, as it
were, for lost time; and, in fact, the gen
eral arguments in the present day are in
favor of what Sir Isaac Newton believed
that the motions of all bodies in space are
suffering retardation, and that their veloc-
ity is becoming less and will ultimately
cease.-Nature.

A BOYS LoGIC.-One day the teacher

important air replied that he had seen a
fellow chew because his teeth ached, and
stoutly averred that it was not wong for
any one to chew tobacco if his teeth ached.
This seemed to please the school very
much, and the teacher was at first puzzled
to know how to answer such stunning
argument. At last she said to the boy !:
" Horace, if girl should have the tooth
ache, and want to chew tobacco, what
should she dog' Horace scratched his

THE CHAMPION DOG SToRY.-A some
what remarkable dog story is now going
the rounds of Long Island City. 1t is
about the result OF dog fight at a resort
near Calvary Cemetery, between Ben, a
brindle, owned in Long Island City, and
Spot, white and black bull, weighing
thirty-four pounds, the property of a we'll
known saloon-keeper in Harlem. The
brutes fought two hours and eighteen min
utes, the honors being about even. They
were so exhausted that they separated fol
a moment. The handlers of both dog

seized their charges and began TO sponge
them with cold water. The dog, Ben,
which weighed thirty pounds, died in his
handlers custody. The death was not
quickly noticed by the spectators. Time
was called by the referee, and, so the story
goes, the handler held up the dead dog in
such position that he appeared alive
and ready to renew the fight. The han
dler of Spot also appeared on the other
side of the pit with his dog. The latter
released the animal, which, instead of
graphing with his antagonist, turned tail,
The referee at once declared Ben victo-
rious. The dog was dead, but the fact was
not known except to few who had money
bet on the fight The fight is said to have
been for S100 a side.-N. Y. World.
