FORT WORTH. TEX. May ls' 1855 |
The unpleasant uesther that has pre-
vailed to-day hiss interfered to grea
extent with retail trade in Fort Worth,
but the activity that has characterized
jobbing trade Of late has suffered no in.
terruption.
The supply Of eggs on this market falls
far short OF the demand, and 13A cants
has been resdAy paid for them to-day.
CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
Judging from the two best indicators
the volume of the exchanges and the cur.
rent earnings OF the railroads.&c. condi-
ton OF business throughout the country
ahords material for congratulstion. In
making comparisons with last year, 1t is
to be kept In mind that The business of
1887 largely surpassed that of any proceed.
Ing year. The hopeful feature is that the
increase Of banking transactions arises in
the western and southern states; which
indicates growing activity in those
sections from which the seaboard
cities derive the bulk Of their
trade, and suggests an early stimulus to
business in the eastern and middle CEN
tres of commerce. A truer indication,
however, is afforded by the traffic of the
railroads; but, In making comparison, Is
is not to be overlooked that, in large sec
tons Of country, the roads are Carrying
for much lower rates than they were q
year ago. In spite of this fact, however,
the gross earnings OF forty-six companies
for the third week of April show gain OF
over 10 per cent. as compared with the
week Of 1887 which WAS
also a week of large earnings, being about
ii per cent. ahead of the like week Of
1856 = American Banker.

enough to have the chill taken from it.
By following this course there will be less
disturbance of digestion. The cravings
of an animal suffering from such intense
internal heat caused by over feeding,
should not be satisfied by allowing per
feet freedom to cold water. As an animsl
grows fatter, there IS less wa te of mois-
ture from the system by evaporation than
when the animsl is in thin flesh. There Is,
besides, in fatteniDg animal, a gradual
hardening of the flesh, caused by substi-
tuition of fat for water in the system, so
that well-fed fattening animals do not re-
quire as m3ch water as the stock hogs, and
when roots and vegetables are fed, little
water is actually necessary. If fatten
iDg hog shows signs of thirst. 1t is suf-
fcent evidence that it has been an over
feed which has brought o. fever and
caused a arrangement of digestion; so
that care should be used that an animal
shall not drink too much. The instinct
of the animal will not be proper guide
prevene all this disorder by giving water
that has been warmed. These facts can
easily be applied to all animals, for it is
known that all beasts suffer more or less
from the injurious effects of taking cold
water in the system. 1t is well worth the
trouble to supply good, roomy bathing
apartments for all kind OF hogs, whether
in summer or winter. Hogs require nice,
clean, pure water for all purposes.

New Lines of Work.

Eliza Putnam Heatop, who is render
ing valuable assistance to her sex by
making note Of all new lines of work
tried by women successfully, thus writes
Ia O recent letter:
There is a family in a by-street of
Poughkeepsie, the women of Which are
bending their energies TO novel mode of
earning q livelihood. The father OF the
house was a government clerk for a
great many years. His eyesight failed
him finally, and for long time past he
has been unable to dc more than grope
his way about in the sunshine, dimly dis
tiDguishiDg shadow from day. With his
misfortune all means OF subsistence were
taken from the family. they became
very poor, so that their neighbors racked
their brains for devices to assist them
without offending their sensitive pride.
They lived in 2 painful hand -to-mouth
fashion on the products OF a little garden
and the soant wages of plain sewing done
by the mother who learL ed to do dainty
hand work in the days before the sewing
machine was invented. The two daugh-
tiers were fairly well educated, one of
them having studied in the preparatory
school of Vassar in the households better
days. The younger girl-she was % or
% pEobably-had quite an artistic talent,
but she didn't find that painting menu
cards, etc, was exactly tSs way to pile Hp
q fortune.
The older daughter was the family
dressmeker. It was this combination of
seamstres's skill with 6 knack of cutting
and fitting, and an eye for colors and
shapes. that in the end improved the
general fortune. The three women folks
themselves as firm of artistic dress

making designers. This means that when
customer that wants to look as well as
she can look applies for gown, see is
attended to first from the artistic side.
The younger girl has studio session.
She looks at her. studies her proportions,
considers the colors that she ought TO
wear, and the part of fabrics that would
hang best on such figure. Then if the
costume Is to be an expensive or elabo-
ate one, she sketches design Cor it and
colors it in water or oil. This is passed
over to the elder sister who proceeds to
embody it N cloth or silk. When the
gown has been designed by one and cut
and fitted by the other, the two girls con-
sign it to their mother, who is response
BILE for the making, the buttonholes and
the seams. The firm gets excellent price
for its work, and its designs are in de-
maRd. It has lifted the family from
penurv to comfort, and is securing TO The
members pleasant independence. Some
of the pretty Vassar girls appreciate the
pretty gowns and are among the best
customers.

A Question as to Whether or Not They Are

The most striking paper in the Univer

by Miss Fletcher, the author of "kismet,'

the nom de plume of George Fleming.
The problem proposed ii this paper is
"Have women a capacity for serious
thinking?" question of which the

A Saratoga Head Waiter who Died Worth
sixty Thousand Dollars.

4 Saratoga Head Waiter who Died Worth
sixty thousand Dollars.
The United States hotel at Saratoga
hes lost by dea,h the head waiter, John
Lucas, who had served in that capacity
fourteen years, or ever since the hotel
opened in 1874. A New York paper, when
mentioning his death, says he left $780,
900. Lucas was negro from Alexandria,
Vs., and his remains were taken from
New York to his native city for interment.
Lucas was 58 years old and belonged, SAYS
letter to the Louisville Courier journal,
to that class of head walters who exacted
fees or melted out punishment. His $780,
060 in fourteen years represents the prof
its of his position. The insolence of
money always found ready res ponse in
Lncas. Early in the season a family
would arrive at the Estates" and, as the
dining room is paratively empty the
first month, eligible seats would be Sc
cured. 4 month later man and mis- wife
would arrive, pause at the main door of
the dining room, place S25 IN lucas
itching palm, point out tue table occu-
pied by the family who had been ihere a
month and say: 81 want that table,
Lucas would walk to the gentleman and
say: "These seats have been engaged since
Mr.. and Mrs. Moneybags left here last
year; they have arrived and I will show
you 70 another table" After being seat
ed, Monaybegs would send S25 to the
head cook, and ne would send better pre-
pared danties than others who paid 81 a
day, just as he was paying for himself
and wife. OF course one of the best
walters in the room would be detailed
to wait on Money bags and his wife, and
he, too, must be liberty fed each day or
week.
4 lady told me last summer that she
put 81 in Lucas hand after he had seated
her and said: 81 want q better place in
the dtning-room than this one, 80 near the
pantries." He, in an angry tone, flung
the 81 back and said: ''If you think 81
will buy my good will you are mistaken
Many persons told me- that they had com
planned 10 the proprietors about Lucas
airs, but they could get no redress. He
would say: Lucas has charge Of the din
ing room and don't interfere with him.,
