The Last Thing Out.

The typewriter girl is becoming one
of the institutions of every frst.class
hotel. In every hotel the placard informs
the arrival that he can have his letter
prepared on short notice at trihing
cost. The way in which we are now
living at our hotels doesn't leave the
guest very much to complain OF, pro-
Vided the cook does his duty. The days
when te 'egraph instruments were put in
the hotels the landlords thought they
had reached the ultima thule of enter
prise. Then came the telephone. Now
the. guest registers and there is little
else left for him to do. He is carried to
! his, meals by the elevator, and after his
dinner, while he smokes, he takes his
chair and dictates Letter to the young
typewriter in the corner. - Cticago

TEMPERANCE.
Bane and Boon.

And may a bane become a boona =
Are curses born to bless?
Can midnight shine with rays Of moon?
Will vice win virtues dress?
That doctrine was in Eden taught,
And 10. earth has the FRUIT ~
Sad boast that blessing would be wrought
Figs reaped from thistle root!
The laws Of God are not repealed, -
However men may dare; 81.
Wheat still unfolds to wheaton yield,
Tare yet produces tare.
Whatever poisons human veins, -
Corrupts the human race; .g-s:a
And drunkenness inf1icts its stains,
That time may not eface.
II States approve and license give, 5.
The crime is but the worse;
The righteous host Of Heaven will live
And curse will follow curse.
All! men are 'wildered by their taste 1,
And by their lust for. gain;
Their vices only work their waste ,..,
And sting at last with pain.

Fans are made up entirely of plumes
to match different toilettes.
White cloth jackets braided with me-
tallic cords are in high favor for dressy

A pretty, graceful little garment is in
muslin fchu, and has frill of lace as an
edge.
Pretty bonnet pins are in the form of
spray of flowers and leaves, entWlned
with garnets.
Beefeater hats may be made from the
many varieties of horse hair braids that
come for that purpose.
The newest India silks have the mar
rowest possible vine of embroidery along
their trimming selvage.
A single spray Of flowers is seen upon
some of the newest lace parasols, as If
blown there by the wind.
A novel color combination is reseda
with terra-cotta, and both these colors
are combined with black.
Colorei straw is the feature of the
seasons millinery, and often crown and
brim show different hues.
Boas of lace, whether they are at
tached to the hat or worn about the neck
Independently, are very stylish.
Many new hats have crowns Of fancy
straw in peculiar braid and faced with
fancy straw in lattice work patterns.
Foot trimmings on skirts are surely be-
ing revived, and occasionally single
hounce of considerable depth isseen.

combinations, and also in the true Roman

Mrs. Gladstone.

No woman lives a more useful lite
than the wife of England's greatest man.
Although sevcnty-siX years old, Mrs.
Gladstone has still sufficient energy to
reflect the motto adopted by her when
only little girl: eff you want a thing
we'll done do it yourself."'
Her father, Sir Richard Glynne, Bart. ,
of Hawarden Castle. was in the habit OF
saying that even as child, this pet
daughter evinced a remarkable talent
for leadership; and subsequent events
have proved that the baronet's impres.
sion was correct.
While Mrs. Gladstone was in perfect
sympathy with her husband and ever
ready to be of service to him, yet she IS
more interested in raising the moral and
social standard of those around her than
in anything else.
For years she has not only encouraged
horticulture and horticulture among the
cottagers in her neighborhood, but has
personally assisted in the selection OF
plants and che laying out of plats.
She has an abundance of tact and IN
argument she is quite as logical as her
husband. During prolonged interview
with particularly combative and un'
reasoning woman on one occasion her
husband is said to have remarked :
"Well now, this is rather unprece-
dented, you know. My wife usually
talks over the most pertinacious of them
in less time than this. But she'll beat, "
he added, laughinglN "for she never
fails"
Being quite domestic in her tastes,
Mrs. Gladstone IS highly delighted to
find this talent among her friends. In the
selection of these this lady is never iniu.
enced by ancient birth, wealth or social
position. Her two requirements are
moral worth and brains. Thus the
proudest home in England is always open
to professional people.
In 1862, during the cotton famine,
Mrs. Gladstone worked night and day to
alleviate the misery. She established
an Orphans Home at Clapham in 1866.
This afterward became home for incur.
ables.
Mrs. Gladstone's social, educational
and charitable projects lave always been
warmly seconded by her husband, who is
more proud of his wife than of anything
else in the world, not excepting his own
honorable and brilliant career.
The following story will illustrate
this lovely woman's great heart:
"Oh, if could only do something for
you,"a poor singer whom Mrs. Glad.
Stone had been able to render a great
service once exclaimed.
"That is easy, my DEAR" the lady re-
sponded. -,
EASY for me to be of service to you2"
the lady exclaimed, the grateful tears
flowing down her cheeks.

body else. A kind word, bit of prac.
tical advice, helping hand-even if
there isn't much in it." Mrs. Gladstone
replied with smile, twill always be
doing something for me. And more than
that, my child, it will be doing some

Chicago women's "Pigeon Strut

Chicago Women's "Pigeon Strut"
1t Is very astonishing that in a city
containing so many attractive women as
does this Justly celebrated burg, there
should be so few of the dear creatures
who possess gait in which there is any,
thing of grace. Strangers and chance
visitors have often remarked in my hear
ing that the walk of the average Chicago
woman was little short of monstrous,
and when I have taken time to note the
examples they have pointed out, have
been reluctantly compelled to admit the
charge was not without some foundation.

women who in every respect but this
one might be looked upon as charming;

Every variety Of gait is to be encoun-
tered, but the most common one seems
sort of pigeon strut, with the head far
in advance of the feet and the centre of
gravity, jerking spasmodically from side
to side like a weather cock in gale of
wind. An exaggerated tournure-I be-

lends an additional emphasis to this os-
cillatipg movement, and at times the ef-
feet wrought surpasses the droll and
verges on the ridiculous. Occasionally 1

what with it being decided case of

defeating Us in about one of the most
tiresome games Of the season.
On Saturday two games were
played, both in the afternoon.
The first was fine game with one
exception. One of the Fishel players
was sick and but for him the game
would have been ours. AS it was, the
score 2 to l in favor of the "Nocks, "
indicates close and interesting game.
Deitz pitched for the Fishels and Bor-
land caught in the first and second
games and did splendid work. The
second game was won by our boys
by score of to 4.
The game was noteworthy in the
improvement in batting shown by
the Fishels. Murdock, Scott and
Walsh especially distinguishing
themselves.
The Fishels won a game from the
Parker club on Wednesday. which
was remarkable for nothing in partic-
