AN UNEXPECTED CoHPLfcA-
TIOs.

The Tennessee Democrats have met
with an unexpected obstruction IN
their attempt 70 count out one oil the
Republican representatives who were
fairlv elected from that state. imme-
aiateIy after the election il was an
nounced that Evans. Republican, had
beaten Bate. Democrat. IN the second
Tennessee district. His majority was
large one. and At first his election
was conceded on ali hands. When IT
became known that the house would
be very close, and that the Democrats
might be able TO control 1t by count
ing ont all Of the Southern RepnbIi-
cans, however. Evans was one OF the
successful candidates who was marked
Tor slaughter. The county canvassefs
threw out the vote Of one township,
reversed the vote OF another, and by
twisting things around generally
managed to figure out slender ma
iosity for Bate.
According 10 the Tennessee law the
final canvass OF votes is made by the
governor and the secretary OF state.
Both OF these officials are, OF course,
Democrats, and the party managers
probably supposed that a certificate %
election would be issaed TO Bate with
out question. "A It happens. how
ever, Governor Taylor IS not real
hardened Bourbon. The fraud was
too Transparent for him, and he in
sisted that the certificate of election
should be given 10 the man who had
received majority OF the votes cast.
The secretary OF state, who Is not so
scrupulous about small matters,
thought that the certificate should be
given to Bate. Each official chung TO
his view OF the case. and no agreement
has yet been reached. Neither MI.
Evans, who was elected. nos Mr.. Bate,
who was defeated. has yet received a
certificate of election.
As Governor Taylor Is said to
possess good deal Of stubbornne-s,
however, and as no Is undeniably on
the right side OF this controversy, IT Is
probable that Representative-elect
Evans will finally receive the certiii-
cate TO which he is entitled.

A MODISTE'S CHAT.

She Tells How Her Trade Ia Learned and
what Wages 1t Commands
81 assure you no one learns dress
making for fun. Sometimes ladies
learn it in order to understand better
the fitting of their own gowns, but one
usually learns because she expects to
make a living by the trade
The speaker was fashionable up
town modste, aud she was telling a
reporter some of the secrets of her pro-
fession About the room were seated
a number of quiet. neat-looking girls,
all sewing.
'.Are there any schools where dress
making is taught" was asked
Il never heard of any. When girl
desires to learn the business, she usu-
ally goes as an apprentice, as at any
other trade"
"How long does it take to learn the
trader"
That greatly depends upon the
student. Usually girl should master
the trade in one season. A good dress
maker should have quick eye for
form and color. She should be some
thing of an artist in addition co having
mere mechanical skill. Most women
know something about sewing. and
have little difficulty, but when it comes
to fitting. trimming and finishing
dresses, where real taste and judgment
are required, the novice is almost help
less"
What can dressmaker earn after
she has learned the tradeP''
ut all depends upon her skill and
ability. If she is smart she can get
81. so a day, but she may not get more
than $3.50. That is after she has taken
lessons for one season. Forewomen
who superintend the work earn about
$25 a week. They are women of long
experience in the trade. So far rs
dressmaking at home is concerned. the
paper patterns have simplified matters
a great deal. Mail dressmakers carr
from s. to Sc a week more than women
at the same business. Men are better
than women at making waists. which
are in some particulars like tie coat
you wear, but never saw a man who
could drape a skirt properly Y

THE BIGGEST CLOCK.

Size OF the Enormous TIme-PIece for
PhiIadeIphia's City Hall.
Philadelphia is coming to- time, and
vice versa. The clock that is To be
put into the tower of the public build
ing at Philadelphia is to be a grand af-
fair. The dial will be twenty-five feet
III diameter. and the center of the dial
will be 361 feet above the street. The
dial will be illuminated by electricity,
and it is calculated that the time can
be seen at night from any point in the
city, and with field-glass the position
of the hands can be distinguished ut a
distance of fifteen miles. The minute
hand of the clock will be twelve feet
long. and the hour hand will measure
nine feet in length. The size of the
Roman figures on the dial will be two
feet eight inches in length. A steam
engine will be place in the tower TO
wind the clock up every day. The
clock-makers who have been invited to
give their views concerning the build
ing of the clock all say that nobody
in this country is able to build such
an enormous time-piece. 1t will take
whole year to place the clock ma
chinery in the tower after the building
has been completed. The bell for the
clock is to weigh between 10000 and
$4,000 pounds. and will be calculated
to peal out so loud that it can be heard
in the distant parts of the city. There
will be what are known as Westminster
chimes. and they will ring on the
quarter. half, three-quarters and hour.
The bell will be the next heaviest on,
the continent The heaviest is in the
cathedral in Montreal and weighs 3D.

terror of their lives; especially when
brought into my small milking yard.
1 had read much about dehorning but
could hardly bring myself to act upon
it until my best Jersey cow was brought
in with bloody rip in her side. This
brought my blood to the proper tenn
perature notwithstanding my fear Of
II loss of milk early in October. Pro-
viding Il sharp saw, pot of warm tar
and some loose cotton, she was secured
and Il horn sawed off closed to the head.
The moment it was done n bunch of
the cotton saturated with tar was APP
piled to the stump, and contiguous
hair WAS pulled into it and there was
scarcely any bleeding or exposure.
The other horn was served likewise and
she was turned loose with no bad re-
suits or loss of milk.

with some interest. She has had some
inclination to push as usual, but her
sensitive stumps remind her OF the inn
propriety and she contents herself with
shaking her head. The others find she

FEMALE EDUCATION.
A System of Training which Gives Girls >

A system OF Training which Gives Girls .
Chance to support Themselves
The education of young ladies is be-
ing revolutionized. Many families Of
high social standing are beginning to
teach their daughters practical book
keeping and business methods. instead
of such accomplishments as painting
and music. The proportion of young
ladies who arc able to earn their own
livelihood has greatly increased in the
last ten years. Nowadays it is COM =
mon thing to see young women occu-
plying important clerical positions in
large business houses. and they do their
work as we'll as men. Why. it scarcely
pays n young man now to learn stenog-
raphy or bookkeeping, for young
women are invading that territory and
driving men to other pursuits Locke
about in St. Louis and you will be sur
prised TO learn how many young ladies
are acting as private secretaries clerks,
accountants and stenographers- The
young men are surely but slowly being
driven into sterner fields of labor, and
in few years more, if women advance
in the same ratio as in the past decade,

counters. Young men will have to
adopt trades and professions that by
nature are untitled for the employment
of women. But it is all for the best;
clerical work is feminine in its charac-
ter. and vigorous. strong-minded men
will not consent to sell neckties or keep
a set of books for livelihood. Such
work belongs to the rising generation
of women. The slender, pale-faced
young man, whose white, soft hands
are never soiled with manly labor. will
nave to seek fresh pastures in the near
future, for. as the practical education
of women advances it means that they
they will be strong competitors of men
in all indoor work where mental clev-.
erness and physical dexterity are re-
CURED. The practical education of
women will give them strength and in
dependence; it will enable many wom-
Ell to relieve family distresses by con-
tributing to family support, and make
wives the invaluable counselors and as
sistants of their husbands.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
