A young lady of New York keeps humming-birds
as pets. They build their nests in the lace cur
tains and have raised little families in the parlor
There are plants for them to fly about in, and
every day the florist sends q basket of flowers for
them to extract the honey from. They are like
little rainbows flying about the room and they
light on the head of their mistress with perfect
freedom. She has an especial fondness for birds,
and pigeons, canaries and bnlfnches are in

There are fifteen girls clubs in New York and
vicinity, all banded together in one association cal
led the Association of Working Girls Societies,
governed by a central council composed of fifteen
delegates from the various societies-workng
girls and women of leisure and wealth together,
bringing their widely differing experiences to bear
upon the discussions of the perpexities arising,
the formulation of new plans and purposes and
the exchanging of different ideas and theories.
The clubs vary in numbers from % to 250 men,
bers, having each their own officers and leaders,
are, to certain extent, self supporting, and are
composed of working girls representing almost all
known industries
Among the employments for women which have
money in them are poultry raising, bee culture,
rose culture, serving meals to several families in
neighborhood, professional shopping, and keeping
for sale the roots, seeds and bulbs of wild flowers
the profession of home decoration, the leading of
literary clubs, and the care of public libraries. In
deciding what work to undertake. it is safe to
lay down the rule that the thing to make money
by is the one thing which you can do best. Try
to build up a reputation and create demand for
your speciality. First, be sure that your work is
judged well by good judges. Secondly, have no
foolish shamefacedness about receiving money for
your work. If it is good, it is worth paying for,
and to receive wages for work adds dignity to labor

The fashionable women in New York are being
relgiously appealed to in the elevated railroad cars
Panels in these vehicles are rented out to adyer-
tisers, and most of them are kept filled with praise
of wear for ladies. This week one space in every
car is filed with this text from the Bible "Clothe
thyself in righteousness. Instinctively one looks
for the additional advice to buy the required
Righteousness by the yard of some particular
merchant. But there is no such appendage to the
inscription. 1t seems to be a genuinely plous at
tempt to turn to the thoughts of frivolous shoppers
toward religion Inasmuch as the same panels
have hitherto been occupied by an advertisement
of the Mail and Express, Elliott F. Shepard is

Frances E. Willard says; "The highest cvou-
ton is not for woman to work alone and man to
work alone, but for man and woman TO work to-
gether. The mistake of the world has been that
they did not do so, and the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union can do much by setting better
keynote. Let us not think that every position in
