She Knew Low DOWN Taik.

When General o. o. Howard was march
ing down through Tennessee, General
Whittlesey, late President of the Freed
mans Bank, was Assistant Adutant- Cen
eral on his staff. Whittlesey had been a
clergyman down in Maine, and was fully
as straight-laced as Howard. One day
Howard drove into a farm-yard from
which Whittlesey was Just departing. A
woman and her grown daughter were
standing outside the door.
!"My good woman" said Howard, "will
you kindly give me drink of water?
mo. Get out of my yard. A lot Of
more impudent Yankees never seed"
But | have done nothing and said
nothing out of the way, and will severely
punish any of my soldiers who should say
or do anything wrong"
That sojer insulted me-" said she.
pointing to the retreating form of General
Whittlesey. "He axed me for drink of
water and when done give it TO him he
sassed me-"
"But-but that is General Whittlesey of
my staff. ! am sure he wouldn't be rude
to any woman"
"Now," said the girl, pulling her
mothers dress, 81 reckon he moughn't
have meant anything misbeholden."
"Hush; don't l know low-down black
guard talk when l hears it? He asked
me what was the State of my natiyity ?''

grows softer and more pliaGle with every
pull. Now the probation of the gloves in
back-street basement is over, and they are
taken, stlll in the shape of the kid, to the
shop, in a fashionable thoroughfare, where
they are made up.
Before any cutting or sewing begins the
shaving process is continued, not with
rough-looking tin, but with a BIG, broad,
polished steel instrument, like greatly
magnitied chisel. The operator stretches
out the skin before him on a marble slab,
and the amount of matter he takes of,
pushing his instrument before him, is sim
ply amazing. You wouldn't think there
would be enough left to make face veil,
much less gloves, and yet this house CON
slders that skin shaved too close is not
serviceable nor calculated to make good
hit. OF course, if the gloves are to be what
we call dressed gloves, only one side of
the skin is shaved, the other side being
LETT IN its natural smoothness for the outer
side OF the gloves; but if the more popular
Suede, or undressed glove, is to be made
(both names are arbitrary and meaninglessl
then both sides may be shaved, though It
Is still the under, now to be the outer, that
receives the most attention.
After stuff enough had been shaved off
to outweigh, one would think, a pair of
gloves, the cutting proper begins Is your
hand the ordinary, everyday hand of
commerce? Then that is money in your
pocket now. Your glove can be cut with
die. If it has extraordinarily short I'm
gers or extraordinarily long ones, or is un-
commonly thick or distresSingly thin, then
your measurements will be taken and your
single pair of gloves cut out with the
shears by skilled laborer in time that
would suffice for novice to cut hundred
pairs with the die In both kinds of cut
ting there is a good deal OF waste, and the
scraps are gathered up to cut thumbs from
and TO make bindings. The sewing is
done on a machine on the principle of the
ordinary sewing machine, but its needle
works horizontally This work is done by
girls, and they, too, are nearly all French,
or French-American
The ordinary plain stitching, or what
used to be the ordinary thing, is done on
the machine, but the embroidered backs,
now SO generally used. are done by hand,
though little machine punches the holes
Tor the needle to so through Little girls
sew on the buttons, and We all know how
badly those little girls neglect their work.
When have to stop on the way to a we'd
ding to sew the buttons on my new gloves,
l wish some one would start a society for
the inculcation of moral principle in little
girls who sew on glove buttons. The really
wonderful thing about the gray-green
gloves is that they come home the precise
shade of the sample. although the color
after dyeing changed with every subse-
quent process | have described, so nicely
could that little red headed exile from
Paris calculate his effects.

For the benefit of timid women who are
afraid of breaking conventional rules and
shocking their relatives and friends, it
would be well if some one would establish
a new order of mourning, with Limitations
as to the length of time it should be worn.
For there are plenty of women who never
consult their own feelings in such matters,
but depend entirely upon what Mrs. So
and-So does, or wears, and follow her ex-
ample blindly. But, after all, would it
not be better to consult ones feelings,
purse and common sense in the matter of
mourning and wearing mourning? Re-
spect should be paid 10 the memory of the
dead, but there are the duties to the liv.
ing that cannot be properly performed if
ones whole time is given over to mourn
ing and the dismal bombazine is the only
gown that is worn.

Points in Tennis.

The main points, then, are: When wait
ing-to stand with the feet little apart,
and with the weight divided between
them, the knees bent, the body and head
thrown forward, and to never stand quite
still.
When moying-to start early, to take
moderate steps, and not long strides.
When striking-to strike quietly with
the weight thrown forward into the ball,
Never flourish the racket beforehand. The

Live white Owl.

A beautiful live white owl is on exhibi-
tion at music store in Louisville, KY. 1t
was sent by l.. j. Smith, of Niagara Falls,
and belongs TO very rare species. 1t was
captured by young hunter IN the woods
near Quebec. 1t was found in hollow
tree, and was secured with a net. The
habitanon of the bird is in the extreme
north, so MIR. Smith wrote them when he
sent the owl, and only extremely cold
weather drives it as far south as Quebec.
So far as known only seven of the birds
have been captured or killed in Canada
during the last three years. The one on
exhibition is perfect specimen. 1t is snow
white, and about the size and shape of the
common large owl.

1t is proposed by p Lorillard and few
others to inclose Jerome Park with glass,
light it with electricity, and use it for
winter racing at night. The scheme is
believed to be feasible, and estimates and

grounds from the center of the city in

AN ABsoLuTE PARApox.

"Farcical comedy" is misnomer, if not
an absolute paradox. For as everybody
knows, the comedy was as distinct from
the farce as it was possible to make it. and
farce was the name given to the broadest,
most ridiculous and lowest kind of comic
matter. In other words, comedy suggested
skill, dignity, literary style and real define
alton of character; farce suggested buff
foonery, absence of reality, either in char
acter or protraiture. and total want of
anything that could in the remotest way
lay claim to place in literature. Thus
the coupling of the two terms was dram
atically heterodox, if not as absurd as the
entertainment itself

coming from the Union Square Theater

4 Stupid Bigamist..

stupidity was admitted in one
of the Berlin law courts, as an ex-
tenuating circumstance in a case of
bigamy. The defendant. Pole, had
married some years ago native OF
his own village, who had borne him
four children. The greater part Of
the year he was absent from home,
like many Polish Workmen,, working
elsewhere. In. the winter when he was
at home, his better half mingled with
her caresses bitter reproaches because
he did not earn so much as his COM
rades. AS this kind of welcome re-
peated itself every year, the little
reason that he is now judged to pos
sess suggested to him that it was
m ore prudent to quit his home for
ever. He came to Berlin, and here
also,his want Of common sense made
him yield to the temptation to get
married again. When summoned be-
fore the court the Judge duly ex-
planned to him the enormity of the,
crime of bigamy, reminding him that
we were not living in Turkey. His
legal and geographical knowledge
could not bring the matter home to
him, and he excused himself on
the ground that, as he had not seen
his wife for four years, he did not
consider there was any, harm in
marrying. a second time. The public
prosecutor asked that the defendant
should be sentenced to two years
IMPRISONMENT. with hard labor, but
the Judge wisely took a lenient view
of the case, announcing that the
boundless stupidity Of the prisoner
was an extenuating circumstance.
and therefore he would only sentence
him to imprisonment for one year
and half.-London Telegraph.

Oregon Normal School Notes.

The Oregon State Normal School
is beautifully located at Monmouth,
a small town about twelve miles
from the city of Salem.
The climate of the valley is very
pleasant and healthful and the
country affords abundance of agri-
cultural productions. The Normal
School is making rapid progress in
the erection of their new building,
containing the new chapel and re-
citation rooms, which will soon be
in good order. At present there
is an attendance of about one hum
dred and fifty students, and many
new students are expected before the
expiration of the term. There are
three societies connected with the
school; two for the gentlemen and
one for the ladies; also two athletic
associations, the young ladies gym
nastic club being organized this
year. The young lady students
have become quite interested in
their physical training, under the
direction of Prof. Foothill, who is
an excellent teacher. The faculty
is composed of some of the finest
teachers to be found on the Pacific
Coast, under whose charge students
anticipate successful future. The
town of Monmouth is comprised of
a population of five hundred in
habitants and is building up very
rapidly. There. are also being err
ected several new business and
dwelling houses; one particularly
to be noticed is the new bank, which
is of brick. Besides the Normal
School there is also a graded public
school, with an attendance of about
one hundred and thirty pupils. At
present the weather greatly re-
sembles spring, and notwithstand-
ing the month of November, wild
strawberries have been found in the
hills. This fact may be of interest
to Eastern Oregonians.
