WOMEN WITH LATCH KEYS.
Brooklyn, Ladies' Organize TOGO to New York
TheateFs Without Escorts.
New York sun


Theaters Without Escorts.
New York Sun.
Some independent Brooklyn ladies who
have been deprived of amusements and
musical entertainments in New York be-
cause of lack of escorts have organized a
society and go in groups to whatever
place of amusement they desire. Musical
members attend the concerts and the
operas, and those of theatrical
likings go to the plays. Seats
are secured in advance, and where
concerts are attended course tickets
are usually taken The members go
alone or meet at the bridge entrance, and
return together. If there is any strength
III union they get that, and they are re-
lieved of the necessity of having to de-
pend upon tired fathers or brothers, nus
bands or sons, and have better time
with a eongenial friend who does no
grumbling about the distance or expense.
AS to the latter point, it is an economical
arrangement, for but one of family
need go unless there is a desire.
first, in some households there was
opposition to an arrangement which per-
mitted the women TO carry night keys
society is too strong for successful Oppo-
sition now, and it is no uncommon sight
for ladies to be seen late at night crossing
the bridge alone after an evening at the
theater.
One night last week, at the first per-
Torrance of q Siegfried - at the Metro
politan opera house. several members of
the society found themselves in New York
at late hour, and, through delays,
they did not reach Brooklyn until l
clock. The elevated cars were not run
ming and the street cars were slow so it was
very late when latch keys were used. AT
a meeting the following day it was re-
solved that never again would any MEM
her take the Broadway street cars after
y 'elock, nor under any circumstances
whatever be induced to go to South Ferry
and depend upon the boats. Another
resolution was that the officials of the
Brooklyn elevated roads were to be petit
toned to keep ears running until
'clock at night.
The members of this real women IS
rights society declare that Brooklyn
stands in as great need as ever before of
rapid transit connection with the center
of New York. The east side cars are too
far east of Broadway and the Sixth
avenue ears are too far west and do not
connect with the bridge. The iuconven-
fence of walking from Park place and
Church street across the city hall park at
night is realized more fully by women
than by men, and by the members of
this evening society more than by any
other of the sex in Brooklyn, and, as the
street ears are so slow, these patrons of
New York operas and plays take two
lines of cars, so as to reach the east side
elevated cars and thus enter their own
city gates by midnight.

ECONOMY IN CHINA.
No Waste Of Food-Not Choice as to Meat.
Saving Fuel-Dress.
China Herald

China Herald.
The Chinese are pre-eminently eoonomi-
cal, whether it be in limiting the number
of wants, in preventing waste, or in ad-
justing forces in such manner as to
make little represent a great deal. The
universal diet consists of rice, beans
millet 6AJien vegetables and fish, with
little meat on high festivals Wholesome
food in abundance may be supplied at
less than penny day for each adult, and
even in famine times thousands of per-
sons have been kept alive for months on
about half penny a day each. This i'm
plies the existence of a high degree of
culinary skill in the Chinese. Their
modes of preparing food are thorough and
various. There is no waste; everything
is made to do as much duty as possible
What is left is..the veriest trifie. The phys
zeal condition of the Chinese dog or cat :,
who has to live on the leaYings of the
family shows this: they are clearly kept
on starvation allowances.
The Chinese are not extremely fastidi-
GUS in regard to food; all is fish that
comes to their net, and most things
come there sooner or later. In the north
the horse, the mule, the donkey are in
universal use, and in some districts the
camel also does duty. 1t must be under
stood that the practice is TO eat all of
these animals as soon as they expire
whether the cause of death be accident
old age or disease. This is done as a
matter of course, and the fact that the
animal died of an epidemic malady does
not alter its ultimate destination Certain
disturbances of'the human organization
due TO eating diseased meat, are well
recognized among the people; but it is
considered better to eat the meat, the
cheapness of which is certain, and run
the risk of the consequences, which are
not quite certain, than to buy dear meat
even with the assurance CT no evil re-
suits. Indeed, the meat of animals
which have died of ordinary ailments is
rather dearer than that of those which
have died in an epidemic, such as pleuro-
pneumonia.
Another example Of careful, calculat-
ing economy is the construction of the
cooking pots and boilers, the bottoms of
which are as thin as possible that the
contents may boil all the sooner, for fuel
is scarce and dear, and consists generally
of nothing but the stalks and roots of the
crops, which make a rapid blaze and
disappear The business of gathering
fuel is committed to children, for one
who can do nothing else can at least pick
up straws and leaves and weeds. In
autumn and winter vast army of fuel
gatherers spread over the land; boys
ascend trees and beat them with
clubs to shake of the leaves; the very
straWs get no time to show which way
the wind blows before they are annexed
by some enterprising collector. Similar
ly professional manure collectors swarm

nese women carry this minute economy
into their dress; nothing comes amiss to
them; e Is il not used in one place it Is in
another where it appears q thing of
beauty Foreign residents who give their
east off clothes away to Chinese may be
assured that the career of usefulness of
these garments is at last about to com
menee.
Chinese wheeibarroWS squeak for the
want of q few drops of oil; but to peo-
pie who have no nerves the squeak IS
cheaper than the oil. Similarly dirt Is
cheaper than hot wafer, and so, as
rule, the people do not wash; the motto,
ssCheaper than dirt, - which the soap
dealer puts in his windows, could not be
made ineligible to the Chinese. To
them the average foreigners are mere
soap wasters. Scarcely any tool can
be got ready made; it is so much
cheaper to buY the parts and put them
together for yourself, and as almost
everybody takes this view, ready-Inade
tools are not 10 be got. Two rooms are
dimly lighted with a single lamp deity
placed in hole in the dividing wall .
Chinese, in fact, seem to be capable of
doing almost anything by means of almost
nothing. They will give you an
of completeness in backyard,
and viii make in an hour cooking
range, of strong and perfect draught,
out of pile of mud bricks, lasting indef-
initely, operating perfectly and costing
nothing. The old woman who in her last
moments hobbled as -near as possible TO
the family graveyard in order 60 die, so
as to avoid the expense of coffin bearers
for so long distance, was character

night of the old year. Il is as if some
one were dying in the darkness.
But the power of a strong mind to tTi-

the great lessons of George Eliot 3 life,

years ago.
Would it not be wise to try the plan Of
the great novelist for the coming twelve
month, and instead of being worried by
the small evils of life, dwell on the good
that is given US? Such plan, faithfully
carried ont would result in making 1883
far happier year for us than would any
number of good resolutions, easily made
and soon forgotten.

Idiotic Treatment of Babies.
America

few years ago I crossed Fulton ferry
and the boat was packed with people and
children The people didn t care about
the children l did. Possibly the children
without the people would have been a
pronounced nuisance, but as it was had
my temper sorely tried and my patience
too, as watched the idiOtic way in which
tender, thoughtful, kind-hearted women
treated their babies, babies who in thirty
years from now will know more in q min
ute than I know in all my lifetime
Whenever I see woman throw her baby
in the air, making the little ''cuss'' pale
with fear, breathless, and as red and
white as the American flag, feel like
breaking the commandment saying
"'cuss'' words, and Draining her
on the spot; yet they all do it.
Did you ever think what baby has to put
up with? Thy father rumples its clothes
and pitches it mp 10 the ceiling. The
mother smothers it, hugs it, and squeezes
it until its little face il as red as berry
and the nurse-well, the nurse, esneei-
ally if she s fat and wheezy, sticks her
fingers in its mouth, rams her thumb
down its throat, and stootsey-wootseys ,
in its face till the poor child must wish It
was where it came from.

the request of farmers near Austin, the
first Farmers Institute of Texas will be
held at Austin, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, February 7, s and 8, 1899
The exact programme will be announced
later through these columns and through
the state press. Besides local talent the
following gentlemen have been requested
to deliver addresses and read papers on
that occasion: Governor o. NJ. Roberts !,
opening address; Commissioner l. L.
Foster, Needs of Texas Agriculture;
Captain John Edgar, County Roads;
Professor T. A. Gulley, Tile Drainage of
Texas; George w. Curtis, Aoolimation
of Imported Cattle; Colonel w. F..
Hughes, Experience with Thoroughbred
Cattle; Dr. J. D. Fields, Marketing
Farm Products; W. s. Marshall, Wind
mills on the Farm: W. A. Clark, W. p.
Hancock, Major a. J Rose and several
others whose subjects have not been

The meeting, even at this early date !,
promises to be q great success. We
earnestly invite farmers from all over
the state TO meet with us and to come
prepared to discuss the subjects men,
toned and to propose others which may
occur TO them as of interest to their sec
ton or vital to Texas agriculture.
We request the press of the state to
give notoriety to the movement and in
this way assist what we believe viii prove
of greater direct benefit TO the material
interests of Texas than anything yet pro-
posed.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
1t VIII Make One Far Happier During the
Year Just Begun


Year Just Begun.
Boston Globe.
That large class of people who grow
gloomy toward the end of the year, and
who make any reference to time an oe-
casion for giving their speech a solemn
cast, might study with profit the entries
which are found at the close of the diff
ferent years in the journals OF George
Eliot and LongfelIew. The American
poet has heartiness and ehee=fulness in
his records which we should expect from
one who always looked on the bright
side, while the English novelist
although constant victim of i'll
health, was fully as successful in drawing
pleasant and helpful lessons from the
feeting years. 81 have been helped .
