PERTAINING TO WOMEN.

Lewiston, Me-, has nearly sixty deal
erS who pay the United States tax, and
most of whom are undoubtedly rum
sellers. OF these seven are women.
A dispensary has just been opened in
Paris which was built and endowed by
Nine. Edouard Andre, who gave her
jewels to the Philanthropic society for
this purpose. The sale of the Jewels
brought $4,000.
The Young Ladies' Journal says that
honeymoon hotel is suggested, either
in ''the sweetest part of Devon or 1.-The
sweetest part of Wales" This is very
sugary idea. In Germany, where they
are so very sentimental, and eat their
bread and butter between parenthetical
signs and kissing, they have the iustitu-
ton called the honeymoon hotel. There
is one on the banks of the Rhine, just
above Oppenhelm.
The queen has the reputation of being

Christmas and New Year cards sent her
during the last few years by her imme-

grandmamma," the binder has been
specially ordered to mount them in such
a manner as to permit of the inscription
being seen.
AT recent public reception in Wash
ingt0n the president was shaking the
hand of thick-lipped son of Ham,
while his wife was smiling a pleasant
greeting on the ebony consort of that
worthy. Near the end of the line
poor young girl, whose figure, tall and
slight as young sapling, was wrapped
in a plaid shawl, and whose face showed
the pinched and transparent look left
by the ravageS of consumption, had
stopped and was shaking with long
white hand the iridescent trimming
which glittered about the plump should
erS of fair young girl high in official
circles, and saying the while in a thin,
though gleeful voice: Yer so pretty,
yer so prettyl Deed, miss, | hope

lovely in this bright, shiny stuff | mos

speaking, an attendant had stepped up
to make her move on, but was stopped
with motion by the young girl who
looked ''moS' like an angel" Grasping
the poor hand that was stroking her,
says correspondent of the New York
{ Tribune. she thrust the great bunch of
pink roses she was carrying into it, and
turned scarlet face to the next conner.

Knows How to Shop,

What blessing to her family and to
the community at large, says writer
in the Philadelphia Inquirer, is the
clear-headed, sensible woman who
knows just what she wants and buys
accordingly; fights shy of the bargain
counter and auction room; does not con-
slider anything cheap that she does not
need, and scorns to struggle with bur
ly-burly mob of people for the sake Of
securing an article for two cents less
than the regular price. TO shop with
discretion and follow the beacon light
of economy is to avoid the shoals and
sandbars of extravaganza. Those who
do not need to count the cost of what
they buy are in the minority, and hence
this matter of shopping should be so
cultivated that it will become an art.
Indeed, it should be recognized as part
of a girls education to shop wisely and
well. Even the most careful of mothers
give this all-important matter but little
thought. Music, art, and the languages
are added to substantial English edu-
cation, with perhaps few lessons in
cookery thrown in, but where is teach
er or parent to be found who thinks it
necessary to so train girl in the art of
shopping that she will be brought to
consider thrifty management not
bore, but most womanly accomplish
ment, that once acquired will bring with
it delightful feeling of Self-rellance?

THEY MUST SUBMIT.

The indications are that the deal that
put the capital and public institutions
of North Dakota into the constitution
also comprised the state officers, SEN
ators and representatives. The Grand
Forks Herald states positively thatsuc
is the fact, and insists that the slate
must be broken or it will endanger the
success of the Republican ticket. This
idea is saturated with ingratitude to the
gentlemen who have remained in or re-
turned to the rising state in order to fill
its chief stations. If they have added
to their slate the division of the good
things, it is hardly their fault that some
omissions were had. They have done
their best to relieve the people from all
concern about their affairs. Their
shoulders have been put to the load, and
all the people are expected to do is to
bow submissively to the orderings of
the political syndicate.

She Won the Umbrella.

Warrenton (Ga.) Clipper.
W. J. Norris, a prominent merchan
of our town, thought to back down ono
of our young ladies would be a nice
thing, so made her the following propo-
sition last Saturday evening: That il
she would take little 10-cent parasol,
which is about the size of palmetto
fan, hoist it and walk up Main street a
certain distance and return, carrying il
over her all the way, that he would
give her silk umbrella. She at first
hesitated, but, after making numerous
futile attempts, finally made off with
the little mushrOom-shaped concern held
aloft over her graceful form. She re.
turned in few min uteS bearing a note
with the signatures of a number of the
clerks attached stating that she had
passed by or arrived at their stores with
the Darasol in position. Mr.. Norris
gracefully turned over the umbrella to
its rightful owner, and the young lady
departed with two umbrellas instead OF
one. Mr.. Norris will hardly make an
other such offer soon.

"Ah! exactly see!" stammered the

protest or struggle and bolted for

who had witnessed the affair.
"Wel-er-,well | suppose l picked

He stood looking after the umbrella
for minute or two, a sad expression on
his face, and then suddenly uttered
great oath and slapped his leg.

Women Are Not Jokers.

Washin gton Post.
Women as rule are not fond of
jokes; they listen to clever stories with
simulated amusement and forget them
Immediately. The reason for this lies
in one of the essentials in the makeup
of woman her profound and tender
sympathy. HumOr deals with the
weakness of humanity; it exposes fol-
bles and punctures tender skin. HUI
NOR sets the world laughing at some
blunder of man. 1t is woman nature
to cover up, excuse, and reform. Fol-
lies are too serious in her eyes TO laugh
at. If women were humOrists they
would not be the most earnest church
workers, the most tender of nurses, and
the most sentimental and refined pro-
ton of humanity. The same inherent
quality which would make true woni-
an, real woman, shrink as judge
from pronouncing death sentence. or
as soldier from shooting an enemy
through the heart, makes it impossible
for her to become humOrist. Wit
woman may have. wit she does possess,
and is a formidable adversary with her
stietto points of irony and satire. But
humorous in the common acceptation
of the term, in the careless, rollieking,
singing art of current quips and jeSts

Evening Dress Forty Years Ago.

CNChAn~ AAOSS AOAaJ - CIAS NAS7C-
Few ladies who ''follow the fashions"
or who consult the hundred and one
fashion periodicals poured out from the
press every month and every week,
have any idea of the extreme simplicity
of the patterns of female attire which
were in vogue fifty and even forty
years ago. 1t is sufficient to say that
the bodice and the skirt of the dress
were generally in one piece; that the
gown fastened by hooks and eyes be-
hind; that the skirts were never
"draped;" and that their sole orna-
mentation was nothing but founces.
The only practical way in which a
lady could show that she was in full
dress was to show low-necked dress
and to bare her arms. Moreover,
bodices were, when made low, uni.
verSally cut horizontally instead OF on
bias, and the female novelsts of the
last generation found unfailing material
of fun in depicting the tormentS OF
growing girls at evening parties in their
endeavOrS to prevent their low-necked
frocks from slipping off their shoulders:
When lady went to court she glorihed
herelf with train, tall ''panache" OF
plumes, and as many diamonds as for
tune had favored her with; otherwise
the cut of her gown did not materially
differ from that of the school girls low
neCked muslin frock.

eagles tail feathers in his mouth,

enjoy the fun exceedingly. But once
