A Good Clnb.

The Working Girls club, of 4O1 Shawmu, avenue, three years ago numbered eighteen girls and now there are 14O connected with it. There is no fund, no annual subscribers nor honorary members. The girls pay st 6 year and this entities them to all the class work. There has just been opened schoo to teach girls to read. In this work the girh of the club help and a large number of girls and women, principally of the servant classes gladly avail themselves of the opportunity. The club girls can all read. They join the cooking, dressmadng, millinery or singing classes, and help in all the charity work; fo1 although most of the club girls are in the fac tories and are poorly paid, they realize there is work to be done for the poor children. Once in two weeks twenty of the very poor children come to the club rooms for candy pulls, popcorn parties and games. the club girls entertaining them.-Woman's Journal Boston

THE TOILET OF DEATH.
Preparing French Criminals for the Fall
 of the GuiIlotine's Knife.

Preparing French Criminals for the Fall
 of the Guillotine's Knife.
 Toward or 5 o'clock, when everything Is ready outside, the warden of the prison, ac- companied by several officials, goes to the condemned mans cell and, shaking him by the shoulder, announces that his demand for pardon has been rejected, says a Paris let ter. As soon as the prisoner has dressed him. self he is, if he so desires, left alone with the chaplain for few moments; afterward he is led to the toilet room. First, his shirt collar is cut away sufficiently to allow the guillotine knife to fall upon his bare neck; then he is fastened with cord starting from the shoul- ders and connecting with another cord that binds the two wrists; a third cord goes from the wrist to the knees, where it is joined to another cord already passed around the legs. Thus strapped the culprit is obliged to march as straight as an l, with his head thrown back. When the preparations are ended the procession starts for the guillo- tine, the prisoner being supported by two of the headsman's aids and accompanied by the executioner, the chaplain and the other off cials. The huge prison doors are thrown open and the first object the condemned man sees is the black trapeziform knife, which, contrary to the general impression, is not concealed from his gaze. The distance from the door to the guillotine is scarcely twenty steps, and as soon as the criminal reaches the swinging board the chaplain quits him, the executioner seizes him and pushes him on to the bascule. Panl Pant click and thud; the fall of the knife, the heavy sound of the body falling into the brand box. The movements are almost simultaneous The knife falls The criminal disappears.
 As soon as the ceremony Is over the body is placed in a wagon and conveyed to 1vey cemetery, where it is buried in the turnip field. When the parents reclaim the body and it is inferred in another part of the ceme- tery no name is ever put upon the headstone, in order not to excite public curiosity. When the body is not reclaimed the prefect of police authorizes the faculty of medicine to take it. Strictly speaking, the corpse ought not to be delivered to the faculty until after twenty-four hours, this delay being accorded to the family to make its demand; but the custom is to give up the body immediately after simulated burial when the authorities arc certain that it will not be reclaimed.
 During the whole of this lugubrious cere- mony the chief executioner never touches the victim Tho toilet and ell the operations that require contact with his person are per formed by the aids.-Paris Letter.

 First Lady-''Well, if you listen to those piano men they will make you believe anything, but my experience has been that if you want a piano for actual use and not for show only, the Shonin- ger piano is the best. I have had my Shoninger piano in use for five years and it is as good as new to-day. My cousin, Mrs Ford, thought she had a splendid high-priced piano, but the tone got so wiry that she sent it to an auction room and bought Shoninger instead. I could tell you of ever so many more who have bought Shoninger's pianos, and if you get one you will never want to change it."
 Second Lady-''I have heard the Shoninger pianos very highly spoken of before. I think will take your advice. By the way, where is their warerooms.
