How to Coax a Man to Propose.
An elderly man was telling a group
OF giddy young girls the other day how
he proposed to his wife when he was a
young man. She was sewing ut the time.
he said, or he never would have had
the courage TO- do it. If girls would
sew more he thinks they would have
moro matrimonial chances. Sewing he
considers the best accomplishment that
a woman can have. A woman engaged
with a needle has domestic, homelike
air that is irresistible to maa who
loves her. 1t is a picture of what she
would be in her own home. and makes
him long that it should be his also.
How can q man propose to a girl who
sits straight up in her chair stariag
hard at him with pair of bright eyese
But when she is bending gracefully over
q bit of plain Or fancy sewing, apparent
lip absorbed In counting stitches, and
the arrows of her eyes are sheathed for
a few minutes, he plucks up courage
enough to offer her his heart and hand.
The average young man is bashful in
such affairs, though bold enough at
other times, and needs announcement
and opportunities. What sort of en-.
enlargement is pair of bright eyes
staring into his. watching his embar-
rassmenta Listen to the advice of an
old man who has been all through it;
drop your eyes and give the young man
q chance. Remember this, girls. when
the favorite young man drops in to
make an evening visit, get out your bit
Of fancy work and look domestic, and
with every stitch of your needle you
will bind his heart more firmly to YOU,
own.
This IS the advantage that the English
girls are said to possess over the Amer;-
can girls-they are more domestic; if
they shine less brilliantly in society than
their American sisters their domestic viz
tues shed a steady luster in their houses
es. This, of course, is looking at the
question from an English point of view.
The American girls are capable of doing
both; domesticity is not incompatible
with social brilliancy, and many of
society's queens are careful housekeep-
ers and devoted wives and mothers,
keeping their sweetest words and smiles
for their own homes.-New York Star.

That Of Phllad deiphia Lady.
Each scholar In the Philadelphia
kindergarten Training school who
owns q Bland silver dollar possesses q
arst-rate picture of'his or her teacher.
The confirmation by the Board ol
Education ofs the selection OF Miss
Anne NJ, Williams as instructor Of
philosophy and methods of kinder.
garten training is the latest laurel in
the already fame-bestrewn path of
that lady. whose classic features have
been stamped on millions OF silver
discs. a., Ten years ago Miss Williams
suddenly became famous when the
interesting announcement was made
that her face was the original Of the
Goddess, Of Liberty on, that much
abused, much-admired and equally as
much disliked Bland dollar.
The discovery was due to the efforts
OF a reporter who worked eighteen
months in tracing out the original of
the goddess. The friends OF Miss
Williams placed every conceivable
obstruction in the way, but unsuccess-
fully. The story OF Miss Williams
connection with the stamp upon the
coin is' interesting. In the early part
of 1876 the Treasury Department.
secured through communication with
the Royal Mint Of England the services
OF clever. young designer and en-
graver named George Morgan. Upon
his arrival in this country the young
engraver was located at the Philadel-
Phia mint. and was assigned the task
OF making a design for a new silver
dollar. 4f.ls So
After months OF patient work he
completed his design for the reverse
side OF the coin. on which he represent.
the American eagle. His attention was
then turned to the other side and his
first inclination was TO place on it a
fanciful head of the Goddess of Liber.
ty. But the young designer was too
much of a realist to be pleased with q
mere work of fancy. Finally he de-
termined that the head should be the
representation OF some American girl,
and he forthwith diligently searched
for his beautious ideal. Through q
friend who had spoken to him of the
classic profile OF Miss Williams face
hc sought and obtained her acquaint-
ance. Miss Williams was with Difficult
ty induced by her friends to pose be-
fore an artist and after five sittings the
design was completed. The young de-
signer declared that the: profile was
the most perfect he had ever seen in
England or this country. Miss Will
liams, around whom this web of ro-
nance ana fame clings. is very esti-
mable young lady. She resides with
her mother and aunt at 1923 Spring
Garden street. She is still pretty
blonde, with pearl-like complexion, is
below tho average hight and
possesses graceful, aplomb figure.

A NEW HORROR.
Wrappers for Cigars Now Made OF
Patent Rye.straw Paner.

Wrappers for Cigars Now Made OF
Patent Rye-straw Paper.
Among the latest limitations which
have been successfully introduced into
the tobacco trade of this and other cit
les, says the Pittsburg Commercial Ga
zette, are cigars the wrappers of which
are made out of a specially prepared
paper. A gentleman we'll known in the
iron manufacturing circles of this vi
cinity was the first toiinform one of our
reporters that smoking material of this
kind was new in the market. He has
recently returned from visit to Nor.
folk, Va, where he met drummer for
large tobacco factory of New York
state. This gentleman informed the
Pittsburger that he was then introdu.
cling an imitation cigar wrapper which
was SO deceiving in its character that
experts could scarcely distinguish il
from the genuine. 49,.
This preparation was made from rye
straw, and one portion of the process
was to steep the material in strong
solution made from tobacco stems. The
grain of the straw together with the
manner in" which the material was
dressed would lead any person to sup
pose that it was samp e of the leaf
used in making wrappers for cigars of
more than ordinary quality. The, fla
vor of tobacco was also present, owing
to the paper having been immersed in
the solution made from the genuine
article.
The gentlemen subsequently ex-
amined cigars on sale in Norfolk aud
discovered that they were made with
these patent wrappers. The samples
examined were of an extra fine quality.
The drummer stated that the firm
which he represented was making tons
OF this material and shipping it to all
the leading cities Of the country. Pa
per made from rye straw is the only
kind that can be successfully used for
that purpose, as all other kinds of pa
per can easily be detected by the
smoker. The new material ia also used
for filters in certain classes Of cigars.
Il Is very cheap and can be sold greatly
below the price paid for genuine leaf.
Awell-known tobacco salesman in this
city, when asked yesterday;if cigars of
that kind were sold here, repl ed in the
affirmative. He has seen numerous
samples and they were very hard to
detect. .... 4
Extensive dealers in leaf tobacco said
that the existence Of preparation of
this kind was news to them. They felt
that its success would be short.lived. as
he:trade would soon discover the de.
ceit, and then a mighty effort would be
made to drive cigars made with bogus
leaf out Of the market.

The unanimity with which the Press
OF this country approves the plan to
celebrate in New York the four hum
dredth anniversary Of the discovery Of
America. must be highly gratifying to
the promoters Of that enterprise.
Without an exception the voices are all
in favor of New York as the place for
1t. and all are in hearty sympathy with
the motives of the celebration-the why
of it, If you please. The celebration is
not so much to sound the praise Of
America, though this will form q
prominent feature, of course; not SO
much to exhibit American progress,
though American progress will be con-
spicious everywhere at the great expo
sition; 1t is rather to commemorate the
greatest event the world has Witnessed
since the immaculate child came out of
Bethlehem. It was an event that did
not alone concern the western half of
the globe. The discovery made by the
ev" AS from Genoa exerted an influence
upon Europe almost as radical as upon
the natives Of this hemisphere.
In the lasthalf Of the fifteenth centu-
ry Europe was under the dominance of
lot of hereditary tyrants. Political
and religious freedom for more than q
dozen centuries had been dead. Intol-
erance obtained IN every quarter Of the
continent. The Jews. Decauseof their
creed, had been driven from Spain and
their wealth confiscated. Russia was
q comparatively unknown country.
France was ruled by a family OF de-
bauchees. England by big ots who held
human life as cheap, while Germany
and italy we're divided into an almost
endless number Of petty principalities
where the word Of the prince was law.
The return to Europe OF the great mar
liner marked the beginning OF new
era. In America the oppressed at
once found refuge. The discoveries
OF Columbus marked change for the
better In the worlds history so radical l
and SO pronounced that it has been
likened unto that change begun in
Judea nearly 1900 years ago.
The Norsemen may have come to
the shores along Massachusetts bay be-
fore Columbus conceived the wondrous
undertaking. The vikings may have
sailed to America, but they died and
left no sign. From their discovery
there was no outcome. The world was
not made the wiser. Their services
were OF no more value than those of
the nations found here whose ancestors
may have reached the continent by
way OF the west. Certain it Is that the

It's rather a curious reflection that
In. those countries where women's
rights are most completely non-exis-
tent. there the specially womanly duties
ofwomen are the most grossly neglect!
ed, says the Fortnightly Review. Tray.
elers in Egypt. for instance, tell us
that when the bells call the hour OF
prayer every man stops whatever work
he is engaged in and prostrates him
self to Allah. No woman takes any
notice of the sound. She is too low in
the scale Of humanity to make her trib-
ute to the Almighty worthy OF accep-
tance. She ranks in this respect
almost with the brute creation. She
is not withdrawn from her, domestic
duties by the claims Of religion upon
her time and thoughts. And yet the
same travellers tell us. that one Of the
horrors of Egyptian life is the fearful
neglect from which the children suffer.
The poor little creatures are incrusted
by dirt and sores and are swarming
with varmin. Children are frequently
seen lying in their mothers arms with
six or eight fles neach eye. Ophthalmia
and various kinds Of blindness are of
course very prevalent, although death
releases an enormously large propor-
tion of the children from their suffer-
ings. Three out of every five children
who are born die during infancy, and
of those who survive one in every
twenty is blind. This Is being ''thor-
oughly masculine" with vengence,
and points an instructive moral Us to the
consequences upon the character Of
women of the denial Of liberty, educa-
tion, and responsibility. The harem
life OF oriental ladies Of high rank is
dull and vacuous to the last degree.
They play with their jewels, cat sweet
meats. and smoke pipes, and thus their
day passes. If their children are i'll
they are hopelessly bewildered and ut
terly unable to take care of them.
They cling with touching reverence to
any average English or American wo-

implore her aid in doing the simplest

ailing Children, Nothing astonishes
orientals more than the position of wo-
men in England, AChiaese mandarin
has lately published his views on this
subject. Women, he says, are even
helped at meals before men. In his
country the men eat first, and when
they have quite finished, If anything is
left, the women are allowed to have it.

In the Philadelphia Times a day or

wealthy woman stealing large amount
OF SILK and costly goods from q store.
W hen the case came before court the
lady was cleared upon the testimony OF

was kleptonanlac and could not help
what she did. The same paper con
tanned an account Of u poor hulf-staryed
woman being convicted and sent to intl

inspired the following lines from Or. j /.
