but irregular and jerky, so that you are

his worst fault is that he steps on YOUR

OF becoming a professional partner in

Mrs. Logan's Scheme.

An excellent project, said to be de-
vised by Mrs. Logan, is thus described
by the Minneapolis Tribune:
In Germany there is a custom which
sounds as if it were a survival from
the middle ages, when the boys were
sent to the great families to be trained
as pages, and girls learned to spin,
sew, embroider, brew, and bake under
the supervision of the chatelaine of
castle. This custom, in it's modern
form. is to send girls, after they have
finished school, to live year in the
household of some noted house wife,
who teaches them all the accomplish
ments which it is held fitting a haus-
mutter should acquire. Many women
in Germany who are left widowed and
in need of money, keep their homes in
this way. They take as inmates young
ladies, who are given year of train
ing in housekeeping. They are taught
all the mysteries of washing paint so
that il will not peel; of sweeping car
pets so that the nap is not taken away
with the dust. They learn how floors
should be waXed to look like glass,
and old mahogany polished to resemble
a mirror; how silver should be cleaned
and china and glass properly washed;
what will soonest cleanse and brighten
mirrors and windows; how lamps are
kept in order, and what is the secret
of the satin gloss of properly laundried
linen. They learn how to market, to
choose the best meat, fish, and vege-
tables, and how they should be cooked
to be tender and we'll favored. Their
pastry falls into flakes at a touch,
their bread and rolls are light and
sweet. They know how to can, pre-
serve, and bottle all sorts of fruits and
just how tables should be set, dinners
served, and wines cooled. They know
the art of bed-making, busting, pack
ing, arranging closets, and regulating
servants work, and they are taught all
the important rudiments of needle
work. At the end of the year they are
fitted to run a house economically,
literally, and with oiled wheels, war
ranted not to squeak. This is the sys-
tenn Mrs. Logan is making a study,
and her idea is to found just such
home in this country where girls can
take postgraduate course of a year,
learning all these very important ac-
omplishments, which would 90 far to
negatiYing in many homes the sugges-
ton that marriage is a failure. She
thinks it is said, of founding the home
in Chicago, and has already some
twenty young women promised her to
begin with. She does not propose to
make the year all work and no play.
The home is to be a big, handsome
house. fitted with every comfort. sup
piled with books and music, and the
girls are to find that part of the curri-
cuIum is in learning through practical
experiments how to entertain in every
fashion. Mrs. Logan Is a woman of
great energy and executive ability, and
if she undertakes this project she may
be trusted to carry it out with benef-
cial results.

A Rich Mans Revenge.

Even the arbitrary power Of Prince
Bismarck can not prevent him from
receiving hard blows. The Berlin COR
respondent of the New York Tribune
writes as follows:
''Just opposite the palace of the
young Prince Leopold of Prussia, and
next to the chancellor's palace, on the
Wilhelm strasse, where half of Europe
is ruled at present, stands a house,
lofty and palatial in size, but with an
air of desolation, desertion and mys-
terry which attracts the attention of the
passer-by. 1t is larger than the home
of the chancellor. The windows are
closed, the blinds lowered, and the
great iron gate opening upon the
court, where grass has sprouted, is
barred and bolted. Theivy has grown
wild along the wall, and the marble
statues of Watt, Stephenson, Fulton
and score of mechanics, which fill
the inches of the front and sides, Civ
ing it the appearance of an interna-
tional tomb, are yellow with the re-
peated pelting of the rain. Between
the dark, gloomy, dungeon-like house
and the chancellor's palace, in fact
Will duJOinlHS Walls, are Tic SIdu1SS
ready Tor stud of horses and apart
ments for a coachman on the floor
above. Wrapped in this silence, tho
house stands to-day as it has stood for
years. 1t was the home of the great
Borsig, the German locomotive builder,
one of the wealthiest and brightest
men of Germany, and probably Bis
marck's most bitter enemy. The
chancellor had refused a request vital
to his interests, and he determined up
on revenge. He is long since dead.
but be lived long enough ere he left
his millions to an industrious son to
offend Bismarck more than any other
man. Borsig placed his stables almost
at Bismarck's kitchen door. No beg
ging could change his purpose, and no
money could change his lot. He had
need of none, and his revenge was
taken. Though the family of the
great engineer has long since left their
Wilhelmstrasse palace, the stables are
as conspicuous as ever

She Was Forced to Vacate.

When Chief Justice Chase left his
seat and stepped forward to administer
the oath to Grant an unknown woman
stepped out of the crowd behind the
chairs and took his place. When he
turned to resume his seat he saw that
it was occupied Reckoning the Mar
shall of the Supreme Court he said:
"Clear my seat" MADAM" said the
Marshal, turning politely to the wo-
man, ''you have taken the seat of the
Chief Justice, and he wants it again"
81 don't care" she responded sharply,
not budging an inch; 81 am free-bOrn
American citizen, and | have as much
right to it as the Chief Justice, and L
won't get up" Your Honor" said
he. turning to the Chief Justice, "you
hear what she says"
Clear my seat" said the Chief JUS
tice firmly, and with a look which
meant cor I'll have your official head
struck off," Moved by the look, if
not by the words, the Marshal turned
to the woman and said: Madam you
must surrender this seat. If you don't
| shall have to summon two negro
messengers to remove you by force.n
This brought her to her feet. Take
your old seat" she said, with a stamp
of her foot and mounting color in her
cheek, as she disappeared in the crowd,
while the Chief Justice took it with a
sigh of triumph, echoed by the Mar
shars sigh OF relief. : WashtugtOn Let
