half of the profits The old spinster had a
large number OF patrons, which, under the
energetic spur of her American friend, was
readily increased. The partners had busy
time of it, and Miss - enjoyed more than
all her previous sightseeing the unexpected
glinpses into the homes of the rich and aristo-
cratic.
The plants in the window boxes, conserva-
tories and tiny gardens throve under their
united efforts, while the taste of the younger
and the skilled hands of the elder were SO
combined that the arrangement of the flowers
about the drawing rooms gave great salts
faction.
When the 18th of August brought the close
of the London season, the friends agreed to
renew the partnership next spring, the spin
ster declaring that she had never known so
prosperous a season. Miss -, equally
pleased, felt she had fully earned her three
weeks on the continent, previous to return
TO her native land.
The flower box craze, which was intro
duced in New York some years ago, was
very pretty, very much admired, but soon
died out, while other fashions both ugly and
senseless, have taken firm root.
Who VIII attempt to account for the vaga-
ries of fashion?
But the flower craze had two great draw
backs. People found that, for the boxes to
be ornamental, regular care and slight
knowledge Of plants were requisite. Then,
too, the flowers required light, and the sun
faded carpets and furniture.
To the latter, English people who dislike
newneSS do not object, while for the former
provision is made as we have seen and new
industry created.

Mark Twa;n's Drollcry.

Mark Twain at home is not more serious
than his writings would lead one to expect.
He has always been fond of perpetrating
jokes for which his wife has only Of late
years, through practical education, been able
to prepare herself.
When for instance, Mr. Clemens, on the
lecture platform, once drew out dilapidated
handkerchief, worn 10 shreds and after gaz-
ing at 1t in an astouishod fashion apoloCized,
saying that he had been 'obliged TO borrow
one from Mr.. -" naming some important
parsonage of the town, MS wife, sitting with
q friend IL the audience, has turned to her
neighbor in the most distressed way and
said:
People will think do not properly take
care of my husbands clothes
1t is trle that Mr.. Clemens has no tendency
toward dudishness, and that he sometimes
appears in a costume more befitting poor
author than a ps,biisber millionaire; but
everybody TO his taste He is careless and
absent minded, and sometimes forgets some
CT the requirements of the age for the ernbcl-
hshment of mankind

In silence she comes, In silence departs,
leaving behind her that order, neatness and
serenity which betoken well kept house.
These are her usual duties, but before and
after ball her day is buster
On the first occasion she must superintend
the removal of many articles of furniture
and bric-a-brac to save them from destruc-
ton and to make room for the guests
On the second occasion another valuable
! quality is called into play. She must recall
the particular place for each article, no mat
ter how tr'ifing-and see that 1t gets there.
That is easy enough, you say.
Try it. Not in your OWL particular sane
tum, over which you have spent hours of
| thought, and where each article has some
peculiar association, but in the room of a
stranger The result would arouse the pity

rooms in dozen houses. A mistake on her

| Last winter New York teacher had a
| throat trouble which demanded complete
rest. The doctor ordered change of air also.
| Teachers are not generally overburdened
with the worlds goods, ard this particular
one was no exceptions; the only relatives who
could receive her were in England, and she
went thither.
Her voice was slow, very slow, in return
ing. Spring came and though no hint was
given, she began TO feel that she was taxing
her cousins hospitality. Yet, where to go!
What to do2
In this predicament she paid visit to the
Botanical gardens at Kew, where her own
fondness for plants had often previously led
her.
The gardens had undergone no change since
her last visit. Everything seemed TO have
stood still awaiting her return even to tho
quaint, old fashioned gentlewOnan of nearly
half a century ago whom she had often OBJ
served and who this time accosted her.
Miss - returned to New York last Sep
TENDER with health restored, debts discharged
and purse not quite empty to resume her
old duties.
How had the miracle been wrought!
A casual remark about one flower had led
to observations on others, and each felt she
had met a kindred spirit. Miss - had not
the thorough knowledge of her new ac-
quaintance, who had made botany her hfe
long study, but her love for it was just as
keen and her eyesight far better.
''Ah! if had but that" signed the spin
ster, ~ would never give up my work"
Work" echoed the other. eff l could
only get some to do"
And thus was struck the keynote which
had led up to so successful Il result.
The old spinster was decayed gentlewom-
an who eked out q narrow income win
dow gardener. But old age and its infirlni
ties were bearing hard upon her, and what
was once pleasure had become pain.
Exactly who proposed the arrangement
neither could afterwards decide, and Miss
- declared that, like Topsy, it "growed;;"
but it ended in the teacher becoming the
window gardeners assistant and receiving a

number of occupations open to women has in
creased greatly during the last two decades,
but still the list, for many reasons, is much
more restricted than the list of callingS for
men.
The ordinary field is overcrOwded; hundreds
of teachers, bookkeepers, stenographers and
clerks of all descriptions josUle each other Ii
the scramble for vacant place.
It is Of the extraordinary field the writer
would speal-those holes into which some
individuals slip by accident, and almost I'M
consciously, and which they fit TO a nicely.
Is there not in every family some want which
the conditions Of lie do not exactly fill?
For many Of these wants fashion is respon-
sibe.

diers and Sailors home, and one Of its dreo-

tors.
Mrs. Hayes became familiar with Wash
ington when her husband was congressman.
In 1877 she was called upon to play the part
OF first lady in the land. So far as culture
and refinement were concerned no woman
ever occupied that position who was better
fitted for it. Notwithstanding all the aDtip-
athy excited by her departure from time hon
ored customs In the y bite House, no one even
intimated that Mrs. Hayes was not refined
and superior woman. She was well adapt
ed to entertain, was good mother and wife,
and was universally respected When she
left the White House she left hosts of friends.
Senators and representatives We'd with each
other in compliments upon her grace as a
hostess, and those who had been with her I'M
der the same roof tree felt deep regret at her
departure, from the many kindnesses they
had received at her hands.
Mrs Hayes was a woman of medium
height, with slender figure. Refinement
was marked in form and face. She was what
may be called beautiful woman, though MOI,
in the sense the term is applied to society
belle. Her apparel was always simple, and
the plain manner in which she wore her hair
was in contrast with the fashion of the times.
der expression was SenVae anu winning, yet
full of moral strength; her eyes soft and
dark, her features delicately cut.
Since leaving the White House Mrs Hayes
has been prominent N more limited
rphere. A member of the Women's Relief
corps and President of the Women's Home
Mission society, of the Methodist church,
she found her duties as congenial as enter
tanning the notableS Of Washington. She
was also made an honorary member of the
Society Of the Army of West Virginia. She

THE CAT AND SOME OF HER RELATIVES.

THE CAT AND SOME OF HER RELATIVES
Our domestic cat, of whom almost every
child is fond and few fear, belongs to large
family Of quadrupeds called by biologists
felidae and include such powerful and blood
thirsty animals as the lion, tiger, leopard,
panther, jaguar and lynx. The lion is
credited with being the most majestic mem
Der OF the cat family, although the tiger Is
equally large and by many is considered the
handsomer of the two. Be this as it may, the
lion bas the first place on the list among the
great cats, as is proven by his familiar appel
lation of King of Beasts" The hon is
chiefly an inhabitant of Africa, although it is
found also in some of the wilds of Asia
The tiger has undisputed claim to being the
most bloodthirsty and cruel member of the
family. He is also superior in activity if not
in strength to the hon, and has form more
cat like The tiger is found only in Asia He
abounds in the jungles Of India, where tiger
hunting is a favorite but very dangerous
sport.
The leopard is also a dangerous animal,
being strong, cruel and cunning It has
a slender, graceful form, with very long
tail and spotted fur. 1t is extremely agile
end possesses the power of leaping and climb
ing trees to great perfection. The panther
is of very near kin to tho leopard, differing
only in its larger size and deeper color. Tho
puma and jaguar are other members of the
cat family, which possess savage dispositions.
These last named animals are found in the
United States. The puma is also known by
the names panther and painter. The jaguar
is in appearance more like the leopard.
It is suggested to readers who desire "a
closer acquaintance with these powerful mem
bers of the cat family, to visit at their earli-
est opportunity good geological collection

king lions, royal tigers, spotted leopards, cruel

at is just too lovely"
And 80 it was settled. The visitor had &C
cidentally slipped into the very hole for which
her careful hands fitted her. The news spread
and brought relief to the heart of many a
woman who had trcmbled at intrusting beau
titul lamps of Royal Worcester or Satsuma
wa-e 10 the ruthless hands of a hireling. The
sense of security in the knowledge that the
lamps are properly filed, the wicks evenly
trimmed and the chimneys clear and bright,
is productive of an evenness Of temper not
lessened by the fact that the lighting of
lamps involves no soiing of the hands.
The expense of a lamp carers
But calculate the amount saved in cracked

pensive one, Clipped lamps, the Wholesale
slaughter of chimneys, and last but not least,

TRUE LOVE BETTER THAN GOLD.

We started one morn, my love and I
On a journey Draws and bold;
Twas to find the ED of the rainbow
And the barred beg of gold
But the clouds rolled by from the summers SKY
And the radiant bow drew dim
And we lost the way where the treasure lay,
Near the sunsets golden RIM
The twilight fen Ike curtain
Pinned with the evening star,
And we saw in the shining heavens
The new moons golden car:
And We said, our hands claSped fordly
What though we found no gold.
Our love IS a richer treasure
Than the rainhow's sack can hold
And years. with their joys and scrrows
Have passed since we lost the way
To the beautiful buried treasure
At the end Of the raineow's ray:
But love Eas been true and tender,
And life has been rich and sweet
And We still clasp hands with the o!deu Joy
That made our day complete.
