Nctc Field for Uo,,.cs.

Having some business to transact
with widow I made an early call upon
her Arriving I found herself and two
day lighters in walking costume. AL
though greatly marvelling, as discreet
gentleman I showed it not. AS my
ertand progressed noticed ill-concealed
impotence for my going. At length
my hostess said: "You don't know the
cause of my wishing to hurry-I'll let
you into the secret. My income is not
sufficiently large to keep up our usual
mode oflifc, so myself and my daughters
ore professionally engaged as busters of
bric-a-brac." She noted my absence OF
understanding and politely explained.
Articles of virtu are becoming more and
more popular with the ton of the city.
The ordinary help is Understanding

ware and choice piece of Dresden.
Here is where intelligence and care
come into play and cause an opening

A few years ago a strange mistake
was made in New York society. Two
ladies of the same name gave an enter
tainment within a few doors of each
others houses. Many persons got into
the wrong house. The hostess who
gained that day the edmiring comments
of all New York, was the one who re-
ceived perfect strangers as if they were
her best friends, aid made them her
friends by that gracious reception. She
knew how awkwardly they would feel
when they found out their mistake; she
did oil she could to revent.their feeling
swkwardly while with her.
The other lady, less well-bred, said
., person who had come into her
house, under mistake, Il think you
have got into the wrong house"
"Yes, madam, I have" said he. II
thought before I entered it, that this
was q lady's house."
Tt was terrible revenge, but, under
the circumstances, an entirely justifi-
able one. Mrs. John Sherwood, IN
LADIES' Home Journal.

THE GRIT OF THE TURTLE,

A farmer, while COW hunting near
Sampson Lake, saw big flock of buzz
yards, among which, judging from the
birds strange behavior, something of in
terest must be goingon. The buzzards
were gathered around q large dead ALI
gator, and one of them got his foot fast
ened in the carcass in some way and
was unable to free himself. Finally his
comrades bit the captive's foot off,
which caused its owner to scream pit
eously, but released him. Upon exam
ination the farmer found that the
stomach Of the carcass contained a huge
turtle, which had been swallowed while
lhe saurian was alive. A hole Just big
enough for the turtles head had been
made in the gators hide by the birds,
by which the turtle had been able to
capture its unsuspecting victim. AL
though crushed out of all shape by the
gators teeth, the turtle had lost moth
ing Of the pugnacity peculiar to its
kind.-Stark (Fla.) Telegraph.

II Lifetime Givcn to H1crcy.

There is matter for thrilling story,
which Lever would have delighted to
write, in the career of Sister Maria
Theresa, Superior of the Sisters OF
Mercy in Tong-king, who has just re-
ceived the Gross of the Legion sof
Honor. For over thirty-one years she
has ministered to the wounded of the
French army, and has herself been
wounded on three occasions-at Bala-
clava, Magenta and Worth. During
the war with Germany she once
courageously seized smoking shell
which had fallen in the midst of the
field hospital and run with it into the
adjoining meadow, where she was Sc
verely injured by its explosion. In
Syria, China, Mexico, and now in Tong
king, Sister Theresa has followed the
French armies with the most extraordi-
nary intrepidity and devotion. Where
ever the enemy's fire was hottest there
might Sister Theresa be seen, binding
up wounds or soothing last moments.
It is not surprising to learn that she
was received with immense enthusiasm
when the Cross was presented to her
the other day by the French Governor
of Tong-king in the presence of all the
troops of the garrison.

THE oBEDIENT ELEPHANT.

In some countries in Asia an elephant
is made to carry the flag in battles,
writes Jennie S. Judson in Or Little
Ones. This is because the elephant is
so tall, and the soldiers can easily see
the flag flying from his back.
One Of these elephants, which be-
longed to the Poona host, was very brave
and very kind, but he would obey the
order Of no one except his mahout, or
driver.
One time, while very fierce fight
was raging, the driver called out to
him: Stand, my brave beast. stand!"
A moment later the mahout received O
fatal wound and fell to the ground,
where he lay beneath a pile of wounded
and slain.
The obedient animal would not move.
though the battle ragged fiercely around
him. The Poona soldiers, who feared
they were being overcome, were cheered
OH by the sight of the flag still floating
from his back.
He never stirred foot, and all
through the hot fight, the noise, the
smoke, the confusion, listened patiently
for the voice of his master.
Sharp spears were hurled at him. a
score of jayelins pierced his sides, his
long ears dripping with blood, but he
stood like rock.
"Come forward, my men!" cried the
Poona Captain; "our flag still floats and
the battle will yet be ours.
His men, discouraged and ready to
fly, rallied at this command, and with a
cheer for the flag pressed forward.
In short time they had won the vic
tory and put the enemy to flight.
And then they gathered around the
brave elephant, offering to lead him
where he could be fed and cared for.
But, though wounded and worn, the
obedient creature would not move until
he heard his masters voice. That mas
ter could never speak again.
A rider was sent in great haste to o
place fifty miles away, where lived the
drivers little son whom the elephant
knew and loved.
When the little boy was BROUGHT to
the battle ground the elephant showed
very plainly that he was glad to see
him and permitted the child to lead him
away.

won.am's Gcm,,cness of Touch.

A good matron, still adept in witch
cry, said to me: Next in charm to
that excellent thing in woman, low
voice, comes gentle touch. A way OF
laying hand in soft, firm, womanly
way, 1.-THE freedom of fingers, firm
softness of palm makes a charm that
may belong to an ugly hand"
Remember that, girls
Don't shake a person to awaken
him." the matron continued. Lay
your hand softly over his closed eyes.
Let each finger-tip be firm and sensi-
tive. Don't shake hands as if your
hand was foot. Let the fingers do
their part. Don't take hold and let 60
all at once. Don't-Oh, there are
such lot of don'ts! Let your hands
be sensitive. As much can be con-
veyed by soft, firm palm and elastic
fingers as by the meditation Of o sweet
voice or the droop Of eye-lids.
by the way, the expressions of the
eye is dependent upon the lines, formed
about the eye-ball by the lids. 1t is
the dropping of the upper lid that soft
ems the eyes and the lifting of the lower
lid that makes it cruel and suspicious.
That's just suggestion. OF course,
it's an advantage to have big eyes, but
sensitive lids are more important to Sc
cure the only real beauty of the eyes
expressiveness. Another thing: 1t is
not so much the actual size of the eye
as it is the clearness, which makes it q
conspicuous feature. Another case Of
buth-tub, girls Cleanliness, absolute
and always. is good inducement for
bright eyes, or in other words, eyes
whose white is clear Be good and you
will be happy. BE clean and you will
be beautiful. If you are beautiful you
will be more or less happy-which con-
meets beauty and morality, bath-tub
and happiness, in really lovely way,
doesn't it,"

HER PRE1IY TEETH.

In Vine street cable car, the other
day, says the Cincinnati Times Star,
were On old man with an ear-trumpet
and a very pretty young woman, &C.
companied by little boy. She smiled
ut intervals on the boy, and showed her
pretty teeth in a bewitching way. All
at once the old man, in the way Pc
culiar to so many deaf people who do
not know how to modulate their voices,
said, in tones so loud as to be audible
all over the car II only paid S. for my
upper teeth. What did yours cost ?"
To say that the pretty woman was mad
is putting it mildly. She hounced
around with flush Of anger blazing in
her cheeks, and signaled the conductor
to let her out at the next crossing.

Bo,,nets a Mean Of Grace.

A good-loohing bonnet, like hand
some rose or the strain of church
organ. may be means of grace, says
the Lewiston Journal. Where is the
consistency that adorns the pulpit with
flowers and festoons the organ-loft with
evergreen branches and yet frowns on
the pretty bonnet in the front pew?
It is charged that some folks go to
church to see the fashion. Do not the
the fashions call them in? And what
more does the church bell do? Iflook-
ing on beautiful objects puts the mind
in calm and receptive frame of mind
why is not the handsome bonnet an aid
to devotion, not only to the wearer, but
to those who sit behind her? It is not
the woman who is satisfied that she
looks just right who thinks of her
clothes instead of the sermon. 1t is she
who is wondering whether that pin be-
comes unfastened or that flower bent
out of shape. And how much more
pleasure it is to let ones eyes rest on
an artistic combination of lace and
feathers than on the same materials put
on all awry, or even on the bald and
sleepy head of the good old church
piilar" in the front pew.
1t may often be unjust to take the
outside of the head as an indication-a
sort Of blossomlng out-of what is in
side; but people have always so judged
and probably always will. Even very
