An IngeniousThief.

A gentleman dressed in a loose coat
entered ladies outfitting establish
ment in Paris, at a time when the
proprietor was alone in the shop.
The gentleman asked to be shown
some ready made ladies' cloaks, as
he wished to give his wife little sur
prise. After q careful inspection he
fixed upon one, and the salesman:
"Have you not young lady at
hand to put on the cloak to see how
it looks?" The proprietor regretted
that none of the ladies of the estab-
lishment were in at that moment.
swell, perhaps you wouldn't object
to putting it on YOURSELF" The I'M
suspecting shopkeeper slipped on the
cloak. buttoned it, and turned round
in all directions. Magnificent ex-
claimed the purchaser with seeming
ecstasy, but at the same moment
he made a grab at the till, which
he thrust under his coat, and bolted
out of the shop. The Mortified pro-
prietor rushed after him into the
street, where, however, he was seized
by the passers-by. who dragged him
back to the shop in the superstition
that thepoor fellow had gone mad and
before he could explain matters the
rogue had disappeared.

Dreams and Condolences.

While staying in your good city
| read in the Globe-Democrat an ac
count Of curious condolences con-
nected with dreams. Strangely
enough a night or two afterwards,
as was coming east on a sleeping
car, dreamt of meeting a friend, a
lady, whom I had not seen for sew
enteen years, and in the morning |
sat directly opposite this very lady
in the dining car. ] adnot thought
of her, but who will say that her
presence in the next car did not have
some subtle influence over my dream
the night before?
Speaking of dreams, | will tell you
of another one, of a ludicrous nature
not many weeks ago. dreamt that
/ was a boy again, and was engaged
in the rather common juvenile diver
sion in the country of robbing q
farmers watermelon patch. Justas
| was in the act of making off with
one of the finest melons in the patch
l saw the farmer approaching, with
dog and gun. In vain did tug at
the melon, hoping to get over the
fence ahead of the advancing dog.
The barking of the brute awoke me,
and / found myself pulling with all
the energy at my command at the
headofmy 15-months- old baby, which
| had mistaken for watermelon,
and whose cry had filled my dull ears
with sounds like the barking ola dog.
The poor child had been dreadfully
abused, and | resolved never again
to sleep in bed with a baby.-A. M.
Heston in st. Louis Globe-Demo-

The Ideal Woman Of the Future.

The ideal woman of the future"
says an eminent physician, "must
be woman of grand and strong
physique. Bulwer says: THE match
for beauty is a man. not a money
chest Equally true is it that the
match for the ideal man, the coming
twentieth century man, is a woman,
not bundle of aches and pains.
And woman will not have gone farm
her search for health before she
will have discovered that her
dress is fetter self-imposed
which she herself must summon
strength to break. She must cast
off her slavery to the
fashion-plate and go back to the
freedom and grace of the old Greek
ideals, and find in the deep bosomed
Junos and the stately, well poised
Venuses OF antiquity with their loose
girdles and flowing lines of drapery,
her models in dress. She must he
strong and many-sided mentally. Ali
art, all culture, all those mighty
principles of psychical law-of which
an ancient Greek has said that the
divinity is mighty within them and
growth not old'-must minister to
her intellectualwants for how shall she
give life who knows not the principles
of life. Last and best of all, she
must be grand in that freedom and
purity of soul which shall make her
iovea royal boon, guerdon worthy
of all knightly and chivalrous HON.
age to the man who shall call her
wife. "-Philadelhia Press.

The Fretful Ones,

The sons will 60 forth among men,
and In the hard school of
LIES battle hai their business toned
down. even CELEBRATED. But the
daughters will fuss and fidget for life
and grow worse in these every year.
They will worry over their studies,
fret through girlhood's years, and
bring to their own homes the perfect
ed fretfulness of lifetime.
Their lovers are prone to mistake
this natural trait of the American
girl for vivacity and piquancy and
mental sparkle. Men in lovewill not
know the difference between the gar
ish radiance that flashes from light
house and the steady luster that lies
in the heart of a pearl. So they wed
the brilliant, changeable damsel, and
ignore her placid, contented sister.
Mental restiesness in q woman can
find outlet only in the worriment of
herself and those of her household.
In man, this trait has safety
valve in business pursuits. But lard
ly one woman in thousand of the
fussy kind can find man SO consti-
tuted that his repose of character is
an offset to her business. The nine
hundred and ninety-nine are united
for life to those fussy men almost as
iussy as themselves, and SO the sum
of human unrest and mental Wear
and tear is increased. Life's reyerses
disappointments, thwarted ambi
tions, come with treble force
to the fretful ones, and the
evening of their days are full G:
bitterness that serener mortals know
nothing of. Placidity and the phil
osophy that prompts its possessor to
take things as they come, to cross nc
bridge before it is reached, are things
that American women should prize
so highly as to bend every faculty
toward their securing.-Pittsbure
R.lIentin.

Disordered Hearing.

The senses, in their normal action,
never deceive; but they are all liable
to disturbing influences of various
kinds, which cause them to act alb
normally. They may be painfully
exalted in sensibility. or the organs
OF sense may be so blunted as to be-
come partly or wholly incapable OF
informing their usual functions.
They may even give rise to sensa-
tions that are absolutely false. The
eye may '.see" bright lights, beauti-
full scenes, forms OF familiar friends,
or monsters of hideous shape see
them as clearly as we see anything,
and yet the apparent objects bewhoi-
ly unreal.
Disorders of hearing ale the most
common of all. Ringing, or tinkling,
rumbling, roaring of beating, as of
an audible pulse. are heard in various
disturbed states of the system. This
is q frequent result or the misuse or
overuse of drugs, as by the large
dose of quinine taken in malaria.
False voices may be heard, SO dis
tinct that the person does not once
suspect their objective unrealty.
These halluciations ofsight and hear
ing combined. He says:
"Iwas broad awake; my eyes were
closed, and yet saw with perfect
distinctness thewhole scene going on
in the theatre Ducrow, performing
his wonders of horsemanship, and
the assembled multitude, among
whom recognized several intimate
friends. When opened my eyes the
whole scene vanished; when closed
them, it instantly returned.
"But, though Icould thus dissipate
the spectacle, I found it impossible to
get rid of the accompanying music.
This was the grand march in the
opera of Aladdin" which was per-
formed by the orchestra with more
superb and imposing effect, and with
greater loudness, than ! had ever
heard it before.
The Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal lately described q case due
simply to marked constipation Of
long standing. At first the voices
were heard at night. They seemed
to be the voices of three persons, who
persisted in tormenting the patient
with offensive talk.
At length they annoyed her by day

That Fool Husband Of Mine.

As a general rule it will be found
that the majority of the officeseekers
are men who have been failures in
everything else they have under
taken, and therefore take it for
granted that the country owes them
q living. Probably the most of
them absolutely believe that because
they have been failures in the ordin-
airy occupations of life they have
thereby proved their ability to fill
any office which will enable them to
handle money from the public treas
ury. They are ready to take any
thing. With equal confidence they
will accept consulships, Indian agen-
cics, collectorships, postoffices, sur
veyorships, land Offices, receiver
ships, appraiserships, Offices in the
treasury or any other department.
If they can't have one they express
their willingness to take another.
The constituent of the Iowa con-
gresham who called upon him the
other day in search of "the govern
ment Job of minister to Japan, the
duties of which he did not know
though he was sure "the job" would
suit him, does not present an exag-
gerated case. Unfortunately there
is no restraint that can be placed up
on them, though now and then a
case occurs like that in the. expert
ence of Ben Butterworth, who re-
ceived letter from an otficeseeker's
wife in Cincinnati beginning: Send
that fool husband of mine home.
We have no coal to burn and next to
nothing to eat"

A Queer Family.
From the Var Vert sews.

From the Van Vert @ews.
There is no more peculiar family
t.aaan the eileen, two sisters and a
brother, who live in U:bana
Ohio. All are unmarried, and John,
the brother is study. There were
once three boys. The father were
odd. He would never 60 in debt.
Once he went tc buy the boys a coat
each, but his money gave out and he
only got two. He told John the cir
cumstances and said lie would get
him one next time. John got mad,
said he need never buy him one, and
that he would never wear one as long
as bis father lived. Going to his
room, John remained fourteen years
without coat, and no one ever saw
him out of that room. His meals
were sent to him and he sat there
and read and thought.
When the father died John came
out, put on coat and went to the
funeral. The Glenns are Scotch Irish.
The coat-of-arms ornaments the sill
yer, china and front door. The old
man had money and bought largely
of land, and the estate is one of the
most valuable in Campaign County.
After the father died, the children,
none of whom ever married, although
all had been carefully educated, de-
cided to have the house frescoed.
For ten months an artist worked at
the house, and the walls and ceilings
are covered with grotesque figures,
serpents and animals.
The large sitting room represents
uforest, and about the walls climb
vines. From holes in the tree tops
peep owls and squirrels, and birds are
hid in the branches. Dogs owned by
prominent citizens are trescoed about
| the house. At the head of the broad
stairway is a life-sized mastiff owned
by the family. Besides these queer
paintings there are panels inla.d
with expensive woods, and altogeth-
| err as elaborate as possible.
John got mad once about these
| decorations and shut himself in his
room for four years, coming out to
| attend the funeral of the brother who
had provoked him. Mary, the
youngest sister, has charge of the
finances now. John is So years old,
and bleached white by confinement.

Won ems Work and Paw:

1t is not true, says tho Dry Goods
Chronicle, that steam power applied
to sewing machines lessons the labor
of the operatives. 1t merely increases
production. When foot power was
used the operator could rest, IN a
measure. by working at q slower
pace. With steam power no such
latitudeis possible. 1t is continual
drive to keep mp. A halfhour is al
lowed for lunch. Occasionally three
or four minutes are allowed absence
by permission, from the room, but q
minute over this time brings it's fine.
The contractors for cheap work
give out the finishing of coats by the
dozen for four cents each. The fin
ishing of q coat is understood to
mean everything but the machine
work. A mother and daughter, coat
fipishers, by working fourteen hours
day, were able to finish dozen
each. That is to say, twenty-eight
hours labor earned ninety-six cents.
This is u good record for such work.
Coat finishers, for such goods as
are sold by the larger Broadway
houses, receive eighteen to thirty
five cents. How neatly and carefully
such work is done the weavers OF
these coats know. Itwould be a very
expert worker that could finish more
than two of these coats in an ordi-
nary days labor.
Coat finishing is done under con-
tract. tits, perhaps, fair to the we'll
esta blished houses to believe that
they do not know the conditions un-
der which it is done nor the prices
paid. The contractor is indeed en-
ployed to spare them thought and
annoyance in the matter. Here is a
specimen case-seventeen men and
women are huddled in a small room.
There is a roaring fire for the irons.
The room rocks with heat and the
stcaming odors from the workers.
These, on account OF the heat, are
scarcely decently clad. The oppor-
tunities for breeding diseases and in
iecting the garments are limitless. 1t
is not only the cheap shops which en-
danger the public health.
A woman, for making pair OF
cheap trousers, receives nine cents
apiece. the usual price. BY working
all day and into the night she can
make two pairs. On.the eighteen cents
q day she earns she supports herself
and four little children, for she is o
widow.
Fully one-third of the working
women of this city are out ofemploy-
ment. From day to day they watch
and follow the weary trail of the adj
vertisements in the newspapers. Such
IRE the changing conditions OF labor
that women who used to earn from
| $15 to SIS week as feather curriers'
can now make but from SO to $12
week. The same rate of decrease is
seen in other trades.
