Advertising For a Wife.

Advertising for a wife is, perhaps, not so new
fashion as many persons imagine. About the year
1875 the following graceful advertisement was
published in the Philadelphia Minerva, which,
Judging from the fair promises and golden offer
ings of the young bachelor, must surely have
brought favorable response:
WANTED-a wife
To sweeten life
By bachelor wealthy and young;
She must be fair,
In prudence rare,
And one who can bride her tongue
If she has pelf
She Is like myself
NO difference then will arise;
If not, still
Endeavor will
Two jewels to find in her eyes
There's nothing more
On any score
That I've to offer at present;
SO let what Miss

THE working-girls clubs of New York City have
held their fifth annual meeting in the Cooper In
stitute, with an audience of 5000 women. There
are now eleven clubs, having for their object the
Improvement and recreation of their members.
Teachers are employed, and they have millinery,
dressmakng and cooking classes, and also discuss
under the head of "Practical Talks" "Books,"
"Home Life, Z" "Men Friends" and "Womanhood
PURITY These, with many other like themes
which they discuss, are calculated to instruct and
refine as well as interest and encourage the work
ing-girls in their monotonous life of sef-support.
AN English paper tells pathetic little story of
one Ellen Shoals, poor, miserable old woman of
seventy years of age, who was brought before
police magistrate to answer charge of having OBJ

months; afterwards it was found that she had

cred sewed in her dress. She claimed to be the
widow of an old soldier, and SAID that she was
keeping the money for her funeral, so that she
should not be buried as pauper. There still re-
NAMED in the wretched woman's breast the spark
of pride, which caused her to desire Christian

THE Woman's Standard says: "Women are
likely to come into the Union in the new State of
South Dakota with partial suffrage. The new con-
stituton gives to them school suffrage, and this is
the very first stone in the fundamental law of any
State for political justice to women"

In speech before the Primrose League of Great
Britain, Lord Salisbury rcallirmed his belief in
woman suffrage, and said:
"Whatever may be thought upon other con-
troverted questions, to which will not now advert,
no one who has watched the workings of politics
in these latter days, or has watched the action of
the league, will doubt that it is one of the hap
piest innovations Of the latter quarter of the nine
teenth century that women take so large part in
the conduct and canvassng of political affairs"

We are glad to learn that the Woman's Penny
Paper of England is prospecting so that instead of

glorious future.

PLAYED 'PossUM.

Another Illustration Of the Credullty Of
Young Married Women.
A young married man was invited
out one evening lately to restaurant
supper where the presiding dish was
baked 'possum. He ate heartily in
compliment to the friends who invited
him, and moistened the 'possum with
30 many and frequent libations that he
reached home in state of somnolence.
When he awakened the next day it was
noon, and his anxious young wife sat
beside him in an indescribable state OF
mind. She expected penitence and
tears, and was prepared to be very
firm with her erring lord. But what
was her establishment when he greeted
her with peal Of laughter.

Singing among the glimmering caves
The low, sweet songs Of fairyland.

For him who fashions dreams to deeds.

And tread the hard and dusty way,

ANTIQUITY OF SUGAR.

The Process OF Milking the Sweet Sub
stance of Chinese Origin.
The Chinese, who invented almost
every thing before any body else heard
OF it, claim to be the original discover
ers OF the process of sugar-making, and
it is said that sugar was used in China
as long ago as three thousand years.
This is misty, but the fact is well estab-
lished that it was manufactured in
China under the Tsin dynasty two hum
dred years at least before the Christian
era began. India has put forward q
claim for priority Of invention, but the
probability is that the Hindoos learned
the art Of sugar-malking from the Chi
nese and that through them the knowl-
edge finally spread to the Western ma
tions. Nearchus, when sent by Alex
ander on an exploring voyage on the
Indus, brought back reports Of "honey"
which was made by the Asiatics from
cane without the help Of bees. At this
time neither the Greeks nor the Jews
nor the Babylonians had any knowl-
edge Of sugar, but later the art of max
ing the artificial money became
known and practiced. though its prog
ress and development was exceedingly
slow. It was prescribed as medicine
by Galen in A. D. $50, and up to the
seventeenth century 1t had become
nothing more than costly luxury, to
be used only on special occasions.
Even as late as the beginning of the
eighteenth century the annual con-
sumption OF sugar in Great Britain had
reached only 20. 000, 900 pounds, where
a. It IL now more than 1900, 900 900
pounds. Refined sugar was not made
in England till 1859. The art Of refin-
ing was learned by Venetian mer-
chant from the Saracens, who sold the
secret to him for 100000 crowns--.
