AY BELOVED.

In one OF my trips across the Atlantic
Ocean, one of my compGgBi0ns dN voyGge
was highly cultivated lady from Boston
"a spiritualist. One beautiful moon
light night, while our great 1eviathan
was blowing her way through the fathom-
less deep, the lady repeated to me the fol-
lowing Ii tie poem, which she declared
had come into her possession In the fol-
lowing way: She was sleeping in an
upper trent room of her beautiful home
on Beacon Hill, in Boston, the silvery
moon shining brightly on her couch
through nm open window, when in the
early hours of morning she was awakened
by the gentle pressure of hand upon
her own, moving it as if in the attitude
OF writing. Opening her slumber-laden
eyes. she discovered little white dim-
pied hand, unattached to any visible
form, gently pressing her wrist. She had
experienced this phenomenon before. and
WIS, therefore. not alarm a, but knew
that spirit was calling her to write
For years her habit had leen to keep
near her couch q table, with paper and
pencil convenient; 80 she took the pencil
in her hand and closed her eyes, the little
spirit hand guided her own. and she
wrote involuntari1y, and without knowl-
edge Of what she was writing. Soon the
spirit hand disappeared, the lady again
resumed her peaceful slumbers; and the
next morning when she arose she found,
in her own familiar handwriting, the
little poem following. Scientists may
offer satisfactory explanation of the
phenomenon II shall not undertake it,.
1t is hardly necessary for me to say that
totally disavow all belief in the doctrine
of spiritualism. G. +. A.

The Charm 81 : FriyoIous woman

The frivolous woman is much more
necessary to the nation than q Presi-
dent. She is as delightful as fresh
soda and as easily shut off. She is a
rest after the cares of the day, and her
| frivolity becomes charming if she
couples prettiness with it. Frivolous
women seldom do the mischief in this
world. Women who affect friyolity
seldom do. Everybody would lose by
the disappearance of the frivolous
woman. Business would stop, no
lclasses for general culture would be
formed, and women would be as unin-
Il teresting and tiresome as most of the
men. The charm of o frivolous woman
is the same as that of baby, irrespon.
sibility, and yet there have been frivo-
lous women who, when the time came,
could do great things could endure
pain without wincing could smile and
make the best of poverty-or, putting
their dainty shoulders to the wheel.
could help the household cart out of
the deep mire into which it had gotten.
A frivolous woman is like yeast-she
rises equal to the occasion, and that's
all you want her to do. Bring q man
home from dusty day, put him down
to the dinner table and he would much
rather hear the idle chat-chat that is
at once amusing and interesting of
frivolous woman than the weighty ar
gument on political economy that is
always possible to the woman with an
iron frame. Women framed in iron,
mentally and physically, who couldn't
bend to frill or curve to frivol, are
the women who make men think that
women are wiser not to know anything.
Let woman know everything under
the heavens that she wants, but let her
learn when to use this knowledge.
Fired OF tired man, j. is boomerang
that will come back and strike her
dead.
1t was frivolous woman who said,
Il have been going to class in itera-
ture all winter and don't know how
to pronounce Goethe yet. A woman

'Guty' lit rhymes with duty, and says
he really knew the meaning of love. A
young lady who has been culturing
herself ever since she left school, and
who, from great culture, presumably,
is the color of lemon, and would stand
training with sulphur and moIasses,
admirably refers to him as Guilty
(rhyming it with putty, the prince of
Germans. A stately lady whose point
lace is thing of beauty calls him
'Go-eeth, and she's frowned upon by
another woman who addresses him as
if he were present in spirit as 'Geeth.'

Writing for Newspapers.

I am very frequently asked whether
the newspaper is the best starting
point for young authors, and in this
question lies, in nine cases out of ten,
grave misconception, writes Edward
W. Box. in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, Many young writer's believe that
work rejected by the monthly maya
zine will find market with the daily
newspaper. Tt seems to be taken for
granted that the same degree of care
is unnecessary for newspaper work as
for magazine writing. "The news
paper dies with the day, the magazine
lives for month, is the general feel
ing, and hence the impression that
ephemeral work will find ready mar
ket with the newspaper.
1t has been my pleasure to write for
the newspaper press of America for
six or seven years, and give young
writer's leaf from my experience
when I say to them: Do not allow
yourselves to believe that minor work
will find favor with the modern Ameri-
can newspaper. There is just as much
demanded of a writer in the newspaper
editorial Office as in that of the month
ly magazine. A writer commits the
greatest mistake of her life when she
looks upon the newspaper as gradu-
ating school to the magazine. The
same standard of grammar and express
sion set by the magazine holds good
with newspapers.
Where the newspaper offers to the
young writer an advantage over the
magazine is in it's wider field and it's
larger capacity. Publishing thirty
times against the single issue of a
magazine, the newspaper naturally
absorbs more material, and writer's
chances are correspondingly better.
Then, too, subjects which are out of
the range of the magazine fall directly
within the scope of the newspaper.
This is specially true of timely articles.
The magazines of to-day, with their
large calculations, and the necessarily
slower process of printing, are prepared
so far In advance as to make it im-
possible for them to get close
enough to timely happenings to make
their discussion of them fresh and in
teresting. With the newspaper this
is, of course, different, and it is pre-
cisely in it's ability to treat of what is
latest and freshest wherein lies it's
strength, and in these respects the
field is necessarily broadened to the
writer.
But, bear in mind, this advantage is
only one of greater capacity, not of
less requirement.. Disappointment can
be no more certain than when q manu-
script is sent to newspaper editor
with the belief that he is less critical,
or that his constituency is less exacting
than is the case of the monthly maya
zine.

Economic French women.

A multitude of observers have MOTTO
ed vast difference in character be-
tween the Frenchman and the French
woman. So little does this difference
appear to be related to the common
distinctions of sex that it has often
been said that In France the woman is
the man and the man the woman.
Making allowance for absurd exagger-
alton, there is something to support
the paradox. 1t is the disposition of
the average French woman to take life
much more seriously than. the average
Frenchman; to realize and accept its
obligations and duties in q nobler
spirit of self-sacrifice and courageous
endeavor. Women of peryerse nature,
and whom society has spoiled, still
represent but small minority of their
sex in France. The majority, of whom
the world knows very little, because
they belong to the humdrum level of
humanity, are endowed with admirable
qualities for fighting the battle of life.
As married women they fight this bat
tie so well that in numberless instances
their clearsightedness, economy and
energy have saved their families. from
ruin. Their capacity for business and
every kind of industry suited to their
physical strength has without doubt
caused a great deal to be expected of
them which they might have escaped
had they been otherwise constituted.
Thus the wives of small tradesmen
very frequently do all the bookkeeping
in addition to their household duties;
the wives of peasants work in the fields
from sunrise to nightfall, and the wife
of mechanic or town laborer is ex-
pected to bring nearly as much money
as himself to the house by dressmak-
ing, artificial flower making, charing
or some other occupation. But this is
not all. It is upon his wife that the
town workman relies when he is out of
employment. With all women solici-
tude for their children is the great in
centive to exertion. The Partisan
workman often profits by this law of
nature, and he would probably be
worse off if be had no family. Its no
rare thing for French beggar to urge
as reason for helping him that he
has no wife to. rely upon when he is
out Of employment. Leisure Hour.
