Lazy Man Stenographe,.

have heard men talk of women's
running business by undertaking to do
a mans work for smaller pay than a
man would accept, but l think women
have as good cause for complaint, says
d female stenographer. Take, for in
stance, stenographers. Good female
stenographers usually get good salaries,
but now the schools of stenography ore
turning out a lot of lazy young men,
who chip in and work for starvation
wages that even m would despise.
They are reducing salaries, as man
business NE would rather have a SWIVEL
ing young man to swear at when any
thing goes wrong than to pay a larger
salary to a competent young woman.
whom they would have to treat with re-
spect. I think that men are encroach-
ing upon women's work and running q
branch of female industry.

He was a brave officer during the war.

Colonel Rusk saluted the General. the

Il thank you," said Colonel Rusk,

You don't. Well, I should like to
know how a man can ride so far into

talking about O. third person,

began talking about O. third person,
who was evidently rather obnoxious to
them both. The conversation, which
was conducted in tones loud enough to
be heard some distance away, discov-
cred some species of revenge that no
one but a woman would think of, much
less put into practice.
She's u hateful thing" quoth she
of the shiny black hat.
Very" assented the one in the new
spring bonnet. Il eve could see how
YOU ever asked her to your house."
Il had IN object in doing so, you may
be sure. You remember those lovely
portieres my uncle brought from Per
STA? Well, she fell dead in love with
them at first sight. l knew she would.
because, of course, she never owned
any thing half so nice. I knew then
that my moment Of revenge was at
hand. [ pretended that / didn't care
very much about the portieres, except
because they were presents, and 1 asked
her If she would take care of them until
/ needed them, which I probably never
should. At first she wouldn't listen to
such a proposition, although I saw she
was just tickled to death with the idea,
but when I convinced her that she
would be doing me the greatest favor
in the world she consented.
They were hung in the drawing
room, and we're as pretty a pair as the
city could boast. All her friends from
far and lear were invited to see them,
and evnrvboHv wont into ~rontureS over
them. l saw my plans We're working
famously, but 1 waited and bided my
time, knowing we'll that I should be
fully repaid for my patience. After
awhile, from hearing the portieres
praised by every tongue. she began
fairly to idolize them. Even her love
for her children began to wane, and
she would sit for hours in mute admira-
ton of the swaying folds. My time for
action had come. 1t was awfully cruel,
I know, but had intended to do it all
so my conscience didn't trouble
me very much at the critical moment.
Il sent my servants to take the por-
there's away from her. She never said a
word to me when we met. but 1 shall
never forget the look Of reproach in
her eyes until my dying day. That's a
month ago, and She has been fretting
SO over her loss that she has become a
perfect fright. 1 am rather sorry I
wait until after Easter, because
when any of her friends ask her what's
tie matter she says she has been very
strict with herself this Lent. "-Nem

A jewelers. Superstition.

Nearly every jeweler lays down a
rule never to credit ANYBODY for a clock
or watch or anything that keeps time.
l don't know why this is and never
heard any good reason assigned for it,
but nevertheless it is a fact. And,
moreover. we firmly believe that a
watch or a clock that is brought to US
for repairs or regulating will never
keep good time if the owner does not
pay cash for the Job. You know we do a
big credit business. I suppose jewellers
do a larger credit business than any
other class of merchants, and it nc
doubt seems surprising that we have a
class of trade that is barred from the
credit list on account of a superstition.

Sewing Machine improvements.

The sewing machine was invented by
2 man, but there are machines patented
by women, and there are TWENTY-FIVE
Improvements on the sewing machine
made by women. These improvements
cover every part OF the machine and
some OF them are valuable. The best
hat-lrons in use to-day are made by wo-
men, and among the machines patented
by them [ note that Miranda Fort, of
Georgia, has an improvement in plows.
Jane u. Gilman, of Connecticut, has a
combination bureau and bath-tub.
Augusta NJ. Rodgers, of New York, has
a patent stove for railroad cars, and
Mary A. Holland, of New Jersey, has
invented a burglar alarm. The ice
cream freezer now in use was invented
by a Washington woman, and before
she got out her patent every family
stirred Its cream with a spoon instead
OF using the crank attachment while it
was freezing. The inventor of this is
Mrs. johnson, who tooks out her patent
for 1t i'll lS43 and who has made consid-
cradle money.
There is a warship here patented b.,
SNaieiy, anu q WOulal II
Iowa has made an improvement on the
machinery for cigars. Blanche Willis
Howard has a patent bath shoe and a
music rack, and Doctor Mary Walker is
turning the Patent Office upside down
III getting out a new invention of teach
ing spelling. Mary's patent looks like
a Chinese puzzle and it is more curious
than practical. Among other patents
which L remember are jar-lifters, bag
holders, tish-boners, raisin-seeders and
a thousand and one curious appliances
Tor household matters.
The washing-machines Of the Patent
Office take up a number of cases and
the table utensils are numerous. One
woman has invented a muxtache spoon.
Her names is Ellen A. Mitchison and
her husband evidently had a mustache
as big as that Of Jones' He Pays the
Freight" The spoon has a shield over
the top and Ellen says that with this
spoon soup can be conveyed to the
mouth without danger of soiling or dis
figuring the mustache. 1t may be that
Ellen's husband had a dyed mustache
and that Ellen's favorite soup changed
the color. Atany rate she patented the
spoon and her papers We're given her in
1873.

THE SPIRIT
BY FRANCIS S. SMITH.

Baby is ~dend-speak low, step light;
How tranquil is her rest!
Her tiny hands were placed last night
Upon her waXen breast.
And when the morn broke calm and bright,
And deep was our despair,
We gazed upon her face SO white,
And saw Il sweet smile There.
The mourning mother sobbed aloud
AS she her darling scanned;
AId while each head III sorrow bowed,
She fixed within it's hand
A tiny rosebud. fresh and sweet
Which round it's perfume shed.
"This, this, she moaned. lis emblem moot
For my dear, llecious deadl"
Next day, while sorrowing neighbors stood
Holding sweet flowers of spring,
The tiny rosebud, rcd as blood,
Showed signs of opening,
And ere the funeral rites were through,
Each mourner in the room
Thrilled with astonishment to view
The bud burst in full bloom.
Tho clergyman, with trembling voice
And deep emotion, said:
"RcJoice, my Borrowing friends, reJolcd
The babe is not dead!
God, i'll His loving tcndernoss,
This token sweet has given.
That she who budded i'll distress
Is blooming now in Heuvenl'
