An Odd Industry.

Nine. Vanard, poor woman in
Paris, arrived at competency by col
lecting orange peel, and thereby not
only helped herself, but gave occupa-
ton to others. She became a rich per-
son, a great patroness of art, and a
regular habitue of the opera. Her hus-
band was a distiller of spirits, and
when he died she tried for some time
to carry on the distillery alone, but
without success.
Talking over matters one day with a
friend, says Gaigaaani's Messenger, she
was much struck with remark that he
made, to the effect that that there was
fortune to be realized in the orange
and lemon peel which was daily thrown
away by the garcons of the cafes.
The next thing she did was to sell her
stock in trade and become sort of
amateur chiffonniere, with this differ
ence, that the object of her quest was
orange and lemon peel only.
She had a tiresome task at first, but
as soon as she got to be known she
prospered so rapidly that she was ere
long able to. employ other hands to do
the dirty work of collecting the
material from the streets, and also
from the theaters, for the sweeping of
which she contracted.
She presided herself over some thirty
young women in her orange and lemon
peel warehouse, all of whom were
busily occupied in cleaning, pressing,
and packing the peel as it arrived, an
occupation which she christened by the
word ''zester." Vast quantities OF
Zeste were daily sent away to all parts
of France and abroad to form the basis
of Dutch curacao. orfngeade, citron-
ade, and the many Kinds of light
drinks and aperients which are met
with over the continent. She has now
retired from business and enjoys the
fruits of her former hard-earned money

Ventilation.

We have now come to the time of
year when we shall sit with our win
dows closed and our doors also, says
quently feel the loss of that pure air
which we have hitherto admitted
through open doors and windows. Not
only shall we suffer this loss, but we
shall have to endure the untold evils
that accompany the warmth of stoves
and furnaces.
We can do much however, to miti-
gate these evils by judicious ventila-
ton of the houses, but it will require
some management and little study to
accomplish this. The simplest method
of ventilating room is by opening the
windows from the top and putting it
up from the bottom, allowing the foul
warm air to escape, and pure air to en-
ter. At open fireplace helps greatly
to keep the air pure. If the bedroom
windows are guarded by shades and
blinds one at least may remain open
all night, provided it does not subject
the sleeper to draught, and the effect
will be highly beneficial. They should
most certainly be done in any apart
ment heated by a stove or furnace, as
carbonic-oXides escape from either as
ordinarily manufactured.
Air is sure to become unwholesome
whenever it stagnates long, so that the
best thing one can do is to make it cir
culate, or at least to set it in motion
outward from the room. and this can
be done, as we have said, by opening
the windows at the top and bottom. If
windows and doors are opposite each
other, open both, if it is only for sixty
seconds, and let strong rush of cold
air come in; and this will drive the
heated foul air out.
On coming into the room after this
ventilation, no one with any sensibility
can fail to discover the healthful differ
ence between foulness and purity. This
simple act of ventilation should be per-
formed in every sleeping chamber
where lamps have been lighted and
people sitting before retiring. This
thorough air cleansing will be needed
in addition to opening the sashes and
leaving them thus with blinds closed
and shades drawn down.

Easy Sleight of Hand.

Take a pack of cards, having ar
ranged the nine of clubs, the ten dia-
monds, and the ace of hearts in the
middle of the pack; then present the
pack to your audience, inducing or
''forcing.n as it is called one to draw
the nine of clubs, one the ten of dia-
monds, and third the ace of hearts,
which, having inspected, they return to
the pack. which is then shuffied.
An assistant next produces a sword,
the blade of which has been thrust
through three similar cards which are
attached to an elastic cord fastened to
the point of the sword and the cards
are drawn down to the hilt, behind
which they are concealed, while the
tension of the elastic is held taut by be-
ing fastened at the same place. The
operator then throws the pack of cards
into the air and thrusts the sword
through them, at the same instant re-
leasing the elastic cord, with the re-
suit that the three cards are drawn up
to a position near the point of the
blade, thus giving the impression that
they were pierced by passing through
the flying pack.

The Womanly Woman.

When the new American play, s'The
Charity Ball." was produced recently,
a man said: 81 like Georgia Cayvan,
she is such a womanly womanr' Now,
it seems quite time that men should de-
fine what that word means, so, though
unlike Jahpet, l am not in search of a
father, still 1 am on knowledge bent,
and these are the answers | got:
"a womanly woman is one who is
considerate. sympathetic, forgiv1ng
and gentle; who can feel for those who
suffer in mind or body; who knows
how to make such a home that her hus-
band and children are happy in it and
love her as the ruling power
Another was: "A womanly woman
is one who in physique is shaped like
a woman. She is not womanly who is
as flat as shingle. She must be
rounded in body and in mind. There
must be no angles in her temper nor
figure. She must know the power of a
loving word, and of the answer that
turneth away wrath"
From a married man came this:
"She must be woman who doesn't
contradict man."
From a young artist, who has evil
IDENTITY given some study to the madon-
mas and cherubs, was this: ''She is
the one who knows how to hold baby
in the easiest way for herself and the
most comfortable for it.
From cynical old bachelor this:
''She is not masculine. She gives love
and invites it. She knows how to for
give, and doesn't make favor of this
forgiveness. She is fond of clothes, but
doesn't think her salvation or happi-
ness depend on them. She is what
your mother was and what mine was
a gentlewoman." Is she described?
Still on inquiry bent, l asked: .'Who
is womanly woman?" Naturally, of
course, women who are we'll known
have to be selected. Mrs. Kendall led
by large majority; in fact, she was
unanimously elected as the most
womanly. Then came Georgia Cay
van, Mary Moore, of the Wyndham
company; Maude Harrison, Nine.
Modjeska, Lillian Russell, Jane Had
ing and Mary Eastlake. The nays
found on their list Ellen Terry, Ada
Rehan and Sarah Bernhardt. Evidently
the being womanly is a.something that
can only be understood or explained
by man. 1t is the little leaven which
makes the whole lump attractive, and
without which it were better to have
been born boy.-N. Y Sun.

Depew's Story ofGreeIey.

To interrupt Horace Greeley when
he was in the throes of bringing forth
an editorial-an editorial which has
never been equaled in the journalism
of America-an editorial which has a
slogan for his party, thunderbolt for
his foes-was a danger which no friend,
no enemy, none but a fool, dared to
encounter. l was once in his editorial
sanctum when the fool was there. To
relieve your apprehensions, l was not
the fool. But he was one of these it.
inerant and persistent gentlemen
with a subscription book He kept
presenting it while old Horace was
writing-as most of you remember,
with his pen away up to his chin, like
this Gllustrating), and Horace had a
habit, when any one would interfere,
of kicking, and so he kicked at the sub
scription tiend. Finally, when he saw
he could not get rid of the intruder by
this means, he stopped in the middle
of sentence, turned round, and said
raspingly in that shrill voice of his:
What do you want? State it quick,
and state it in the fewest possible
words"

THE LUSCIOUS PERsIMMoNs.
A Rich Autumn Fruit Now to Be Seen In
the Markets.

Persimmons are now at their height,
says the Philadelphia Times, and may
be seen in the streets for sale, particu-
larly by the enterprising colored wo-
men from New Jersey. The persim-
mon, when fully ripe and touched by
early frosts, is a delicious fruit, with a
green, or even half-ripe, there is moth
ing in the world worse for puckering
up the mouth, sometimes to an extent
positively painful. The persimmon is
at its best when it ''squashes' up into
jelly in handling or eating. The per-
simmon is about the size of an apricot
or plum, generally globe-shaped, al
though sometimes elongated like a
plum. When ripe the fruit has a
transparent, purplish bloom on the out
side, while within it is of a rich flame
color, deeper than orange. 1t grows
on a large, handsome tree, scientifi-
cally known as the diospyros Virgin
lana. There is only one species known
in this country, and stands as the sole
representative here of the ebony fam
lily. Like the ebony. it has hard, black
wood.
As is so often the case with single
species in the United States, its near
est relative is found in Japan. The
japanese persimmon is smaller tree,
with larger fruit than the American.
A specimen of the japanese may be
seen in Horticulture hall, in the west
park.
The name diospyros literally means
pear of the gods" A tree of the
order of persimmon was known to the
ancients. 1t is believed that the lotus
eaters fed upon the fruit of such a
tree, differing, however, from the COM
mon persimmons in having narcotic
properties. The lotus, however, was
something quite distinct. 1t was, in
fact, the nymphalia, allied to the we'll
known water lily.
The name, persimmon, is probably
of Indian origin. In some sections of
the country the fruit is known as the
-plum-in fact it does taste lit
tie like dates. If ever the persimmon
was largely used in domestic economy
the fact is scarcely known to-day The
tree is hardly common enough to be
depended upon for any abundant sup
plies. According to the old nursery
rhyme, however, it might seem that
persimmons had place in the festivi-
ties of the winter season. The rhyme
is as follows:
"Punkin pie, 'simmon beer,
Christmas comes but once year..
