A New Check Upon Checks.

There. I've got it down fine at last,
and no mistake" and IN OF Philadel-
phia's best-known business men laid his
pen down with a sigh Of relief and
hastily blotted his name on n check with
q blotter.
.'Got what DOWN." asked a visitor,
"A new wrinkle adopted by mer-
chants and others to prevent their
m from being forged to checks.
It's this way. and after signing my
name I turn the pen up aud draw a
long line through 1t from right to left,
and it looks as II the name had been
cancelled. The peculiar little twirl at
the end where the long line of the pen
commences Is where the forger Of a
mans name gets left. He doesn't tum-
BILE to it. SO to speak. but the cashiers
of the banks where l do business do.
and they know instantly whether the
signature Is genuine or not. You see.
also, this line drawn through the name
makes the check look as If it was no
good in case it is lost. aud the finder
will not present IL for collection. It's
q great idea and Is being adopted by
many business men OF the city. OF
course we have to explain Il to the
bank people. who. ono they know It.
have no fnrther trouble with us over il.
But the dell OF Ii the practising to get
1t down fine. aud 1t takes some little
work to do So" and he gazed proudly
at the unsightly line drawn through
his name at the bottom Of u check for

Lillian RusseII's Photographs.

BY the bye, the photographers all
agree that the most satisfactory woman
TO take is beautiful Lillian Russell,

her eyes that bewitchipg look that has
brought all New York and the rest Of
the United States at the feet of the
grand duchess. don't think there is
anything in the heaven above like o
photograph Of Lillian Russell, so that
there will be no harm whatever in the
average woman falling down and
worshiping it. She Is one Of the
women, ~curiously enough, whose beauty
has always been acknowledged by other
women, and after looking at her q
great deal the reason seems TO be that
there is a sweet leaven Of femininity
about her that would make her, quite
outside of being q beauty, q popular
woman among women, This doesn't BY
any means always attach itself to beau.

THE BEAUTY or TIE MATRoN.
Al II Age Does woman Reach Her
Full Spiendor.

The notion still held by certain
shallow women that maturity is ugli-
ness is one of the most incomprehensi-
bic pieces of nonsense of the time.
Here is a fair muddler In one of our
contemporaries complimeuting Nine.
Albani on having overcome c rmatron-
illness and on the renewed glrlishness
of her appearance. From ta!s l should
Judge that women who live on public
exhibition fear nothing so much as de-
vclopment. II they can only stay all
their lives in a lisping and %glutinous
sweetness and not grow, they are salts
fed. To get on in appearance, or in
character, or Ia strength is a calamity.
In this extraordinary view of things a
green coddling is better than a ripe
pippin. Women who exhibit them
selves have only one standard of merit
and that is youth, Poor creatures,
they do not know that the pretty girl
ought to become the handsome woman.
and never reaches her full plendor
Until she is a matron. They cannot
comprehend the fact that a fixed beauty
has no existence except in death, and
even then only when the embalmer has
put in his work. The law of beauty in
life is the law of development and at.
tainment, and the beauty Of a matron
and the beauty of q miss differ from
each other rs one star differs from an-
other in glory-and, curiously enough,
the older the star the more beautiful it
becomes.
Women who think Of nothing but
how they shall stay young, are women
Of characterless minds. All things con-
sidered. the greatest woman is she who
can grow old g%loriously, and defy time
with something better than enamel.
But your woman who is professionally
on exhibition has got to bring to the
market what the public most desires.
And 1t is a patent fact that the
mob would rather look at the pastry
ness of youth than at the perfection Of
personality. 1t is this popular instinct
that makes exhibiting women starve
themselves, enamel themselves. prison
themselves, restrict their functions,
suppress their minds, and cruelty their
bodies.-N. Y. Truth.

WOMAN AND HOME
Gossip That viii Be Of Interest
TO Both Sexes.
The Languid and shiftless Cuban
Senorita-Beautifui Women
OF Ecuador.

Correspondence OF the Louisville
Courier-Journal: The Cuban woman
goes through the world in an
easy, shiftiess sort of q way,
lounges only too gracefully in q ham
mock or Tolls in her rocking chair. her
mind intent On only one idea--how TO
keep cool. The grace Of the woman is
set of by the marvellous way with which
she uses her fan. Not for a moment IL
Ii at rest; IL futters, waves idly, Is
opened and shut in the space Of a sec
ond; falls TO her side and again rises TO
take q part In the conversation. The
type of the face which beams above
every fan in Cuban high life is difficult
10 describe. The complexion varies
from olive to white; deep black hair is
the prevalent hue, but the eyes!
Luminous, dreamy, 80 large, dark and
vivid. La Senorita, with her certain
chiidlike f~rankness, but with a provok-
ing richness and fire of nature in her
features, many a heart as she
sits at Der open window twirling her
fan and watching the curling smoke
from her cigarette, and while she is
kept under the strictest surveillance,
she is a woman, and romantic and many
are the proofs that ''stone walls do not
a prison make"

LADY LAWYERS.

Two Have Recently Been Admitted to
Practice in the United States Supreme
Court.
Two women have been admitted to
practice before the United States su-
preme court lately. One OF them was
Miss Kate Kane, who was admitted on
motion Of Robert G. Ingersoll. She is
a stout OF apparently 80 odd
years, and she is decidedly masculine
in appearance. Her hair is thick and
curly and she wore il brushed straight
back, unbound by any nets or ribbons,
nor was it's luxuriant freedom h%ampered
by a hair pin az she stood up to take
the oath. 1t was loose and flowing like
the locks OF Samson in the picture. She
Is said TO be possessed OF q large legal
knowledge and to be o m Of AZ
fairs. An interesting fact in con-
nection with her admission to the SUI
preme bar of the United States was
that ex-senator Joe Mcdonald, of In
diana, was present to witness the cere-
mony and that 1t was the first time he
had ever seen the actual carrying out
of the law which admits women TO prac-
tice in that court. The ex-senator is
responsible to q large extent that the
law is in existence. He made the
minority report in favor of the bill in
1878, and against an nd yers majority
report succeeded in passing It
just before the ceremony the ex-sena-
tor and Colonel Ingersoll were chatting
in the Office Of the clerk Of the court.
Colonel Ingersoll remarked that he had
been asked TO make the motion to ad-
init a oma to practice, I'm afraid |
might get embarrassed, he said, won't
you make the motion and let me Off"
mo, l won't" replied ex-senator Nc
Donald, because haven't been asked
by the lady herself. Ii any lady is
qualified and asks me TO make the mo
tion I'll be glad TO do it. / would never
go back on o law l worked as hard for
as ] did for that. I'm going to wait and
see you make the motion"
The two vent to the court room and
sat for two hours while opinions were
being rendered, and then Colonel lnger-
soil made the formal motion, while the
ex-senator looked and listened with APP
parent deep interest.

I will tell the Home Circle" folks
something about what we have to eat
away of here in eastern Turkey, and
they will zee that there 10 enough IN
sur markets from which to make up a
good meal. We have potatoes, cabbage,
turnips, onions, beans, gumbo, carrots,
etc. In fact, they seem to have the reg
THAR round of vegetables in their season.
They do not have strawberries. Black
berries grow where they have an oppor-
tunity, but are considered holy, the bush
being supposed TO be the burning
BUSH which Moses saw, and so the fruit
Is not used. though ! imagine il would
not hurt the people to ada q little holt
ness TO their being, even IL IL was by
way Of their stomachs.
Lemons, oranges, ounces, apples.
pears, grapes, etc, are in the market
in season. Apples sold FOR ten piasters
per busheI Ia plaster being a little o
than 4 ~cents). have just SEN to the
market for some ounces to make dol
mar OF. Pare and core them and fill
them with rice aud raisins and boil un-
til soft, having seasoned them while
cooking, with sugar and a little salt.
They cook apples and other things this
way. | would suppose that for tart APP
pies the rice and raisins would need to
be cooked first.
Rice here Is as common as potatoes at
home and is cooked in various ways,
mostly as a vegetable. 1t is nicer than
the rice that can be got at home.
The grapes are the finest have ever
seen, both as to size and quality. They
are OF both black and white varieties,
but have not learned their names.
| miss beef about as much as any
thing. We can occasionally get it, but
1t Is so tough that one does not want to
try 1t often. We have good mutton and
fowls though.
From the variety you will see we are
sot in danger OF starving out here.
Some time ! will attempt 10 give di-
tections for cooking a number OF the
native dishes, which are as strange to
as as, ! have no doubt, our messes APP

bouse OF the Russian consul. 1t vas an
elaborate affair, but have not room in

Mrs. CIayeland,s Mnrninx Mail.


Mrs. Cleveland's mail has not suffered
any ~diminution since she left the white
house. How dear she is to the women
and the school girls OF America is best
expressed in the notes and cards that
continue 10 come from the north, south
and west filed with sorrow that she
could not have remained" and ''hopes,
prayers and good wishes for her return
the next time" The sincerity and
genuineness OF these expressions Of ad-
miration are found in the addresses and
full names of the fair writer's. The beg
ging letters are simply countless, and the
audacity of the scriblers incredible.
Her interest is invited to unpaid policies,
expiring leases, foreclosed mortgages
and overdue rent, to sick children, unem-
ployed men and women, ambitious and
impoverished students, artists and spe-
cialists, and asylums, homes, churches,
schools and societies OF every creed,
character and need. Autographs, jewels,
personal property, books, Americana,
plate, china, wearing apparel, decora-
tive art works are offered for purchase
or disposal, and inventors and design
ers Of every imaginable article OF toilet,
household and mechanical use appeal to
her for influence or financial assistance.
The autograph hunters are legion,
and then there are those contemplate
busy ladies who hunt up disagreeable
paragraphs and send them to her
pasted on the back Of postal cards.
Mrs. Cleveland Is too sensible to
ALLOW these intrusive letters TO annoy
her and too wise to pay any attention to
the frivolous ones. 1t is, however,
worthy Of note that reduced to N
rency the postage Of these aimless let
tiers would amply pay for the lady's
gloves, shoes and slippers.

Beautiful Ecuador Women.

Washington Star Ecuador Letter: The
females OF Ecuador are proverbial for
beauty, those among the ~aristocracy
being said TO have the fairest complex
ions in South America, while all pos
sess large, soft and expressive dark
eyes,, the blacklist and most abundant
hair, the whitest teeth, we'll rounded
figures and small hands and feet. Like
all women in the tropics they mature
early and fade quickly, but perhaps
their average span of forty years in
cludes more heart happiness than comes
to women Of colder chimes in three
score years and ten, for these are
harassed by no ''carking cares" or high
ambitions. Incidence, religious super
stition and f~aithfulness unto death
are their most prominent characterize
les: their passionate natures are COM
pletely satisfied in the love of home,
husband and children, ard for them the
whole universe lies within the limits Of
vision. What higher praise could be
bestowed upon the women Of any couE-
try? To be sure, they are VIGOROUSLY
untidy in dress and habits, but the
manta or paneulon, like the mantle Of
charity, covers a multitude Of sins. As
the poncho, for men, is the universal
and most useful garment for the middle
and lower classes, answering for a coat
by day, a coverlid by night, an umbrella
when 1T rains and a basket when there
Is anything to carry, the female manta
is worn by all classes and is equally in
dispensable, since 1t hides unkempt hair
and all defects of toilet.
