Eueenie,s yalor in Cholera r,m..

The cholera scare that has afflicted
Europe to degree has recalled an Incl
dent of the time when Napoleon III was
at the height Of his power. The cholera
prevailed to frightful extent at Amiens,
yet never day passed that the empress
did not visit the hospitals to superintend
so far as she could the noble work of al
laying the sufferings of the stricken.
One morning cure rushed into the
ward where the empress was consoling a
dying man. "Oh, your majesty" cried
the cure, "two hours ago my vicar was
breakfasting with me, and now he is
deadw
Eugenie smiled placidly. "That is
WELL"
'Well?" echoed the cure, in amaze
ment.
"Yes, it is WE'LL" she answered.
"When once cholera becomes as violent
as that it ceases"
The empress was right. From that day
the plague abated. Eugenie's valor did
much to fortify the people against the
epidemic to which very many, am told
fell victims through sheer fright alone.

The Heroine Of Anclomaniacs.

There are people kind hearted enough
to say kind things of Miss Letter, the
heiress, who is now reported engaged to
the son of an English duke, though the
lordling's name is not yet given. The
kindest Of all things said is that she is
the heroine Of the "Anglomaniacs," and
that the reason that, with all her beauty
and fortune, she has gone through sew
eral seasons and is not yet married, is
because her heart is for some "Jencks'
Of the west, while her mamma is deter
mined to make titled match for her.
Those who are ready to declare Ameri-
can girls eager to snap up titles at any
personal cost may be interested in a new
way in the probable fact that this Chi
cago girl has kept dukes son on proba-
tion since last her mother took her to
England, year ago.-New York Tele-

The Beauty Spot vein.

/ The woman who wears the beauty spot
veil is having a hard time Of it these
days. When you meet her on the street
you will observe that she has a worried.
anxious look that you don't understand.
The secret of it is that she is wondering
where on her facial anatomy that blessed
beauty spot has located itself at the pre-
else instant she is trying to look at you
with her most cordial and assured smile.
For it is just as likely to be on the tip OF
her nose as anywhere else, or worse
still, to be planted under the left eye,
giving her the look of an amiable slug
gor who has come off second best in her
last encounter.
But the worst is when the black disc
gets itself located squarely In the center
Of her eye, and lends to that mild beam
ing organ the glare of maniac or Of a
cat looking out Of dark corner. There
arc delightful possibilities in that polka
dot If it it rightly managed, cuddled
closely up to the corner of the red lips,
or slyly accentuating the dimple in the
left cheek. But, like all very good things
well placed. it Is the most unkindly of
instruments when placed awry. And
the safe disposal Of It adds still another
burden to the life Of the woman who is
bent ON achieving more beauty than her
Creator saw fit to endow her with

Healthy Fashions.

There's no doubt about it, the plain
dresses and the simple ones are giving
girls of the young generation chance
to grow up knowing how to walk.
There is virtue in the tennis blouse and
skirt beyond their beauty; they make it
easy for the girl who is used to them to
go gracefully into the grown up gowns
of equal simplicity, which for two years
past have been good style. Never were
the fashions prettier, and certainly never
since their grandmammas were girls
themselves have young maidens had the
chance to dress well, and yet be unham-
pered and at ease, as now. "Betty Lei

AN AUTUMN SONG.

All the summers worn and old;
The sun has ceased a-wooing 1t.
Trees are dropping blood and gold
Blood for murder Of the right,
And gold to hide it out O. sight;
But for all they are SO bold
think they'll fail for doing 1t
TIL the careful sun is cold.
Till the watching stars for dread
Go out, and cease to tighten it,
Cruel earth drinks up the red,
wrung by lust Of greedy gain
From the broken sweaters pain,
From the dying and the dead,
TIL never moon may whiten 1t
With her silver pity shed
Ye who tread a golden way
With hearts of others paving it,
Harki the autumn voices say:
The yellow leaves lie ankle deep,
But through them still the crimson peep
Ruddy drops to stain the day;
No after rain drops, laving 1t,
Wash the purple from the clay"

Mrs. Lixermore,s Endurance.

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, who through
out the period of her labors for the sani-

outwork and outwear most of her fell
lows, finds herself at SO with the energies
of 40. During the two hottest weeks Of
August she travelled $500 miles, and de-
ivered eleven carefully prepared lectures
before Chautauqua ''circles," besides at
tending conferences on temperance, wo-
man suffrage, labor questions and physi-
cal culture, at most of which she made
informal addresses, or served in coun-

Kipdne.s from Co-worker..

In the recorders Office has been an
efficient young lady, dependent entirely
upon her earnings for support. For the
past few months she has grown steadily
weaker with that dread disease con-
sumption, until finally she has given up
her desk. She still draws her salary and
has all of the comforts that from $50 to
$50 week can give. How is it done?
Her associates in the Office, ladies draw
ing less pay than herself and possibly
others drawing more, each spend some
part of the day at her desk and do her
work the same as she would have done
it. And this they will continue to do
until she is beyond the need of the low
ing earthly kindness.-Chicago Herald

It is probable that no American girl

it would make her look beefy and clum-

considered too severe regimen for a

A struggle Of some interest to careful
housewives is now in progress for the
control Of the American market for
prunes. The California growers of this
fruit assert boldly that they will have
the entire control of the market just as
soon as their supply can be made to
equal the demand. As a matter Of fact
the California article has gained so much
favor here that the French packers have
found it to their advantage to pack their
goods in imitation of the California pack

A Serious Question.

It is estimated that there are in Paris

persons-chiefy women-engaged in the

ments which abound in that district.
These people have great grievance just
now with respect to which their "syndi-
cat de la blanchisserie" is preparing a
petition for presentation to the chamber
of deputies as soon as it reassembles.
They complain of the unfair competi-
tion to which they are subjected by
charitable institutions. conducted gen.
orally by the sisters Of some religious
order
These institutions are supported by
benevolent persons, to whom appeals
have been made for charity, and some
times have considerable bequests made
to them. Their inmates receive no pay,
although they are kept washing and
ironing as long as the blanchisseuses in
private establishments. In this way
they are able to do work for customers
much cheaper than other firms, who find
that they must lower their prices to
starvation point or lose their trade.
Their petition says: ''In the name OF
an honest and hard working class of
women we ask you to pass a law put
ting an end to this unfair competition,
which affects their welfare seriously.
In addition to the material interests in

It was expected that the strike
among the street laborers would be
ended in West Superior, Wis, on the
9th by the men accepting the old wages

the men was but the lull before a
storm. About 200 strikers appeared
in the main streets that morning and
proceeded TO Twelfth street where
about forty men were employed. The
strikers rushed upon them and fight
ensued. Contractor Sutton cut one
man on the arm with a shovel. The
strikers chased Sutton to his house,
three blocks away, beating him with
CLUBS. Later in the day mob ar
rived at the American Steel Barge
works, where they were kept at a
distance with revolvers. After dinner
another..attempt was made to force the
works. The contractor shot one man
in the head, the bullet glancing and
hitting "a man named John Frost in the
left arm. The strikers then charged,
but Anderson held the ground with a
drawn revolver. The mob threw bricks
and clubs and anything they could lay
their hands on. When the mayor and
force OF special police arrived on the
grounds the strikers were wild for
Anderson's life. The mayor quoted
the crowd by appointing committee
of strikers and "a squad Of policemen
to take Anderson 10 the city hall. That
night fifty citizens were sworn in as
