A Home Society for Girls.

At last New York is to have home
q free, respectable American home
where young women out of employment
can find shelter, sympathy and substan-
tial aid. The institution is to be the
same sort of a place as public school,
with no more charity, religion, politics
or restriction, and will be supported and
maintained by the French Evangelical
church of the city of New York. The
certificate of incorporation has been filed
in the county clerks Office and the work
Of establishment will begin at once, the
board Of managers including Mrs. Lena
Roberts, Mrs. Caroline Lecoultre, Mrs.
Marie Grosjeans, Mrs. Emile Swyeffort,
the Rev. FL. L. Grandlienard and Mr.. j.
E. Roberts.
The Young Women's Home society
win provide unemployed young women
whose occupation is that of a teacher,
maid or domestic with pleasant home
and good board. Medical attendance
will be furnished the sick, decent and
comfortable clothing provided for the
needy, together with financial aid, good
counsel and friendly support and encour-
agement. The needs of the girl will be
sufficient plea for admission, and, as in
the regulation Of public hotel, good
conduct will serve as a guarantee of
good character. The catechising to which
the applicant will be subjected is in
tended for industrial use only, in order
to acquaint the examiner with her ability.
Suitable and profitable employment
win be found for her without any charges
or fees whatever.
Intended to benefit the French girl
directly, it is not decisive whether other
naticnaities will be debarred from the
privileges of the home. There is some
need in New York city for dozen just
such organizations as the Home society
promises to be.-New York World.

A Yankee Girls Device.

An amusing instance of woman's curl
osity has come to our ears in connection
with the visit Of the Clevelands to Sand
wich. A young lady who is ordinarily
modest and ladylike school teacher
became possessed of burning desire to
meet and converse with these distin-
guished visitors, and this is the unique
way in which she brought about the
meeting. AS the party were being
driven to Mashpee they saw approach
ing on foot a dowdily dressed colored
girl, who stopped the team and inquired
the time of day, the most direct road to
Sandwich village, the distance, and
finally asked the ex-president in her
most fetching, manner for ten cent
piece for her bangle, and during the
whole time feasted her eyes ON greatness
and beauty. Having satisfied her curl
osity in this direction our schoolmarm
made her best bow to the party and
passed on, rejoicing at the success Of
her scheme, and in the possession of a
ten cent piece for her bangle.-Cor. Bos-

Women in Hotels.

"The most desperate creature on
earth," said the clerk of well known
uptown hotel, sis a woman from out
of town in a hotel bedroom on a wet
Sunday. There is absolutely nothing to
do, the confinement is almost intolera-
BILE, and the isolation of her lot is made
unusually painful by the fact that so
much is going on all around her from
which she is debarred. Men come to
town with their wives or daughters,
leave them at in the morning, and go
off to attend to business. The ramifca-
tions and extraordinary character of the
business undertaken by rural visitors
is one of those things which no man can
accurately gauge. 1t is certain, howev-
er, that the western merchants are out
of the hotel pretty much all the time
from in the morning till - at night.
Sometimes they come in to take their
Meals with the women of their party,
but not infrequently they leave them
entirely to their own resources. New

A Pen Picture of a Well Known Woman.
One day last week customer in one
of the large Brooklyn dry goods stores
stood waiting for her turn to be served
and idly watching the woman who was
claiming the attention of the clerk at the
moment. There was nothing about her
to attract a second glance. She looked
to be close upon go years of age, her hair
was very gray, though not white, and
pair of large, rather dark eyes looked
out from colorless, unimpressive face
In figure she was short and small, and
the black costume she wore was simple
to plainness. Yet when she gave her
name and address for a parcel to be sent
it was realized that this little woman of
insignificant appearance was one whose
name eighteen years ago was in every
body's mouth from one end of the coun-
try to the other, and whose personality
at that time was almost as well known
as her name. She was Mrs. Theodore
Tilton.-New York Times.

A Novelty in Handkerchief Designs.

The various ideas of crests, mono
grams, initials and other devices in
embroidery engrafted upon handker-
chiefs for the aggrandizement or identi-
fcation of the owner have been worked
to death. There is novelty, however,
in handkerchief decorations that has
reached noticeable degree of popularity
in a very short time. 1t is the plan of
having the photograph of wife, children

processes have been perfected so that the
likeness will neither wash out of nor

Four years ago Miss Lena Woodard,
living ON Thorn creek, Wash, sowed the
seed from one head of barley. She har-
vested the crop with pair of shears,
and sowed the amout received the next
year, again harvesting it with her shears.
The third crop her father cut with a

this crop to SOW forty acres last spring,
which averaged forty bushels to the acre
when thrashed, making a total yield of
1000 bushels from one head of barley in

elected president, which he has ever
since remained. The corporation when
he entered it's service was but second
rate at the best Under his administra-
ton it has become one of the greatest
business concerns in the world During
this period it has absorbed rival compa-
MES such as the Delaware, Lackawanna,
and Western Express Company; opened
new trunk lines which cross the CONT
nent. and extended it's connections to
nearly every point in the West and
Southwest, and upon the Pacific coast.
1t has also established European de-
partment, a private money-order system,
and a system for transmitting money by
telegraph similar to that employed by
the Western Union. It's latest venture
of public interest was effected on April
21st last year, when it secured the con
tract from the national government for
the carriage and delivery of all govern
mental moneys and securities. Through
these various movements it now covers
nearly every point of prominence in the

The latest recognition of Mr.. Platt's
ability us the manager of a great ex-
press company occurred last month,
when lie was appointed to represent En-
press and Transportation interests on
the Worlds Fair Committee by Mayor
Hugh j. Grant The implied compli-
ment was increased by the fact that he
was recommended for the Office by the
leading members of that great business.
Mr.. Platt is over medium height, and of
slender but muscular build His face is
sallow and scanned with the burrows
which are popularity called the lines of
thought. Gray eyes, regular features,
thin brown hair and beard, sparsely
strewn with white, pleasant but some
what reserved expression about the
lower part of the face, and measured
and a carefully worded style of speaking
give the impression of a man whose chief
characteristics are application, energy,
and an intensely active interest. He has
pleasant address, attractive manners,
and both socially and politically enjoys
considerable popularity.
Mr.. Platt is married and has three sons,
all of whom have grown up, and already
begin to display the law of heredity. De-
spite his business and political pursuits,
he may be almost classed in the ranks of
domestic men," spending at home
whatever time is not consumed in these
two fields, and seldom appearing in what
is known as general society.
