A Word to the Busy Girl.

I want to speak little speech to
the girl who is very near to my heart
the girl who has to work for her
own living. l had the pleasure of
attending the convention of the
Working Girls societies at Coooer
Union, New York. have never seen
a brighter, braver, more womanly
set of girls in my life, and realized
more than ever the great number of
women who are wage earners, and
felt a great throb of thankfuIness
that they all looked SO clean hearted.
The working girl who does her work
well, who earns her money honestly,
is always willing to pay for what she
gets, but who, because OF the hours
that must be devoted to the daily
toll, very o.ten pays more than she
need because there is SO much she
cannot do herself.
In the evening the eyes that have
been strained all day are too tired
to watch needle as it goes in and
out Il darn, or ireshen and steam the
trimming that is to GO upon a hat!
The consequence is that the mending
.i3 left forever undone end a milliner
is paid Tor ne;w5 hat. Now, in every
city in the United States there arc
women who want to earn money,
who say they do not know how to
do it, and yet who are misstresses of
the art OF sewing and mending. Any
girl would be willing to pay n proper
price to have the gown which it torn,
the stockings that are worn, the
gloves that are ripped, and the hat
that is getting dusty and worn,
made to look as good as new, but
who shall do it?
Unfortunately, no mot. er is at
hand to look after this, and depend
ence must be placed upon a stran-
ger-if the stranger can he found.
Among the numerous women who
want to earn a little money why
doesn't one start Just such a husi-
ness as this? Fresh braid can be put
on skirt, it could be given a cheer
full brushing, the torn pocket mend
ed, and fresh hooks put on a belt,
and, behold, it is the very thing
wanted for wear during business
hours or on rainy days. A suitable
price should he asked for work of
this kind, and | firmly believe that
the mender who started properly
would soon find it necessary to ad-
vert;se for assistants. Let some one
in one of the Working Girls clubs or
in Il group of Kings Daughters find
the worker in this special line, test
her worth and then recommend herto
ali the girls who want to have the
one stitch put in that will save tho
other ninc.-New York Letter.

BURLINGTON, n. j., Special, Oct. 1.-The
Great American Agricultural union, com
posed of farmers has just been organized
here. The objects of the union are shown

ing the bonds OF sectional union North, South,
East and West by our common cause and SYM
pathetic interests, SO adjusted as to leave uC
conflict OF sectional competition and estrange-
mentS.
And, further, be it resolved in this, that our
moral force, by sublime consistency of SYM
metrical integrity in principles, i'll motives and
results, Shall be felt and approved throughout
the whole nation; and. whereas, we till the land,
feed all mankind, and are. i'll, truth, the source
and dependence OF all prosperity, mechanical
and cOmmercal; be it, therefore,
Resolved, That we know henceforth but one
party or purpose, politically, and only vote as
one man for the good of all as agreed by the
union.

RnNal Fish


Harper's Young People: While old and
wise heads of the United States and En-
gland are carrying on a dignitied quarrel
over the the ownership of the seal in Behr-
ing sea, let me tell you something about
royal fish.
You know that kings and queens have
many rights and prerogatives. We'll. one of
these prerOgatives of English rulers in olden
times related to royal fish. Royal fish are
sturgeon ard whale, which are considered
the finest of deep sea fish. For this reason,
ION account OF their superior excellence"
whenever one of these fish was thrown
ashore or caught near the coast OF England
il became the property OF the king. This
seems very unjust to those who might Sc
cure the whale or sturgeon, for they were
compelled to give it up without receiving
any pay. However, the king had some
ground Tor claiming these royal fish as his
property, because it was he who guarded
and protected the seas from pirates and rob-
bers, and in those days there were very
many of them.
The most peculiar feature of the custom
ofr0yal fish was this, that while the whole
of the sturgeon belonged to the king only
half of whale did. For il itwas a peroga-
tive, as it is called, of the queen that the
tail of every whale caught in the way l
haye told you was her property, while the
head only was the kings. The reason for
this division, as given by the old records,
was to furnish the queens wardrobe with
whalebone; and this reason is more anus
ing than the custom is peculiar, tor the
whalebonc lies entirely in the head of the
whale. But there are many more as strange
and amusing customs recorded in Eng
lands early laws. .
This right to royal fish was considered of
greatimportance, and was carefully guarded
ior many generations. 1t was also pre-.
rogative of the kings of Denmark and the
dukes OF Normandy, and from one of these
it was probably derived by the princes OF
England. ~.
