Out again in the night air, re-
Iuctant as she was to go, Bertha
sped away to the railway station,
two miles away. She had unlock

down before she left the house,
and hurried on, only anxious to

bestowed on herself.
There was a train at daybreak,
and the station was warm and

The day dawn wakened Hannah
from heavy sleep, and, conscience

The Husband Should Talk More.

The average woman, says the
Atchison Globe, sees no one from
daylight to dark but her husband
and her children and hired girl.
Her husband never talks State
affairs to her. If he hears down
town that some man has run on
with another mans wife, he tells
her of it, and tr en- complains after

Woman in Male Attire.

There is only one lady in France who
rides her horse like a gentleman. That
is Nine. Dieulafoy, the Persian arcIleolo-
gist, and who has just brought out an
Oriental novel. She dresses in any case
like man, a necessity forced on her
when occupied with her husband in
Eastern excavations. Rosa Bonheur also
wore male attire, but this was to save
her from observation when she attended
for years the horse fairs to take sketches.
George Sand was the only lady who rode
and dressed like man for the sole object
of pose. 1t is remarked that they are the
daughters of military officers in France
who are the best skilled in horsemanship.
However, no French lady is able to follow
the hounds or take fence like "Baby
Blake" of Lever memory.-Cor. Chicago

We saw little Indian girl few weeks

Element there. Her feet and legs were
incased in queer linen bandages that
simulated stockings and shoes, all in one
piece. She wore calico skirt, red
bodice and black shawl that served
both as bonnet and wrap, and on her lit

Josephine.
Mademoiselles, you of the approved
conventional type, do you not envy the
faith and the confidence of your uncivil-
lied sister? She "has no one yet" but
she is braiding her long locks for him
and saving her nickels-there are no pen
MES in her blessed country-to buy a
cooking stove on which she will prepare
his antelope and his beaten corn. Made
moiselles, could you speak your own
thoughts would it be relief? Could you
rid yourselves of the trammels of society
and confess with Josephine that, though
there is no one yet, you know he will
come, and are living in that expectation,
would not life by such acknowledgment
be simplified? Hartford Courant.

A Tree Growing in Mid Air.

There is to he seen few miles from
the outskirts of Richmond, Tex. "A natural
curiosity, the like of which is perhaps to
be found nowhere else in the world. 1t is
an enormous oak tree literally suspend
ed in the air. 1t stands in the midst Of
a dense grove known rs Bentley's wood,
and is made quitea show of. The mys-
terry of its supervision is that numerous
hunting parties having camped beneath
it during a period of many years their
fires have gradually burned the trunk
entirely away for distance of six feet,
but its large and spreading branches are
so closely entwined in those of the trees
growing closely about 1t that it is sup
ported by them.
Just how its huge bulk is nourished is
a mystery, but that it is well nourished
is evident. for it is green and fourishing.

Another very handsome gown for
