WOMEN AS SAVERS.
Y0une LAdiss Who Do Not Spend All the
 Money They Receive.

YOune LAdiss Who Do Not Spend An the
 Money They Receive.
 It Is . mistake to suppose that ali women spend all the money they make, says tho Pittsburgh Commercial Ga- Eette.
 Go to the savings banks in the city, and you will find that there are hun dreds and possibly thousands of women who are depositors, the amounts running from few dollars to several thousand. Among thcse arc working girls, widows and tho daughters of industrious work ingmcn.
 Thero are not few young ladies who tako tho place of a hired servant at home, and arc given the money that would be paid to Q servant. These arc none the worse for earning few dollars . week, besides the training will be worth many times the amount of money received for 1t. Parents arc wise to encourage their daughters in this course, because the successful woman of tho future will have to be ns proficient in her calling as tho man she marries is in his profession.
 "I give each of my three daughters ten dollars week apiece," said pros- porous business man, (which is theirs to do as they please with. One of them opened an account with bank of deposit, and pays her bills by checks. Another puts hers in savings bank, and already has quite respectable account. She spends very littlo for extra dress, be- cause her older sister keeps up with the fads, and as soon as the style changes a little she throws them aside. Her sis ter, who is handy with the scissors and needle, takes up the discarded garments and decorations, and fixes them to suit her taste. You wouldn't know but they are new. This enables her to save her pocket money.
 ''The youngest one must take after her father. She belongs to two build ing and loan associations, and already owns a house and lot, and has her eye on another. She makes nearly all of her own clothes, refits old ones, and spends very little money foolishly. She dresses we'll, and I believe enjoys life more than either of the others.
 "This leads mo to tho conclusion that women have capacity for business If their minds arc set in that direction. know very bright young lady who holds the position of stenographer and typewriter in her fathers office, fol which she gets fifteen dollars week Her brother Is in the same office at the same salary. don't see but it is as proper for her to be there as 1t is fol her brother"

JULIUS STRATAGEM.
How He Disposed of n Preacher and HiA
 Divided Congregation.


 "I tell yo', dar's heap O difference in ohil'en," said tho old man, as he TO- moved his catskin cap to rub his bald head. 'Dar's my two boys, fir instance. Dat Abraham ar' full grown, an yit he neber dun dothin' fur nobody. Jist sots around an gifts fat on hisself, an If ho marks down a hog or lifts chicken hos jist dat stupid dat he leabs tracks an is toted of to- jail. He's nebber gwine to be shucks, nebber."
 Of came the cap for another rub of the plum-colored pate, says the Now York Sun, and then he continued:
 "But dar's Julius-you kin bank on him ebery day de var frcw. If dat boy slips outer do cabin of Q night doan' hev to ax no queshuns as to whar he's gwine, an doan' hev to suggest dat he'd better put on my butes so he can't be identified by dc tracks. I jist go right to bed knowin' dat he'll dun do de right thing, an dat we'll hev rooster fried In 'possum fat fur breakfast. Did I eber dun tell yo what Julius dun fur his old fadderp"
 "No."
 "An' he wasn't but leben y'ars old, either. A preacher ho dun cum down yere rom NaShv1lle an put on airs an' sailed around an got our church so up sot dat dey voted do ole preacher out an put do new ono in. I was one of de elders, an' dun fought as hard as could, but 1t was no use. was talkin' 1t ober wid dc ole woman, an Julius he listened to ebery word. Next day he slid of to de woods an got polecat an flung it into de meetin' house an den he frew brtckbats at it, an what dye spose was dc result?"
 ''No meeting the next Sunday"
 ''Not fur dozen Sundays, sah, an' although dat was two var ago, dat odor. iferous percolashun hasn't premeditated out of dat meetin' house yit. We hey to eat unions an burn ole hoss blanket to keep dc efiluvium on de back seats Dat upsot de new preacher, brought ds crazy people to deir senses, an we hain' had no fall from grace sinoe."

KILLED HER CHILD.
4 Flcndish French Mother Who Stran,
 Glod Her Only Child.

Elcd Her Only Child.
 Really charming, says the London Standard, are the ways of some mothers toward their offspring. If we take, for instance, the conduct of a young French boy of five, one is driven to ask what could the jury of Chartres find in it to warrant indulgence, and why extenuat- ing circumstances were accorded this most unnatural parent? The young widow, whose trial for murder has just been concluded, and on whom 0 sen- tence of hard labor for life was passed, wished, 1t would appear, to get rid of her little boy. To accomplish her pur- pose she tried three several times to kill him. Tho first time she tempted the boy on thin ice by throwing an ap- pie upon It. The little fellow wont after the apple, the ice gave way, and he would have been drowned had it not been for tho opportune arrival of his grandmother. Some days later his afieo- tionate mamma threw him into a we'll and left him to his fate, but his screams were heard, and 0 second time he was rescued and restored to his mother, who pretended to be quite overcome with grief at the accident. On the morrow, however, she determined to succeed in her cruel purpose, and with her own hands sho strangled the poor boy. As most people arc aware, French juries have . peculiar faculty for discovering extenuating circumstances; but really, in the case of this most cruel and pre- meditated murder of helpless child, this too frequent rider to verdicts of guilty ought to have boon omitted.
