Hurrxing to Her Grave.

The question is often asked, why
Is it that SO many plain ome marry
we'll while pretty girls either do not
marry at all or make matches that are
failures from q mental, social and
~pecuniary standpoint"
The fact is, that woman's idea of @
man is of a creature differing but lit
tie from the domestic quadrupeds
with which she surrounds herself in
the home circle.
A pretty girl in early youth is sur
rounded by a set OF yapid boys.
Naturally she forms her Judgment of
men from them. Therefore her idea
of mankind is not an exalted one.
She finds that to look pretty and to
dress tastefully, to dance and chat
upon the most frivolous subjects is all
that IS required in order TO be a sue
cess.
Pretty women, as a rule, do not give
as much thought to the cultivation of
their intellect as they would devote to
the manufacture OF q new bonnet.
For a brief space, while youth lasts,
her wares apparently find satisfactory
returns. Men praise her pretty face;
they seem to enjoy her society; she is,
therefore, satisfied. But after youth
has fled, carrying with it her bright
eyes,, her rosy cheeks and roguish dim
pies, when mind and not matter is to
be weighed in the balance, how griev-
ously is she then found wantings

The Boston Women.

1t would be interesting to know
just where the Boston woman draws
the line between amusement and Gull
tivation, if, indeed, she draws it any
where. She mixes lectures and recep-
tions, study classes and luncheon
parties SO thoroughly and with such
an air of looking at them from the
same point of view that one cannot
tell whether it is that she takes every
thing so seriously, or looks upon all so
frivolously. The impression which
the locker on inevitably gets is that
whatever her attitude toward one is
her attitude toward all; but masculine
pe%rspicacity is seldom able to discover
just what this is.-Chicago tribune.

Ancient Egyptian Stockings.


These curious stocking are knitted
in a very clever and the
material, fine wool Of sheep, that
might once have been white, is now
brown with age. The needles with
which the work was done must have
been a little thicker than we should
choose for the same purpose, and the
knitting is loose and elastic. The
stocking is begun just as we make the
design, only in the simplest manner,
with single thread, but in the contin-
uation OF the work it is not simply
plain, but fanciful. The usual border
of the stocking, which prevents the
rolling up of the work, is narrow.
consisting of a row Of turned up
loops, and the circle, the nicely
shaped heel, which is a little different
from our method, show a very skillful
hand.
But in the point Of the stocking
there is a characteristic difference be-
tween the Egyptian stockings and
modern socks. While ours end in a
rounded point, the Egyptian stock
ings run out in two large tubes of
equal width, like the fingers of a
glove. This strange shape is made to
suit the sandals, which are furnished
with a strap fastened about the mid
die of the sandal, and as the strap had
to be laid over the stocking the
division is needed YORK. Ledger.

The April Magazine of american His
tory is notable for the timeliness of its
topics and the clever style in which they
are treated. The opening paper by the
editor conducts the reader into a fresh
and untrodded field, and no one who
chances over the first page will be in
clined to lay the periodical aside without
making the complete tour of South
America. IL is rarely that so much In
formation mi suggestion is condensed
within 81 brief q space. Our South
American Neighbors" has for its text
the bright new book OF travels of Frank
Vincent, but the article is in no sense
confined to the modern outlook; the
picturesque past is brought into view
with descriptions and illustrations, and
glimpSes are given of the ancient
Peruvians and other early people-with
also a passing view of the latest enter
prise of Harvard College in photograph
ing the southern heavens, which has been
made possible by Mrs. Henry Draper, OF
New YORK. The second article of the

Rhetoric from the French.
1t is said that a literary form almost
wholly new to English literature will be
introduced in a volume which Messrs.
Harper & Brothers have in press for early
publication. The book is q collection of
examples Of a striking species of com-
position, carefully selected and translated
from the French. This literary form has
of late years been carried to a high de-
gree of development in France, but it has
not as yet been naturalized in other coun-
tries, except to a certain extent in Russia.
The volume will be illustrated from one
hundred and fifty drawings, by H. w.
McVickar, after the French manuer-or
rather, after his W inimitable manner.

How to Remake a Bodice.

When a bodice is worn out around
the arm scies or darts it can be fresh
ened with a contrasting fabric like
velvet, surah or figured wooden, APP
piled as full fronts, sewing them in
the under-arm seam and gathering the
material in the arm scie nearly to the
top of the shoulder; then draw all the
fuIlness in easy folds to the short
point, and fasten there under a long,
slender buckle, which is sewed to one
side of the folds and hooked over to
the other when on. IL a round waist
is preferred in front, cut off the point,
lap the loose fronts and use a wide
belt from the side seams and buckle,
or a loosely folded empire belt, shaped
to a rounding point below the waist
line by drawing the upper folds
tighter than the under ones. For a
hollow chested person cover the upper
part of a basque with a drapery ewn
in the right shoulder seam in graceful
fullness, rounded over the bust,
shaped to fit in soft drapery around
the collar, and hooked up on the left
shoulder seam, with a trimming on
the bottom, of silk drops, or fringe.
If Of contrasting goods, a girdle from
the side seams, shaped to the edge of
the basque front and cuffs of the am
transform an otherwise shabby
bodice. -Lddaes' Home Journal.

MAYOR CLEVELAND is to speak to-
morrow at a labor meeting in Pater-
son. where the eight-hour movement
is to be the subject of especial discus
sion. Just at present anything Mr..
Cleveland may have to say on any
question affecting labor is of the high
est interest, and his utterances will be
watched with critical attention by
thousands of working men who are
voters in this city, and who think that
the Mayor of this city should make
the interests of the largest section of
the community his principal concern.
In order that the Mayor
may have the benefit of
a full publication of his views, and
that the voters may have an oppor-
tunity to read and digest his remarks
The JERSEY CITY NEWS of Wednes-
day will have a verbatim report Of his
speech, which, at least, is sure to be
an interesting and forcible effort.
In the eight-hour movement, the
Mayor will have a fertile theme. The
topic is n of the most interesting
which has ever been brought UP as a
live question Of practical civilization.
There are two phases of it which call
for consideration.
First comes the question whether
production will be reduced by the
curtailing of the hours of labor?
Second whether sufficient advan-
tages will not be gained even to Justify
q reduced rate of production.
We think that on @ general average
thers will be no reduction in the
country's production Of labor pro-
ducts. In or two special trades,
the results per man may be reduced,
but in others, actually more work will
be done in the shorter time. The ex-
pertinent has been tried more than
once, and it has been demonstrated
that men and women working only
eight hours a day brought such fresh
ness, vigor and courage to their tasks
that they actually accomplished as
much as other jaded workers did in ten
hours. Besides, the product in the case
, OF the short hour workers was always
OF a higher grade than that of the
long hour people.
But even if less work were to be got
out of men, 1t is worth considering
whether Nineteenth Century benevo-
lence does not make a reduction of
the hours of labor imperative. There
are things more worth living for than
the production or the accumulation
Of wealth, and the special glory
of this era is that this great
principle has been extended to
the toiling classes. The right of
the man, who works with his hands
for his living, to cultivate his mind
for his advancement, to refresh mind
and body with rest and recreation
this Is the right which it has remained
for modern times to establish, and this
is the right which is asserted in the
eight hour movement.
The eight-hour movement is the
legitimate development of the princi-
pie which builds free libraries. main
tains art and science schools, and lays
out public parks. Surely if the work
ing people have a right to means Of
entertainment, they have a right to
the leisure in which to enjoy them.

PLAIN WOMEN.
The Just Arrangements Of Provi-
dence Which Give Them
Husbands.

An old, dilapidated prairie schooner
or campers wagon came creaking
through the December wind, bound
westward. AS it came nearer in its
slow course across the plain | saw
that the horses were thin and spirit
less, and the driver, who sat on a
rough board seat beneath the faded
and torn canva corner, was as woe
begone as they.
He had once been a good looking
man, but his sad face and unkempt
clothing told too well the story of
sorrow or disappointment.
How far is it to the next town. he
asked as he came opposite TO me.
about five miles,
How is the road? Can / get there
before night?n
II am afraid not, without hurry
ing.n
The clouds were skimmering across
the sky and a storm seemed riding on
the back of the north wind that blew
fiercely over the prairie.
Guess I'll go on, though. he ejacu-
lated, after having considered a mo-
ment. Then he alighted from the
wagon and commenced fixing a broken
strap of harness with some cord he
drew from the wagon box.
Whats your hurry? Where are
you bound for?" were my queries.

him to remain for the night. He must

him he was urging the tired horse
toward the angry sunset sky, eager to

well. Humble in station though he
was, crude though his surroundings.

prairies, with the wide-spreading sea
of grass around and only the tiny
mound of earth to attract his lonely
heart, has often seemed a picture
