RUNNING A HOTEL.
How Society Woman Was Forced II
a Working Position.

How a Society Woman Was Forced into
Working Position.
There is well-known society woman
in Buffalo-One feels like apologizing
for that term, but what else can one saw
of a woman who really is widely known
as one of the most delightful women
that has ever graced American society?
who has just taken the housekeepers
charge of hotel 1t happened in this
way: One of the best-known hotels in
this city belongs to the family estate,
and, although in the hands of a pro-
prieter, receives the general oversight
of the owners. A few days ago hasty
word was sent up to the home of the
family, early in the morning, that the
proprietor had decamped in the night,
and, worse yet, had carried all the
provender with him. There were two
hundred guests in the house who would
have to be fed, and somebody would
have to take the helm immediately.
Now, this very charming woman had
taken the helm of many enterprises
before, but never one of just this mag
nitude. Down to the hotel she marched,
however, went Into consultation with
the steward, gave him an order On the
grocery stores for the necessary articles
of food, and when the first guest came
down to kis breakfast he never sus-
pected that it had been set before him
through the efficiency of one of the
most prominent women in Buffalo So
ciety. No one else appeared to take up
the household management of the hos
telry. This woman had the leisure of
the unmarried woman, and so she has
gone on with the work. What before
was the duty of the proprietor-the gen.
eral management of affairs-now falls
upon her. While she does not expect
to take up bookkeeping as profession,
she is still at it, and successfully at it,
and the Buffalonians are all focking to
the hotel to eat dainty viands that are
set forth with one of their most de-
lightful women as caterer.-N. Y. Even
lug Sun.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

There are seventy-five American
colleges for women.
-Ninety-four colleges have received
in gifts within year the very respecta
BILE sum of S., 625, ore.
Judas was not the only man who lost
his soul by being too keen-sighted in
business.-Ram's Horn.
God does not measure his pity by
what our sorrows are in themselves,
but what they are to us-Mrs.
Charles.
There are more than fifty Congre-
gational Churches in Southern Califor-
mia. Many of them have over one hun.
dred members.
AS those wines which flow from the
first treading of the grapes are sweeter
and better than those forced out by the
press, which gives them the roughness
of the husk and the stone, so are those
doctrines best and sweetest which flow
from gentle crush of the Scriptures
and are not wrung into controversies
and commonplaces.-
According to the latest statistical
exhibits of the missions in Japan, there
are now 274 churches in the empire, OF
which number 153 are self-supporting.
The total membership is 81 ,4sl, the &C
cessions for the year being 5,542. The
contributions reached $4o,662. The
whole number of missionaries in the
field, including women, is 527.
For the first time for many years
the total attendance at the German uni
versities showed decrease during the
last winter term. 1t was 29,0O7, or 4S4
less than during the summer. In gener-
| al, the increase in the last three years
has been small, and not to be compared
to that from 1879 to 1887, when it ad-
vanced from 19,769 to 2s,763. The sup
ply of technically educated men contin-
ues in excess of the demand.
Your business-you can not neglect
that Call to mind the story of the rich
English merchant to whom Elizabeth
gave some commission of Importance,
and he demurred to undertake it, say
ing: please your majesty, if I obey
your behests, what will become of these
affairs of mine?" And his monarch ans
wered: "Leave those things to me;
when you are employed in my service,
] will take charge of your business"
So will it be with you. Do but surren-
der yourself to Christ and he, of his own
free will, takes in hand all your affairs.
-Spurgeon.
Seth Low, the new president of Co
lumbia College, has no respect for a rule
that does not provide for contingency.
A young man not overburdened with
wealth last fall entered the law school,
paying what was for him quite fee.
After attending two or three lectures
business exigencies forbade his continu-
ance at study. He applied to the treas
urer for rebate on his cash payment
only to meet with delay and hear rule
recited against such demand. Then
he dropped President Low line. With
in four hours the post-office brought a
courteous reply and check.

THE PRAIRIE FARMER.

I'VE lived here now for thirty years, ara,
stranger, I'll be bound
There's not a better farm in all this Western
country round,

the blood,
A restless feeling DER me steals that's hard to
be withstood.
! can not work, l can not rest, but far away
would roam,
For now the orchards are in bloom in my New
England home.
I'VE prospered we'll: these level fields as far as
YOU can see,
They are all bought and paid for, and they all
belong to me.
Inever could have done so well at home, you
may be sure;
often smile to think upon those farms so thin
and poor,
But as l sit behind my team and pillow the deep
black loan,
! see the apple trees in bloom round my New
England home.
Straight east draw my burrows wide to meet
the rising sun,
Then turn and drive straight westward, and so
till day is done;
And then in autumn's glorious time, when DAYS
are calm and bright,
Miles upon miles of ripening grain wave in the
golden light.
But when at night seek my bed, in visions
sweet roam
The hills of old New England around my child
hoods home.
NV boys are grown to stalwart men, my girls
are fair to see,
They're proud of this free western land. and
wonder much at me;
But they have never stood upon the mountains
summit grand,
Nor seen old oceans crested waves break foam
ing on the strand,
Nor ever known the sweet delight in forest
wlds to roam
Nor seen the apple trees in bloom round NV
New England home
The swallow seeks the grove where first it saw
the SUMS bright CLEAN,
The salmon leaps the torrents fall to reach its
native stream,
A thousand leagues the wild goose flies on tire.
less wing o'erhead,
Straight an arrow to the bleak bare north
where it was bredl
So in the spring my faithful heart, holding all
else in scorn,
Turns back to old New England and the home
where was born.
Though here I've cast my lot for life, and here
must remain
Till death shall pillow me under like stubble on
the plain,
Make not my grave in this strange land but
place me if you will
Within my fathers burial lot upon the wind
swept hill,
Where 1 may watch the mountains glow and
ocean break in foam,
And see in spring the orchards bloom round
my New England home.

Let lis Cherish sympathy.

By attention and exercise, it may be
improved in every man. 1t prepares the
mind for receiving the impressions of
virtue; and without it there can be no
true politeness. Nothing is more odious
than that insensibility which wraps a
man up in himself and his own con-
Germs, and prevents his being moved
with either the joys or the sorrows of
another. This inhuman temper, how
ever common, seems not to be natural
to the soul of man, but to derive itself
from the evil habits of levity, selishness
or pride; and will, therefore, be easily
avoided by those who cultivated the
opposite habits of generosity, humanity
and good-nature. OF these amiable af-
fections, the forms of common civility
and the language of polite conversation
are remarkably expressive; proof that
good breeding is founded in virtue and
good sense, and that kind and honest
heart is the first requisite to an engag-
ing deportment.-N. Y. Ledger.

p ABOUT SWEET DOORS.
They Are of Three Kinds, and Have AL.
| ways Been Loved by Man.

ways Been Loved by Man.
From the very earliest ages man has
loved sweet odors. In the Bible we
read of the burning of incense on the
affairs, and the very word perfumery
(under which head we may include all
delicate fumes or smells) comes from
the Latin fumus, smoke or vapor.
The early Egyptians knew the use of
the still, and adopted it to the separa-
ton of the Odorous principle from fra
grant plants, but the most ancient doors
were drawn from natural gums, such as
camphor, myrrh and cinnamon.
Sweet odors are of three kinds-the
floral, the aromal and the balsamic.
The first group includes all those de-
rived from sweet-smelling flowers and
plants; the second, those derived from
musks and resins; the third, those de-
rived from leaves and gums. The otto,
or essential oil of perfumes, is obtained
in three several ways-distilliativn
maceration and enflourage.
In distillation, the odorous principle
is purified and separated from the
grosser parts by evaporation and subse
quent condensation. An essential oil.
or otto, thus procured from orange flow
ers bears in commerce to this day the
name of Neroll, named after and dat
ing from time of the Emperor Nero
In maceration, the primary substance
is softened by pounding, and then dis
solved by sleeping in liquid, usually al
coholic.
In enflourage. the odors are extracted
by immersing the flowers or plants in
grease. The fat absorbs the odors, and
to remove it the fat is placed in alcohol;
the Odor then leaves the fat and enters
into the spirit, which thus becomes
scented.
In the manufacture of perfumes art
has improved on nature, and the per-
fumer must be good chemist. Such
odors as Jockey Club, West End, Mile
fleur and host of others have no
counterpart in garden or grove.
Indian lemon grass likewise gives
extract of verbena." With the rose as
foundation, and a dash of verbena,
the perfume of the delicate and feeting
''sweet-brier' is obtained
Of the animal substances, ambergris,
the secretion of the spermaceta whale,
gives mellowness and permanency to
mixtures. Civet. a secretion of the Afri-
can and Indian cat, has an odor harm
onizing with floral compounds.
Musk is found in the small pocket or
pouch of the musk deer of China, Ton
quin and Thibet. 1t is so powerful,
aromatic and persistent, that one part
of musk will scent more than 5000
parts of inodorous powder.
Of the spice series, caraway and nut
meg are largely used, and cloves enter
into many perfumes with high-sound-
ing names. Cinnamon or cassia is
largely used. Cinnamon or cassia is
the bark of tree. Cassia comes from
China, the true cinnamon from Ceylon,
and the two odorous grasses are natives
of India; one is known as the ''lemon
grass" from which all our extract of
verbena" and 'verbena water" are
made, little addition of lemon essence
making the counterfeit complete

HOW THEY GET BACK.

turn Home.
Every one is aware that there is an
export trade in cattle between this
country and Europe, but very few out
side of those personally interested in
the business have just conception of
its real magnitude. Every week in the
year from three to five cattle steamers,
with from eight hundred head of live
cattle upwards, leave the port of New
York alone.
These vessels carry in addition to
their ordinary crew about fifty odd men
whose sole duty it is to attend to the

of animals, and the other half are men
who for one cause or other are DESTROYS

came from. So anxious are they to get
away that they willingly ship as help

twelve to fourteen days hard work
than their grub and their passage over.
From time to time lads" appear in the
daily papers calling for these men, and
as rule the applicants are away in ex-
cess of the demand.
The offices where they are shipped
are mainly on Greenwich street, near
the Battery. Here the other day a
News reporter had an interesting con-
versation with one of the principal
agents for procuring this inexpensive
kind of help for the cattle bosses.
q "You want to KNOW" he said, what
kind of men want to work their passage
home in cattle ships. Well. almost all
kinds and conditions of men. We have
applications from young English clerks
who have found that they have brought
their goods to an over-stOcked market,
and whose money is all gone; mechan-
les who have been out of work so long
that they are in the same condition, and
youngsters who have run away from re-
spectacle homes in the old country and
are returning, having squandered their
substance in riotous living. to the old
man.
1--WE ship quite lot of laborers, too,
and quite number of these men have
money enough to pay their passage and
ship with us simply to save it. Nearly
all of this class return, as they only go
on the cattle boats that they may have
the more to spend when they visit their
friends on the other side. We like to
get them. too, as they are harder work.

regular actors, but variety actors. About
two months ago 1 shipped party of
four minstrels who had got 4ored of
swinging around the dime museums,
and had made up their minds to try the

life of the ship on the passage over, and
the cattle foreman told me on his re-

workers in his crew."-N. Y. Sunday
