A Delightful Surprise.

A surprise which was prepared by the
emperor and empress for the Archduchess
Valerie on the eve of her wedding is now
being talked Of in Vienna Our CORE
spondent there tells us that Baron Be-
zecny, the director Of the Court theatre,
was asked to invite a famous Vienna
quartet to come to Ischi on July 30, and
to tell no one Of their coming. From the
station they were taken to the house Of
the master Of ceremonies, put into a
room by themselves and given four copies
of love song and accompaniment.
This song, which bore neither the
name Of the poet nor the composer, they
were asked to study. An ample repast
was sent them. and they were directed to
remain there until they were sent for.
At night, when the fires on the mount
aims wore out and the moon shone bright
over woods and hills, they were led to
the imperial villa and placed under
group Of trees opposite the front terrace.
At signal agreed upon they were to
begin their song. They heard talking in
the apartment which opens out upon the
balcony.
Presently tho empress appeared with
her arm around her daughter. Close be-
hind, them followed the emperor with the
hridse1oozn. ~ they stood silent on the

How Girls Can Be Pretty.


You come back to town richer in flesh,
more determined to success, but Just
wondering little bit at the way the
kisses Of the sun and the browning that
flashed from the waves have affected
your skin. There is no use in telling You
that freckles and sunburn are becoming:
you do not contradict your brothers when
they tell you this, but in your heart you
do not believe they quite know.
The trouble having been stated, the
remedy must be found. First, your
blood must be gotten into good condi-
ton by using tonic for it. This may
be little eau de cologne or some alcohol
in the water in which you bathe your
face, neck and arms; 1t will have an al
most instantaneous effect, and you will
be conscious Of glowing, exhilarated
condition.
Then at night use some fine cosmetic.
There are many perfectly harmless ones
that are more pleasant than vaseline or
olive oil, though both of these are equally
good.
Drink milk twice day, and remember
that it must be ordinary milk, not cream.
It is said to be more whitening to the
skin than anything applied on the out
side, and surely it Is at once pleasant
and healthy. Ladies' Home Journal.

WORDS OF ADVICE TO YOUNG WON
EN- WHO WOULD BE DOCTORS.

Nellie Bly's Financial SUGGESTIVE Pei
surprise-sman Wages of women-she
Belongs in America.
A wonderful change in respect to fe-
male labor has rapidly developed within
the last half century. A vast number Of
the common schools have passed into the
hands of women, with manifest gain
to the cause of education, as well as to
that Of the sex. Women fill clerkships
IN almost every department of industry.
At least as many women as men stand
behind counters They have largely
taken possession Of the lighter forms of
labor introduced by the utilizing of
electricity.
The foundation of colleges for women
and the opening to them Of some of the
older colleges have prepared the way for
their introduction into the various pro-
fessions. We already have successful
female lawyers, ministers. artists and
especially doctors.
Some Of our female doctors stand on
an equality with their medical brethren
in culture, reputation and success, and
the tendency toward this profession on
the part Of young women now gradual
ing at our higher literary institutions is
one to be encouraged.
The natural instincts Of women are in
this direction. 1t is this that makes them
90 much at home in the sick room, and
such angels Of mercy in military hos
pitfalls. The field for them is broad and
remunerative They need to accompany
the foreign missionary everywhere. They
are best suited to minister to their own
sex and to children generally.
But they must prepare themselves
most thoroughly for the work, adding to
the discipline of the college the fullest
mastery of medicine that can be fur
sniahed by first class medical schools
They cannot rely upon any feeling of
gallantry here. It must be seen that
they are the equals Of their brothers.
Further. we are sorry to say that it is
not infrequently the case that members
of the medical profession are at present
unequal to their responsibilities. It has
been too easy to get medical diplomas
School has competed against school, to
the injury of the profession and the peril
of the sick. Our best medical schools
recognize and deplore this condition of
things, and are doing what they can to
improve it.
We say, therefore, to young ladies
that the field is open to them, with the
pioneer work already done. But let none
enter it who is not suited to the work
by native tact, self reliance and what
may be called physical and moral hardi-
'hood.-Youth's Companion.

women's Small Wages.


In conversation with the proprietor of
q large dry goods emporium, 'who paid
his men clerks from 90 to $50 per week,
and his wtAien from s.. so to Sc week,
in reply to my appeal for equal wages
for all he said: "These women are not
as competent as the men, nor will they
try to learn, as many are here for the
purpose Of getting pin money, others
through necessity. But all deem it I'M
necessary to acquire competency in the
business, as the prospect or hope Of mar
rage is ever before them, and the en-
ployment is but bridge to carry them
across to that harbor." This is flimsy
excuse wherewith to quiet mans con-
science when paying a woman wages
upon which she could scarcely exist, not
honestly live, and her incompetency did
not prevent him from demanding the
same rate of Zines" as that Of her bet
ter paid brother. Yet it admitted of no
argument. for if woman will work for
pin money, no employer could be ex-
pected to prevent her from making the
amount as little asshe liked; but if those
who either go out or take work home to
do for spending money, and they are
many, could but realize that because
they are not entirely dependent upon
their earnings for livelihood, and can
afford to work for small wages, by
30 doing reduce the wages Of those
who are entirely dependent, think the
number who thus unconsciously wrong
their sister women would be less.-Mrs
L. M. Barry-Lake in Elmira Telegram.

Nellie Bly's Big Salaries.

The field of woman's work steadily
grows in New York, and there are now
twenty women working on the daily
papers where one worked ten years ago.
Some of the girls are having phenome-
nal success. and hear that Nellie BLY,
has made her fortune from her trip
around the world. In the first place
she got good salary from the paper,
and her lecture tour brought her in just
$500. A Brooklyn real estate man
gave her lot in that city, and she was
presented with another lot in Iron City,
Tenn. These lots are worth at least
81 500, and SO her net profits up to date
have been at least $4,000. In addition
to this, 10000 copies of her book have
been issued, and second edition will
be published Her reputation has gone
up like shot, and she has, am told,
decided to leave newspaper work. and
has contracted with N. L. Munro to
write serial stories of weekly Install
ments for his story paper. She is to get
$40, 900 for the first year, and $15, 900 a
year for the next two years to come, and
she has at the same time the right to do
some outside work. This is big pay for
a girl of the age of Nellie Bly, and she
will be the highest salaried young wom-
an in the United States.-Cor. Cincin-

mostly used, while blackbirds are still
perched on some chapeaux, and short

THE TRENTON TRAGEDY.

The public, untutorcd in the law and anxious
only to see justice yiudicatcd, viii have some
difficulty to satisfy itself that Chicf-Ju,ticc
BeaScy'S action admitting DR.. kniiin and
Emma Purcell to bail was right The court
may say that no alternative was loft it when
the prosecutor failed to appear and show cause
why they should be held. The prosecutor says
he was sick, but surely he might have had the
State in some way represented. The arrest of
Knifiin and Miss Purcell was warranted by the
facts already disclosed, and it is possible that
the disclosures yet TO come may affect the
question Of their release on any bail whatever.
Interest in this Trenton tragedy has grown
greatly since il occurred. i seems to be :,
remarkable case. Many mysterious circum
stances surround it. each Of which points sug
gestively al the guilt Of Kninin and Miss Pur-
cell. The crime occurred while only Miss Pur-
cell and Mrs. kniiiin were occupying the Doc
tors house lie and his son were both away
One morning persons entered the house to find
it in great disorder, with Mrs. Knnn dead in
one room and Miss Purcell lying upon the floor
p another, conscious, but apparently suffer
ing. She told story about burglars and
chlorofOrm, but the physician who saw them
either of them and declares that Miss PuIcclrS
pulse was normal and that her general appear
ancc, manner and condition, while dcn0ting
some nervous excitement, gave no indication
of the presence Of drug. An analysis is now
being made Of the contents Of the dead wOman's
stomach and lis results will be known on Mon
day. Till then even the cause of her death
will be in grave doubt.
1t is curious, if not an accusing, circum-
stance that Miss Purcell had this same burglar
tale 10 tell about month ago. The house
was then turned tOpSy-turyy as it was on the
fatal night though on neither occasion did the
alleged burglars take anything away with them.
When they first came, according to Miss Pur
cell, She was silcnccd by a brandShcd knife.
Mrs. knifln survived these burglars though,
perhaps because she happened to be awake at a
fortunate moment She aftcrward said She had
not seen nor heard any violence, but some one
stole into her room that night and turned on
the gas without lighting it. TO credit these
burglar stories it is necessary to believe that
burglars 90 where there is a reasonable Ger
tainty they will be sure TO find nothing that
having proved that nothing is to be had in a
certain house, they will return to reprove it,
and that they Will go to the extreme Of will
