How Society Woman Was Forced Into
Working Position.
There is a well-knOwn society woman
in Buffalo-one feels like apolorizinp
for that term, but what else can one say
of woman who really is widely known
as one of the most delightful women
that has ever graced American society?
who has just taken the housekeeper's
charge of a 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 Lis breakfast he never sus-
pectcd 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 dutyof the proprietor-the gen.
eral management of affair5-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. Y. Even

HOW THEY GET BACK.


/ DotIC0 u Disappointed europeans TO ho-
| turn Home.
! Every one is aware that there is an
export trade in cattle hatwean this
country and Europe, but very few out
side of those personally interested in
the business have a 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
stock in transit. About half of these
are regular cattle-men used to the care
of animals, and the other half are men
who for one cause or other are DESTROYS

ers, receiving no other reward for from
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

News reporter had an interesting con-

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-

Youngsters who have run away from re-
spectacle homes in the old country and

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

friends on the other side. We like to
get them, too, as they are harder work.

THE PRAIRIE FARMER.

country round,

A restless feeling DER me steals that's hard to

ean 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

and poor,
But as / sit behind my team and pillow the deep
black loan,
I see the apple trees in bloom round my New
England home.
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.
My boys are grown to stalwart men, nv 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
wilds 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,
thousand leagues the wild goose flies on tire
less wing oerhead
Straight as an arrow to the bleak, bare north
where it was bred;l
So in the spring my faithful heart, holding all
else in scorn,
Turns back to old New England and the home
where l was born.
Though here I've cast my lot for life, and here I
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 l may watch the mountains glow and
ocean break in foam,
And see in spring the orchards bloom round
my New England home

? 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 tumus, 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 odors
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-distilliatiSn,
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 enfourage. the doors 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 a 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 dash of verbena,
the perfume of the delicate and fleetinp
''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 Tibet 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. -

DEPLORABLE BUT TRUE.
Instead of Being a Friend, Woman is
WOp,an'S Worst Fnemv

Instead of Being Friend, Woman is
WOran's Worst Enemy.
Woman is the sweetest creature the
Lord has ever made, but it has yet
to be proved that she is woman's
best friend. 1t is harsh
thing to say, but it is fact neverthe-
less, that women do not love one
another. Their sympathies go out to
the feathered tribe, the dumb animals,
the heatbea, and pagan, the prisoner of
justice, and the male tippler, the festive
tramp, the fashionable roue, the van
pushed slugger, and the hero of the
stage and society, but no compassion is
wasted on the young girl struggling for
footing, the dependent widow or the
wretched woman who could succeed in
saving herself if only given little en-
enlargement and assistance.
Women with tender hearts and ample
means will do church work, scatter
tracts, keep the cash in an exchange or
white ribbon restaurant, stand in a
Jacobs well' or bazaar and sell frappe
sweets and fancy goods all day long
for sweet charity. Yet these same
ladies, if appealed to, will refuse let
ter, testimonial or guarantee of good
will which means bread to the suppli
cant. A dozen pretty, plausible and po-
lite excuses are given for declining the
favor, bat pecuniary help is not offered
either, and the applicant goes off in de-
spair and does the best she can, which
is often far from good.
Ask any girl in the mill, the cloak
factory, the muslin factory, the dress
making establishment or any other in
dustry where forewoman is employed,
and she will tell you she detests the
woman she has to work for
