Discovery OF a CurIoua Bow ldcr.

Tho vorkmen engaged in lowering the
grade of Third street unearthed n large
bowlder, that would probably weigh sew.
eral tons, imbedded in the earth in front OF
the court house, and a blast of powder was
put in and the upper part of the stone
broken up.
The formation of this bowlder is curious
I'm the extreme. The larger portion of the
rock is composed of sandstone, but imbed-
ded in 1t are numerous pebbles, Jumps of
coal, and one gentleman dug out what Is
claimed to DO "a piece Of petrified wood.
On the surface Of the broken stone was
found the perfect impression of an oak
leaf, although the leaf itself was not to be
found.
The rock is composed much like gran
ite, and is harder than the ordinary build
ing stone used in this vicinity.
III have seen several of these rocks" said
a gentleman who was examining a piece
of the bowlder. ut is what is commonly
called rolling stone That stone start
ed from heaven, and has rolled along until
it finally became imbedded in the soil
where it now is. Every time it was moved
slightly by some action of frost or some
other forces Of nature it increased in size

A Unique stand.

/ recall a stand, both convenient and
pretty, which had a chintz frill reaching
to the floor, matching the window cur
tains and also the curtain concealing the
shelves and books which filled in the space
between the chimney and the end of the

was small one and there was no space in
it to accommodate an ordinary washstand

was place large enough for a stand long

Into this corner carpenter fitted a shelf
fitted to the walls on two sides, with one

length n commodious washstand was ar
ranged, A small towel rack was fastened

SOW York yyorI.Inr olrIs.

Many columns have been written about
the working girls of New York. They have
been described ut one time us the most OPP
pressed people upon the face of the earth,
submitting to every condition of hardship,
and again they have been described us the
underpaid hirelings OF cruel capitalists,
and Nil that sort of thing. The average
working girl in New York is very different
from these descriptions She is cheerful
sort of being, who gets up early works
late, looks healthy and complains very lit
tie. Sometimes she seems u trlile gay, and
often she is lively, recall just now one
instance of absolute cruelty on the part of
her employer, and that is in the case of a
rich dry goods firm which compels her to
stand during all the hours of the day, with
a short respite Mt noon of thirty minutes
for luncheon.
As an offset TO this case may, think,
properly mention the rules Of m extensive
retail establishment up near Twenty third
street The salaries Of the saeswomen in
this place are very liberal indeed, and while
all the girls are compelled to be on time in
the morning there Is no system of fines, A
mere reprimand usually serves all the ends
desired. In summer every saleswoman is
allowed two weeks of vacation on full pay,
and during the duh season She may take
as many moro without salary. But in no
cnse is she compelled 20 do an amount of
work that is calculated to iujure her health
or to interfere with her enjoyment in the
evenings, except on Saturdays. Balti-

Jmdglng Hosiery.

All hosiery is to be judged by the fine
ness of the thread and the closeness of the
texture, which, in the case of stockings es-
pecally, may be partly appreciated by
weighing, as it were, the articles in the
hand In ribbed stockings a deception is
sometimes practiced, against which it is
necessary to guard. The spaces between
the ribs, which ought to be formed by an
inversion of the stitch contains no stitch
at all, but an open range of threads per-
vious TO the weather and utterly destitute
of durability As ribs of stockings exposed
81 sale are necessarily almost in contact
the fault cannot he detected without intro
ducing the hand and opening the tissue,
where it will be instantly apparent, and
indeed will exactly resemble the flaw
caused by dropped stitch in a stocking in

A Real sensible Organization.

The Recreation club is for the purpose OF
having a good time, and they have it. Some
of the most dignified ladies in New York
belong to this club, and it does them a
world of good to lay aside their stateliness
and have good romp. Once a month the
Recreation club has an outing They go
up to High bridge, and there, with no one
to look ON but the Harlem goats and the
bridge policemen, they hop, skip, jump and
run, like lot of boys out Of school. Coats
are thrown over the bridge ratings and
Paris hats are hung ON trees. Drawing
room ethics have no place here. For once
the ethics of Mother Nature have full
sway, and the ladies go home with color
and sparkle which are not due to rouge
and belladonna.-New York Press.

Instead of that, the first lesson should be

the upper and more refined class, those not
subjected TO the searching rays of sum-
raer's sun or chatting effects of spring
wind, are as fair as the average American
woman. Her beautiful dark hair, kept
glossy by the frequent dressing of the ma
tive coiffeur, her dark eyes not so obliquely
set as artists paint them, faint the COM
plexion slightly and make her skin appear
more Opaque than that of light haired,
blue eyed damsel of Sweden Her form is
plump, as nature intended it to be, not
being pressed into unhealthy shapes by
means used in more civilized lands. The
most that can be said against her form is
that her limbs and feet are short, shapeless
and clumsy.-COr. Chicago Inter Ocean.
