In a recent number Of the Boston
Globe. Mabel 5. Clarke urged the need
Of giving training in newspaper-read-
ing, in the public schools. She sug-
gests, where time is limited. the use Of
daily news bulletin to be prepared
and written upon the blackboard every
morning by one of the pupils. This
the teacher and school should examine
and briefly discuss. The pupils should
prepare the bulletin in turn, and the
writer gives as one reason for trial
Of her plan that the exercise is of
special importance for girls, who are
only too prone to initiate their moth
ers in giving TO the journals cursory
examination, if they give any at all i.
Girls are educated like boys in other
departments why not in this prepara-
ton for intelligent society. and for the
held of public life which seems gradu-
ally to be opening to them?"
How TO CULTIVATE MEMoRY.-The
best way to remember thing is to
thoroughly understand it, and often to
call it to mind. by reading continually
with great attention and never pass
ing a passage without understanding
and considering it well, the memory
will be stored with knowledge, and
things will occur at times when we
want them, though we can never re-
call the passages, or f ON whence we
draw our ideas.

RICHES IN OLD HATS.
A New Yorker Who Finds Habit of the
Jobbers Very Profitable.

A New Yorker Who Finds Habit of the
Jobbers Very Profitable.
New York Evening SUM-
No one would ever imagine that there
could be any caste in the old hat business,
but there is a man in this city engaged in
that humble calling who would be disposed
to knock you down If you named him in the
same day with the peripatetic vagabonds
who go about buying up old hats. This
man is an artist in his profession. He has
his regular customers, and they are confined
exclusively to the hat jobbers. e.
When an out-of-town customer visits the
city to buy goods the first thing the jobber
does is to remark that the hat he is wearing
is little shabby.
"Just little dusty" the customer will
probably remark, remembering that he had
put on new hat when he left home.
But the jobber, knowing that little per-
sonal attention is always profitable, will not
be convinced. He takes the mans hat,
throws it under the counter, and presents
him with one of the best he has in stock.
These old hats soon accumulate in the busy
season, running up to as many as dozen
day. In the majority of cases they are prac-
tically as good as new. It has been re-
marked, however, that customers from Con-
necticut, New Jersey and Philadelphia,
knowing that they are sure to get fine new
hat free of charge, always put on their
most dilapidated headgear when they are
leaving home.
How our friend ever Caught on" will
never be known. A quarter apiece is the
orthodox price he pays, and he makes a
round of the jobbing houses every day.
AT home his trade as a halter serves him
in good stead. The hats are supplied with
new sweatband and lining, and many of
them find their way into the smaller hat
stores, where they are sold as brand new.
And our friend has big bank account.

the public tremor over his invalid neighbor;
and Mary, his sister, was always a home
Keeping, quiet woman. Martha made sew
eral efforts to approach the facts in the mys-
terious ease; but, being adroitly baffled by
Malachi, soon abandoned the subject. for the
more satisfactory interests of preparing
sweetmeats of dates and figs for the winter
supply of her family. Rachel and Baruch,
alone, of the neighbors of Ariella, persisted
in their attempts to obtain personal inter-
view with her. But these were as persist
emily foiled.
Baruch was in state of pitiful agitation.
As days swelled into days, and Ariella re-
mained invisible, his misery became so
acute that his mothers sympathy with
Ariella wavered in sheer sorrow over her
own flesh and blood; and she added to her
sons distress by bewaillng the hour in which
she had consented to the execution of the
miracle within her gates. Baruch's position,
take it altogether, was hard one, and grow
ing worse, when the news reached the blind
man that public opinion had taken decided
turn.
Malachi was fatty accused of imprisoning
his daughter that the recovery should not
be verified of the people. and the claims of
the Nazarene emphasized by so merciful and

and Printing, where all the money OF the
United States is made. Notwithstanding
the greatest precautions this department Is
one of the most unhealthy in the Govern
ment. The coloring matter used in tobacco
stamps and in the making of greenoacks
and silver certificates taints the air with It's
poisonous fumes. 1t is necessary 10 keep
the temperature of the big money mill az
high degree in order to have the printing
properly done, and these girls work as hara
as any of the factory girls of England. Ihe
majority OF them are the poorest pald oil our
Government clerks, and they are more ike
laborers than bookkeepers. Hunareds OF
girls stand all day long passing sheets TO
the printers. In the printing OF bank notes
from an engraved plate, only one sheet can
be printed al a time. and the plate has to be
re-fnked for every impression. The printer
gets S5 a day or more, and his assistant in
the shane of one of these girls is paid 81 Is
day. She stands beside him and hands him
the sheets. and she does this for nine or ten
hours at a stretch.
BOTH SEXES WORKING TOGETHER.
But do both sexes work together in the
same Office? OF course they do. American
girls can take care of themselves any place,
and these maidens are by no means "spring
chickens. NOT many OF them are Oh tne
marry, though every now and then we hear
of one dropping off the pay rolls with a good
husband. The late Attorney General
Brewster got wife in this Treasury Depart
ment. She was the daughter of an ex-Sec-
retary of the Treasury, and she was one of
the prettiest women that Washington has
ever known. Brewster saw her as he went
through the department one day on some
legal business long before he was Attorney
General, and he said to friend:
"What a pretty woman!"
She overheard and replied in a stage
whisper: "What an ugly mani" and
Brewster, you know, waa ugly enough to
stop a clock. HIS face had been burnt all
,ut of shape when he was baby by his fall
ng into the fire or by his attempting to
ave his little sister from burning. Both
stories are told, and don't know which is

A SHABBY DUKE,
One Cannot Tell n Mans Wealth By His

One Cannot Tell n Mans Wealth by His
Coat's Appearance.
New Orleans Times Democrat.l
This story comes from the "Peak Coun-
tree" The great cavern at Castleton, En-
gland, attracts large number of tourists
every year, and now and then notabilities
visit the place. A visitor somewhat shah
billy dressed presented himself before the
guide, an official employed by the Duke OF
Devonshire, and asked what it would cost
to see the sights.
''Seven shillings." was the mans reply.
''It seems lot of money" said the in
quirer.
But the guide, with glance at the mans
garments, deigned no answer. The visitor,
however, resolved to go in. Emerging into
the light of day again, he entered his name
In the visitors book, and said: "There's
z shillings for your master and something
for yourself"
The something" was a sovereign. The
guide, staggered by the magnitude of the
gratuity, hastily scanned the visitors book,
and found the signature of well-known
millionaire duke. He looked the surprise
be felt.
''You didn't expect that. did you?" drolly
asked the duke.
mo. Your Grace, I did not" said the
guide, honestly.
"And you thought, now, was scarcely
good for the shillings?" persisted the
duke.
The thought, from the guides frank ad-
mission, certainly had crossed his mind.
"Well," said His Grace, smllingly,

he wears

THE WASTE PAPER ROOM.

This room looks like great country
cellar. Its walls are white-washed and one
half OF the room is divided into three great
bins, which are filled with three kinds of
paper. The girls are carefully watched,
and they sometimes find important docu-
ments, and instances have been known of
money coming down to this room. One of
the most exciting times in the department
occurred some time ago from man dropping
bond into his boot. He had corns, and
his desk being in an alcove, he had taken
off his boot while he was counting some
$1,000 bonds AT the close of his count he
was Mortified to find one missing, and this
was some hours after he had been engaged
in making up his tally. He went in his
slippers to the chief of his bureau and an
nounced the loss. The whole Treasury was
in an uproar, and this waste paper room
was worked from one end to the other to see
If the 81, 900 bond had not fallen into the
waste paper basket and been carried out.
So it went on for the rest of the afternoon
until the clerk, preparing to leave the de-
partment thrust his right foot into the long
leg of his boot and found the rustling 81, 900
bond at the bottom. He was the happiest
manin Washington for the next ten minutes.
for mad he not found the security he would
have been responsible for its loss.

1t takes 500 towels day to supply the
Treasury Department, and last month in
the neighborhood of $1,000 towels were
used. A great part of the Treasury work is
dirty work and every room has a new towel
every day. The washing OF these towels is
done by women who are paid 80 cents a
dozen and who are charged with every towel
they take away. If any are lost they have
to pay for them, and Uncle Sam watches
the corners mighty close in all of his bust
ress.
Is the Treasury Department a good place
for women?
In some ways it is, in oth.r RS it is not. The
wages are better than women get anywhere
else In the country. The hours are shorter
and the labor is honorable. No woman
who respects herself will be insulted in the
Treasury Department. Reports are scat
tered over the country as to the morality of
public officials. 1t is charged that some Of
these great buildings are sinks of iniquity
and that the women who work in them are
not of good character. There was never a
greater mistake. The most of the Treasury
girls are as good as your sisters, your wives
and your mothers. They are as pure and as
high-minded, and they would resent an in
sulting act or look as much as the chastest
Diana of the land. If they receive impro-
prietIes it is their own fault and no woman
who wishes to be honest need fear to take
place in the money mill of our own Uncle
Sam. Miss GRUNDY, JR.

charge of the work have again and again
been compelled to abandon it, because of
frequent revolutions and the I'M

those hundreds of millions that were sent to
Spain in the days of the viceroys.

THE EFFICACY OF PRAYER.
A Lads Faith Somewhat Shaken by q Fail
urc TO Get Well Promptly.

Buffalo Courier.1
The infant son of pious North street
father, in whose family prayers are always
said morning and evening, was taken i'll,
and the physician administered medicine.
On being pus to bed the little fellow was ad-
vised by his Christian mother to pray that
his health he restored. So kneellng at his
crib his little lips lisped: "God bless papa,
God bless mamma, God bless everybody,
God bless the doctor and the med'c to
make me well. Amen"
Next morning the poor little chap was
worse, and he alarmed his fond parents by
symptoms of skepticism as to the efficacy of
PRAYER. He was admonished that perhaps
the Lord wasn't quite ready to answer his
prayer, and to try again. So kneeling the
second night he prayed thus: "God bless
papa. GOD bless mamma, God bless every-
body, God bless the doctor, and hope to
God the med'cin' will work tonight.
Amen"
The boy got well.

CHAPTER XIV.

BARUCH SEES THE HEALED MAIDEN.
In the village of Bethany gossip was
agog.
The extraordinary rumor of the healing
of Ariella had scarcely been set in motion
before it was overtaken by another of q
startling character.
Upon the day following the wonder, the
neighbors focked to the house of Malachi,
and demanded to see the proof of the case.
But the maiden remained invisible. The
house was inhospitably closed. No visitor
was allowed entrance. No excuses were
offered. Silent and sullenly, the locked
door replied to all advances. The people
grew restless at this treatment and became
clamorous, raising cry without:
Malachi hindereth the maidenl He de-
meth the deed, and refuseth the proofs
thereof Shame en- himl Shame on the
Phariseep'
Malachi, who loved to stand well with his
neighbors, and at all events, if he did not,
objected to being told of it, presented him
self promptly at this turn OF affairs. He

the junction Of two great streams, for here
the Rio Gauli comes rushing down to join
the Magdalena on its long journey to the
sea. Honda has few very old buildings of
early Spanish origin, whose enormously
thick walls were built with especial view to
withstanding the earthquakes that are
frequent in this locality; but. in spite of
their solidity, most of the old houses were
long ago shaken into ruins.
To my mind, the most interesting thing
