If you are woman have you got a

billiard saloons were always referred to
In about tho Same contemptuous tone
with which bar-rooms were, but now
adays there are few houses in which
they are so puritanical as to object to a
billiard-room. This is wise. 1t keeps
tho boys at home, gives tho girls some
thing to do and affords to the fashionable
woman an opportunity to display hcr
figure and her dcXtorous handling Of tho
QUO. The billiard-room at the coun-
try house means a great deal, and
the women are mover so happy as when,
possessed of veritable billiard gowns,
they lounge around the room, play or
not, and tell about the days when Cleo

MOTHERS IN FICTION.
Chiefly Conspicuous by Their Absence and
Not Always ADMIR- ..


Not Always Adm rIb ..
a vigorous search has recently been
made in novels for the admirable mother
in fiction, and it gave the searchcrs 4
shock that she failed to rnatcrialiZc.
The father, tho brother. sister, cousins.
aunts and even grandmother, are often
drawn with loving pencil. but the
mother is always subordinate char
acter if introduced at all.
Perhaps because his own mother wa
so unsatisfactory Dickens never put or,
in a novel of his that deserves to be
mentioned in connection with his be-
niTn fathers. Hero is tho list:
''Our Mutual Friend"-Mrs. Wilfer
(outrageous).
"Domboy and Son"-Mrs. Skewton 10
libel on tho scx).
David Coppcrfcld's mother is an
aniablo fool; Mrs. Stecrforth impossible
and horrible; Mrs. Heep mate for her
husband; Mrs. Micawbcr a caricaturo.
In "Bloak House"-Lady Dcdlock q
mother who abandoned her child; Mrs.
Jellyby one who neglected her children
for q hobby.
In Tho Tale of Two Cities" the
mother dies before the story begins.
Then there is Mrs. Coleman ca GRIM
inaD. Mrs. Merdlo and Mrs. Gowan
(worldly), and Mrs. Meaglcs (nicc but
wcak-mindcd in ''Littlo Dorrit"). Dick
ems mothers are all Objectionable.
Thackcray's only concession is Mrs.
PcnGcnnis. Mrs. Edmonds' maternal
qualities arc not strong.
Who docs not love tho gentle Vicar of
Wakefield and his homcly, tender
philosophy? His gentleness is illus
trated by his constant excuses for his
nagging wife.
George Eliot ignores mothers. Mrs.
Poyscr is the most successful, but sho
comes of tho lower order. Mrs. Harloth
and her whole family arc ruled by
Gwendolino. Mrs. Tulliver and Mrs.
Dcano in Tho Mill on the Floss are
almost imbccilo. Tho wonder is that
they had such remarkable children.
Jano Eyre has two thoroughly cruel
and offensive, Lady Ingram and Mrs.
Reed.
Pisistratus' mother in Bulwer
Lytton's novel, "Tho Cations" is a tom
der and loving woman-an exception to
the rule. Charles Reade has one re-
spectacle mother, Mrs. Little ("Put
Yourself in His Place"), but Wilkie Col
Inns falls in with the custom very nat
urally.
Ouida's mothers are nearly all detest-
able.
Robert Elsmcre is the ono excep-
ton. Tho tircsomo hero of that novel
would have done we'll to have been on
dowed with his mothers intellect,
cheerfulness and Vigor. But interesting
as she Is, her maternal influence did
not go far. Amclie Rives has a cruel
and heartlcss mother in "The Witness
OF the Sum-" who sacrifices her sons
happiness to satisfy her selfish passion.
In Mrs. Catherwood's stories tho mother
is conspicuously absent. And so on and
80 on indefinitely.

Harrison's Wall street apologist has
been writing another scrced on finance
in which he contends that there is
money enough among the people to
transact the business OF the country.
He estimates that there is S22 per
head, and claims that this is larger
circulation per capita than is pos
sessed by any other country, except
France. The calculation might be all
we'll enough if our money were all in
circulation among the people and
somewhat equally distributed. But
such not being the case, the estimate
is wholly misleading. Every bank in
the land must hold in its vaults from
ID to % per cent. of its capital and
deposits if it would conduct safe
banking business. This, coupled
with tho several reserve funds in the
United States Treasury and the idle
amounts always on hand in the MINIS
and Sub-Treasuries of the Govern
ment, will reduce the sum in actual
circulation to less than $40 per capita
Nor is this all. The moneyed wealth
of the land ia very largely concentrated
in the hands Of the few. There are
millions Of people who have not the
80 while there are few who have
millions at their command. If there
were not 80 many Vanderbilts, and
Astors, and Mortons, and Hunting
might be different. 1t is, indeed,
doubtful it every editor in the land
has reached such stage Of affluence
as TO be able TO command S22 at
moments notice. And how about
the agriculturists and toilers of the
country who almost invariably have
three-ply mortgages on their posses
sions, where they have anything at
all to mortgage. 1t is the object of
this latest Administration illumination
to make it appear that we have an
abundance Of money and that there
is no necessity for adding to it by an
increase of silver coinage. OF course
the whole statement is false from be-
ginning TO enn. Money is scarce,
times depressed and the great major
ity Of people poor in all sections of
the Union. Mr. Window and his po-
litical and gold bug associates can go
on th mixing il they will that there is
noohing Che matter with the volume
Of the peoples money in ibis country,
but as sure as there are elections in
the future there will come a day of
reckoning and they will be made to
hear something drop with dull and
sckening thud."--I Eureka Sentinel.
