Pete Wasn't in 1t.

There was meeting of the stockholders
of certain railroad at Jackson, Miss. A
colored man crept up to the head of the
stairs in the building where the meeting
was in progress, and whisperingly asked of
another colored man on duty there:
s'Moses, has dey dun voted to cut wages
DOWN."
"Sahl What you talkin' 'boutl doan
know you, sahp' pompously replied the
other.
sYou dun doar' know me?"
''No, sahr'
'sGit outI Didn't I dun marry your sis
ter Mary, an hain't workin' right in dis
depot?"
"What's de name, sah?"
''NameI Namel Hain't your brudder-
law, Pete Williams2"
can is yo' one of de stockholders of dis
railrode?"
"Ob co'se not"
''Kin yo' vote in dis meetin'2"
"No."
''Den, sab, l begs to inform yo' sab, dat
arter we git frew puroeedin' wild our pur-
ceedips we may decide to culminate de
same to outsiders; an if we do, sab, an
should happen to meet me, sab, l shall be

Colored Petticoats.

A practical part of dress that is often
snubbed by women who think it is cleaner
and more appropriate to wear soiled
white petticoat than one of woolen, silk or
mohair goods in black or dark color To
be sure, it is the difference in taste that
saves Us from monotony, but the saying,
Cleanliness is next TO Godliness," has
truth in every letter
Silk is the most expensive material, glace
taffeta, surah and plain taffeta being used,
with a shell plating, one or three gathered
ruffies or knife plating on the edge.
Others have lace ruffie, and where weight
is objected to there is simply a feather
stitched hem.
Black, lead and dark tan are the pre-
ferred colors in silk, with light and dark
grsy and tan leading in mohair designs,
which are finished with a neat ruffle. One
very pretty skirt of this kind is manufact-
ured in Philadelphia, and has silky white
stripes as border on the dem urest of gray
shades, forming a remarkably taking pet
ticoat.
The sanitary skirt is of black or natural
wool taffeta of q hard, twisted thread,
which gives it & wiry feeling, while beauti-
fully light, soft, non-wrinksble and is alb
solueely dust proof. Such a skirt is by far
more healthful, cleanly and pleasing for
street or travelling wear, besides giving
years wear in place of months and some
times only of weeks.-Emma Hooper il
Dry Goods Economist.

Three Remarkable Women.

Where women find themselves possessed
of exceptional ability in any one line of
science motherhood need not necessarily
deprive them of continuing their interest
or progress in that line.
Lauri Bassi, for thirty years occupying
the chair of professor of physics at Bologna
university, was only 81 years Of age when
she was called to it, and she married and
became the mother of twelve children with
out interruption of her university duties.
Her home, where she carried on many
scientific experiments, was beautiful in its
orderEness, and was the resort of the lovers
of learning.
Mrs. Somerville was the mother of five
children by her two marriages, yet found
time for study and writing her famous
works on astronomy. Harriet Martineau
writes of her home life: cit was delightful
to see her, always well dressed and thor
oughly womanly in her conversation and
manners, while unconscious of any pecu-
larity in her pursuits. 1t was delightful
to go to tea at her house in Chelsea, and
find everything in order and beauty-the
walls hung with fine drawings, her music
in the corner and her teatable spread with
good things"
