Some Artists who Make Money,

Miss Wooley, of Wilkesbarre, Pa, who
is a pupil of the School of Industrial Art,
earned $500 in ten weeks from her car
pet designs. Other students have also
met with success in the same school
Miss Esther Kline, of the same city, de-
signed a pattern for mating, sold it to
an agent for a japanese firm, and had
the satisfaction of seeing it reproduced
and brought back to this country to SELL
Clara NJ. Heath, a resident of this city,
had linen design accepted by firm in
Dundee, Scotland. Wall paper patterns
designed by Emma Humphrey, of Water
loo, Ia, and Hattie G. Bickford, of Osh-
kosh, Wis, have been reproduced by the
local trade and greatly admired.
Helen NJ. Greenleaf, of Evanston, Ills,
found a market for her delicate floral
pattern in Carlsbad, and hopes to be able
to own a tea set one of these fine days
Of that china, with her own wild roses
growing round the edge. These free
hand drawings give the student an aver
age of thirty dollars each.
To be sure, it is up hill work for most
of the scholars. For instance, during the
holidays Miss Humphrey sold a design
for silk and received fifty dollars, al
though forced to accept ten dollars a
few months before for a drawing she
considered very fine.-New York World.

All He Could Eat for Ten Cents.

A young Bostonian visiting this city,
and who thought himself very smart,
was easily sold by an old gag" Pre-
tending to be something of an epicure,
he was praising the sea products found
near the Hub, when Philadelphia law
yer remarked: "But you should eat oul
oysters. They would knock you silly,
Why, can give you all the Philadelphia
oysters you car. eat for ten cents"
The Bostonian bet fifty dollars on his
reputation as an oyster eater. SO one
evening, after period of semi-starvation
to fit himself for the contest, he and the
lawyer went to a well known oyster sa-
loon not far from Broad and Chestnut
streets. The lawyer threw dime on
the counter, and told the oysterman tc
go ahead. Ten oysters were opened and
rapidly consumed by the Bostonian. Hi
mouth watered for more, but the lawyer
declined to order them, claiming he had
won the fifty dollars. A storm of re-
proaches greeted him, in the midst OF
which he calmly remarked: my deal
boy, have you not had all the oysters you
can eat for ten cents? Ask the man. He
won't give you any more for the money.

February was also black, but made OF

a scarfpin is usually worn. March was

the sender's eyes, a deep, unfathomable
blue, and tiny daisy decorated one

the shade of the ocean, and one end was
ornamented with miniature sailing

even to glance at the cool white crepe
and the yellow straws painted thereon
certainly suggesting refreshing lem

September was very Frenchy by the
delicate pink of its silk and the tiny vel
low butterfly adorning it-worn by the

sented. The effect was decidedly chic

IN LOVERS WALK.

In Lovers Walk the wind is wild;
To right and left the leaves are piled,
Or writhe amid the branches bare,
Or pad the runways of the hare,
Yet here the sweet June days have smiled.
With wonders then the woods were aisled
The freshest rose and airs most mild
Were found by those who wandered there
In Lovers Walk.
For all those hearts unreconciled
That were with whispered words beguiled
When larks were Keeling in the air,
And scents were blown from everywhere,
The wind is sobbing like child
In Lovers Walk.

We are now assured that the business
woman's dress is to consist of pair of
trousers, a roundabout coat and hat,
and we are told that women of taste will
never be satisfied with such plain garb.
But why should it be PLAN? We can
make the trousers of red or yellow, the
roundabout of blue or green, and we
can put all sorts of trimmings and laces
and ribbons on them. We can make
them of silk or velvet or any material
whatever. We can make the hat very
dainty and flowery.
We can get up all sorts of fancies for
the identifying of the business women's
dress, after the Woman's National coun-
Gil has come to a decision about it. We
can make it plain if anybody wants ii
that way, but you may be sure that few
women will wear it that way for any

ALL NIGHT on The POTOMAC.
A Washington school Girl Said She
Would Go Home and She Went.


Would Go Home and She Went.
Friday there were two excursions to
Marshall Hall, one on the Corcoran and
the other on the Manchester, the Corco-
ran carrying the High school combina-
ton. In the evening about the hour for
returning young girl otsixteen and a
lad of eighteen, possibly, were seated on
the piazza of the house talking, as young
people are liable to do in the cleaning
They heard the warning whistle of a
boat at the pier, but thought it was not
the Corcoran and went not. A few mo-
ments after, however, they concluded it
would be better to go down and see, and
when they got there their boat had gone.
/ They tried to get the Manchester, but
missed that boat.
Now, here was a pretty pickle, and
the young girl almost had fit, but she
soon recovered and vowed she would go
home some way, even if she had to swim.
The servants at the house insisted that
the ladies living there be awakened and
the young girl go in with them, but she
demurred and asked about a rowboat.
1t was finally learned that boats were to
be had a mile or SO up the river, and
taking the helpless young man under
her arm she started off in the darkness
to the place designated. Arriving there
safely, she got the boat and two men to
} row it, and assuming command she put
her escort aboard, wrapped herself in his
macintosh and set sail for home, where
she said her mother was awaiting her
About 1890 there came up a terrific
rain, and the girl was out there on the
Potomac in an open boat taking it all
The old skipper at the bow oar said he
had never seen an angrier sky. But the
girl said never "A word, except one or two
of encouragement to the rowers and to
her escort, who in his nice light spring
suit was dripping and shivering by her
side The boat filed half full of water
and there was no way of bailing it out,
but still they kept on. Then the rain
stopped and the biting north wind came
down and the crew and passengers were
nearly frozen, and the young mans
clothes were blown dry on his back and
he was as blue as Monday and his teeth
chartered.
AT 4:30 in the morning they put in at
Alexandria, but only to find no train or
ferry for two hours, and the girl gave
the command I'd move on to Washington,
and once more the tiny bark breasted
the waves and the sturdy oarsmen bent
beneath their stroke, and the young man
shivered aud shivered and wanted to
throw bricks at his confounded luck.
At $50 they landed at the wharf, and,
after paying the men ten dollars for their
heroic all night work, the young fellow
followed the girl to the street cars and
they came up town.-Washington Star.

THE CHICAGO AND ALTON.
The Claim Made it was Boycotted for Ez-
pressing an Opinion.

New YORK, April 9.-James Carlton,
general passenger agent of the Chicago and
Alton, said to-day: The board Of rulings
claims that il has boycotted the Chicago
and Alton because Of my circular of March
%, 1891, in which ! stated that
the Chicago and Alton in &c
cordance with its agreement in
the Western passenger association, is in
favor Of the payment of a reasonable COM
mission to ticket agents. It Will be OBJ
served that the circular does not state that
we were paying or will pay commissions in
the territory which the board Of rulings
claims to control. The Chicago and
Alton. therefore, is boycotted for ex-
pressing an opinion and not for
paying commissions. Our competitors
have paid commissions. The board of rul-
ings is aware of this and has all the facts
before it, but while it boycotted the Chi
cago and Alton for expressing an opinion
on the payment of commissions,
it has so far avoided boycotting
the competitors Of the Chicago and
Alton for paying commissions. That board
oT rulings IN the Nineteenth century in free
America IS taking TO itself the autoeratic
position OF kiGgly aud pr!estiE
powers OF the middle ages, and
decides what opinions American
citizens shall avow, and il they ayow any
other intiict the penalty OF boycott. What
difference is there between the arrogant
methods OF these gentlemen and those of
anarchists They both seek to rule by
force and act as If might was right on the
principal OF throttliug man if he does not
agree with them"
