Hard Worked Girls.

1t IS a fact that in New York city hun
dreds Of girls employed in she tenement
house sweating shops are forced to work
from ten to seventeen hours a day. AT
6 o'clock, during what is called "the
drag" when a contract is taken on short
time the doors are locked and all hands
kept at work till 10 or II o'clock. The
condition Of factory girls is not much
better, although the system is less com
pulsory.
Manufacturers Of feathers, flowers,
braid, passemeuteriea and dress trimmings
instruct their foremen ito let" the girls
take work home This is not to benefit
the girls so much as TO fill orders, for ne
extra pay is allowed, and it is under
stood that all night work must be check
ed of in the morning before the days
labor is resumed In this way the mid

How q Man Traded His WE.

A few months ago a man named Pin
norman arrived in Darlington, this conn.
ty, with herd of ponies. Among tbog.
who looked longingly on pariienls,
pony was George Davis, a young married
man of that place. Davis had no money
but he possessed a wife whom he Offered
to exchange for the animal and a money
consideration. The wife was consulted
and after few days dickering thinner,
man agreed to give the pony and a deed
to IA acres of land in Montana in az.
change for the woman. The papers wer.
drawn up, and Zimmerman took the
woman and Davis the pony.
The cowboy and Mrs. Davis went west
but she soon repented and asked to Ia
taken back to her first love. BY this
time Davis discovered that Zimmerman
did not own a foot Of land in Montana
or any other Mace. The innocent look.
ing pony turned out to be everything
that vas bad, and when Mrs. Davis ar.
rived home she was gladly welcomed BY
her vightful husband. Beaver Falls pa,

riages was read in the cathedral Sunday
morning, and caused considerable com

After expressing disapproval of after.
noon marriages the bishop concluded by
giving notice that hereafter no persons
will be allowed to attend marriages in
the cathedral except those holding cards

vent the gathering of crowds of sight
seers at the church during such ceremo-

The church holds marriage to be a sac.

for people to gather around and laugh
and talk in the ediice during its celebra-
ton. The order is an innovation on an
old custom in Savannah, and is not taken
kindly TO- The ladies especially, who
are always DESTROYS of witnessing the

Tie silent Ohm.

A queer club was once established in
London, under the title Of Silent club
The members were bound to express
themselves at all club meetings, as far as
possible, without words. The first rule
Of the club was, "The members Of this
academy shall think much, write little,
and be as mute as they can.
On one occasion new candidate ap-
piled for admission. But the members
were limited and all vacancies filed A
meeting was called, the candidate was to
be introduced, and the president was to
announce his decision. When the gen.
tleman entered the members, who were
all his friends, were as much disappoint-
ed as he that he was to be refused, AS
ne approached the president rose and
silently handed him a cup of water, 50
full that a single drop would have made
it overflow.
The applicant perfectly understood
what the president meant, but he was
courageous and quick witted. Without
speaking, he took from his button hole 8
single rose ard laid it gently on TOP Of
rnu wafer. ne iald II on 50 softly that
not a drop was displaced, and handed it
back to the president with bow.
With one consent the members ap-
plauded. They resolved to put their rule
aside, and to admit the man who showed
them that he could ornament their So
ciety without hurting it.
Then the man thanked them in an
equally curious way. When the register
was handed him to be signed he wrote
below his name the number of the club
MEMBERSHIP. He added before it O.
making it O100 Underneath he wrote
"Their value will be the same"
The man was so modest that the Presi-
dent complimented him Immediately by
rubbing out the and substituting the
figure l. This made the number 100
Underneath he wrote, Their value will
be increased eleven times"
These ingenious people must have de-
voted a great deal of time and thought
to avoid using their tongues.-Harper's

July /. After that time rooms that haze
not been applied for may be had by any
club member. Ia order TO give all The
girls an opportunity to enjoy vacation
at one Of these places the length Of each
guests stay is limited to two weeks.
These houses are self supporting, al
though they give the girls needed vaca-
ton at a minimum Of cost. The entire
expense Of the trip aside from the new
clothes, without which no really feminine
girl goes anywhere, is only $3.50. The
terms for board are three dollars a week,
to be paid week in advance Of departure.
A sort Of general agent has been APP
pointed who Classics all applications for
accommodations, and is prepared to say
just how many girls take advantage Of
this opportunity. She is Miss Kate
Walsh, and her headquarters are at her
clubs rooms in Thircy-eighth street.
An interesting little story is told about
the founding Of these homes. One day
about four years ago lady, a stranger,
called upon Bishop Potter and told him
she had $1,000 she wished to devote 10
come philanthropic object. She could
not make up her mind, and so she begged
hun to suggest something. He men
toned beds in hospitals, missions, homes,
orphan asylums, but nothing seemed to
suit her. After she had called several
times the idea Of a summer home for
working girls, in connection with the
clubs in which his daughters and nieces
are interested, occurred to him. This
was just what she wanted. She paid the
$1,000 in cash 10 the bishop, departed,
and has never been heard Of since.--New

as arrer II O'CLOCK. ms IS Specially true
during the warm spring and summer
months, when the setting of the sun and
the consequent cooling process which the
earth Immediately begins sends off
vapors and exhalstions in vitiating guam
titles. After two or three hours the at
mosphere is rid of its impurities and
clear TO noticeable degree.
This air should come into our sleeping
rooms copiously, not in direct draught
upon the bed, but for free circulation
through the apartment Happily nova
days most private houses are built with
transoms to the bedrooms and it is easy
to set the air moving. Such, however,
as are obliged TO occupy one Widowed
sleeping room without transon will
find good air circulation got by lowering
the window from the top and raising it
from the bottom.
The ventilation of the sick room is an
other subject in which most persons have
not advanced from the old fashioned
notion that air direct from the outer at
mosphere is to be avoided. A trained
nurse will tell you that she fights this
obstinately-clung-to tenet in nine farni-
hes out of ten to which she goes. Yet
who so much needs the vitality and
strengthening qualities of fresh air as a
patient struggling with disease?
1t was refreshing to encounter sensi-
bic mother the other day who has recent
ly brought her two boys through scarlet
fever, and hear her tell how every two
or three hours she covered them up,
leaving just breathing space, and filed
the room with fresh air. 1t was doubt
less an important factor in their easy
convalescene and entire freedom from
the too often serious aftermath Of this
dread disease. Her Point of View in

A glove tree IS a new fancy. This is a
plaster cast of the hand of the owner on
which she stretches her gloves when not
in use, so that they are nodded to the
hand when worn, and do not get out of
shape lying in the glove box or drawer.
Very few people take proper care of a
kid glove after removing it from the
hand Nothing is more slovenly than TO
roll it up in a hard little wad in the way
it is sometimes disposed Of when not in
use. Remove it from the hand carefully;
do not strip it off, turning it inside out
and strainiug all the seams, but take it
off gently, pulling each of the fingers
into shape
Lay it lengthwise stretched out in a
glove box Of sufficient length so that it
need not be folded over at the wrist. A
glove that is properly cared for will last
longer and fit far better all the time it
lasts than one that is carelessly treated.
A silk glove should fit the hand as snug
ly as one of kid, and should be taken
care Of as thoroughly. As silk is very
elastic, 1t is necessary to purchase a silk
glove a size or two smaller than the size
of the kid glove worn in order to have
it fit the hand properly.
The very best pure silk glove with
seams will stretch so much after it has
been worn that it viii get out of shape
if the seams are not taken up, This is a
simple matter. Turn the glove inside
out and sew up each seam a mere trife,
but enough to make the glovefit smooth
ly. Try the glove On after this, and be-
hold! it is as snug fitting and perfectly
nodded to the hands as could be desired.
1t will not need taking up a second time
