Glow did that homely woman con-

quently remarked Of some good domes-
tic creature whom her husband regards
as the apple Of his eye, and in whose
plain face he sees something better
than beauty.
Pretty girls who are vain of their
charms are rather prone to make OBJ
servations of this kind, and conscious
ness of the fact that flowers of lowell

ly, is no doubt in many cases at the
bottom of the sneerine question.
The truth is that most men prefer
LONELINESS and amiability to beauty
and caprice. Handsome women are
sometimes very hard to please. They
are apt to overvalue themselves. and.
in waiting for an immense bid, are oc-
casionally ''left on the Market" The
plain sisters, on the contrary, aware
of their personal deficiencies, generally
lay themselves out to produce an agree
able impression, and in most instances
succeed. They don't aspire to capture
paragons with princely fortunes, but
are willing to take anything respect

may throw in their way.

Over the eastern branch Of the Poto-
mac, in Anacosta, better known as Union
town during the war, there was buried
recently b woman whose story did much
to stimulate the antislavery sentiment
In the north. She was revelation OF
the possibilities Of patient negro ambi-
ton. Born fifty-six years ago, in Prince
George county, Nd, she was little
slave girl of six when her owner put her
ont to service in Washington family.
At that age she began to hoard money to
buy her freedom. Year after year she
put by the pennies, for nothing larger
fell to her in tips.
She had collected 800 in coppers when
tho attention Of some Of the public men
Of that day was called to her. Hannibal
Hamlin, then in congress but afterward
vice president, became especially inter
ested. He told the story Of Emeline
Belt with such pathos that $3.50 was con-
tributed by northern people. Then a
beries Of entertainments was given to aid
her, and q few years before the war the
girl, grown to womanhood, was able to
hand over to her master 800 and receive
her freedom. ~ Washington Cor. st. Louis

Love That stood the Test.

Those who Witnessed the solemnizing
Of the nuptials in which Miss Mary E.
Flynn and James A. Polk were made
life partners at Newport, Del, the other
day, recalled frightful accident which
befell the couple one dark evening three
years ago. The young lovers were run
into by fast express on the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore rail-
road, and hurled bleeding and uncon-
scious to the ground. The horse was cut
to pieces and the vehicle wrecked. The
bride elect was hurt more seriously than
the groom, and her life was despaired of.
She recovered somewhat, but is Grip
pie for life. This frightful calamity did
not cool the ardor of the lovers, and the
anniversary of the accident which near
" killed both was celebrated by mar
riage.-Cor. Baltimore American.

The Creates rrottcr.

One hardly knows whether Sunol, tho
California 5-year-old mare, is the great
est trotter or not. 1t is true she made q
mile in 2sosi. beating BY half second
the great performance Of Maud s at
Cleveland in 1885, But Maud S won
her 2:06a upon the old fashioned track.
Eunol's track at Stockton. Cal. was the
lite shaped one, with only one long turn.
The kite shaped track favors the horse
to such an extent that 1t il still some
what matter Of doubt whether Sunol
Is faster than Maud s.
There are several things, however,
that arc not matters Of doubt. One Is
that Robert Bonner certainly owns the
two fastest trotters on the globe. What
: sight it would be to zee the two beau
ties together in q light road wagon.

Paw or Actors.

Some of the figures of the salaries sue
cessful actors receive look bewildering to
the clerk or typewriter who tolls eight to
ten hours day for from seven to fifteen
dollars week. But the ones who get
the large pay are about as one to 500.
Then. too. it is to be remembered that
theatrical people are unemployed two to
three months in the year, and must live
during the summer on what they save
In the season. Again, their expenses are
enormous compared to those Of the ordi-
nary wage worker. They dare not
'.skimp" either their stomachs or their
backs. for the effect will at once be
manifest in their physical appearance.
and to the player physical appearance is
everything.
In the Jefferson Florence combination
Florence gets 81 200 week. When
Modjeska played in the Booth Barrett
company she was paid $1,000 week.
Next to these comes Lillian Russell, the
favorite American prima donna in opera
comique. In the Lillian Russell Opera
Comique company, of which she is the
central sun, she gets $500 week Times
have changed since the days when this
beautiful woman and peerless singer was
found one day by her mother, who ar
rived Unexpectedly. doing her own house
work in basement in New York.
Francis Wilson is another who sud-
denly took the public by storm, and
rode upon the waves Of popularity to
fame and fortune. He received last
season 5000 week, with extra pay for
matinees. Before he became rich he
began to build a modest home for him
self in one of New York's prettiest sub
urbs, New Rochelle With the sudden
accession of fortune the design was re-
modelled and the modest cottage before
it was finished swelled to castlelike pro-
portions, with complete theater on the
top floor.
Mrs. John Drew gets in the Jefferson
Florence company $500 week. Ada
Rehan is said to receive from Raly $500
week, while De Wolf Hopper com

have struck bad snag. That is, they
have run upon law of their own max.
ing which makes them liable to criminal
prosecution for conspiracy. While q
member of the lower house of the legis-
lature, lin 1887, Ignatius Donnelly, now
president Of the Farmers Alliance of
Minnesota, secured the passage of a con.
stitutional amendment which was adop-
ted by the people in the fall of 1888.
It provides "Any combination of per-
sons, either as individuals or as mem
bers or officers of any corporation, to
monopolize the markets for food products
in this State, or interfere with or restrict
the freedom of such markets, is hereby
declared crimina conspiracy, and shall
be punished in such manner as the legis.
lature shall provide" All action taken
under the now famous circular comes
plainly under this law, and the promoters
of the scheme are said to be struck with

= The most reliable advice, says the
Hartwell Sun, regarding the future price
of cotton is to the effect that good grades
of cotton will meet with ready sale, but
that the low grades, such as cotton care.
lessly handled in picking and ginning,
will not be saleable at any price, for the
reason that there is now on hand enough
of the off grades to supply the demands
for that class for the next twelve months,
if there was not sorry bale packed this,

bear this. in mind, as there is scarcely any

"Mr. Webster didn't know it ALL" re-

saying swrack" when he meant "wreck."
II is certainly true that the eminent lex.
icographer had no idea Of a hundred and
one meanings which are attached to
words by people who scorn the authority
of college and purists.
"Politeness," said old Jack Heverin, an
aged .storekeeper in small Pennsylvania
town, "always pays, no matter where you
be. 1t don't do to be polite off and on so
to speak, but must have it with you at all
times"
The small crowd of loungers he was
entertaining nodded assent, aud Jack con-
tinued: "When I was in California in
'52, there was q young man in our camp
who was SO polite that it passed into a
byword. No one ever saw him lose his
temper, and his face always wore smile,
rain or shine. He had q placer claim
that didn't pan out as we'll as it might
have done, buthe worked away cheerful
ly. and by dint of saving what he made,
and by sticking at it like good fellow,
young Champney managed to roll up
quite respectable pile.
"Well, one day, when the young
fellow was cleaning up the weeks dirt,
q big rufianly chap appeared in the
bank, with cooked revolver as long as
your arm, and leveling it at Champney's
head, said:

the rascal was going to pillage his tent,
