Corr, spending without Stamps.

Two local business men made a
wager regarding the payment of local
postage. A said he could send letter
through the Springfield post office that
would be delivered to B, who would re-
turn an answer to him, and neither A
nor b would pay any postage, nor
would any be required. Baccepted the
wager. A and b exchanged en-
velopes bearing their respective
business cards thereon, and agreed
on fictitious address, like John
Jameson, Boston, Mass. A wrote
a letter to b, using the envelope with
BIS business card, addressed it as agreed
and dropped it into street letter box
without affixing postage stamp. In
due time the cashier returned" the
letter to Is marked held for postage" F"
b opened and read the letter and re-
piled, inclosing his answer in AS en-
velope and paying no postage. A re-
ceived his letter similarly marked and
won the cigars. All letters and pack
ages bearing the name of the sender
and having no stamps attached are re-
turned to the sender to be stamped. A
took advantage of this rule, and by us
ing BIS envelope the letter was re-
turned to B, the supposed sender, and
BIS letter reached him for the same
reason. - Springfield Mass Home

WOMAN'S INTERESTS.

QUITE sensation has been caused
among the clerks in the New York
post office by the entrance of seven
young women into the money order de-
partment as clerks during the last
month. The girls obtained their posi-
tions by surprising their male compet-
itors at the civil service examination,
and will receive the same pay as male
clerks.
THE managers of the royal infrmary
at Edinburgh have resolved to admit
women students to it's wards for the
purpose of qualifying for clinical in
struction. This concession is largely
due to the efforts of the court Of man.
agement of the Chamber Street College
of Medicine for Women, whose students
up to the present time have been
obliged to go to Glasgow for their hos
pital instruction.
AN agricultural school has just been
erected in the peninsula of Jutland to
which women are eligible. The course
of instruction includes the treatment of
milk for cream, butter and cheese, care
of cattle and poultry, chemistry, agri-
cultural bookkeeping and the circula-
ton of percentage and application of
weights and measurements in handling
milk, fat, feed etc. Besides this the
young women are taught kitchen gar
dening, cooking, needle work and gym
nastics.
THE female population in the facto.
ries of New York is roughly estimated
at 100, 900, and greed has so debased
capital that in the sweating shops the
earnings of the women do not average
higher than 20 cents day. Trousers
are made at 12 and 25 cents a pair; cot
ton shirts pay 20 cents a dozen, flannel
shirts 81 and vests So dozen. Our city
government sets the bad example of
paying women teachers 93 per cent.
less than the male instructors, and at
Washington there is difference of 80
per cent. in the salary for identical SER
viea.

AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN.

The Bright Accomplished Young Lady
who Acts as Private Secretary to Mrs
Morton.
Miss Hunt, who is private secretary to
Mrs Morton, is the daughter of the late
Judge Hunt, of Washington, who died
in st. Petersburg when American en-
bassador to the court of the czar. She
is the Observation-Disclosures OF tho
distinguished Chancellor Livingston, of
New York, and granddaughter of the
late Commodore Ridgely, United States
navy. When in Russia with her father,
the late Judge Hunt, she was much ad-
mired and gained special distinction for
her remarkably fine voice, which is OF
the contralto order and may be describ-
ed as dramatic. Living in Russia at the
time of the coronation of the czar she
had all advantages, from the official ca
pacity of her father, of the entree to all
the court functions and great ceremoni-
ais, and these advantages may be con-
sidered as exceptional Mrs. Morton is
much attached to her secretary, who re-
ceives with her and pours tea at recep-
tions-an amusement much liked by
Washington girls-and at state dinners
and many entertainments Of private
nature Mrs. Morton depends on her
young secretary to entertain the guests
Miss Hunt lives with her aunt in Wash
ington. Finding since the death of her
father that her income was limited
one, and having an independent spirit,
Miss Hunt has chosen to accept the po-
sition of private secretary to the vice
presidents wife, which is not only re-
munerative one but causes much enjoy
ment to come in her way.-Chicago

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

-Ruskin is very small man phys
ically, and person beholding him for
the first time is sure to be disappointed
in him. He has sweet and fascinating
smile and very light blue eyes,
Nine. Bruno Sperani, the chief
woman novelist of modern Italy, lives
in Milan. She is in the prime of life,
has written n number of successful
novels, and is the center of literary
colony.
Elijah Kellogg, the man who wrote
"Spartacus to the Gladiators" and
"Regulus to the Carthagenians," once
so familiar to every school-boy, is still
living in Harpswcll, Me, He is cler-
gyman, 81 years old, and even now
breaches occasionally.
The selection of j. G. Bancroft
Davis to fill the vacancy in the Wash
ington Monument society, caused by
the death Of George Bancroft, was most
appropriate, in that he is a nephew of
the distinguished historian and is him
self scholar of high repute.
Among the late George Bancroft's
pupils at the Round Hill school in
Northampton Mass, where he taught
while quite a young man, were John
Lothrop Motley, Ellery Claiming,
Henry w. Bellows, Theodore Sedgwick
and several others whose names were
afterward famous.
Lady Marjorie Gordon, the ten-year.
old daughter of the countess of Aber-
deem, edits the children's page of pa
per styled Onward and Upward, pub
lished in London. Little Lady Marjorie
writes lively letter to her young con-
stituents, and tells them interesting
stories about her pet animals, being
probably the youngest editor in the
world.
Lord Dufferin's success as q diplo-
mate at the cars court was ascribed in
large degree to the charms of his wife,
who became a favorite of the Russian
aristocracy. In Rome, where her hus-
band is now stationed as the representa-
tive of England, she is no less popular
Besides being woman of tact and judg-
ment, the countess is a lnguist of much
ability, conversing fiuently in French,
German and Italian.
Queen Christina of Spain is carrying
out, to the intense disgust of her house
hold, the reforms introduced by the late
Duke dAosta, by which the viands COM
ing from the royal table are retained
instead of becoming the perquisites of
servants, as was formerly the case.
Wine, fruit, bonbons, pastry and any
dishes left, as well as flowers and wax
candles used for the sovereign's table,
never were allowed to appear again,
and the result was an appalling amount
of waste.
Nine. Sara Bernhardt eclipses any
passenger who has arrived at New York
since the foundation of the government
in the matter of trunks she brought in.
Nearly everybody remembers the ar
rival of Mr. Blaine in the fall of 1888.
The distinguished secretary Of state,
with nearly all his family, brought in
only thirty-four trunks, and that was
considered by the customs department
as almost the biggest personal baggage
up to date. But Nine. Bernhardt comes
in with one hundred and seven trunks,
two or three dogs and her astounding
personality. She is way ahead.

BRILLIANT WIVES.
Men who Marry Their SuperiOrs, and the
Unhappy Consequences.

Unhappy Consequences.
Matrimony can not change human
character, and when two persons of es-
sentially antagonistic natures are un-
fortunately united in its bonds, it is
only by the exercise of mutual forbear-
ance that they can hope to live together
in peace and amity. Intellect, there
fore, should never mate with imbecility,
nor principle with immortality, nor puri-
ty with grossness. No good ever came
of such unions, yet they take place
every day. Passion blinds the judg-
ment in these cases, and when the love
lamp goes out and the ordinary day
light looks in, one of the parties at least
is sure to stand aghast at the realities
which it reveals.
The most foolish thing that fool can
do is to marry highly gifted woman.
His vanity-for all weak men are vain
is sure to take fire at the discovery,
which will soon be forced upon him in
spite of his stupidity, that his wife is
his superior. If he is of brutal nature,
he will endeavor to shelter his natural
inferiority behind his marital authority,
and taunt and torture the being who,
by right of mind, if not by law, is his
suzerain. If, on the contrary, he falls
helplessly into the position of depend
ent, and submits quietly to be guided
and governed by the stronger nature to
which he has allied himself, he will
simply be pitied and despised In
either case he will have cause to regret
that he married above his intellectual
degree; and the lady, that she stopped
to conquer.-N. Y. Ledger.
English Women In Government Employ.
The employment of women in English
government offices is steadily progress
ing. The post office led the way, and
now the war Office is following suit. A
few weeks ago, says the Pail Mall Ca
zette, there were seventeen women
clerks in that department: now there
are twenty, and it is proposed to bring
the number up to forty. 1t is true that
the war Office officials have not hitherto
displayed very lively faith in the bus
mess capacities of the fair sex. AS yet
their female clerks are only employed
in typewriting, light mechanical
kind of work for which it must cer-
tainly be admitted women are peculiarly
adapted The official mind moves
slowly; but that it should move at all,
and that in the right direction, is emf
nently encouraging. There is every
reason to hope that the movement to
which the strikes and rumors of strikes
among men has given such an impetus
will extend to all the government de-
partments, and that before long the
civil service will offer free and open
career to the intelligence of women.
