sixteen year-old, doubtless sharing nall

AWAY there in the corner is small table,
and seated at 1t a slender figure In rusty
black. She Is alone. TWO shabbliy clau
girls who Just came in hesitated about taking
the two chairs, just vacated in front of her,
but suddenly turned away and seated them
selves at another table, their backs to her.
One would hardly have looked TO them for
such delicate consideration for the slowly
dropping tears that the poor child seems
unable to restrain. Furtively she wipes
them away and nib5les neglectfully at the
bread and butter on her plate. Tho dark
eyes fill again and the tears splash heavily
into the black-looking tea in the thick cup.
Would one might hope there, were no more
All! look yonder, in the large room.
There come trooping five small boys. The
eldest not over 8 it would appear. Four of
them seat themselves at the sides OF the

These luxuries may be- obtained at a cost, TO
each, OF cents. Another glass is ordered
and brought empty by the cOmprehending
waiter. From each of the four full glasses
portion of milk is poured, till the fifth
glass is full. Each one of the four cuts one
doughnut in half and lays it before the wee
chap, who is now really the best supplied OF
all. So they feast and file out. presently,
laying down four nickels, and each helping
himself to wood toothpck and strutting
out with the air of very epicure
The world was theirs to the extent of four
nickels, and they laid those out for the

chilly it wont be "the kid" A.E. X.

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE.
The Value OF 1t to Women in Every
Walk of Life.

The Value OF 1t to Women in Every
Walk OF Life.
A contributor to "Woman's Kingdom" in
the Chicago Inter Ocean, in an article on
Practical knowledge for Women" says:
There is one thing. then. to be dOne-let
every young woman, as we'll as every young
man, learn to do thoroughly we'll some one
thing that could and would be means Of
earning an honest livelihood should the
necessity arise.
Cooking is comparatively an uudeveloped
field. 1t is a science becoming more and
more understood and valued in science, like
chemistry, and intimately related to life and
the well-beiDg of brain and body. Cooking
schools are of comparatively recent origin !;
they have done great deal TO revoluti0nlze
public opinion and correct the belief that
the food that comes on the table can be pre-
pared by any semi-intelligent foreign
woman who takes charge of the kitchen. A
model kitchen is to be one feature of the
woman's building at the Worlds Fair.
Here there will be lectures and demonstra-
tions upon cookery in its most practical as
well as its more complicated forms. 1t shows
that the trained cook Of the future will not
be considered Of slight consequence, and that
her labors will not be adequately rewarded.
There Is in Chicago to-day a woman of
much culture. She had been the daughter
of wealthy parents and the wife Of a
wealthy husband. The fortune was swept
away aud she began to teach painting, earn
ing a precariOus living for herself and
family. She became discouraged. but re-
membered that she had had great natural
skill as cook. She began to make jeIies
and preserves, and finally made a reputa-
tion for delicate little chicken pies which
she furnished daily TO woman's restaurant.
From this SMALL beginning she extended her
business. She secured contract to do all
the catering for another frSt-clasS restau-
rant, and finally set uD in business for her
self, succeeding from the very start.
Not long ago the writer happened to be
lunchng late in the afternoon in the place
where she is employed rs caterer. There
was no one else at the table and the wait
ers were sitting on the side of the room
waiting orders.
A lady came in quietly but elegantly
dreSSeds she .9layed iabbqHt pthg, CHINA aud
silver. She went behind the screen where
orders were filled, peeped into the teapots,
lifted the lids of the sugar bowls, said few
words in an undertone to the head walter
and then went away. 1t was the woman
who had failed in teaching painting, but
who earned handsome salary in what
might be called the commonplace occupa-
ton of cooking. The lesson was worth
needing. However hard and sordid it may
seem, the world will pay we'll for what 1t
wants and needs, and nothing at all Tor
what it does not want.

Elevated Railroad Bonanza.

IL railroads are expensive to build in New
York city they are also profitable, as the
reports of the elevated railroads show.
The gross earnings of these roa dis the first
year they were operated in New York
were about S3,500,o00, and this annual
income has steadily increased until it is
now approaching $4,000, 900, the earnings
for the year ending June 80 last being but
$4,000 short of this amount. The
gross income Of these roads since 1879 is
S92, 167, 434, almost as large a sum as Mr..
Gould has been able to sequester in the
course of q lifetime of toll and saving. In
this time the number of passengers carried
has been 1,56S, 652, 9l3, each one passing the
shining nickel except the deadheads, of
whom there are several. 1 presume these
figures are correct as they have been
furnished by MIR. Gould himself or
at least by Colonel Hahn, who repre-
sents him in bis elevated octopus bust
ness. And speaking of Colonel Hahn.

that there Is no man in this city who bears
enormous responsibility so graciously. He
has upon his shoulders the Transportation
of a half million people day. Natu1 all v
the oversight OF all the trains incident to
this enormous traffic carries strain with
1T; but when meet Col. Hahn in the Aston
house occasionally he is as bright eyed
clipper and as good natured as school bow.
He loves good stories. He is small, wiry
man, not quite 80 yet-his hair is Just be.
ginning to tinge with gray-and when he
talks he talks TO the point He speaks in a
quick, decisive way, and with firmness
which denotes the man of executive ability.
He was developed as railroad man in
PENNSYLVANIA. He was brought up in the
ola Dutch town of Reading, and he still
loves its sausage and scrapple Coloue eli
Hahn is proud of the fact that while the
IL roads under his management have car
ried millions of passengers not life has
been lost or human being injured as the
result of negligence upon the part of the
corporation.
