What Was Needed to Make Her Happy.

A few days 20 a prominent New York
Clergyman who is noted for his benevo-
lence, received a letter from a woman ask
ing for $1,000. This was her plea: She had
a friend, she said, who was married about
the same time as herself. They had mar
lied men of about the same social standing,
and could afford to have about the same
things. Lately, however, the friends hus-
band had been more prosperous than her
own. and matters had now come to such a
pass that her friend mad been able to buy a
new inlaid upright piano, "while,' she
wrote pathetically, Il am obliged to wear
life out with the old square piano that my
father gave mo when | was married. Now,
once see the sadness of this and send me n
check for $1,000, which will be sufficient, |
think. to get an upright a little better than
hers"

Sho Tried to Pnt Her Husband I'm IN Insane
ASYLUM. But Failed.
Tho Nicstnik of Riga reports that
carly in Juno there arrived in Riga DR..
L., with his wife. from St Petersburg.
Tho doctor vas OF feeble health, and by
the advice Of his vito intended to spend
tho summer in Marionhoircr, IN Du-
belna. The pair stopped at hotel in
Riga. Mrs. L., who has an old widowed
sister in that city, very often absontod
herself from the hotol. Every now and
then Sho tried>to draw the hotel waiter
into her confidence, and to persuade
him TO testify that her husband was
noisy, and that he treated her badly.
But the waiter would not, since he had
never noticed such department on tho
part Of the doctor One day sho camo
in carriage to the hotel accompanied
by stranger, whom she introduced TO
her husband as an old friend, who
would take them for drive in
tho suburbs The doctor refused
to take drive. Tho stranger
made sign in the window, and two
strong mon appeared, who wanted to
take him forcibly to tho carriage. AT
the hotel came in with two OF his clerks.
The stranger told him that he was tho
uporintcndent OF an insane asylum,
and that he had come to take tho de-
mentcd doctor into custody. But he was
not allowed TO do this. Notice was sent
to tho police headquarters. captain
and two men soon appeared, and instead
OF the poor doctor his scheming vito
and the superintendent of the insane
asylum were arrested. On examination
it was found that the doctor was per-
fectly sane, and that his wife and sister
in-law were planning to put him in an
insane asylum with a view OF getting
possession of his property. Tho most
curious feature OF the story is that tho
wife OF tho doctor is an elderly woman.
and had lived with her husband over
forty years, and had always been treated
with great consideration. Even now
the doctor refuses to prosecute her, and
for her sake he refused TO make a COM
plant against her accomplicc, the su-
perintcndcnt of the asylum.

sides the amount OF increase in the per-
manent assets. Given o plant of about
$4,000 and two employees, man and
wife, it has taken therefore about SlO,-
600 to each man produced. This of
course includes all employees expenses.
Tho plant is slightly enhanced in value,
but the employees have seen their best
days. The quality OF the goods Is yet
to be demonstrated. Prospects happily
point to cessation OF labor and an in
crease of receipts, but there is no Ger
tainty about this. The employees arc
proud OF their work, but don't want an
other job.
Some Of the items OF expense havo
been these: Doctors bills CT ycars,,

proaches it-thc high price OF chill
dren's shoes. mover could understand
how, with al tho civilization of tho
age. and the demand for cheaper re-
suits, children'S shoes hayo not been
reduced in price. Tho human shoe is u
