About xix mouths ago an Indian
named O-we-o, of the Umatilla reserva-
ton in Oregon, WAS killed by railroad
train. Some time previous to his death
he had borrowed twenty dollars from a
bank in Pendleton, giving his note Sc
cured by the name of another Indian,
She-wa-wa. O-we-o's wife, Lucy, skinned
dead sheep found on the ranges during
the winter and spring and hustled hard
in other ways until she had scraped to-
gether about twenty-five dollars. Last
week she went to the bank and paid her
husbands note, and also insisted on pay
ing the interest TO the astounded cashier.
The bank refused TO accept the interest.

A New Occupation for WON en-.

1t is becoming the custom in all retail
dry goods establishments to employ a
person whose solo business is to write
the advertisements used day by day,
also to get up all pamphlets, circulars,
posters, catalogues, in fact, TO see to all
the advertisement matter used by the
house. In the few cases known TO the
writer where women have filed this i'm
portant place they have been eminently
successful. 1t is work peculiarly fitted
to women, for if there is one thing in
this world that womankind agree in
loving it certainly is dry goods, and it is
second nature to talk about them. And
writing dry goods advertisements is
simply talking about dry goods.
OF course the writer must know what
to say, how TO say it, and above all
when enough has been said; must be
able to say much in a few words and
make those words "telling;" must exert
her power Of ingenuity to put her an
nouncements in attractive forms that
will catch the eyes of the readers as
they glance over the paper. The chief
object Of the advertisement is to place
the business written of before the reader
in the best possik Q light. All this comes
with very httle experience, little
study of the matter. Some familiarity
of the routine will soon put one entirely
at ease.-Virginia Frazee in Ladies'
Home Journal.

The Scientists Debt to Franklin.

Benjamin Franklin was one Of the
most earnest and tireless of scientists.
His discoveries are classed among the
most remarkable of the age. They were
as extensive and brilliant as they were
deep and mysterious. He outran the
most celebrated English electricians in
the race for new discoveries. He gave
form and dignity to the science Of cleo
tricity, and raised the science to high
rank among the most useful and distin-
guished, and also gave it philosophic
standing second to none of the discover
les of the Eighteenth century. To Ben
jamin Franklin are due many of the
most useful discoveries in electricity.
His clear eyes of prophecy saw the glo-
rious triumph of his favorite science,
and somewhere he may be watching the
grand Examinations resulting from his
successful efforts in bottling a flash of
lightning. he was this first man to
succeed in imprisoning the mysterious
currents of electricity.-NewY York Tel

What New York Society Costs.

Speaking Of the late William Astor's
provision for his wife in the will recently
filed for probate, a millionaire Wall
street man. who is member of the
Four Hundred, says: Fifty thousand
dollars a year, though accompanied
with the use, free from rent, taxes and
other charges, Of the house in the city
and the Newport mansion is wholly in
adequate provision for a woman of Mrs.
Astcr's standing in society. She has, Of
course, her marriage portion in addition,
but even with this cannot see how she
will be able to maintain two great estab-
lishlnents and entertain in the manner
in which, during Mr.. Astor's life, she
was accustomed to do as the leader of
New York society. know that it costs
me a great deal more than $780, 900 year
to maintain my household. The cost Of
entertaining in New York society is
growing every year. A single ball costs
thousands Of dollars. A small fortune
may be expended on single dinner
party. should not be surprised if Mrs.
Aston should live a good deal abroad,
where her income would count far more

Nervous Exhaustion.

The ultimate nutrients of the body,
whether of the muscles, membranes,
nerve or cerebral substances. are the
cells. These cells select the appropriate
nourishment from the blood, assimilate
isEnd throw off the debris-the poison
GUS waste, always fatal if unduly re-
tanned.
No other organ is so constantly in &C
ton as the nervous system. 1t is never
fully at rest, day or night. The cells of
every tissue must be kept necessarily at
work. Every thought, feeling, purpose,
volitien, every excitement of pleasure,
pain or passion, all concentration of
mind in study, business or care, uses up
brain substance and transforms it into
waste product.
In normal mental action this waste is
taken care of and duly eliminated; but
in prolonged excessive mental activity
the waste accumulates, and, according
to DIR. Cowles, acts as a poison to the
nerves themselves, interfering with their
normal action.
An early result is simple fatigue of
the brain, which rest may soon relieve;
at a later stage, the overactivity being
longer continued, there is excessive irri-
liability and weakness of the nervous
system. The tendency is always toward
grave mental disease, often merging
into insanity.
Among the physical signs are tremoi
of the face, tongue and hands; but the
earliest and most important signs are
mental symptoms-melancholy and men,
tai depression. The disease, to be easily
arrested, should be treated early

Fashionable Footwear.

Shoes and stockings must match this
year. Black stockings are of course
always in good taste, but even dressers
who are not extreme carry their tan and
gray suede low shoes with them when
they go to buy stockings. There are a
great variety of shades in browns and
tans. in silk, fine cotton and Isle, so that
every imaginable color in shoes may be
matched. The insteps and ankles are
embroidered in stripes and small figures,
and among these bowknots are popular.
Prussian blue stockings, in three or four
tones, are also to be had with shoes and
slippers to match, and they do not, after
the first glance, look any more pro-
nounced than tans.
Red-brick reds favorite color,
and the shoes to go with the set are
either plain and unrelieved or done with
foxing and heels of black patent
leather. OF course gray and tan are the
only colors that can be worn in town.
The country or seashore permit of any
hue desired, and the more bizarre the
better. Either they match the prevail
ing tint of the costume or they contrast
strongly. Sometimes the gloves, shoes
and stockings are alike and of differ
ent color from the rest of the costume.
This is thought very effective.-St. Louis
Republic.

New York's Best Known widow.

Probably the most interesting and
best known widow in this city is Mrs.
Hicks-Lord, whose fame extends over
the sea and across other continents. Her
wealth, her gowns, her diamonds and
her marriages have long been discussed,
and the history of her life reads like a
romance. Her second marriage, when
as the Widow Hicks she was welded to
old Mr.. Lord, caused no end Of talk, and
gave the newspapers at the time a
chance to publish column after column.
Mr.. Lord was very old and very rich,
and his family did not like the idea OF
having any portion Of his immense es-
tate go out of their hands. She lives
royalty and spends money in the same
manner. Until a few years ago she en-
tertained lavishly. Mrs. Hicks-Lord has
one of the finest collections Of jewels in
this country, her famous "stomacher"
of diamonds being one of the most valu-
able in the world. II is worth thousands
of dollars. Mrs. Hicks-Lord's present
home on Washington square, East, was
once the home of the late General
George B. Mcclellan, and is one of the
many fine old mansions in that aristo-
cratic neighborhood.-New York Press.

Tho Summer Corset.

The seasons corset is an emancipation
from an annoyance at least. Many a
woman has been prevented from in
dulging her fancy in the freshness and
daintiness of wash gowns because con-
scious that those materials are too thin
to hide the outline of the corset across
the back from shoulder TO shoulder.
This year we have a low cut corset,
scarce fitting up on to the bust and
equally low behind. Then we have a
guimpe of stout coutille fitted snugly
over the shoulders and over the bust and
coming down an inch below the top of
the corset. This is laced in front, and
is boned at the back, down the front,
and very thin bone curved over the
bust exactly as the French decollete cor
sage of a ball gown is boned.
The result? No corset line across the
back, no sticking Of thin cotton mate
rails to moist shoulders, and no frown Of
anxiety lest one is not presenting an al
together satisfactory "back view" How
trim woman ought to look in her snug
bodice these first warm days when she
appears without a winter wrap!-Chi-

public library. This position is one of
great responsibility. The institution is

WOMAN'S WORLD.
AGlTATING REFORMS IN HONEYMOON
CUSTOMS IN ENGLAND.

The Franchise for Englishwomen--A New
Occupation for women-On the Wheel.
Fashionable Footwear-Items of Inter
est for the Fair.
The question of reform in the wedding
journey is now being agitated by lead
ers of English society. They maintain
that much time and money are thrown
away needlessly on this ideal trip, and
that not only is there no adequate COM
pensation for this loss, but that frequent
ly the honeymoon is thereby robbed of
its blissful serenity.
A dozen letters have appeared this
week in London daily suggesting that
the honeymoon should be curtailed and
simplihed. One humorous writer, who
dates his letter from Grosvenor square,
the most fashionable part of London,
declares emphatically that the newly
married husband tires Of the honeymoon.
He may get very tired of it, or only Just
a little, but he tires of it. He may idol
ize, adore, love or merely like his young
wife, but by whichever graduation of
sentiment he is attached to her he still
tires of the honeymoon. Sometimes,
indeed, it is added, the more he loves his
spouse the more the wedding journey
annoys him.
The period of betrothal is an irritating
and annoying one for the man. The
wedding preparations, so highly appre-
ciated by the bride, are a source of con-
tinual worry for the bridegroom. From
the discussion over the brides dress to
the gifts. from the social to the civil cere-
monies, everything represents minute
and assiduous labor; so much so, that
unless he is aided by immense love, great
longing or strong interest he could not
persevere in his task. Therefore the
bridegroom, when the wedding day ar
rives, is in a state of acute irritability
mo man can possibly be tranquil on this
day unless he is an imbecile), and the
departure for the honeymoon, always
harrassed by complications, delays and
confusion, only augments his annoyance.
According to another correspondent it
is next to impossible for things to go
smoothly and pleasantly during the
honeymoon. The young wife observes
her partner. If he is too free and easy
she thinks him cold toward her; if he is
humble In demeanor she gets too proud;
if he is disposed to give her a little
liberty, she is uneasy; if he is jealous,
she is unhappy. And the opportunities
for such observation and reflection occur
continually in the course of the honey
moon. -
1t is true that there is love to override
all these little disagreements. But alas!
alasl it is impossible to love deeply on
the wedding tour. And so both bride
and bridegroom are dissatisfied with the
journey, and both are glad to return
home.-London Cor. Chicago Herald.

On the Wheel.

The young woman who, looking for
ward to the long, delightful days of sum-
mer, has planned TO spend all her spare
hours in sunshine and the open air will
find her anticipations more than realized
if she stays her hopes ON the trusty wheel,
Down shady roads, by murmuring
streams whose depths Of green and brown
are splintered 90 thousand golden
CLEANS in the sunny shadows she flies

the leaves are turning the systematic

and vitality to lat well through the
trials of winter.
The question OF clothes, however,
pushes itself in here, rs usual, and much
of her enjoyment, not TO speak of her
good looks. will depend on her proper

suNDRY CIVIL BILL.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Owlng TO the

tatlng the almost constant attendance
upon Its sessions of members of the
appropriation committee, the sub
committee In charge OF the preparation

fore the last Of the political
week. This bill is one that ad-
mlts Of little variation in the totals,
except in the direction of increase.
1t represents the growth of the civil e.

tanning as it does, the provision for the
legislative. judicial and executive
branches. The bill for the year l89O-9l

mates for the approaching year in

bill reported to the house Will show =
reduction of several hundred thousand
dollars from the total bill for the cur
rent year. Some members of the CON-
mittee are Of the opinion that the ap-
propriatiOus for the civil establisn-
ment ought to show . decrease, for the
the reason that many of the bureaus
owe their existence to business con-
nected with the war, as these are dis
patched the necessary force might nat
urally be expected TO diminish. and IN
some cases tnls has actually occurred,
but the maintenance of presidential
election, in the language Of one of the
democrat members, will prevent any
considerable decrease IN the amount Of

committee on appropriations or a.
