by the pole Of carriage. In moment a
crowd had collected, but the first upon the
spot was II little crossing sweeper, ragged
and dirty, who had seen the danger and
had sprung to help the child, almost be-

carefully the street boy raised the rich

much hurt as might have been expected

paid his fare and told the conductor where
to stop. As the omnibus rolled away and
the crossing sweeper turned back to his
work, a gentleman who had been looking
on spoke to him, Offering him six cents.
"Hcre, my boy said he, YOU can't af-

give it back to you.'
The crossing sweeper put his hand be

Run by One Woman.

One of the most nourishing exchanges
for woman's work is established in an in
land city, and is in many ways unique.
The enterprise is owned and controlled by
one woman, without the usual committees
and board of managers. No fee is re-
0uired of those entering their work, except
the usual 10 per cent. on sales, nor are
there many rules and regulations. One
question always asked of intending de
positors is, "Do you need the proceeds of
this work." The exchange counts over
five hundred depositors, and work is sent
from nearly every state in the Union.
Among. the articles not usually kept at
exchanges are toilet articles of all kinds,
cemcnts, japanese jelly for cleaning
woolens, velvet and plush, and linen
fringe brushes. In the infants depart
mcnt are "Jedcdiahs," and in the cake
list two sweets, new to me, called "yule
babies" which are sold by the dozen, and
"pcach blossom which is sold by the
pound. Fifteen per cent. is charged on
the price received on ordered work.
If unsold at the end of one year, goods
must be withdrawn, in which case one
half the 10 per cent paid OF their entrance
is refunded. If rp-cntcred, one-half Of
the paid per cent. otherwise returned may
be applied toward the new entrance fee
Only those not engaged in business can be
come bcnenciarics Of the exchange and oil
work received must be approved by the
manager All kinds Of work is done by
specialists, from weaving rag rugs to
cleaning and repairing laces.' Menu cards

Quiet Service.

The keeper Of first class private board
ing house in one of our great cities recently
gave this reason for discharging waitress:
"She was neat, prcpossessing and honest"
said this very efficient woman, "but after
laboring with her for n whole month to inn
press upon her mind that the people in my
house must not be subjected to the crash
ing and banging of china and glass, which
she would not take the trouble to handle
noisclessly, | had to discharge her"
This lady had learned the important les
son that, though gentle tinkle Of dishes
is grateful to the ear of n hungry man,
when this tinkle is carried beyond the
point of absolute necessity it becomes an
offense. 1t is mark of vulgarity, and
forms n sufficient excuse for leaving an
otherwise satisfactory boarding place. The

That sapphircs and rubies were there has
been known for twenty years or more some
miners having kept the finer specimens
and others having thrown them out of

weight as pebbles of no value. The truth,
ns get it from experts, is that these stones
are true rubies and sapphircs, and the only
opportunity they afford for criticism lies
in the fact that very nearly all of them are
much lighter in color than the Asiatic
gems of the same sort.
In other words, pigeons blood rubies and
sapphire blue sapphires are found there,
but not often. And yet these stones of the
lighter shades are Of far greater brilliancy
than the AsiatiG gems that fashion has APP

that of the diamond their luster must

The lace Of Venice, like her glass and
mosaics, is a traditional monument to her
Bucicnt industriu. greatness. Venice is
the earliest home of lace, and from her
hands it was introduced into other cOun-
tries. The first lace was made lay nuns
within the walls of converts for ecccsia--
teal garments. With the fall Of the
Venetian republic the converts were
closed and this graceful industry was lost
for an entire century.
In 1870 the Princess Margherita now
queen Of Italy, determined to revive the
art and provide employment for Venetian
women struggling in the throes of pov-
erty. 70 her is due the credit of the origin
and endowment Of the existing schools

government and are under the direct con
