A Comedians Wife.

Mrs. Francis Wilson is as little known
to the outside world as though she were
the wife of some modest clerk instead of
the companion of one of our best known
comedians. Retiring and modest in dis
position, she has ever been more of a
home body than most women of the
stage, though her husband met and mar
ried her when they were both together
in a company playing "The COLLINS. y
1t was in this play that Francis Wilson
first made his debut after he decided to
leave the song and dance partnership
and enter upon the legitimate field of
acting. By means of the help and fru-
gality of his wife he was soon enabled
to buy the play, and together they took
it on the road. So well have they sue
ceeded, he in his line and she in the
more quiet pursuits of home life, having
left the stage many years ago, that they
have in New Rochelle a lovely villa
costing $4,000, which is fitted up with
every known convenience, including a
complete little theater
Mrs. Wilson is young, plump and
pretty. She adores her husband, dresses
well and is a most charming hostess.
Her two small daughters are pocket
editions of their father and simply revel
in his antics on and off the stage, though
it is only to them he reveals his humor.

WILD FLOWERS.

love the flowers for their beauty.
And for the One who gave them birth;
They ever lead by paths of duty,
These angels of the earthl
Down through the wooded mountain passes,
These angels stream in gorgeous clothes;
And in the meadows, mid the grasses,
Their lovely forms repose.
BY Drinks of pools, in sedgy places,
Mid wild and trackless woods they grow;
While near the streams their pleasant faces
CLEAN on the tides below.
Wild fiow'rets in the sunlight shining.
Half open buds and glossy leaves,
Which, trembling, show their silver Innings,
We find among the sheaves.
Spring cannot claim all kinds of flowers,
Nor Summer wear all at her breast;
For Autumn flies to Rhea's bowers,
And begs fowery crest.
We scan for tokens of Gods kindness
The vast cathedral heights = owe;
Now see, because of sin-maC - .indness,
In flowers signs of His love.
Within my heart would that flowers
Fair as earth's fairest ones might grow;
For thoughts, if blossoms, would thrive or
showers
OF joy and love, know!
think all flowers are but DISCUSSES
OF spirits from the realms above,
For they whisper, when the wind surprises,
Sweet words of joy aud Lowell
Flowers, like to angels, tNSe departure!
They come to us with noiseless tread;
They breathe of Heaven and less of nature,
They guard the living and the dead.
Oh, cherish e'er the fair wild flowers,
That beauteous sisterhood
And strive with all God given powers.
To be as pure and goodl

Lectures on Shopping.

A new avenue of labor is now open to
women 1t is a common sense vocation
too. A clever western woman arrived
in New York few weeks ago and star
tied the community by an announcement
of Lectures on Shopping" to be de-
ivered by herself at one of the big
amusement halls. At first the idea was
laughed at, but nevertheless tickets were
sold plentifully and now the lecturer has
been engaged throughout different parts
of the city in private houses and public
halls to deliver a series of lectures upon
the same subject. There reallyis neces-
sity for women to be lectured on the art
of shopping. The large stores having
instituted the bargain plan, palming off
oceans of cheap, shopworn material on
innocent money spenders, and any indi-
vidual who can teach women how to
purchase silks, satins. household belong
ings and children's wearing apparel, so
that the purchaser will not be cheated,
should be supported handsomely.-Phila-
