From washtub to Throttle.

A curious case is that of an American
girl who has been serving as engineer in
big laundry not far from the corner of
Wells street and Lincoln avenue. This
girl began work in laundry, and while
thus employed often watched the engi-
neer at work, now and then asking for
a bit of information about ''firing up"
"stoking," banking" the boiler, the
gauge, etc. One day the regular engi-
neer went off, and his place could not
be filed right off. So this girl, then
about eighteen, offered to supply his
place temporarily until another suitable
person could be engaged. She did the
duties of an engineer and fireman so ad-
mirably and showed such unmistakable
aptitude for the work that the owner of
the laundry-himself liberal, broad
minded American-told the girl she
could have the job permanently at the
old engineers wages of seventy-five dol
lars per month, if she cared to have it.
She said yes, and "manfully" stood to
her post. In the evening, at her board
ing house few blocks away, she looked
as neat and as ladylike as any of them
and she played her game of progressive
euchre with the same zest and danced
at parties with the same vim and grace
as the other girls, just as if she were no
monstrosity in the eyes of the world.
But some envious persons-not of her
own sex, in fact, the male engineers
would not let her hold her place peace
ably. They made formal complaint to
the city authorities, and Miss - was
hauled up and fined, the fine being staid
on her promise to take out regular en-
gineer's license. This she did, passing
her public examination with honors,
since which she has been employed in
the same capacity without let or him
drance, and has become a member of
the regular engineers trade organiza-
ton, paying her way like little man.

A New Table Drink.

Coffee-tea, beverage made from the
leaves of the coffee shrub, is a new can
didate for popular favor, and would
seem to have some advantages over the
berry. 1t has not yet reached this coun-
try, save as chance curiosity, but was
recently brought under the notice of the
Royal Botanic society, of London. The
samples of coffee-tea. or prepared coffee
leaves, were grown in the society's con-
servatory. The secretary said it had
been estimated that the percentage of
theme in the leaves of coffee was 1926 as
against 100 in the beans.
AS the leaves may be easily grown in
many parts OF the world where 1t is diff
fcult to insure good crops of coffee
beans, he thought it might prove a
valuable agricultural product in many
warm colonies. At present, he said,
only some 100000 of men use coffee
tea in comparison with 110,000,000 who
use the bean and 500, 200, 900 who drink
Chinese and Indian tea.-Good House

Sympathy for Mrs. Osborne.

Many women have discussed the stu
alton of the unfortunate Englishwoman,
Mrs. Osborne, and none express any
thing but pity. Her treatment by the
authorities after Mrs. Hargreaves had re-
fused to prosecute is enough to convince
one that the circumlocution Office de-
scribed by Dickens has not been abol-
ished. Said lawyers wife at tea the
other afternoon:
"My husband does not understand how
such a condition of affairs can exist.
Mrs. Osborne, it is true, stole the jewels
and committed perjury to escape detec-
tion. The property was recovered and
all bills paid. The friend whose dia-
monds she took forgave her, her hus-
band forgave her, and | think the re-
cording angel drew his wing across the
page and erased the transgression. Not
SO with gown, wig and tipstaff. She
was arrested and confined in Jail and ar
raigned like an ordinary felon. My hus-
band says that in this country and in
the chivalric state of New York, Mrs.
Osborne would have been very differ
emily treated. With sympathetic pub
lie and compassionate complainant her
arraignment would be in private and
bail would be readily furnished so that
it would not be necessary for her to
step inside Jail. What is there, he
says, about the crimes of perjury and
larceny that bail cannot be furnished in
England? Was Mrs. Osborne in her con-
dition sent to a prison because of her in
ability to obtain bail, or are the crimes
of perjury and larceny not bailable in
England?"

touching scene where Mrs. Osborne was
placed in the dock and sobbed like a
