"My sales for the week aggregate
$780," said sadfaced little woman, as
she stopped for moment in her work.
She is employed in ono OF the large dry
goods stores in town, and her hours are
from in the morning until in the
evening.
What is your weekly pay?" asked
the Tattler.
Eight dollars" she replied.
"What does it cost you for room and
board?"
-Four dollars week"
land l suppose you have to ride to
and from homer"
Eyes, SIR"
What does that cost you?"
"SixtY cents week"
"This, then leaves you $40 for all
your other expenses"
Eyes. Not large sum with which
to buy clothes and shoes, you will ad-
nit. You can imagine how much vlr-
tuous woman in my position can spend
for amusements and luxuries. and, with
a sigh that seemed to come from the ut
termost depths Of her heart, she added:
What do / know about the comforts OF
life? / am only plain little woman,
with an honest desire TO live I'm honest
] and respectable life, and that means a
life of want and darkness.

The new designs architects are get
ting up are indeed. in keeping with the
times. a book publisher in Chicago is
having a big building erected that will
resemble in shape book. The time
may come when if you wan design for
hog-rendering establishment, canned
meatery, a sausage factory, your archi-
tect will give you in stone, or brick, or
terra Gotta miracles OF pig pens, cans
and linked sweetness. The sausage
| building could be built to an altitude
! that designed the celebrated Tower OF
Babel Qimited) sick and sore. A tailor's
shop will be built after the manner OF
the goose, a manner which will require
much delicate calculation OF strains and
thrusts, and will, we are afraid, result
in rather squatty appearance after all.
| A dry goods store will be in the present
approved form OF an oblong or square
box. The cigar factory will give beau
tiful cloud-pushing effects. Private
houses will be built according TO the
professions of their occupants. For in
stance a physicians house will be pill
box, minister's a pulpit, and an edl-
tors pencil in bluestone.

Said a prominent physician the other
day: Some people think it strange
that so many injured persons brought to
the hospitals die Of delirium tremens.
The fact is, that people who drink large
quantities OF whisky can not stand
diseases nor injuries of any kind so well
as the temperate class. II a heavy
drinker is taken down sick the attend
ing physician, if he knows his business,
will guard against pneumonia. Such
persons are exceptionally prone to lung
trouble. When drinking man has his
leg broken, is shot or otherwise badly
wounded, his regular supply Of alcohol
| is shut off and there Is not so much fear
on account of the injury itself as there
is for his bad nervous state. Many poor
a drinker has died of delirum tremens in
this way"

The subject OF how best to protect
and propagate fish and game, and pro-
tect the forests of the State from de-
struction, was perhaps never before I'M
der more general discussion than it was
during the last session. Protection
means the increase of both game and
fish. consequently the cheapening Of
| both.
These products of nature were q gift
to all mankind, not to the few, and 1t
seems but right that united code OF
laws should be established which will
secure equal rights to all. The ruth
less denuding Of the forests and rapid
destruction of song birds are subjects Of
very wide and general interest; the pol
| luton Of lakes and streams and the will
| full introduction to such waters OF other
than native fishes, are also subjects
which need legislative correction. There
are numerous questions which are col
lateral to all of these, in which there is
also public interest.
