New Employment for Women.

Experts from the agricultural depart
ment recently established in Boston sta
tion for the inspection of meat to be ship
ped abroad, This completes the number
of such stations provided for by the meat
inspection bill passed at the last session of
congress. The other stations are at South
Omaha, Kansas City, Milwaukee and Chi
cago. The establishment Of these stations
opens up another branch of employment for
young women.
1t has been found that they are better
fitted for the work of inspection than men.
This WIS developed at Chicago, where the
first station was established. At first six
teen young men and sixteen young women
were employed. The women outstripped
the men from the start. Now nearly all of
the employees at the various stations are
young women. They excel men in that
they are more careful, apter to learn and
are more quick and deft in handling the
microscopes They also seem to be quicker
in the eye than men when looking through
those instruments.
The work is clean and they take much
interest in it. If there is trichina in an ami
NAL it will be evidenced by the condition
Of the tenderloin and the diaphragm. Sec
tions of those portions of the animal are
given to the inspectors. They, after using
their microscopes, pronounce whether or
not the animal was healthy. = Chicago

Ezekiel Eads, who died in Greene county,
New York, in the spring Of 1885, was sure
ly a fit subject for dime museum, even
though he never descended to that level
Strictly speaking, Eads was in several re-
spects most remarkable creature. He
was born without ears, not even having
apertures where his ears should have been.
His deformity sad as it was, may be said
to have been partly alleviated by the curl
GUS construction of the inner portion of his
head, which enabled him to hear common
conversation through his mouth.
When addressed he would instantly open
his mouth and readily give answers to in
terrogations put to him in an ordinary tone
of voice But Ezekiel's lack OF ears was
not his only distinction. He had heavy
crop of black hair spotted with white, the
spots themselves being in the exact shape
of human ears, feet, hands, etc. When he
was quite small baby it was noticed that
his black hair was interspersed with oddly
shaped spots of white, which, however, did
not take on their distinctive shapes until
after he had passed his fifteenth year
When Mr.. Eads died he left one son, aged
forty-five, whose hair was as black as coal,
not a single gray hair being discernible,
and another son, thirteen years of age,
whose hair was as gray as that of man Of
seventy. Wheeling (W. Va) Register.

Archbishop Ryan was dining with
George w. Childs the other day, " remarked
Philadelphia gentleman, "and the usual
Philadelphia dinner party was present
Wayne MacVeagh and the rest. The ex-at
torney general sat next to the archbishop
During the evening the subject of railway
passes was brought up, very naturally
when the archbishop said that he had
never travelled on railroad pass in all his
life and had never been offered one Oh
course this singular statement attracted
the attention of Colonel Mcclure, Clayton
McMichael, Wayne MacVeagh and the rest
and caused general smile of wonderment
why, my dear archbishop, said Mac
Veagh, you have missed one of the real
pleasures Of life, as she is known in Phila-
delphia.'
""The sensation Of travelling on pass
would certainly be new to me- said his
grace.
I'm have to see Mr.. George W. Boyd
of the Pennsylvania road, about this said
MacVeagh, and use my influence toward
having this oversight corrected
Really replied the archbishop, 2
"'Oh. that's all right, interrupted Mac
Veagh You can use your influence to gel
me pass over the road you are supposed
to control in a measure
"'Ah, my dear SIR retorted his rever
ence with mock lugubrious look, I have

Among the Kaffirs, and in the west oi
Africa as well, plain ivory arm ring, in q
single piece, is in common use. Such art
easily made. The tusk of the elephant is
hollow save near the small end. Toward
the larger end the ivory sheath is thin and
irregular, but it thickens and becomes
solid toward the tip ALI that is necessary
to make arm bands is to remove the soft
vascular inner part and then to cut the
ivory into cross sections, two or three inches
wide. The rings thus made vary, of course
In size. After being cut they are carefully
polished.
With such rings the whole arm from
wrist to elbow is often covered Schwein
furth describes pretty ornament of meta
rings-the dagobar-as in use among White
Nile tribes. The individual rings are ol
iron, and are narrow and neatly made
They are worn so closely together upon the
arm as to make continuous metal sheath
ing. Very curious are the arm coils from
Bouka Bay, New Guinea, which consist Of
one spiral strip of bark.
Earrings are found in all times anC

Care of Dresses.

It is better to hang than to fold almost
all dresses that are not wash dresses, if one
has sufficient room, but if the room is lin.
tied and the dresses crowded when hung,
then they should be folded as anything is
better than the ''stringy" look which
dresses crowded together in a small closet
or wardrobe soon acquire. II dress OF
woolen material has any drapery, it will
be found to keep it's freshness much longer
if the skirt is always bottom upward.
With little practice and care this will
be easily done and the creases prevented
which come so quickly even in the best of
materials from the folds hanging always
the same way. both when in wear and when
not
Never sit in damp dress If 1t can be
avoided, for nothing so successfully creases
it. 1t should at once be taken off and hung
in good position to dry. Careful atten-
tion should always be paid to dress braids
and facings If a braid is replaced as soon
as it commences to wear the facing will in
many instances be saved
A dress braid should always be put on
by hand, and in most instances ''rolled ON. -
If sewn on by machine more time is con-
sumed in ripping it off when it requires re-
placing than in both sewing on and rip
ping off a braid sewn on by hand. II one
has to be much in the kitchen, woolen
dresses should not be worn there. They
hold tie odors and smoke and soon become
grimy and shabby.-Housekeeper.

Considered His Youth.

Sir John Macdonald, who was premier
of Canada nearly all his political lifetime,
was noted for his art of saying things that
"tickled the town" No matter where he
went, no matter how short the time that
he staid, he made on some matter of cur
rent gossip some genial joke that travelled
from lip to lip after he was gone.
In Toronto some years ago, hale, rich
and merry old gentleman of eighty, long
an acquaintance of Sir John, became en-
gagged to very wealthy lady few years
his junior.
When the news ''got round" the town
talked of little else for q week. During
this time Sir John arrived. Going to his
political headquarters at the Albany club,
he found the newly engaged octogenarian
there facing the music"

affectionately laying his hand on the 9th

and with slight sigh, "Well, well. boys

In the case against one Matthieson for ma

the herds from the round up The court,
Judge II. 6. Fuller, supported the demur
rer on the ground Of the want of jurisdic

He cited that in territorial days Hughes

Of the constitution under statehood Hughes
county became a part of the sixth judicial
circuit, and Nowlin a part Of the seventh

that it has not been attached to any county

no legal resting place, either in the state OF

At Szanad, in Hungary, lives a poor
peasant farmer named Pero Bait. The de-
struction Of his crops and loss of cattle had
plunged him into difficulties. One sleep
less night he conceived novel idea, and
rose early the next morning and carried it
out. The idea took the form of the follow
ing epistle;
To the Most Honorable and Well Born Herr
King:
My COW is dead--with great respect submit
this-and my noble farm produce has been
struck down with hailstones. The wicked
"man in possession" plaques me sorely, though
he is my brother-in-law's godfather. There is
no living soul in Szanad who can lend me o
kreuzer, because no one in Szanad has kreu-
ger. If my lord would lend me couple of gull
den--for which he has no immediate need-I
would pay him back with interest when my
next years kukuruz crop (maize) is sold. l
trust that good health may wait upon my good
king and his exalted house, and also his dear
family. Oh, that could kiss the pretty hands
of our high born lady queenl All happiness to
your kings majesty. Truly yours,
PERo BAm.
This letter was duly dispatched and a
messenger was sent to ascertain the truth
of BATHS statement This proving correct,

which the emperor was mot in immediate
need Off were placed at Pero BATHS dis

An Original idea.

Rather novel idea was that carried into
effect at recent wedding. This was to
utilize the laundry in thes front basement
as an addition to the suite of rooms thrown
open The billiard room was below stairs,
and to reach it the laundry door must be
passed So the door had to be closed or the
room transformed The latter was done.
A rug was stretched on the floor, the
windows filed with flowers and greens,
the tubs banked and wholly concealed with
potted plants and trailing moss, the range
recess filled in with growing palms, rub
Der trees stood in corners and the place
made bower of vernal beauty, with every
suspicion of its hamely use obliterated.-

Every Girl should Learn ..Housework.

Every Girl Should Learn "HOusework.' -
During a discussion of education for
women, Marion Harland Is reported to
have delivered the following trite remarks:
"No American girl can afford to be igno-
rant of the humblest details of what is pop
ularly known as housework, otherwise she
is at the mercy Of her servants. It may
sound like bald realism to say that
conjugal devotion depends largely upon
how the family steak and potatoes
are cooked and served. But when we
consider the intimate relations Of body
and mind, the theometric influence Of the
digestive organs upon the spirits, the real
ism rises into the dignity Of a moral axiom.
Shall we not concede an honorable place to
that training that instills punctuality,
thrift and helpfulness that makes girl
robust in body and in mind; that fits her
to fill with honor the place Of housewife
and homemaker, and to set upon her sons
and daughters the imprint Of noble and
beneficent personalityH

The old shepherds with plaid and crook

fields and prairie, about forty-five million
sheep-and all their keepers ought to fol

Washington from the fields. Jefferson

overfiowing populations of our crowded
cities will have to take to the fields.
Instead OF ten merchants in rivalry as to
who shall sell that one apple we want at
