PunCtunliiY.

Some wiseacre defines punctuallty
as fifteen minutes beforehand. All
very well for those who can afford
to waste minutes so extravagantly,
and very well, too, if the party of
the second part is not a quarter of
an hour behindhand.
Women are stig1natized as the
greatest sinners against punctuality,
an accusation so unjust that it must
be met with the scornful silence
which it deserves. A beautiful leg
end is frequently alluded to in this
connection, as showing how the I'M
punctual habits Of one woman led
her husband to utilize the fragments
of time, which would otherwise have
been wasted, in the composition of a
learned and valuable treatise. That
poor, much maligned woman did
perhaps fail sometimes in her wifely
duty to be at the head of her table at
the exact hour of dinner.
But when she happened to be on
time and found that her lord and
master was engaged, and was further
pluming himself on taking advantage
of her hardness, she made point OF
giving him daily those precious mo
ments. For her husbands gratifica
ton she became punctually late, and
thus, with the self effacement of hel
sex, allowed herself to go down tc
later ages as a warning example

A Lunch Room for Women,

A new business venture for women
is the lunch OF tearoom, designed to
help working women obtain meals
reasonably. One has been started at
81 West Twenty-second street, New
York, and those who know the pow
erty of Brooklyn in this respect are
wishing that one could be started
here near the main shopping quarter
1t would be patronized by many
women, for in spite of the small cost
of the edibles everything is tasteful
and pretty in the one which has be-
come fact. Not only would it be a
kindness to the business woman, but
the shopper also would be glad of a
chance to eat sandwich and drink
a cup of coffee without being looked
at as if she were mean for not desir-
ing something more hearty.
Some of the items worth mention
ing are coffee or tea, three cents;
bread and butter, the same. A reg
ular lunch consisting of soup, meats,
potatoes, pudding or pie, coffee, tea
or cocoa, twenty cents; a bowl of
soup, with bread and butter, eight
cents, and a hot breakfast thirteen.

1t may aid our young artists to re-
member few simple rules for pro
portion while drawing the human
figure. Eight heads is the correct
height, according to the Greek
standards, for a full grown man OF
woman. A line drawn from thigh
to thigh marks the exact half of the
figure. When the arms are fully eX-
tended the distance from tip to tip of
the middle fingers ought to be the
exact height of a well proportional
person. The knees should be exactly
half way between the thigh line and
the bottom of the heel
Standing straight, the elbows
should just touch the hips; hand
should be the length of chin level to
the hair. A foot should be the
length of the head from the top to

Very beautiful houses have been
built in America of late, from city
homes that are little palaces to mod
est country cottages which are none
the less sensible for being eminently
picturesque AS a rule our country
houses are the best. Here we are
most successful because at once most
rational and most individual, least
conventional and initiative, least be-
set by the desire for mere display or
for mere collecting. Here we have
most frequently asked for just what
we wanted, and wanted things of a
sensible kind Here our native de-
sires and tastes most genuinely ex-
press themselves, and we find the
buildings we should prefer to show a
foreigner as both very American and
very good.
Of course here and there in our
cities we may pick out building
which equals our best country homes
in true excellence and SURPRISES them
by far In pure architectural lmpor-
lance. But | am speaking now of
classes of buildings, and l am sure
we have better right to be proud of
our country homes as a class than
of our municipal structures, our
churches, our business blocks or any.
thing else that is ours, Naturally
we may be glad of the fact, in view
of their typical, representative char
acter. To have begun well in the

the desires and aims of the American
people as a whole, entities us to hope
for future success along all Other

fell in the Servia- Turkish war of 1876.
In the battle of Zaitchar, July IS, he

him but few minutes and he pushed

The Servians were repulsed, and two

exhibited it about their camp, and their
commander, Osman Pasha, refused to
deliver it under flag of truce.

Queer Things in Science.

Fourteen years ago Professor Pic

regarded as nothing more than a
freak of scientific luxury. But the
professor, established now with com
plete laboratories in Berlin, has not
only produced almost incredible cold,
but has turned his powers to practical
purposes. Mercury, for instance, has
been frozen hard enough to be cast
into the form of a tuning fork, and
so have its elasticity measured.
And if the commercial must come
in, to make a thing practical, glyc-
erin has been crystallized and brandy
frozen-with the effect in the latter
case of imparting "mellowness'

keeping. Most important of all, by
this means it is found that chloro-
form can be thoroughly pulihed-a
result almost impossible by other

The total national debt of the United

history of modern nations there is no
record of case in which a national
debt has been paid so rapidly. The
wealth of the ten richest men in the
country would, combined, pay all the
remaining debt of the nation. Govern
ment receipts during January, 1892, were
less by $6,5O0,0OO than they were for the
corresponding month of 1891. The de-
crease comes chiefly from diminished
customs receipts.

history of Titusville has such scene of
desolation presented itself as was un-
folded to the gaze this morning. As [
entered the main thoroughfare, the first
sight witnessed was four men carrying
the dead body of a man on stretcher.
Within fifteen minutes the sight became
so common that it ceased TO occasion sur
prise. At the present writing it is esti-
mated that fully 100 persons have been
either drowned or burned TO death. The
money loss will run from 81 800, 600 to
81, ,000, 900. An idea of the extent of ter
ritory covered by the flood and fire can be
obtained when it is stated that over two
miles were destroyed. This includes
railroads, factories, refineries, private
families, etc. As near as can be ascer-
tanned the following is the list Of dead

The fall term of Childs' BusinessC ollege, Springfield, begins Tuesday Sept. 9th. The corps of teachers is the same excellent one that under MT. E. E. Childs' manage ment has contributed so much in giving the school it's present celebrity. The col lege is in it's 9th year, and has placed more graduates in positions than any oth- CT three schools in western New England. Its curriculum embraces bookkeeping, banking, invoice and letter writing, com mercial law, business practice, and short hand and type-writing. In the last named study the speedy method of writing by touch, i. G., without the aid of the eye in locating the typewriter keys, is taught, and with great success. The college cat alogue, one of the finest published, may be had on application.

In this country, particularly, there are no reserved places in business or society that can be counted upon, and with that fact established, every parent should struggle to the utmost, no matter what the sacrifice, to see that their boy or girl is fitted to earn living in competition with others. A sound, practical business education is better than an inheritance, for while the first may take wings and fly away, the other is an implement that will carve out fortune to at least an honest living, given health and the necessary qualities of prudence and industry. The New London Business College, New Lon- don, Conn, offers the opportunity, at small cost, for just this necessary training that will make the boy or girl reasonably independent of the world. Those inter- ested should address R. A. Brubeck, prin- cipal, for copy of catalogue.
