"The other day woman who spends
thousands of dollars year on dress sent
for me and gave me an old garment to
make over for house wear says dress
maker. "There were trimmings and
Innings to buy, but she gave Inc no
money. OF course it was taken for
granted that would furnish those. That
was all right. When the work was done
the bill amounted to $11.30, and | had
less than 81 in cash. wrote an apollo
getic little note to my customer when l
sent the dress home, asking for the
amount of the bill-if convenient. My
messenger returned empty handed. He
waited in the hallway of the rich wom-
ans house for half an hour, and receiv-
ing no answer to my note ventured TO
speak to one of the servants about it.
The servant kindly said that she would
inquire about it. Soon she returned
with the message that Mrs. - said
that she had no time TO bother with petty
bills then. In consequence my little
family had very skinny Sunday din

Disuse of the Hat.

A London correspondent complains
that he cannot take his walks abroad
with his head uncovered without being
exposed to gibes and fouts and sneers
and treated as a lunatic. "And yet, he
asks. "who but the halter would suffer
by the almost complete disuse of the hat,
The advantages would be many. We
should entirely avoid badness (Which
our hats induce; our heads would be as
cool as our faces (Which we never think
Of covering, though they are less pro.
tected with hair than our heads; we
should save our money and great deal
of trouble. In this climate we need not
be afraid of sunstrokes, and we should
avoid colds in the head. 1t is mistake
to suppose that either chimney pot hats
or bowlers shade the eyes. They do not
do so any more than women's bonnets." "

The welfare of Children.

There is distinct advance III intelli-
gent grownup interest in child life.
Mr.. Howells, Miss Larcom and Edward
Everett Hale have all given us interest
ing books embodying their own recollec-
tions of childhood. Mrs. De Land is
writing Il charming novel whose main
interest is in problems of childish psy-
cholosy, and Mrs. Burnett promises a
similar volume. During the recent
meeting Of the Association of College
Alumnw it was evident that one of the
most interesting branches of work taken
up by college bred women is systematic
and scientific study of the development
--physiologic, psychologist and ethical
of very young children. This recogni-
ton of the interesting points of the
young human animal is significant. 1t
not only promises better things for the
child, but better times for his elders.-

ALMOST A CHOLERA SCARE.


Seized New York City.
Let me tell You how came near be-
ing the innocent cause of a big cholera
scare" said a well known lawyer to a
reporter one afternoon. 1T happened in
this way: l was breakfasting alone in
East Twenty-cight street at private
italian boarding house filled with the
leading people from several comic opera
companies, including Robin Hood and
'Puritania.' My landlady, Nine. S.,
whose English pronunciation is at once
the delight and despair of those who
seek to initiate or understand it, came in
and said: 'Mista John, writa me una
note. Say Aida wom' are down. Com
ma queell. You putta ma nom alta bot
Sophie
Il was in haste to get down town."
continued the narrator, land | wrote it
out as l understood it, All the women
are down; come quick | thought
that the message sounded odd. She
said, however. that it was 'alla rat,
and sent it to DR.. X. around the corner
in Lexington avenue. That worthy
young physician glanced at the note, and
thinking that it opened the way to fame
for him informed the board of health
that he had discovered an outbreak of
cholera in an up town italian boarding
house, lie telephoned the same mes
sage to several newspaper men of his
acquaintance.
In less than twenty minutes a squad
of burly policemen appeared in front of
the house, followed by the doctor, six re-
porters and several officers of the board
of health, whose instincts had been
wrought up to u white heat by the mes
sage. Mime. S. answered the incessant
ringing of the door bell in person.
She was attired in becoming morning
gown, and being Il large and remarkably
handsome woman, presented a dra-
matte appearance as she explained the
situation: Gentleman, who eata brik-
fast now, no undastanda me. l tell him
olda wom' are down, slippa down, you
undastan? Olda WON worka for me.
FalIa downa de stair. Hurta her side.
No wom' down here at all. Dey ALA

My father insisted that my sister Ka-
tie and should teach the polka step to
him and Mr.. Leech. My father was as
much in earnest about learning to take
that wonderful step correctly as though
there We're nothing of greater impor-
tance in the world. Often he would prac-
tice gravely in a corner, without either
partner or music, and | remember one
cold winters night his awakening with
the fear that he had forgotten the step so
strong upon him that, jumping out of
bed, by the scant illumination of the old
fashioned rushlight and to his own whis-
tling he diligently rehearsed its lone,

secure in his knowledge.
No one can imagine our excitement
and nervousness when the evening came
on which we were to dance with our
pupils. Katie was to have Mr.. Leech,
who was over six feet tall, for her partner
while my father was to be mine. My
heart beat so fast that | could scarcely
breathe. | was so fearful for the success
Of our exhibition. But my fears We're
groundless, and we were greeted at the
finish of our dance with hearty applause,
which was more than compensation for
the work which had been expended upon
its learning. Mamie Dickens in Ladies

IN OTHER LANDS.
How the Children in Europe Observe
Christmas Day.

ho" the Sniiuren IN Europe Observe
Christmas Day.
In Belgium the children fill their shoes
with beans and carrots on Christmas
eve, and set them in the chimney place
for the good saints horse. In the morn
ing they expect to find them filled with
sweetmeats and fruit in return for their
good behavior.
In Holland the children hang up their
wooden stockings by the tiled chimney
piece, and then go soberly to bed quite
sure that good St. Nicholas will visit
them, provided they do not disturb him
in his visit.
Bohemian children listen anxiously on
Christmas eve for the chariot and white
horses of the "Christ child" as he comes
flying through the air with his krippe
full of presents; but the Italian children
go gravely with their parents to churches
and cathedral to see the bambino, or
saint, who presents them with their
Christmas gifts.
The Spanish children hide their shoes
or slippers in the bushes on Christmas
eve, and find them filled with fruit and
sugar plums on Christmas morning.
In France the young people stand their
shoes IN convenient place for the gifts
to be dropped into. Sometimes if the
shoe of bad boy is among them he
finds whip in it in the morning, and he
must be stupid fellow who cannot take
so sharp hint. Very different are the
feelings of German child. He waits
with feelings of mingled awe and pleas
ure for the coming of two important
personages-the "Christ child" and the
"Knecht Rupert" The latter person
questions naughty children and threat
ems them with punishment till the
"Christ childs" intercession saves the
culprit and wins its pardon. Then these
two Christmas apparitions lay down.
their burdens of gifts and depart
In some parts of Germany the good
saint will have a Christmas tree bril-
liantly Illuminated with wax candles to
hang its gifts on. He is not satisfied
simply with the stocking in the Chin
ney, and it is from this whim of his
saintship that the custom has spread into
other countries and come over to our
own. The Christmas tree of today, how
ever, is only a successor to it's prototype,
the ancient legendary ydgnatil, or eter-
nal tree, that had its roots in earth and
its top in heaven.
In Germany the schoolboys and Choir
isters make the midnight air ring with
their merry carols. The "Three Kings
of the East, the Angel Gabriel and the
Star Singers" parade the streets, and
similar professions go about in Italy,
France and Spain. In former years,
and perhaps even now in some localities
in England, the Christmas waits-young
lads-make the air vocal with lovely
Christmas carols, but in our country
these are reserved to be heard in church
and Sunday school, and sometimes they
ring out in chimes from the church stee-
ple.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

a peculiar marriage was celebrated at
San Antonio Wednesday. c. j. Ennis,
aged eighty-sixycars auold Mexican war
veteran, who was in a dying condition,
was married to Elizabeth Baccus, aged
seventy-seven years. Ennis is in receipt
of a monthly stipend of eight dollars
from the government. In gratitude to
the woman who is now his wife and
nursed him for the past two or three
years he desired that the marriage take

Nothing can be much more depressing
than seasickness, and for this reason we
should strongly advise all weak persons
not to encounter if possible the risk Of
its occurrence. 1t is astonishing how
soon and how completely those who are
favored with a fair measure of constitu-
tional elasticity recover from its depres-
sion. In their case the benefits of sea
trip may thus, with compensations Of
air, diet and appetite, be enhanced by a
few hours of mechanical nausea. 1t is
in truth for such persons only that tours
of this kind are advisable. London Lam

held conference between the commits
sioners of agriculture of the various

nessee being impressed with the necessity
for reduction i'll the acreage of cotton
and the greater diversifcation of crops
forhome consumption, hereby indorse the
action of the cotton growers and mer-

peal to all agricultural and mercantile
organizations, consisting of Alliances,
Oranges, state and county agricultural
societies, boards of trade, cotton ex-
changes, chambers of commerce, ETC.,
and also individual farmers and mer-
chants, to assist and cooperate with us
in securing the foregoing results, and to
this end recommend the general and
local adoption of the action of the con-
vention pledging themselves to reduc-
ton of not less than 20 per cent of the
cotton acreage of last year, and we fur
Their urge and recommend the immediate
organization of state, county and dis
tricts or townships to act either indie
pendently or through already organized
societies, as deemed best, and to most
readily insure the benefits arising from
concert of action and the decreased pro-
duction of cotton for 1892.
