He Was a Real Yankee.

During a local option election in a
western town both sides had a challenge
committee at the polls to see that no
fraudulent votes were sent in. A work
ingman with Celtic features offered his
vote. An ''optionist' committeeman
challenged his vote. The Celt was
sworn to truthfully answer the ques-
tons put to him.
How long have you resided in this
state:"
about two years."
"How long have you been in indie
pendence:"
NEARLY a year."
Have You eve taken out naturaliza-
ton papers"
"NO, sir
police, take this man into custody
for attempting to cast a fraudulent
vote"
An Indictment was next in order, SO
it was thought best to ascertain the
exact nationality of the prisoner before
it was drawn. He was asked:
..Of what country were you a native!
He answered:
"Massachusetts."-''Th Sunny Side OF
Politics."

And to make it worse, he who wrote
about the theatrical performance lauded
in enthusiastic terms the beauty of the
ideal lady of honor and said, Moreover.
the Prince de Nerins declared that in
contestably Mile. Miranda was the most
beautiful woman in Paris"
Nine. Derl;ne threw the paper in the
fire. She did not wish her husband to
know that she was no longer the most
beautiful woman in Paris.
Nevertheless she held on to the great
dressmaker and the English coachman,
but she has never dared to ask for the
little groom.-Translated from the
French of Ludovig Halevy for the New
York World.

Unjust to Visiting Pastors.

Ministers who accept an invitation to
occupy a pulpit for a Sunday or two
during a pastors vacation have a right
to expect that their compensation shall
be commensurate with the ability Of the
church. When the pastor receives two
or three thousand a year it is hardly fair
to put "the supply" off with a ten dollar
bill. We have known Of ministers who,
having accepted an urgent invitation to
occupy a pulpit, have not received a
sum that they would offer to the brother
who has preached for them St home
during their absence, and they were out
Of pocket their travelling expenses

NaDOleOn's Talisman.

Louis Napoleon, who believed himself,
even amid exile and poverty, destined to
that throne which the prestige of his
name and his cunning coup d'etat en-
abled him to reach, was not without his
superstitions. In his will he says, "With
regard to my son, let him keep as a tails
man the seal | used to wear attached to
my watch" This talisman had no power
to turn aside the fatal spears of the
Zulus, and the young Napoleon met a
sadder fate than his fathers worst fears
could have imagined for him.-Detroit

To President Cleveland.

BY CAPT. D.. L. MACINTOSH
Great ruler of this favored land,
Who soon shall take supreme command:
Oh, hear a poets prayer.
The widows and their children too
OF soldier men will look to YOU:
Oh! treat them kind and fair.
Scan not too close each pension bill,
Or listen to no tale of ill
About a widows fame:
Tit trials which they must endure.
Are hard to bear we may be sure,
And more than we can name.
Alas, this globe I've travelled round;
Of virtuous men l few have found,
On land or rolling sea.
And those who might have stood the test
Were rather sickly at their best,
And all past forty-three.
Had the war been fought by such,
There'd been few killed of French or Dutch
Of others none at all.
And Shiloh show no slaughtered men
Along its slopes, in wooded glen;
1here'd been no men to fall.
A. the virtuOus are so few,
Most wOmankind; a man or two,
Have mercy on the rest.
And ask no more OF widows talr
Than what their husbands had to share:
Demand no higher test.
What was that! now let us see,
"You're just eighteen and five foot three:
"YOu will do to stop a ball.
''That will do, now take him Ben,
This nation is in want of men,
'ThO this ones rather small
This was the test they underwent,
Ere to the battle they were sent,
There to fight and fall.
No question then about the past,
Or when TO church they had been last;
But would they stop q ball.
Treat their widows in This way,
No matter what the righteous say,
For them you need not care.
Pay the widows all that : due:
Their orphan children think Of. too.
For this is only fair.
Suppose the poor unfortunate
Did to temptation yield,
They should be last answered
Who took away her shield.
Sc he sparing of your veto,
When a widows in the case,
Fol- with the Great Almighty
She is likely to find grace.
n | would not have a protest.
From q widow sent on high
For the power of all the rulers
That is now beneath the SKY.
Or speaking more correctly
For all power III this globe,
The protest of the widow
As she kneels in her night robe,
And sobbing tells her troubles,
And her trials here below.
And that she has been ruined
BY the Presidents veto.
SO be sparing of your veto
When a widows name you see,
And the widows and their children
Will surely pray for thee.

A Lesson of Modcsty.

Mrs. Martha j. Lamb, in delightful
paper on Columbus and His Times"
read before the graduating class of
Gardner school, expressed some facts
concerning Queen Isabella from which
the women to-day may draw lesson of
modesty. 1t is to be feared the pro-
gressive woman of to-day looks upon
herself as rather the most progressive
since Mother Eve but lisa bella's prog
ress' was phenomenal considering her
environment "Shc had never studied
Latin till after she became a queen"
says Mrs. Lamb, but seeing its neces-
sity in diplomatic intercourse she APP
piled herself bravely to its acquisition.
Presentlyit became the fashion to Study
the ancient tongues. Italian teachers
were imported into Spain and there was
great enthusiasm, not few Spanish
women contributing to the brilliancy of
this comparatively unenliGhtencd
period. 1t is interesting to look back
ward 400 yeaes and find learned women
as well as men attending academic ex-
aminations, taking part in the public
exercises of the gymnasium, and lectur-
ing from the chairs of universities, but
we shall not be likely to find it in any
country except Spain, and to the influ-
ence and example of Isabella the credit
must he given."-N. Y. Times.

DRESS DESIGNERS,
A Profitable Occupation In Which Women
Take the Lead.

Take the Lead.
One of the successful dress designers
OF the city is woman not yet thirty.
She was telling me some days ago how
her work is done. She supplies large
number of the fashion sketches issued
with the fashion sheet of big pattern
house, and she earns sixty-five dollars
week at her trade. 1T is something"
she began. that only few women
and not half dozen men can do, There
are the ladies' tailors, of course, but
they repeat themselves in essentially
the same designs. Outside of tailor
work, practically all the new dress de-
signs gotten up in the city are from
sketches made by women. It is very
seldom that man tries his hand at it
who does not fail. For me, | often
walk the streets till get my idea. In
an hour on Broadway or Fifth avenue |
catch hint from the draping of a
skirt that suggests something to me,
or | see combination of colors of
a novel use of some fabrics that sets
my mind working in new direction.
Then go home and make wash draw
ing. 1t may not embody anything
have seen or it may take hints from
twenty different costumes. To be fit
for use as 4 pattern supplement it must
be original, it must be up with the
times, but not too far ahead of prevail
ing ideas, and it must be practicable;
that is, it must be such that an ordinary
dressmaker on a woman with knaclS
for cutting her own gowns can repro
duce it without too much trouble. If
am sure | am on the right tract and
want to be certain of turning out some
thing especially clever, l get the mate
rial for such a dress as am thinking of
and get a girl of good figure to try it
upon. l stand her up in the middle of
the floor and | stick in pins and pull
out pins and try this effect and that eff
feet and some other effect for maybe,
three hours at time. It's tiresome
work, but always feel repaid if it ends
by being a love of a gown. I've dressed
thousand women. say, when | get
you done: you duck of pretty dearl''
Sometimes it won't come to suit me and,

THE PROPER TITLE.
A Wife should Apply Only "AIr" to Her
Husbands Name.

Husbands Name,
In speaking of her husband, says a
correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, woman never makes mistake
if she calls him "NIr." on my husband"
1t is sometimes difficult to decide when
her husband has a title just what the
wife should do with it. This is the Sc
verest rule. In speaking of her hus-
band she should not say Gen. A." on
"Dr. b." but simply "Mr. A." MIR.
b." No matter what he is--judge, gov
ernor, captain-to her he is and should
be plain "Mr. A." Mrs. Grant never,
even when her husband was president,
spoke of him other than Mr.. Grant,
though it is the custom of the presi-
dents wife to speak of him as ''the pres
ident."
The one exception to this rule of ig-
noring her husbands official or profess
sional title is when the wife presents
him to anyone else, Then she says
my husband, Senator Smith," or sim
ply 'Dr. Jones" The reason for this is
evident. 1t give the proper clue to the
stranger, who would wish, of course, to
address the new acquaintance with the
proper title.
Last of all, let any wife take heed
how she wears her husbands title and
allows herself to be spoken of as Mrs.
Gov. Jones" or Mrs. Secretary Smith. "
No matter what title her husband has,
she has no more right to wear it than
she has to wear her husbands shoes.

When any line of produce is abund-

The melon vines need ballasting to
prevent the winds from rolling them
together and running the crop of young
fruit. The ballasting is best done by
placing hoefull or two of dirt on each
runner six or eight inches from the tip.
The vine will not only be held in its
place, but will also strike root where
covered and thus help to feed the vine.
Farm and Ranch.
AN examination of the horse mar
kcts shows that the draft horse brings
more money than any other class where
speed is left ont, and when we con-
slider that all the training necessary to
fit the heavy horse for market can be
given while he is earning his feed on
the farm, it is certainly apparent to the
most obtuse mind that this is the most
profitable horse for the average farmer
to raise.-TeXas Farm and Ranch.
