London I'm the fast Century.

From Harper's Magazine.
The ladies were always going about.
But they staid at home in the even
ings. There was q very good reason
why the women should stay at home.
The streets were infested with prowl-
ing thieves and with dangerous bull
lies; no woman could go out after dark
in the city without an armed escort
of her fathers apprentice or his men
servants. The occupations of u young
lady-not lady of the highest fash
ion-of this time are given by con-
temporary writer. He says that she
makes tippets, works handkerchiefs
in catgut, collects shells, makes
grottoes, copies music, paints, cuts
out figures al d landscapes and makes
screens. She dances q minuet or
cotillon, and she can play ombre,
lansquenet, quadrille ana Pope Joan
These are frivolous accomplish.
ments, but the writer says nothing OF
the mornings work-the distilling OF
creams, the confecting of cakes and
buildings and sauces, the needlework
and all the useful things.
They did not always stay at home.
In the summer they sometimes went
10 Vauxhall, where the girls enjoyed
the sight of the wicked world as
much as they liked the singing and
the supper and the punch that fol-
lowed.
We have quite lost the mug house.
This was kind OF music hall, a large
room where only men were admitted
and where ale or stout was the only
drink consumed. Every man had
his pipe; there was president. A
harp played at one end OF the room
and out IF the company present one
after the other stood up to sing. Be.
tween the songs there were toats and
speeches, sometimes of political
kind, and the people drank to each
toher from table to table.
1t was great fighting time. Eve
ry man who went abroad knew that
he might have to fight to defend
himself against footpad or bully
Most men carried q stout stick. When
Dr. johnson heard that q man had
threatened 10 horsewhip him he
ordered a thick cudgel, and was easy
in his mind. There was no police
and therefore man had to fight. II
can not be doubted that the martial
spirit of the country, which was ex
traordinary, was greatly sustained
by the practice of fighting, which
prevailed alike in all ranks. Too
much order is not all pure gain. L
we have not rid of the Mohocks and
street scoureTs, we have lost good
deal of that readiness to fight which
formerly met those Mohocks and
made them fly.

The Wedding Was Not Postponed This
Time Even If Faro Got His Wages.
One of the happiest families in Butte to-
day is young miner, devoted wife and
baby just budding into talkativeness. The
couple we're married In Butte, and theirs
was wedding with a romantic story con-
nected with it.
The young man, whose name is William
-, became enamOred OF Miss Nellie -
about three years ago, and the affection was
mutual, so that In a short time they were
engaged. The wedding day was fixed con-
Veniently after "pay day." for the young
man had nothing but wealth of love and
steady employment, and the girl was living
with relatives who kept boarding house,
and she was only me&gerly paid for her
work. William had failing, that of gam
bling and occasionally getting drunk. Pay
day came, and the anxiety of the girl in-
creased, but the lover had the ceremony
postponed until The next pay day. Thus it
went on for three months, aud after paying
his board bill the young man each time con-
tributed what he had left to King Faro.
Another month went slowly by, the
young man swearing beforehand that they
should be married next time, and said he
would come 10 her as soon as he was paid
off. She waited, but he did not come. She
put on her hat and cloak and started down.
town. She walked up aud down the street
in front of the gambling-houses several
times, and at last met friend whom she
asked to look through the different places
and see il her intended was in there.
He was fonnd in the old Crystal and

lost his months earnings. We'll. you

"WhalW exclaimed the young man. "do
you mean to say you are going to get the

The young man pressed his lips to hers

for losing his money, but he took a VOW
which he did not put in words. That VOW
was that he would never touch liquor or

SHE SOMETIMES FAILS.
Even in Her own Domain Woman Is Not
Altogether a Success

Even in Her own Damain Woman Is Not
Altogether a Success.
VI course II is rank heresy to mention It,
but does it ever occur to the advanced
woman that while as yet she has failed to
demonstrate her superior ability in any of
the professions or Industries of mans
province, whenever the man invades
her domain he invariably excels her in
skill and success? asks the New Y ork Sun.
The woman doctor takes second place to
the man, yet the man cook is the greater.
the better paid, the more successful than
the woman. The greatest lawyer in the
world is not woman, but the greatest mil
liner is man, and the most famous dress
maker is also man. The best taiors for
women are men, the greatest designers of
house decoration, architecture and furnish
ing are men, and the best housekeepers are
men.
OF course the women will rise up In their
wrath, but you ask any man who lives at
a trst-cass club, managed entirely by men,
if he can have the same comfort, the same
excellence of cooking aud variety of menu,
the same absence of friction and ANNOYANCE
for the same amount OF money, provided by
the most thoughtful, painstaking little
wife in the world. In any household, if
man is allowed to have dominion over his
own particular departmental he exercises
unbiased taste in furnishing and arrange
ment-yOu VIII invariably find that the
mans room is the fav0rite place in the
house, and that rarely is the man permitted
to enjoy it in peaceful seclusion. Why9
Because it is Tesiful in coiOrng and has
no glazing contrasts Of tint. Tie chairs are
comfortable when you sit in them and are
not done up with veXatiOus sashes. The
lights are arranged so that you can see to read
or write if you like and are not so buried in
frils and millinery and fr0u-frou that their
original purpose is lost There are well
come space effects in the mans room
happy contrast with the cluttered, crowded
confusion of the wUman's room. Things
are exactly where you can put your hand on
them when you want them without any
forethOught. Nothing is in the way of
something else. There are no k-knackS
to fall down, no traps TO trip your feet.
Everything has purpose. The pictures
are hung where you can see them and are
worth looking at. The books are where
you can reach them and are books you want
to read. The bits of bric-a-brac have q
purpose as well as a history. The whole of
the mans room is, in word, comfort. OF
the woman's room the idea iS-effect. In
searching after his ideal the man frequently
attains the wOman's ideal as well. The
woman often misses both in striving after
the one OF lesser Importance.
