Nowhere, excepting in this free and
beautiful country of ours, could an incident
combining the humorous and practical
have occurred like the following 1t was
between Mr.. Bliss, a conductor on the Chi
cagO & Rock Island Railroad, whose height
is five feet and Mr.. Henry. a passenger,
who stood seven in his stockings. Mr..
Henry put his ticket in his hat band, and
stood himself up when the brief conductor
came along. Mr.. Bliss could not reach the
ticket, even when standing on his toes, and
his unavailing efforts to do so made all the
passengers "laugh consumedly." But he
rose to the occasion. Without changing
countenance, he brought step-ladder,
leaned it against the elongated Henry,
climbed up to and picked off the ticket and
went on as though nothing had happened

Many fashionable dressmakers take
with them an assistant, who receives
from one dollar to one dollar and half
day and the same meals that dress
maker does. Her duties consist in doing
the detail work, as everlasting, making
buttonholes, putting velvetecn facing
on or pocket in, etc, while the profess
sional sewer cuts, fits, bastes and
stitches. 1t is only in the city where
such assistants flourish, as in small
towns one does it all, with or without
any help from the family for which she
is sewing. The assistant gees to the
kitchen to do the pressing and in fact
does what the dressmaker could but
will not do, while the latter does what
the assistant would but could not ac-
complish. Where there is n regular
| sewing-room furnished with gas, there
, are many little contlivances to be had
that fasten on the gas jet over which a
| dressmakers iron could be heated. An
other convenience for the dressmaking
| department is an ironing board curved
| and pointed SO that any bodice or sleeve
may bc'ironcd in its proper shape over
| it. II one has the money to spend for
all of the articles gotten up to make
sewing easy, from dress system down
to peculiar eyed needle, they can soon
make Il collection that, like Toodle's
coffin, may, come in handy some day.

TRAIN THE CHILDREN.
Importance of . X OWED &c of Domestic
ECnHnrnY.

Importance OF * oWlcdse of Domestic
Econom
Escape from the tolls of penury might
be offered to some, by furnishing n
more practical education to the chill
dren of the poor, Some elementary in
dustrial training would enlarge the re-
sources of these boys and girls, and
might prevent many of them from drop
ping down into the lowest grades of
labor, where the struggle is severest.
Especially would little practical
training in domestic economy be useful
to the girls OF this class Most of them
are destined to be wives and mothers,
and the question whether the house
hold shall live in pinching want or in
comparative comfort often depends on
the skill and thrift of the wife and
mother. Here, for example, is table
with minute accounts of the expcndi-
tnre for FIVE weeks of thirty families in
London; and the exhibit is forcible il
lustration of the lack of thrift which
accompanies poverty. One family,
with an income of about five dollars a
week, made seventy-two different pur-
chascs of tea during the five weeks.
lnasmuch as this family never took
more than two meals a day at home, ii
is evident that they never bought more
than single drawing OF tea at time;
seventy-two purchases of tea in thirty
five days is two purchases day (Sun-
day included), and two extra OF these
thirty families, it is evident that quite
! a number went to the grocery every
day of their lives-not few Of them
several times a day. This hand-to-
mouth existence is at enmity with
thrift; it is scarcely possible that any
family should escape from poverty until
it learns wiser methods of expenditure.
That many of these helpless people are
pitifully ignorant of the alphabet OF
domestic economy is plain enough; is it
not possible to give the girls, in indus.
trial schools, some practical instruction
in this most important art?-Century.
