failure of the austin Dam.

A serious break occurred in the great
dam at Austin. Texas, which was re.
Gently completed. The massive masonry
inclosing the penstocks gradually went
down at the east end, making great
crack in the wall where it leaves the tor,

the wheel pits was swept away. Several
OF the pits were utterly DESTROYED and
the machinery in them tossed about and
carried off by the force of the roaring
torrent sweeping through the cavern
under the penstock level. Water is
working its way through nearly all the
masonry surrounding the peustocks and

Ane then, there is one girl who
is bright and popular, but poor,
while many of her companions are
wealthy girls. She has to resort to
so many eXpedients, to dress her
self neatly and keep herself and her
home always presentable. The

she has mended, the bonnets she
has made out of old odds and ends
what a history they would makeI
But let no one think that POVERTY

order their summer outfits of beau
tltul clothing, and go away to this
or that summer resort or to the

THE HOME CORNER,
BY JULIA TRUITT BISHOP.
[ Written for the LIGHT.

written tor the LIGHT.
a great deal is always said
4 and written to encourage
the girls who have gone out from
home and into a career. Their
courage is applauded, and they are
made to feel that they are doing
something grand and heroic, some
thing that lifts then above and sets
them apart from all woman-kind.
But as for me, l have something to
say to the girls who stay at home,
and who feel, perhaps, that their
lines have been cast in very homely
and obscure bypaths. Many of
them are confident that they are
fitted by nature for better things
than household drudgery, and the
great world has more charms for
them than the quiet, dull routine
of home life. They all need en-
enlargement, and they get very
little of it. 1t is for them l am
writing.

And i'll the first place while am
glad to see women succeeding in
business, and to know that they
a'e equal to the emergency when
circumstances force them out, still
| believe that they would all be
better at home, where they could
be sheltered and cared for, and
could make happy resting place
for those they love. l am sure
that in divine economy it was
intended that woman should
be the center of the home. Hard and
grim necessity has made this i'm
possible for many women, but it
should always be regarded as
calamity, to be borne with all the
fortitude possible, and not as
blessing to be deliberately chosen.

So she dries her eyes and begins
washing the dishes as cheerf1llv
and methodically as though dish
washing were-the one especial
thing for which she was created.
All, that is the great secret. If
your work happens to lie in the
kitchen, do it as faithfully as
though is lay i'll the palace. If it
should chance to call you behind
the counter, be the most courteous
the most diligent and the most
successful saleswoman in the coun
try. If nothing but the schoolroom
opens up before you, forget that
yon were born for this or that high
career, and be the most painstaking
and efficient of school teachers. And
when nothing is before you, but
the prosaiC home duties, when YOU
are chosen to "help mother" why
make that help SO genuine, so sim
cere and so cheerful that it shall
warm that mothers heart and
brighten her life, and make your
homely work radiant with the
light that comes from within.

There is another girl who is al
home pinning her life out, dreary
and discontented and making every
body about her unhappy, because,
forsooth, she wants to go ON the
stage and cannot. 1t started in
the usual way, with amateur thea
tricals, and with the admiring
friends who told her she was a
born actress" and now there is
nothing in life for her, but the
glare of the footlights. If one
could but raise the curtain a mo-
ment, and show her the long toll,
the bitter disappointments, the
rivalries and jaelOusies, the heart
burniugs and regrets that lie along
such a career, would make her
pause, ! wonder? If one could
show her the false and unhealthy
moral atmosphere of stage life, and
the hundreds Of wrecked charact-
ers and repu tations blown upon,
would she stop to consider then?
And for such a life as this she
would be willing to give up the
quiet home that seems such a hav-
Ell of peace, and the father and
mother whose first thought, all her
life long, has been for her.

Spiration, even in common work
for one who is really fitted for bet

health failed, and she needed me

And there she was, a young girl,

for her mother to lean on. And
with all this grand work so nobly
done, she yet thought that there
was something higher which she

LIGHT REFLECTIONS.
The Man at the Corner Tells what
he Sees and Hears.


"San Antonio" said well
known policeman, has never been
inflicted with more than two
chronic offenders against the city
ordinance prohibiting drunken.
ness. One was poor old man Chrys-
Ter, who died some years ago and
the Mexican poet F. Yturbide who
continues to add regularly to
his score of convictions. Such
characters you read of all the
world over, especially in the me.
trOplitan daily papers, and are
found more frequently in large
cities. In the st. Louis Globe.
Democrat | read the other day of
woman in London, England,
named Cakebread, who had been
before the m tgistrates over $50
times for drunkenness. There the
magistrate regretted that he
could not send her to a home for
drunkards bu', in default, he sent
her to Jail for a month without
the option of fine. The Otfenses
of this kind of law breakers, is
the results of disease rather than
a crime and science is realizing
this fact. The day will come
when chronic drunkards will be
confined for treatment and mu.
tual protection and when this
comes it will be the better for all.
Iheard on the corner that while
the masculine mosquito is quite a
singer on it's WY, it is the female
insect that plays Hades with the
human cutiCle. Without wishing
to be ungallant must say that |
should not be at all surprised to
find that this theory is true for
the female means business when
she goes after any thing and gen.
orally gets there.
"Little pitchers have big ears"
said a proud father, "the other

came to visit her and stayed to

"Whiskey at 10 cents a quart"

Of a good, pure whiskey in those

he thought all was fair, and would
not hesitate to get the advantage
if possible. When in drought
season the milk ran short, water
made up the deficiency, l was
there once at the time when the
man came in before going to the
city with the the milk. The farmer
asked. "All right Jack?" "Yes,"

"There is new and interesting
game" said a ST cial butterfly,
that is amusing and intere ,ting
and promises to be very popular.
A party of ladies and gentlemen
are called together and one is
elected as an interrogation. He
or she demands that each member
of the party shall repeat three
short sentences accurately after
him and that failing to do so the
faulty party must put up a for
felt to be redeemed in the usual
way. Then he takes each mem.
Der, seriatim, from the party where
nOGe can hear and makes the fJl
lowing statements or something
of the kind: ~ San Antonio is in
Texas o. Texas is ia the United
States To these there is usually
the correct repetition, but as soon
as the second statement is repeat.
ed the interrOgator interrupts and
says that's not right. ms cad of
repeating tn )se words, rs they are
said to be right, ninety nine out OF
a hundred will think they are re
tlecting upon their ability to re.
peat simple sentences and will
contend that they have repeated
the words rightly. Of course
this settles it and the parties have
to put up their forte ts. The
"catch" lies in the words That's
