Poor. Oyerworked Women.

Half the ills that women are heir to
come, so say doctors, from the fright
fully high pressure at which they live
nowadays. Sick headache or migrane,
as the call it abroad, is a universal
complaint and arises chiefly from over
strain. Nervous i~rritability, insomnia,
and hysteria are all on the increase in
the upper classes. There is a mania to
see and be seen-to learn everything,
from political economy to clear starch
ing. In short, women of the upper
classes do too much. Perhaps they
can not help themselves, owing to the
exigencies of society. Look at the
women one meets who have been doing
the season. Are they not pale, worn,
anxious, highly strung? According to
a great medical authority if women
would once in every ten days take a
whole days complete rest in bed they
would retain their health, spirit, and
energies much longer than they do.
Of course, this advice is only meant for
really Woodworking women of fashion
who are obliged to keep late hours

vide me with one. By the way, l shan't
be able to TURF up at your picnic on
Thursday, because l have just remem-
bered there will be racing at Kempton
park that day; but you won't miss me.
I'm rather too much of a simpleton to

+, She withdrew her hand from his arm,
stared at him for a moment and forced
out a disconnected laugh.
Ibid you hear what l said to Nellie
Leighton just now?" she inquired.
'Since you ask me, | did. 1t was
tolerably conclusive, wasn't it,"
1t had been so conclusive that she
could think of no adequate rejoinder
and silently submitted to be helped into
her carriage. Probably she did not
abandon all hope. but she might as
well have done so, for the imbecility of
mankind, great though it is. has limits.
AS for Lionel Falconer, he lighted a
cigar and strolled off to the club, where
he met his friend Bates, to whom he
gave a succinct account Of the incidents
of the evening.
Il am glad you have done with the
| widow, anyhow" was Mr.. Bates com
ment upon his narrative. miss Elton

you will come to an understanding with

Miss Leighton had not been alto
gether mistaken. Still there are more
ways than one of caring for a fellow
been fond of the admirer whom she had
latterly chosen to neglect, and with
whose perfidy she was now menaced, it
is certain that she had at no time been
half as fond of him as she was of her
self. However, she had no notion of
allowing him to be snapped up from
under her very nose by a scheming lit
tie widow; so she answered composed
ly:
Il can assure you of this, my dear; he
shall come to u picnic or the river
next Thursday, and he shall not throw
US over for Mrs. Martindale's afternoon
concert, at which you say hat you
heard him promise to put in an appear
ance We shall meet him at Lady
Knightsbridge's ball tonight, suppose
and if | don't make him retract his
promise to that woman before the even
ing is over, you shall have my beauti-
full new feather fan to take home with
YOU"
"Qui rirra rerra," was Miss Leighton's
PLACID rejoinder. People are not quite
SO keen about dancing with me as they
were in days gone by, and l like to get
to bed by three o'clock, if possible; but
l will cheerfully remain until after sun
rise upon the chance of securing that
fan. Not that shan't be just as well
pleased to lose it, for I hate to see a
girl throwing away her opportunities
as you have been doing of late"
Now, it so happened that, at this
same moment, Mr.. Lionel Fa1coner,
sitting in the smoking-room of his club,

she was perhaps entitled to speak with
a-certain degree of arrogance when
threatened with the loss of a supposed
sutton. Nellie Leighton, her conf
dante, had seen many seasons wax and
wane and had assimilated a vast and
varied stock of knowledge. She re-
marked:
'Of course / don't know whether you
want to marry him or not. If l were
in your place l should want to marry
him, because he is going to be Lord
Falconer one of these days, and he is
rich, besides being a well-conducted
sort of young man, and not at all bad
looking. What l do know is that you
will not be able to play fast and loose
with him much longer. You have dis
gusted him with your flirtations, and
now Mrs Martindale has annexed him"
Mrs. Martindale!" CALCULATED the
other, in accents of superb disdain.
"Oh! she paints her face and she is
no longer in her first youth, and her
reputation is not immaculate. l grant
you all that; but my dear Maud, if you
haven't found out that men are abso-
lutely blind and absolutely imbecile
where a woman is concerned, you have
still a good deal to learn. Mrs. Mar
tindale would like very much to be
Lady Falconer; and Lady Falconer she
will be, unless you make haste to spoil
her game. The only question is whether
you haven't already waited too long. /

MINUTE
Some Very Small Things Which Excite
Curious Interest.

Curious Interest.
It is not always the things of gigan-
tic proportions that excite the great
est curiosity. Mastadons, elephants.
whales and other creatures of mon
strous size are and have been wonders
indeed; SO, too, are the pyramids, the
great cathedrals, towers, monuments.
etc; the great Corliss engines, the six
teen-drive-wheel locomotive and other
triumphs of mechanical skill. But,
while this is true beyond question, how
about the wonders revealed by the mi
croscope, and the work of the deft-
fingered artist, d. A. Vr. Nicer, who
painted a landscape on the side of a
grain of wheat? BY the use of a strong
microscope only could the wonders of
this minute painting be distinguished.
Yet when a good glass was
brought to bear upon what appeared
to be a spot of variegated paint
upon the side of the wheat grain, all
was changed into a beautiful land
scape-a forest, a mill al the side of a
river; a miller climbing an outside
stairway with a sack of grain upon his
back; a tall cliff at the side of the mill,
and a winding road along which some
peasants are trying to drive a refrae-
tory pig!
If the inventor and builder of the
| great Corliss engine that furnished
| power to turn all the machinery at the
Centennial exposition of 1876 deserves
| great praise, what shall we say for the

SUMNER
Good Suggestions Regarding the Care OF
the Bed Clothing.

the Bed Clothing.
Summer is a season of the year when
the bedding should be very carefully
aired. Not only is it subject to excess
sive exhalation, through perspiration
from the human body, but it can not
be subject to the disinfecting powers
of the cold. as it can in winter.
The best substitute for the cold is
the sunshine, which is almost as power
full a purifier as frost itself. At least
once a week, besides the morning air
ing of the beds, the summer blankets
or comforts should hang where the sun
and air will strike full upon them.
Housekeepers sometimes arrange a
temporary line in a room to hang the
bed clothing on while it is airing, but
this does not serve as we'll in summer
as a line in the open air. The very
best summer mattress is undoubtedly
one of horsehair. Next to this a mat
tress of wool is to be preferred, though
it is very uncommon in this country.
Where frugality is necessary husks
make a good bed, though a hard one.
There is an immense choice in husk
mattresses. When the corn husks have
been properly dried, and all the hard
pieces of the stalk and cob picked out,
they make a very comfortable bed, but
if they are roughly put together, as a
| good many of the cheap mes are, they
form too Spartan a couch to be con-
| ducive to restful slumbers.-N. Y. Trib-

MONEY AND CHARACTER.

Index of n Mans Character.

Methods of Carrying Cash Often an
Index of Mans Character.
From the Toronto News.
If you want to know something about a
mans character. watch how he handles his
money.
The generous careless man carries his
money loose in his pocket-copper. silver
and gold all mixed up together-and when
he is going to pay for anything ne takes out
handful and picks out the amount he re-
auires He seems to have no fear of rob-
berry. for he is Of trustful disposition, and
being perfectly honest himself, thinks most
others are like him.
The man who, IL he has to pay a few
pence, won't even take the trouble Of count
ing out the amount Of coppers, but throws
down a piece Of silver to be changed and
by the by, he rarely counts his change-is a
type of fool and his money are soon
parted"
Perhaps a love Of display. almost insepa-
rable from such a character has something
to do with this.
The careful man always carries a purse
and keeps the gold, silver and copper in
different compartments. A man like this
never wastes his money; ne values it as 1t
ought to be valued. and. though not mig
worth. He quite believes that ANY fool
can make money, but II takes a wise man
to keep it, and he is right.
The mean man never let's you see what
money he has: when he is going to pay for
anything he turns his back to you, clutches
his money tight. and. SO to say, draws 1t
out of his hand, placing the coins down
one by one. for he is 10th to part with them,
even for necessaries.
Remember. the man who jingles his mon-
ey, in ninety-nine cases out Of a hundred,
hasn't got much. A bunch of keys and a
few coppers make a good deal of noise.
