Rats in an English School.

In the summer holidays of 1858 the
floor of Long chamber in Eton school
was removed, and two large carloads Of
bones, chiefly of necks of mutton, were
taken from between the floor and the
ceiling of the rooms below. How they
came there was explained by Mr.. Car
ter, then vice provost. He told the pres
ent writer that when the sixth form
boys took their supper in chamber" the
rats were wont to come out of holes in
the floor and wainscot to feed on the
bones which were flung to them. When
these animals from time to time became
a nuisance by their numbers, fag was
sent round while the rats were feeding
to insert long stockings in their holes
with the apertures carefully opened.
The modern sock was then unknown.
When this was done an alarm was
given. The rats on rushing to their holes
were trapped in the stockings, which
were then drawn out, and the rats were
banged to death against the beds. "And
you went into school next morning in
the same stockings, sir?" "Of course, of
course was the reply; 1--WE could not
get clean stockings when we pleased. y

women,s Work in New Orleans.

The city council of New Orleans hav-
ing passed an ordinance to license the
social evil the women of that city took
the alarm, and under call of Mrs. E. L.
Saxon convened in mass meeting Miss
Florence Huberwald called the meeting
to order. Miss Kate Mobiles was elected
chairman and Miss Elsie Cage secretary.
Mrs. Saxon, at the opening of the meet
ing, read letter from Mayor Fitzpat-
rick in which he stated his intention to
veto the bill, whereupon resolutions Of
thanks to the mayor and the press were
passed. Mrs. Saxon, who is the pioneer
in social purity work in the United
States, made a most earnest address.
The bill was rightly stigmatized as
tending to further torture and degrade
q class already degraded and oppressed,
as opening opportunities for blackmail-
ing and extortion, and as Furnishing only
one offender, leaving the other unlimited
opportunity with impunity.
Mrs. Saxon said that SO per cent. of
these women were driven to their lives
of shame through want and the perfdy
of man. AS she pictured the present and
future of the outcast twenty-six women
of that class who were present sobbed
wildly, overcome by her eloquence and
touched with longing for better life

Lend Hand clubs in Boston have estab-
lished a monday rest for women en-
ployed in the city, where they may enjoy
the lunches brought from home with

Piled with hot lunches at small cost.
The dreariness of eating cold food in the

habitually make the MONDAY meal off

Women Who Play the Banjo.

The banjo, which is called the Ameri-
can national instrument, is favorite
with Miss Doremus, who is called the
most accomplished banjo player among
ladies not only in this city, but in this
country. 1t was Miss Yznaga who so
charmed the Prince of Wales with her
banjo playing that he was tempted to
take lessons in the art. Mrs. Hillhouse
is banjo player, and it is said that Mrs.
Grover Cleveland has taken up the banjo
in earnest, with the intention Of becom-
ing an accomplished performer.-New

Mrs. Les1ie's Sanctum.

Mrs. Frank Leslie's sanctum is the
corner room on the third floor of the
Judge building, at Sixteenth street and
Fifth avenue. 1t is quite different from
the average "office,p being filled with
books and chairs and handsome tables.
Mrs. Leslie herself occupies heavily
covered chair of antique pattern. She
is always richly dressed, even at her
desk, and is by no means shorn of the
handsome jewelry she possesses.
In speaking of the recent theft of her
brooch by Brooklyn young woman,
who also forged Mrs. Leslie's checks,
she said that she had never been more
completely deceived.
"Why, the girl was so deadly respect
able! And as for her claiming to be
only twenty-one, she must be thirty.
She told me she was twenty -one, and /

mud is deep outside and not less disturbing

Machinery hall, the slowest of the main
structures has lately donned its exterior
finish, and becomes a vast and striking
spectacle. But for the nearness of the
colossal Manufactures building, Machin-
cry hall would pass for marvel among
capacious buildings. 1t has three parallel
rows Of steel arches, and this with its
towers and portals, presents perhaps more
complex interior than any of the other
great halls, for they usually have but one
room-there is but one room in the Mines,
the Transportation, the Electricity the
Manufactures and the Government.
The Agricultural has II most agreeable
interior, broken with crosslike upper hall
of skylights. We may fancy the JOY with
which our farmers, shutting away the
sights of the north-the music, soda water,
swans, gondolas and jinrikshas of city
life-wil1 plunge into the joys of fat vege-
tables, heroic grains and sleek beasts that
will await all comers south of the Agricul-
tural. Spread oyer this floor, nearly 800 feet
square, or 4000O square feet, and south
ward outside for half mile will be such
an agricultural fair as the world has never

asked the Mississippi valley to make
presentation of it's native wealth. The
stock pavilions are pretty and far away.
The city man will praise them vociferously
at a distance. The farmer will praise the

A Brave Young Bugler.

The erection of monuments in mem
ory of military heroes is as much of a
craze in France as it ever was. The
latest man to be thus honored is Andre.
He it was who distinguished himself at
Arcola. Bonaparte hesitated to storm
the bridge in the face of hot and
steady fire from the Austrians on the
opposite side of the river. Andre, a
young bugler, leaped into the water,
swan to the other bank, rushed into
the enemy's ranks and began blowing
his bugle. The Austrians were so as
tonished and excited that for moment
they believed themselves surrounded,
and taking instant advantage of their
situation Napoleon stormed the bridge
and captured it. The intrepid bugler
seems entitled to monument. .-Terre

DIANA ON THE AGRICULTURAL BUILDING.
A farmer visited Chicago last week. He
was taken past all of the 1913 structures that
go to make the exposition. He was led to
the Masonic temple and told that 72,000
persons rode in the elevators Oct. 20, 1892.
He was shown where, fifteen stories up, the
botanist fell out of the elevator. The farm
er was lifted the full twenty-one stories,
until Ossa became like wart. He there
viewed the glory of Chicago-but he said
never word AS he mounted the train to
return home he was asked, did you see
anything wonderful in Chicago?" and then
he admitted that one thing had startled
him. and what, readers, was it? The size
of pumpkin he had passed in front cf a
restaurant on Madison street, Certainly
among pumpkinsl
These agriculturists, 1.-The great plain
people of the west" will all hurry to see
Chief Buchanan and Chief Cottrell of the
live stock. The space allotted them is am
pie, and hundreds Of thousands of specta-
tors can there pass the day without being
even seen north of the great screen which
runs from Machinery hall east to the Agri
cultural, screening Venice from the mud
lagoons.
1t will be the largest fair of history
Compared with it the Paris exposition of
1889 could be put in Midway plaisance

long as our big one, but only half as wide,
and out of our 1928 structures two others
are to be measured only by the acre, Ma
chinery hall alone having 7S0, 900 square feet
of lower floor.
No mind will seize the details; few will
measure or espy the fair as whole. The art
gallery, the manufactures, the states, the
flowers, the machinery, the electricity, the
mines, the fisheries, the transportation, the
agricultural-to him who has deep interest
in any one of these what time will he have
to study the others, or the hundred mu-
seums of rare and curious things that will
lie so thickly about-like that convent of
Rabida, with all the Spanish and Roman
relics-the very map on which Alexander
Borgia made the line that set the sailors to
sea in all directions?
From the Forestry to the Eskimos is
one mile and three-fifths; from the Forestry
to the Dahomey village is two miles and a
fifth-these figures by the map The island
itself is two-fifths of mile long Suppose
you have onlya day and tarry ten minutes
to see this phonograph or this jacquard
boom, you will see comparatively nothingl
But the fair is more than multifarious
1t is beautiful. 1t speaks in one tone.
Rare and rarely sad must be the soul that
will not be elated on beholding in America
the realization of SO many happy dreams.

A Child,s Dog in France.

The little girls of Paris who own pet
dogs, and, for that matter, the little boys,
too, are in much distress about tax
which was recently levied upon all pet
dogs. According to this Paris dog tax,
all dogs that are kept merely as pets are
subject to a tax of two dollars every
year.
"Only two dollarsw exclaims some
little girl whose papa has plenty Of
money. "Why, my papa would pay ten
times as much for my Fido."
Yes, dear child, but think how many
dear little girls there are whose papas
cannot pay to keep pet Fidos or Dodos.
Yet poor little girls love their pets just
as we'll as rich ones.-Paris Letter.

The paintiost petticoat of AN.

A dainty petticoat is of blue and white
striped silk, finished with frill of black
lace that has for its heading five rows
of black beading, through which is run
pale blue Tom Thumb ribbon. This lace
founce is up on the silk and not below
it, and the skirt itself is lined through
out with very thin black silk and finished
underneath with a pinked ruffle of the
same. By this arrangement the skirt is
rendered-a little warmer, and the silk
and lace do not have so much hard wear
given them.-Ladies Home Journal.

The Century Clubs House.

The New Century club of Whining
ton, an organization of but four years
growth, has commenced the erection of
the first distinctively woman's clubhouse
in the country. The building is being
designed by woman-Minerva Parker
Nichols, of Philadelphia-and will be
owned and controlled entirely by wom-
en-. The object of the organization is to
extend the sphere of woman's influence,
to increase her self reliance and to ad-
vance her mental growth.

The Table Napkin.

Curiously enough, that article now con-
sidered almost indispensable, the table
napkin, was first used only by children
and was only adopted by elder members
of the family about the middle of the
Fifteenth century. Inetiquette books of
an earlier date than this, among other
sage pieces of advice for children are
instructions about wiping their fingers
and lips with their napkins. =
1t seems that the tablecloth was long
enough to reach the floor and served the
grown people in place of napkins. When
they did begin to use napkins they placed
them first on the shoulder, then on tho
left arm and finally tied them about the
neck.-Youth's Companion.

Work in New Orleans.
For some time it has been favorite
Idea with many of us to have celebra-
tion at which the deeds of the pioneer
women of New England should be
vaunted as the deeds of the pioneer men
of New England have been set forth by
the two great societies of New York and
Brooklyn. For years the ''Sons of the
Pilgrims" have gathered to do honor to
their forefathers. 1t is high time that
the Daughters of the Pilgrims" should
gather to do honor to the foremothers.
At these masculine feasts it has been the
custom for men to assemble at great
tables, eating of good things, drinking
wine, and then later making speeches in
which they eulogized the achievements
of their ancestors-never word of the
ancestresses, never a hint of what
women suffered, never a note of graft
tude for their aid nor of tenderness for
their memory. Sometimes the wives
and daughters of the men present have
been permitted to look on at the dinner,
sitting hungry and silent in a gallery
while the men enjoyed the good things
on the tables and then waxed eloquent
in praise of their sex, but never has
woman had an equal share in the enter
tainment.
Now the time has come when we pro-
pose to do honor to the pilgrim mothers
We intend to spread our feast, and
when we have partaken of it over our
tea or coffee we will have speeches in
eulogy of the great deeds of the pioneer
women of the land. Among those to
make addresses are Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker,
Rev. Anna H. Shaw, Mrs. Charlotte
Emerson Brown, Mrs. Carrie Lane Chap
man, Mrs. Jennie M. Lozier and Mrs.
Mary A. Chapman.
1t may be asked why we have our din
ner on Dec. 23 instead of on the 22d, the
usually accepted day of the landing of
the pilgrims. For the very excellent
reason that the landing was not made
until the Esd. The journal of William
Bradford, who came out ON the May
flower, and was afterward the famous
governor of Massachusetts, recounts
with particularity~ the events of each
day. On the 21st there was recon
noissance. A party went ashore from
the Mayhower in small boat, but re-
turned to the ship. The 22d was stormy.
The wave tossed vessel lay off shore, and
the only event of Importance mentioned
is that a woman on the ship was ''de-
ivered of son, dead born" The real
landing-that is, the going ashore of
many persons, some of whom remained
was made on the Esd. The day of the
landing has long been in dispute be-
tween the different societies. The Brook
lyn society celebrates the 21st as being
the first day of going ashore, while the
New York society has long held its fes-
tival on the 22d, day memorable, as
we have seen, only for the anguish of
the woman.-New York Cor. Woman's
Journal

Rights of Working Women.

There are 250, 900 women in New York
sity, exclusive of the domestic service,
who are breadwinners-who have no
male protectors and no means of support
other than their own efforts. Though
there are S43 trades open to them, an
advertisement for one worker often
brings hundred applicants. Many of
them are obliged to accept whatever
wages are offered them. There are
trained sewing women in this city work
ing nineteen hours day for 25 cents.
Boys knee pants bring 50 cents dozen,
trousers from 1879 to 95 cents and shirts
from 614 to 1917 cents. To work as
prisoners for crime would be respite to
many of them. The injustice, the op-
preston and the suffering of these $780,

The shopgirls weary hours of standing
after she is through the thousand de-
mands made upon herl Such inhuman-

Picking Ont Partners.

A novel way of choosing partners has
become the rage in some of the western
towns. AT party sheet is stretched
across the room; the ladies stand behind
it and advance their feet a few inches
beyond the sheet. Each gentleman picks
out pair of shoes, and the lady who
stands in them is the one he takes down
to supper.-New York Ledger
