woMAN's DEVOTION.

Last night, while taking supper in an
uptown restaurant, | could not avoid
hearing at the table next TO us a dis
cussion on the possible marriage between
the daughter of IA late millionaire and a
certain actor, writes a correspondent Of
the New York Press.
A man about town, in immaculate
evening dress, chaste linen and snowy
.carnation in the lapel OF his coat, and
who had also auburn whiskers and an air
of thinking very well of himself, re-
marked with positive conviction in his
voice: "No danger whatever of such a
match. The old man left his daughters
SIG, 600, 00) each, with the understand
ing that if they married against the
wishes of the executors they would
forfeit half the amount. No girl in her
senses, don't you know, would throw up
81, 900, 600 for any man"
A woman's voice, with a touch of
resentment, replied "Not give up half
she had for the man she loved? How
many women have given up ALL"

PoyERTY.spotLzp WOMEN.

IL comes hard 10 the woman Of small
means aud luxurious tastes 70 keep well
within her income and abreast OF the
times, but n little sound sense in the way
Of finding out short cuts to economy will
work wonders, says the Chicago Times.
The woman who has learned TO make
a good appearance upon next 10 nothing
becomes an object Of envy to her less
fortunate sisters. IL is a question of in
vestigation, of watching sales, of shop
ping properly, Of making a dollar buy a
dollars worth Of goods, or even two
dollars worth sometimes. And only
that severe teacher, experience, will
teach all this. A woman can be dig
nifed even il she is poor; nor should she
feel that because poverty has flung its
sombre cloak around her she should draw
its folds still closer and hide herself from
the pure sunshine of the world or the
kindly friendship Of her friends. Too
many women are inclined, when poor,
to withdraw into a shell, snail fashion,
and become grabbed and poverty spoiled.
only a few days ago a woman who had
been rather prominent socially, but had,
because of her husbands losses, with
drawn herself from her former friends,
was actually rejoicing at the hard times.
81 know | ought not 10 say it, but | am
glad that everyone is having to econo-
mize. I've had the start on the rest of
my friends, so | can do it more grace
fully than they. Besides, if they're all
in the same box with me, | don't mind
going among them again, and I've been
s%wfully lonely lately"
Misery likes company, but there is no
reason why poverty should mean misery.
Poverty is not the greatest Of crimes, as
people seem TO suppose. There
are lots of things worse than that, and
wealth is not the alpha and omega Of
happiness.
The woman Of fine nature will accept
this fact gracefully and by her example
help many "A disheartened woman TO look
on the bright side Of life, to look her
finances %squarely in the face and avoid
out her money in unnecessary ex-
penditure. BY a bit of foresight a small
sum Of money can work wonders, as the
active woman who has learned it all well
knows.

FUR COLL

The fashionable small pieces Of fur
this season are called collars. but are

tips, and many are pointed to the waist
in front aud back alike. One of the
most effective and becoming pieces is the
double collar of mink cut very full,
reaching over the sleeve tops, pointing
to the waist IL front, but round and
short across the back, and finished with
a hariug high collar. The gay brocadcd
or MORE lining is an important feature
of these collars, as they are quickly re-
moved when in the house, and their rich
lining is en- evidence. Other larger
collars pointed to the waist line in front
and back are Of sealSkin, edged with
chiuchilla. Double collars are also made
of black velvet bordered with fluffy
black fox fur. with also a high haring

Christmas gift for bachelor, maiden or
matron.
To make one Of these bags begin by
making n narrow hem across both ends
Of n half yard of ribbon. two and a half
inches wide, with sewing silk Of the
same shade. Then the ribbon should be
doubled, the right side out, and the two
edges o%vcrhanded neatly together, be-
ginning about an inch from the top.
This closes one side Of the bag. The
next step is TO feathcr-stitch across the
ribbon in three places, as shown in the
picture, to form the divisions. The
stitching should be taken through both
thICknesses Of ribbon, and the three
rows then measured from the bottom
the first row an inch and three. quarters
from the lower edge, the second an inch
and three quarters higher. and the third
an inch and a half highs yet.
Next the open side should be over
handed from the upper row Of stitching
to the point opposite. Now the little
~button-bag is all finished, except the
drawing strings for the top. Six little
Sits, like tiny button holes, should be
cut in each side, and worked in button
hole stitch with the sewing silk. Baby
ribbon Is the best for the two drawing
strings, which should be run from the
opposite sides.
The next step Is to covS< a piece of
cardboard with flannel or cashmere. and
sew a little bow of ribbon at one end
for "A handle. The card should be cut
to fit the space just below the button
bag.
Two spools of thread, one black and
one white. should then be slipped into
the lower pockets, ana'.he open ends
overhanded.
The lettering on the needle pocket
adds a little touch Of decoration, if de-
sired, and is very pretty done in gold or
a contrasting color.

OH as Fuel.

During last week there have been ex.
periments at Thornclitfe Iron Works.
Sheffield, which are bound &c have an
important influence some day on the coal
trade of the country. In common with
other large manufacturers Mcssrs. New
ton, Chambers X Co, Limited. have been
compelled 10 shut down certain depart
meuts owing to their failure to obtain
coal AMI coke. The firm own extensive
ranges or coke %"ovens." After the coal
has been deposited in the ''ovens" they
are closed, and the smoke and gases are
drawn away by a fan. forced through
pipes, and condensed. The result is oil,
containing a large percentage of heat.
L. Smith, consulting director, conceived
the idea that this oil might be applied
as a substitute for coal for heating boil
ers, etc. The large boilers which supply
steam to nearly all the machinery near
the blast furnaces were selected for
experiments
The oil is placed in a cistern owe the
firing place, and by means of steam jets
forced under the boilers, where il is
ignited, the result being flames Of intense
heating power, sufficient to produce
steam of a pressure Of eighty pounds to
100 pounds. The results Of the expert
ments are highly satisfactory. and as the
cos. Of the oil is nothing compared with
the price of coal, the new fuel will. no
doubt, receive the attention OF msnufac-
urers.-lBlackburn Times.

inhabitants, gives some interesting fig

depth of only 100 feet the pressure is
IL pounds 10 each square iach of the
divers body surface. The ordinary
sumsn frame has about l2 sou IRE feet of

at he depth mentioned above not less
