THE SENSIBLE WOMAN IS A GEM.
She Never Does n Thing Simply because
Other Are Doing It.

A crusty old bachelor once said that
a sensible woman was the noblest and
the iarest work of God. His audience
was composed of congenial friends, aud
he was not disputed, SO he continued:
"The sensible women who are born
into this world outnumber those who
leave it six to one"
Got the figures to provo that?"
asked q reporter.
mo; but you can't prove that I'm
wrong. My statement is ah axiom
and will be acknowledged MS sucl, be-
fore long"
"What becomes of the sensible
women who don't die?" was the next
question.
"lhcy die fools; spoiled in the bring
ing up"
A sensible woman begins early in
life to show her prevailing character
istic. AS 4 child she can be reasoned
into obedience when she cannot be
coaxed or driven, and, though it
would be idle TO attach undue impor-
lance to The bachelors opinions as
given above, it is wise to remember
that wise impulses may be changed 10
bad ones by improper training.
The sensible woman does not allow
disqualification to persuade her to do
that which is contrary to reason or
sound Judgment. She never loves q
man so dearly, Notwithstanding his
bad habits, which she despiscs, that
"she cannot give him Up" Her good
sense tolls her that love is short-livcd
| nningc faI w Hrae1aart and also i,nt nj,
affection which is weaker than Il bad
habit is scarcely worth having.
The sensible woman never does a
thing simply because every one else is
doing it, but because she has decided
that She may safely do it. She cares
just enough about the opinion of her
ncighbors and nom too much. She
who does not care what others think
of her is lacking either in good sense
or morality. She whose first thought
is "What will folks say?" lacks good
sense and the iirmncss TO do what she
believes to be right regardless of con-
sequences The sensible woman is tho
medium between these two extremes.
In times of trouble one turns invol.
unfairly to the sensible woman. 9th
era may be favored companions when
the skies are clear, but under the
clouds are MS Useless ms n lace shawl
in n snowstorm. But the sensible
woman knows you are human, and al
though that may have seemed prosaic,
when your f~air-wcatler friends are
comparing you with the angels you
are not grateful. She does not gnsli,
or look ~scandalizcd, or say al told you
So" or become sentimental, or try to
convince you That she has suffered
worsej you know at orcc that she un-
derstahds that she Is not wanting in
appreciation or sympathy, and TINT
shn will help you if you will let her.

A very curious industry was estab

tahk Notes at the present time is more
like ordinary printing than the fine
work of the bureau. All national bank
notes have their charters and seals put
on by the surface process, and there
are a dozen or lnure Hoe presses which
are working away finishing the en-
Rfnved notes for the national banks.
The national bank note plates are all
the same, but the bureau has had to
make new plates for some of the banks,
and the engravers and the plate print
ers have been turning out the original
notes for this printing at lightning

the exception of this surface Drifting.

OF hand presses, each of which is
worked by a printer and his assistant.
The printers are of all ages and their
assistants are all women. l noticed
that some of the women were colored,
Ana o n few of them are as black as
the ace OF spades. The printers are
paid so much and they have to hire
their own assistants; They are not al

they have TO take the women which the

with their sleeves rolled up 10 their
elbows and their arms covered with
green ink.

two metal rollers between which there
is a slab Of iron running on four guide
wheels. The printer first puts his plate

surplus of ink off with his hand and d
