A Woman oorse. Drummer.

Mrs. Kate B. Henry of New York drums" up trade for corset manufac- turer. Mrs Henry's territory Is across country from the Battery to Golden Gate. She carries trunk with 75 sam pies, and when she is not in the factory getting special orders silcd she is on the road. She is pretty little woman, quick witted, intelligent, good talker and very businesslike. She doesn't read books, but people. The trade is her study When she starts out to get an order from dealer, she succeeds, know ing at the start whether it is worth while giving her time to him. People want sympathy above everything else, and her plan is to oFupply it--with smiles and eloquent silence. The man 8'ho keeps the store pours out his troubles feels better and full of gratitude and asks, "What have you got?" The W Jm- en in trade have nerves, hired girls, ba- hies and debts, and after hearing all about them the enterprising little drum mer manages to sell something Mrs Henry is too shrewd to attempt any dress reforming. She finds out what the trade wants and talks it up whether 1t is double breasted corset, with high aeck and suspenders, made of jeans and loaded with steel and straw, or low cut, short hip featherTeight Frunoh dc. sign in fine coutille. Her sales a'e as large as any man'siIf thy establishment. her bills of e1peuse are smaller, she ir we'll paid and highly thought of by her associates and customers. New York World.

One Woman. Way.

When awoman lives alone in the city, as Q great many clerks in the department do, there IS ono problem above all others with which she is onfronted--namely that of going about at night It is not always that there are fellow clerks in the same boarding house who feel inclined to go to the theater or go calling at the same time though Then parties, " as the exclusively female theater expeditions are facetiously termed, are frequent makeshift Of course there are good many nice young men who would glad ly serve as escorts, but they are not al ways wanted, and sometimes when they are wanted they are not to be had
 There is one woman at least who has solved the problem for herself in a way that is somewhat novel Awoman alone on the street at night in stylish clothes, such as most of the independent young women of the departments wear, is much more apt to be the subject of unfavor- able attention than one not so distin- guished. But The average girl does not want to wear all her old clothes for the sake of being incmspicuoUs, and the young lady in question has provided her self with long, plain, black cloak and little close fitting widows cap, with bewitching white ruching inside it.
 Thusarlned and equipped she can sally forth with all her best finery protected beneath the Quakerish cloak, and there is not one man in 500 who would not respectfully give her the whole width of the sidewalk as she walks meekly forth to some meTTymaking. Washington pOst

Mr.. lIoINyie on NYo4nan.. Aaranc...

The wonderful advance in the condi. tion of women which the last go years have brought about makes me little tiiffident of my ability to prophesy con corning the future of the sex, At the be- ginning of the first of these decadee few would have fosetold tho great exteaSsoa of educational eppcrtunities, the open ing of the professions the multiplication Of profitable industrial pursuits, all of which have comeinst to place women before the world in the attitude of ener- getic, self supporting meaeers of soci- ety.
 Even the SeSeG suffrage eeestion has made great progzess during the time specified, pushing itself slowly and steadily forward until in three states in the Union it has attained an impregna- blo position, while in several others 1t has partial efficiency and rec ,gnition.
 The changes which I foresee are all further developments of the points al- ready gained teel assured that in the near future the eo-bperation of women in municipal Rnd in state affairs will be not ooiS ueSlreu, but demanded by men of pure and worthy citizenship
 Mothers, wives, sisters will no longer stand as suppliants before the state leg islatures, asking that they may become politically the equals of men who pro fess to treat them as superiors. but who really combine to keep them in state of perpetual minority. ...-
 rhe true progress of civilization is from the assumption of privilege to the recognition of right In our country this progress already embraces tho whole of one sex. The laws of moral equilibrium will speedily place the other sex in an equal condition, exalting the yiignities of domestic life and making the home altar rich with the gifts of true patriot ism and wise public spirit --Julia Ward Howe

 Then another short silence, while the hand travelled up to the bonny head of hair that crowned her form.
 Slowly and painfully he drew out the hairpii.s, one by one, and the tresses fell down over her shoulders onto the blood stained coyerlet

Ah HIstorld'Pen.

Whenever the ex-empress of the French writes about her lamented husband, she invariably uses the diamond pen which signed the treaty of Paris. Each of the IA plenipotentiaries wanted to keep tho pen with which he signed the Paris trea- ty as memento of the occasion. They, however, yielded to the request of the Empress Eugenie, who begged that only onepen should be used, which should be retained by her as souvenir. Only one pen was accordingly used. It was 8 quill plucked from a golden eagles wing and richly mounted with diamonds and gold.-London Tit-Bits.

A Woman Dog FaneIer.

A New York woman has recently t1rned her attention to the breeding of the tiny dogs which of late years have been 50 fashionable, and recent bench show demonstrated her success beyond peradyenture. She has sold acollie from her kennel for $500, and other sales of equal importance are now being nego. tiated' As a dog fancier she brings to bear all the intelligence of man and more sympathy The mothers of the wee doggies receive an amount of care at her hands that they hhve never known be- fore, and the result is that the various breeds cannot help being improved Why should not this field of labor sug- gest similar ones to women?

BIRD HUI, Mp. June 9th. 1893.

BIRD HILL, Md, June 9th, 1898.
Dir. John S. Mathias-Dear Sir II feel
as though it would be a duty left undone-
and one | owe to yourself and to suffering
humanity-if did not tell of the wonderful
benefit received from your kind treatment.
!! suffered for about twenty years with Piles
for the first seven or eight years, not so
severely, but for the last twelve years l suf-
fered more than | am able to describe on
paper. Indeed / had them in their severest
form. | applied to a number of doctors, and
tried every remedy that heard of, only to be
disappointed, and in nearly every instance
not even temporary relief Indeed, was in
pitifnl condition when | called on Won.
Think of nine large tunors protruding, capable
of bleeding fully pint at every time they
bled. was so weak and nervous from loss
of blood and from intense suffering, that /
did not think life worth living any longer
But thanks to you and your kind treatment
can say that the Piles are a thing of the
past. | cannot find language to express my
gratitude to you for your kind treatment and
attention in my case, and humbly pray to
God that your life may be a long and prosper
GUS one. Let me say in conclusion that can
with confidence recommend any sufferer, no
matter how bad his case may be, to 90 to
DR.. JOHN S. MATTHIAS and be cured.
You are at liberty to nse this letter as you
see fit. Every sufferer wishing to know
more about my case can find out by adj
dressing at my postofice. Very truly yours,
