The organization of chimney sweepers
is fast running down, and the business is
being done by tin and roofing shops. The
Order of Chimney Sweepers is very old
one, having been formed over two centu-
ries ago and nearly 100 years ago in the
United States New York was headquar-
tiers, and the sweep either had credentials
from the society in London or served an
apprenticeship in New York. The cry,
which is so made that few can tell its
meaning, is, "Sweep, sweep, o! Pm a
chimney sweep! Pm New York sweep,
or If any one made this cry who was
not mem Der of the organization, he was
summariy dealt with. The chimney
sweeps at one time cleared on an average
from So to SO day, and when they were
not going the rounds might be taken for
prosperous business men. Changes were
made in the construction of tues which
materially reduced their income, and the
days of the chimney sweep are very nearly
over. What work there is is done by roof
ers, who hire nonprofessionals.-N York

very rapidly. the citizens believing that
it was destined at an early time to be
larger than Bloomington, Peoria or

was billed to speak there elaborate prep

order to surpass all other towns. First

foot with flags, then carriages contain
ing the city officials and the distin-
guished guest, then citizens in carriages
and on foot were to march in process
sion. Every vehicle in the place had
been engaged except an express wagon
that operated as the town dray. Even
the hack that usually conveyed passen-
gers from the depot to the hotels was
put into requisition, and the express
wagon took its place as a bus. The only
thing that was left undone was to OBJ
tain information of the fact that the
train changed time on that day and
came in two hours earlier than usual.
1T came in, and two passengers
alighted- Hon. Richard Oglesby and a
Methodist preacher. They were placed
in the express wagon and started for
the hotel. The master of ceremonies
for the day heard OF it in some way and
Immediately notified the leader of the
band, who was a perfo"- AZ on the fife.
That worthy lost a. judgment, and not
seeing any OF IT,, other musicians ran
up the street until he espied the express
wagon. Then making profound bow
to the governor and preacher he walked

step guided them. mp the street to the
tune of Behold the Conquering Hero

to ever tell it, and the citizens of Lin

tired of relating how he and the gov
ernor of Illinois were escorted to the

Uoman's Work For Women.

Speaking to the subject, "Woman's
Work for Woman" Miss Mary A. Jordan,
instructor at Smith college, said: "When
we look over the field of literature, and
consider the type of women's character
that seems to have made itself felt by men
best BILE to express it to the world, we
feel a severe disappointment. There is
want of sympathy between the recording
mind of the world and the women best fit
ted to represent their class. In the last
few years Thomas Hardy and George Mer-
edith have presented types which they re-
gard as representative, and yet no woman
would be willing to accept them as her
ideal. They represent women as subject
to jealousy, aud if they cannot have their
own way unhappy, sometimes even trag-
ic. Something of this, | fear, is true, and
if there is a work that women have to do
for women it is to teach them so to control
their feelings that they will not demand
to own everything they love. | feel fear
for every girl who writes that she is about
to be married and adds, Now am about
to have something of my own feel
like answering, My dear, do not be too
sure In this tendency to jealousy is the
only excuse for the caricatures of our Dor
cas- societies and mothers meetings which
have furnished so much sport to humor-

81 was thinking of Jefferson in Rip Van
Wrinkle went to see the dear old thing
one night, and in the scene where thu
ghosts play ninepins soft rubber or wooden
balls were evidently used, for they rolled
noiselessly and dropped with an almost
imperceptible sound. thought how diff
ferently some others might have staged
that. Mansfield, for instance, would prob
ably have real balls, and the illusion
would have been destroyed utterly. As it
was, the game was as ghostly as the game
sters. In the treatment of that important
character, Schneider, the same thought
impressed itself upon me. Rips dog is as
distinct to ones mental vision as Rip him
self, yet he does not once appear.
If an actual dog-a stub tailed bull ter
rier perhaps-should come on the stage, it
would merely burlesque the entire scene.
1t is case where realism would not be
half as realistic as imagination, don't you
see?-BostOn Advertiser

A method of treating patients by plac-
ing them in large spiral of wire charged
with alternating currents has been de-
scribed to the Paris Academy of Sciences
by M. d'Arsonval When the coil is
charged with rapid alterations, the in
duced currents produced in the patient 5
body are shown by placing a glow lamp
betw cen his hands, when the filament is
raised to incandescence. The influence
of this treatment on the processes of nu-
triton is said to be good, the absorption
and elimination of oxygen being largely
increased Electrical Review.

English as she is spoke by the English

the care of her own bedroom until the de-
