SHE FURNISHED DETAILS.

Stared Out of Patience, Young Woman
Rebuked Her Fellow Passengers.
She sat in the corner of a Broadway
cable car nearest the gripman. She knew
that she was the cynosure of all eyes
among the passengers, and she felt the
situation keenly 1t was of no use to
affect unconsciousness, for the color
came and went with the rapidity of the
gripman's gong. giving the lie to any
such affectation, and she knew it. Ev-
cry block the car travelled added to the
attention she attracted, and the litter
ing became more and more audible. She
had but one course open to her, and she
took it SO quickly that the we'll dressed
men and women passengers who had
been amused at her appearance were
surprised.
II know that you are all looking at
me-" she said, suddenly sitting forward
in her seat, SO as to command a full
view of the car, land know that you
are thoroughly enjoying yourselves at
my expense. I'm glad of it, and for fear
you will lack important details when
you describe me to your relatives and
friends I'll give them to you myself To
begin with, the style of this bonnet,
which amuses you so much, was copied
from one worn by my grandmother and
her grandmother before her The pat
tern of this dress dates back so far that
I can leave it entirely to your imagina-
tion without the slightest fear of your
dot Tho IL,
is-just as you will speak of it when
you go home-as large as small sized
teacup, has been in the family since its
earliest representatives landed on Plym-
outh rock, and this gingham umbrella
has history that would keep your met
ropolitan humorists busy for year and
be worth its weight in gold as fecund
source Of inspiration. The basket speaks
for itself and needs no further descrip-
tion.

By this time those among the passen-
gers who were not buried behind friend
lynewspapers found objects of the great
est interest to observe ON the street, and
the speaker waited vainly for reply.
Finally she settled back i'll her corner,
with sigh, and said III disappointed

The Bad Heroine.

There is still another type of heroine
which has not as yet to any great extent
invaded English literature-the vicious,
the reprehensible heroine. She abounds
in the French novels, both old and new.
Balzac had studied her profoundly
vide Nine. Marneffe in Cousin Bette.5'
Flaubert dissected her with medical
skill and severity in Mime Bovary. I"
Daudet demonstrated her destructive
ness in "Formont Jeune ct Risler Aine, :"
Jack, " "Sappho. etc. Among the
British novelists Malock has expert
mented with her considerably, but she
has not struck root in English soil. She

Is In British fiction, it would be mat

REMEM MBRANCE.

When, in the first wild throes Of grief,
The sick heart turns from all relief,
And backward counting, sad and slow,
An hour, a week, month ago
To days ere yet une light had flown
From those dics=- oyes we called our own,
We ask Of God the seal to set.
"How long, o Lord, ere we forgetp"
For still to live through unknown years,
Lost voices ringing in our ears,
Lost faces held in memory's grasp,
Lost hands that never more we clasp,
And feet whose steps have died away
Walking beside US day by day,
Seems all too hard for loves regret,
And so we pray, "Let us forgetW
But when above life's troubled springs
We feel the stir of angels wings,
And his dear blessing, sweet and slow,
Drops on the wounded hearts below;
When faith ascends the golden stair
OF love and hope and trust and prayer,
Though grief and pain may linger yet
We would not, if we could, forgeti

of the municipal council. two represen- tatives of the employers union, and two from the local labor unions. The membership fee was set at eight cents a month. the contribution from the city treasury at 5oo0 francs. or about A,ooo. a year. and for further contributions to the fund the employers union and the public at large were looked to. Only those out of employment through no act of their own are subject to bene- fit; those leaving their work w!lfully are debarred. The headquarters, which are well heated and provided with newspapers. benches and tables. are open only through the three win ter months. employment being com paratively easy to obtain at other times. A person registering as unem- ployed Is required to answer roll call twice day. Those failing to respond arc fined half days benefits. which amount to lis francs a day, or twenty nine cents, for married men or single men supporting family, and one franc or i9.3 cents, for single men without dependents. These are small sums, but 1t should be remembered that the pur- chasing power of franc in Swtzer- land Is far greater than its equivalent with us. The unemployed who are not members have the privilege of visiting the headquarters. Benefits are paid weekly. The membership for the first year was over 400. and members ac- cepted work promptly when provided. Our consul at Zurich, MT. Eugene Cor main. reports that the results are very satisfactory to the authorities and citi- zens. The small scale upon which the system is organized is due to the fact that the Swiss capital has character being without extensive manufacturing interests, and the work of the govern ment in its various branches furnishes the leading occupations for the inhab- itants, who number about 50,000. A sys- tenn of insurance against idleness is also under consideration in Brussels.

is the famous Barnegat sneak-box. This boat is suitable for either shallow or deep water. She has no depth to speak of. but she is broad of beam. and has, therefore large amount of"initial stability" as 1t Is called Initial stabill- ity means simply the natural tendency of boat to stay right side up with out the aid of ballast. and this tenden- cy Is always larger in wide boats than in, narrow ones. The raeing-shell of the oarsmen. for instance, has hardly any initial stability at all. The sneak box has a spoon-shaped bow. and this causes her to skim over the tops of the waves instead of cutting through them. She makes great spiashing when she has the sea against her. but she sails like a ghost. It was from this pecu- liar type of craft that the celebrated designer Mir. Nat Herreshoff. got the idea of the remarkable bow which he put on the Gloriana. That form of bow became highly popular. and most of the raclng-yachts built since the ap- pearance of the Gloriana have it, or a modification of 1t. The extremely shal- low fln-keel yachts like the Pilgrim are simply enlarged sneak-boxes. with fixed centre board of much depth and weight.

The sleeves have bell cuffs faced with satin.
 Butter lace keeps it's place and ap- pears on many wool gowns now being put on the market. A new notion is the heading of great frif1s with lace. This allows one to put all the more material into the frill, for, of course
 the lace would gather more closely than would the heavy wool stuff. It is imperative that the edge of the mate. rial on to which the lace is fastened should be cut to meet the various points of the edge of the lace, and that the attaching be done with buttonhole stitch in butter silk, All this, it need hardly be said. will add to the dress. makers bill but the woman with more time and taste than money can do il herself, and it will be just as satisfac. tory 'FLORETTE.

4 PROMISING EXPERIMENT.

Some form of insurance against idle-
 ness is one of the needs of the times,
 An interesting experiment in this line
 is going on in Berne, Switzerland. It
 was begun in 1893, and its object was to induce workingmen themselves to make some provision against lack of work, while at the same time the city undertook to do its fair share, and subscriptions were asked from indi- viduals and from. the manufacturers union. The experience gained by a commission on the. unemployed organ ized in the Swiss capital in 1892 led to the conclusion that g. permanent or ganization, upon a broader basis, was desirable. In consequence of the com- missions recommendation a labor in- formation burea was established by the municipal council. In connection with this. a mutual aid insurance as- sociation was organized, under the con- trol of a committee of seven. This committee consists of three members

to divert part of the water of the Colorado river to the greatest depres- sion Of the desert, thus forming a vast lake from which canals can be built to convey water to a large area of land. To-day the desert more nearly resem- bles ones idea of the internal regions than perhaps any known region of the explored world. The promoters talk hopefully of transforming this waste into an Eden of palms, orchards and al- falfa and barley fields. where half a million people may find Bustenance, Plans have been made. and work on canals in the country bordering on the Colorado river is already started. Another grand project Is the watering of the Mojave desert, which lies to the north of the Colorado desert. Of this enterprise correspondent says: IL would seem an impossibility to irrigate desert where not q drop of water Is seen flowing within fifty or n hundred
 miles: where even the considerable stream of the Mojave river (so calleD either evaporates into the arid air or Is drunk up by the thirsty sand. and only the dry bed indicates that water ever flows. and then only in case of a rain or waterspout in the mountains. A Californian has peculiar philosophy; he says. "if you don't see water on the surface of rivers channel. 1t must be under it." On this theory at Dagget. on the Atlantic and Pacific railroad, an irrigation company is constructing canal fourteen feet below the dry river bed, and the surprising thing is that they are able to partly fill their canal with seepage water Within year 5000 acres have been reclaimed and put into alfalfa fields and fruit farms.

sTUMP-spE4KERS AND IDIOTS.

The Indiana farmer who has sued Congressman Bynum has raised some interesting questions. When Congress- man Bynum was bowling for Cleve- land and Prosperity he told this farmer and other farmers that their wheat would be $1.25 bushel if Cleveland was elected. On the strength of that prom> ise, this farmer says, he planted large amount of grain, which he has been obliged to sell for fifty cents a bushel; and he has now brought suit against Bynum for the difference of seventy-five cents bushel, amounting in all to $1,5O0
 Perhaps this suit will do something toward defining the responsibility of the great American political stump speaker. Hitherto he has not been generally supposed to have much re- sponsibility. His gorgeous visions and golden promises have been regarded with a large tolerance, and it has been recognized that he was doing his best | to earn his money or make himself solid with his party. He has occa- l sionally received, unpleasant hints in the shape of dead cats and rotten eggs, but as general thing he has pursued his wild and windy way un- enjoyed such freedom that he has come to think that he hasn't any limitations worth mentioning, and it will be an unpleasant surprise to him if the In- diana court tells Congressman Bynum l to pay the farmer the difference be- tween what he got for his wheat and l what Congressman Bynum told him he would get if Cleveland was elected. f | that is the outcome of the suit what a change it will make in political cam paigns and in political campaigners. ] Political campaigns conducted without gorgeous and false promises will hardly seem like the real thing, and political campaigners who realize their respon- l sibility for what they say will be tame and uninteresting creatures compared l with the unlimited and glorious liars who now love and lead the people.
 Perhaps the political stump speakers do not fear the outcome of the suit. If they do possibly they can do some thing to offset the attack by asking for an inquiry into the mental condi- tion of the man who has attempted to hold one of their number responsible for ante-election promises. Perhaps they can get him put into an asylum for idiots before his suit comes to trial, and so put a stop to the proceedings. They can argue with great plausibility that the country is full of people who are acknowledging that they were idiots to have faith in the same prom
 ises that were made to the Indiana farmer, and they can claim that he is
 an idiot because he did what all the
 other idiots did. If they can estab-
 fish their claim the result may be as
 useful to the people as the success of
 the farmers suit would be.
