Where Gold Is Plentiful.

G. NJ. Donnelly of New York, who made
an extended stay in the goldflelds of West

of some features of the life in that regoin
"Gold in that country" he said, "is more
plentiful than water. In going there you
must be prepared not only to get nothing
washed, but never to even wash yourself.
You wear your shirt until you can wear it
no longer, and then you discard it for an
other. Washing yourself is not to he

and even in that way it is hard to get

there would consider it almost crime for
a man to use water to battle in when there
are so many poor wretches who are nearly
perishing for drink. The men there lock
more like "A tribe of red Indians than civ

Women as Dramatists.

In the last century all literary young

brought her production to DIR. johnson

no fewer than IS plays, three of which,

Women Of Provence.

But there Is one thing in Aries that you
will need no guides of any kind to show
you. | mean the beauty of its women, who
are still naive or wise enough to wear the
little Arlcsian cap and voluminous hchu
OF course they have always been famous
for lovclness all over the world, yet moth
ing in other parts of the world will have
helped you to imagine them. The type is
peculiar to Provence, much more delicate
than Italian types, the very dark eyes and
hair contrasting with the whitest of skins
a spirited and yet an extremely poetic
type, and so refined SO aristocratic, that
its charm is not lost in old age. Neverthe
less not the type itself, but the frequency
of its perfect presentation is the most sur
prising, the most delightful fact.
Here an ugly woman, commonplace
looking girl, is the exception. Where five
or six are gathered together three at least
will be beauties, and the others will be
comely. Surely if these people are as
Greek as they like to think the sculptors
of ancient Greece needed their imagina-
tions less than we are accustomed to think.
Scores of times l cried to myself, This
one is the most beautiful of all. - But
best of all | now remember girl who,
with the true Arlesan face, had unbelicv-
able riches of red hair. She was more
beautiful than, in our unequal world, any
woman has any right to be. 1t was bear
able to look at her only because one felt
that very likely every man and woman in
Aries, including her splendid self, thought
the redness of her hair distressngly unfor-
tunate-Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer, in

Vegetable Visiting Cards.

Many are the uses to which he cac-
tus is put, but one of the queerest is
that which prevails in Cape Town,
South Africa, where cactus leaves are
made 10 serve the purpose of visiting
C ids. IL might occur TO the reader
that package of thick leaves covered
with prickly thorns would not be easily
accommodated in card case. The
leaves OF the special kind of cactus used
Tor this purpose are not very prickly,
however, AT d furthermore these unique
cards are not carried about, hut are
left growing on the plant which stands
by the front step. When lady calls
she has only to take her hat pin from
her bonnet and scratch her name on
the glossy surface of one of the leaves,
while gentlemen accomplishes the
same end with a sharp penknife. The
lines scratched turn silvery white and
remain clear and distinct on the le af
for years. On New Years day these
cactus cards are particularly convenient,
and popular hostesses often appropriate
large branch of their cactus plant to
the registry of visits received on that
day. There is one cactus, which is not
specially plentiful, which not on,y has
8 nooth leaves, but has spnes so large
and stiff that they make exce lent pens,
and visitors are saved even the slight
trouble OF drawing out hat pin or
a penknife.-PedrSon'S Weekly.

The Southern Girl.

There is one point at least where the
southern girl is the superior Of her visit
urs, and that is in her relation to her own
sex, says IL writer in the Boston Herald.
Let II strange girl come into southern
ballroom or reception or afternoon tea,
and she will find herself surrounded with
@ spirit of friendlincss and welcome Even
the ordeal Of the dressing room is turned
from Il trial to a privilege. She will find
kind faces to look pleasantly at her and
kind hands ready to render her any little
service, quite Independent Of the question
as to whether they know who she is or not.
She will find that she is not stared at,
either, with aIl ,oval or severity. If her
gown is beauu.u I'll, there will be no vulgar
curiosity about it, and if it is dowdy or
ugly there will be no supcrcilious criticism
of glance. Contrast all this with the
manner that obtains in Il dressing room in
the north and the advantage will un-
doubleday be- on the southern side.
In her manner of treating the opposite
sex the southern girl has also her own
way. She is more free and easy undouht
sdly, but close study of her will reveal
the fact that she is more apt to put man
on his honor than her sisters of other sec
tions are She is so unsuspicious of the pos
sibility of danger that that very fact great
ly decreases the danger. The best type of
southern girls may do in public what a
northern girl would consider fast, but the
chances are that her private actions would
contradict such an impression.
She has the southern attribute of spon-
taneous feeling and warmth of heart, and
this will always be found stronger in her
than conventionality.

Advocacy of the Greek Dress.

Lucasta--Whcn you advocate Greek
dress, you lose sight of another objection,
or rather defect, in it for our requirements
1t leaves the neck too bare.
Urbane-I should have said that that is
one of its great merits. The spring of the
neck from the shoulders is one of the
characteristic beauties of the human fig
urea beauty which the old Greek dress
displayed.
L.-Yes, and the old Greek dress was no
doubt suited to the old Greek life and to
the climate whore it was lived, but it
would not suit our ways and our climate
to have the neck bare all DAY and all tine
year.

habit, which may he altered. l have heard

that the craze for classical" dress in our
grandmothers' days, during which women
went about decollete and bare armed, in
flimsy clothes and wintry weather, result
ed in IA great increase of lung and throat
ailments
U.-On the other hand, have been told
that doctors strongly disapprove the muf-
fling up of the throat with "boas" and fur
tippets now so much in vogue.

A Good Razor.

razors only pillow. Razors need a rest. II
a man had 365 razors, he might shave
without extreme peril for years. There is

but do not deal such desperate wounds.

sympathy with Children.

The very first principle nect ssary as
the foundation of any true science of
motherhood is the principle of sympa-
thy. l mean by this hat the mother
must be able to enter into a real SYM
patty with her children. She must be
able to put herself In their place, and
Without this it will be impossible for
her to be either just or wise in her
training. We seem sometimes to for
get that children are human beings:
that they do not grow up into human
beings, but are born such, and as such
have all the human characteristics
We can, therefore, judge by our own
sensations just how child would be
affected by any given manner of treat
ment. The common nature is too lit
tie recognized. Many people seem to
think that in their behavior to children
accepted standards may be set aside.
Children as class are in a sense help
less and defenceless. The power which
controls them is absolute. Not infre-
quently parents and others take advan-
tage of this absolute power, and treat
children with a discourtesy and rude
ness, with an unkindness, injustice
and unfairness, that they would be
ashamed to exhibit toward grown peo-
Pile, and which, if shown, would be
judged worthy of general condemna
ton.
EDO as you would like to be done
by" is a pretty safe rule. Adults do NJ
like to be found fault with before others /;
do not like their peculiarties of face or
figure or disposition to be made the
subject of remark; do not like to be
everlastingly nagged; do not like harsh
ness, rudeness, impoliteness, rdicule,
injustice, unfairness. 1t is surely a
grievous violation of the Golden Rule
when adults take advantage of their
position of authority to inflict this same
unkind and unconscious treatment
upon children. The great
mistake is to judge the child's conduct
from the adults standpoint. AS well
might one judge the caterpillar from
the standpoint of the butterfly But
since they cannot help being children,
and we cannot help being adults, things
must necessarily go wrong between us
unless one or the other is able to step
into the others shoes. Children mani
festly cannot step into our shoes, and
there is nothing for it, therefore, but for
us to step into theirs. We must manage
somehow to put ourselves in the child's
place and look at things from the
chid's standpoint. The science OF
motherhood will teach us how to dc
this. We shall learn to consider, not
how any given matter or event in the
lives of our children will affect our
selves; but how it will affect them. -

A Unique Character.

The Rev. DR.. Berle of Boston says that
he had Swedish girl doing homework in
his family, and she announced not long
ago that she wished to return on visit to
her native land.
And will you work for me when you
come backY' he asked.
The girl did not seem to understand and
said, Are you dissatisfied with meP'
why, no, replied the clergyman. Il
only thought that you might not want to
come back, and that might have to en-
gage some one else.''
Il have always been taught" was the
reply that when girl goes to work in
a family she is to remain there until she
is married."

Going Home for Sunday.


When you're away through all the week
And just go home for Sunday,
You get such luscious things TO eat
From Saturday till Monday.
You find your own old rocking. chair
The softest ever tested,
And everything throughout the house
With some new charm IL vested.
You hear about the monstrous rats
Your own old cat is catching,
And what fine young brood of chicks
The Plymouth Rock is Matching.
Your brothers weekly letter home
You read with many pauses,
For mother still must interrupt
With fragmentary clauses.
You feel so safe and heart content
To be with those who love you,
You know there's none in all the world.
Whom they could place above you.
And when you wake on Sabbath morn,
And almost while you're dreaming,
A sort of sacred quietude
Seems all around you beaming,
And all the peaceful, happy day
There's never any hurry,
The busy week is left behind
With all its cares and worry.
And when you take them up again
And go to work on Monday,
You've had a little bit of heaven
In going home for Sunday.

The HOUSEHOLD.
Some Time.

Last night, my darling, as you slept
thought heard you sigh,
And to your little bed crept,
And watched space thereby;
And then stopped and kissed our brow,
For OF love you So
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you shall know.
Some time when, In a darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon a face
Calm In eternal sleep.
The voiceless lips. the wrinkled brow,
The patient smile shall show
You are too young to know 1t now
But some time you may know.
Look backward, then into the ears,
And see me here to night
See o my darling, how my tears
Are falling as l write;
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you shall k ow.
