THE UNFRAMED DAUGHTER.

Why Should Not Girls Be Taught Some
of the Common Business Forms?
Why should not a girl be taught
bookkeeping and some of the more
common business forms? writes Eliza
beth Robinson Scovil in the May
Ladies' Home Journal. Men pity, or
laugh at, the business incapacity of the
vast majority of women. 1t is often
only due to want of proper instruction,
and why should not this be supplied?
Some girls have passion for flowers,
and plants grow and thrive under their
coaxing fingers without much apparent
effort on their part. Such may find
their vocation in the management of a
greenhouse. Raising flower seeds is a
remunerative occupation. Choice pansy
seed is sold at 81 an ounce at retail,
rare ones at double that price, and some
varieties at $3 an ounce. Cut fiow-
ers always command a good price in
winter, spring flowers at Easter and
choice flowers all the year round.
The care of precious house plants for
absent owners, supplying potted plants
and ferns for the decoration of dinner
tables ana drawing rooms, help to swell
the balance. Some florists not only
supply the flowers but arrange them in
their receptacles, charging an extra
sum for the service
A girl choosing this occupation must
be content to learn her business thor
oughly under an experienced florist,
and should also have little capital to
begin with.
There are so many good technical
schools now that there need be little
difficulty in obtaining excellent in
struction in whatever avocation it is
wished to take up.

A Noblenan,s strange Career.

Joseph Ledochowsk was arrested in a
Vienna hotel recently for stealing coal,
clothes and jewelry. The story of his ca
reer, as told to the Vienna police and con-
frmed from other sources, is as remarka-
bic as anything In recent police records.
He is Polish nobleman whose father was
exiled for taking part in the Polish revo-
luton. He was reared in Siberia. He
escaped from the convict settlement by way
of Mongolia, came back to Europe by a
devious route, disguised himself and re-
turned to Russia to obtain If possible part
OF the family property. He was recog-
nized, arrested and sent back to Siberia.
After q few years he escaped again. He
made his home among the nihilists in
Switzerland. He was injured in the great
railway accident near Basel and obtained
q large sum of money as compensation,
from which he lived until he went to Vi
enna He lived in the Austrian capital
by theft He was in extreme poverty most
of the time, often being reduced to beg
ging in the streets. The Russian govern
ment wishes to extradite him. The vien-
ma police, however, may be allowed to deal
with him first, as they have long list Of
charges against him.

A Penurious Maestro.

Some years ago a well-known and
celebrated composer resided in Paris.
Hearing that great prince intended
visiting the city, he gathered around
him a number of musical lights in or
der to give a grand concert in honor
of the prince. Knowing of the princes s
liberality, he banished his beautiful
concert piano to another apartment,
substituting in its place an antique
one with strings that would just about
respond to the touch of the keys.
The evening of the concert arrived,
and with it the prince, who expressed
himself charmed and delighted with the
lovely music, but curious about the
piano.
"My dear Maestro he said, "you
will doubtless venerate this ancient
piano. -
Your highness, replied the Macs
tro, sit is more matter of necessity
than veneration.' And here he looked
sad.
: The princes heart was touched, and
asked the Maestro in an ill-disguised,
oH-hand manner what style of piano he
thought the best. The Maestro liked to
play on the x, it's tone was so beau
tiful and it responded SO quick to the
touch.
The next day the prince visited the
manufacturers of the x piano and
purchased one of the finest of their
make, ordering it sent to the Maestro.
Shortly after the Maestro called on
the manufacturers of the K piano,
and asked: Did Prince - order
one of your pianos sent to my apart
ments?" The answer being in the
affirmative, he politely requested his
commission, stating that it had been
his pleasure to commend their pianos.

Early Rising.


The old idea of attributing special mo-
rality to early rising is bygone, out of
date maxim.
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes man healthy and wealthy and wise
is rhyme which has had its day. A GER
tain medical man once discovered-with
much statistical search-that he never
found case of extreme longevity unac-
companied by the habit of early rising,
from which one might infer that they who
rise late die early. But this would fail to
take into account one well known fact
the fact that most elderly people are early
risers because they cannot sleep o. morn
ings. 1t is putting the cart before the horse,
a reversal of cause and effect, to infer that
people live to be old because they do not
sleep late. Arranged in logical sequence,
the conclusion Is that they do not sleep
late because they are old, and It is folly
for human beings to regulate their move
msnts on pathological principlas.

A Bat Story.

A queer story comes with first class rec
ommendation all the way from England.
In 1860 member of the Chaplin family
died at Blankney, Lincolnshire, and was
laid in the family tomb. This particular
Chaplin was naturalist, and among his
other pets had large gray bat. That bat
WAS permitted to enter the tomb and was
sealed up alive along with the corpse of
his dead master. In 1866 the vault was
opened, and to the surprise of all the bat
was alive and fat. On four different occa-
sions since the Chaplins have looked after
the welfare of their dead relatives pet.
and each time it has been reported that
the bat was still in the land of the living,
although occupying quarters with the
dead. He was last seen in 1s92.-Chicago

Eints ON Reading,


Your teachers no doubt often ask Won
to read books, as side helps, supple
mentary reading, in your serious stud
les. Never feel that time is wasted
when spent in this occupation. One
gets the atmosphere of period from
the books which were written about it,
as, for instance, if you are studying the
history of the French revolution, your
instructor may ask you to read A Tale
of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens. The
novel will throw a fash-light on the
time and the men and women, which
will make the swiftly moving events
ever vivid in their impression on your
mind. The several books of Mrs.
Charles, especially The Chronicles of the
Schonberg- Gotta Family, are valuable,
not only as stories, but as helping you
to understand the period of the Ref
ormation, The Draytons and the Da-
yenants doing for the Reformation in
England what the Schonberg Gotta
books do for that in Germany.
If you delight in exciting tales read
the White Company, by A. Conan
Doyle; or A Gentleman of France, by
Stanley J. Weyman. Micah Clarke,
by DR.. Doyle is full of battle and siege
and moving incident, and it is an er-
ror to fancy that only boys find pleasure
in this thrilling sort of story. Girls
like it quite as well. Can I not per-
suade You to go back little and read

a short time ago he made Mrs. w. S.

Launched at Stonlngton In 1858, she at
once commenced a career which made her
the hest known merchant vessel OF the
country At the hight of her fame there
wasn't a small boy In New York city who
didn't keep tabs on the arrivals and de-
partures Of the "Davy'' Crockett. and on
both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. the
greatest interest was felt in her goings
and comings.
The Crockett came into this port last
week IN tow OF a tug. and dropped anchor
over a shoal. where she grounded when
the tide went out, coming down on her am
Choir. which pierced her hull. So much
water rushed in that the craft could not
Use on the next tide. and subsequently IL
was found necessary to set the wrecking
tug Right Arm at work. Monday night she
was floated and placed alongside Wilkes
barre pier.
Even as a coal barge she still retains the
remarkably fine lines which marked the
skill of the Stonington shipbuilder who put
the speed into her that made her famous.
When first in commission the Crockett
went into the San Francisco trade sailing.
out of New York and carrying passengers
stricken with gold fever. Her fgurehead
was life-size carving of the pioneer and
scout after whom she was named, She car
ried a tremendous sweep of canvas and
was the loftiest rugged ship of her day.
Two Of her most memorable voyages
were AFOREMENTIONED trips. She sailed
from San Francisco to Philadelphia in
go days and from San Francisco to New
York In l02 days. After several of these
splendid runs had called the country's att
tention to her speed, 3 vessels were built
on the same model. but never a one of them
In the frequent trials which ensued, could
begin to hold it's own with the only and

Gum chewers, believe, are like poets;
they are born and not made. This coun-
try produces them just as it does popcorn
and peanut eaters, but other soils are
not congenial to them. When l was back
in the old country on a visit last October
a lady friend of mine, who said she was
very curious about the States asked me
II II was true that there Is kind Of
maize In this country which, upon being
Injected 10 heat, bursts into a little
white flower. She referred. Of course to
popcorn, and when / assured her that
such was the fact she said:
why, how extraordinary
You see, l have grown to be so much
Of an American myself that the way In
which they look at things American over
there amuses me. Various attempts had
been made, even before I left there, to in
troduce gum but with little success Oc-
casionally a cockney could be found
brave enough to take Il up, but he was
made the subject Of so much ridicule that
his example was not generally initiated.
l see one OF the leading manufacturers
In this country has naugurated another
campaign there In behalf Of his speciality,
and has succeeded In getting II through
chancery. Chewing gum In a ehancery
court! Just think Of 1t. There's a COM
DlndDOn 10 tempt the pen OF BOZ. Inc
gum, II seems, is meeting with most IA
vor In the mining districts. Some pa
triot, scandalized, no doubt, at seeing his
fellow creatures wagging their jaws to
so little purpose, as II seemed, made a
test case at the Petty sessions TO try to
stop the sale. The summons was dis
missed and he appealed to chancery. When
the case came up there the presiding JUS
tice inquired solemnly-you know a chan
Gerry judge Is always as solemn as a
churchyard-f chewing gum was a sort
of tooth powder. The barrister In charge
OF the case for the crown, who seems to
have been about as much at sea as the
learned Judge replied that the gum melt
ed away during the chewing operation and
passed into the stomach. 1t seems that.
owing to the novelty Of the article, It
is necessary to take unusual precautions
as to its use, for the Judge is represented
by the London correspondent Of one of
the trade journals, in which | saw the
item, as remarking, more perplexed than
ever:
But the article is Labelled not to be
swallowed. Is It nutritious?'
Finally, after a lengthy argument,
It was decided that gum is neither a food
nor drug, and therefore not within the
provisions of the act under which it was
sought to stop its sale. Having been thus
publicly advertised it may. with judlcious
management, come into general use after
awhile, but its course is, l think, by no
means clear even yet.
