BRUSHING UP BACHELORS.
Women Who Mend Mems Clothes
and Earn Il Living THEREBY.

Of all the things that used TO harass
and annoy a bachelor the chief was
how to keep his clothes in condition.
There are women nowadays, however,
who earn 4 comfortable living looking
after the wardrobes of the bachelors.
Some of them will call fer the Elnter
garments, pack them away carefully
with moth balls and tar paper, look
them over and air them occasionally
and return them at the approach Of
cold weather, and the charge is only
$3.50. The same care is taken of the
summer clothing-an mending is done,
SO that when the garments are re-
turned they are in the best condition,
says the New York Press.
The everyday suits, too. ~CfJ t&beS
for a day or two, and a rent here sE7&
a button there attended to. Socks
that need darning sadly are made whole
again, and underclothing is placed be-
yOnd the dangers of moths Tailora
concern themselves entirely with outer
garments, but the other articles of
clothing have to shift for themselves,
unless the bachelor is eNpert-fOr a
man-with a needle. These women are
a blessing to the unmarried. Usually
they are widows, and thus know by eX-
perience what a man needs and how
to supply his wants. Their work is
done at home and helps support the
children. In the spare rooms the
trunks and boxes are stored. Every
little while out come the Overcoats and
heavy suits to get a Whit of fresh
air and to make sure that no moths
have defed the packing and made holes
and homes for themselves.
1t is the little attentions that keep a
wardrobe perfect, and this same care
full and constant supervision it is i'm
possible to get from ones tailor or
landlady. Some of these repairers are
trusted to overhaul the entire ward
robes of their customers, taking away
what needs fixing up and leaving the
rest. They come in the daytime when
the men are at work, and next day the
articles are returned, ready to wear
The price fer this work usually is 10
or 90 cents an hour and a dollar is

JOHN BROWNS CHARACTER.
Even WeII-Mcaning Historians Have
Missed and SEP Misreprcsent"d IT.

[ met John Brown in his room at the
American house (No. 1850 in March.
1858, and saw before me a man whose
mere appearance and bearing. refuted
in advance some of the strange per-
versions which have found their way
into many books. and which often
wholly missed the type to which he be-
longed. In his thin, worn, resoIute
face there were the signs OF fire
which might wear him out, and pric-
tically did, but nothing of pcttiness
or baseness; and his talk was calm,
persuasive and coherent. He was sim
ply a high-minded, unselfish, helated
Covcr2nter; q man whom Sir Walter
Scott might have drawn, but whom
such writer's as Nicolay and Hay. for
instance, have utterly failed TO define
ate. soys q writer in the May Az
lantic.
To describe him in their words as
"clean but coarse" is curiously wids
of the mark; he had no more coarse
ness than was to be found in Tyaball-
kuk Mucklewrath or in George Elioes
Adam Bede; he had. on the contrary.
that religious elevation which is itself
q kind OF refinement, the thing cnS may
see expressed in many q venerable

A CALIFORNIA INSECT CATCHER.
Plant, DarIinGtonia, That Lures In
sects to Destruction.

California has trumpet-leaf more
remarkable than those that grow in
the East. 1t is the darlingtonia, named
for DR.. Darlington, famous bOtanist
who lived near Philadelphia many
years ago, writes Thomas H. Kearney
in June ST. Nicholas. In the noun
tains where it grows the people call it
"calfs head" from the shape IF the
pitchers. These are sometimes three
feet tall, and are covered at top by a
sort of hood that bends down over the
mouth. The hood ends in two spread
ing wings that give it the look of a
fish's tail Like the other trumpet
brightly colored, so as to catch the
eyes Of flying insects and lure them to
their destruction. Around the mouth
Of the pitcher, along the 'fish-tan."
and often down the wing On one side,
there is little of the sweetish, sticky
substance that offers a bait TO the Wis
itOr, tempting him to come always a
little farther in search of more.
The upper side of the fish-tail and
the inside of the pitchers are covered
with stiff hairs that point downward.
Master Insect finds it easy work to
crawl down into the pitcher, but if he
gets frightened by the darkness at the
bottom and tries to return as he came
he finds these hairs very much in his
way So at length, worn out by his
vain efforts to climb up, he usually
falls into the we'll beneath him.
But even if he is strong enough to
get past the hairs he is not likely to
find his way to the opening; for that
is quite dark, While the hood covering
the pitcher is lighted up by thin yell
low dots scattered over it, much like
the oil-paper that people covered their
windows with in the old days before
glass was common. The poor prisoner
beats around inside the hood, like a
wasp on window pane. until he is
tired out and drops to the bottom. The
California insect catcher sets its trap
for big game. Grasshoppers, bees, hor.
nets, butterflies, and now and then a
Snail are captured by it, besides many
a smalle," morsel. 1t is one Of the hun
griest of the insect-eating plants.
