The Author Of "Evelina."

Miss Burney, or Nine. D'Arblay, re-
tains place in literature partly by her
novels, partly by her exceedingly inter
osting diary. Nor must it be forgotten
that, although "Evelina" appeared so
long ago as 1878, there are many people
still living who were young men and
women when she died. She has been
praised by Macaulay for describing real
life with broad, comic humor," yet
in language that is never Inconsistent
with rigid morality or even with virgin
delicacy," and it is true that "Evelina"
possesses unique interest as description
of contemporary manners and is free
from unnecessary coarseness. 1t is also
true that the author has keen eye for
the ridiculous and considerable gift OF
satire. Nevertheless Nine. D'Arblay Is
not entitled to any high place as novel
list. Her constructive skill is small, and
her characters are for the most part
what johnson would have called "hu-
morists' that is, they are the incarna-
ton of qualities rather than flesh and
blood individuals. Moreover, the author
herself is "humorist Her ruling pas
sion is a morbid craving to be ''genteel. "
She has no mercy for vulgarity or the vul-
gar, but she fails to see that her own wor-
ship of society conventions is itself vul-
gar. And hence one may doubt the pro-
priety of assigning to her "broad comic
humor. She was too much of a prig to
be possessed of humor, which duplicates
geniality.
Still, Nine. D'Arblay claims respect
on the specific ground that she did much
to purify an important form of litera-
ture, while she has a certain additional
claim to remembrance from her connec-
ton with DIR. johnson. Did not DR..
Johnson kiss her, and has she not record
ed "To be sure, was little surprised,
having no idea of such Righteousness
from him?"-Cornhill Magazine.

Six Hundred Feathered Songsters In Mich
igan's Principal Prison.

Convicts in the Michigan state prison
have many more favors than those Of
almost any other penitentiary in the
United States, and it is the belief Of the
management of the institution that for
this reason there are fewer outbreaks or
lawlessness than are found elsewhere.
Among the favors granted to them here
is that of keeping and caring for birds.
There are fully 600 feathered songsters
In Michigan's principal penal institu-
tions, all owned and cared for by the
convicts, and as soon as daylight ap-
proaches ON bright mornings their sweet
notes are heard in striking contrast to
the natural feelings of their owners.
Many of the most hardened criminals,
from their general appearance and his
tory, would not be expected to care for
anything Of refining nature, yet they
tenderly care for and caress their little
pets.
More than three quarters of the cells
in the prison contain one or more cana
ries, and they are also found IN various
shops throughout the institution. Dur
ing the day the cages are hung outside
the cells to give the birds light and
air, but as soon as the convict returns
from work at night the cage is taken in
side.
The practice has been carried on In
the prison for years, and the officials
say that, instead Of any detrimental
effect being noticeable, the little song
sters have proved benefit, as they not
only give the cells more homelike ap-
pearance, but they also WELD decided
influence In the way of humanizing the
most reckless and hardened criminal
Besides being permitted to keep the
birds for the sake of their company and
influence, the convicts are also allowed
to raise them to sell, and many dollar
is credited to the accounts of the prison
ers from this source. Of course the con-
vict handles none of the money realized
from the sale of the birds until he is
discharged, but it is placed to his credit
in the prison bank. Chicago News.

Travels of Miss Mary Green.

"Miss Mary Green" is rubber doll
who appeared one day late last fall in
the postoffice of Winchester, Mass. On
her dress was fastened slip of paper
which read: 1.-THE climate of New Eng
land is too severe for this child; please
pass her to the Pacific coast for the win
ter" Some friendly clerk put stamp
on her dress and sent her to Montana.
From there she went to California, then
to British Columbia and from there to
Ottawa. Each postoffice clerk seems to
have enjoyed her society as long as he
pleased, then pasted a stamp to her
gown and sent her on.
At Denver she evidently attended q
banquet Of the mailing clerks and bad
some new travelling garments given her.
Her dress is said to be covered over with
postage stamps from various offices in
the United States, and around her neck
are tied several poems" written in her
honor. She also wears newspaper badges
from many different states, showing the
honor with which she was received at
the various literary banquets which she
attended. From Ottawa she brought
back tag which proved to be a pass to
the gallery of the house of commons

WASHING DAY.
How the Family Laundering lie Done In
Various Countries.


The hardest worked washerwomen In
the world are the Koreans. They have
to wash about dozen dresses for their
husbands, and. inasmuch as every man
wears pantaloons or drawers so baggy
that they would come up to his neck,
like those of a clown, they have plenty
to do. The washing is usually done in
cold water and often in running
streams. The clothes are pounded with
paddles until they shine like shirt
front fresh from Chinese laundry.
The japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing, and they iron
their clothes by spreading them on
fat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry The sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes, and some
of them have quite luster. The Japa-
nese woman does her washing out OF
doors. Her washtub is not more than
six inches high and is about as big
round as the average dishpan. She gets
the dirt out of the clothes by rubbing
them between her hands. She some
times uses Jdpduese eOaP, nA4Sh 40 ANAA
of grease, and works away in her bare
feet.
The Chinese girls do their washing
in much the same way.
The pretty short haired beauties OF
Siam wear their gowns when bathing
in the river and wash them while TAX
ing their bath. When they have finish
ed, they trot up the steps of their float
ing houses, and, wrapping clean sheet
round their bodies, they slip off the
wet clothes and wiring them out 10 dry.
The washing in Egyptis usually done
by the men. The Egyptian washerman
stands naked on the banks Of the Nile
and slaps the wet clothes, with noise
like the shot of pistol, on the smooth
stones at the edge Of the running water,
and such fellah women as wash pound
the dirt out of their clothes in the same
way.
Frenchwomen pound the dirt out
with paddles, often slapping the clothes
upon stones as the Egyptians do.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

SLIPS IN SPEECH.
sundry "Bad Breaks" That Are Made With
the Fest Intentions In the World.


In the hurry of speech and anxiety to
be polite one is very often liable to slips
of the tongue which may put an entire
" different construction upon the SEN
tence than was intended. For example,
upon arriving at your entertainers
house, you say, 81 beg thousand par
dons for coming SO late, and are met
by your hostess with the words: my
dear sir, no pardons are needed; you
can never come too late. ?"
Take another instance. At an even
ing party in Cork a lady said to her
partner, "Can you tell me who that ex-
ceedingly plain man is sitting opposite
to us?' "Ihat is my brother. " "Oh,
beg your pardon, she replied, much
confused, II did not notice the resem-
blance.
That was certainly putting ones foot
in it, and yet was perhaps not so awk-
ward as the following: After certain
concert a we'll known German canta-
trice asked a gentleman to whom she
had been introduced how he liked her
duet. "You sang charmingly, madam.
But why did you select horrid piece
of muster" "Sir, that was written by
my late husband ~ "Ah, yes, of course.
I did not. mean- But why did you Sc
lect such an ass to sing with you?"
each himmel, that is my present hus-
bandW
A lady said something the other day
at q friends dinner that found mark
the archer little meant. There were sew
eral strangers present, and in response
to a remark made about certain lady
of a certain age, the fair guest in cues
ton exclaimed, "Why, good gracious
she is as old as the hills!" and could
not imagine in the least what had caused
the general CONSERVATION. She did a
little later, however, when it was ex-
planned to her that two maiden sisters
at the table, whose names she did not
catch in the introduction, were called
Hill, and were extremely sensitive on
the subject Of age.
"Here, my dear husband" said a
loving wife, II have brought you little
silver pig for luck. It's charm, you
know, dear, to bring happiness to a
house"
"Ah, how kind Of you, darling! But
why should 1 need little pig TO bring
me luck when 1 have you still?"
An awkward compliment recently
rather disturbed the harmony of we'd
ding breakfast given by substantial
farmer blessed with five daughters,
the eldest being the bride. A neighbor-
ing young farmer, who was honored
with an invitation, thinking, no doubt,
he ought to say something smart and
complimentary upon the event, address
ing the bridegroom, said, well, you
have got the pick of the batch" The
countenances of the four unmarried ones
may be imagined. New York Dispatch.

A Cabby's Tip.

A sensitive cab horse and four
wheeler drew up in front of theater
the other night, and a portly old gentle
man alighted.
Having handed the cabby his strictly
legal fare, he turned round to make his
way into the building.
Excuse me, sir, said the weather
beaten cabby, "but would yer oblige me
by not passing in front of the old boss?
If he sees what weight he's pulled for
bob, he'll simply drop down dead. -

A Prophet Not Without Honor.

Prof. Trl r. Hicks of ST. Louis is re-
ceiving good many back-handed COM
pliments on his weather forecasts.
During the hot weather of last sum
mer he announced that December
would be very cold month. Ordina-
riIy this prediction would have excited
little comment, for December is usual
ly chilly mcnth.
This time. however. the thermome-
ter did not bear out Prof. Hicks. In
stead of cold December, the month
passed without single really cold day,
and wound up with regular spring
weather. Never was a forecast fur
ther from the mark. Not even the
Weather bureau could havs done worse.
The failure of his dreams 70 come
true. however. does not sour Prof.
Hicks' temper or even discomit him
in the least. Without attempting 10
put the blawe 90 the thermomster or
