ABOUT WOMEN.

William Dean Howelis has uaugn-
Ter, Miss Mildred, who is an accom-
plisbed illustrator. She studied in
Paris. Rome and London.
OF the Ga who graduated in medicine
recently from the University of Buff
falo three were women, two of them
being in the honor roll and one head
ing the list.
Mime. Paul Blouet, the wife of "MaN
O'Rell," is not only the translator of
all her husbands books into English,
but is an excellent cook, and is to be
seen at her very best when entertain
ing her husbands friends.
At Victoria, N. s. W., women have
now been substituted for men at no
fewer than 200 railway stations. The
result has been n saving of s150,000
per year in salaries, The average wage
paid to q station mistress is 500 per
year, whereas men used to receive
$50.
Miss A. Z. Taylor. of Kennedy, N.
Y, has invented an ingenious clothes
pin. She was led to make it by see
ing wire clothespin, such q compli-
Gated affair that she knew it could not
be sold for the cost of manufacture.
So she invented the present device,
for which she has received silver
medal.
1t has been the custom of the authori-
ties of Melbourne hospital, Australia,
to appoint as resident physicians the
six graduates who stand highest in
the final honor list of the University of
Melbourne. This year two women were
among the six; and, although the pro-
fession and the press carried ON n
wordy war about whether they should
receive the appointment the hospital
committee includes politicians who
foresee the coming franchise for wom-
en- and so allowed them to assume the
positions they were entitled to.

said another. as always grumbling at
my meat" said third-the local
butcher. And so forth. While in ore
common grievance against him all con-
curred-namely, his tresome habit
talready mentioned) of keeping them
waiting for their little accounts.
"Tisn't as II he was hard up" was the
unanimous complaint. "He has plenty
of money. He simply does it 10 make
himself dsagreeable."
OF course, Perks heard these grumblss
in his almost daily intercourse with the
tladesmen of Winfield The solicitor
lin spite of his bland exterior and in
sinuating ways--was not the man 70
forget slight or to pardon a snub.
He meant TO give the vicar a Roland
for his Oliver when he saw the chance
and it occurred to him, after some re-
Election, that he might, perhaps, sec
that chance in this aforesaid matter
of the Wears little accounts.
1t was getting on into February and
the Wears Christmas bills still re-
mained unsettled. Perks conceived a
wish that the tradesmen to whom the
bills were due would put them into his
hands for collection. The wish strength
ened into longing, the longing into n
fixed resolve. He began, by a gradual
and insinuating process, 10 get tho
tradesmen in the mind to cooperate.
This was not such very easy matter
For though the Winfield shopkeepers
crowled at and disliled the vicar in iio
measured degree, still his custom was
considerations; and, glad as they
would have been to do him nasty turn
they nevertheless were not prepared
to take a step which would drive him
away altogether from their shops
Perks. however, was smart man, and
he managed, in the end, to engineer
mis- scheme. He vast may be added
--providentially assisted in this matter
| by the vicar himself just at the right
minute (from Perks standpoint) the
reverend gentleman had complained &c
| Grocer Hobb about the quality of the
bacon supplied him, and had. indeed
sent back half side as unfit to eat.
Something of the same sort happened
| in reference to Shanks, the butcher

on the ground of its being cow-beef

the cousins, Of which the vicar was un-
aware. 1t had not, however, developed
into an express engagement until that
very morning; when young Miller, COM
ing down early and finding his cousin
in the garden, had taken the oppor-
tunity-for which the day was so SIM
gularly Appropriated declaring pas
sion which he could not any longer con-
ceal.
Amy had answered his proposal with
blushing acceptance; stipulating,
however, that Frank should inform her
ftther of the circumstances Immediate
ly, and this he had, of course, agreed
to. He did not, however, look forward
to the interview with any great pleasure
or confidence, for two sufficient reasons.
In the first place, he knew that his uncle
had prejudice against first cousins
marrying; in the next, his own worldly
circumstances were not, at present. such
as would commend themselves TO u
prospective father-in-law. He had, in
deed, little money of his own; and
the vicar, being well Off, might, II he
chose, make his only daughter n good
allowance. But whether he would dc
so, or would even countcnance the en-
gagement at all, was n decidedly doubt
full matter; though Frank believed that
il he could manage to catch his revel-
ence in good humor, he might be abb,
tc talk him round.
Franks and Amy's dismay, there
fore. when they saw that the vicar hac
been seriously put out of temper by ht'
correspondence, can well be under
stood; more especially as he was mar
who did not get over the effects oI
prcvocation at all quickly, and had :
playful little way of venting his an
noyance on oil who came near him
whether concerned in the provocatior
or not. The worst of il was, Frank was
bound to be back in London in five or siN
days at the least, and, of course, his in
terview with his uncle must take plac,
before his departure.
After breakfast. his uncle called hin
into his study.
Just read that, Frank" he said, hand
ing him Sidney Perks epistle.

WHATS ALL THIS ABoUTw

Butcher ShanlSs was not logical; nor
was Grocer Hobb. And each was led
by his dislike for the vicar to believe
that the vicar himself had purposeiy
insulted him. Perks rejoiced to find
them both in this mood. He struck
while the iron was hot. He unfolded TO
them his pretty little scheme for giving
the vicar beans. If they, and the other
tradesmen in the place, to whom the
vicar owed bills, would combine and
hand him their accounts to collect, he
would soon read his reverence lesson.
He would teach him to be careful how
he insulted honest tradesmen.
Grocer Hobb and butcher Shanks
liked the idea of the vicar being taught
that lesson. But they made il "sine
qua non" that if they did this thing the
other creditors of the vicar in Whin-
field should do likewise.
Perks undertook to see the other
creditors, and, if possible, to secure
their compliance. He saw them; he
talked to them in his most insinuating
way; he worked upon their unqualified
hatred for the vicar. The end of it was
that the solicitor was instructed to col
lect the seven largest accounts owed By
the vicar in the place. They amounted
jointly TO about 200 pounds.
II was then the end of the first week
in February, and Perks intention was
that the vicar should receive his agree
able communication on the morning Of
Valentines day. Perks had n tolerable
notion of effect; and he considered that
the vicar would be doubly incensed If
he received the dunning letter in the
form of a valentine. He had not told
his clients the exact strain in which he
should write, nor the extreme perempt-
oriness of the demand he should make.
But the letter which he posted to the
vicar on Valentines eve was as good
specimen Of the esharp-practice solicitors
composition, when Intentionally in
sclent, as could be well desired. The
gist of it was that unless the whole
amount due on these seven accounts
were paid to him, Sidney Perks. by re-
turn of post, he should issue process
against the vicar, without further no
tice or delay.
There" said Perks to himself. tri-
umphantly. as he sealed up the envelope.
81 calculate this will just about give his
reverence fits"
1t did give his reverence fits. That is
to say, it put him into fine state OF
rage and excitement when he read il ot
breakfast next morning. His angry
looks and savage frowns struck de-
cided CONSERVATION into the breasts OF
the two other persons who were sharing
that meal with him. These were his
only daughter, Amy, and his nephew,
Frank Miller. young barrister, who
frequently came down from town, when
he was not very busy, to stay at the
vicarage. The fact was, there had long
existed sort of attachment between

This, after some demur, the vicar, at
length, agreed to do; Frank persuading
him that it would be far more dignified
for him to have no personal communica
hot
tradesmen. And SO the affair was
placed, unreservedly, in the young bar
rister's hands.
The vicar rubbed his glasses and
looked at the letter again. He felt that
his eyes must have deceived him. But
no. There the thing, was in black and
