ARE WOMEN sTINGY7

There is a fine old masculine preju- dice that women, as a class. are stiEgy. 'fhe whole question hangs closely on to the power of earning money, and the woman wEo makes her own life and her own living, is rarely guilty of the vice of parsimony The horrors of a rigid domestic economy are usually praeticed by wives to whom a weekly dole for housekeeping is handed cut; women who, not possessing a penny or their own and having no pin money settled upon them at marriage, are tempted to pinch and scrape in order to put something by for themselves.

 Poughkeepsie Special Chicago Chron- iele: Alexander De Witt, who lived in this city, practically upon the bounty of his friends, for many years, died week ago at the age of 90 years, and in his will, which has just been filed in the office of Surrogate Doriand, of Duchess county, shows that he leaves an estate of $40600 in excellent secur- ities. The old man wore clothes given to him by pitying friends and lived with a charitable acquaintance, Edwin C. Southwick, on Main street. He had several nephews and nieces in various parts of the country, but in his sup posed poverty and obscurity he never heard from any of them, except one This was a nephew, Amos Harrison, of Tonawanda, N. Y, who visited the old man once a year and tried to better his condition. He once sent De Witt S15, with which to buy a suit of clothes. It was good investment, for MT. liar rison is left about $39,00p of the estate. The old man had another nephew, a resident of Indiana. who visited him a few years ago, and afterward De Witt learned that his relative had endeav- ored to learn at the banks if his appar- ently poverty-stricken uncle had any money This nephew is left S100 legacy in the viii

Paine's saal.


At the close of the American reyolu. ton it became a proverb that inde pendence had been achieved equally by the sword of Washington and the per of Paine, writes Moncure D. Conway in the Arena. Up to January, 1776 Washington had protested his loyalty to the crown. On the tenth of that month Paine's Common Sense9 ap- peared. On the thirty-frst of that month Washington wrote from Cam bridge to Joseph Reed of the sound doctrine and unanswerable reasoning contained ii the pamphlet Common Sense The die was cast.

Brave E1ephsntG.

No animal will face danger more readily, at mans bidding, than the ele- phant. As an instance, take the fol- lowing incident. which recently oc- cured in India. A small female elephant was charged by a buffalo in high grass, and her rider, in the hurry of the moment, and perhaps owing to the sudden stopping of the elephant, fired an explosive shell from his rife, not into the buffalo, but into the elephants shoulder. The wound was so severe that it had not healed a Year later Yet the elephant stooS firm, although it was gored by the buff faIo, which was then killed by another gun. What is even more strange is hat the elephant was not nervous of gun reports afterwards.

Some like solitude amid fine scenery; others prefer to be alone in a crowd, or else desire a complete change from their accustomed surroundings. like sailor who stipulated that his bride should take him well out of sight of the sea. But the most ideally perfect honeymoon, according to a sentimen- talist. is when two lovers have been parted, and after long grief and pain" they meet once more, not to be diaii- lusioned, as sometimes happens, but to find the love Of former days more than renev-. Their we5 7g follows swiftly on the happy meeting, and they go off with the glamor of 1t still in their hearts, to some place of sunny weather and perfect beauty. Such an experience of happiness as that is rare. but for those who are fortunate enough to win it the remembrance must re- main a lifelong joy.

4 new fashion in wedding presents anoears to be about to supersede the a4ekneyed one of jewelry. It takes the form of prayer books for brides and bridesmaids, covered in specially designed artistic bindings, with the in- itials of each recipient, and the date of the event in gold on the side. A leaf of vellum, with gold border, is also in- serted in each book for the signatures of those present at the ceremony. The idea is excellent as a prayerbook is a serviceable article for daily use, and is also a memento of filling the office of bridesmaid. Apropos of honeymoons it is curious to see the many different ways in which people consider it hap piest to spend that period.

AT HYMEN's ALTAR.

In some parts of Switzerland a cus- tom obtains for the friends of a bride to present an elaborate cheese to her on her wedding day. It is then used as family register and heirloom the births, deaths and marriages of the various members. of the family be- ing recorded upon it. Some of thesa old eheeses date back as far as 1860. A country squire exhibited one at Ges- senay, at an agricultural show, which was from ITO to 18o years old. It had been an heirloom in a family residing in the canton of Vaud, after which it became the property of it's present pos sessor. who resides in the Canton izeree.

Mrs, Oliphant, in short, though 4rifle daring in her expenditure, IS good type of the open-handed working woman. There are at least two fa- nous English authoresses today whe Iiye-and entirely by their own exer- tions-like the wives of peers. They have town and country mansions; they go to Italy, to Egypt, to Japan, when the fancy takes them; they drive the most sbowy horses; they entertain like South African millionaires. To think of them as mean is to imagine an i'm possibility. They earn large sums and they are at considerable pains to spend them as quickly and as joyously as may be.

It is the same with actresses and singers. The princely hospitalities of a certain diva are world-famous. Your popular actress, as a rule, would like to have four hands with which tc throw her money about, and she does it, indeed, to such effect that a mon ster benefit is usually got up to supply her with the neeessaries of life toward the close of her career. It is possible. indeed. that women in this connection. are somewhat akin to gamblers. If they make money with ease-or, at any rate, with not too strenuous toiI-they are prone to spend it ill the most toI- erably light-hearted fashion.

The woman who earns, on the other hand, especially one who earns on large scale, is more often than net open-handed to fault. The case of a navelist-the late Mrs. Oliphant-is one in point This courageous pen woman lived always ou the fat of the land, traveled en princesse. sent her sons to Eton and to Oxford and prac- tieed all the amenities of life. Although a good ScOtswoman, we are told by writer in BIaekwood that she hated small economies To travel expensive was her way She never would trav- e1 second-class. She had none of what she calls the faculty of economies in her. She stayed at the very best and most expensive hotels; she dressed in the richest of silks and satins.''

Chauncey Graves was assaulted and
stabbed a number OF times in the back
last evening while on his way down
town. He was on the railroad tracks
near the old cutlery building, when his
assailant attacked him from the rear
and inflicted an ugly wound in his left
side lust below the shoulder. 1t re-
CURED four stitches to close the gaping
wound. One or two minor wounds
were inflicted near the large incision,
and the back OF his coat was cut in
several places. Mr.. Graves, assisted by
a friend. walked to the Office of DR.. A.
0. Williams. where his wounds were
dressed. and later in the evening he
was able to be removed to his home.
Though very painful, it is not thought
that the wound will prove fatal. Mr..
Graves did not give the name of his
assailant, but says he would know him
il he We're to meet him. He says the
attack was made on him entirely with
out warning. and that he knew moth
ing of it until the fellow struck him
and knocked him down and then began
slashing him with knife. Thus far
no arrests have been made.

represent The Models new system OF
advertising, in which Mr.. Sax has de-
cided that, instead of using large dis
play ads, he will give his customers
the benefit of the money thus former
ly spent by inserting coupons in each
issue of the paper, which, when accom-
panied by certain sums, will buy diff
ferent kinds of seasonable goods. Usu-
ally the goods are sold for about half
their former selling price when accom-
panied by one of these coupons. 1t
will pay you TO cut out every one of
:hem in this paper and save them, as
they are like finding money. If you
do not need the goods at once you will
in a short time, and the money they
save you is something worth consider
ing. !.
