His Heroic Deed.

Voltaire had once taken a box at
the opera and was installed in it with
some ladies', when the Duke of Lauzun,
one Of the worst men in the time Of
Louis XIV, arrived and asked for q
box. He was respectfully informed
that all the boxes were taken. "That
may be-" he said, "but see Voltaire In
one, turn him out" In those times
such things could happen. and Vol
taire was turned out. He brought an
action against the Duke to recover the
price Of the box: What" exclaimed
the advocate for the Duke, sis it M.
Voltaire who dares to plead against
the Duke Of Lauzun, whose great
grandfather was the first to get on
the walls of La Rochelle; whose grand
father took twelve cannon from the
Dutch Of Utrecht. whose father cap
tured two standards from the English
at Fontenoy. who" "Oh, but ex-
cuse me-" interrupted voltaire. II am
not pleading against the Duke of
Lauzun who was first on the walls Of
La Rochelle, nor against the duke who
captured twelve cannons from the
Dutch at Utrecht, nor against the duke
who captured two standards from the
English at Fontenoy; I am pleading
against the Duke of Lauzun, who never
captured anything In his life but my
box at the opera"

New York, Sept. 23.-Veternns of the
civil war will participate in the land
parade In honor OF Dewey, despite the
decision Of the officials of theNG. A. Il.
not to order out different posts.
Among the organizations which have
decided to parade are two platoons Of
the Medal of Honor Legion, under COM
mand of General T. 8. Peck of Bur-
lington, Vermont. Those who will pa
rade will be largely members of the
New York commandery, but other COM
manderies will be represented. All
these men are members of the Grand
Army.
The Loyal Legion has nominated sew
eral OF Its stan to parade. There will
be two organizations numbering 100
men, of the Duryea Zouayes of the One
Hundred and Sixty-fifth New York vol
unteers. There will be contingent
from the Eleventh Veteran Association
of the civil war.
The Hawkins Zounves and two full
Grand Army of the Republic posts are
arranging to take part in the parade.
Already 500 veterans have decided to
parade and by Tuesday 1t is expected
that 1900, the limit set by General Roe,
will have sent in applications.

A girl in New England factory
wrote her name several months ago
On . bolt Of cotton. Recently she re-
oeived letter from woman in Arixo-
m saying that the cloth had been
bought by the government, and was be-
tnE cut up for garments in an Apache
Indian school. 1t is but a few years
ago that the Apaches thought more OF
taking scalps than of schools in which
shirt making is done. While the mill
girls act elected this striking COM
parison, It was an act to be unhesitat-
angly condemned. A girls name SO
represents herself that to have 1t light
~ banded about in writing, or in pub
lie conveyances. or in the mouths Of
strangers, reflects meretriciously upon
her character. Had the bolt OF cotton
fallen into INSCRIPTIONS hands, the
letter sent from Arizona might have
been anything but pleasing to the
thoughtless recipient.

met q man on the street the other day
and noticed inconsequently that his
hair was arranged becomingly and
that he looks very well. The next day
when the same man appeared gave =
gasp of establishment. He was SO
changed my first thought was that he
must have been very Ill indeed. but his
beaming countenance put that out of
the question. Then decided he was

scrutiny, however. assured me that
that article was as usual. Then l was,
, indeed, puzzled to account for the
metamorphosis. Presently the solu-

ter of an inch, and over his forehead.

there was nothing now but a desert
waste. 1t was at least two weeks be-
fore that man looked like himself, and
as soon as he did he went right OF and

rather have tiny portion cut OF their

The general Introduction Of women
into employment before held by men
has had the most far-reaching social
effects. 1t is not necessary, and would
not be appropriate here to enter into
. consideration of the question whether
the result Of such general employment
ct women has been beneficial or the
reverse in its effects on society. What
sver conclusions may be reached on
that very comprehensive subject 1t is
quite plain that the employment of
women in the business pursuits is des-
tined to be less, rather than more, gen.
eral in the future than 1t has been In
the immediate past.
