SECTIONAL FEELING.
The ola Man wouidn't ride In the
Same Car with such q vel
lows Funeral wreath.

The other day an e~ast-bound car was
just turning on to Erie street when a
natty young cold ed man climbed
aboard. bearing proudly before him a
wreath of red and white roses. IL was n
beautiful thing and huge in its dimen-
sions, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
He laid il tenderly down across the
front seats and sat beside IL, facing the
other people in the car. An old gentle
man sitting n seat back, who had
been watching the performance with
much interest, suddenly leaned for
ward.
THAT wreath from Biank's7" he
questioned.
"Umph."
Thought so. FuneralT
"Umph."
"Ye're mighty proud Of It, amt
YEP"
The colored man looked a trife sur
prised. but admitted that he was.
Which admission seemed 10 rouse the
old gentleman to wrath.
81 know where that wreath's goin',"
he announced to the other passengers;
its goin' up TO John Dash's, and he
ought 20 be ashamed of himself, too,
gettin' flowers from a downtown for
list. We've got plenty of good iorisis's
out 7 East Cleveland. He amt any
more respectable dead n he was alive,
John Dash amt and | won't ever ride to
the car with his funeral wreath"
With which remark the protector Of
East end merchants actually climbed
laboriously out of the car, leaving the
other passengers in n high state OF
glee, and the colored boy so astonished
he couldn't get his mouth properly shut
for four whole blocks.

WANTED TO TRADE WIVES.
An EsQuimsu Chief who became
Eaamored of an Amsrt-
ean Woman.

A plucky little western woman. Mrs.
Laura McGregor, has recently returned
TO the United States after a trip of
more than seven months in the Arctic
seas, north of Behring strait. II is said
To be the first time that a white woman
has spent an entire season In this
region OF the great frozen north.
Mrs. McGregor Is the wife of the cap
tain of a steam whaler, and the trip was
made upon her husbands ship. Her
trip was full of curious adventure.
Once, while they were trading with the
Esquimaux, IA celebrated chief Of that
region actually proposed to trade
wives with Capt. McGregor, and finally
became so insistent upon making the
bargain that he had to he forcibly
elected from the ship. The wife whom
he proposed to exchange for Mrs. Me
Gregor was a hideously ugly squaw
with swarthy features, who could not
speak IA word Of English.
Mrs. McGregor kept her eyes open
during the voyage and brings back
many interesting stories of the life of
the native Esquimaux they met. With
a woman's quickness for such details
she observed much of the life Of the
natives of that region which would
scarcely be observed by n man. She
found the Esquimau women quite as
vain and proud Of their primitive sur
roundings as the women OF civilized
countries. The squaws begged for
every article Of dress she had, and IL the
chance came they would have no hesita-
ton in stealing il. As fast. she says, as
she could make n wrapper or some other
simple article they would besiege her
for it, offering to exchange almost any
thing they owned.
The hats Mrs. McGregor wore were
objects Of special admiration. They de-
light in bright %colors, and the more
gaudy the trimmings the more Il
pleased them. Mrs. McGregor trimmed
IA number of hats for them with the
wings of the native birds OF the north
to their great delight.-N. Y. World.

FASHIONS FANC1ES
Pretty Gowns and waists for the
Fall ssason-Mstsrisis Vow
In Favor.

Some of the new Eton jackets are
rounding on the fronts, showing q vest
of another color and material beneath;
others are made with scalloped edges
and high, flaring collars.
Very stylish is a suit of dark blue
broadcloth made with a tunic drapery
and trimmed with heavy black braid.
The jacket is one of the Elton styles
with rounding fronts and a vest Of red
~broadcloth with three rows of machine
stitching all around the edge in black,
and small black buttons down the front.
Some of the new tea gowns and wrap
pers are made with Elton fronts and
large lapels and collars.
Exceedingly pretty hose gowns are
made of cashmere, Henrietta, chaillies
and nuns veilings. All these materials
are soft and pretty and are well adapt
ed for dressy gowns.
a dress that would be pretty for the
house is made OF red chailli, with a satin
stripe Of red and small polka dots in
black. The skirt is made with three
narrow rufles and a tune drapery
which also has a narrow ruffle of the
goods. All these rufiles are trimmed
with black chiffon plating. The waist
is made with a black yoke, vest and
girdle Of funcy black silk, and n rufie
Of the goods edged with the black chit
fon plating comes down on either side
of the vest in front and around the yoke
In the back and over the shoulders. The
collar is of the black silk with a chiffon
plating around the top, and the girdle
is edged with this chiffon top and bot
ON. The sleeves are close-htting, with
small pointed cuffs trimmed with the
chiffon.
II is well To look around in the stores
nj this season for remnants of silk, sat
in, laces. ribbons and cmbroideries.
There are many remnants OF silk and
satin that can be bought at IA great re-
duction. In fact, some are marked down
almost half price, and good qualities
and lovely patterns are often found.
These small remnants are nice for
waists and coat Innings. For instance,
a beautiful quality of duchess satin that
had been selling at $3.50 IA yard; three
yards Of this was bought for S1.50, the
price OF one yard. II would not have
been pretty for n waist, as IL was n dark
plum color, but there was just enough
in this piece TO line a coat, and for that
purpose il was used. Oftentimes rem
nants can be picked up in this way, not
only in silks, but dress goods, laces, etc.
Scotch fiannels come in pretty stripes
Of pink and white, blue and white, and
gray and white, and this goods makes
up nicely into very pretty shirt waists,
especially SOM Of the gray and white
most like silk. This goods sells from
rs cents a yard and ny, and it is also
nice for dressing sacques, wrappers and
bath robes.-Ladies' World.

FOR THE
Some Short Suggestions Upon vast-
ous Matters In the Domestic
Department.

An excellent everyday pudding may
be made with a cupful OF fruit juice as
= foundation. Bring to the boiling
point one cupful OF water and one cup
full Of fruit juice. Dissolve three table
spoonfuls Of cornstarch in a little cold
water, stir into the boiling strip and
cook ten minutes. Add one-half salt
spoon Of salt and sugar to make of the
sweetness required. The quantity, of
course, depends upon the tartness of
the fruit juice used. Beat the whites
Of three z Z until foamy, but not too
stiff. and stir into the pudding. Turn
into u mold and set in a cool place TO
harden. Serve cold with a boiled Gus
tard made from the yolks OF the eggs,
In preparing the little cucumbers
for picking, do not forget to add n
little horseradish root to the vinegar
the cucumbers are put In and lay ONE
OF the leaves over the top of the jar.
The horseradish helps TO retain the
strength of the vinegar and prevents
mold coming over the top OF the
pickle.
Berry and peach-stained fingers are
apt To be the order OF the day now, but
ordinary fruit stains can be readily re-
moved with a little lemon juice. fol-
lowed by a vigorous rub with n nail
brush. II they prove too obstinate,
however, a more radical method is TO
rub them with diluted oxalic acid, rims
ing them with clear water afterward.
An English arrangement In berries
and cream will be quite as effective and
delicious substituting nice sliced peach
es for the berries. Take u pretty china
dish, put n layer OF peaches slightly
crushed and sugared, then some cream,
more peaches and cream. until the top
is reached. Set the whole on ice until
quite frozen. Gu with a silver knife.
In canning peaches OF other large
fruit there is usually much more strip
than the fruit requires. This may be
put into jars by itself and can be used
for fayoring c%ustards, blanc mango md
pudding sauces during the winter.
Lace, white satins and silks keep a
much better color IL put away in blue
tissue paper, The Turkish embroider-
les in gold or silver should be wrapped
in several layers Of black tissue paper,
which prevents furnishing.
The test OF a canteloupe, a a Cats
kill grower Of the luscious fruit, is in it's
fragrance. Break a little piece from the
stem end with the thumb nail. II the
canteloupe smells spicy it is quite sure
TO be good.
Calls liver may be sliced, dipped In
fat, laid on a %gridiorn and broiled just
as well as chops or steak. Season, send
10 the table on a hot platter, and serve
on hot plates.-WaAhington Star.

sir james Vaughan, for IS years a
police magistrate Of London, notes n
wonderful decrease in crimes OF bru-
ta!ity and violence, and an increase. less
marked, in the crimes which require
brains and ingenuity. General educa-
ton doubtless favors morality and re-
inement; but there is in the cities a
limited crop OF children with inherited
or acquired criminal tendencies; and
when these are gathered into school,
unless great pains are taken TO coun-
teract the influences OF the street and
OF their wretched homes, the mere
q%uickening Of the intellect only gives
new power for mischief.

The order, which has been issu
ID to that effect, states that two
hundred women stenographers and
clerks will be affected and they
will all have to go except the very
small number whose long service
makes their retention a matter of
Justice. The order embraces the
entire Northwestern system, and
has created unbounded consterna,
ton along the line.
While the officers Of the railroad
company refuse to discuss the rea-
son for this step, it is taken for
granted that they have found the
employment ofwomen even though
cheaper, to be Improbable in the
long run. Women can never quail.
fy themselves to spend lifetime
at any one business, as they are
liable at any time to get married
no matter how urgently their ser
vices be needed. In all large in
stitutlons, employees naturally be
come the expert custodians of the
business of their employers anc
their continued service is neces
sary.
All of this leads back to the ole
conclusion, which modern apostles
of advancement are to apt to forget
that men have been made by nature
the wage earners of the world, anC
that it Is their duty to take care o
mothers, wives and sisters. While
1T is desirable that lines of worl
should be opened for women whit
have cares depending upon them
yet it is no pubic policy to encour
age the employment of women to
the Displacement of men. 1t is th'
duty of every man to work, as
is the duty of every man to have
wife, and thus provide for many o
those who are now at work. 1t il
all very well to talk about impos
sible conditions and demoraliz'
with anticipations which can neveI
be realized; but this is only one
place around which the hopes ant
am billions OF every man should cen
ter-the firesidc-and sitting by il
aiding him in that way in which
only wife can aid husband
should be the partner of hls joys
and his sorrows. If a man anC
woman thus united will do theil
full duty there will be quite al
much as the man can do to NEE
the outside world and earn the live
ing, while the task of keeping th'
home in order will furnish the ut
most labor and pleasure Of which
woman is capable.-EnterpriSe
