One of San Francisco's annual dis.
sipations is 'cushion" tea, held Just
before Christmas in order to fill up
the Golfers of the Woman's Exchange.
The tea" generally comes off at the
home of one of the wealthy women
managers of the Exchange, and people
flock to get peep at the home Of
aristocracy, as we'll as for the sake of
charity and cushions.
This year the ballroom of one of the
mansions of swelldom was pressed into
the service, and everywhere heaped
high on tables or piled upon diyans
and settees the cushions of silk,
velvet, cotton, leather and lace
fiaunted their varied beauties upon
the rasser-by.
The prices were as various as the
materials that had been fashioned into
cushions. They were within the reach
OF all pursos, but most of the wallets
that come to Woman's Exchange teas
are golden lined. Some cushions were
big and deep, with donkey ears at the
corners. Others were rounded and
edged with cord heavy as cable.
Some were of softest velvet; others
were stiff with embroidery in gold and
silver thread. Some wooed to rest;
others bristled with jewels and diff
ficult stitches. There were little
cushions for pins and big ones for
couches. Almost everyone was a
labor of love. They sold wonderfully
well. By evening it was low tide on
the tables and divans, and when IL
O'Clock came most of the cushions had
been scattered in many directions over
the city.-New York Mail and Ex.

The new Dutch premier of Cape
Colony has shown his loyalty and inn
perialism by proposing grant of
$3.50, 900 a year to the British admir-
atty. This is not novel. Australian
colonies having contributed to the i'm
perial navy for years. 1t shows, how
ever, that there is little cause to dis
trust the loyalty of the Afrikander
Bund, which placed Mr.. Schreiner in
power. There are good reasons why
British colonies should contribute to
support of the royal navy. 1t exists
chiefly for their protection, and for
that of their commerce. Any nation
at war with colonial power is at war
with all her colonies, and war between
England and naval power would in
volve sea attack on every British colo
ny and blockade of its ports. Cana
dian public men have talked listlessly
OF contributing to the British navy,
and they should do more than talk.
Canada is a great beneficiary of the
navy, and should not let smaller and
poorer colonies lead it in recognition
of that benefit.

Gloves should fit easily-neither too
tight nor too loose. In the first in
stance they make the hand appear
clumsy, besides stopping the circula-
ton of the blood, causing cold ex-
tremities and variety of other COM
plants which follow in its wake; and
in the latter case they wrinkle. Both
extremes are to be avoided.
In trying on gloves, which should
be as carefully fitted to the hand as
corsets are 70 the body, the hand
should be dry-entirely free from
perspiration. The fingers are first
inserted, and the incest care should
be taken that they are properly pushed
in, for the future wear and fit of the
glove depend upon how it is first put
on. After the fingers are worked on
the thumb is inserted and then the
upper part of the glove receives at
tention. Both gloves should be put
on before either is buttoned. Begin
at the second button and fasten the
glove, and then return to the first
and no trouble will he found in clos
ing it.
In removing gloves they should be
pulled off from the wrist, thus turning
them inside out and giving them ar
opportunity to dry and air.
Light-colored gloves give the hand
larger appearance than when
dressed in Darker hades.-American

AFew Things Women Can Do.

A recent English publication,
written by woman about women and
their work, gives some interesting
statistics regarding the popularity or
unpopularity of certain, lines of work
among the feminine sex. AT the head
of the list stand the women who are
engaged in agricultural pursuits. The
census of 1891 gives England and
Wales 81, 900 women employed in this
line of work, including field, garden
and pasture; $1,000 are farmers and
graziers; the number of doctors,
physicians and surgeons is given as
1000, but this is almost certainly an
error, as there is nothing like that
number.
There is also q remarkable variety
of pursuits from which to choose
mentioned by this writer, who evil

(perhaps because she is Mrs. her

Coming of the Long Skirt.

Unfortunately for comforf, the long
skirt appears inclined to stay, and
short skirts, even when fitted with
consummate art, certainly lack style,
but for country visits it is impossible
to wear the trailing walking skirts,
and short plaid skirt is a happy
thought when it contrasts prettily
with the coat of the tailor made gown,
and saves the long skirt immensely,
as it can be worn for country walks
and general morning rambles around
the homestead and gardens.
Skirts will certainly be elaborate
this winter. Many are built in tiers,
representing three or four skirts,
others are founced in the circular
fashion, and have fitted fronts and
tops, while simulated skirts are very
general already. All the smarter
skirts will actually touch the ground,
and require to be raised for walking.
Bodices in jacket style for home gowns

these tabs are frequently put on sep

dinner time (half past six), then after
dinner sleeps again, at nine has tea,
reads, or smokes, or talks, or lies on

about midnight, and so ends the day.

voice is clear and strong, he sees and
hears quito well; but for the rest. as

about. In general he is wonderfully
good-humored and contented; and on
the whole carries his eighty.four

A practical example of profit shar-
ing, is furnished by the New London
street railway company, says the Hart
ford Conn. Times. A few years ago
it inaugurated the plan OF appealing
to the employees to use all possible
care in running the cars, and all civil
ity in the treatment of passengers,
and in return offered the civility on
its own part of a share in the profits,
provided the employees responded to
the suggestion. The plan has worked
apparently to the satisfaction of all
concerned. The road has sent ont
notices to each of its employees that a
certain sum OF money has been placed
to his credit in savings bank on ac-
count OF this extra compensation. In
the city OF Norwich, sixteen miles
away, it is proposed to inaugurate the
same system before long.
