From the Washington Post: Mann
my Mary" who for three generations
had been nurse in the family of
General John b. Gordon of Georgia,
and who Is still with the family, had
the distinction of once proving that
the mountain would come to Moham-
med
In the course of her career she had
met many distinguished people, but
her own importance as a nurse in
distinguished family prevented her
from being overwhelmed by the
honor.
When Mrs. Cleveland during the
second term of her husbands presi-
dency visited the Gordons =: the gov
errors mansion at Atlanta she ex-
pressed the desire to see a genuine
old negro nanny. The carriage was
hitched up and Nanny Mary was sent
for at Sutherland, t1e Gordon country
place, which she preferred to the
noise and excitement of official life
at Atlanta.
When the coachman drew up he
found her smoking her evening pipe.
Not a step would she bulge. She
done say" said the unsuccessful en-
voy in solemn disgust, dat she don't
want to see no more presidents; she
done see nough presidents" Mrs
Cleveland laughed heartily when she
heard It, The next morning she drove
ont to see Nanny Mary herself.

From the New York Times: I'VE

ter had tucked us snugly in our births
when we were awakened to the CON
seriousness that our train was held
up The robbers marched us out of
the car and made us deliver. Fortu-
nately not one of us had more than
few dollars in cash. But the man
who held up the car porter gave a yelp
of delight:
See what I've found! Put 'em
back; start the train!
In the careless porter's vest pocket
they had discovered a roll of bills as
big as the pocket would hold. 1t
looked as if there must have been sew
eral hundred dollars. We all knew OF
the profitable righteousness of the
Pullman car porter, but never
dreamed that his accumulations were
so large. Yet the friendly human
spark of forgiveness and sympathy
was in our hearts for the poor fellow
losing so much at one fell swoop.
We were gathered in the smoking
compartment and had a consolation
purse under Amusement for the darby
when he came along himself.

The health OF plants. like that OF
children, depends largely upon the at
tention they get, especially during the
winter season.
Delicate plants should be housed be-
fore frosts become severe, and it is
September generally that they are re-
moved to the greenhouses or conserva-
tories. 1t is a good rule, after they
have been removed to their winter
quarters, to see that one plant does not
touch another, because not only do
blights pass from one leaf to another,
but coming in constant contact the
leaves become shriveled and some
times withered.
Once week there should be a
house cleaning" in the nursery, when
the stands should be busted and the
leaves washed or attended, suggests
the Philadelphia North American.
Plenty of fresh air is as necessary to
a plants health as to a child's, and It

Good Company for the Dog.

In the north of England, where rab-
bit coursing is very popular sport,
swift, well-trained dogs often win
large sums of money and local fame
for their owners.
An old Yorkshire collier, we'll
known for his success in the coursing
field, surprised his mates a year or
two ago by marrying a decidedly ugly
woman. In addition to this he was
generally considered confirmed
woman-hater

Grape Preserves.

Wash the fruit and then separate
the pulp from the skin, putting the
pulp into one saucepan and the skins
into a preserving kettle. Cook the
pulp until it is soft, and then put it
through colander to remove the
seeds. Put the pulp with the skins
and allow one and one-halt pounds of
sugar to every four pounds of fruit.
Place the kettle over the fire and heat
slowly until the mixture comes to a
boil. Cook five minutes and turn into
heated glass Jars and seal Grapes
cooked in this manner make delicious

Old Fairbanks House.

One must search far and wide 70
find more curious and interesting
old dwelling than the ancient Fair
banks house in the town of Dcdham,
few miles from Boston. This old
house was built by one Jonathan FAR
banks in the year 1896, and II mas
been the Mecca OF hundreds OF pill
grims interested in the architecture Of
more than $50 years ago. 1t Is easy to
people the house with the ghosts OF
the men and women who have lived
and died beneath its roof One regrets
that so little is known about the his
tory of the old house, but no written
history could add to the picturesque
ness OF its appearance. Generation
after generation of the Fairbanks fam
lily have occupied the old house. In
deed, it has never been occupied by
any one but descendants of its builder.

AS class, women regard good LOOKS
as their most valuable asset in ire yet
II they are to engage In business they
find that beauty is a handicap they
cannot easily overcome. a few years
ago, when woman began to enter Dusi-
ness life In considerable numbers,
handsome face was esteemed a great
advantage. Today the reverse IS true
Those still youthful can remember dis-
tinctly when 1t was next to Impossible
for n homely girl to get situation
Good looks were insisted upon in type
writers and stenographers, ana mer-
chants were then under the impress
sion that pretty clerks brought trade.
II took some time to explode that IDEA
The pretty clerks certainly attracted
crowds to their counters but they were
crowds of dudes and loafers, who
would buy a five-Cent paper or pins
and then flirt away three or four dol
lars worth OF time, while the women,
who constitute four fifths of the pa
irons OF all retail houses, had strong
aversion to being waited upon by
professional beauty. Moreover, no
dependence was to be placed In the
clerks themselves. The handsomcst
girls were pretty sure to ne vain and
"touChy," and when one proved really
valuable she was morally certain to
get married at the very time her serv-
ices were most needed. So practical
men began to see that pretty clerks
did not pay, as a cold business propo-
sition, and the same discovery was
presently made at the offices. Type
writing bellies made more trouble than
they were worth. They demoralized
their fellow-employes and created no
end OF jealousy and bitterness and
friction. In many cases, perhaps in
most, the poor girl wasn't in the least
to blame. She couldn't help being
good to look at, and was probably try
ing her best to attend to her own af-
fairs, but the idiotic men wouldn't let
her. However, results are the only
things that count in business nova
days and few years ago big reaction
against beauty set in, and now pretty
faces are at discount.
