THRIFTY FEM ALES.
There are Many Remuuerative OccuPa-
tioDs for Women.

There are Many Remuneratiye Occupa-
tions for Women.
One thrifty woman who had watched
the vegetables and fruit rotting day
by day at her grocer's, and which were
a dead loss to him, proposed that they
enter into an arrangement in the flu
ture whereby she should preserve and
pickle his entire surplus, either for
regular pay or upon commission, in the
latter case he furnishing the sugar and
spices. Another woman. with sharp
business instincts, butchers wife,
made up soup stock, and found ready
sale for it to many overworked house
keepers. Still another, who knew but
one thing thoroughly, and that was
cookery, called every morning at GER
tain physicians offices and formed list
of families in which sickness prevailed.
To these families she offered to come
every day for an hour or so and pre-
pare in their own homes mutton broth,
beef extract, chicken jelly, panada,
gruels, fruit and herb drinks, wine
whey, custard, ETC., furnishing her
time and labor cheaper than the arti-
cles could be bought at restaurants or
women's exchanges. Some women are
specialists in one branch. such as
handkerchief embroidering. lamp
shade making, fan painting, feather
curling, glove cleaning, and the like,
or can make beautiful neck scarfs, or
launder fine laces. Such can easily
make their speciality pay, some by the
aid of friends, some by the patronage
of dealers in such goods, some by a
house to house canvass made by them
selves. A young girl in one of the large
eastern cities was recently puzzled by
finding herself left almost helpless and
homeless, with no talent in any one
direction. There was but one thing of
which she never tired, and that was
of children, all of whom seemed to
adore her; so this young girl went out
at so much an hour to amuse sick and
irritable children. Many a worn-out
mother found her presence a most
grateful repose. She was indefatigable
in inventing new games and perfecting
old ones, and her naturally retentiye
memory came also to her aid as
story-teller. 1t is the woman who takes
advantage of opportunities, the woman
who can plan as we'll as execute, whom
the world wants and for whom it Will
push its ranks apart to make place.

GHOST SHIP.

Spectral Vessel Turns Out To BE Mar
veious Phenomenon.
The American clipper ship Luzon,
from the Hawaiian islands with a
full cargo of sugar, had a strange ex-
perience after rounding the horn.
When off the barren Staten land, in
good weather, and with scarcely any
sea on, the lookout reported sail. 1t
was about an hour before sunset. AL
though the Luzon was almost becalm-
ed, the vessel sighted was under close
reefed topsails. This made the Luzon's
mate think storm was bearing down
on him, and he speedily shortened
sail. Rapidly the stranger came near
er, and it could be seen that she was
partially dismasted forward. In the
meantime, however, the expected squall
did not make its advent. The strange
ship passed so close that it seemed as
though a biscuit might be thrown on
board. Still her crew paid not the
slightest attention to the Luzon. On
the latter CONSERVATION prevailed. The
appearance of the storm-tossed vessel
was so uncanny that the Luzon's men
were beside themselves with terror.
Not until it dawned upon Capt. Park
that the other ship was part Of the
known as the 'fata NOR
gana," where a vessel is reflected a
great distance, could he restore any
thing like order among the men. The
most remarkable feature of the incl
dent developed three weeks later.
When the Luzon was nearing the
equator she passed the Russian ship
Romisafoff. bound south. and her men
had no difficulty in Identifying her
with the mirage they had witnessed.
She had the same distinctive lines. and.
sure enough, her foremost had been

HER SALT CELLARS
The Guests Regarded Them as Beautiful,
Souvenirs.

The custom of giving souvenirs
to painful mistakes and certain Am
erican. we'll known in London as a
hostess, has reason to regret it was
ever heard Of. She was the happy
possessor of a dozen salt cellars of
repousse silver, very beautiful and al
most the apple of her eye and she was
giving a luncheon at which covers were
laid for fourteen. In the arrangement
of the table the precious salt cellars
had been placed for the guests, another
kind being supplied for the hostess and
her daughter. The cards designating
and through an oversight had re-
manned there. so that the absence Of
salt in them was not discovered, says
the London Onlooker Presently a
lady took up her card, saw the empty
salt cellar, and, remarking upon its
beauty, said it was lovely souvenir,
and slipped it into her pocket Her
example was promptly followed by the
rest of the company with the exception
of one woman. who had no pocket. The
hostess was petrified with despair and
horror as she saw her cherished pos
sessions calmly appropriated, but in
the face of the torrent Of acknowledge
ment and compliment, she had not the
moral courage to offer the necessary
explanation. After she had heard the
adieux of the last guest she sat down
and wept, and when it was discovered
that the woman without pocket had
forgotten her prize she seized upon it
with the concentrated affection which
the parent bestows on the last of many
children. Her joy, however, was short
lived. for next morning came a polite
note from the pocketless woman, say
ing that she had forgotten ner beau
tiful souvenir" and would Mrs. F. be
so very kind as to send It? !.

An amusingly put instance Of gov,
ernmental forethought in behalf OF
its agricultural class Is that credited in
a paragraph now going the rounds or
the press of Manitoba. A pest OF
grasshoppers annually descending
upon the farmers of this region large
ly nullifed their efforts at livelihood
gaining. To their relief came the de-
partment of agriculture, which not
only devised preventive measures.
but likewise hit upon novel method
of awakening the farmer to a realiza-
ton that the grasshopper was travel
ing his way. Instead of sending out
circulars or advertising in the news
papers, recourse was had to posters

himself in a wheat field. Underneath
the picture there stared the passing
farmer in the face, I'm this wheat bye
and bye" Report is silent as to wheth-
er the pun or the picture brought
about the desired result; the fact, how
ever, is that the Manitoba farmer
gave heed to the poster warning, and
as never before he prepared to over
come the noxious activity of the grass
hopper.-Vogue.

No one ever knew what passed in
that interview. Harvey briefly told
his wife he had begged for forgiveness

been the more culpable OF the two:
Together they would take up life I'M

He was very kind, very gentle; but
there was that in his manner and look
: which told her Harvey, the boy, was
dead, to make way for the grave. al
most stern man who henceforth walk

ate and true. yet with the ineffable
quality that tinges the humblest mar
rage with romance forever stricken
from his love.

Her beauty and vivacity made her the
center of wide social circle, and hav-

the arrival of her first child, nall

and long years passed before she again
saw Harvey. In the careworn man
with STOPPING shoulders she found 1t

life had gone hard with him. Tnere
were many mouths to feed at home
and all Helens thrift could not make
one dollar do more than the work OF
two.
! Long ago Gladys had wholly forgot

so much. Even now, though she had
many sons of her own. she loved her
unfortunate boy too we'll to allow him
