A Generous Secretary.

A curious story is told of Lord
Rowton in his younger days as Mr..
Montagu Cory when he was secreta-
ry to Lord Beaconsfeld. In 1868
came the Fenian outbreak, with the
Clerkenwell explosion and the con-
sequent desolation Of the neighbor-
hood. The private secretary walked
across from St. Arthur's club to a
fashionable harness makers in st.
James street and was at once fitted
with a strong leather girdle from
which depended two enormous peck
cts. Thus equipped, he drove to
Downing street to see his chief. "ln
heavens name, what is this :" was
the exclamation of surprised salute.
Il am going" replied the secretary,
ito distribute largess of silver and
copper to the Clerkenwell sufferers.
I have a hanson waiting below.
When l have placed some small
change in these pockets l shall drive
off,"
1t was of Lord Rowton that
Lord Sherbrooke said at his eleva-
ton to the peerage: "Caligula made
his horse a consul. l really see no
reason why Lord Beaconsfeld
should not create his private secre-
tarv a peer"

CONDENSED STORIES.
IN ltlnerant Preachers Description %
a Saints Glory.

a Saints Glory.
Cyrus Townsend Brady was talk
ing about the itinerant preachers
of the past.
"These men," he said, "were rug
ged and sincere. Their minds, If
they were coarse, were also strong.
Their eloquence was sometimes pow
erful. Sometimes it was amazing.
"There was notable itinerant
who once preached on the GLORY OF
the Saints and the description of a
saints glory that he gave in this
sermon deserves, 1 think, to be per-
petuated. This is the description,
word for word:
"'Who, my brethren, can describe
the glory of a saint? Why, nothing
on earth can iken it. If,you drill a
hole through the sun and put it on
your head for a crown and split the
moon asunder and put the pieces
on your shoulders for epaulets, if
you tear down the starry curtain OF
the skies and wrap it round your
body for robe and ride to heaven
on the lightning wings of the tenn
pest, this will be nothing to the
glory of the saints. ,"

How to Make Big Soap Bubbles.

1t is great sport to make soap
bubbles, but it is twice as much fun
if the bubbles are big ones, strong
enough not to break when they are
floated to the floor. Bubbles twice
as big as your head or as big as the
biggest kind of football can be
easily blown by any one who knows
how to mix up the soap bubble ma
terial. To make these big bubbles
take a piece of white CASTLE soap
about as big as a walnut. Cut it up
in a cup of warm water and then
add teaspoonful of glycerin. Stir
well and blow from a small pipe.
This will make bubbles enough to
last all afternoon, and this is all
you really care to make in one day.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How Mr.. Frogsie Sheds His Coat
Once Each Year.


Frogs change their skins after the
winter is well over and there is no
more danger of sharp winds and nip
ping frosts. And this is the way
they do it: A froggie whose skin is
"ripe" will go off all by himself and
sit under a big, broad plantain or
burdock leaf in the shade, just
blinking his eyes for an hour or
more. Sometimes he will shlver,
and his skin will seem to creep, and
presently he will "hunch" his back
and sit in the funniest round shout
dered fashion. Then a big crack
will appear in the thin, dry outer
most covering of his skin, often
from the middle of his flat head to
the tip end of his broad body. As
soon as he feels this he begins to
wriggle, and the dry, husky skin
splits wider and wider and rolls
back further and further until he
can reach the ragged edge OF 1t with
one of his feet. Then he begins to
scratch and at last peels it off his
legs and over his head just as little
people peel off their tight fitting
flannels sometimes. And then
dreadful to relate, though Mr.. Frog
gle enjoys it hugely-he rolls it all
up in little bunch and eats it!

The Badger as a Fireman.

A badger, which had made its home
among the granite cliffs, dealt with the
fire god with sagacity and skill, says
Nature. A friend. while painting a
sea piece discovered badgers lair,
and thought to play the animal prac-
teal joke. Gathering together bum
die of grass and weeds he placed 1t in
side the mouth of the hole, and igniting
it with match waited for the igno-
minious flight of the astonished house
holder. But Master Badger was a re-
sourceful animal, and not disposed to
be made butt of practical jokers. He
came up from the depths of his hole
as soon as the penetrating smoke told
him that there was fire on the prem
ises and deliberately scratched on the
burning grass with his strong claws
until all danger was past. No human
being could have grasped the situation
more quickly, or displayed greater skill
In dealing with an unfamiliar event.

LEAVES IN THE HAIR.

1t Is eminently correct to wear leaves
in ones hair, and apparently many
women are forsaking their tiaras and
crowns for simple green leaves. AT
the debutante dances of December
these small chaplets were extremely
popular, and Mrs. John Jacob Astor
has been seen with her brown hair
clasped by white leaves, tipped with
brilliants. The jewelers. who follow
closely the approval Of the fashionable
women are manufacturing silver and
enameled leaves, but the simpler silk
bits Of trimming are in better taste.
Flowers are not worn in the hair this
winter, although the holiday season
brought forth the use Of holly, and,
with some women, sprigs Of mistletoe.
Begonians are enjoying popularity this
year and some headdresses are made
gay with these waXy flowers. Pink,
however, is not used this year and be-
gonias suffer in consequence.-New

The Feats of Chicken FancIers.

The American Standard of Perfec-
ton, as drafted and copyrighted by the
American Poultry Association, con-
tains the names of 116 varieties Of
fowls, 115 of which are due to the de-
velopment of man. God made only
one-a' 'homely. wild thing, which made
its home in the jungle along with the
rest of primeval creation. By intelli-
gent breeding fanciers have produced
fowls of all sizes, from the diminutive
bantam to the mammoth bronze tur-
key; one tiny bit of feathered vanity,
weighing only few ounces, and the
other a bulky fowl weighing from
forty to sixty pounds-as much as a
half-grown boy. Results equally Won
derful have been accomplished in color
effects. There are varieties in red,
black, brown and white, with nearly
all possible combinations, beside buff
and Andalusian blue. The fanciers
have shown that they can lace, stripe,
spangle or bar the feathers of their
birds in any way to satisfy their indi-
vidual fancy. In fact, about all they
have left undone is to put their initials
on the feathers of their birds.-Leslie's
Monthly.

Women workers are invading every
line of employment. The census or
1900 makes returns for 303 separate
occupations, and in only eight Of these
do women workers fail to appear.
No one will be surprised that there
are no women among the soldiers, sail
ors and marines of the United States
Government, yet there are 153 women
employed as "boatmen" and sailors.
Women have not invaded the ranks
of the city fire department, still not
less than $40 women are returned In
the same general class Of "watchmen,
policemen and detectives"
Women have not taken up the en-
ployment of telegraph and telephone
"linemen," yet 22,556 of them are op-
orators for these companies.
There are no women apprentices and
helpers among the roofers and skaters,
yet two women are returned as en-
gagged in these employments.
There are 126 women plumbers, 45
plasterers, 167 bricklayers and stone
masons, 241 paper Ii ngers, 1859 paint
tlo anu SidHiSlo anu cIc hOiASh NeAh
penters and joiners.
No women are returned as helpers
to steam boilermakers, but eight
women work at this industry as full
mechanics. There are 1913 women
blacksmiths, 571 machinists. 1870
women workers in iron and steel, 800
in brass and 1T75 women workers in
tin.
Among unusual employments for
women are 100 workers as 'lumbermen
and raftsmen," 113 woodchoppers, 373
sawmill employees, 904 "draymen" and
teamsters, 232 undertakers, 143 stone
cutters, GO "quarrymen," Go white
washers, II well borers and TT sta
tionary engineers and firemen.
Women are largely employed in the
fish-curing business. at Great Yarmouth
and great proportion of them come
from Scotland. 1t has been computed
that of 10000 Scots who are engaged
in the fishing industry, about a quarter
are women who spend some part Of
their time in the curing Of fish.

SOUFFLE POTATOES,

Peel the potatoes; cut the sides
square, and trim off the corners, so as
to give all OWL shape. With one even
cut slice them one-eighth of an inch
thick the length of the potato; they
must be all, the same shape and size.
Soak them in cold water for half an
hour; dry them on napkin, and fry
them in fat which is only moderately
hot until they are soft, but not colored.
Remove and place them on sieve to
drain and cool. Then immerse them
in hot fat, when they will puff into
balls. Toss the basket and remove
any that do not puff. Sprinkle with
salt, and serve them on a napkin or
as a garnish. Holland potatoes best
suit this purpose; it is impossible to
get the same result with most Of the
other varieties.

WOMEN OF GENIUS,

The history of learned ladies, with
that of their works, is a subject which
awaits the historian. There have been
learned ladies in many ages; one would
like to compare their learning with
that of the scholars, their contempor-
aries.
Here are few-are their names
familiar, and how many of our readers
would pass an examination in their
works-Hrotsvitha the tenth century
Terence; Teresa Of Spain, Anne Maria
Schurmann, Antoinette Bourfgnon Of
Flanders, La Mere Jeannue, Juana
Inez de Ia Cruz-what about all these
lllustrious danes?
Antoinette Bourignon indited twenty
volumes with her own fair fingers;
Anne Maria Schurmann wrote philo-
sophlcal treatise proving that the fe.
male mind is as capable of learning
and Of science as that of the other
sex. In these days who would take
the trouble either to write or to read
such q treatise? She fell into mystic
ism in her old age and had strange
passion for eating spiders, but every.
thing must be permitted to genius.
Then there was Juana Inez de Ia
Cruz. She interests one strangely,
because she was a Mexican, and one
has never before or since heard of any
genius or learning coming from the
quarter between California and Texas
and the Terre del Fuego; it is a good,
large tract Of country, with a good
many people, among whom there seems
to be neither learning, nor science,
nor art, nor genius. However, Juana
showed the way. While still quite
young she disputed with the scholars
Of Mexico on equal terms. She wrote
poems in several quarto volumes. The
critics seem agreed that the lady's
verses are conspicuous for elegance,
but are deficient in energy.
AS for La Mere Jeanne, she was a
Venetian and not poet, but the au.
thor Of new system, which she her.
self-no one knew the fact so well
as herself-declared to be inspired. In
this system she assigned the dominion
of the world to woman instead of man.

THE GIRL WHO IS LOVED.

A woman cannot be said to be truly
attractive or popular unless she is
loved and admired by the members
of her own sex, as we'll as the opposite.
She must be welcomed by all, old and
young male and female, or she can
not be called an attractive woman
without reservation.
She must be herself, her best self, at
all times and with all people; she must
think and act for herself and express
her own opinions, rather than try to
copy some person she may admire or
who is admired by the lords of crea-
ton. Individuality, when combined
with polite manner and tact, is always
attractive. A woman's happy, infec-
tious laugh is better than medicine or
advice, and her CHEEKY presence is as
welcome as the sunshine.
A girl to be truly popular never says
mean things about other girls thinking
that the men will like her better, and
she doesn't try to monopolize the at
tentions of all the men at once, but is
willing to let other girls have their
share of admiration and attention
along with her. She doesn't NOPE and
retreat within herself If there are no
men about to admire her, but she
cheerfully sets about making the best
of matters without them and making
such companions as she has happier
and brighter for her presence.
If she has a grievance she keeps It
to herself, Tor a woman with a griev-
ance is very soon voted bore. The
weeping, fainting, sad-eyed young
woman is very much out Of style now
adays, not only in novels, but in real
life, and the healthy. happy, independ-
ent, cheerful and sunny girl has to-
tally eclipsed her in popularity
