Pin Money For the Rich.

The devices of the daughters of
rich men to make their own money
are perfectly well known to the mana
gers of women's exchanges, which are
established solely to help poor women
put their work on the market. One
day was in an exchange when a wo-
man, evidently lady's maid, came in
and registered some embroidery in her
own name. The superintendent took
up the work and in casual way asked
the supposed artist to show her how
to do particular stitch. The woman
pleaded lack Of time and went out en-
barrassed and guilty looking. II thought
so," said the superintendent. 'She
brings her mistress work. Her mis-
tress is the daughter Of a very rich
man, but she has no pocket money,
and the poor thing has to cheat the ex-
change by selling her work here under
her maids name" e."-Everybody's Mag

POINTED PARAGRAPHS,

The very best man can do is not
very much.
Some way it causes a smile when a
married woman announces that she is
taking music lessons.
To be fool is always bad enough,
but to be fool and be in love is the
most fatal of all the combinations of
fool.
Remember when you run away from
punishment that punishment has a
great habit of waiting around till you
come back.
One of the most pitiful sights in the
world is an Intelligent, energetic, pro-
gressive woman married to a worthless
man who doesn't know much.

she should leave her father enough
money to pay for the relief expedition
he may be compelled to send to her

The way man describes business

associates wonder and wonder whether
they have not entertained business
prodigy unawares
The nearest way to a mans heart Is
through his stomach, and the nearest

to bear his name. In middle age> he Of

forget the same son.
One thing makes a mans tact glar-
ingly conspicuous, its absence.

otherwise than "a the wing Is Hike
finding a weasel ae,eep.
Once year the 1emale albatross dies
away few thousand miles to the
great, lonely island rock of Tristan
.d'Acunha, which hfts its deso3ate bead
far In the south Atlantic, or to some
equally remote place, and there lays
one egg In the hollow Of & rock.
The albatroes has always been bird
Of mystery, and In ancient times the
people believed that these unwearying
sea birds were the companions Of the
Greek warrior Diomedes, who were
said to have been changed into birds at
the death of their chief.
When America was discovered and
ships began to sail abroad to the Pa
cific ocean, to double the Cape Of Good
Hope and to explore the ''seven seas''
generally, the old belief about the alba
tross had been forgotten by the sailors
and explorers, but in their long and
lonesome voyages over waters which
were cut by no keel but their own and
upon whose vast expanse they saw no
other sail but theirs the presence Of the
albatross following the ship day after
day became great source Of comfort
and companionsh1p. So 1t came to be a
belief that i'll luck would follow any
one who killed one Of these birds, and
that belief is common among seafar-
ing men Of this very day. Co}erhge's
famous Rhyme Of the Ancient Mari
ner'' is based upon this belief.
Though the superstition about the
killing Of an albatross bringing bad
luck is only foolish one, it has served
useful purpose for many years in
preventing the slaughter Of these beau
tiful and gallant birds-the sailors
friends and the landsmen's wonder
Up in dfeary Kamchatka, that outly-
ing part Of Siberia which cuts into the
north Pacific, the natives, never having
heard Of the superstition about the al
batross, catch him and eat him. But
his flesh makes such poor food that,
after all, the legend may be said to
hold good, for one is indeed in bad luck
who has to make a meal of him.
