gasped over the barefaced frauds which

A STINGY RICH WOMAN.
Attempts to Dispose of Secondhand
Clothes and How They Failed

SiotneS ana HOW Ihey rallied.
That 1aany rich women are stingy
in small matters has long been recog
nized, largely through hints dropped
by tradespeople and servants, but a
well-known facial masseuse had an ex-
perience with patron which certainly
capped the climax of her intercourse
with rich women. Her patron had laid
aside ball gown in tolerably good con-
dition and the maSSeuse counted among
her friends a struggling young actress
who, she thought. might utilize the dis
carded frock. says the New York World.
The deal went through. the actress pay
ing SO for the gown. which had cost
SO. BY making it over with some new
material and the aid of her own deft
fingers she had beautiful stage dress
for $50.
4 week later the masseuse received
from the rich patron a most remarkable
communication.
"My dear Miss P" it ran: 81 am
sending you a few articles of dress
which 1 would like to dispose of. 1

see it would be quite impossible for me
to allow them 10 come here, but | am
sure as you did so well with my blue
net you can dispose of these for me to
great advantage
Not a word about commission. The
lady simply took it for granted that the
meek and lowly masseuse would be
glad TO thus show her appreciation of
fashionable patronage.
When the little masseuse came home
that night to her boarding house, which
was by no means questionable, she
found three boxes damned into her
room and a vigorous kick from the
landlady, who had been annoyed with
would-be buyers the entire day. The

fusal to act as commission agent. At
last accounts worried little dress

and the more independent masseuse
was short one customer.

Education Bill Passed.

By a majority of 1872, the British
House of Commons adopted the education
bill, which is the principal measure intro
duced by the liberal government. The
main features of the bill are against al
lowing public money for UNCONVENTIONAL
instruction, and that all schools receiving
public support are to give the same re-
ligious instruction two mornings a week
by special staff, but attendance on these
exercises not to be compulsory. The bill
now goes to the House of Lords, which is
expected to oppose it. The House of
Lords, on the same day, advanced the
Irish laborers' cottages bill, authorizing
a loan of 500, 100000 to construct cot
tages in Ireland.

Corn Makes Huge Strides.

The corn crop is also making gigan-
tic strides and promises to make as
great a gain in the last few. months of
its existence as it did last year, when
it gained nearly 100000 bushels be-
tween August and harvest. During July
it gained nearly 100000 bushels, and
it is now only. 100000 bushels behind
last years yield, which was the great
est on record for this or any country.
The oats crop is about 100000
bushels short of last years, which was
in turn the second largest ever raised
in the United States Despite this i'm
mense shortage it is till a large crop
and above the average.
