Charles Kingsley's Daughters. Rose Kingslev in Wide Awake: Let me tell you how we were taught to help those who helped us in our dear ol home at Eversley Rectory. « sourse in a busy house where every a8 work to do, the servants cannot be helped much week days: except by thoughtfulness in little things. But there is the seventh day, when the * chil- dren have no lessons to do. ] was what we were taught to look upon as the “helpers’ ' day of rest, as far as we could make it so. {n the morning breakfast was earlier than usual. While we were breakfasting the maids were emplying our baths for they were too heavy for us children. As 8oon as breakfast over we trotted off to our rooms, made the beds, folded up and put away all our clothes, dusted— and in fact put things straight all round. ‘Thon we ran down to the dining room and laid the table for dinner; and capital butlers we all became, I assure you. By these means the maids were all” ready in their nice Sunday dresses to go to church with us all at 13, Dinner Sunday—no matter who was with us—was at 1 o'clock instead of 7. This was the only hot meal in_the day. No cooking was done after 1 o'clock, as our supper was cold. At both dinner and supper the servants were sent away and we waited at tablo. I laugh now when 1 think of the faces of horror of Jearned men or gallant soldiers who had come down to spend Sunday in the dear old rectory or ridden over from Sand- ‘hurst or Aldershot to the morning ser- vice. The a, s they went through at being waited on by the daughters of the 'house! The struggles they made to be allowed to change their own plates! And ftheir resigred submission when. quietly host, “It is the way of the That was how we were made to help the faithful and devoted servants who spent their lives in helping us. [t 'was not much. But 1t gave them an al- most free Sunday. A Bonanza Queen’s Crown Jewels. Eclectic Magazine: It is said in Paris that Mrs John Mackay owns the finest jewels in the world. Two specimens certainly take precedence over any of the kind that are known. One is a sap- f‘hxrq that sho bought for $150,000 from a ussian prince. It measures a centimetre, about four-tenths of an inch in diameter, and has no defeot. She also owns the most splendid emerald known. Amonf: her other toys is a necklace of pearls ‘worth $100,000, and a set of corals, com- prisi n% a brooch, crown, bracelet, ete., all of the most delicate rose color, each piece covered with diamonds. It took two years searching to complete the col- lection of fimus. and there exists only one other like 1t, and that belongs to the queen of Portugal. Further than these is a pair of solitaires worth $425,000. One of them was bought at the sale of the effects of the duke of Brunswick, and the joeweler who was commissioned with se- curing its mate was upward of two years in getting it. Most of these jewels, ns well as a *rox\l quantity of valuable lace, will probably come, some day, to the Princess Colonna, the daughter of Mrs. Mackay. . Women Braver Than Men. Reading (Pa.) Herald: I was talking with a dentist the other day, and, much to my surprise he told me that women underwent dental operations much better than men. He said he vastly preferred ‘women patients, because they were less trouble, submitted more easily to what was necessary to be done and bore the little hurts nocessary to such operations with greater fortitude. “A woman has wuch more endurance,” he said. ‘“‘As s00n a8 you begin to operate on a man's tooth he begins to fidget and shrink, and every time you touch a tender spot he wants to jump out of his chair. His conduct makes the operator nervous and tired The average woman however, will sit through a whole afternoon of drilling and filing and hammering at her teeth like a major. Youn are able to do more more satisfactory work for her, and feel less fatigucd when you have finished. A female gives a somewhat louder scream #han a man when she has a woth pulled, but she approaches the forceps more bravely and is not so aptto have the toothache scared away by the sight of the dentist, asis so often the case with the patient of the male persuasion.” Making Themselves Healthy. New York Sun: The women are doing more, perhaps, to make themselves healthy and pretty than they ever did or ad a chance to do in modern times be- fore. Horseback riding, swimming, walking, oxercising in gymnasiums, sparring, playing games that strengthen muscles and develop forms, and studyin, hygiene—with as little study and as niuc! fun as possible—are some of their devices. ‘Why, the yo\mi women are undergoing a revolution! Their mothers don't know what to make of them—though eandor compels the ndmission that a great many of the mothers are paying as much at- tention to the subject as any one- except that they may not all have the new scienco down as finely as that lily of the stage who is described in the provincial ruperl as ulkhlil cold bath every morn- ng to preserve her health, washing her face with cold cream instead of water so as to avoid wrinkles, nud walking like a postman to keep herself muscular, Miss Braddon's Big Income. Cosmopolitan: Novel-writing now- adays is a precarious and not very rmm- able calling. A very fair price, as thin , i3 $3,000 for the serial rights of a full- f:ng(h story, and assuming that the au- thor makes $100 byh(he three-volume edi- much by a cheap edition, rofit would amount to §2,800— nsidering the labor writing of a novel ia- other hand. are ua- of li‘:?l' flud is RS 00 a8 pro- Braddon he can make, if not THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SU a great fortune, at any_rate a handsome income by his pen. Miss Braddon, I should think, makes more money by fic- tion than any other writer of tho day. Her fertility is prodigious. I believe Miss Braddon gets about $5,0%0 for the serial rights of a new story, and as she writes something like two a year, or at the rate of three in two years, her takings from this source aloneé must be considerable. There may be two or three writers who command a8 high a price, but none who is equally popular and prolific. Whether her works will live is another thing. I am speaking of the present. London Needlewomen. All the Year Round: The women en- aged in the shirt trade are to the full as fil off, as badly paid and as much to be pitied as were their sisters in the dav when Hood sang their sorrows and suf- ferings. ‘The woman who is solely de- pendent upon shop shirtmaking starves rather than lives by it. She soon be- comes in very deed The seamstress, lean and weary and wan, With only the ghosts of garments on, who In poverty, hunger and dirt, Sews atonce with a double thread A shroud as well as a shirt. Happily many of the shirt hands are not dependent upon the earnings of their needle. Numbers of the married women of the poorer classes work at the shirt trade with a view of supplementing the wages of their husbands, and the additional income thus gained, though it may be but three or four shillings a week, sensibly increases the comfort of the househoid. Considering the wretched prices paid for the work, the surprising thing that the women should earn even as much at it as some of them do. Take the buttonholing—the leading branch of the work in Tencment street. The holes are rough punched in the factories, the work of the outdoor hands being to stitch them round. This buttonholing is admittedly *‘niggling,” work, and yet the rate at which itis paid for by the sweaters is a penny per dozen collars. As each coliar has three holes the hand, who ftnds her own needle and cotton, has to stitch Lhirt*y x holes for a peuny. Even so, some of the experts by working long hours, by risi early on summer mornings and sitting late on winter rights, by living on food that is “ready to be put into the mouth,” chiefly bread” and butter, and eating as they work; by acting on these lines some of the buttonholers will earn as much as eight or nine shillings per week, The prices paid by the manufacturers who give it out in the first instance are prob- ably such as would enable a skilled and industrious hand to make a living wage; but as matters stand such men are al- most_compelled to employ middlemen, and the tender mercies of the sweater are cruel. The Swedish Nightingale's Mate. London Truth: Count de Casa de Miranda, now the lawful husband of Christine Nilsson, is the son of a lady who was governess to the late Queen Mercedes, and who was raised to the rank of marchioness by King Alfonso. The count a good many years ago led a Boulevardier sort of life in Paris. After the Spanish republic collapsed he was en rapport with the Svanish embassy. His particular function was to work the press. Those journalists who were in relation with him found him the pink of obliging courtesy, and he was in a good many instances bon comarade. He could be a “tartar” when he liked, but he pre- ferred not to be one often. If my mem- ory does not deceive me he was arrested in'the winter of the siege as a French spy by the Prussians and taken to Ver- sailles to be interrogated by Bismarck in person. The terrible chancellor made a conguest of him. » New York Gi Who Walk, The New York Walking club—there is a club, of course, Young America does nothing singly—has ~been organized within a raonth. Its binds its members, *“society’ girls all, to five miles a day in fair weather, to two milesin foul. It'has a club pace, a_clib costume and a club rendezvous. Three miles and a half an hour is the rate of motion it insists upon, and Wednesday afternoons are fixed for its grand meets. In the matter of weara- 8 it is at once latitudinarian and spe- It has abjured the corset—was the like ever heard before?—and high heels area tabooed barbarism. Long skirts are on the forbidden list, and walking jackets, with coat sloeves as far removed as possible from the arm-confining dol- man, are written down among the neces- saries, ‘Women's Rights in France. A French deyuty has made a proposal to amend the law relating to women's civil rights in France. There 18 much need for some alteration, for, although women have have perhaps played a more important role in the history of France than any other couptry, they have been persistently refused the ordinary liberties which the sex enjoys elsewhere. As the law stands at present, women in France may do what they like with their personal property; they may carry on, business as merchants—and in many cases they are head of commercial houses—but ‘their privileges stop there. Single or married they cannot be witnesses in civil suits; they cannot attest a birth or a death, tes: tify to the identity of a person known to them, nor take part in family councils. M. Ernest Lefevre's proposition, which will likely be adopted by the chamber, will remove these inequalities, Adventures of Two Plucky Girls, St. Paul (Minn.) dispatch in New York Herald: A singular and _romantic_story comes by telegraph from Windom, Minn., a small town in the southwestern part of the state. Two young children wan- dered into the town on Saturday even- ing. Their ages were about fourteen and sixteen, They gave their names as Charles and Bertie Byers, of Rochester, N. Y. It was soon discoyered that they were girls in boys' clothing, and then they udmitted their names were Katie and Lily Byers. Their story was that when very small they lived at Lindsuy, Ont. They removed to Rochester after their parects’ death, being taken there by u Yrother, W, A. Byers, now a resi- dent of Calgary, Northwest territory. Being badly treated at Rochester, they started without money to join their brother at Calgary. n order to get away they dressed in male attire. Their trip from hester to Windom was made on foot and in box cars as tramps. ‘ney are eared for at Windom, W. A, Byers, at Calgary, has been communi- cated with, Gossip for the Ladies. There are 60,000 women farmers in Ireland. In South America the Iadies have a custom of throwing valuable fans upon the stage instead of bouquets. A woman in Ohio eate notning but pie. She has not tasted meat, bread, or veget- ables for sixteen years. The two ladies in the New York school board voted against each other on the question of fining a teacher for slapping & pupil, It is estimated that 7,000 young women earn their living as governesses in pri- vate English families with salaries at $100 a year, Mme. Minnio Hauk has been appointea Ollicier del I'Academie for services ren- dered to French musical art—a distine- tion rarely conferred on a lady. ‘The wadow of Anthony Trollope is de- scribed as a charming old lady with lovely white hair. She is still oneof the lights of the literary society in London. Mary Anderson, after ltudyl:s French P has decided to produce “A 'wle” vury elaborately at Not- tingham, preparatory to her London 80 Ason. In Ontario allg single women and widows with the" proper qualifications can vote, and that is one reason why all the municipal oflicers 1n that province are such sweet, mild-mannered, go-home- at 6 and wear-slippers kind of men. The girls at Covington, Ky., have orga- nized & boycott which invoives non-asso- tion with young men who get drunk. girls have introduced what no man had wit enough to devise—a boycott that is bothexpedient and lawful. The Travelers' Aid Socicty, instituted by Lady Frances Balfour, has for two years done an excellent work in befriend- ing unprotected girls and women travel- ing in England, and has now extended its good offi to embrace the seaport towns. Three hundred voluntary local agents are connected with the society. A new opening for women is the posi- tion of “‘walking lady.” Her duties are to suffer herself to be made an automaton to rush the season. This month, for in- stance, she appears in full spring cos- tume at places where women most do congregate, and, of course, attention 18 attracted to the peculiar style of gar- ments she wears, to the manifest advan- tage of merchants who have those peci- liar styles for sale. She must have a tine tigure, a pret'y face, and youth to fill the bill, At the professional matinee tendered by Mme.Bernhardt to the actors and actresses of New York the flower of the profession turned out. They went there enthusias- tic, they grew wildly so as they sat through™ the four acts of ‘“Fedora,'’ tosssd flowers upon the stage, cheered with exceptional intensity, wepl with fervor,and generally ‘‘took on in a great way. It was a galaday for the Freneh star, for the American stars and starlets, and for the managers, and in fact for everybody. During 1886 the higher classes for girls in St. Petersburg were attended by 743 students, a_considearble increase upon the figures in former years. Ever since 1864 it has been possible for women to ob- tain university degrees in Russia, and 1n 1870 the ranks of medicine were opened to them. Sweden followed the example in a few months, and was therein soon joined by Norway. At the recent ex- amination of medical students at St. Petersburg fifty-four ladies obtained the medical diploma. The thirty-eight female students who have entered their names for the next examination will be the last to be admitted to the Russian school of medicine for women, which is about to be closed. Mme. Christine Nilsson, now Countess Casa Miranda, was informed by’ an as. trologer that she would have trouble from two causes—fire and lunatics. This rediction was verified, for, during the Jhicago fire she lost $20,000, and when Boston was burned her loss was $200;000. In New York some years ago u crazy man followed her for a week, believing that the words addressed by Marguerite to Faust were intended for himself. In Chicago a poor student decided to marry her, and wrote passionate letters, to which he received no_answer. One day he camein a superb sleigh, drawn by four horses, to take his afianced bride to the church. Mr. Jarrett quieted him by saying: “You are late. Mlle. Nilsson has gone there to wait for you.” The third insane person was her husband, M. Rouzeaud, who died in an asylum. —-—— RELIGIOUS. * Cardinal Vannutelli has bean detinitely ap- pointed to succeed Cardinal Jucobini as papal secretary of state. The Duke of Westminister will give §5,000 a year during the remainder of his life for the building of churches in Great Britain. Twenty-two members of the present senior class at Princeton college intend to enter the ministry, the largest proportion in many years. . Rev. Justin Dewey Fulton, D. D., late pas- tor of the Baptist tabernacle church in Brooklyn, has given up the pulpit and started out in a crusade aganst Romanism. ‘The Rev. Rev. Dr. Robert R. Meredith, of the Union_Congregational church, Boston, will succeed Dr.” Pentecost as pastor of the ‘Tompkins Avenue Congregational church, Brooklyn, at the same salary, $7,000. In his discourse at Trinity church, Boston, on the Sunday after Mr. Beecher's death, Rev. Phillins Brooks declared that the three greatest Americans of the century were Daniel Webster, Abraham Lincoln, and Henry Ward Beecher. The Washington agents of the depart- ment of the Women’s Christian Temperance union for the suppression of impure litera- ture, of which Mrs. Nellie H. Bradley is superintendent, have declared war against cigar-store advertising cards representing the nude in art. ‘There 1s a movement on foot in the Pro- testant l'}rlu‘mml church to make provision for the widows and orphans of the clergy of their communion by the regular taxing of the churches, similar to the tax for the support of the bishop, the tax to be iuvested as a fund for widows and orphans, A professor of the art of training the memory adduces as a shining examole of his success the case of a Connecticut elergyman, who, after tive lessons, was enabled to com- mit to memory two sermons in two hours. He thinks that it clergymen in general should recite their sermons. rather than read them, the world would be better. ‘The treasury department has denied to the ‘*Ho Wong Joss House” ot San Francisco, a'soclety established for alleged religious pur- poses, permission for the free entry of a figure of a dragon,representing the god or Joss Ho Wong. ‘The tigure is about one hundred feet lonyg, and is composed of paper, sill metal, glass, feathers, tinsel and goats’ _T'he theological seminary established fifty live years ago by the Society Evangelique, of meva, 10 which the well-known Merle 1Y’ Aubigne was most of his life a professor, has trained and sent out 500 pastors an wissionaries.

Cardinal Gibbons has communicated this expression of opinlon of the holy father to Dr. McGlynn. Much interest has been excited by the an- nouncement that Captain Conder, of the Palestine exploration expedition, has suc- ceeded in deciphering and translating the Hittite inscriptions. ‘T'en principal texts are known, and Captain Conder clalms to haye interpreted all of them. ‘Three of his translations, published in the London Times, are invoeations o the sun and water gods, and, apparently, to the divinity of the moon. A correspondent of the Boston Watchman plctures the perils of Awerican students in Germany, “When 1£18 known,” he writes, pon what waves of unbeljef the student in a German university is compelled to ride, what tides of rationalism he imust stem, an whatbillows of positive infidelity he 1s to encounter, it behooves him and his friends to look well to the boat in which he starts out. 1t will not do for lnm to begin to paddle with the oar of *higher eriticlsm’ or rely unon the ‘New ‘Theology’ to "carry him e @The Dudiey Cast of Countenance.

Since her mother has cen out west, Mrs. Cleveland has not gone out to Red Top, but has driven about the streets of the city. The other day an Englishman was walking on the street, when the white house carriage came along,and he saw Mrs.Cleveland for the tivst time, The fresh air had made her cheeks red and rosy and she looked very beautiful. The !‘.nfilbhm n was struck by her beauty, and exclaimed: “Ah! she is pretty. By far prettier than the pictures offered for sale in the London shops.

Fair Nellle, hoping she won’t get too stout, Her father scheeming toincrease his hoard, e over all the preacher’s voice rings out, *‘Hear us, good Lord.” While Charlie prays the tailor will give time, Maud sighs for gowns she knows she can't afford, Ang Helen hopes that flirting Is no sin, *“Hear us, good Lord.” Some wish for luxuries and some for love, Some for revenge, some only sign for rest, Some fix their souls upon the realms above, Some laugh and jest. I often wonder does the preacher know _What lies behind the masks of seriousness Upturned before him, placid, row on row, I wonder does he guess! Well, I myself have little cause for pride For following aimlessly this idle dream Instead of hsh-ulnzy rapt and eager-eyed, Unto the preacher’s theme. ‘The benediction finished, we arise, Let’s vow while going to our several din- ners, To try to be. so far as in us lies, A decent lot of iserable sinners.” Grover Thought it was Jim Blaine, Washington Criti “Daniel,”" re- marked the president this morning, as he sut at his desk, absent-mindedly scrib- bling 1888 on his blotter pad. *Yes, sire,” responded Daniel. “Have you noticed by the vavers that we are to have ‘Jim, the Penman,’ in town soon “Yes, sire. ome one told me he had seen it ed, but I haven't seen anything of it.

San Francisco Chronicle: He was dying. He had been a speculator in stocks when he was rich, a broker when he was half bankrupt, and a chipper all the rest of his life. He had held up the railings in Pauper alley for ‘y"ears, and he bad stuck by the Comstock through all its darkest days. Life’s margin was ex- hausted, and he was about to be sold out of existence. The doctor haa given him up, and his wife, who through all his visionary life had made believe to see with his'eyes, was by his bedside. *I'm going, wife. This is my last deal.

This in itself is not very strange, but when the statement 1s added that he was a musical eritic, the world at large may be curious to know how it is that musical critics grow so wealthy. We will gladly throw some light on the subject. The music critic generally suffers from only one malady.
