Ain’t another one like her any- where. Make n good catch, too, for some fellow, only he scould have plenty of hustle to him, else he'd get laid out. She's a ripper. Runstwo ranches and makes a barrel of money. **You see, she is a girl who is alone mn the world. Two or three years ago her only relative, a brother, died, and co iently she had to run the property, She is Miss Ellen Callahan. Everybody throughout the Sierra valley knows her. She has become quite famous lately, She P the steers and plow as much as anybody. She ecan build fences, pitoh hay, or take her place with acrew of men at a threshing machine and keep even with any of them. As for riding refractory mountain ses, she’s a regular vaquero. 1t takes t yisupple and long-jointed nag to get her off now, I tell you. He'd need to be lubri d with the best material a-going to do it. “*Miss Callahan has gone into_the cat- tle business a good deal lately. Itis only a few days ago since she sold forty-six beeves in one lot to James Miller for $2,312.75. And, if you think she ain't shrewd on a trade, all I have to say is sho got 8} cents for. them, which is the highest pr'in:u paid in the Sierra valley eral y ‘“‘She wouldn’t take paper money-— nothing but gold—and she carried it all home with her and stowed it away in her cabin. She has a holy horror of bank: and thinks they do little else but swind Now, some people might think this girl would be game for robbers, but she wouldn’t. I'have an idea it would be a sorry time for the man who got to poking his nose about her place. She can shoot and she does it, too, whenever the oc- casion requires.” The Law of Attraction. Philadelphia Pre; M minor matters itis, of course, universally admitted that short men as a rule prefec tall women, while tall men admire Little women. Dark pairs by preference with fair; the com- monplace often runs after the original. People bave long noticed that this at- traction toward one’s nyposile tends to keep true the standard of the race; they have not, porhaps, so generally observed that it also indicates roughly ‘the exist- ence in either individual of 'a desire for its own natural complement. It is diffi- cult here to give definite examples, but everybody knows how, in the subtle psy- chology of falling in love, there are in- volved innumerable minor elements, ph*uicll and mental, which strike us ex- actly because of their absolute adapta- tion to form with ourselves an adequate unfon., Of course we do mnot definitely seek out and discover such qualities; in- stinct works far more intuitively than that; but we find at last, by subsequent obsorvation, how trustworthy were its immediato indications. That is to say, those men do so who are wise enough to follow the earliest promptings of their own hoarts and not be ashamed of that divinest and deepest of human institu- tions, love at first sight. How Women Lose Their Hight. ‘Women, especially those of the upper classes, who are notobliged to keep the sclves in condition by work, lose middle age—sometimes earlier—a con- siderable amount of their hight, not by stooping, as men do, but by actual col- 1a sinking down—mainly to be at- tributed to the perishing of ‘the muscles that support the frame in consequence of the habitual and constant pressure of stays and dependence upon the artificial support by them afforded. Every girl who wears stays that press upon these muscles and restrict the free development of the fibres that form them, relieving them of their natural duties of sup;:orting the spine—indeed, incavlnlmtin* them from so tlolnfi--mny feel sure she 18 pre- paring herself for a dumpy woman. Fail- ure of health among women when the vigor of dyoul.h passes away is but too patent and but too commonly caused by this practice. Most women, from long oustom of wearing these stays, are reall; unaware how much they are hampere: and restricted. A giri of twenty,intended by nature to be one of her finest speci- mens, gravely assures one that her stays are noflifiht‘ being exactly the same size a8 those she was first put into, not per- celving her condemnation in the fact that she has grown five inclies in height and two in shoulder breadth. Her stays are not too tight, because the constant pres- sure has prevonted the natural develop- ment of the heart and lung space. Women as Ranch Owners. Boston Post: It is interesting to know that among the oeccupations which are opened to women the hard Iife of ranch- ing bas been one in which she has been partcularly successful. The very hard- +hipa are said to have n fascination for vae who has » bit of love of adventure in her nature, and some women bred I'=re in the east have this nonll{ l?- 1osed to be masculine trait strongly de- veloped. A horsewoman with cou and endurance can find a vast field for her out-of-doors inclinations in managing a cattle ranch, or even a oh for that matter. 1fa ranchwoman is successtul it is for the same reason that the ranchman i8 successful—because of energy, the possession of capital, and hard wuli against countless discourage- ments and sacrifices, There 18 no royal way to fortune either eastor west. 1 have in mind as an instance of a success- {'nl cattle raiser & lady who lu:‘ lwlen rought up again: the enervating in- fim“‘n:o Jl city-bred girl's life,and who had spent much of her freshness in the Soleties of the ropros entative social center of the country. When she became the wife of an army officer she learned the valuable lesson of adapting herself to circumstances In this way she re- ce. 1 an education which was to fit her to become one of the most successful ranch-owners in the southwest, when, on the death of her husband she found her- self alone i the world with a modest capital. Therc 1s no suggestion in the wholesome, robust, successful ranch- woman of that deficate hothouse flower which was the picture of her first youth. Workingwomen in England It has been caleulated that there arein Eng| st 3,000,000 of women and girls in ind: ial employment, only half of whotn 4 in dowmestic employment, and, in fact, that half the working-class families of the land are partly maintained by women, while as to wages,the amount of their nn?' is s0 small—at any rate those of them who hive in London—=that ‘“‘one might suppose that they worked for amusement rather than for a liveiihood.” From time to time, the British Weekly remarks, efforts have been made to at- tract attention to their deplorable posi- tion, but these have been speedily forgot- ten, and the public has failed to take hold of the presentand future condition of our workingwomen, In these circumstances it has been suggested that the celebra- tion of Queen Victoria's jubilee affords a fitting occasion for briging under the notice of her majesty and her people the hard lot of many thousands of her sex, and that a representative conference and great public assemblies should be held ut or about the date of the jubilee to discuss the many questions aflecting the pros- pects of workingwomen. At a prelimin- ary conference it was resolved that such 4 national conference should be held within the next three months, A Weakness of Her Sex. Boston Letter in Chicago Tribune: One of the medical examiners here is ina dilemma which, although involving a large amount of money, raises an amus- g point, He was called to Charleston to investigate the case of a girl who had com- mitted suicide by taking carbolic acid. Calling a carriage he drove to the street and number ndicated to him. He was shown into the chamber where the body of the girl lay extended on the bed. Taking out his notebook he prepared to set down the facts needed for filling out his certilicate before he made his exam- ination, What is the girl's name?” he asked. “Kate——"" was the reply. “Kate,” he repeated, writing. " responded the supposed corpse, opening her e Of course he immediately abandoned recording the particulars of her death and devoted himself to her preservation. She was sent to the hospital and has since recovered. The joke of the matter is that by law the charge of a medical ex- aminer for carriage hire can only be passed by the auditor when accompanied by a certificate of death, and as the girl in this ease did not die, Dr. —— is out of pocket some #5 or #6. There is appar- ently no recourse except from the patient herself,and as she is pretty near absolute dissolution it does not secem likely that the bill wiil be paid by her. HONEY FOR THE LADIES. Big hats are rarely beautiful this season. Small combs and tancy pins are worn all over the high coifTure. Ecru robes, with both colored and white embroidery, are considered very chic. Morre, antique aud Chantilly, or any an- tique family laces, are used for June brides’ dresses. Gypsy hats, lezhorn flats, turbans and high- crowned large Louis X'VIround hats are all in favor for summer wear. Colored embroidered robes are sold as low as 8250 this summer, and they are as fash- ionable as they are pretty and cheap. White weol tailor gowns are made for country.house ana summer resort wear in very simple, severe, but graceful styles. A dress for a young girl eight or ten was of oak spotted delaine, bows of velvet on shoulders and loop and bows at the waist. “Mary,” sald a woman to & new servant, “‘when you han the clothes be careful always to put the ni picces nearest the street.”” “Never appear consclous of your bustle,” says a fashion writer, ‘That'sall'well enoug! but suppose you forget and try to sit down? What's to pay? Girls are so scarce in Dakota that when a uew girl enters a territory all the brass bands turn outen masse and serenade her with “Sweet Violets.” Skirts made with fancy materials to wear with polonaises or upper draperies of variouns kinds are coming into general use, and very useful they are. A dress for a little one of from two to three years was of biscuit openwork em- broidery, with sash and shoulder bows of poppy-red ribbon. Another for a miss of ten was of china- blue zephyr, with trimmings of eream em- broidery ; neck and waistband of creamn in- sertion, with silver buckle. ‘The latest fancy in throat and wrist dress- ing Is the band of fine thread batiste, with open work hem. basted within the high col- lar and deep cuffs of the dress. The mnnlel‘ynl suffrage which women have enjoyed for eighteen years is declared by Mr, Gladstone to have been exercised “without detriment and with great advantage.” A dress fora girl of more mature years was of coral-pink and green check washing silk. Panel, cuffs and collar of green velvet: front of cream canvas; oxidized buttons. The law of Wyoming allows women to vote. It goes still further. It especially pro- vides that there shall be no discrimination ‘on nficonm of sex in the pay for any kind of work. ‘The Watteau colors. as pale pink and blue In combination are called, are enjoying a re- viva! of French favor, and are repeated ad Iibitum In all the new summer fabrics sent over from Paris. Another was of cream nun’s velling with a flounce of cream lace, chemisette of cream lace, cuffs and collar of poppy-red velvet, poppy-red cord and pompons, This Is for a miss four or six years, Ribbon remains the preferred hat and bon- net trimming, and iv s Interesting to study the bows, loops, torsades, and flots into which it is twisted for hat and bonnet dec- orations and dress ornamentation, A very pretty dress for a youngster of four or six years was a blue and pink striped zephyr, with flounce of lace at the bottom. ‘The back and front were trimmed with lace and the undersleeves were of lace. ‘The Citovenne, the French woman’s rights journal urges that the places of inspectors of meat markets should be given to women. It save that as women buy the meat aud cook 1t they should know more about it then men, English women consider a full knit or box- pleated skirt of silk or bengaline to wear with any polonaise or redingote almost a necessary article nowadays, as polonaises l-m:.lonl redingotes are much worn in Eng- and. Some of the imported short wraps have tabs In front so lon# and narrow that, with the long tassels or tlots of ribbon with which they are finished. they are exceedingly sug- estive of two bed pulls dangling over a f-dy’u skirt. The new wash faprics for midsummer ‘wear are shown in bars, stripes and squares of smoky red, blue, yellow, dark green, dark hcllotmre and black, on grounds of cream, pale yellow, buff, pale blue, pale rose and plush, or pale lilac pink. Sateens are not s0 much in demand this season as they wera last K:"' their place being taken by zephyrs, batistes, and per- les, but the few shown in the best houses n tine pompadour designs in bright but artistie colors on tinted grounds. Miss Dudley—**There is no object so beau- tiful to me as a conscientious young man. him as 1 do a star in heaven.” Snoberly—* my view, exactly; {i ty 1 think there is nothing so beautiful as a young man, even if he isn't conscientious.” Colored veils are of d.uuul{ figured tulle, of Russian square nes, of d crepe li: and are worn in all shades, lilac troj red from pale rose to fiery and deep crimson, all shades of g ficelle, brown, tan, black, blue, and gree, but the most becoming onés are rose pink. ‘The preferred fancy work of little filll at samint T 8 olenof S oo umes in n bracing the cap, Lat, or bomnet, the frock, Jacket or blouse, and_trousers If for doll, the shoes, stockings, and gloves or mitfens are all' knitted in bright colored wool by eunning, busy little fingers. The New Orleans Picayune, which recently celebrated its fifiieth birthday, is ownea and controlled by Mrs, Eliza J, Nlenolson. Her first husband, Colonel Hoibrook:, left her th paper burdenied with a devt of 80,000, “She s paid off the debt, built new offices, and now has a superb establishiment as a monu- ment to her energy and good management. ‘The woman’s club in Chicago is all agog over the appointments to be made on the board of education. ‘The members of the club are resolved that at least one woma i shall be ap- pointed and have named, among others, Miss Ada Sweet, of I'ension office fame, as a can- didate. The mayor thinks that at present experienced business men are needed to fill the positions, but generally the idea of & wo- wan on the board meets with favor. Dressmaking Is considered so_ truly a fine art in Encland that royaity, as welias no- bility, are having their dau’<hiters educated in its mysteries. The daughters of the princess of Wales are taught diessmaking, neir mother herselt being an adept in the art. ‘The princess of Leinenzen, who is the president of *“Ihie Institute of Needlework' of London. has been qualitied for her posi- tion as manager under the hichest tailor cutters of Europe, from whom she holds er- titicates, Very pretty yisiting toflets for young girls are made of checked surah. The skirt is plaited, The bodice is a long waisted jacket, remaining wide open in front. A pretty uodel of this style is in a large cleck pat- tern of three or four shades of colors—helio- trope, china-blue, old pink, and myrtle. green—each square of the ehick is diyided from the other by afine streak of old-gold color. The opening of the ftronts showsa vest of dark colored heliotrope, open in the shape of a v, and finished at the waist of by a velvet sash, not above two inches deet end of which s lost in a sheath of silk p menterle. ~ A chemisotte of cream-colo surali is visible in the opening of the vest. It is gathered around the neck on to a swall turned-up colar of heliotrope velvet. Ladies’ walking suits are fashionably made of some plald material combined with some self-colored tissue to mateh. ‘The un- derskirt is generallyof the plaid material, and simply plaited or gathered on to a round waist-band. ' The tunic Is loosely draped ip front and looped up on the left hips all this front part is of the self-colored material and edzed with a border of the piaid cut on the cross: the back of the tunic also, of course, of the plain_tissue, has no trimming and falls in a square plaited plece over the plaid skirt. "The jacket-bodice, of the same miter- il as the tunic, opens with plaid revers over a plaited chemisette of plain surah, finished with a band of the plaid to form' a eollar. Thiis collar, as well asthe reversand tie border around the lower edge of the jacket, ure cut on the same Cross. Woolen costumes are trimmed with wide and with narrow galloons. ‘I'hera are many Kkinds of pailoons, a favorite beinga_combi- nation of lizht woolen tissue and gold, siver, bronze or steel metal, There are also mohuir and velvet galloons, which are either worked with silk, worsted or beads. trimming s arranged on the low the skirts in wheel shaped designs forms rows one_above the other. gallo o val or ves galloons also form lengthwiso par the sides of skirts, when the o golonaise opens how this trimming. Many polonaise are worn over skirts made in this manner, Sometimes th rtis plain, and the polonaise has designs, checks, etc. Waists in blouse style are plaited or zath- ered. ‘They produce the eflect of being loose but they are made over tight-litting linings. Cloaks for trayelinz uso are_indisponsible at this season, ‘They are always long, and they cover the costume fully. The shape most used has a rolled sleeve” starting from the back seam and a skirt gathered in the back, or with redingote plaits, cording or passementerie, falls aver the skirt, 'These s areof water-proof silk, Seotch plaid uimmer vigogne mmer ‘liniousine,” airand light cloth.” Some models Watteau plaits in_the ‘back, ironed down, 2hitly fulled fronts are sewed to of the garment.

'There wasa lang silence, whieh the little lady devoted to much deep thought; then with a troubled sigh, “Mamma, do you suppose God thougnt he was pretty?" “What Is promised to the righteous?’ asked amild and amiable Sunday school teacher of & small child at the end of her class. *Eter- nal bliss,” quickly responded the child. “Quite right, my dear child,” "said the mild and amiable. *““And now tell me what is promised to the wicked.” “Eternal blister,’* was the prompt reply. A Roxbury citizen, says the Boston Tran- script, has a daughter about three years old, Having accompanied her mother to witness a baptism, the next day she said she was going to have a baptism herself, and arrang- ing her dolls along the edge of the bath tub, she prepared one of them for inmersion. Her mother, hearing the child's voice, ad- vaneed within listening distance and heard the following address to the candidate: now bantize you in the name of the Father and the Son, and into the hole you go.” The little eranddaughter of Mrs. Mary A, Livermore, savs the Youth’s Companion, dis- likes to be made to mind. One Sunday,after some outbreak, her father got down the bible and showed her the text: ‘‘Children, obey your parents.” She looked discontented, but went on reading the chapter,while her father went up stairs.

Chambers' Journal: Paris and Man- chester have both resolved on a shin canal; it now appears Brussels is deter- mined not to be behindhand, and there- fore a pronosal has been made to the municipality to construct a ship canal to the Scheldt, having a depth of six and a half meters, with quays sufficiently capacious to allow twenty ships ot 2,500 tons each to unload or load, and the whole is to be connected with the great Belgian line of railway. The scheme is & bold one, but the company who will undertake it—if it is carried out—is an Jnx{ h one, and the contractors and workers will, doubtless, be English, too. While on this subject we may mention that such another scheme is about to be attempted 1n South Russia by the eutting of a canal across the lsthmus of Perekop, to connect the Sea of Azoy with the waters of the Black Sea. By this plan a saving of 100 miles of very rough sailing will be effected, and more uncchlly the Ahngroul pass: of Kertch, which in winter is constontly closed by ice. 1t is suyposed that the making of this canal will greatly improve the coal and salt trades of Donetz and Odessa, which alone in a commercial point of view, is a mat- ter of the bighest importance. o ' BILL NYE AND JAY COULD. The Humorist Pays His Respects to the Rioh Philanthropist. OLD ACQUAINTANCE RENEWED, Kind Solfcitude That was Not Appre- clated—Changes Wrought by a De- cade Rich Man's Possibili- ties In Paradise: New York World: It had been ten long weary years since 1 last met Jay Gould until I ealied upon him yesterday torenew the acquuintance and discuss the happy past. Ten years of patient toil and earnest end r on my part, ten years of philanthiropy on his, have been filed away in the grim and greedy here- tofore. Both of us have changed in that time, though Jay has changed more than I have. Perhaps that s beeause ho has been thrown more in contact'with change than I have. Still, I had changed a good* deal in those years, for when [ called at Irving- ton yesterday Mr. Gould did not remem- ber me. Neither did the watehful bu overestimated dog i the front yard. Mr. Gould lives in comfort, in a cheery home, surrounded by help and a barbed wire fence. By wearing ready-made clothes, in stead of having his clothing mado es- pecially tor himsclf, he has been able to amass & good many millions of dollars with which he is enabled to buy things Carefully concealing the fact that I had any business relations with the press, 1 gave my card to the who does cheres for Mr. Gould, and, apologizing for not having dropped in before, I took a seat in the spare room to wait for the ut railroad magnate, Mr. Goul1 entered the room with a low, stealthy tread and looked me over in a cursory way and yet with the air of a connoisseur. “I believe that T have never pleasure of meeting you befo said the great railroad swallower eur philanthropist with a tinge of d irony. “Yes, sir; we met some ten years ago,"” said I, lightly running my fingers over the keys of the piano in order to show him that [ was ustomed to the sight of a piano. “I was then working in the rolling-mill at Laramie City, Wyo., and you came to visit the mill, which was then operated by the Union Pacitic rail- road company.

Have you ever consid- ered this matter seriously and settled upon a good man o would be willing to water your stock for you, and so con- duet your affairs that nobody would get any benefit from your vast accumula- tions, and in every way carry out the policy which you have inaugurated? *If you have not thoroughly considered this matter I wish you would do so at an early date. 1 have in my mind’s eye just such & man as you need.

There were three reasons why I did not remain, but the principal reason was that I did not think he wanted me to do so. Andso I came away and left him. There was little else thatl could say after that. 1t 18 not the first time that a western map has been treated with consideration in h1s own section only to be frowned upon and frozen when he meets the same man in New York. Mr. Gould is below the medium height and is likely to remain so through life. His countenance wears a crafty expres- sion, and yet he allowed himself to be April-fooled by a gemal little party of gentleraen from Boston, who salted the central branch of the Union Pacific rail- road by holding back all the freight for two weeks in order to have it on the road while Jay was examining the property. Jay Gould would attract very little ai- tention here on the streets, but” he would certainly be looked upon with suspicion in Paradise. A man who would fail to remember that he had $7,000,000 that be- longed to the Erie road, but who does not forget to remember whenever he Fam his own hotel bills at Washington, s the kind of a man who would pull up and pawn thel pavements of Paradise within thirty days after he got there. After looking over the above statement carefully, 1 feel called upon, in justice to myself, to state that Dr. Burchard did tsssis me in constructing the last sen- ence.

In this age of millionaires, a millionaire more or less does not count very much, and only the 5ood millionaires who baptize and beau- tity their wealth 11 the eternal sunlight of unselfishness will have any claim on immortality.
