In fact, [ would bo—very good — Because—Tam a mar The Mannish Woman. Nature makes no mistakes and really Jleaves no screws loose, says the New York Star. She made you a woman be- cause she knew you'd find your highest good and happiness in being a woman and wielding rigidly the tromendous powers inherent in your sex, She’s got a man somewhere in the universe for you,and you alone, and when you find him and find out the use you can be to him and he to you. you’ll “stop wishing you were a man. You'll tremble then at the bare idea that possibly your per- sistent wish might have tnrned you into a man, as it has done now in part. Now, you are a man, buton the outside only. Inside you're nothing. Your femininity and womanhood are all asleep. You're wearing a false coat, a sham, a pretense of masculinity which only disgusts Funple and drives them from you, as all unnatural things do dis- gust and drive away people. Ho wever, youll “shuck” that coat and come out all right some time or other when you meet your man. You can’t be expected to _do much better than now you're doing when there’s only one-half of you present to do with. He's the other half. You're only halfa pair of tongs now. No wonder you scatter firebrands as you try to pick them up. The Agents Were Amusing for Once. One Allegheny matron smiles when- ever any one mentions agent in her presence and recounts with glee how she got even with two of the itinerants, recently, says the Pittsburg Penny Press. She had sent her maid out and was taking a siesta on the_couch in her sewing room when a ring at the bell aroused her. She answered it and a female stalked in, and seating herself, announced that she was the sole agent for the greatest furniture polish in the world, guaranteed to remove any stain or scratch from any piece of wood, to renew the finish and make defaced Rlcces as good as new. Tle lady of the ouse pointed toa terribly rubbed piano and the peddler of the patent goods was at once down on her knees rubbing away for dear life. Her face got red, she rubbed up, down, across and round in a circle, but the polish did not return. Kxhausted shereseated herself and began to get real cool, when an- other ring at that bell interrupted the flow of conversation. This time it wasa book agent, who sold. only on_subscrip- tion, the very latest cook book. ith majice aforethought the matron de- clined to purchase, but set the book agent on the furniture poiish vender. Not allowing an_interruption, the for- mer began a recitation on the virtues of the book. Whenever the latter tried to interject a word into the conve tion, she went at it with renewed en- ergy and talked the eurl out of the pol- ish woman’s hair. Seeing no chance to get in a word, the attacked female took from her handbag a houtle of polish and held it up. The effect was electrical. That book agent’s face showed her dis- comfiture, and without another word she ind made for the door. She was followed by the other, and the ludy of that house vowed that she has not enjoyed herselt so much for a month, and that she forgives thom for spoiling her afterdoon lunch nap. One Healthy American. A thin, delicate-look woman sat in a horse-car one evening recently, and next her sat a native of the queen’s realm. The window behind the Briton was open and the cool wind blew on the womun, making hershiver. Atlastshe suid, in a ladylike way, “Won’t you he kind enough to close the window hehind you, as it makes me cold?” It would hardly have caused the man any incon- i t nt this request, but he “I prefer it opon an't stand anything: m to ha consumption.” v passengers on the car were as- tounded at his inactivity, and there were many angry slances cast at the royal subject. Finally a gentleman rose on the opposite side of the ear and. t\m-ru:\c]liug the Englishman with about, 220 pounds avoirdupois, leaned over him and grasping the window slammed it down with vigor; then he remarke “Now, my friend, if you think all Am aflicted with consumption you e that winlow again. I am an n.” The little woman blushed, the other passengers smiled, the Amer- ican returned to his seat, and the Briton looked out of the window and thought. A Young Lady’s Lu A young lady governess was sitting in a horse carin an English proviucial towns, says the Boston Budget, when a stylishly dressed man entevod, who dis- played prominently a valuable diamond ring on one of his fingers, He soon after gotout,and the young lady, on getting to her stage on "her way liome, stepped out as well, and found, on put- ting her hand in her pocket, that her purse was gone, She, however, found # strange article in her pocket, which, to her astonishment, turned out to he the identical ring which her fellow traveler hud been so ostentatiously dis- playing. Examination proved that the ring was no flush article, a jeweler ap- praising it as of the value of at least 150. Fortunately for the lady, there were only two shillings in the purse which she lost. The ring had evidently slipped off the pickpocket’s finger when he wus in the act of abstracting the purse. Mistaken Identity. A lady of my aecquainta riter in the Boston Transcript, think- ing to give her husband a pleasaut sur- prise, walked up behind him in the street, one day, and putting her hand in his arm, looked smilingly up into his fuce for the welcome she wus sure of seeing there. She was frozen by the cold stare that et her gaze. She was just about to_say, “What makes you 00k 80 cross¥” when, to her great dis- comfort, she saw it was not he. She stammered eonfusedly, trying to ex- plain her mistake, and got out of the road us rapidiy as possibly, feoling that any means of obliteration from among the human race at that time would be m!msb Ske generally has the credit of being a truthful person, but there is one subject that those whe know her always doubt about. When sho speaks of having seen some one, they cannot feel sure whether it is the one she thought it was or some stranger with a resemblance. The matter of seeing resemblances amounts to a talent with some persons, and one fthey would | gladly dispense with, How much easier it is to recognize a lady friend from her costume than @ gentleman! The monotonous dress of the latter, in nine cases out of ten the same shaped hat, the same suit of clothes, the same tone of color—and when overcoat time is here (and that is most of the time in this region), dear, dear! Who is who? But a woman always wears something that identifies her among other women. In the language of the showman, ‘It is eal to distinguish el from the other lions by the green cloth umbrella under his arm.” " Franklin's Advice to Mothers. Ina parcel of Benjamin Franklin‘s letters that have recently been made public is one addressed to a lady, con- ¥nm.1nuugm»r upon the well-baing of her baby boy. whom she had announced teeth. He writes: everything he as having cut five “Pray let him have likes. Ithink itof great consequence while the featuresof the countenance are forming: it gives them a pleasant air, and one that becomes fixed and nat- ural by habit, the face is ever hand- somer afterward for it, and on that much of a person’s good fortune and success in life may depend.” Franklin did not mean by this that the child should he given all the food it wanted, but that it should be sur- rounded by pleasant objects for its amusement and diversion. “Who has not seen a scowl of discontent upon the face of an infant deepen and become o permanent defect—a lifelong proof of the discomforts of its babyhood? Verily the sins of parents are visited upon their helpless children. After afew more telling arguments in favor of the child, the writer says: ‘‘Always be- lieve a child--—-at least, do not express your unbelief if you can help it. If the ittle fellow sees that you |'cly upon his word, he feels an increased respeet for the truth and for himself, until at length his character for probity will be- come matured and established.” Many an exceptionally imaginative child is unable to distinguish between facts and fancies as fairy tales and Mother Goose melodies quite bewilder his brain with their semblance of realt, Such chil- dren are apt to conjure up curious stories in which truth” and fiction are hopelessly counfused, and will relate them in all seviousness. Not Afraid of a Rat. s the Boston Transcript: At one of the Washington street Theaters the other evening a lady, who with her husband was seated in the parquet, be- came aware that some living thing seemed to be moving about on the floor underneath her scat and colliding with her feet in certain more or less fantas- tic movements. She investigated the matter sufficiently to convince her that the intruder was a rat. hen she— what? Screamed? Not a bit of it. With great presence of mind she simply told her husband that there was a rat under her feet. He changed seats with her as promptly as posible without attract- ing nttention and then poked the rat out from under the seat with his cane. It took refuge under the seat in front and passed out of hissight. What became of it he does not know; he saw and heard nothing more of it; but he will vouch for the fact that it was, to all appear- ances, an able-bodied rat. TIf that Iady had, upon the discovery of the animal, followed her instinet and screamed and jumped, she would probably have started the house into a pan Incident No. 2—A Boston girl, retir- ing at night, found a rat in her room. She closed the door and started in wild pursuit of the ereature about the room. She was just about to deal it a crushing blow with the French heel of her shoe when the vat took refuge in the spring of her bed, quite out of her reuch. “Well,” said she, I gu ter his stay where he has found he is safe.” And then she went tranquilly to bed and slept all night, and in the morning she got a terrier ata neighbor’s, and the dog ferreted out the rat and killed it. Perhaps that is the only case on record where a woman has slept peace- fully with a rat in her bed. There have been, on th , able-bodied mus- culine persons who have leaped madly out of bed upon hearing what they sup- posed to be amouse burrowing in the mattress. A Happy Woman. Somebody asked me the other day, says Bab in the New York Star, who were the happiest women, and ['ve been thinking it out ever since. The con- clusion I have come to is that she is the happiest woman who is not too hand- s0me [ don’t mean that she shall be disngreeable looking, and she must have a certain charm of manner; but by her lack of beauty she can keep the lovliest of woman fricnds and no jealousy arvises, while she is always a pleasant companion. The woman who is not o great beauty does not need to anticipate growine old with that hovrror that comes to her who knows that it means the loss of her greatest attraction. [ have always made a thanksgiving every night that Providence arvanged that [ should pe born south of Mason and Dixon’s line, but I now add to my thanks the fact that nature did not make me beautiful. One can only feel this wa after one has hecome—how old? The woman without beauty is going to and be something else, for in the hes of every woman figure without Roman lines and a caltiope voice there is a de- ire to be considered the nicest in the world by somebody. And if the woman is worth a penny, she prefers that some- body to be a mau. Obtrusive Politeness. A young lady was carefully over'the alarming space that yawns | tween the station platform and car by ¢ young gentleman with a cork leg, siys the New York Sun. She effected the passage in safety and tripped into the car while her escort thumped his way on lumberingly behind, The were fond of each other, and th quite close togother in the crowde and looked into each other’s eyes and chatted and’acted in an idiotic maunner. A prim man of middle age tendered the young lady a seat. *Oh, no; I couldn’t think of robbing you of it," she said, in a frightened sort of way, “But T insist,” said the prim man. The young lady shyly sat down and glanced up appealngly to her escort, The fact that the relative positions of the young couple were embarrassing flashed upon the passengers. To con- tinue the conversation with any degree of privacy it was necessary for the young gentleman to lean over at almost right angles, for the youug lady was very short. He couldn’t do this be- cause of his infirmity, and he had sense ough not to make the situation wore culous by trying. Painting Baby's Fans. A letter from Paris informs us, says the Pall Mall Gazette, that the doctors are at war with the silly mothers be- longing to the fashionable eircles, The latest fanaticism of la wmode is to urply the horrors of face-painting to little children, In the public gardens babies of three yeurs alx way now. be seen, whose eyebrows Rave' been blacked or dyed by their sone#les$ mothers. Other anxious parents, distrossed at the vul- garly ruddy and’ rudtic hue of the children’s checks, carefully —powder them before sending them forth tomeet the gaze and criticism of the world, Little coquettes of ten years are not sermitted 1o go abroad until tho regu- ation black stroke has been.painted beneath their eyes, The doctors warn the mothers that” when the children thus barbarously treated reach the age of sixteen they " will have a colorless and ruined complexion, to say nothing of the injury to health, which isan ar- ;;umrul less likely to produce much ef- ect.

The Indiana women's prison and reforma- tory, near Indianapolis, is managed ex- clusively by women. Women are the state librarians of Tndiana, Towa, Kentucky, Michigan, Louisiana, Miss- issippi and Tennessee. If your wife wants an “allowance,” give her the whole income. She will save more out of it than you can. Turkish stuffs agleam with gold or sil thread make draperies, scarfs or overdresses that are simply ravishing. A new silver girdle shows the square markings of crocodile skin, and is made flexible by rings of chain. The accordion pleated skirt that opens or shuts with each step of the wearer is much liked for the new mohair stuffs. Simple woollen mantles are trimmed down the front and around the ne with a knife- pleating of silk of the same color. Vassar college has conferred the dogree of LL. D.on Mrs. Christine L.

Bright Fragrant Flowers—Rich and Fertilo Soil—-Weird Pencilings of Nature's Hand—Indian Traditions. A Floor of Lava. GRANTS, MEexrco, May 20.— [Special Corvespondence of the Bek.]— Leaving the railroad to the north and crossing a rushing stream then in the ¢ flush of its existence, by reason of the rapidly melting snows in the dis- tant mountains, Irode up ashort incline on top of which T found myself con- fronted by a long, black, rugged and seemingly impassable stretch of *‘mal pais.” As accords with many and firmly believed Indian traditions, this great flow of lava seems truly and sin- gularly enough to be resultive of a curse administered by a displeased and revengeful god, who presided over the destinies of this country in former ages. It matters not, however, from what cause that terrible outburst of molten matter was made to flow over the coun- try, it still remains as an indisputable fact that it has and perhaps ever will continue to prove a curse. This flow of lava originally issued from craters sit- uated in - what are now known as the Zuni mountains, and whose peaks are plainly visible from the San Jose valley, and naturally sought the confines of the lowar valleys, where it spread its deva tating forces over thousands of acres, blotting out every vestige of vegetation, submerging land that necessarily other- wise must have been fertile and ‘produc- tive, and effectually warping a great breadth of country into u bleak, craggy and desolate waste. Aftor fighting every inch of milesacross the Mal Pais, and leaving it and its uninviting ca; and crevices to the merey of wild beasts and rattle- snakes I drew around a sharp sandstone point and eame in sight of the Mexican pusblo of San Rafael, nestling close to the ¢ and overlooking a broad, well- watered valley. Although not so ancient as many other Mexican settlements, San Rafa has been the scene of many incidents peculiar to the frontier. and dircetly adjoining the present town site are the half-tumbled down walls of old Fort Wingate. This fort is now entively deserted so far as human ity is concerned, but report has it that in past and busier times many were the gay scenes cnacted behind its stern fortitications. The ruins, which cover ahout ten acres, bear witness of commodions buildings that during the years between 1860 and 1868 sheltered firstly New Mexico vol- s and subsequently two companies tia and two of regulars, whom old sett] m made those bristling gilt-buttoned days a scene of cither war- fare or gaiet; The houses composing the town m to have sprung up at random like so many wild Howers in total disregard of streets or thorough- fares, and all are built of adobes, and for most part unrelieved by a single orna- ment.
