Woman’* Lot In tho Penlmular Villages
of Maaiaohuaetta.
Df»utlf»l Creature. at Sixteen and Old and Hag-
turd at Thirty— A Life ofCoutinaal Suspense and
Anxiety—'The Only Future Expected.
“If there woe ever a blighted race of wc
•men,” said a gentleman of this city, recently
returned from a visit to Cape Cod, “it exists
in the peninsular villages of Massachusetts,
which depend on the fisheries for the support
of their inhabitants. Nowhere else in all New
England will one ever see so high an average
of female beauty, especially in symmetry of
form and freshness of complexion; but it will
not take one long to discover that this girlish
beauty and freshness, while unusual and un
expected, is also in its duration very brief.
The chango produced in these girls by the
lapse of a few years is painful to observe. No
matronly graces are to be seen among them
after their girlhood days are past. Thnt
charming middle stngo of matui ing woman
hood, lretwcen tho freshness and buoyancy of
the girl of 20 and tho woman of 85 or 40, is
absent. The heightened color ofthe cheeks is
gone. The eyes are sunken, and wear a con
stant look of sadness and anxiety. Gray hair
in heads over which a score and a half of
yearn have scarcely passed, and deep lines in
faces which should show no trace of age for
years to come, are rather the rule than the
exception. These women, besides suffering
from all the inevitable sorrows which fall to
woman’s lot, no matter in what station she
may bo placed, have an added intense and
-perpetual sorrow all their own. Theirs is a
life of continual suspense and anxiety, which
Is almost certain in time to be embittered by
an overwhelming grief.
LACK OP MATRONLY BEAUTY.
“The most obtuse observer needs not ask
the cause of this lack of complete matronly
beauty among those women, whose budding
•days open with the greatest promise of a su
perb physical womanhood. The cause sug
gests itself at once to one who sees the congre
gations of women on the beaches and in tho
•quiet streets of the sleepy villages. Ho will
notice occasionally a feeble old man among
them, generally supported on the arm of some
female companion, who, most likely, carries
on her other arm a chubby faced child of
lusty lungs. But In these groups, or any
where around the village, the observer will
look in vain for tho presence of males be
tween the tottering years of these relics of the
•past and the prattling days of babyhood. It
is the Ashing season, and there are no men or
boys on shore. Their smacks ore tossing on
the treacherous waters of the Ashing banks,
mid their return, if they return at all, is aa
uncertain as the weather, which forms the
one great subjeotof conjecture and apprehen
sion among the villagers. Husbands, eons,
fathers, brothers and sweethearts are some
where out on bosom of the sea, probably
homeward bound, perhaps steering for still
more distant waters, perhaps struggling for
life’among the waves.
“Fair weather keeps hope warm in many
an anxious woman’s heart; the howling north
easter Alls it with doubt and despair. Con
stantly watching by day, waking in the night
to listen to soundB from tho sea, whether they
may be the roaring of the dreaded tempest or
merely the moan of the surf on the beach, is
it any wonder that the torture of mind and
heart and tho strain of nervo and vital force
that must follow this perpetual suspense and
longing destroy the fountains of youth and
beauty in these patient, suffering women,
and place upon them the marks of age while
they are yet young I
“Yet the girls grow up with but one thought
of what their future lot will be, with but one
object in view on which their visions of hap
piness are based. Go among any group of
these bright girls, in any of the villages of tho
class I am speaking of, and you will find that
nine out of ten of them look forward to a
union with some ono who will spend his life
Ashing in the summer and coasting in the
winter. The idea that there might be any
other future than the one which is to come tc
them as fishermen’s wives, or that the life oi
a fisherman's wife is anything different from
she natural sequence of married life, novel
seems to occur.”—New York Mail and Ex
press.
Catching a Pickpocket.
One time I was in the Erie sheds waiting
for a train, when I heard a terrible noiso
•coming from one of the emigrant cars, which
appeared to be full of women. I stood near
tho detective, and hoard him call up bis lieu
tenant with, “Pat, there is a pickpocket in
that car, and you can hot he has got away
with the purse, of some one of those emi
grants. You go in the further end of the car,
and when you get in lock the door. I’ll go in
this way, and thon we'll investigate. ” The in
structions were obeyed. Once in the car,
Mr. M. at once learned that an old German
woman had lost her last stiver, which she
had in a well filled purse. In a fellow dis
guised as an emigrant, Mr. M. at once recog
nized the thief. Placing his hand on the fel
low’s shoulder, he said; “Give tho woman her
money." Protestations of innocence fol
lowed, when, poking around under tho seat,
Mr. M. found the missing purse just where
the thief had thrown it. Picking it up and
handing it to the owner, Mr. M. told her who
had stolen it and told her that she and her
female companions had his permission to go
for the offender and do with him anything
they wanted to, so they didn’t kill him, and
they did go for him. They pulled his hair,
scratched him and gormed him all over with
saliva until he looked ns if he hud been
specially prepared for an anaconda’s swal
lowing. Tims punished he was released from
the car, when bo darted for tho New York
side. There were no arrests, no tedious ar
raignment before a police court.—Cincinnati
Times-Star “Rambler.”
WEARY.
Weary, so weary; oh, weary of tears;
Weary of heart aches and weary of fears| ;.j
Weary of moaning and weary of pain;
.Weary, so weary of hoplug in vain. ,
Weary, so weary of the burdens of Itfeg ••
Weary of tolling and weary of strife; ' V > y
Weary of parting and weary of night; .
Weary, so weary, and longing for light Jj
Weary, so weary of waiting alone;
Weary of asking—receiving a stone;
Weary of watching, weary of Jeers;
Weary, so weary of taunts and of sneers.
Weary’, so weary; but sometime I'll rest,
Dreomiessly steeping, hands crossed on my breast!
No more to sorrow, no more to weep;
Only to lie down and quietly sleep.

THAT INQUISITIVE BOY AGAIN._
Wanted to Know All About tlio Hell, tlie
Register, tho Ring, the Fare and So On.
A young lndv and a small, bright eyed boy
entered a street car on Lake nvenuo tho other
afternoon. The lady deposited hor faro and
tho boy’s and the bell rang,
"Aunt Ella,” said the boy, “what makes the
bell ring)”
“Tho driver rings tho bell," was the reply.
“What does he do thnt fori”
“Why, he does it to rogistcr the fare."
“What does he do that for)”
“Becauso he has to.”
“Oh.”
Then there was a silenco for half a minute.
Presently the boy said:
“What is that round thing up there!"
“That is tho register.”
“What is thnt fori”
“To register the fare."
“You said the ring registered tho fare."
“No, I didn’t say that."
“Yes, you did, Aunt Ella”
“Now, Johnny, don’t you contradict me;
you aro a naughty boy.”
“Well, that’s what you said."
A silence of two minutes followed. It was
broken by the boy, who said: “Say, Aunt
Ella, what made you tell me that the ring
registered tho fare)"
“Oh, f don’t know."
“You did say so, didn’t you, Aunt Ella?”
“Yes, Johnny."
“Then what inado you say that you didn’t
say itl”
“I didn’t say thnt I didn’t say so. Don’t
bother me, Johnny."
After another briof silence the boy returned
to the attaok. “Say, Aunt Ella, did you go
to Sunday school when you was little F"
“Yes, child, of course I did."
“Did you take any prises?"
“Yes, lots of them."
“Did you tell wrong stories as much then as
you do now I"
"Johnny, you are a bad boy, I shall tell
your mother.”
“I wish you would tell her two times; that’s
what I wish.”
“Why Johnny)’’
“Cause you wouldn’t tell tho same story
two times; that would let me out ’’—Rochester
Herald.
Too Great a Strain.
He sort of squeezed himself into police
headquarters yesterday, hat in hand, and he
shambled up to Sergk Martin’s desk, bowed
very low, and inquired:
“Am de boss osslfer in?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Wall, boss, I want’s to know ’tout dls
time bizness. I’ze bin hevin’ a heap o’ trubble
fur a week past.
“What time are you running on)”
“Dot's what 1 want to find out Ono feller
he tells mo to go on solar time, on’ another
tells mo standard time, an’ my ole woman
she’s got a third time, an’ Tze all mixed up.
I tole de ole woman dat I was cornin’ down to
git perleece time an’ stick to it.”
“Well, set your watch at 1:28.”
“Yes, sah. Dot’s do fust satisfackshun I’ve
had in two hull weeks.”
Ho pulled out an ancient, “turnip,” felt
around for a key, and had just got ready to
set the bonds whon the crystal fell out and
smashed, there was a long continued whir
ring among the works, and as lie held the
timepiece to bis ear and shook it the internal
mechanism fell on the floor and rolled under
a bench.
“I speckted suthin’ of the sort,” said the
man as ids chin began to quiver. “Dat comes
of tryin’ to run on three sorts o’ time. No
watch kin stand any sich foolin’ as dot, an’ I
might a knowed it.”
“What will you do now)”
“Nullin’. Dat settles time on dis chicken
fur de nex’ six months, an’ Ize gwine to git
up in do mawnln’ whon Izo hungry, an’ go
home at night orter do ole woman has gob de
wood in.”—Detroit Free Press.

The Wife Was Delighted.
“And do you love mo as well as ever,
John!” the wife asked of her somewhat testy
husband, ufter they had mule up subsequent
to what is usually termed a “little spat.”
“Why, of course I do, and better.”
“Aro you sure, darling?”
“Sure? Of course I am. Hang it, don’t I
tell yoO so!”
“Yes; but you are not deceiving me!”
“Certainly not. What do you want to
aggravate u man for)”
“I’m not aggravating you.”
“Yes, you are, and I tell you plainly thnt 1
love you madly, and if you ask me that
question again I’m blessed if I don’t go out
and stay out altogether. I love you dearly,
and now shut up or it will be worse for you,
Asking me if I love you, when I do to dis
traction! Get out, you idiot. You are noth
ing but a darned fool, anyway.”
Wife subsides, highly delighted.

chew of tobacco, this (according to one who
has been there) is the way he asks for it:

Portraits of the Speakers.
In tho house corridor on the south side of
the chamber, known as “the speaker’s lobby,”
are hung a number of photographs and
crayons of the various gentlemen who have
been chosen to preside over the house. Most
of these are indifferent pictures, those repre
senting the earlier speakers being enlarged
photographs, copied from such pictures of the
subjects as were obtainable. Information has
beon received from the governor of Massa
chusetts to the effect that an appropriation
has been made by ttwt state to supply oil
paintings of such citizens or tho Bay state
as have been speakers of the house. This is
an example which will be doubtless followed
by the legislatures of other states, and in a
few years, It is hoi>ed, a valuable and credit
able collection of oil paintings of all the men
who have been chosen to preside over the
bouse will take tho place of tbo indifferent
pictures that now hang upon the walls of the
speaker’s lobby.—Cor. Philadelphia Lodger.

commander sent to oppose Moheinct Ali. Hut

How the Gushing Washington CorrtJ
spoMdentn Overpalnt Their Picture**! i
It is not always safe to accept the deserfp*
tions of tho society corresyjondenta ut Wash*
ington literally. The standards of judgment
there are not precisely the same as elsewhere*
and loveliness is considered os going as a maV
ter of course with certain positions. For in*
stance, a congressman may he ugly or gooct
looking, able or weak, honest or knavish;
but a congressman’s wife is ex-officio lovely;
and thougli various congressmen with all sort*
of wives, old and young, brown and blonde,
tall and short, sweet and shrewish, come and
go, tho ideal wife of tho congresman remains
the same, and in the eyes of tho correspond*
ent she is always lovely.
In this way, too, the senator’s wife is ex*
officio exquisitely lovely. Tho wives of th*
supreme court judges, the foreign repre«-en*
tntives and the cabinet ministers, are ex-officio
eutranmiigly lovely. As for the president 1 *
wife she is ex-offlcio “beyond all whooping,
to use a shnkotiperinn phrase. Language
inadequate to express her loveliness. It it
the failure of the average citizen to appre
ciate this treatment of beauty as an offic ial
attribute t hat leads to tho disappointment of
many visitors at Washington. They go ex*
porting to so.* visions of feminine loveliness
floating uhout the streets of tho national
capital. In their fancy, it is peopled with
beauty like Armida’s garden or tbo enchanted
island of Camoens, or tho parndiso of Ma
homet. They have heard of at least, fifty wo
men who walk with the grace of Diane oil
Poictiers, 100 who have inherited tho witch
ing smilo of Ninon de l’Enclos, 150 who have
found tho lost arms of the Venus of Milo, ;i0Q
with the persuasive charms of Phryne—and
so on through the long catalogue of profes
sional beauties of history, art and poetry
But tho imaginative tourist finds little in
tho reality to justify his anticipations. The
gay and festive ladies of the society cor
respondent generally appear to his unskilled
eye as sensible, middle aged, or elderly wo
men. The lithe, tho graceful, tho sinuous,
the svelte, tho luminous eyed, tho full
bosomed dames that aro motamoiphosed into
very ordinary people connected by marriage
with tbp men that, for the time being, aro
running the government.—Rochester Post

A Pathetic Incident*
A few weeks ago in this city a poor widow
died, leaving one child, a little lame boy, to
tho cold charities of tho world*
After his mother’s funeral tbo little fellow
was taken ill from the combined results of
grief and neglect, and it was then evident
that bo would soon be united to his only
friend.
He was left alone much of the day, there
being no ono who could spare tho time to stay
with him. It was often noticed that tha
voices of two persons could be heard in his
little room. But when those in charge entered
he would lie nlune and apparently asleep.
Ono day they listened, lieing quite sure thal
no ono was with tho cnild, and they overheard
this strange monologue:
“Is you rite there, mamma!”
“Yes, my little hoy, I is rite hero.”
“Was you went uwny yet!”
“I wented back to heaven to tell God about
iny little l*>y.”
“Did you was afraid, mamma!”
“No, my own little boy, ’cause God is nicer’n
pooplos.”
“Did you told Him about mo, mamma!”

“I havo hero tho best test for a gentleman
that thero is in New York,” said tho old, gray
haired servitor in tho blue naval cap who
wanders about tho corridors of tho ixjstofflco.
“A gentleman will never let the door slam in
tho face of a man or woman who is follow
ing, no matter how much engrossed in othei
things bo may be. A gentleman will alwayi
hold tho door open until the person behind
him gets bis hand upon it. Judged by that
test there aro not very many gentlemen in
Now York city. I kept a kind of score for an
hour the other morning of tho number of per
sons who showed any consideration for theif
fellow beings. There were 1,110 person!
went through tho dodrs in that time, und oi
these I saw eighty-seven stop and hold th*
door so it would not slam against those be
hind them. Fourteen, all smart young fel
lows, I Kin U clerks or something like that, I
judged, threw the doors w r ide open, so thal
they might slam back the harder. The rest
showed ik> knowledge whether that there
were any other persons in tho world than
themselves. All of these were men. I kepi
no count of tho women. Why not? Because
in all my life I never saw a woman hold a
door for anybody except for her own child,
They just 0|>en the doors wide enough to
squeeze through and slip out edgeways, so it
doesn’t make much difference anyway.”—
