AN EVERYDAY HEROINE.
The Country Maiden, the Wicked State
Company and the Tailor Made Girl.
Four reckless persons had clambered
into the stage, an old man, a middle
aged woman, a young man and a tailor
made girl At Fiftieth street a dress
maker’s little girl struggled in with a
huge box. Town life was evidently new
to her Her rosy cheeks announced
country air to the least observing She
held her money in her hand.
Looking dubiously about, she finally
spied the money box and dropped in the
coin. After thta she Waited expectantly.
Nothing occurred, however, and she
began flushing and paling with nervous
indecision At last she resolutely stood
up, attracted the driver’s attention and
called to him:
“How do 1 get my change? I put a
quarter in the box, ” she. asked.
“Yese oughter a-handed it up,” said
the man. “Yese can’t git it now - .”
“But it’s all 1 have, ’’ protested the
girl.
off th « nGW Passengers, ’’yell-.
ed the dnver and turned away.
It was all the money she had, but
how could she “get it off the new pas
•eagers?” Every one in the stags had
become interested, but no one volun
teered any advjce. Two tears rolled
down the rosy cheeks.
The stage stopped, and an old lady
scrambled in. As she took out her mon
ey. a 6 cent piece, the tailor made girl
leaned over to her
“Will you. give me that for this little
girl?” she asked. “She dropped in a
quarter by mistake, and the driver said
the new passengers might make it up to
her. ’■ <' < ;£■ .y r :
The old lady beamingly handed over
the nickel Sh® felt that the stage com
pany was being rigidly but justly dealt
with at last
Thenapiangot in. This was harder
for the tailor made girl, but the made
the request again and handed a second
fare to the grateful young person from
The whole stageful was
now interested watching for a new pas
senger as a spider watches for a fly. A
woman waved desperately from down a
side street for the stage to wait for her,
but the driver passed on unheeding and
exclamations of disgust arose. Another
comer, and another smartly dressed girl
got in. The new arrival did not seem at
first to understand the request, and,
flushing, the tailor made girl repeated
it and secured one more of the precious
6 cent pieces.
The little girl had reached her desti
nation.
“1 am so much obliged, *' she murmur
ed to the heroic maiden who had been
taking up fares in her behalf. “I ought
-to get out here, so I guess I’ll let the
<)thergo. ”
“No, no, you must not, ’ ’ said the fair
conductor, opening her purse. “Take
this and 1 can get it from the next one
who gets in.”
“You are awfully good,” murmured
the unsuspicious little one with new
tears in her eyes, and one of the men
took the big box and handed it down to
her when she had stepped out
The stage rattled on and the tailor
made girl looked unconcernedly out of
the window. The next passenger was
allowed to drop his fare unmolested
into the box, unconscious of the little
comedy that had brought the others to
gether in a common interest for a mo
ment and the stage company was still
ahead of the game.—New York Sun.
AN EVENING WITH DICKENS.
How the Great Author and Hl* People
Can Bo Studied by Literary Club*.
“For an evening with Dickens, ” ad
vises Fannie Mack Lothrop, writing of
“Evenings For Literary Clubs’* in The
Ladies' Home Journal, “one ot the
items of the programme might be a
sketch ot his life condensed into about
200 words. The Dickens drawings by
Charles Dana Gibson might be cut from
The Journal and hung up before the au
dience and the story of each character
and incident illustrated told. The trial
from ’Pickwick’ could be arranged for
individual reading or for a number to
take part in it. A bright paper may be
written on ’The People of Dickens*
World. * In Dickens’ works there are
1,650 separate characters, enough to peo
ple a Whole village.
“Some of Dickens* poems have been
set to music—notably ’The Ivy Green’
—and would make a pleasant feature.
Anecdotes of Dickens might be given by
ten or a dozen members, each giving
one. These might be interspersed
through the programme. A member
with any cleverness in photography
might make a series of Dickens’ lantern
slides from pictures in standard editions
of the novelist’s works and give a magic
lantern entertainment The death of
Paul Dombey would make a pathetic
reading from ‘Dombey and Son.’ Airs.
Jar ley’s waxworks, as described in ’The
Old Curiosity Shop,' could be given
-with some of the members grouped as
characters in the famous show and des
ignated, as Little Nell did, with a
pointer. ”
The “Gallery God*.”
The frequenters of the lofty gallery
of any theater have a good deal to do
with the making or marring of any new
play. Yet that is not how they acquire
their title of “gods ” As a matter <Jf
fact, the origin of the expression is this:
Years ago Drury Lane theater had its
ceiling painted to resemble a blue sky
with clouds, among which white Cupids
were flying in every direction. This
ceiling extended over the gallery, whose
occupants thus appeared to be very near
heaven- Hence the expression arose of
“gallery gods. ” —London Answers.

Cayenne, “that Mr and Mrs Jinkies

THE EMPEROR WORSTED.
A Plueky Little Hun £ arlen Qirl Get B*-
Tenge For
The present kaiser would probably
i not admit that be hud often been
thwarted in auy of his plana but an
anecdote has recently become known
which shows that he at least once “got
the worst of it, ** and it is all the more
piquant from the fact that he was de
feated by a girl.
When the kaiser, who was then
Prince Wilhelm, was about 10 years
old, he and Prince Heinrich spent some
time at Cassel with their tutors, who
sometimes allowed the little princes to
play with other children. One day when
several of them were gathered together
it chanced that a little French girl Was
among the number, and the young Ger
mans conceived the brilliant idea of
making her a representative of the conn- ‘
try they all so cordially hated. The de
lightful plan was immediately put into
execution, and the poor child was tied
to a tree. Then began a fusillade of
pine cones, sticks, etc., and whenever
anything struck her there was a cry of
“Here’s for Sedan!” This went on for
a few minutes, when a little Hungarian
girl, Helena von D , who was watch-
ing, could bear the injustice no longer,
and, singling out Prince Wilhelm as
chief offender, she threw herself tai
him. The attack being unexpected, he
was oom jfietely taken by surprise and
fell down, whereupon she began to
pound him, crying out at each blow,
“Here’s for Sadowa I”
The prince was fast getting the worst
of it, for his little adversary was thor
oughly in earnest, when the imperial
tutors, hearing the noise, rushed up and
separated the combatants. After that
the princes were more carefully watch
ed, and Wilhelm had no opportunity to
“get even” with the little champion of
justice. Some days afterward, hearing
that the princes were leaving, Helena
went down to the gate to see them go
by. As they passed Wilhelm spied his
foe, and leaning out behind his tutor he
stuck out his tongue. »
Helena was the daughter of titled
parents, and later she was married to
an Englishman. When the kaiser was
in London, she told this story to one of
his gentlemen in waiting, who in turn
repeated it to his majesty. The latter
exclaimed : z “ls that devil of a girl here
now? I would like to see her.” A meet
ing was arranged, but Helena became
ill, and so they never met after that one
encounter to make friends or renew hos
tilities.—New York Tribune.
A SAVAGE
The Teacher** Artistic Cleverne** Re
ceived • Hard and Cruel Blow.
In one of the Cleveland public school
rooms of the primary grade the teacher
has been reading Longfellow’s “Hia
watha” to her pupils. Os course this is
a rather ambitious work fc the liitle
ones, says The Plain Dealer, but they
enjoy it, and the rhythm seems particu
larly pleasing to them. When they ccmo
to a hard word, the teacher goes to the
blackboard and draws a picture to illus
trate its meaning. This the pupils find
highly entertaining, and it helps in
quite a remarkable way to fix the text
in their minds.
A few days ago they came to this line
in the early part of the poem:
At the door on summer evening* eat tho little
Hiawatha.
“At—th’ door on sum-mer eve-nings
sat th’ lit-tle”—read the children.
“Go on,” said the tehcher.
But they couldn’t go on. THu name
of Hiawatha was too much for them.
They knew who Hiawatha was, but
they didn’t recognize his name. So the
teacher went to the board and took con
siderable pains in drawing:
First.—A wigwam with poles stick
ing up above it, and a rude aboriginal
drawing above it, and a rude aboriginal
painting on the side.
Second. —Little Hiawatha, with feath
ers in his hair, squatted at the wigwam
door.
Third.—A fine harvest moon.
Thea she pointed at Hiawatha and
asked what it was.
There was a general craning of necks
and shaking of heads.
“Come, come,” said the teacher,
“yon know what that is.”
Then one little girl spoke up:
“I guess it’s a mud turtle.”
And instantly, with one accord, the
class glibly repeated: __
“At th’ door on sum-mer eve-nings
sat th’ lit-tle mud-dy turtle. ”
And tho teacher feels that her artistic
cleverness received a hard and cruel
blow.
Stylish Krening Bodice.
The simplest and perhaps the most
fashionable bodice for evening wear,
says a New York fashion authority, is
the full blouse shape of chiffon, droop
ing over a fitted silk lining, the top cut
out in square or rounding fashion, with
a full tulle ruche, a narrow band of
fur, a fall of lace or beaded revers to
finish the edge. The sleeves consist of
short, full puffs similarly trimmed.
This is a basis for any kind of flower
trimming that taste suggests. Rows of
shaded pink roses devoid of foliage are
i in great use on evening* gowns this win
ter, as are maidenhair fem and lilac
i sprays, laid upon strands of pink or or
ange satin ribbon not more than an inch
and a half wide. »

Wild viowera'a* iha CaF«-
The wild flowers of the Cape are among
the richest in the world, and the gunner,
as he quite his night’s resting place and
wanders among the hills, may see around
him a marvelous array. Oxalis, lUiee, bril
liant orchids, strelltsias, inosembryanthe-
BUtM, the wond«rfnl blue agapanthus,
the wild aurnm—co oommon as to bo called
by the Boers the “pig lily”—splendid
heaths In a bewildering plenty, lovely pro
teas, many flowering shrubs, gladioluses,
Ixias, wataonias, noble amaryllids—these
and a hundred other flowers contribute for
a season to the hunter’s supreme enjoy
ment. He must be worse than a Kaffir,
Indeed, if he cannot take delight in them.
Masses of pelargoniums flourish among
the kloofs and valleys. Here a mountain
side is to be seen fairly blushing with pink
heath—one of the three hundred and odd
heaths of which the Cape can boast. And
so, if he is lucky and the rains have been
propitious, the gunner may follow the
’kllpspringer through kloofs anduphlll
sidee, thus gladdened for a brief space with
brilliant flowers. The innumerable wild
doves 000 softly from the thorny acacia
groves.
As you pass the clear rill of water gush
ing from yonder deep kloof a little created
kingfisher, with mezarine blue back, ooral
red bill ans blue and black crest, darts like
some living gem up stream. Climbing tho
lower foothills, you may note, busy among
the sweet protea flowers, gorgeous sun
blrds (honey birds the' colonists call them
—the neotarinin op the naturalist) —clad
in brilliant greens, bronzes, violets,
oranges, yellow sand reds, extracting with
their long brush tipped tongues the honey
ed dainties of which they are so inordi
nately fond.—London Spectator.
The Ceasos of Egypt. .
The statistics of the census taken last
June of what is called Egypt proper—that
Is, Egypt up to Wady Haifa—hate been
classified elaborately by Boinet Bey of the
finance ministry. Tho main results are as
follows: In 1840, under Mohammed Ali,
the population was only estimated at
4,500,000, the census of 1882, which was a
most imperfect one, showed over 6,750,000,
and last year’s, which may be considered
as fairly accurate as is practicable, indi
cates a total population of nearly 9,750,000.
Os this total 50.8 per cent are males and
49.8 per cent females. After deductions
for women, children under 7 yean and
Bedouin, it is calculated that 18 per cent .
of the males ban read and write, the re
mainder being entirely Illiterate. The na
tive Egyptians number 9,008,000, to which
must be added 40,000 originally from oth
er parts of the Ottoman empire and 574,-
000 Bedouins. Os these last only 89,000 are
really nomads, the remainder being styled
semi sedentary. Os foreign residents there
are 118,500, of whom the Greeks are the
most numerous, with 68,000; then come
the Italians, 84,500; British (including
6,500 Maltese and 5,000 of the army of
occupation), 19,500; French (Including
4,000 Algerians and Tunisians), 14,000;
Austrians, 7,000; Russians, 1,400; Ger
mane, 1,800, and the remainder are divid
ed among ten different nationalities. The
classification according to religion shows
nearly 9,000,000 Moslems, 780,000 Chris
tians and 85,000 Israelites. The Christiane
include the Coptic race, numbering about
608,000, of whom only a very small pro
portion profess the Boman Catholic and
Protestant faiths.—London Times.
Colonial Courtship.
In an article in the Boston Herald con
cerning Portsmouth, Aldrich’s ‘Old Town
by the Sea, ” and the scene of Longfellow’s
poem of “Lady Wentworth,” Mrs. Edith
Perry Estes writes ot the romances due
taring around old St. John’s church. One
of the prettiest is that of tho courtship of
Miss Catherine Moffatt by Nicholas Bous
selet. Only the last scene follows. It took
place in one of the stately old pews in St.
John’s, where Bousselet, in official consu
lar costume, sat by Miss Moffatt’s side.
Somewhat late in the service, when, It
is safe to say, he had lost the thread of the
parson’s discourse, he handed her the Bi
ble, in which he had marked In a lover’s
trembling hand the first verse of the sec
ond epistle of John, “Unto the. elect
lady,” and the fifth verse entire, “Now I
beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a
new commandment unto thee, but that
which we had from the beginning, that
we love one another.”
This Miss Moffatt answered with the
sweetest, most womanly answer in Holy
Writ, and one peculiarly appropriate to the
..wandering consular life of the foreigner:
“Whither thou goest I will go, and
where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy peo
ple shall be my people and tby God my
God; where thou diest I will die, and
there will Ibe buried; the Lord do so to
me, and more also if aught but death part
thee and me. ”

Gastronomic Chips.
Life is the queerest of conundrums. We
spend one-half of it In guessing what it is
and the other half In regretting that we
didn’t guess it sooner.
An empty stomach at bedtime may
wreck your slumbers as surely as an over
loaded one. It is a case of Scylla and
Charybdis—steer wisely between them.
A man may have the wisdom of Solomon
in other matters and yet be fool enough to
forget that bls stomach is bis best friend.
•They say that “poverty is the mother of
health.” Perhaps she is, but she some
times squeezes our diet so tightly that she
becomes “the mother of wrinkles.*’
Let our stock of wisdom be ever so
scanty, there is no better place to spread
what wp have of it than over the table.
“Oh, ,? you say, “Ipay my cook to spread
his own there!” Doubtless yoq do, but if
your cook’s wisdom be of the average
cook’s quality you pay and look for some
thing which you do not get. A wire cook
is one of the blessings that heaven is chary
in sending us. Those we get, and get In
abundance, come from the other place.—

The Smallest Republic.
Gaust is the smallest republic in the
world. It has an area of one mile and a
population of 140. It has existed since
1648 and Is recognized by both Spain and

mountain in the Pyrenees and has a pres
ident who is elected by the council of 12.
The president is tax collector, assessor and
judge. The republic has no church or
clergy. The people worship in a church
beyond their country, and when one dies
he is slid down the mountaiff to a ceme

Science Was Wrong.
Bezuchet is far from believing in the
infallibility of science as to prognosticat
