The milk is to be strained and put away, crocks scalded, butter chnrned, and the dishes and chamber work still wait. Dinner and snpper and afternoon work take up her day. Then in their turns throughout the week there is washing, ironing, baking every other day, scrubbing, sweeping, sewing and mending. In harvest time she will have as many as fourteen to cook for and docs it all alone. It is seldom that a farmer feels that he can afford to hire help in the kitchen. She has the vegetable gar den to see to. To brighten the dreari ness of her life she has close to the sel dom opened front door a bed of half starved looking fiowers—old fashioned coxcomb, four-o’clocks, grass pinks and a few other cheerful looking plants that will thrive under neglect. She makes everything that her family wears except hats and shoes. She has of rest or seif. It is in most cases her lot to welcome a new baby every other year, and the only time when help is employed to as sist her is for a period of two or three Hariug with a \Vat**r*|*out. When the British steamer Amur, Cai>- tain Rouse, from Caibarion, dropped anchor off Gloucester her outward ap pearance foretold the thrilling experi ences she had had with the elements. Dec. 19, when on the southern edge of the gulf stream, the ship had a narrow escape from total destruction by a wa terspout, which fortnuately passed nn- i der her stem not many yards from the j ship. I The first seen of this monstrous dis- ! turbance was in the shape of a heavy | cloud on tlio horizon direct to windward, j but as it drew near it appeared as though j it wonld overtake the ship and send all on board to the Ixittom. It was a des perate struggle to get out of its wav, time to think I a iul with the ship already in a disabled condition the engineer stood by with the engines wide oj>en, realizing that it was a race for life. Nearer and nearer the dangerous water column, drew to the slap, but by the time the noise of its ap- weeks when the little stranger arrives, i proud, ,„et the ears of the crew the ship The births of the babies are about all had gotten north to a place of safety, that vary th n monotony ot her life.

When Cleveland retired from office he requested of his successor to retain Folsom in office, and President Harrison evidently considered this proposition in a favorable manner, for the reason that Folsom is abont the only Democrat who is holding a consular office of any im- portance abroad.

KNIGHT, Manager. casionally death calls and takes from her tired arms a little life ami leaves in its place an added pain in her heart. She is old and tired out at thirty. When her daughters reach the age at which they could assist her the dreary prospect of a frontier life apirails them, and they seek employment in town. Nothing in her house is of late improve ment. Her washboard is of the kind her mother used, and her churn in its heavy, clumsy build shows that it belongs to the same date. Improvement stalks all over the farm and leaves no trace in the kitchen. Her pleasures are few. The satisfaction that she is doing her l>e8t seems to be all that rewards her. .She is a heroine in a calico dress, wrinkled and stoop shouldered—a woman with a burden, who never complains. Late at night, when all the members of the family are in bed, a light will shine out across the prairie from the family living room. 11 is by this light the farmer’s wife is doing her mending and sewing, and it will shine out long after the occasional travel that way has stopped, and no one but the one that blows it out knows at what hour the patient burden bearer’s laltors cease.

It may not be known that when Pad erewski was in this country last season he was under contract not to ent his hair. As soon as the London season was over he was shorn, and his friends say he was so eager to get to the barber and so rejoiced to get his hair cut that the power to have his own way in this mat ter, in fact, decided him to lie his own manager. But when Paderewski actually laid hold of his own affairs it seemed, on the whole, bettor not to cut loose from his hair. At the last jierformance in London one woman feel prostrate on her face at his fedt. It required the absurd ity of this woman to bring the rest of tlio audience to its senses. While it is undeniable that Paderewski’s hair has been an interesting feature, it does not seem an important factor in his career. Nevertheless Paderewski returned with his halo.—New York Evening Sun. MMlriiuoutal ltumiera in Indiana. “Love will find a way,” says the song. It has lieen finding its way across the Ohio river between Kentucky and In diana at the rate of 500 couples a year for a long time hack. But the outlook now is that competition will prove not the life, but the death of trade in the matrimonial market of southern Indiana and northern Kentucky. In the small towns along tlio Indiana border the fre quency of elopements from the neigh boring state has furnished a new occu pation to certain Kentucky and Indiana gentlemen—namely, that of •‘matrimo nial runner.” These runners watch for runaway lov ers, accost them and take them to cer tain civil magistrates in whose pay they are, anil the officer of the law quickly unites the pair in marriage, exacting therefor a fee, part of which becomes the perquisite of the runner. In spite of the fact that stringent laws exist for the government of these magistrates, they have done a lucrative business, and in i Folk: the competition that has arisen between i day of each month.
