BEING A WOMAN.
USED TO STOP A LEAK.
l.at She lias to Do and What the Sterner
Sex Don’t Do.
There isn’t a man in the world but
thinks a woman has an easy time, and
there isn’t one, if he had to go through
the fuss and bother of being one, who
wouldn’t l)e in an insane asylum in
less than a year. In the bast place,
you must look well. A man can
be as ugly as home made sin and still
be populait Whiskers cover up the
most of his face, and even though he
has a mouth big enough to take
whole mince pie at a
bite, nobody suspects it.
as wrinkles, nobody thinks be
is getting old. but talk about the lines
of care on his forehead- Lines of care!
in
sin
If
humph! In nine cases out of ten those
lines of care were caused by him scold
ing his wife when dinner was two
minutes late, or when one of those
masculine buttons popped oil', and,
oh, my, what a hullabaloo he
sets up then. But nobody says
anything about lines of care on
her forehead 1 Oh, no! Andaman’s
nose might put a blood rod beet to
shame; but nobody suspects lie drinks.
Ob, no! A woman must always be
just so, must look charming and sweet,
no matter how sour she feels; she must
sing, and play on the piano and say
something nice to everybody. Her
dress must hang and lit just so, have
the latest pucker, even it is was made
in old Noah’s time. She must wear a
No. 3 shoe on a No. 5 foot, and look
well dressed on 75 cents a week. She
can’t go out alone at night, as woman
must be protected; she can't be a Free
mason, as she’d tell all about the goat
and the greased pig; she can’t whistle,
climb fences, stone cats, or say what
she feels when she gets mad. She
can’t go a-courting, but must manage
some way to get married before she is
25, or everybody will feel terribly hurt
over it and sigh and wonder why she
“don’t take,” and all the old maids
and widows in the neighborhood will
smile and nudge each other. Oh,
those significant glances arc fifty times
worse than open slander. It’s an
awful thing to be an old maid and
everybody knows it. Even the
women who are married to drunken
husbands, and fight and quarrel
the seven days out of the week,
live in an agony of spirit over her and
talk about the poor old maid. And if
she has had a sweetheart once, and he
goes with any one else now, people
smile when they see her and quietly
remark: “She got left,” when, in all
nrobability, he was the one who got
left. But she must marry well, and
marry well means marry rich, and to
get marriedj in some people’s minds, is
the whole aim of a woman’s existence.
And when a woman does get married
the whole town put their heads to
gether and talk over the matter;
if she is good enough for him; no
mention is made whether he is good
enough for her or not. Oh! no. Then
they will relate anecdotes, how stingy
her grandfather was; how lazy her
Aunt Polly was, and how her grand
mother used to sell beans and butter
milk, and sweeten her coffee with mo
lasses. She must be a good cook, and
do up her husband’s shirts so that when
ho goes down town, past a Chinese
laundry, John will gnash his teeth,
grow green and yellow with hate and
envy, and twirl his pig tail in the
air with the same unholy passion. She
must be able to lay her hand on every
thing in a second’s time that her lord
and master may* want, for a man
never knows where to find anything.
He will put the bootjack away, ten
derly hide it in the darkest corner of
the closet., then he’ll turn the house
upside down, from the top to the bot
tom, and suddenly appear to liis wife,
with a countenance like that of the
avenging angel, and demand: “What
in thunder have you done with the
bootjack?” Slie must shut all the
doors, likewise all the bureau drawers,
for a man never was known to shut
either. A woman always has to go to
bed first in cold weather. Ho never
asks her to do this. Oh, no; wants to
“finish this piece in the paper, dear,”
and waits until she has the sheets to a
comfortable temperature. She must
always take care of the baby, even
though the first infantile wonder has
multiplied into a round half or
three-fourths of a dozen, as the
may be. If lie doubles up
How Peter Johnson Paid His Passage
Over the Atlantic.
Old I’eter Johnson, a familiar “land
mark” of South street, and who, in the
memory of the oldest dock baud in
j this city, has never been known to stir
! away from his seat on an old box at
I the corner of South street and Coenties
j slip, tells a most remarkable tale of
i the troubles through which he had to
: pass to become an American citizen
and to run away from his birthplace
in Sweden.
It seems that Peter, whose name is
not Peter at all, but something in
which all the letters of the alphabet
are combined, was born in a little
hamlet in Sweden. Ever since he
first read a translation of “Robinson
Crusoe,” at the afje of 10, Peter had a
violent passion for the sea. One day
iie beard of America. He asked how
far oli’ this great land might be, and
his father replied that it was on the
other side of the great Irish sea and
across the Atlantic. The next day
Peter made up a little bundle of neces
saries and started oil’ to find this glori
ous Eldorado. He reached Leis, a
; small fishing port on the coast of Swe
den.
Walking along the wharves ho saw
! a bark of about 800 tons that was ad
vertised to start for New York on that
1 very day. He had never beard of
New York, but as he clambered over
the port rail of the little ship he blindly
I hoped that it was somewhere near his
i goal. On board he found all deserted.
By accident Peter stumbled into the
hold of the ship. He secreted himself
among a number of barrels, and, as be
was very tired, he fell asleep. About
ten hours afterward he was awakened
by a peculiar clunking noise. The
ship was rolling horribly. Her wooden
sides were being strained to the utmost
extent, and Peter’s heart stood still.
“Well, the end of it was',” said the
old man last evening to the waiter,
“that I went on deck. I was a mighty
sick eolloose, I can tell you. But 1
wasn’t too sick to see that something
hor'ble had happened, The rap’n
stood near the wheel looking hope
lessly toward shore and didn’t even
notice me. The sea was runnin’ high.
A heavy gale had caught us to lee
ward and we had sprung a leak. Our
ship was pretty fast and we were out
of sight oi land. The leak was a big
one and our ship was fillin’ fast. All
the men were at work at the pumps,
but the water was gainin’ on ’em and
they were losin’ heart and hope.
When the cap’n saw me he did didn’t
fire off and cat tail me. No; he jest
caught me by the shoulder here and
he jest looked up to heaven thus way,
and he jest said, ‘Thank God I’ sorter
happy like.
“Then he hurried me down into the
hold and then he said somethin’ to
one of the men as was at the pumps.
The man went away, but he soon come
back an’ told the Cap that all wgs
right.
“Then the Cap’n he took me down
into the bow of the old bulk. That’s
wlier’ she’d sprung a leak. Ther’ was
a hole ’bout the size of your body on
the starboard side. The Cap’n, he and
the man then cotchcd me up, an’,
mates, would you believe it? they just
stuck me in that hole up to my arm-
pits, they did, blast me if they didn’t.
It was mighty oncomfortable to me,
but it stopped the water from flowin’
in. After a while the water was all
pumped out, au' then the carpenter
fixed the hole. For my part of the
work the Cap’n gave me a free pass
age, and here I am.”
And then old Peter Johnson closed
his teeth on an old clay pipe, nor
would he open them again to say one
word in explanation of his strange ad
venture.—New York Evening Sun.
A TERRIBLE ELEPHANT HUNT.

the necessary evils of cutting teeth,

bare legs and pins sticking in him, lie
wants to know why she don’t keep
her baby quiet, and speaks as if she
alone was to blame for the racket.
When she feels bad nobodv tucks a
shawl over her on the coucli, or cod
dles her as a man has to be coddled
under such circumstances. Nobody
closes the door any softer when her
head is splitting with a headache.
Now if there is a man living who
thinks a woman has an easy time just
let him have his hair pulled to the top
of his head and a pound more pinned
on that, get into a pair of corsets, tie
half a dozen Republics around his
waist, get into a dress that he can’t
more than breathe in, and can’t put
his hands to his head without popping
open a sleeve, and be a woman awhile
and see how he likes it himself.—
Douglass Lee in St. Louis Republic.
The L.ist Cargo of Slaves.
Probably the most interesting char
acter hereabouts, says The Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle, is a negro man who
was one of the cargo of the Wanderer,
the last slave ship to bring to this
country a load of captives from Africa.
Lucius Williams, as he was christened
by one of the young ladies of the fam
ily into which he was sold, or “Um-
valla,” as lie was called in Africa, liver

Not Exactly a Compliment.
Husband—Professor Widehead paid
you a very fine compliment after dinner
last night, my dear.
Wife—Oli, did he; what did he say?
Husband—He said that you weren’t
handsome, but you were one of the most
intelligent women he ever met.
Wife—Professor Wliat’s-his-name has
received his last invitation from me.—
Time.
Hamburg, across the river from here.
Since freedom he has earned . a liveli
hood working gardens, sawing wood
and whitewashing. lie was a little
surprised when asked about his early
life, but talks well once he has
begun, requiring to be questioned fre
quently, however. Umwalla was born
in Guinea, according to his story, not
Liberia. One day when he was about
10 years of age he was sent to his aunt
to carry her some pinders to plant.
When he was going through the
woods two strange black men seized
him and bound his hands. He cried
terribly and they soon gagged him.
They sold him to a native, who took
him to Liberia. There, for the first
time in his life, he saw a white man.
and he was terribly frightened at
him.
Umwalla was then taken to the
Wanderer, where a large number of
captives had already beeu stored away
in the hold.
When the Wanderer approached the
South Carolina coast she was sighted
by a government boat and given
, chase. During the night she dropped
anchor off Pocotaligo and the cargo of
negro men and women was debarked.
Umwalla, or. as lie was soon after
ward called, Lucius, was taken to a
Carolina plantation near Bench island
and put to work there.
Sparrows Waoted.
The agricultural department at Wash
ington has sent an order for 100 spar
rows to Mr. Hill, a professional bird
catcher at Indianapolis, for the use of
the “economic ornithological bureau,"
for “scientific purposes.’’ Within a little
over a year Mr. Hill has caught about
44.000 sparrows.—Chicago News.
A Brave Boy Meets His Fate While Bant
ing in Africa.
Sitting about the camp fire on the
banks of the Chobe river, in Africa,
Professor J. W. Edwards heard the
story of an elephant hunt that affected
him more than any experience he ever
passed through, says a writer in The
American Field. Burns, a. trader in
Natal, was the author of the^iarrative,
and told it as follows:
“I was trading in the interior, and
on one of my visits to Natal was im
portuned by George Wilson, a lad of
19, the son of an old schoolmate, to ac
company me oil one of my tours. I
obtained his mother’s consent, and we
started. The boy was a bright, cour
ageous lad, and was ambitious to dis
tinguish liimse'if with liis rifle. Early
one morning in Water valley we saw
a herd of fifteen elephants grazing
about a mile from us,^ We started
them up, and picking out a fine bull
with good tusks, I started to cut him
off, and telling George to ride behind
while I charged them. Soon I had the
old fellow out of the pack, and gave
him a shot behind the ear that stag
gered him a little. Then we crossed
fired him for half an hour, but could
not get any good shots. AJ1 at once
the horse George was riding stumbled,
throwing him and falling on his leg.
I was so horrified that I could not
move; but finally, seeing George’s at
tempts to extricate himself, I tried to
draw the elephant’s attention to me.
The brute was thoroughly enraged,
however, and charged for the lad just
as be was getting on liis feet. Then
followed one of the greatest fights be
tween brute and man I ever saw. Off
went George, the elephant after him,
while I followed, firing bullet after
bullet into his bide.
“All at once 1 saw that Wilson was
lame. I leveled at once and fired, and
the boy turned around and did like
wise. This checked the brute for a
moment, but seeing George running
again he made a furious charge and
caught up with him. Up went his
trunk, and a moment after the poor
lad was dead on the ground, crushed
by the blow. Not satisfied, the brute
began goring the lad in a frightful
manner. I rode up to the beast and
sent in two shots that brought him to
his knees. He tried to rise, but could
not, and, after two or three shots,
rolled over and died. The poor lad
was lorn in pieces. I placed his body
across my horse, chopped off the beast’s
tusks and rode back to camp. We
buried him near the springs and piled
rocks over his grave to keep the wol ves
from getting at it. I took the boy’s
watch and chain, with his wearing ap
parel, to his mother, and I can tell
you, lads, I never wish to witness such
a scene again. The poor woman died
a year afterward, but would never
touch the profits of the trip, saying
that she would take nothing that was
the means of killing her boy.”
Mental Contagion.
Error, like truth, flourishes in
crowds. At the hearth of sympathy
How French Coffee is Made.
The French have the reputation of
making the best coffee. • Their method
is very different from the American
method. They take a great deal of
care in making this favorite beverage,
and the result is that when French
coffee is taken one drinks the pure
flavor of the berry. They always
grind the berries just before they are
to be used, and do not let a quantity
of ground coffee stand and get stale.
The French cook then pours boiling
water on the ground coffee; then she
filters this, and, after boiling the
water again, pours it on the coffee
once more. Tiffs is repeated a third
time. She never boils the coffee and
water together, nor puts the coffee in
cold water and then let it boil. < The
French do not know how to make
good tea, but they give this recipe as
the proper way to make tea: Pour boil
ing water on the leaves and then turn
it out of the pot. Then pour one-third
of the water required, and place the
pot over a steaming apparatus in order
to let it draw without boiling. After
a while add another third, and then
the last third. In tiffs way the full
flavor and strength of the tea is ob
tained.—New York Mail and Express.
Chinese Beggars. ‘
A waiter in a Shanghai journal, re
ferring to the beggars of China, says
that large donations are given to them
by the people, but these are in the na
ture of an insurance. In the cities the
beggars are organized into very pow
erful guilds, more powerful by far
than any organization with which
they can have to contend, for the beg
gars have nothing to lose and uotlffn^
to fear, in which respects they stand
alone. The shop keeper who should
refuse a donation to 'a stalwart beggar,
after the latter had waited fora rea
sonable time and has besought with
what the lawyers call “due diligence,”
would be liable to invasion from a
horde of famished wretches, who
would render the existence even of a
stolid Chinese a burden, and who
would utterly prevent the transaction
of any business until their continually
rising demands should be met. Both
the shop keepers and the beggars un
derstand this perfectly well, and it is
for this reason that the gifts flow in a
steady, if tiny, rill.—London Times.
each finds a borne. The fanatical lean,
the saner follow. When a peisou of
nervous temperament, not strongly in
dependent in thought and action, en
ters a spiritualistic circle, where he is
constantly surrounded by confident
believers, all eager to have him share
their sacred visions and profound rev
elations, where the atmosphere is re
plete with miracles and every chair
and table may at any instant be trans
formed into a proof of the supernat
ural, is it strange that he soon becomes
one of them?—hesitatingly at first, and
perhaps yet restorable to his former
modes of thought by ilie fresh air of
another and more steadfast mental in-
tercourse, but more and more certainly
and ardently convinced the longer lie
breathes the seance atmosphere. No
form of contagion is so insidious in
its onset, so difficult to check in its
advance, so certain to leave germs that
may at any moment reveal their per
nicious power, as a mental contagion
—the contagion of fear, of panic, of
fanaticism, of lawlessness, of supersti
tion. The story of the witchcraft per
secutions. were there no similar records
to deface the pages of history, would
suffice as a standing illustration of the
overwhelming power of psychic con
tagion. To fully illustrate its import
ance in the production of deception
would require an essay in itself. It
enters at every stage of the process and
in every type of illusion. It has least
effect when deception is carried on by
external arrangements, by skillful
counterfeits of logical inferences; its
power is greatest where the subjective
factor in deception is greatest, more
particularly in such forms of deception
as have been last described. —Professor
Joseph Jastrow in Popular Science
Monthly.
The Seventh Son.
In France a seventh son in direct
succession is called a mareoy. In Or
leans, during the present century, the
following was written concerning the
marcou: “If a man is the seventh son
of his father, without any female in
tervening. he is a marcou; he lias on
some part of his body the mark of a
fleur de lis, and, like the kings of
France, he has the power of curing
the king’s evil. All that is necessary
to effect a cure is that the marcou
should breathe upon the part affected,
or that the sufferer should touch the
mark of the fleur de lis. Of all the
marcous of the Orleannais, he of
Ormes is the best known and the most
celebrated. Every year, from twenty,
thirty, forty leagues around, crowds
of patients come to visit Him; but it is
particularly in holy week that his
power is most efficacious; and on the
uight of Good Friday, from midnight
to sunrise, the cure is certain.
A darker superstition concerning
the seventh son exists in Portugal. It
is there believed that the unfortunate
being who is the seventh male in direct
succession, is in the power of the
Prince of Darkness, by whom he is
compelled, on every Saturday even
ing. to assume the appearance of an
ass. In this guise, and accompanied
by a troup of dogs, he is compelled to
race ov^)r moor and through village
until the light of the Sabbath dawns,
when he may resume his human form
for another week.—F. S. Bassett in St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
Reporters as Waiters.
It appears that the ingenious re
porter who, during the visit of Em
peror William and King Humbert to
Naples, disguised himself as a waiter,
and succeeded in establishing himself
behind the kaiser’s chair during the
banquet that followed the naval re
view, is not to be credited with the
conception of au original idea in
journalism. An English scribe, dur
ing the Fran co-Prussian war, when
tlie French general Bataille occupied
Saarbrucken for a brief period, and
had his meals sent from a hotel in the
town to liis tent on the hill, assisted in
taking him his food, dressed as a
knight of the napkin, and, in conse
quence, was enabled to send to bis
paper an account of what he had seen
and heard. Again, when the lieuten
ancy of the city of London went to
Windsor to present its congratulations
on the recovery of the Prince of
Wales, a newspaper man, in an imita
tion Windsor uniform, joined the dep
utation, and, although stopped at the
door of the throne room, eventually
sat down with the luncheon party in
the Waterloo chamber.—Frank Les
lie's
Three Very Excellent Reasons.
A parson and liis parish at Ad; lui.k .
Australia, recently parted with 111111 iff
willingness, and in his farewell dis-
| course the minister freed liis mind as
follows: “I uo not regret our separa
tion, dear brethren, for three good and
valid reasons. The first is that you
don’t love me, the second that you
don’t love one another, and the third
that God does not love you. You don’t
love mo—my salary is several months
in arrears; you don’t love one another,
or there would not bo sucli a dearth of
marriages among you; and God
doesn iTseeai to love you as you ought
to be loved, because there nave been
no funerals among you lately • ’
‘‘One of Us Mnst Die.”
A tragic occurrence took place at a
small farm called Hendre Mochtre,
near Newtown, Montgomeryshire, on
Tuesday evening. The tenant of the
.. a man named Abraham Morris,
.... it his son Edward, 25 years of age,
had been drinking together at a public
house a short distance from their
house. Cn their way home about 11
o’clock a quarrel arose between them,
and on arriving at Hendre the son
challenged the father to fight. The
latter refused, whereupon the son said:
“One of us must die,” and immediately
took a loaded gun winch stood near at
hand, and. resting the stock on the
ground, with the barrel pointing to his
head, he pulled the trigger. A farm
servant rushed forward, but it was too
late to prevent the gun going off.
Death was instantaneous. To add to
the painful character of the affair the
mother and two sisters, as well as tire
father of tlio deceased, were present.—

“Waif Till I Kill a Man.”
I was sitting in Janies O'Neill’s
dressing room at the Bijou theatre on
Saturday afternoon during the third
act of “Monte Cristo.” It was tlie inn
scene, where the innkeeper's wife tries
to murder Noirtier. Mr. O'Neill has a
ten minute wait in this scene, and, in
the garb of the priest, with a cigar in his
mouth, he was chatting away about
Fechter and other celebrities that have
passed from the earthly stage forever.
Suddenly he arose, laid down his cigar,
and stepped to the door to listen. ‘Ah,
I thought so,” he said. “Excuse me a
moment. I have to go and kill a man,”
and disappeared. A moment later
there was a confusion of loud voices
on tlie stage, concluding with a ring
in'* “One! " in the rich tones of Mr.
O’Neill. Then there was the peculiar
roar into which applause resolves it
self when it reaches the back of the
stage, followed by the rumble of the
falling curtain. “I’ve killed him,'
said the priest with a smile, as he pro
ceeded to change his dress for that of
the Count. I may remark en passant
that Mr. O'Neill is a most entertaining
companion, besides being a sterling
actor. Pittsburg Bulletin.

HARPER’S BAZAR.
ILLUSTRATED.
Harper’s Bazar will continue to main
tain its reputation as an unequalled family
journal. Its art illustrations are of the high
est order, its literature is of the choicest kind,
ana its Fashion and Household departments
of the most practical and economical charac
ter. Its pattern-sheet supplements and fash -
ion-plates alone will save its readers ten times
the cost of subscription, and its articles on
decorative art, social etiquette, housekeeping,
cookery, etc., make it indispensable to every
household. Its bright, short stories, and
timely essays, are among the best published:
and not a line is admitted to its columns that
could olfend tlie most iastidious taste. Among
the attractions of the new volume wili be se
rial stories by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett,
Mrs. Alexander, Wiiliam Black, and Thomas i
Hardy, an J a series of papers on nursery mail- :
agement by Mrs. Christine Terhune Herrick. 1
