-% Singular Woman.
She does not. boast, mates no display,
Bat modestly she lilts her station,
Though she’s an object, people say,
Of wonder and of admiration;
As schooimiss, maiden fair, or wife—
So every one declares that’s met her—
She never added in her life
A postscript when she wrote a letter.
—Boston Courier.
A EJvoaaied&ry Bustle.
Fashion seekers lately returned from
Paris declare that the coming woman is
to resemble the sacred dromedary of the
zoo, with a bustle the like of which has
never been seen, at least in staid Ameri
ca, even among the bustle fanatics. All
that human skill can effect to make this
new crinoline keep its place has been
done, and whatever shape it may be
born with, that it retains to the last.
This feature will awake loud and uni
versal rejoicing, as nothing has so af
flicted society as the ill-bred, easily j
downcast, lop-sided wire-machine on
which dresses are often ineffectually
draped. Horsehair and whalebone does
it, with sheet-iron to clinch matters.—

An ilrchealra of Pretty Girls.
There are a great many amateur musi
cians in Hew York, and a large number
of these are recruited from the ranks of
what is known as “society.” But most
of these amateur musicians are pianists.
There are a number of men who play
the piano, but there are more young
women who torture this instrument,
though there have been discovered
enough who play other instruments to
form an orchestra, and Miss Hewitt, the
daughter of the Congressman, has
organized an orchestra composed entire
ly of ladies well known in New York
social circles. They play all the instru
ments from the violin to the triangle.
Under Miss Hewitt’s baton they are
going to saw and blow and pipe this
winter as hard a3 though they w r ere paid
for it. If they give a performance it
will be one of the affairs "of the season,
and I think before the winter is over
they will be heard in aid of some popu
lar charity. It will take them some time
to get in good working trim, but I fancy
that their faults of technique will be
forgiven by their admiring friends. In
organizing this orchestra Miss Hewitt
had a good deal of trouble in selecting
her material, for the difficulty with the
young lady instrumentalists was that
.most of them played tha banjo; and
while the banjo is a very jolly instru
ment it is hardly fit for orchestral music.
But finally she succeeded in getting to
gether the requisite variety of instru
ments, and now I believe the number is
all made up. This is a great move, and
will be much more elevating for the
young ladies who belong to it than are
amateur theatricals. ~Pkiladelphia Record.
Women s Hobbies.
Women sometimes have very queer
hobbies. One of the most influential
members of an up town church is a lady
distinguished for her piety and good
works, who cannot for the life of her
The basque is still the bodice most
favored by dressmakers, but it must be
made very short and simple, with or
without a waistcoat, at pleasure.
Full, plain skirts are generally worn
with the Norfolk jackets, a fancy scarf is
frequently worn as drapery, looped at
the back or far back on one side.
Some of the richest millinery stuffs are
used by dressmakers to form the narrow
waistcoats, the cuffs and high collars ot
dresses of various kinds of materials.
Soft sash belts, composed of several
folds of crape or surah, are worn across
the front of Molieres under cut-away
basques, and are fastened in the side
seams.
Silk gashes eleven inches wide and
three and a quarter yards long have sil
ver and gold bars with velvet brocade
figures, and are edged with changeable
plush.
Even the Mexican agave orixtili cactus
is taxed for modern women’s garments,
the flexible fibres of the leaves being
used in place of whalebone for stiffening
corsets.
Bed pelisses of astrakhan plush for
little girls and very small boys are jauntily
trimmed with collars, capes, cuffs,
pocket straps, and bands of black
astrakhan.
Very rough textures are popular, and
some stylish costumes have been com
posed of coarse-looking serge, called by
some of the leading dressmakers “scour
ing flannel.”
Felt hats with rounded crowns and
rather broad brims have a twisted scarf
of gauze or fancy canvas round them,
drawn up in front and mixed with
cock’s plumes.
The hair now must be worn in two
coils. Strings of pearl, gold thread,
fancy-headed pins, jewels and jewel
headed snakes are used much. Feathers
are allowable; wings being worn on
the side of the head.
Steel jewelry is again in favor, and the
j finish is such that the cut steel retains its
| brightness in all weathers. The new
| scarabee jewelry is quite popular. It
! comes in all sorts of quaint designs, such
| as winged lions, sphinx heads and the
j like. It is for morning wear, with tailor
' made suits.
I Capotes are now higher than ever in
the border, but there is a change in the
: style of trimming. This now frequently
i consists in tips of ostrich feathers put on
; the back of the crown and drooping over
j the top. The feathers are frequently

husband of the lady has remonstrated j
with her about the habit, and she has :
promised time after time never to do it
again. She h«s tried wearing thick,
soft gloves and keeping her ban is in her
muff, but it is of no avail, for when she
can't pat her hands she maker twice ns

While patting her hands she sits with a
smile on her face, as one rapt, i can re

with hobbies. One of them is baking
ginger cakes. The remarkable woman
is positively unhappy unless she is in the
kitchen. She bakes, on an average, a
thousand ginger cakes a week during the
winter months, and gives them away to
all of her friends. She regularly pre
sents a large panful of them to the mite
society of the church, to be distributed
around among the needy of the parish.
The/ are good cakes, too, I can assure
yoii. She has been known to cook ail
'night, and there hasn’t beta a festival
during the last ten years at which her
ginger cakes have riot been on the bill of
fare. W hen she goes to visit her friends,
her first question is, “Are those ginger
cakes all gone?” If they are, and they
usually are, she takes off her shawl and
walks down into the kitchen in a busi
ness-like manner and proceeds to cook a
panful of cakes, just as unconcernedly
as though she was in her own house.
Once in a while—pretty often I should
say— her husband goes home for his din

Color-Blindness.
Julius King, who is the examiner for
color blindness for the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern railroad, has discov
ered a remarkable case. The party was
an employe of the railroad company. He
is a man about forty years oid, and is a
fireman. Mr. King made three tests in
his case. First, color ed glass globes were
placed over a gas jet. and the man, at a
distance of twenty feet away, asked Vo
tell the colors. He named the red globe
correctly when it was first used, but on
the second trial deffiared it to be green..
Then railway signal flags of different
colors were waved before him. He called
the red flag green, and the green flag
red, and when two flags, both red, but
of different shades, were waved the fire
man insisted that they were green. Red
and green flags held up together he
declared to be green. The next test was
made with a small rack in which were
hung zephyr worsted of different colors.
The standard color of green was pointed
out to the man and he was asked to
select the worsted in the rack of the
same color. He immediately picked out
bright red, old gold, and light brown
bunches. The unfortunate fireman had
to be discharged. Mr. King said that
he had examined a very large number of
men for color-blindness, and about four
men iu every hundred are defective in
their eyesight in this respect. But very
few people are as color-blind as the fire
men, he said. He said that women were
seldom found color-blind, as they con-
j’stantly trained their eyes iu selecting
; colors in ribbons and dry goods and in
i discriminating between delicate shades
and tints. In answer to a question, Mr.
King explained: “The theory of the
cause of color-blindness is that parts of
the retina of the eye respond each to
different colors. When any of these
parts are deficient, absent, or unde-
A WONDERFUL PLANT.
A Fern Fed by Bsjst from Another
Wer.il—A Curious Yarn.
A recent Syracuse [\. Y.) letter to the
New York Commercial Advertiser says:
On a train between Rochester anti Syr
acuse I happened the other day to occupy
a seat with a middle-aged man, who car
ved a small flower pot containing a little
plant, for whose safety he seemed very
solicitous. During the first half of the
journey there was but scant conversation
between us, each beiug preoccupied with
his own thoughts; but as I am ifitere
ested in botany I began to look more
closely at my fellow-traveler’s plant, and
finally became quite absorbed in it. It
was a species of fern with which I was
wholly unacquainted.
“May I ask what kind of a fern that
is, and where it grows?” I inquired af
last.
“That is more than I can tell you,” he
replied, “but I venture to say there is
no other like it in the world.”
Naturally I became curious, and asked
questions. The following is a synopsis
of his replies:
“I was for years in the employ of the
Hudson Bay company, and spent- the
best part of my life among ice and
savages in the cold regions of British
America. I had often noticed that the
snow and ice in some localities were cor
ered with a grayish-black powder, but
paid no attention to it till I read an ac
count of an Arctic expedition, in which
the writer stated that such powder was
cosmic dust, sifted down through the
atmosphere from space, which is said to
be more or less filled with it.
“As soon as I read this statement it
struck me that it would be a good plan
to collect some of the dust and see
whether anything would grow in it. So
I began to carry a bottle, into which I
put the powder whenever I found any.
In a few years I succeeded in co.leering
quite a quantity, about as much as you
see here”— he held the flower-pot toward
me; it was about one-third full—and I
became very much interested in my cos
mic treasure, wondering whether, if any
of our plants should grow in it, they
would take the same shape as when
nourished by their native soil.
“At this time I was called to England
in connection with the business of the
company, and, planting a pea in the ce
lestial mold, I locked it up in a large
wooden box. There it remained undis
turbed until my return, a little more
than a year. I confess I opened the box
again with a good deal of curiosity, and
was both astonished and delighted to see
that the pea had developed into a fern,
as I supposed, for this plant was then
about an inch in height. I attended it
very carefully for two months, but it did
not seem to grow. One day I stirred up
the dust (it had hitherto been undis
turbed!, and to my extreme astonish
ment brought to light the pea I had
planted, as dry and unsprouted as
though it had been buried in dry sand.
I examined the pea carefully. It was
wholly unaffected, and the fern must
have had some other origin. There is no
doubt about that.”
“Have you any idea how it originated
there?” I asked.
“Well, yes; lam confident the seed
came with the dust from some other
world. ”
In answer to my look of amazement,
and it may be incredulity, lie continued:
“It was certainly not planted in this pot
in any shape. And how could a fern-
root or a fern seed have become mixed
with the dust at the top of thick snow
and ice? That was impossible. Neitiiei
could it get into the bottle in which 1
kept it until emptied into this pot, which
was brand new. And now, if cosmic
dust can settle upon the earth, which, 1
believe, scientists regard as a fact, is
there anything unreasonable in supposing
that alight plant seed can do the same?”
“Your logic seems good, but I must
confess that on first thought your theory
appears fanciful.”
“On first thought it would undoubt
edly seem so, but not on the hundredth,
perhaps. 1 have studied this matter in
all directions, and I have come to the
conclusion that some of the varieties of
our plants have had just such an origin
as I claim for this fern, and it may be
that the same is true of some of our ani
mal species. Perhaps the beginning of
all life on earth had such an origin; per
haps life from this earth has been wafted
to our neighbor planets as well.
“Now, another confirmation of my
theory as regards this particular plant is
that no one has ever seen one like it. ! No
botanist that I ever consulted has been
able to classify it. Since I became in
terested in the subject I have examined
many kinds of fern, but never came
across one that resembled this.”
- “ How long has it been growing ?”
“Ten years. It grows very slowly,
and does not thrive on water. At the
Suggestion of a friend I have tried sprin
kling it with diluted ammonia, which
seems to agree with it.”
At this point we came, as I thought,
very suddenly to my destination, and as
I left the car I asked the stranger to give
me his name. He replied that it was
Parleton or Carleton, I could not distin
guish which, and he said he was on hi?
wav to England.

Italian Industries in the Metropolis
The humble sons of Italy in the manu
facture of macaroni and vermicilli have
almost a monopoly in New York. Flour
and saffron are tha principal ingredients
of these edibles and the component parts
arc cut into small pieces or threads like
worms (vermicelli) bv forcing the mix
ture with a piston through little holes
in the end of a pipe. The kneading of
the flour is done by a wooden pole at
tached to a part fixed in the ground and
worked up and down as a lever, under
one end of which the paste is placed.
The dough is sometimes piled up and
after beiug trodden, is ro.ied by a
rolling-pin in the ordinary method.
Subsequently this paste is forced through
an iron arrangement full of holes. The
largest roils are macaroni', the second
largest vermicelli and the smallest fede-
lini. The flour generally used in Minne
sota, as'it approaches in quality to
Italian flour full of gluten or starch.
The saffron used at present is wholesome
egetable matter.
The Italians who are seen in Crosby,
Mott, Elm and Baxter streets, carrying
bags of dilapidated boots and shoes, are
far from being paupers. They get thirty
cents per 100 pounds for these apparently
worthless soles, and thus do they sup
port the body, mainly by indulging in
native wine and the manufacture above
referred to. The Italian, fortified with
these two articles, can save money on
small earnings, where an American would
starve. The Italians who are a grade
above the lazzareni or beggars, take the
world very easy, and travel as they say,
con commodo—i. e., at a “convenient”
rate of speed.

One Man’s Work.
A traveler in France recently described
a settlement on the river Oise, which
might borrow the name of Rasselas’
Happy Yal.ey.. It is the work of one
man, M. Godin, who was born in ex
treme poverty, and obliged to work when
a child from 5 o’clock in the morning
until 8 at night.
The oppression and misery of his
childhood gave him one fixed resolve—
to help the condition of the poor. By
means of several inventions, for which
he secured patents, he became a wealthy
man. Ho bought a tract of ground in
the valley of the Oise, and erected work
shops on one side of the river. On the
other side he built an immense house,
capable of accommodating 800 people,
lighted, aired and drained according to
the most advanced laws of sanitation.
The building contained a nursery,
schools, baths, laundries, library, gym
nasium and amusement hall. He has
enlarged it year by year until it will ac
commodate 1,400 inmates.
Five years ago M. Godin formed all
kis work-people into a vast partnership,
giving each a share in the workshops,
buildings and library. The rooms in the
home are rented for less than the la
borer would pay for a hove . The tenant
buys his fuel, provisions and other sup
plies at a co-operative store, iu which he
is an owner. His children are cared for
in the nursery, then promoted to the
kindergartens, and next to the school,
until they reach the age of fifteen, when
the boys are received into the shops, and
the girls take part in the domestic work
of the home. Each workman has free
access to the library and gymnasium.

is cultivated, filled with fruit and
