THE BAST OF A TELEGRAM
. "A telegram for Mr. Denning." said the beU-bor of the New York Hotel Butehel, knocking at the door of that gentleman's apartments. "Pear me," nervously exelaiated Mr. Denmog's bettBT half, "what can it hef turning the dreaded rtvelope over and aver in her hands. t . "The message m on the inside," ,-tatxaricalty laggeeted the boy. ' Acting on the Totnateered informa
tion and tearing open the dnpatoh,
over to Brooklyn, and we may stay oyer there all night," answered Fred.
An hour later he was standing in the
cosy parlor of his model mother-in-law.
"Where fa Ethel and, what does she Ban by this nonsensical note?" he
iffipatienay demanded of his surprised
hostess, jrteamwtiptm -note in her

swered the old lady, her sweet face
growing pale as she read the daughter's
note, and understood the misery Ethel
must haye suffered to take snoh a. step.
"Well, I don't," replied Fred, sit
ting down and despairingly thinking of all sorts of abductions, and crimes
worse, which might befall the unwary.
"I dont know anything about, it," be
repeated, "unless Ethel has lost her reason. Yon know that is all bosh, mother?" he said, kicking the cruel note across the room.
booking in the good, manly counte
nance, Ethel's mother felt assured that
tan must be her daughter s blunder.
'Well, what are yon going to do?
the only answer the old lady re
turned, seeing Fred moving near the door.
"Find her, of course, if she's living.

Mrs. Denning immediately became al
most transfixed with horror. "What! What ean this be, or mean?" she misnamed, looking at she simple sontenceiintfl the letters seenieoTbnrned in her brain. "Yon must have made a

"So, there's no answer," replied the receiver, wsrily, as she closed the door
of the pretty room and sank into the willow rocker.
"To think," she sobbed, trying to again read the message through the
blinding tears, "that I have lived to meet sneh a fate at the hands of the man I married the one I thought was the handsomest sad truest fellow alive. Oh, Fred, how could you? How could you deceive me sot" ' Unfortunately the little woman's partner, being, as usual, engaged at his aOce a considerable distance away, his wife's questions, of course, remained unanswered and her angnish uncontrolled. "I will go down to the office and confront him with this proof of his treachery," she tearfully eonefanUd. "But, no, he may not be there, nod any-
I do not want to look on his false again never again."

mueh puzzled by the note as his wife
had been by the dispatch, and growing slightly profane in has amazement. "The telegram will explain all," he re-read aloud to convince himself that he was not a victim to nightmare. "Well, emphatically, where in the thunder is the telegram?" . High and low Fred searched for the missing message which would unravel the mystery, even unrolling Ethel's little curl papers in hope of 'finding the clue to her unsatisfactory scrawl, and lovingly straightening the crumpled'papers out for the next occasion. "Of coarse die will want them tonight again," Fred declared to relieve bis mind, as be laid the papers away again, and decided to qneatton the clerk sos information.

In spite of all persuasion Fred was too
eager to start on his discouraging round of inquiry to waste any time, and, shsr-
hfe distress, Ethel's widowed
mother ten minutes later was walking by his side.
"By Jove! mother," Fred ejaculate a,
"I was to meet Wf I Lacy at the Madi
son House to-night at 7:30, so I'll have to leave yon in the parlor while I explain matters, to him, and perhaps he
can help us out a little, if I'm not too
late to see him. "
Fortunately it was his friend who
was behind time, and,, making an effort
to become calm during the interval.
Fred seated himself by his companion
in the apparently vacant hotel parlor,
throwing his arm lightly around her as he saw how despondent the heretofore brave mother had grown.
"Dont worry," he entreated, gently,
holding the anxious matron's still pretty hand. "You know there is and always has been but one woman in the world I

young man, now himseli agam tnat his other half is at least in sight, "she did, but I must confess that as yet we
are both of us wofully ignorant of your motive in giving us suoh a wild-goose

"This is adding insult to injury, re
torted Ethel, "do you mean to say "
Hello, old man, greeted Fred's
friend, Will Lacy, joining the inter
ested group; "so you got my telegram
tiiis morning,?
"Heavens! what telegram are you
two idiots bothering me about? I'm sure mother and I wilt feel infinitely
obliged if some one will only explain-
unless you want us taken to a private
retreat for the incurable. "
"Didn't you find the dispatch,
Fred?" queried Ethel, reaching for her
handkerchief and pulling the cause
of all the trouble out of her pocket
Why, here is my message now, de
clared Will Lacy, politely picking up
the telegram and reading it aloud.
DbabFbxd: Wil meet yon aa you raqaeitea at tbe Madison at 7:30 to-nigrrt."
"Why, hello, the operator has signed
ft 'Dasy' instead of 'Lacy.'"
"And of course I thought, dearest
Fred, that that it was a woman," murmured Ethel shyly, drawing near her
husband. .
Yon thought you would run away,
eh?" Fzed questioned, giving the
flushed cheek a pinch.
. "Well, really, Ethel," commented her mother, "I should have thought you
would have come home instead .of
here?"
"Well," confessed Ethel, "I intended
comina home to-night, but I wanted

to-night, Mr. Sampson?"
"Ah, yes, Miss Smith; but they are
dim and lusterless compared with certain earthly ones," he said, looking into her eyes. "
"And the wind," she went on, "how
soft and low, as it gently moves the chestnut trees."
"If I should tell you, dear," he said,
"that my love for you had grown cold ; that I had ceased to oare for you, and that the happy time when I shall claim you as my ownest own will never, never
be, would it really be a trial to you,
darling?"
"Yes, George," shyly admitted the
girl, "it would be a breach-of-pronuse trial." New York Sun.
"To see the other woman," laughed
Fred. "Well, little one, if you had just remembered this is lodge night, and' I
told you last week I was to meet Lacy

"I always did say," observed his
mother-in-law, "that those lodges were
the cause of half the matrimonial troubles in the world, and now I am
more than ever of that opinion."
"No," lautrhed happy EtheL walking
gaily by her husband's side, "no, it was

NUMEROUS SWEET MORSELS.
A Little Humor, a Bit of Poetry, mo Some
Breezy Gossip About Modest Maidens and Giddy Girls.
A Savers Tear.
Becuiy and. J'otmr of Woman, Some one has classified women under
two headings the beautiful and the good. The distinction may be too absolute, but it is certain that the man would rather admire than marry a beatiful woman. And it is no less certain that many men who have married women remarkable for their devotion have with sorrow seen an extraordinary change in their wives soon after marriage. In such a case the woman may not scruple to explain this ohange as dne to the novel and jarring circumstances of married life. But she will not be saved by suoh sophistry.
The father of the Jesuits knew all
about it when- he made it a rule of his
life "that familiarity with all women ought to be avoided, even with the most
devout; that the most innocent com
merce with them, if it wound not our conscience, leaves some stain upon our repuntation and the smoke blackens though
the fire does not burn us. " It has been
said that the beautiful woman is a book containing only a single page, which may be read at a glance; whereas the
woman who is both beautiful and good,
is a book of many pages, proper perusal of which exacts a lifetime. It
may be so, but why is it that the women of the latter uncommon type always survive their husbands or series of husbands? Enough, however.
It is sufficiently evident that women
have always been esteemed as an amiable blunder, and are likely to be the cause of incredibly bitter blundering in the future. While there is time let us entreat their leaders to look whither
they are going. To the men of this
generation, happily, it matters but lit

"When all ia thought and said, The heart still overrule! the head ; Still what -we hope we must believe. And what is given m receive. " We are thus assured of a measure of

sisters look for guidance and instruction, we beseech you to have mercy on
the men of the future. All the Year Bound.
Striking Out for srAemeeelem,
Our young women of merit and our
women of maturer years are betaking
themselves more and more to study. They are informing themselves concerning municipal and national governments, they are interested in political economy, ancient and modern history, the languages, and also, to a very large
extent, its charities. If they do not converse "intelligently with men" it is for the excellent reason that the men are wanting. The sterner sex at the
present time are lovers of clubs; they have little desire to converse with women; consequently they possess a slight, very slight knowledge of woman's power in conversation. When a
man and a brother whe is permitted to
enter the sacred precincts of the attractive club houses of Boston tells us of
"pitchers of beer" and "punch bowls,"
and "pictures seen through the blue
smoke of cigars and pipes," and another man, eminent and eligible as to membership, adds that "the gentlemen's clubs of Boston are not open to women
except festive nights, because the members must have their beer and tobacco, " we can echo the question of the writer in reference to the conversational powers of women and ask, "Who is to blame?" Surely not the women. Any woman long accustomed to the society of refined gentlemen under
stands the foil value of crossing lances with a man of keen intellect; she enjoys it and welcomes suoh opportunities. She is proud to number on the sacred list of friends the men who have a thought to express or are ready, as Walpole says, to sing "a careless song with a little nonsense in it, whisk does not misbecome a monarch." The witticisms and brightness of lunches where women alone assemble are worthy of record, and I know of one woman who sometimes turns away from such a feast a little saddened by the thought that men were excluded and lost so much. Again, who is to blame? Surely not women, who welcome a "ladies' night" with delight; the one iestaof all the year where they are tolerated. Boston Globe.

were pioneers. One always spelled
working woman with a capital letter and by some she was regarded as a heroine, by others as a sort of nineteenth century amsson, or necessary eviL From the pulpit came the title for her of the "exiled queen;" tha newspapers cheered her, but society
looked somewhat dubiously upon her.
But pushed on by a noble duty, the little army of crusaders swelled to many, and in the college and factory,
in tlio printing office and bank, in tbe shop and commission-house, women
with families to support, with dear mothers and children dependent on them, or with lazy husbands and loutish
brothers, made their appearance.
Modest, and sensible, and faithful,
they sunk sex out-ol sight and became only workers in the world. They brought into the busy world no evil influences nor bad habits, and they became the fashion, the fad, of two winters ago. They were first pitied, then
endured, and then embraced, and the world at largo seemed disposed to re
gard them as a sort of peculiar species of heroines to be lionized, patronized, and enthused over.
Every woman wished for a profes
sion or a trade. Wives bought bread, as they had no time to bake biscuits or curl the baby's hair because they must go to the telegraph or telephonic class. Rich young ladies, who would not admit that it is better to spend than to
save, and that spending money may really be earning good and doing the task God allots,, fell to making fancy work for the exchange, and preserves for the confectioners, and yeast cakes for the grocer.
It was hardly safe to ask a young
woman if she would sing you a song in her own parlor for fear she would say:
"How much will you pay me? If my
song is worth hearing it is worth paying for." Every other person was
writing for the press for the maga
zines and editors North, South, East, and West were literally snowed under by darky sketches, and dialect stories,
and Creole novels, and gumbo ' ohan-
sons, written without any motive or any preparation, simply because it was - the fashion to be in some sort and in some way a sort of heroine in the world of
the workingwoman. Meanwhile the quiet school-teachers' and patient clerks, and the singers, and seamstresses, and writers went on working because they had to work, living brave, sweet cheerful lives; getting all they could out of life; being helped be each other, by the confidence of employers, the respect of the public, and feeling that the day would come when a woman might take naturally her place in the working world, and make no more stir than if she were any young man entering on the profession by which he hoped to support his family and take care of himself. And the day has come. There is nothing sensational in Eliza J. Nicholson managing a newspaper, in Mrs. P. Murray being a great cistern-builder, in Mrs. C. H. Young being a stove and oil merchant, in Mrs. Huye running a box factory, or Mrs. Carre building log cabins. Woman's work and woman's world are anywhere and everywhere that God and duty to her family and her neighbors may call her. The working world is better for the women who are in it. They have added honor to it, not taken honor from it The working woman has learned not to mistake her duty in life, nor to usurp the duty of others, nor to belittle the task that is really hers and the place that is really hers ; and having learned this, years of toil cannot crush her spirit, nor dull her ambition, nor debase her soul.

FAILING FINANCIERS,
Wall Street Leader Go Down One by One What Causes Their Vail. Bank Presidents say mat 76 per cent of the men who go into buaiues, fall. The percentage is uiuoU larger among financial operators. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of tbe "Napoleons of I'liiancs" of Wall street end their career in failure.

ABSTEMIOUS HINDOOS. There is no abstemiousness in the world and no thrift like the thrift and abstemiousness of the average native of India. Almost alone among tho workingmen of the world, he has raiufld himself nearly above wants, has stripped himself of all the impediments of luxury. Millions of men in India, especially on the richer soils and in the river deltas, live, marry, and rear apparently healthy children upon an income which, even when the wife works, is rarely above 2 shillings a week, and frequently sinks to 18 pence. The Indian is enabled to do this not so much by the cheapness of food for, 'though
it is cheap, a European who ate the
same food would want five times tho
money merely to feed himself as by
a habit of living which makes him in'
dependent tof the ordinary cares of
mankind; He goes nearly without
clothes, gives his children none, and
dresses his wife in a long piece of the most wretched muslin. Neither he nor his wife pay tailor or milliner one shilling during their entire lives, nor do they ever purchase needles or thread, which indeed, it is contrary to a semi-religious
etiquette ever to use. The poorer peasant inhabits a hut containing a sinale covered room of the smallest size
with an earthen platform or two out
side it; and as he constructs and repairs his own dwelling he virtually pays no
rent, except for the culturable land.
He never touches alcohol or any substitute for it. There is an idea in En
gland that he eats opium or hemp; but
he, .as a rule, swallows neither firstly,
beoanse he regards them with as much moral antipathy as any English gentle
men, and secondly, because he could not by any possibility pay for articles which in India, as everywhere else, are exceedingly expensive. He eats abso
lutely no meat, nor any animal fat, nor any expensive grain like good wheat; but lives on millet or small rioe, a little milk, with the butter from the milk, and the vegetables he grows. Even of the-e he eats more sparingly than the poorest Tuscan. Onoe a quarter, perhaps, he will eat enough, during some festival, but as a rule he knows accurately what will sustain him, and would be enraged with the wife who oooks for him if she prepared more. He is assisted in this economy by a religious rule which we have never seen a Hindoo break, And which is undoubtedly like the rule against killing oxen, a survival from a military law or custom of the most remost antiquity.
Government of Children. There has been bo much said, both wise
ly and unwisely, in regard to the government and training of children, that it leads one to wonder why this advice is not pro
ductive of more good. It is a sad and melancholy faet that the harmony of many fai too many homos is spoiled by contentions and arguments aiising from the
method of governing children. I cannot
help but feel that the old-fashioned un
written law where children were taught obedience, and were taught it arbitrarily, if you will ia a law not to bo despised, or lifhtly overthrown. There are undoubtedly many parents who are unfit to govern or control their children, but we will assume there are few parents whose natural affection for their offspring will not keep them from using their authority to tbe detriment of the child. We should bear in mind I say we advisedly, as I am a parent that we are educating children to be men and women, to exeroiss judgment, to take their plaee in the business of life, as responsible beings; hence, while we should expect respectful obedience from them, it should be considered time not lost to explain to them why it is best that they should do things in a certain way. Teach them, aa far as it is possible, by example. Let them find yon consistent, truthful, responsible as to your promises, and, a very important item, punctuality. Let them understand early in life the natural consequences which can not be eseuped and follow directly the wrong doing. These things should not be stated excitedly, or in an "I told you so" manner, but quietly, consistently, and perhaps sorrowfully. Be sympathetic with your child, and let the obedience which
you exaot be born of love for you, and not
fear of your punishment, which the law and your superior physical strength gives you power to inflict. What I mean to emphasize is not let the punishment come direct from tbe rjarent. but be a natural
consequence, as far as it is possible. Let
not the bitter experiences come too late in life to be of any material benefit. There are few thugs a child capnot understand in regard to his own conduct if the parent wfll take the trouble to explain; and a child's love and respect cannot fail to be increased instead of the reverse, if the parent shows him why it is best for his wishes to be thwarted in the present that the returns of good in the future will be greater and a wise parent will let him experience some pain through bis persistency in wrong doing. He will then see that he was told to stop for bis own good, and not because his parent desired to command. We should not expect too much from the little active bodies and eager minds of our children and while mnoh is being done to harrass and worry an over tired and anx
ious mother, let us not see it all, or talk i
too mnoh and be sparing of our commands. A obild will cease to respect the words of a parent if he hears a constant repetition, and we must not forget that the ! more often a child errs through thoughtlessness rather than willfulness, make him feel that you are grieved, and sorrowful rather than angry, and above all, keep away from your obild, if yon cannot control your personal resentment. Beni. Franklin's advice if very angry, count one hundred before you speak is an excellent rule for parents. I feel like making a direct appeal to n. others, as our average American business uiun has little time to govern his children, and to the wise and loving mother we look to the future of our country for is it not in her power to direct the moral and responsible nature of tbe coming man and woman? Teach the little one not to fear his father's displeasure, bnt rather to fear -to grieve him. We are all, old and young alike, so amenable to love and kindness that we can seldom fhtl to touch the heart, If we wait until the anger has gone in both ourselves and the soul we are seeking to develop.

to be growing in California. One of !
these trees measured fifty-eight inches in circumference at a point about two feet above the surface of the ground, was over thirty feet in height, of symmetrical proportions, and is what might be called a "right handsome tree." The remaining three measured from thirty to forty inches in circumference, and of proportionate height. A strange feature of these trees is that their age is unknown and that for ten years past thev have received no attention what

' Not many States had originally as valuable forests as California. While wa lack tho hard woods of tho East, we have other timber of greater value. The natural facilities for preservation of timber here are excelled. We might, by proper foresting, have preserved the original acreage, in on-coming timber of the valuable varieties, of which California has a natural monopoly. Whenever we save a tree from wanton destruction, we are preserving also the
climatic characteristics which draw the world's attention to California. We need a federal forestry law, supple
mented by tho Keenest of btate supervision. Other States are ahead of us
in re-forestiug, while they are abreast
of our negligence in preserving the
forests which they found grown. Like
us, they have fallen upon the timber
as if it were a public enemy, and unlike us thev have learned to plant a
sapling when they fell a tree. We are
not without the light of experience on
