A GRAND ENTERPRISE
ITS ORIGIN AND SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT DUE TO A WOMAN.
A Residence I'or Needy Professional Workers That Is Not a Charity—Miss M. A. Fisher and tho Ilome Hotel—Its Founding, Policy and Guests.
A modest little card tacked to tho front door of a handsome brick house in St. Aim's avenue, near Ouo Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, announces to tho world tho existence of a hotel which embodies a woman's idoa and efforts in lightening tho burdens of othor persons. Among refined and congenial surroundings the guest of this house, which is called the Home hotol aucl is opon to both men and women, may havo a cozy room and good faro for very little moro money a week than au orchestra chair at a theater costs, and if she happens to be struggling against fate with au empty pocketbook sho may havo the same accommodations for nothing at all until fortuno smiles.
Yet the hotel is not a charitable institution. A more valuable possession than money is required to give you entry there. You must havo brains, and they must be brains, moreover, that are refined and polished by education and culture, for tho hotel is conducted for authors, musicians, teachers and members of other professions who find temporary difficulty in wringing dollars i'rom an unappreciative world, and for those who are incapacitated by age or illness from earning money.
A courtly old gentleman opens the frout door to tho needy braiuworker who comes for tho first time and bows the caller into tho parlor, with the information that Miss will atteud hor presently. A very pleasant first impression of tho hotol is receivod while waiting here. Those parlors seem instinct with informality and sociability. The plain, substantial furniture tho piano, with its loose and apparently ott turned sheets of music the well thumbed magazines and books, tho portraits and engravings, combine to remind one of au old fashionod country house where hospitality and simplicity.dwell and ostentation has 110 place.
The door opens softly, and a sweet faced woman outers. Iu a manner full of charm and tact she asks the necessary questions, and the caller is invited to come again on a certain day. Meanwhile her credentials are carefully investigated. If the result is satisfactory, a warm welcome awaits her on her second visit, and she becomes one of the little company whoso ambitions iu art or literature liavo not yet been realized or are worn out with tho efforts of a lifetime. She pays whatever sho can afford, from $1 a week to $7, and sympa thy and material aid, where possible, are extended to her in her work.
Professional persons over G5 may become life guests by the payment of $300, which is l-aised by relatives or a church Bociety, and sometimes by the patrons of the home. There are at present about 60 guests in the four connecting houses, to which the hotel has been enlarged. They are not all without meaus. A number pay full rates for board, and live in the hotel because of its society of clever, interesting -persons and the atmosphere of refinement and homeliness.
Tho founder of the hotel and the president of the association, which includes among its members many prominent New York men and women, is Miss Mary A. Fisher. "Our hotel," as was told to a reporter in a visit there, "occupies a field of usefulness all its own. There are authors' and actors' funds and charitable organizations, but we do not feel that we are conducting a charity. We are simply providing a home for brainworkers who have earned a rest, and for ambitious educated persons whose present means might not otherwiso enable them to live amid congenial surroundings. "A beautiful liouso in Hampstead, Englaud, where governesses, grown old in their profession, could livo out their lives in peace and restfulness, suggested the idea of the hotel to mo. And afterward, here iu New York, it camo to me again with striking force. In a wretched room in a tenement house I found an aged musician and composer iu his last illness. 'Don't send me to an almshouse,' he begged. 'Let me die here. I am used to the cold, and those o!ci Bundles of music,1 poiutiug with a trembling finger to the rude shelf abovo nisbed filled with his manuscript musii\ 'are companions. They are iiko children to me.' "On another occasion a friend wanted some writing done, and a publisher recommended an author and his wife who wrote for a livelihood. In East Eleventh street, amid ajmost squalid surroundings, wo found these cultured people. They were called successful writers, their special field being biography and history, but they accepted tho work eagerly, on auy terms. We asked no questions. N0110 wore necessary. The pinched look on their child's faco and their own pallor told the story of privation. "These and similar experiences opened my eyes to the great need of a hotel like ours, and after many discouragements I started. It was eight years ago —years that have given mo a wealth of experience arid shown me somo of tho strangest aud most pathetic phases of human nature. Arouud my table havo gathered geniuses who were half mad, confused by tho luxuriance of their own ideas iuglorious Miltons who were perhaps too far ahead of their times to gain recognition, young persons of ardent ambitions, which have since been realized in some cases noblemen and women who lni-ked but out! qualification— than of g' 'axigj money. Among the saddest casus are the widows who after years of comfort and affluence are thrown on their own resources without training or talent which will avail them in self support. "—.New York Times.

A DINNER IN KOREA.
It Is Ceremonial That Extends Through tho Entire Day. "Korea, tho country which caused alt the trouble botween China aud Japan, has many queer social customs, aid J. A. Morrill,
"and
I remember going
to a banquet given by a member of t' foreign office tliero, which, in many respects, was quite unique. Tho guests arrived long beforo tho dinner hour, for iu Korea an affair of this kind lasts all day, and wero ushorcd into a pavilion ndjacent. to tho 0110 in which tho dinner was to bo served. After several half hours had beenwhilcd away in smoking and in conversation tho dinner was at last announced, and wo wero summoned into tho other hall. "As soon as wo had entered tho officials began to divest themselves of somo of their clothing, for parts of a liativo's wearing apparel seriously incommodo him in taking food. Wo took our places at a large rectangular table, which was heaped with food of all kinds in brazen dishes of hemispherical shape. For the first course wo bad soup and sul, which is a kind of wine, and for the second tho waiters handed around some of tho other dishes which stood on the table. Theso contained meats of various kinds —beef, pork and fried fish cut iu thin yellow slices. At this juncture there entered several Korean singing girls, clad in tho gaudiest costumes, a:id whoso business it was to make themselves generally agreeable when at banquet, for they constitute all the fernalo society that there is in that country. Their singing was not what au American would call good, nor was their dancing, but their conversation and presence certainly added a zest to tho occasion. "Long as it is, a Korean banquet eventually comes to au eud, and this one closed with a decoction of pear juico colored crimson and spiced with piuo nuts. This wo sipped at our leisure, while tho attendants lighted pipes for us. After watching the performances of the singing girls wo summoned our chairs and wero carried to crar various home, .1 at least feeling much wiser by having participated iu ono of tho queer customs of a queer people."—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
ROBBED BY PARROTS.
These llirds I'lay 11 Part In .Shaping the Destiny of America. A flight of birds, coupled with a sailor's superstition, robbed Columbus of the honor of discovering the continent. It is ajcurious but historical fact. When Columbus sailed westward over tho unknown Atlantic, he expected to reach Zipangu, Japan. After several days' sail from Gomera, ono of the Canary islands, he became uneasy at not discovering Zipangu, which, according to his reckoning, should have boon 210 nautical milos more to tho east.
After a long discussion ho yielded to the opinion of Martin Alonzo Pinzon, the commander of thoPinta, and steered to the southwest. Pinzon was guided in his opinion solely by a flight of parrots, which took wing in that directiou. It was good luck to follow in tho wake of a flight of birds when engaged upon a voyage of discovery—a widespread superstition among Spanish seamen of that day—and this change in tho great navigator's course curiously exemplifies tho influence ot' small and apparently trivial events in the world'* history.
If Columbus had held to his course, he would have entered the gulf stream, have reached Florida and then probably have been carried to Capo Hatteras and Virginia. Tho result would probably htwo given the present United States a Roman Catholic Spanish population instead of a Protestant English one, a circumstance of immeasurable importance. "Never," wrote Humboldt, "had the flight of birds more important conse quences. "—Current Literature.
A Daunted Lumber Cainp. Strange tales come from tho Sourd nahunk region 111 regard to Jack Reed's depot camp on the road leading to Strickland's mountain. The camp is built over tho grave of a man who was killed in some unknown way, and the woodsmen say tho place is haunted. At auy rate on every moonlight night a listener outside the camp can hear the sound of rolling stones that apparently are grating, grinding, rattling, plunking each othor, as though sliding down a steep bank.
Diligent search has been mado for the source of this straugo noise, but so l'ar no one has solved tho mystery. Old lumbermen remember that tho camp has been considered to bo haunted for years, and tho sound of the rolling stones has been heard on many a moonlight night in tho past. Many lumbermen who are ou their wa, into the Hourdnahunk region prerer to push by tho depot camp and tako a night tramp rather than sleep over that gravu and hear those grinding, rolling stones.—Iiangor News.
HIS SMILE WENT WITH THE POSE.
Tile Model In the I-ifi Class Smiled Simply For the Sake of Art. An amusing incident occurred not long ago in a well known New York art school. The girl students wero drawing from life a sindy of the "iJaneing Faun." A good looking Italian boy was the model, and as he assumed tne requisite poso his faco became wreaihed 111 smiles.

In spite of the indignant glances cast at him ihe. son of Italy continued to smile at the blushing girls.
