Richard Turner, a lawyer, let us hope of future fame, returning home t im other night in unenviably bad humor, found a certain little note awaiting him on hi mantelpiece. It had just come, his landU-ly said, ana slowly tearing open the enveljie, Dick read as follows: Ml Data Ma. TlB.nta: Many 'hanks for your lovely flowers wbicU bare been greatly adniired. It was like yur ihoughtfuloess i remember my birth, day when I bad almo-tt forgotteu it myself. I was so sorry to miss your call thii afternoon. Siucerely yours. lorcb Bidifkr. A very gracious litt'e note, but for some reason it appeared to atfurd its reader but small satisfaction. Dick read it twice with a curling lip, then tossing it intjthe scrap basket, he lit a cigar, stretched himself in an easy chair and thoughtfully observed through the smoke wreaths that began ty float around his head: "What a precious little liar she is! As if I didn't see her, ten minutes after she was 'not at home to me this atternoon, start out driving with Tom linker in that confoundedlv jerky dogcart of his. Shouldn't wonder if he had jerked her out before they got home; and serve her right, tool Why, Snip, what is tb matter with you, sir?" Snip was the skye terrier, who failing to un ttr?tand why he had been slighted, was seeking to secure his master's notice by sitin. upright and waving his front paws to and fro in a gentle and deprecating fashion 'Did I hurt your feelings, poor little boy?" aai i Dick, tenderly. Well, I wouldn t, I &s.-ure you, for a dozen little flirts like Florence llodiler, but I do think, Snip, and 1 expect you to agree with me, that we would all be much better off if women and men, too, would say out truthfully what was in their minds instead of this eternal beating around the bush. Why can't people be a little more candid with their fallow creatures instead of fooling them to the top of their bent and then laughing behind their backs? Do you know. Snip?" Snip didn't know, but he wai the last dog in the world to confess his ignorance, so assumingl look of wisdom which Solomon might have envied, he gave a mysterious little bark that could mean anything and composed himself again to listen. "Just 8 o'clock," said Dick, consulting his watch. "In two houra I've got to dresä and go to Mrs. Grey's ball, the biggest bore of the season I haven't a doubt; but there is no escaping it. Aren't you glad. Snip, you don't have to go to balls?" Snip barked aga:n, this time in an affirmative manner, lie always accomodated himself to his master's moods and was well accustomed to being questioned Alert and vigilant he watched the cigar dwindle down by slow degrees, while be waited in wellbred ßilence for a renewal of the conversation. But Dick was drowsy and cross, and when the ctear was smoked out he turned his head aside and fell fst asleep, while his little dog, curled contentedly around his feet, looked up into his master's face with a world of patient love in his honest brown eyes. Seven, 8. 0,10. Was it possible that he had slept near ly two hours, and the clock was striking 10 ? Dick jumped up, glanced at his watch to in ke sura, and with a stifled groan prepared to induct himself into his dress suit. Tbis was never a very rapid process with him, and by the time he entered Mrs. (Jrcy'e brilliantly lighted house the great ct. -k xu the hall wa3 pointing to quarter pasi 11. The rooms were crowded and stiflingly hot. The very flowers appeared to droop under the glare and the heat, all except some deep red roses which had been arranged in a sentence over the doorway, and -whose glowing hearts presented the most sumptuous and intense bit of coloring, even in that many hued apartment. It was etrange, but Dick found himself unable to read that sentence, although composed of only three short words. The language, even the letters, were unknown to him, and for half a minute he stood puzzling over the mystery. Then the incoming crowd gently shoved him. aside, and abandoning the effort, he made the best of his way toward the hostess. A pretty little woman, magnificently dressed, butseemingly already much fatigued with the work in hand, half-smiled as Dick edged up to her. Have you just come, Jlr. Turner?" she said. "I thought you were to be one of my early birds." "So I would have been," he explained. "only, unfortunately, I fell asleep and did not wake up in time." Oh, that was the case, was it? Well, such a lengthy nap ought to brighten you up beautifully for the rest of the evening. Sometimes, you know4 you are rather atupid." Dick looked at her to see if she meant a joke, but her pretty face was gravely raised to his. "You are flattering me," he said, shortly. "I don't mean to. indeed," ene answered, quite earnestly. '"But there are plenty of m.n wtio are always stupid, while you can be rather entertaining, when you are at your best," and she turned gently from him to greet a new batch of guests. Was I ever damned with such faint fraise before?" thought Dick. I wonder if am at my best to-night?" For a minute he stood, taking a survey of the scene before him. The musicians were playing a waltz, and play Lg it well; only strange to say there was a flute among them, which came piping in with its shrill, persis ent little treble in a manner distracting to Dick's over-sen-itive ear. He thought of Mozart's saying that the only thing in the world worse than a flute in an orchestra was two flutes, and wondered atMrs.Orev's choice in music. Nevertheless, as long as he was there be might as well dance, and, looking around for familiar faces, his first glance fell upon a brown-eyed maiden whom he had met at a party only the week before, and whom he had admired with the guarded and half-supercilious admiration of a veteran society man. In another minute they were on the floor contending with their fellowcreatures for a little rcom to whirl around in, and seemingly successful in their struggle, until a slight lurch sent them rather suddenly against another pair of dancers. That was stupid, wasn't it?" said Dick, as they stopped to take breath after the con- ? naainn. Ya." replied she of the brown eyes. r.5.ino them franklv to his face. "You arc

rather a poor dancer. Perhaps you are out of practice?" "Indeed I ought not to be," protested Dick, in unutterable indignation at the charge. 'I never danced more in my life than I have this winter." "Is that so? It must be awkwardness then," said his companion, gently. 4Sme people never can thoroughly learn I think it is a natural gift." Dick wondered if he could have heard aright, or if that wretched little flute, still piping away so complacently, had absolutely bewildered him. It there was one thing he prided himself on more than another one gift, natural or otherwise, which he felt sure of possessing it was hisdarjeing. Was the brown-eyed damsel out of her mind, or

was she simply an ill bred little thing who did not know a good dancer from a bad one f Whichever was the case, he lost no time in getting rid of her, and, mute with amaze ment and disgust, took refuge among a group of men at the door. "You here, Turner?" said one of them. "I hardly recognized you at first, you look so yellow." "Do I, indeed?" said Dick, shortly, and wondering what be was doomed to hear next. 4lI should rather think you did," was the friendly answer. "1 just said to Smith here as you came up that between your sallow skin and that bald spot on your head you were beginning to look like an old man before your time. Why don't vou take to country life and early hours and freshen up a bit? "Why dn't you mind your own affairs and kindly leave me to attend to mine?" retorted Dick, i-ow thoroughly aroused, and without waiting for another word he veered around and left the group, who on J and all seemed profoundly astonished at Lis illtemper. By thin time he began to feel a little uncertain who to approach next. Having been told already that he was stupid, ugly and a bad dancer, what was there left for him to hear? He certainly had never met so many disagreeable people in his life, and he had serious thoughts of beating a permanent retr at, vrhen he caught sight of a blonde head half hidden behind the azaleas in the conservatory. It was Florence Kedifer, whom ho had never expected to meet to-night and whom two hours ago he would have indignantly avoided. But for some reason his contempt for her flattery and falseness had been strangely modified in so short a time and he felt a positive yearning to listen to her pretty nothings and to see her blue eyes uplifted with that tender glance of admiring trustfulness to his. It must have cost her a gnfftt deal of time and patience to cultivate that glance up to its present perfection and it was unkind, after all, to sneer at the le.-ult of such honest and enduring toil. The next minute he was bv hertside. She did look very pretty; her fair hair tumbled n some mysterious fashion on the top of her hapely little head; her bright face lit up with tsmiles, and her white silk gleaming under the colored lamps with a sott and starting radiance that pleased Dick's cultivated eye. He was not one of those to whom a woman's gown is a matter of o- indifference. "I came in here for a little air," she said; "the rooms are so terribly hot, and the whole affair is very stupid. Don't you think so?" "It has been worse than stupid for me," he answered, laughing. "I have been insulted wherever 1 went. First, Mrs. Grey told me I was often very stupid; then Miss Vincent, do you know her? She is dancing now with Tom Stern." "I don't know her; but never mind! What did she say to jou?" She told me that 1 was awkward and a bad dancer, and intimated that I could never thoroughly learn." Florence lteduer burst into a laugh as clear and merry as silver bells. 'But you know, Mr. Turner," said she, ''your best friends do not claim for vou that you dance well." Dick gasped and then recovered; he was getting hardened now. "I always flattered myself that I did," he said boldly. She looked at him in some surprise. "Of course I don't mean to say," she explained, "that one can not get around with you at all, but only you are not very graceful or sure-footed! There are plenty of men here who dance .vorae. Mr. Simpson, for instance." 'I should hope so," said Dick, as Simpson, a little weak-eyed roan, who held his fair partner as if he feared she was packed with dynamite and was in danger every minute of exploding, moved laboriously past the door. ''If that is the host you can say for me, Miss Florence, I shall never have the audacity to a3k you to dance again," and with a heavy heart he left the conservatory, now fully satisfied he had had enough of Mrs. Grey's ball. He took a gass of champagne in the supper room, where its quality was being freely discussed by the young men who lingered there, and went back to pay his parting respects to his hostess. There were still plenty of people about, but a chill seemed to have fallen on them, the dancers were few, and everybody looked bored or discontented. Mr3. Grey was saying the last words to a party of guests who were about taking their departure. "Such a pity it should have been a failure," he heard one of them whisper in a tone of sympathy. "And after all the expense you have gone to I" "I am sure, then, it must have been the fault of my guests," returned Mrs. Grey, ''for I did "my part as well as I could. Why, Mr. Turner, are you going so soon? I wonder il you, too, found my party a stupid one?" She looked so harassed that Dick' forgot the grudge he owed her, and would gladly have declared her ball both brilliant and delightful, but the words he wished to say stuck in his throat he absolutely could not give them utterance. An awful impulsa was upon him, and to his own secret horror and dismay he heard himself assuring her the painful truth that it was the most dismal anair be bad ever witnessea in ins life. Then, overwhelmed with shame at his own involuntary rudeness he .turned away, and his eyes fell upon the crimson roses still blooming freshly over the door way. What an idiot he must have been! There, in plain English letters, were the three words, "Palace of Truth." As he looked and read, the magic flute pealed forth so loudly, and with so thrill a triumph in its tone, that Dick fairly jumped, and in the violence of his start " kicked the sleeping Snip, who leaped out in his master's way and gazed at him with reproachful, wonder ing eyes. "Eleven o'clock, as I'm a living man," said Dick, yawning. "Three hours asleep, and no ball for me to-night. Snip, you lit tle villain, why didn t you awaken mer Snip was silent. He felt the arrant in justice of this remark, and bore it with the equanimity of a stoic. M Well, sa;d hia masler, slowly, as he lit the candle, "since you did not, and as I have bad all the dissipation and all tne candor l need for one night, I think, little dog, that you and I will go peaceably and gratefully to bed." During the Franco-Prussian War of 1S70 -71, a French Major taken prisoner, was approached by a Prussian General, who promised him anything he wished if he would betray the French plan oi cam paten. 'Any demand you may make," said the Prussian General, "will be acceded to." The Frenchman, although indignant.kept his temper and replied, "1 will do what you ask on one condition." 'And that is?" That you will give me your esteem after I have spoken." The General tried to tempt him no further.

SIGN OR MAX.

Why Women Are Entitled to be Pitied. Wo rue u AY ho Ate Always Moaning One Woman TV ho Always Radiates Happiness. In Detroit Free Press. For many reasons women are entitled to be pitied; but mainly (from ray point of view) because tboy are women. I do not say that tha abstract sexual fact is an especially pitiful thing, but I can not shui my eyes to the long procession of physical and social disorders which begins and ends in woman. Those peculiarities which she is forced to pay for being a woman and from which nature has forever exempted manneed not enter this inquiry. We all know what they are. But on the broad ground of human sympathy I regret that Creation's chemo had not been a little less onesided; and that the chief distinction of woman were not something else than suffering. The noble numbers of poets, the sublimated dreams of painters and the splendid conceits of sculptor with woman as the subject, and perhaps the inspiration, of their thoughts are well enough in their way. Sifted down I find that poet, painter and s-ulptor bave shrewdly utilized woman as a lay figure on which to best display their wares.. This may posssibly flatter her pride, but I have a notion that if she were to seriously think over it she misrht rebel airainst being thus deluded into service as an advertising medium, n nas been somewhat cruelly said that there is no sacrifice from which a woman will shrink to enhance her beauty. If that is true, the complacency with which she does duty as a lay hgure is explained. If it is not true, all this idealization of woman is valueless to her It remits none of her penalties; it does not emancipate her from her sex's slavery; it is not a compensation for an unfair dis tribution of physical ills. I mention this as an obvious fact, and merely by way of protest. Lest it excite alarm, I may add that I have no present intention to overturn the scheme. Woman's social infirmities are wholly sexual. By a kind of patron, izing sufferance she ocenpies the office of seeming authority in the social-domestic kiogdom; but I have observed that whenever great questions are in issue her sceptre is disregarded. It will do well nough as a toy, but when she holds it aloft as tne symbol of the command we good-naturedly laugh at her and march right on. When we have nothing weightier m hand we resume our appearanco ot obelient loyalty, and permit her to play the Queen so long as it suits our purpose. I am far from saving this in a boastful . . if a way. l can not even accuse myseii oi nippant feeling on. tne suoiect. it is a statement of fact which I think necessary to enable those who may be interested in it to ex actly apprehend my position. YY hue 1 am not "ambitious to pose as a plumed champion ot womankind, I nevertheless believe that in many respects the social statutes by which woman is bound are inequitable. I object to all laws of custom, or of fact, which declare that one-half of the humn race shall be humüiatingly dependent cn the other half. It does not feed any man's vanity to know that I represent in part the independent half. It would give me great satisfaction if the oak-and-vino plan of human government could be demolished. True, "the storm that rends the oak uproots the flower," but the flower inevitably dies under the touch of one September frost, while the cak may possibly outlive the blizzards of a century-. . .. . Under the present dispensation woman's irresponsibility is in proportion to her dependence. I "should-like to hold her to a larger practical responsibility; but how can I do that, and preserve the semblance of fairness and consistency, without a readjust. nient of the conditions? If anv such read justment is to be accomplished, we must first root out the delusive sentimentalism in which man has always cradled woman in a b1! of thornless roses. Its odor is enfeebling, and to it woman owes in great part her present helpless state. Give her a chance to breathe the bracing air ot equality, so tar a3 those inexorable laws of creation which were made exclusively for her will permit Insist that she exercise her faculties at the eost, if need be, of her complexion. Give her eve- y 'right" that man enjoys yea, even the right to discard French heels and the other woman's hair. I am ready and anxious to make these and many more concessions. She may take all my traditional privileges (though I do not know exactly what they are) if she will simply agree to share the partnership responsibilities. If it is equality she wants, she shall have it in all things; but she mus-t consent to go bo clothed that no white frost shall wither her. Privilege for privilege, right for right, responsibilitv for responsibility. That is mv pro posal. If you like the terms I am ready to siirn tbe contract. The unhappy and disturbing outgrowths of this condition of dependence, this lackadaisacal irresponsibility, are numerous. Some of them are comparatively harmless, but many of them result in more than the mere debilitation ot woman, xney are transmitted from generation to generation, and their effects become more and more vicious with each remove. We are much given to boasting of the elevated state of the Nineteenth Century woman ; but the hard fact is we have simply put on her a doll s dress, chalked and rouged' her face, be queathed to her an inheritance of chonic catarrh, robbed her of muscular develop ment, contracted her ribs, weakened her spinal column, rendered maternity a grievous burden, and finally set her tip in a glass case for show. This is why woman is to me an object of pity. This is the cause of the whimpering tone that runs like a minor strain through seven-tenths of the published letters of women. I have at band a journal the contributors to which are women, and most of whom live in rural homes. One would suppose that with Nature's earth under their feet, and the untainted country air in their lungs, they would sing songs of gladness; that their souls would leap with with exultation and their exchanges of thought glow with the animating and healthful impulses of their surroundings. Alas! it is not so. One Dines and mopes and moans over a frost-killed geranium. All her life is cold, and Oark and dreary. It rains (the usual way), and the uncompromising rain is never weary. She waits and weeps the livelong day for the dar hope that's fled away. She wails for "sympathy," and all the other women respond in a chorus of mixed misereres. Another, who," I dare say, relishes corned beef and cabbage, has just buried her canary, and she appeals to the Sympathie band for specimen epitaphs. The sisterhood set up a twittering treble, and we have an avalanche of gravestone literature. And so the sorrowing ones go on from number to number, until I have come to look upon their journal as a kind of typographical charnel-hjuse of bvoken hearts. I know a woman who never wears the weeds of woe. If I could photograph her in words I would do it most gladly, because the sunshine in her face would dissipate at once this ever thickening gloom. Her nature is a Pacific Ocean of cheerfulness. She has suffered wrongs and penury enough to have embittered the lives and broken the courage of a thousand ordinary women; but there is no trace of them in her face or mein. I have seen her in sorest poverty her house tireless in winter, her floors bare and her larder guiltless of a cold potato. Even then her hopefulness was undismayed, and in all

her desolation 1 have known her eye brighten at sight of friends, and heard her rippling

laugh in brave defiance or want that hedged her in but could not force her dauntless heart to yield. A nature so radiant is a law unto itself superior to disaster courageous in amiction, and ever givmg.atid receivir.2 some token of that happiness which cornea to fruit on every tree for all who choose to pluck It. This woman's presence is to those about her as the genial summer sun and rain to the quickening earth. She radiates h ip piness, and clotnes ner woman s natu e in garments that never fade even cloth ;of gold woven in the loom whose shuttle is Cheerful Heart. Colonel Solon and Judge Jinks Chat Pleas i antly of Their Early Experiences. tOil City Derrick. Colonel Solon and Judge Jinks met in eur sanctum yesterday and when they wr-re seated and the Judge had divided two tobies with the Colonel, they began to talk about the weather. ''There's some old fellers," said the Colonel, as he fixed up a broken part of his toby with a piece of paper and mucilage, "tome old fellers, as old as you or me, Jedge, who tell tne alb redest yarns 'bout cold wf ather when they were young. Regler first class samples of lies yer know, Jedge," "So they duz, Colonel, so they duz. lhey am t no more idee of t.uth than a yaller dog has of the mea-le3. Now I guess, Colonel, as how jou an' I've seen jest about as cold winters as anybody, but we never saw a winter so cold that the river froze so hard the people had to turn it b jttnm ciila iir m-ft thn Krttrm M thaur niit ''No, Jedge, we didn't, but do yer mind in '04. Thct was a winter as was cold. Talk 'bout cold contractin' iron and 6ich. Why. that year 'twas so cold that it jest drew tie twoendsofthe Petroleum Centre and Pit Hole Railroad right together and they j didn't get 'em straightt-ned out till next July. "l-a-a-3, I think I remember that,' said the Judge, eyeing the Colonel very suspiciously, and blowing a cloud of smoke upward. "Yes, I. remember it now, but the cold weather of '54 kinder knocked my recollections of any other cold winters all out of time. That was the winter that did contract things. John Jones, a neighbor of mine down East, was six foot tall, and he went out one day that w inier and the cold j"st contracted him up so he warn't more'n a foot and a-half high " 'Ver don't 6av so?" said the Colonel, moving uneasily in his chair. ''But tbat reminds nie o the winter of '53. Talk 'bout the contractin' qualities of cold; why, tnnt air winter jest drew the two ends ot January so close together that there weren't but two weeks in the whole month." Ye., I've heard of such things," saM the Judge slowly, "but the winter of '52, ahl that was a cold winter Acuooly, Colonel, actuooly, it was so cold that winter that it contracted a bill of a $100 a man had ogin me, to fifty cents." The painful silence was broken a"ter some moments by Colonel Slon savir.g: "Judge, do you know where a lstt'e li'qiid colli ba had? " -Colonel," said the Judge, "I do." "Judge," said the Colonel, ,4lead on." Athletics and stimulants So far as the opinion of the atlethic world goo, there seems to be a pretty general judgment against the use of alcohol and to bacco, even by tbe fully-grown men, and, of course, as regards growing youths, all the reasons for such abstinence acquire greatly enhanced force. ' A gentleman lm3 been at considerable trouble its eliciting information, and the results of his inquiries show that the majority of Queen's Prizi winners at Wimbledon, most of the leading oarsmen, including Trick ett and Ilanlan, and our crack shots, Mr. Partei lo and Dr. Carver, consider the less stimulants and narcotics a human beinu indulges in the better for his physical health. In some instances, thee witne.ses even own to a liking for the forbidden things, which, of course, tends to strengthen the veto against them. Thus, Private Rae, Queen's Prize winner in 1878, confesses that the indulges to the extent of two ounces of tobacco per week and "a glass sometimes," but he has nevertheless the courage to maintain that both forms of indulgence are reprehensible, and that he would be much better if he gave them up entirely. Of Mr. Partello, our wonderful American marksman, who made 24 points out of a possible 225 at long ranges, it is related that he has always been a total abstainer, and that he has now given up tobacco as well. Sergeant Okej', the champion shot of New Zealand, lately attributed his success to his having been a teetotaler all his life and his being a non smoker. Trickett and Ilanlan are quite of one mind about the inj iry inflicted on tha physical powers by the use of narcotics and stimulants. Our readers may remember the testimony of Captain Webb and others on the same subject a consensus of authoritative opinion that leaves no room for douot. SOCIETY DIRECTORY. masonic.
