MRS. HARRISON CAUSES A REVOLUTION' IX LIFE INSIIIAXCK. Tle Plain Women Women a Letter AVriters frre Ifeeds of AVome They Snrprlsrd the Doctor A. Sermon on Carpet A Married Worn, an'a nnie. No more successful insurance agent lives in San Francisco than Mrs. M. L. Harrison, who handles in that city the woman's department business of the Pacific states life company. She is the only woman in the country holding such a position. Some years ago, having through bereavement found herself thrown on her own resource, she turned her attention to the insurance business. She devoured vast quantities of literature on the attitude cf virioos companies toward women policy holders and found that In every Instance they were charged at the rate of $5 a thousand more than men were. This she regarded as rank injustice, and ehe sot about seeing if there was not come remedy for the state of affairs. She hunted up sta:lstics and consulted business men on the subject and finally evolved a plan to eliminate eex entirely from the proposition. She unfolded her plan to the president and direc;or3 of the Pacific states company and succeeded In convincing them that a plan she proposed was feasible. A special detainment was created for her, rooms were fitted up in the Sock Exchange building, find the new agent was given a corps of femala assistants. Mrs. Harrison has two large rooms fitted up in the Japanese style and receives her agents there. She Is a thoroughly capable business woman ami full of graceful tact. She has a great dfsk thit Ls bristling with papers and documents and pamphle:s and can enthuse her women agents as easily ai ehe can write a policy. She pays her 'agents the Famo rattvs as the men solicitors are iiit in the other departments, and from dependent to wealthy insurer all risi up and call her blessed. This lit le woman isn't the least bit in the world like one. id- of an ndvand creature of her sex. but Ls as dainty and lovely es a piece of Dresden china. She ha3 two young daughters. whm she U golng to train in:o being Insurance women. Before bringing the company's officials to her way of thinking she had a hard fight. On? of thf difficulties in the way of doing away with the $5 extra charge for women was the supposed unreliability of women in regard to telling their correct age, and in insurance a policy is liable to be forfeited if such a misstatement is discovered. Secondly. th claim was made that women w-re more liable to die young than men. And a third objection was that If a woman's life could be insured as cheaply as a man'.-? the companies ran a greater risk of her husband's putting her out of the way for the sake of the nioney Involved. All these objections were finally abandoned by the company's representative3, every one of whom is now ready to acknowledge that Mrs. Harrison's plan Is a good one. San Francisco Examiner. The Plain Womnn. Did you ever go to a "beauty lecture" and notice the audience? It is worth v.iulc. A congregation of homlier women c nil not be found in or outride of the city iim'ts. A man once said to me that It was only pretty women who used cosmetics and "makeups." The homely w .m-i, he argued, knew that they to.ildu't be pretty anyway and went t:n-:r ways contently, never trying to compass the impossible, but the p-etty women kept right on trying to be prettier. Poor mon! He had never been to a beauty lecture. He had not seen the row upon row of plain faces seamed with wrinkles and irradiated by the light of a irrent hiin If h-fl rpvur witr.hrl tv.-v ! eager look in pale, dim eyes as they followed the speaker nor seen their hands working unconsciously in a sympathetic massage. If he had. he would have known that the elderly woman, the illfavored ones) and the passe cr.nvd the hc;i at a "beauty matinee." They are 'avrrmhle yes, for a young and a lovely f -( i-; as rare among them as snow in Jan-, and they are terribly in earnest, bur they are frighful withal. Women are largely what men have mad-? them, and physical beauty has come to man love, devotion, a home, power everything for which a woman most longs. To be pl.vn means to be a wallflower at tall-, a nobody in the social world and a wer.k to- even in the home. So the story cf thes faded, anxious faces runs. It is not a pleasant story to read, but the truth is s.-idom pleasant. It is grimly true, by it explains many things. Why women will suffer pain, temporary disfigurement, and even face death for beauty's sake becomes no longer a marvel. A new thing? No. With a vision of , seamed foreheads, snub noses, unlovely :.contours, scanty locks and ill complexIon?, as seen at a beauty matinee, there come recollection of the milk baths of the Romans, the henna and kohl of the orient and the still more strenuous remedy of Elizabeth Bathory, Comtesse Nadasdy, who lived in Hungary in the sixteenth century. Jeannette H. Walworth. "Women as Letter Writers. "Would you desire at this day," says De Quinery, "to read our noble language in fts native beauty, picturesque from idiomatic propriety, racy in its phraseology-, delicate yet sinewy in its composition, steal the mailbags and break open all the letters in female handwriting." Nor is De Quincey alone In his opinion. It Ls generally admitted that women write more Interesting letters than men, the chief reason of which is probably their closer observation of details, these 'being the one thing needful In ordinary correspondence. Philosophy and logic are entirely unimportant, if not actually out of place, and so are method, order and combination, according to rule. De Quincey himself attributea the superiority of women Setter-writers to the fact that they are more openly emotional and excitable. "There is not in the world," he says, "so certain a guarantee for pure idiomatic diction without trick or affectation as a case of genuine excitement. Real situations are always pledges of a real natural language. It is in counterfeit paseion. in the mimical situations of novels or In poem j that are efforts of ingenuity" that women fail. Of course, both men and womer are influenced 'by current fashion in letter-writing, and in this, as in other details, the latter are not unfairly supTo.sed to be more under the control of convention. Letter-writing changes its mode ä3 decidedly. If not as often, as the gwns of the letter-writers. The "epistolary correspondence" of a past day or generation, with it3 elaborate and sounding phrases, -sometimes Inflated to an absurd degree, has happily "gone out." ar.i a racy colloquial ftyle has to a great extent superseded it. A letter to be well written and entertaining, which is one of its legitimate functions, must le direct, graphic, simple, avoid overelaiboration and teer wide of any approach to an Inflated style. Illaelc Slllc Seraps. Never throw away a scrap of black Bilk. An Inch strip of black silk ls a boon sometimes. After ripping up the old gown take thrzy or four old kid gloves and put them to boil In a pint of water. Let them boil for an hour, strain through a cloth and put ir the liquid a quart or morfi of hot water and a tabJespoonful of l-orax. Lay your silk flat on a perfectly clean table that has no seams or tracks In it and rub every inch of the silk with the r.i'x.ure till it is thoroughly saturated and a 1 .pjts ar? removed. Then fix a tub of warm water. In which put a liberal quantity of ,bcxajc and pick the: silk up by the

corners and dip it up and dowrn In the tub of water. Dip and dip till it Ls well rinsed, then take it out to the line, where you have pinned a loag strip of cloth about a foot wide. To the edge of this cloth, pin the silk by the extreme edge, stretching it so that it is not wrinkle! and doest not droop. Let it drip dry, and it will need na ironing. Do this on a bright d3 when there Is no wind. Black ribbon may bo cleaned the same day. Nerve Heed of Women. Dr. Louise Fiske Bryson, who has made a study of the nerve needs of women, thus advises her sex concerning. rest: 0:i? reason, she says ir the Christian-Advocate, why women get too tired is that the memory is overtaxed with trill s. There are too many thing.- to remember. An effort is made to tarry in the mind all manner of small necessities, engagements, measures, petty duties arid details that it is always better to h.m.l over tpencil and paper, to a mcmorarvium book or Journal. Thi3 can be called upon at all hours. A diary less titan four inclie3 loi!g and two and one-half inches wide is one cf the best fo the purpose. There is a page for every day in the year pages f,,r memoranda, where can be recorded such facts as the amount of goods needed for any garment or for trimming, the sizes of gloves, stockings nnd shoes, the number of the bankbook, bicycle, etc., and for addresses, which are always wanted for ready reference. An errand or engagement for a certain day is put down, with

mmmmm WW til I fi vvvuM ' 1

the address, on the page where It belong?. When the errand is done, the engagement kept, a line is drawn through the memorandum. At night this artificial memory Is reviewed. Anything forgotten is transftrred to the next page and marked off on the original pafres by little crosses instead of straight lines. Thus nothing is left unthought of. and the work of each day is roughly blocked out in ndvnc Ik'.msh unnecessary self control and sAi denial. A Sermon on Carpets. In buying carpets of any or all kinds the housewife will be better pleaded if she buys those of small designs, either arabesque or conventionalized floral, and which largely cover the grourtd flir, both as a background to furniture, old and new, and as a rest to the eye. Carpets so chosen will not become monotonous and will readily adapt themselves to changes from one room to another. Dark carpets axe seldom satisfactory, as they are too m.ber and s-how dust badly. They are only sultate for rooms of many windows. Light carpets soil easily and add to the glare of very light room.?, while those of medium tone are bet adapted Jo wear and to the cheerful furnishing of usual rooms. Ingrain, ' tapestry, oody brussels and all grades of velvet have "bordering woven to match. This ls priced by the yard, according to its width, which may be from nine to twenty-two and one-half Inches. .Squire or large rooms look more thoroughly finished if the carpet has a border, while in long, narrow rooms a twrder unpleasantly defines the lack of width. Carpets without borders make over better, and In rented hous?3 it is undoubtedly better management to have borderless carpets in all rooms. Decorator and Furnisher. They Surprised the Doctor. "A physician nowadays," remarked one of them recently, "has to keep up with the times, whether he will or not. Hisi women patients are his chief goads in the matter. The mother of a family of children is a person for whose medical knowledge I have profound respect. I meet them every day among my patients who would surprise me, if I were not used to it, by their technical intelligence in my profession. Newspapers, particularly the women's pages, are, I think, largely responsible for this relief of ignorance of essential points in sanitation, and women must have a natural taste for the subject, because they grasp it so intelligently. "One day I was asked to talk to a club of women on a semi-professional topic, and I carefully thought out my address, to couch It in the most easily understood language. When I sat down, a woman got up and opened the discussion in a very technical and professional way, and every woman who followed her spoke so Intelligently on the subject In hand that I asked my Introducer, in some surprise, if the club waa made up of women physicians. 'Why,' she replied promptly, 'there isn't a doctor in the whole membership.' Their grasp of the matter, for laity, was really remarkable." Her Point of View In N. Y. Times. Lady Chnrchlll's Deeoration. There are certain women of the world who capture public attention to that degree that everything they do is promptly chronicled. Lady Randolph Churchill Ls one of them. When returning home from India with Lord Randolph, sho noticed a British soldier tattooing a deckhand. It dispelled tho ennui that had seixed upon her as an incident of ship life, and from watching the operation from her - deck chair she concluded to try it herself. She had th artist brought before her and asked him for soma designs. He suggested the Talmudic symbol of eternity a snake holding Its tail in its mouth. Lady Rando.ph was charmed ana bared her arm for the operation. Lord Randolph swore and protested. But the tattooing waa done o it is said, at least and It is I described as a beautifully executed snake, dark blue In color, with green eyes and red Jawa. Aj a general thing, it u hiddea 1

from tha vulgar gaze by a broad gtli ; bracelet, but hrr personal friends are 'j

privileged to see it and hear the story of the "tattooing. X. Y. Mail and Express. A Convenient Arrangement. Wide, movable seats of rattan of differing lengths and without a back are sold as window seats. They are used In the natural color, or stained or enameled to match the room. They are used either with or without a loose cushion and have a valance or not, as one chooses. The seats of rattan chairs, when worn to shabbiness. may have wide, heavy tapes like oilcloth binding fastened across them and drawn as tight as possible, so that the scat will not sag. Over this foundation tack a piece of unbleached muslin; then put on a layer of cotton or hair, not enough to give the seat a fat, cushiony effect, and over that fasten a cretonr covering with small nails and finish the edge with a cotton gimp. A loose, flat cushion Ls sometimes liked better for covering the worn seat. When the cretonne is soiled, clean with naphtha or take it off and wash it. X. Y. Post. l'e for Plated Ware Hellen. Women who think that old plated ware relics arc valueless make a great blunder. The old designs are copies of those in o!d silver and h-ave a distinctive beauty cn that account. If you have a cake basket or tray, see if it Ls plated on copper, a. fact which insures its considerable age, as it i3 many years since that process was in ue. If the red shows through in the worn places, you may be certain preserving i:s beauty are open to you. One is; to hive it replitevl, but more unique and more often d.-r.e by those who like unu-5u.il things is to take it to the silversmith versed in treating antiquities t have i'.n acid applied which removes all the silver veneer. Then the copper i beautifully burnis'.vd. anil ynr sideb.ird has a. valuable addition. Snuffer tre.y.s c.rA snuffers arj of.en treated in this way. Convenient Wall Pockets. Convenient wall pockets can be quickly and easily made from the boxes that oatmeal, rolled wheat and such things come in, using the two-pjund size. Cut out the front and sides to suit, leaving the back as it is. Cover with cloth, paper or velvet, according to their usv, and fasten to the wall. In the kitchen or dining room they are handy to hold dusters, stove holders, etc. In the library they are nice for clippings, extra envelopes, special letters or other things, while in bed rooms they can be used for many purposes. The Ho:i'imi kor. One of the secrets of being able to have cr.eV plans frustrated witho.it serious inconvenience i in being forehanded. Never al'.rv.r work to accumulate if it is possible to do it. Keep everything in such ord?r that a little neglect will net shw. Occupy spire momerets of the day.-? that are not very busy ones in doing work a little ahe.nl of time when it is actually needed. Then one wiM be the mistress and not the slave of her housework, and the true work of the rrmemiker will be accomplished. Dcmnrc-st's-Magazine. An Ingenious Orniimcnt. "Even a cracked wall may have its advantages," explained an ingenious woman whle little drawing room, in which there was much green end white, had a wall over which there trailed many yards of Hartford fern with an effect that was truly artistic. "I couldn't afford to fill of an antique design, and two ways of up those cracks and paper the wall, and it occurred to me that thoe pressed ferns following the lines of the cracks would be the very thing." Little Milto mid the Clock. Little Milton, aged four, inquired what time his grandma would get there. HÜ3 mamma Old him at C o'clock. "Well, where will the hand.-? of the clock be then?" he asked. His mimnn iinted out the respective positions of the hands ta indicate the sixth hour. Some time after the mother chanced to 1-3 ok at the clock and wis surprised ta find it all wrong. Remembering her conversation with e.lilten the Wise, she called him and Inquired what had happened to the click. "Why, mamma." explained the boy, clapping his hands, and his eye3 dancing with expectation, "I just run the hands around, so grandma would come right straight off." The same bright boy tells time in an entirely original way. He l?oks carefully at the clock and stretches out hi3 little arm In the exact position of the hand3. He will go to his mamma and say, "the little hand Is here and the big hand is there." And so accurate is he in imitating that one can tell tho time to a very few minutes. Newark Call. A Ghost Census. Hare you ever seen a ghost? Such, In simple words. Is the extremely imeres;ing question addressed by the English society of psychical rerearch to some 17,000 persons, male and female. The results are included in "A Report on the Censua of Hallucinations." published in the latest edition of the proceedings of the society. Out of the 17,000 persons intcTrogateVl, 15,316 answered in the negative, leaving only a meager 9 per cent, of the people who had been favored by extraordinary experiences. But the relative proportion of men and w.jmen who saw visions and dreamed dreams is sttill more remarkable. Only 6."3 males answered in the afiinraUve, but us many & 1,023 females.

SHE SAVED GRANT'S LIFE

LIZZIC DRYAX, THE (iEXERAL'S FE MALE SPY,' IX AX ALMSHOUSE. Eke Sacrificed Home and Forane for the Inlan Cattne, AVn Wouadril Thrlre and Thrown Into Prison, and on a. Memorable Occasion Saved the Life; of Gen. Grant, nn Art Which Was Recognised by the General, Who Sent Her n Goll Watch Iii Token of Ills Gratitude. Lizzie Bryan, distinguished by her kindly face and the nlert and intelligent eye that lit it up, 13 today an Inmate of the county almshouse, says the San Francisco Call. Not so many ears ago this Fame Lizzie Bryan owned a gold watch that was given to her by Gen. Grant for having saved his life; Lizzie Bryan has still three J scars received in battle for the union; Lizzie Bryan was a spy and was accustomed to rlda from command to command through the thickest of many fights carrying dispatches: Lizzie Bryan was captured and was in Libby prison. i Lizzie Bryan is a won!-:- cf gentleness, charity and. cheerfulness, i,ut she lanPs a dagger, her last souvenir of the war an! which she u-cs as a brend-knife, and sh? chews tobacco :ir,d regrets her ace and her lime leg that she cannot dance a jig wi.h even the faulty skill in which the still . sin'-1 a ribald song.

Lizzie' has a daughter who is a song and dance artist and "the very best daughter in the world," who never allowed her mother to want until some months ago, when she went blind. Stfepeti in misfortune for, added to all that has been told, ?h? is atone deaf sick aad friendleM, it is still' something like listening to music to hear thin old lady talk, so entirely . kudly, charitable and sincere is she. tslllng the most remarkable bits of her strange history with tho simp'c matter-of-fact of a. child. She nover learned to write, but her sweet, low voice keep.s steadily in the middle of the road of good English and does not offend it even with slang. Llzzte Bryan's Stranpe Career. A stranger life story is not often writtea. She began it at Rochester, N. Y.. as an heiress -with $18,000 to her credit when sho should becomp of aga. but, left an orphan, at ten, her twelve brothers and sisters, to busy spending their own fortunes to look after her, bound her out to a farm and shs was there put ta work like a servant. With referenco to these sisters and brothers arurt this) shabby treatment she spoke the only resentful words in her narrative. "I have never seen any of them since." she said, "and I don't want to. If, of all my brothers and sisters, not one could find time to 'take care of such a little girl, then I have no love for them. Still, it was a goods beginning, for I can 'cook, bake or brew' as the result of it." At eighteen year3 of age she came Into her fortune, which, through the manipulations of the attorney who had charge, proved to ibe only $3,500. With this she went to New York, joined some friends and left the old drudging life behind. She was back at Rochester shortly before the war broke out, and at a time when Dan Rice's circus was ju?t beginning it3 career of periodically going to pieces, and she bought two trick horses, Starface and Rudolph, and when she enlisted at New York City to go to the front as a nursa she took 'Starface with her. She only remained in the hospital department for a few months after the real bloody business of war 'begun, for the people who had charge of it saw in her a quality of mettle that could 'be put to better uses. But the hospitals misssd her, she said, for she was gentler than the average nurse, and when they twisted the bandages recklessly ' she wound them about tenderly, and she had a ,way of (buying some - deCicac-Ies for peculiar sufferere. and oft stealing other delicacies that she could not buy. And so when she bade them good-by many of them joined their tear9 with hers. She left the hospitals not by order, but request, but freely placed herself under orders in the fighting contingent, and from that hour she was a freebooter. She put off her woman's dress and wore boot3 and spurs "and a little sword" at her side. They wanted her to act as orderly and carry dispatches, and this she did till the close of the war. "I was wounded three times," she said, "but at no time seriously. I never had to go to the hospital, but bandaged the wound3 myself and was dancing jigs at headquarters or at some racket out of camp before they had healed. I wore a false sole .n my boot and In it carried the dispatches. I have often carried dispatches during an action, riding across or around the lines, as the case might be, with bullets flying all around me. I waa

wounded slightly several times, as I say, but, of course, the bullets were not meant for me." she added charitably. "Kor a long time I was attached to Gen. Grant's headquarters and saw a great deal of him. He was not a difficult maji to approach and was always very kind. I have, talked to him often and more than once amused him with my dancing. I was accustomed to go about the camp pretty much a3 I pleased day or night. One night, unable to sleep. I was rambling about and heard voices in a clump of tree and thought I recognized that of Gen. Grant. I crept nearer to hear what was going on and found that he was. having some sort of controversy. I managed to get quite close to them. Grant was talking in hi3 quiet, firm way, but the other seemed more excited, although he, too, was speaking low. Suddenly he made a peculiar movement back of OJrant, lifting his hand, and involuntarily, scarcely knowing what caused me to do it, 1 sprang forward and struck the man's hand. It had a revolver in it. He did not run snd disclaimed any intent to use it. Rut six months afterward, when I had forgotten all about the incident, or thought of it only to be ashamed of it, I received a beautiful little gold watch from the hand of Gen. Grant himself, he telling me at the same time that he believed I had saved his life. I never knew anything more about the affair than that; never learned who the man was or what became of him or why Grant suspected him more afterward than he did that nignt if that is true. "But the greatest personal lrss I suffered in the army was my beautiful horse Starface. How I did love that horse. He would do anything I told him. He seemed to have human intelligence. I had a whistle and he would come and go at its signal, and kneel down before me, lick my face, follow me like a dog or stard and wait where I might tell him to for hours and despite anybody else's interference. He was shot down under me at Antietam. I cried for weeks afterward for my poor Starface. Was Taken to I.Ibby Prison. "Yes, I was captured once and spent a few days in Libby jrison. I was traveling on fo"t and carrying some dispatches in my boot, when a Johnny laid his hand on my shoulder and said I was his prisoner. I protested, but be took me along. He conld see I was not a man, atho'ih I wore a man's clothes. He took me a long way and before some rebel headquarters, and I was sent along to Libby. They searched me, of course, very carefully, but found nothing, as I had taken an opportunity which even the first soldier aeeorded me because, I suppose, of my sex, to get at and eat the dispatches. Hut they treated me very well at Libby. and the arresting soldier got small credit for his work. They said they Were not looking f. r women they were after men. They did not tell me to go, but gave me to understand that they were not watching me very closely. So I went and was not disturbed. I always make friends, it seems, or did then, at least, wherever I went. I do now, indeed. Rut 1 hid inado a favorable im-pre:-sl;:i o'i -ojme of the Johnnies and wh-ii I wan 1 rd into Georgia, as I did for a time after that, a colonel followed and made love to me and wanted me to marry him. I knew I could talk freely to him and T did. I told him that I hid c me down South to ;!ght. not to marry, but that after toe war was over, if lie was of the same mind. I'd consider the matter. "His name? Oh. :t wouldn't be fair to give nimos in r-.ch a manr.tr." laughed this little eld piup.-r Woman. "How did you fare r i:geiirvr it in

camp; rb i qtu?ti n :?ir.g j;ir.i?.1 in laree lettere. for the benelit of her dim eyes and becau? h-:-r ears were useless. "Oh. -v?ryb Ay treated me kindly, and I really had I ts of fun, dancing and singieirr every night Pi the camp and out of it. After the war I sold Rudolph, my other horse, who hod nee-n kept in a stable a".! the time in New York, getting for him Sl.O'OO j f-en s- out f,-,r California, rur.:l the Horo. in the Ocean Queen on the Atlantic and 'the Sacrament) on this side. I arrived on the "oith -f June and put up at Stelnm.'.n's h it-!, which was on Vitien t.. I think. I made friends, who to ok me to live vtr at North Ueach. and there I became acquainted with WüImiu H orton, a nan as hands inie as a picture, iincly educated ard well-to-do. 11? had studied to be a. d ictor and travi-'.-d in Eur.-p?, studying in the colleges there. He was r.o a fine engraver, lie did not like the doctor's, profession -because i: was too cruel, and h turned his talent for engraving to account in making counterfeit coin. "Of course I di 1 n learn this -until after we were r:ii:r;ed. which took place s?'Vri after we became acquainted, but I often watched hini at this trade. He had some sort of comp sition of just the right weight, did the milling perfectly, and the coin pitied current riftht along. He was nver discovered. He had a faro game, where he worked off the coin every night. A.s I say, he was well to do and we traveled. We went to Europe and visited my parents' relatives in Ireland and thence to the continent. We came back anJ went up to Portland and it was while there that my trunk was broken into and, with, many other things, the watch was. stolen that I valued so much -.as coming from Gen. Grant. "My husband was injured in a railroad accident and died from iu fffe.-ts. Some? years afterward I v.a married to Edwin Holt Bryan, who was attuhrl to the Bush-st. theater. Kveryb iy knew Eddy liryau in his lifetime. He was always kind t") me, but nothing could keep him from drink and gambling, aail he squandered a'.l the moivy I had saved. I had plenty of money in bank when I married him. but the last I had was srnt upon hLs funeral. He broke his l5g white drunl art one occassir.n and they gave him a benefit at tho theater. When he got well he spent all the money they gave him treating the boys whe had performed at the benefit. When I iook to my, bed to give birth to oar daughter I gave him a check for $500 for tha expenses and he. never came back" till the money was spent. But he was always kind to me. He died as the result of his habits at the city and county hospital, and his funeral was a long one, with a wagon full of flowers. "I am a worker and had no trouble in taking care of myself and my child, and would not even now If I could hear. I caught cold traveling with my child from Virginli City, keepinr my head close to the window to protect her. I have tic ced with all kinds of doctors, but without avail. I am deaf as a post these later years. How could I tell titat all this was to come upon me in my age sickness, deafness and poverty? I traveled, married and was careless, and as a result I lost my papers. I have nothing to prove anything. Otherwise I might have a p-n-ion. Going in Sorrow to the Grave. "My daughter has been a good daughter. Like me, she early learned to dance, and in helping out a kindergarten entertainment a theatrical manager saw and pronounced her born for the stage. She married a song and dance man named Milton Valentine Peck. Her original stage name was Mamie Woods, but she now appears with him under the name of the 'Two Pecks.' "But she took a cold and has gone almost blind. All her husband can earn goes to the doctor. She wrote me a short time ago that she would not allow me to want while she had a dollar, but that she had none. And I know it is true. They are in Salt Lake City now. "I w;3 living in a little room on Pinest., corner of Grant-ave., keeping house. My daughter sent me $3 and sometimes JS a week. When it did not come I fell behind in the rent and had very little to eat. At last I was reduced to extremities. I pawned my wedding ring for 25 cents and the interest makes it now 40 cent3. Then I could do nothing else and I had to come here. Oh, .If I had only my hearing it would not have come to this. Everybody in the house was crying when I came away. The little children all kissed me good-by, for they came and kissed me every day, just as my daughter always did when she was a child and at home. "All the neighbors loved me. for I was always kind to them and ready to share my last bit. I often went with little extras that I had to the poor people at the

hosp'ial. I have done good wherever I could from he time I stole chickens for the poor boys in the army hospital to the last day I had a i '.cher of milk to share with my neighbor on Pine-st. God bless us. but I must make the best of it, I suppose." The woman'? husband's sister, by the way, ls the wife of Frank Mayo, and a distant relative was Judge Patterson of the Alleghany county bench in Pennsylvania. So Lizzie Bryan, after her battles and sacrifices, with wounds that "do not pain, but keep her limbs twitching with ränge, nervous action" and which were got fighting like a man for the union at a time when she had money enough to live in luxury, has gone to tho poor house. WINTER FASHIONS.

Ilrocndes, Velvets and Costly Furs AVIll lie In Voffoe. Extremely rich materials are to be no less fashionable this winter than they were last. Rrocades and velvets of ancient fashion in exquisite combinations are shown and magnificent antique laces. mousFeline de soie and orienial gauzes !r. rainbow tints are used to soften the eifect of these splendors, while the new passementeries harmonize in color and value. Gold appears in many of them, in combination with color, or the patterns' tro worked upon the gown fabric itself, with applications of guipure or old point. Dlack passementerie Is no less rich and is to be much used upon winter wraps. Jet is still favored by the authorities, real jet being very expensive and giving, it is considered, the last touch of refined fashion to a garment on which it apr. rr. j.: -.v 'iir- 'vfv.. W ft VISITING TOILET. pears. White jet is agiin seen, being employed on evening gowns as the em-broid-ry of flounces and fichus and sewed upon lace and gauze. It is also used on wedding gowns. All costly furs are to be worn this winter, both the rhort and long pile varieties. They will appear on gowns a? weli as wraps, and cape? and jackets entirely of fur will be fashionable. It is throwing money away to buy cheap fur, for it becomes shabby at once, and fashions change so rapidly that only very wealthy persons tan afford to indulge in expensive furs. Therefore a fur reason is rather awkward for the woman of moderate means- who wishes to keep abreast of the mode. Ulack accordion plaited moussellne de soie is the favorite girniture of th- season. It veils entire bodices of black or cnlored silk and is used in a variety cf way 3 with jet, lace and ribbon, to form adjustable accessories that may be worn with any gown. A sketch is given of a visiting toilet. The plo.iii skirt is of heliotrope crepon. while the corsage is of velvet a shade darker. The bodice parts over a full vest of heliotrope surah and has small revers embroidered with silver. Heliotrope moire ribbons come from the underarm seams' and fasten in a bow over the bosom, and silver buttons ornament each side of the bodice. The short, bouffant sleeves are gathered into a band of galloon and finished with a moire knot. JUD1C CIIOLLET. A r.it of "Illeak Hounc.'' I"!y thf demolition of some old houses In Oatherine-st.. Strand, and in Drury-lane, what may be retarded as a classic spot Iiis been exposed to view. This is the old churchyard which Charles Dickens graphically ''scribe 1 in "iJlt-ak House," and which is approached by a narrow passage leading irom Ku--seU court. The churchyard on the left hand side of Drury-lane- higher up. has frequently been talked of a3 'Joe's churchyard." but the miserable burial ground which received the remains of poor "Nemo" is that on which sunlight is now allowed to shine through the clearing away of the rookeries which previously hemmed it in on eat and west. At the end of Russell court passage the gates with Its iron bars, through which "Joe" pointed out to "Lady redlck" the grave of his benefactor, still hviga en Its rusty hinges, although the graveyard itself .ha been asphalted over . and turned Into a playground. Some thousands of the admirers of Dickens's works, including a large number of Americans, have visited the spot within the last few weeks. Westminster Review. Ä MOTHER'S DUTY TOWARDS IlEIi DAUGHTERS Suggestions Which May Help to AtoM Many Daubers. SrECIAL TO Om LADT EEAPE2S. Less than twenty years ago even the medical profession scouted the idea that young girls could suffer from the misery of uterus troubles. That form of disease, it was claiined,eame only to inarneu women. When Lydia E. Pinkham first sent out the news of ier great discovery, there was no lack of harsh speech from those whose practice and opinions she set at defiance. Jlut when young girls by the hundreds were absolutely cued by Lydia K Pinkhaul's Vegetable Compound, then tho tongues of the traducers were stilled, and faith, was allowed to live in the hearts of the people. Young girls are subject to this trouble. It robs them of the buoyancy of youth. It makes all effort distasteful. It causes retention and suppression oi menses, ieucorrhca, severe headache, waxy complexion, depression, weakness, loss of appetite and interest. This being the condition of your daugh ter, what is your duty, loving mother? Certainly you ought to know that these are all symptoms of the one cause of nearly all the suffering that conies to women; and to save your daughter you ought to begin that treatment at once, which for 20 years proved its power throughout the world. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con pound is the surest nd most natural remedy for women ever compounded. It will accomplish its vorli rith certainty.
