Yonng Magdalene, whose erring feet hare 'weakly Kcnie astray, I see your terror stricken eyes gaze dowi the future's tract: Oome near to mc and listen well, for I have this to say—

The path lwbind you is not closed If you womu journey back. The world's bar3h voice I know has said you must abandon hops—

The worll's harsh hands would thrust you down in jungles dark with night The coarse world lies! If you are brave I tell you you can grope

Your way back over burning sands to virtue's fluids of light.

You may not enter any church nor try to learn a creed. You may not gossip of your sins for curious crowdn to iiear. Resolve. an:l not profession or confession loud you need—

Resolve, and silent praying to the angel forces near.

For round about each tempted soul good spirits always hover, To lead it up to better paths if It shall cry for aid They listen to its faintest cry and answer as the lover

Responds and answers to the wish of some well worshiped maid.

The same temptations come to you as to your brother man YOU must |ay wenty times the price when yon are weal: and fall But you can riss! Bo brave of soul, and if you will, you cai^

Look up to where God's angels are and they shall hear you calL

The way Is harder to your feet, but you can climb, as men Climb every day from error up to truer walksof life No swift repentance can avail to make you white again—

You must attain to purer heights by patience, prayer and Btrife.

1 tire of all this foolish cant the world has preached so longThat erring woman must lose hope if once she strays apart. Why, men, reform! and God has said there Is no sex to wrong—

So Magdalene, cast off your sins! arise and Lake new heart! ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

WONDERFUL MEDICAL DISCOVERIES.

ltubber Turning to Anlinul Tissue—Resection of I*arge Joints. The medical journals for the last ten ycare havo given accounts of wonderful discoveries in surgical scicnce and of their application in practice—the filling up of large, deep wounds with sponge, and the organization and assimilation of tho latter Bkin grafting, bono grafting, and the successful adjustment and rogrowth of Angers. Ilccently two other wonderful discoveries havo boon reported. Ono is tho organization of rubber within tho animal tissues the other, tho organizing of bloocl clots, their formation into now tissuo, and the application of them to the surer and better healing of surgical wounds.

As to tho llrst, it appears that Professor Vnnlair, of France, hail, in a certain case, inserted a drainage tubo, of ordinary gray vulcanizcd rubber, ono and ono-fourth inches in length and ono-fifth in diameter, and that this, at the end of seven months, seemed to have undergone partial absorption.

But on examining it with a microscope, it was found that tho substance of the rubber had become truly organized that tho lower end of the tubo had become fully assimilated to tho surrounding tissue, and had wholly lost its original form that the part of tho tubo next above this had lost its original shapeless appearance and had acquired a complex structure, showing fine connecting tissuo fibers, with cells of various forms between them, and very numerous capillary blood vessels. 8nys tho Medical Record: "That^ India rubber can thus become organized is the moro remnrkablo when wo consider that it is pure vegetable exudation, devoid of all structure, «uul seemingly more calculated to act as a foreign body and to prevent the union of wounded surfaces than to undergo organisation and to become thus an integral part of tho animal tissues."

Tho other discovery was by Schede, a German expert. Tho Boston Medical and Surgical Journal says: "llis roported results arc almost marvelous tho blood fills tho wound cavity completely, clots and ia gradually replaced by permanent tissue formation, By this method resection (amputation) of largo joints, hns healed by primary union, and largo portions of tho articular ends of bone have leen removed without impairment of their articular function. Two hundred and forty-one operations are recorded by Schede, nearly all of which have healed under ono dressing by primary union."

These operations included the amputation of forty large joints, with thirty-seven recovering, with no chango of dressing, and no leakage. Tho wound having been duly prepared, the blood is let in and left to organize, tho whole being covered with protective silk and other dressing.—Youth's Co npanion.

Woman ltpltnble Employe. A Philadelphia proprietor of a large establisluucnt employs a woman as head bookkeeper. On being asked recently if the reason was because sho would work ehcapcr than a nmnt he replied: ''No, we pay her as much as we would a man, and sho is much moro reliable and her work is much better done. When it comes 11 o'clock she does not get a drink, as some bookkeepers have to do she never comes to the office wont out by an all-night's spree and jumbles tip the business of the day. This is why I prefer a lady."—Chicago Times.

Danger In Nrw Houses.

New houses aro liable to be damp from tho evaporation from tho plaster ami mortar, which contains a large amount of water. A Spanish proverb says of now houses: "Tito first year for your enemies, the second year for your friends, and the third you may live there yourselves." This tells tho whole story. Again, cellar air is apt to be unwholesome and this is another reason why basement rooms ore bad. It is very unwiso to store vegetables in cellars utftll they decay.—Brooklyn Eagle.

APPE/RANCES TO HIRE. WHAT HANDS REVEAL

CATERERS WHO FURNISH MORE THAN THE FOOD AT A FEAST.

ft

Methods of Ministering to People who Itch for Social Distinction—Customers Divided into Three Classes—Cost of a

Probably one of the buJcst and at the same time least ostentatious tradesmen of this city is ho whose business it is to minister to tho large class of people afflicted with an itch for social distinction. The business of furnishing appearances for the public has sprung into ono of considerable magnitude during the past few years. Prominent among this class of tradesmen is the house furnisher. On the front door of a three story brick house on a cross street, near Fifth avenue, is a large silver plato bearing a name which for divers reasons will be called "William Brown, caterer." A reporter recently called and asked for Mr. Brown. "Mr. Brown has just gone to Dr. Blank's and will return shortly. Won't you step in and wait?" responded a portly woman in a white wrapper.

Tho reporter was shown into a waiting room or office in the rear of the hall. The walls were ablaze with oil paintings, hung one above tho other and side by side, as in an auction store. In a black walnut cabinet, which occupied tho entire sido of tho room, v/a3 a largo variety of silver and plaLcd service, water urns, cake baskets and receivers and flower vases. r. "Is your husband very busy at this season?" asked the scribe. "Very busy indeed. He has to arrange for several parties to-day and to-morrow, and ho has orders on his books for several weeks to come."

This answer was hardly given -vheh the proprietor entered—a tall, slender man, about 40 years of age—with hurried steps. In a few words the object of the interview was stated, and Mr. Brown, seating himself on an easy lounge said:

FURNISHING MORE THAN FOOD. "I have been a caterer for a good many, years, but it was not until a few years ago that I was compelled to furnish so many things that are foreign to my business. It would surprise the public to know to what an extent this is carried on, not only by tho seemingly wealthy people, but by families who at one time rated among the highest in tho city, who, like everybody else, have felt the depression of business and are no longer able to entertain as formerly. As business increases great demands are made upon us to furnish interior decorations, un*il I really believe I shall bo asked next to furnish a house and lot. Tho once rich families who entertained enormously are too proud to acquaint the outside world with the actual state of their affairs, and through the artifice of our assistance seemingly retain their former standing. On the other hand, we havo tho relics of ancestral prosperity, who themselves have never had wealth, but endeavor to mislead their rich neighbors with tho idea of apparent affluence."

Taking a memorandum book from his pocket, Mr. Brown said: "You see here, I havo threo parties for to-night. This last ono is on Forty-second street, where I will furnish carpets for three rooms on tho second floor. Come with mo upstairs and I will select them and show you the different articles which I am compelled to keep and you can make your own observations."

In a back room from a line stretched along the side of tho room hung some twenty or more carpets of different sizes and patterns. On the other sido of the room stood a grand and squaro piano, while from the ceiling hung many handsome chandeliers of various sizes. "Do you often furnish chandeliers!" "Well, no, not very often. Probably three or four times a year, but I must have them on hand. We havo a regular system of carrying on our business. When a party is to be given, and it does not take place among persons of assured social position, the givers come to mo, for they have not the appliances, and very often not the furniture for" a party. Even Delmonico, when catering for an outside party, has frequently to furnish theso decorations, and keeps a little stock of furniture and decorations on hand. You see, the first thing I find out is the size of tho party and how many plates will be required. Then comes the paraphernalia. I make out a list of tho number of chairs that are wanted, tablecloths, napkins, knives and forks, spoons—for you must understan that there are many people living in uptown mansions who havo scarcely moro than enough of such tilings for their own use."

CUSTOMERS' CIRCUMSTANCES. "As to silver, is it solid or plated?'"That depends a great deal on circumstances. When a man calls on me to xurnisli a breakfast, dinner, supper or luncheon, I make sure that he is responsible. If I don't know his circumstance', and you must remember his living in a brown stono front is no evidence of his means, I require references and a satisfactory deposit in advance. If his references aro first rate I give him tho best silver plate in tho house if not I use the cheap sets, which I keep for just such customers." "Do you lose much in this way?" "I havo never lost any plate, with the exception of occasionally a knifo or so, or some spoons, but these are liable to get lost in the dishwater." "Are the eatables prepared at your house?" "Oh, rx My customers are divided, I might say, into three classes. The first do all their own cooking, with the exception of very difficult dishes, the next are those who require me to do all tho cooking, and tho last are those who provide the plainest dishes only. These last are the genuine shoddies. They rent big houses and very seldom have anything beyond tho simplest fare, save on tho occasion of a party. I remember one of these families who gave a wedding party a few months ago. It required nearly two loads of furniture to present the appearance desired. This inclu led piano, chandelier, ^paintings, statuary, lounges, a crimson parlor set, carpets, leco curtains and even a clock. Of course they had a great dsal of furniture in tho house, but it was of tho plainest kind and very threadbare. It cost them a large sum of money Cb give tho party, but they paid every dollar of it" "How do yoc charge for your services?" "So much a bead. Then it depends on how much silver is wanted what amount of flowers whether it is a breakfast or dinner or supper. A wine supper generally costs the most. Next to it comcs a breakfast. Breakfasts cost from to $15 per head some suppers run up to $25 a head, according to the ware used and I am often compelled to put native wine into imported champagne bottles. This, however, is only dono to order, and is* of no benefit to me, so that I am allowed for rebottling and corking."—New York Hail and Express.

SOME OF THE MORE PROBABLE .PHASES OF CHIROMANCY.

Why Should Xot Hands Indicate the Sort of Man Who Handles Them? Large Hands Indicate Physical Strength,

Small Ones Spirituality. That chiromancy owes much of its charm to its supposed ability to forecast coming events is not to be gainsaid. But the object of this paper is rather to deal with it in its moro probable phases which serve as foundation for the less probable.

Let any one notice the various bands that pass before him. Should 100 different pairs come under his observation even a carsory glance will reveal that no two are alike, and thnt the variety is equal to the number. Long and short, thick and thin, broad and narrow, just as in faces. And if the variety in faces depends upon the soul behind the features, why should not the hands, implements of the soul, indicate the sort of soul that handles them?

A closer study will reveal corresponding differences in thumbs, fingers, palms, joints, skin texture, etc. From these variations, chiromants derive the information that frequently appears so startling to the uninitiated. A few of the ways for determining character from tho conformation of the hands may bo of interest to the curious. These aro gathered both from personal obsarvation and from works of acknowledged authority.

The general appearance of the hand comes most readily under our notice, and therefore might bo spoken of first. A hand with a large, thick and excessively hard palm, unpliant fingers, and a thumb straight across the tip (technically, "truncated") shows the owner to bo most thoroughly wrapped up in tho material world. In the lower grades of intelligence this hand will indicate the worker at coarse employment—the digger, tho handler of stono, the stable drudge. Higher opportunities may develop the buyer and seller, even the banker, whose soul is in his stock. These hands indicate that the mind which guides thoui is unimaginative, usually dull, sluggish and careless. If with this hand the tips of the fingers approach the conical, then their possessor is Superstitious, easily impressed by unusual phenomena, therefore he may be affected by poetry. "A GOOD PROVIDER."

Another form of hand suggests an instrument used by the chemist in mixing bis ingredients, tho spartula—flat, broad and bulging at the ends. Such hands area little higher in grade than the preceding. They indicate a love of bodily exercise, an ability to overcome physical obstacles. This hand seeks not only for tho necessaries of life, but also for the comforts. It prefers to labor rather than to suffer want. It declares a man tp bo what some women consider the highest qualification in a husband—"a good provider." The senses which guide it are more active than delicate, They have that natural intelligence which enables them to gain some mastery over nature. The mind, in this case, is not easily affected by variations of beauty therefore, it is more constant in love, governed by duty. Artisans possess this hand. Whatever field offers bodily exercise pleases i*\ The explorers who go constantly from place to place, who require to be self-denying and self-reliant, fearless of solitude, will have some form of this hand. It indicates a worship of the useful. A nation in which this hand abounds will have perfect machinery, many comforts, much wealth. It will care little for poetry, show little emotional excitement, will regard gesture and sentiment as affectation. The people will be fond of freedom therefore, in terested in politics.

Another hand, which might be called the useful hand, is known by its medium size, rather largo than small fingers, instead of being smooth, knotted, with the last joint, or phalange, squaro thumb large, its baso well developed the palm large and tolerably firm. The owner of this hand will, if there is any truth in palmistry, possess a love of order, a persevering spirit, the power of foresight. He will be a good leader, for he has the ability to classify and to organize, to plan good methods. Ho has a very limited power of imagination, restraining it by what he can comprehend. His standard of action and judgment will be the fitness of things. Literature, poetry, art will affect him only as he sees their utility.

THE ARTISTIC HAND. 1

The very opposite of extreme of qualities is proclaimed by the artistic hand. Its appearance of refinement at once attracts attention to it. Tbo general outline is conical, terminating in finger tips more or less pointed. If Viia hand is planned with a small thumb and moderately developed palm, the mind which directs it will bo most interested and delighted with the beautiful ^n form. This hand may have as a variety a broad, short and thick palm, with a large thumb then will it Beek after wealth and honor, not for their own sake, but for the delights which accompany them. The chief possession of the artistic hands is the imagination to whatever field their possessors may turn, their fancy will either brighten or darken the view. They caro little for the mechanic arts they prefer to be guided rather by inspiration and intuition than by rule. According to the Variety of this hand the motives of action will be enthusiasm or stratagem, or the promptings of pleasure. Their inclination will be to look for beauty before truth. They desire leisure, novelty, freedom. The characters with this hand aro very contradictory, being at the same time fearful and daring, humble and vain, possessing much impetuosity and little power. This hand indicates a roving disposition, beause of the desiro for novelty, and the fact that the owner is swayed by a love of beauty rather than of truth may produce fickleness of character and scorn of reason.

All these varieties of hand in their turn may be modified by varieties in structure. A band of any one of these types which is firm, but not hard, elastic, but not soft, will indicate a high order of the prevailing qualities of the type. Large hands are usually a sign of physical strength, small ones of spirituality. Large hands with small palms show their owners to be fond of detail, to look after the finish of their work, admire delicacy rather broadness of design. Two individuals of the same family may have hands which at first view appear alike their minds mid tastes will be alike, but as the hands will certainly differ in softness, pliancy, firmness, etc., so tho aptitudes and modes of action win differ.—New York 3un.

Wearing Tight Kid Gloves.

It Is only in America that women wear tight kid gloves, and I am happy to say thaf no American woman who is considered a well dressed woman does that nowadays. In Paris, if a woman is seen with tight kid gloves on, she is said either to be a provincial or an American. But, as I say, the fashion of tight gloves is going oat in this country. I remember when women, who ought to have known better, used to wear their gloves so tight that their thumbs were almost paralysed, and the little finger was drawn around into the palm. But nothing is considered more vulgar this nowadays.—-Hew York Car. Boston Gaastte.

GRAVES OF RICH MEN.

CAPITALISTS WHO THINK ABOUT DEATH AND BUY TOMBSTONES.

William H. Vanderbilt's Final Keating' Place In the Big Granite Tomb—Showy Plots and Imposing Mausoleums of

Men Who Expect to Die Kich.

The death mid burial of such famous men as Grant, Tildcn. Hendricks and Arthur, and tho recent removal of the remains of William H. Vanderbilt from the receiving vault in the Moravian cemetery at New Dorp to its final resting place in tho big granite tomb, awaken an interest in tho instances where well known living men have made provision for their interment niter death. All the beautiful cemeteries in the vicinity of New York contain evidences of the care with which some men have arranged for their bodies a resting placo after the soul has fled. In this connection, however, Woodlawn seems to have tho lead. Although the late Commodore Vanderbilt made no preparation for his grave except to own a modest little lot at New Dorp, and the newly constructed mausoleum of William H. Vanderbilt contains several catacombs, several members of the family havo secured beautiful plots at "Woodlawn. Gcorgo Osgood and D. B. Allen, Mrs. Herat-o F. Clarke and Cornelius Vanderbilt all have showy plots in this cemetery and spend much money in improving them Among the mausoleums built here is that of the late Frederick Butterfield, erected long before his death, which cost $10,000.

OTHER BEAUTIFUL TOMBS.*

Opposite Cornelius Vanderbilt's plot at Central and Poplar avenues is that of William H. Appleton, joined by that of A. H. Borney. A little further along is a beautiful mausoleum of Westerly granite, built by Christian Hester, of Hester Brothers. Mr. H. H. Cook, the millionaire, of Seventy-eighth street and Fifth avenue, paid $30,000 for a plot some time ago. and is building a mausoleum whi: will cose $40,000 more. A large plot on Beach lawn, conspicuous for a large figure of Hope, eight feet high, mounted on a pedestal rising thirty feet high, from abase nine feet square, marks \be burial plot of William F. Havemeyer. H. if. Flagler, of tho Standard Oil company, has a lieautiful tomb built on a hill not far from hat wherein rests the remains of Marshall O. Roberts, whose sarcophagus marks tho same appreciation of art that characterized his life.

Collis P. Huntington, president of the Central Pacific railway, and ono of the best known of the magnates of Wall street, has laid some curious plans for his grave. He intends that his remains shall be laid to rest at Woodlawn, in a mausoleum more pretentious and more costly and of greater proportions than any yet built. The stones that will bo used in its construction ho proposes shall each be of such enormous weight that no ordinary railroad car can carry them. They will be brought as near as possible to the cemetery by boat, and then rolled on immense rollers over tho country roads to the site of the tomb. If it is found necessary to, carry these stones over a bridge,"their weight will be such that it will be found necessary to strengthen tho structure's supports.

JAY GOULD'S PROVISION

Mr. Jay Gould has mado elaborate provision for tho disposition of his body after death. He has erected on Central avenue in W oodhaven cemetery a costly and imposing structure. It occupies the highest elevation of the grounds, and commands a view of tho 400 acres given up to tenements of tho dead. The ground on which tho mausoleum stands is i50 feet across, and is circular in form. It cost $60,000. The mausoleum, the exterior of which is modeled after one of the most famous buildings that onco stood on the Acropolis iu Athens—the Parthenon—cost $50,000. More than 800 tone of Westerly granite was used in its construction. The building is 87 feet long and 19 feet wide, and is surrounded by Doric pillars, thirty in number. Five pieces of solid granite compose tho roof, cach piece being 30 feet long and 0 feet wide. The door is solid bronze, and cos $3,000. Within the mausoleum are twelve shelves or catacombs, divided by an able 10 Teet wide, at the end of which is an ornate stained glass window, representing the heavenly choir. Each of tho catacombs is 8 feet long and 2% feet deep. A heavy slab of polished marble constitutes tho face of each, and will doubtless contain the name and so on of the person whose body is deposited within. Imbedded in each stone is a heavy bronze handle. Tho ceiling of tho vault is of polished marble. No name will appear on the outside of the mausoleum to show who lies buried within.

Mr. Gould's associate, Washington E. Connor. has secured a beautiful burial plot. A less pretentious but similar mausoleum is that of Henry A. Hurlbut, the well known banker and insurance broker, which is situated near the receiving tomb on Chapel hill. It has two columns on cach sido of its massive door, and, like Mr. Gould's vault, is lighted by a stained glass window. It is built entirely of polished white Italian marble. Near by is the grave of De Long, the Arctic explorer. Besides there are scores of active, go-ahead men of business, who, although they seem to be too much engrossed with life and its cares to think much about death, have made like provision for their placo of abode when they shall rest from their labors and await the inevitable hour.—New York Mail and Express. i»*

Savage Scenery in Ireland. People who say they are acquainted with the Irish lakes will tell you that water scenery in Ireland, while more beautiful and richer in coloring than the corresponding scenery in Scotland, is not so grand or savage. But I could tell them of a lake no* forty miles from •Killarney, a lake known only to tho native shepherds, to those process servers who have been ducked in its waters, and to a few trout "fishers, and yet a lake which is overshadowed by precipices more awful than any which, so far as I know, can be found nearer home than the Alps or the Pyrenees. I have seen it when the writhing mists were hanging round the summits of* the cliffs, which, scored with deep blank clefts, fall away abruptly in long vertical lines of naked rock from the skyey altitude of 2,000 feet over the water.

A truly vertical cliff of any great height is rare. There are sea cliffs on the west coast of Ireland which attain the height I havo mentioned, and even exceed it, but they are not truly vertical. If they are inclined to the horizontal at so much as 60 or 70 degrees, they look terriblo enough and they are called vertical. But let no one imagine that the cliffs of which I speak aro of this nature. They are absolutely verti­|Begister cal. One of them actually overhangs its base for a height which cannot be less than 1,000 or 1,200 feet, and, not content with the terror of its front, it ends above in ono of the most dizzy looking knife edges which I have ever seen either at home or abroad. Tho maps call the lake Coomasharn, and moot of the natives know it by the same namo, and you will find it set deeply iu some high mountains which lie some thirty miles southwest of Killarney. If you go there do not be content with looking at it from the northern extremity, where you see tho streams leaping and foaming from one pine laden ledge to another, but. follow an Alpine shepherd's path on the left, which climbs up the rocks in break-neck fashion, and brings you to the margin of tho little tarn of Coomacullen, where the huge naked crags stand around you oq every side, and where about a tho*isand feet above your head there is an eagle's nest. If the mists are on the summits, and if an eagle comes sweeping down in front of the great black chasm up above, you will bo ready to swear that the surveyors were liars bccnuso they did not set down the height of those rocks at 4,000 feet.—London Society.
