Some Women.

Wben walking out the empress of Russia always carries a largo fan, with which to screen her face from those who stare rudely at her.

MatJatta Holley, who wrote the famous "Josuii Allen's Wife" papers, has passed oearly all her life in the village of Adams, in Central New York. Unto within the last few years she bas mixed very little with the world living in absolute retirement with her invalid mother.

There are 800,000 more widows than widowers in England. In France for every 100 widowers there are 194 widows.

There are many more applicants for admission to Smith college for women at Northhampton, Mass., than can be accommodated. it is a melancholy fact nearly all the professors of the gentle sex at this college are unmarried.

Miss Sarah Lazarus, of New York, is said v. have the finest collection of fans and miniatures In-the country. She bas already given a large number of both fans and miniatures to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and is constantly adding to her gift. They are given in the name of her late father, and ihe collection is known as the Moses Lazarus collection.

Mrs. Bland, the poet and novelist, best known as "E. Nesbit," is described as a very pretty woman, with soft brown eyes and a delicacy of look, dress and carriage which belongs to the old aesthetic days, which, in ber -costumes at least, Mrs. Biand revives.

Mi® Susanna M. Duukiee, of Newton, Mass., the first woman to be a bank treasurer in the United States, with the help of a clerk, now handles $300,000 in money each year. In the fifteen years of her experience she has but iwicc taken in a counterfeit bill—in each case a $10 one.

Spanish women do not like to-invite a stranger to their houses. Most of them smoke cigarettes while eating, and are jealous of any word of criticism. A Spanish household is a very diSerent thing from an English or American one. It is much more frugal. Tlsey seldom give dinners, and eating is with them a matter of very small importance compared with the place it holds among the Anglo-Saxons.

Heels Indicate Intelligence. Heels aro, as they always have been, indications of the intelligence of the wearer. Women who know that health means beauty do not go about perched on French heels that not only jeopardize necks and ankles, but cause nervous disease and other serious ailments. Heels easy, comfortable and safe and moderately low aro in favor with sensible femininity, even for the fashionable slipper, and since in slippers the support given to the ankle by tho boot is withdrawn it is most important that the heel should be of proper construction.

Many object to low shoes on the ground that thov aro the prolific cause of colds and kindred "evils, and that they do not give the aukle the support necessary but if worn in tho proper place they need not prove un healthy, aud an ankle which requires assist ance needs to be strengthened beyond the no cessity of artificial aid. Constant wearing of boots only leaves certain muscles, which need to bo developed, powerless and inert.—Dress.

The French Woman's Purse. French women seem to cling to gants de Suedo, and a wonderful novelty has been brought out, viz., a purse inserted in the palm of the hand. A semicircular incision is made| In the palm, to which is then attached a metal rim this opens, showing a white kid lining forming a complete white purse. A better purso could lmrdly be invented. This is certainly turning to a clever account a somewhat vulgar plan of carrying money in a glove. Thesa particular gloves are mousquotaircs, eight button length, bufc fastened with a couple of buttons at the wrist. They aro greatly in demand. The leather cases for watches, hitherto attached to bracelets, are now adapted to hang at the side as chatelaines, not so safe as tho wrist, but nicer looking. If you are so minded, you may carry your tnonev or your watoh in the top of your stick or umbrella indeed, ornamentsare now turned to a useful account, and useful articles converted into ornaments. —CaswlI's Magazine. 'v.. f.

Ofline of Shadow Buff.

The gfuno of shadow buff differs very materially from blind man's buff, but it is equally as amusing. A large piece of white linen should be fastened neatly up at one end of a room, so that it hangs smoothly. Buff (not blinded) seats himself on a low* stool, with his face to the linen, and a table, on which is a lighted caudle, should be placed about four or five feet behind him, atid the rest of the lights extinguished. Bnffy's playfellows next pass in succession between the candle and him, distorting their features in as grotesque a maimer as possible—hopping, limping and performing various odd antics, so as to make their sliadow very unlike their usual looks. Buffy must then try and guoss to whom the shadows belong, and if ho guesses correctly, the player whose shadow he recognizes takes his place. Buff is allowed only one guess for oach person, and must not turn his head either to the right or left to see who passes. Montreal Star.

What Women Should Wear Greek Gowns. Certain women should wear on all possible occasions Greek gowns—women of statuesque build and classical mold it is a travesty on nature for such to array themselves in tailor made wraps and Redfern suits but thera are others who won id look like Titania in Boadieoa's armor if they dared so depart from prevailing precepts, says a writer in Dress, No woman should ask her dressmaker what she might towear. From her sho may seek ideas, but they should he modified by self to individual needs. If one does not lcaow what her Individual requirements are, let her hunt the art galleries, study there the nearest approach to personal idiosyncrasies the portraits reveal and evolve suggestions-

Protection for Dolls.

Richard Watson Gilder'i children are all of tb« most creative order. Little Dorothea, who owns to nine summers in the most in* noc«nt manner, has jus* invented a plan for protecting a favorite doll from the destructive assaults of mischief loving Owrsc.

rMKBE IUTE SA'

A TRUE OCEAN HER )INE.

In the year 18601 shipped aboard a Bfitr ish ship called the Swallow to make voyage from Bombay up the Persian gulf id back. She was an old craft and a poor Ser, and her crew of twelve men was made of four or five nationalities. I remember jt© were two Kanakas, or Sandwich Islan srs, one Lascar, a negro or two, aud the ot srs were American, English and Dutch. ^ai scarcely left Bombay when the caj »in was taken sick with fever. His name ras Aldrich, and his wife, who was a worn of 30, always sailed with him. She now ok command in a general way, and this to be satisfaction of the mates, though both re thorough sailors. I heard one of them ay that she could take an observation or woi: a dead reckoning, and saw from the orders toe gave that she knew all about a ship. Jj

Tho dhow sneaked along until nearly opposite us. All work had been suspended aloft, and she must have known by this that we were ready for ber: but she came on just the same. And no wonder. One of the men went-aloft, with the glass, and he made out two guns on her deck aud a perfect swarm of men. Sho was going to do a bold thing—run us aboard in broad daylight. She would not r.so lier guns, fearing they would be heard aud bring us assistance but if that, mob ever gained our docks we were gone. We lay with our head to tho northwest, so she would pass our port quarter first. Here two of the strongest men were placed with the grenades, and two of us with muskets were betwoen them. The others were placed to fire over the stern.

VICTORY, THEN TEA^3. I

Down came the dhow foot by foot, with never a cheer from the crowd of cutthroats on her decks. There was a menace in their silence, but it had no effect upon us. We were determined to fight, and to fight to the last. I got the first shot and knocked over a man on her forecastle, and then all began to blazoaway. Sho did pot fire in return, but forged up on our quarter, and I could see fifty Arabs, each ono armed with'a crease, crowding against the rail to be ready to board. "Now, heave!" yelled one of the sailors with the bombs, and both lighted the fuses and heaved away.

Before we could tell what damage had been done the dhow was alongside. She threw ber grapnels, but they did not catch, and she rubbed our whole length and went ahead. As we saw her failure we blazed away again with the muskets, and every ball found a man. She sailed like a'witch, and before she could be checked was a cable's length ahead. She had just put her helm over when there was an explosion, followed by a great sheet of flame, and we saw that he was hard hit.

Confusion reigned from stem to stern in a moment, and we added to it by peppering away at fair range. All ablcze within five minutes, she fell off, beaded for shore, and was run on a reef about one mile away. We saw some save themselves by boats and rafts being swept into the shore by the tidu, bet it was afterward learned that upward of fortyfive men were killed or drowned, and that the loss of the dhow broke up a bad gang of pirates. Mrs. Aldrich was on deck through it all, emptying the revolver into the crowd as the dhow passed tie, and when all was over she went down to her husband with face onlv a little whiter and mouth more firmly set She did not betray her womanly weakness until she came to thank us. Thai she broke down and cried like a—well, just like a woman. —»w York Sun.

The Captain Was Sick sod His Chute—Her Heroic Conduct Inspired the Crew—A Vlctwj face of Odds—.Jlist Like a We

Lfe Took Serre In the .jbn.

"we'll fight to the lJlSt.

We had good weather and made gf progress until we were above Muscat, iu foe Bay of Ormuz. Then, one forenoon, v» got a squall, which did notr last tep mintkeSi but which brought down our fore and main to'gallant masts aud carried away asail or two. There was only a light breazo after the squall had passed, and wo were lying to and hard at work when an Arabian dlow of about 200 tons burden came stealing down the coast. We were within four mil£ of the rocky aud mountainous shore, but Jbe was two miles iuside of us.' She was no sooner made out than the first mate becaiie very anxious, and Mrs. Aldrich was sens for to come on deck. She took a good Iocs at the stranger through the glass, aud, as she turned away, she queried of the mate: "Can we depend on the crew to figkt?" "I hope so, ma'am," ho replied. "Have them come aft."

All moved aft, and I can remember through all the long years just how she looked and every word she said. She had a worried, anxious look, and no wonder, and there was a trembling iu her voice as she said: "Men, you kuow that your captain is very sick. Yonder comes a pirate, if. there ever was one. If he captures us, those whqlive through the fight will go into the interior as slaves and worse. If we are all agreed we can beat him off. What do you say?" "We'll light to the last!" shouted one, and the cry was taken up by all. "Thank God!" she fervently exclaitaed. "Give him a brave fight, aud no one can be blamed if we are defeated. Sootier than fall into his hands I will Mow the ship sky high and all of us with her." it

We had no cannon, but we had filteeu muskets, a lot of cavalry sabers, aud the captain had not dodged about those waters with his eyes shut. He had, two or three years before, purchased a dozen hand grenades, or stinkpots, such as are used by the Chinese. These were brought up with the rest atid found to be fused and in good condition.

They weighed about two pounds apiece, and each was inclosed iu a net, so that it could bo tossed quite a distance. Wo loaded our muskets, took our stations, and were as read}" as we could be. The captain's wife alternated between the dock and the cabin. Ho was out of his head, which was the better for him, and she had his revolver for use.

Hum should be broiled very quickly and just enough to cook thrrfugh. Tin cleaned with' paper will shine better than when cleaned with flannel.

Mrs. SaraW* A. Barhum, who is now 78 years of age, owns and conducts a stock farm of 2,000 acres on Long Island. She is very successful, and it is her boast that she has never sold a colt born on her farm for less than $500, and many of them have brought 81,500 or more.

One of the latest social innovations, says an English provincial paper, is the female butler, a parlor maid in livery. wod looking girl in livery of dark blue, green and gold, or scarlet and white, looks very smart, and the waiting is, as a rule, done more quietly and deftly than by a man.

Mrs* Christina F. Haley, formerly chairman of the business woman's committee of Sorosis, has made a comfortable fortune out of the examination of inventions and patent claims.

Miss Agnes K_ Murphy, a youug lady barely 31 years of age, carries on a large and successful real estate business in New York city.

Miss Adolph Heller and Miss Duffy are each of them tho successful managers of largo dry goods stores in Philadelphia.

English Dinners.

The old English dinner table was a massive thing and was heavily loaded for dinner There were huge joints, enormous game pies and carcasses of poultry. It was considered the correct thing for the hostess to carve and to press the guests to gluttony, and the host to pass the bottles several times too often, with such a display of food there was little room for floral decorations. Iu the course of time the vegetables were banished from the table and banded by the attendants. Then the made dishes were dubbed entrees and were cleared off the table and brought in by the attendants, piping hot Finally tho meats were taken off, aud at last the guests were permitted to eat or not to eat, without any influence on the part of host or hostess, while at the same time the praising of the viands, which used to be the practice, no longer bocame proper.—Pittsburg Bulletin.

SJS Limerick Lace.'

Miss Former, the adopted day^iiio? if tlie late Irish chief secretary, has nearly succeeded in reviving the manufacture of Limerick lace, an important Irish industry which has long been neglected. Miss Forster, since ?r marriage with Mi*. Robert Vere O'Brien, bas lived near Limerick, and she recently turned her attention td reviving the lacc industry, which now bids fair to resume its wouted activity. Assisted by a committee, she has opened a training school for girls, the pupils of which are making rapid progress in the art. All tho necessary material has been supplied to tho girls, who, in addition to their ordinary training, receive lessons at the local school of art iu connection with South Kensington.—London Letter.

Hyacinths In Glasses.

Aii English grower gives the following directions for growing hyacinths in glasses: "Fill your glass with water, throwing in a small piece of charcoal, and let the lower part of the bulb just touch tbo water. Put them into a oool but not a damp place, away from the light, aud leave them till the glasses are filled with roots and the leaves have begun to develop then give them as much suu and light as Von can, adding, if necessary, occasionally a little water. Unless the water becomes muddy never chango it, and don't put the pots aud glasses into a cellar .where the atmosphere is damp, or into a cupboard where there is no atmosphere at all. A spare room where there is no fire and plenty of air is best."

Get a Gcadstick.

While attending the Maine state fair, a correspondent of The North Star noticed the fresh, bright countenance of the young miss who drove the trained steers, then called to mind the appearance of another young lady of his native town, who gets the air only while on her way to school, and who always keeps a novel on hand to read herself to sleep with at night and, as a result of his reflections and comparisons, he remarks: "If these different conditions of life will produce such a marked difference in the development of two equally healthy and intelligent girls, I think it would be well for every miss to throw her novel to the dogs and get a goads tick."

Little Helps.

Plants will not thrive in a draft. Sponge a shiny coat with ammonia and water.

Soak machine oil stains in cold water before washing.

Butter is tainted by any strong smelling odor. Therefore it should be kept by Itself. Have coffee pulverized. A third less will be required, and the quality much improved.

There is no economy in cheap soap. Get the best, wben half the quantity will be needed.

Clothes dry out much stiffer wben powdered borax is put into the hot starch just before using.—Mrs. .W. H. Maher.

Too Many Adjective*.

When women begin to write, as most women do nowadays, for th# public print, they oftenest spoil their work by a profusoness of adjectives. To the society reporter serving her novitiate every woman Is "ravishingly beautiful." To the young describer all thingsare "dainty" Or "charming." Only an old bird of a Writer, tough and set, cau afford to be a spendthrift in these particulars. Emerson begged folk to beware of italics and reminded us that "to few people would the occasion for the word intense come in a lifetimes—New Orleans Picayune.

The Hmrleqoin Style.

A writer appeals to women to preserve the harmoay of color In dress and says: "On* doesso tim ae a womatvdreaeed like harleqv wi black hat, a brown jacket or gray a green rus, yellow gloves and taa rok: -*.oea, this is no exaggeration.* She it a hideous Combinations are sometimes seen on Broadway in the richest materials.

fntmmuola's Victims.

I am frequently asked to explain why pneumonia usually strikes the healthy, robust person more often than it docs the weak, thin people. The cause is a very simple one. As a general rule, the healthy people pay the least attention to the condition of their health, believing that their constitution is sufficiently strong to withstand all ordinary exposure. On the other band, tie weakly person or invalid takes more than the usual precaution against even the most ordinary exposure. T%ey do not stand within dangerous air drafts they do not change heavy for light underclothing, and they do not do many other tilings of an equally dangerous character.St Louis Globe-Democrat

A New Method of Treating Disease.

HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is a new departure in the treatment of disease. It consists iu the collection of the specifics used by noted specialists of Europe and America, and bringing them within the reach of all. For instance the treatment pursued by special physicians who treat indigestion, stomach and liver troubles only, was obtained and prepared. The treatmentofotherphysiclans celebrated for curing catarih was procured, aud so ou till these incomparable cures now include disease of tho lungs, kidneys, female weakness, rheumatism, and nervous debility.

This now method of -'one romedey for oho disease" must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly realize the absurdity of the claims of patent medicines which are guaranteed to euro every ill out of a single bottle, and the use of which, as statistics prove,-litis ruined more stomachs than alcohol. A circular describing these new remedies is sent free on receipt of stamp to pay postage by Hospital Remedy Company, Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors.

Prof. Lolsette's memory system is creating greater interest than ever in all parts of the country, and persons wishing to improve their memory should send for his prospectus free as advertised in another column.
