WOMAN GOSSIT. He lifted his face in the starlight dim, And all that he saw was a round, dull sky; And the stars that twinkled, looked to him Like me phosphor gleams of the fire-fly. Ihe new moon hung in an awkward shape And was crooked and bent like the horn of a ram; The somber maples seemed hung with crape. And the garden gate banged to with a shvrn The brook oozed over the slimy stones From stagnant pools in the meadow marsh; Or it crooned along with plaintive moans, And the song of the whip-poor-will was harsh, He jabbed his ribs on the clumsy stile, For dark as pitch was the dusty lone; And his thin lips curved in a bitter smile, Aa iter smote the weeds -witL a spiteful catte. Sough and nglv and long was the way, The skies were dun and the earth was cold: Be hated the night and he dreaded the day. And his heart seemed a hundred centuries old ; With the dirge of his sighs he tuned Us tread, As one who pondereth bitter things: Sat he only whispered, with drooping head, And a heart that wondered "Kicked, by lings!" It. J. JBttrdette, in Life. Bid Not Want a Boat Named for Her. The daughter of a fisherman at a seashore town had a tiff -with her lover because she would not allow him to same his new boat for her. "Why do you stand out agin' it?" asked, her father. "Well," queried the girl, "do you think it snch a great compliment to hear every few weeks that Matildy Slocum's up for repairs, Matildy Slocum's in the dock to be scraped, or that Matildy Slocnm's lost any of her fixin's generally? Well now, if yon do, I -don't; and that's got to settle it!" Boston Transcript. What It Was Like. "Aw, can you tell me, Miss Fair," queried George Washington LaDude, After a brief period of intense study, "why the aw Ponto's caudal appendage is like a coming event?" "No, Mr. LaDude." "Well, aw, ft is something to a cur, don't you know ha ! ha V "Very good, Mr. LaDnde; very good. .But can you tell me why your hat is like a bad habit?" "Why, er-r, aw; well no why is it?" "Because it is something to a void." "Oh! weally, now, Miss Fair, you ro just too bad for anything, don't you know?" The Judge. Marrying the Girls om the Buckwheat We have said that men do not, as a Tale, figure conspicuously as matchmakers, nor do they; but the judgment find policy exhibited in this connection by a knowing old gentleman of our .acquaintance could hardly be surpassed by the most accomplished tactician of -either sex. "Brown," said a neighbor to hin one iay, "I don't see how it is that your girls all marry off as soon as they get old enough, while none of mine can marry." "Oh! that's simple enough," he replied; CI marry my girls off on the buckwheat straw principle." "But what principle is that? Never beard of it before." "Well, I used to raise a good deal of buckwheat, and it puzzled me how to get rid of the straw. Nothing would eat it, and it was a great bother to me. At last I thought of a plan. I stacked my buckwheat straw nicely and built a high rail fence around it. My cattle of course concluded that it must be something good, and at once tore down the fence and began to eat the straw. I -drove them away and put up the fence a few times; .but the more I hunted them off the more anxious they became to eat the straw, and eat it they did, every bit of it. As I said, I marry my .girls on the same principle. When a young man that I don't like begins to call on my girls I encourage him in every way I can. I tell him to come often and stay as late as he pleases, and I take pains to hint to the girls that 1 think they'd better set their caps for him. It works first rate. He don't make many calls, for the girls treat "him as coolly as they can. But when a young fellow that I like comes around a man that I think would suit me for a son-in-law I don't let him make many calls before I give him to understand that he isn't wanted about my house. I tell the girls, too, that they shall not have anything to do with him, and give them orders never to speak to hhn again. The plan always works exactly as I wish. The young folks begin to pity and sympathize with each other, and the nextttiing I know is that they are engaged to be married. When I see that they are determined to marry I of course give in and pretend to make the best of it. That's the way I manage it." A JPUmeer JrmaliU In a tiny, cosy little cottage in Yazoo City lives the first newspaper woman in this country, Mrs. Harriett N. Prewett. In 1818 Mrs. Prewett was left a widow, the most important of her possessions

being three children and a weekly newspaper, the Yazoo City Whig, afterwards the Banner. For more than fourteen years Mrs. Prewett was editor, prbprieTOr, n?iws editor, agent, book-keeper and mailing clerk for her spunky little paper. She also kept house, saw that things were tidy at home, and did sewing and patching and mending and knitting for her three children. Her editorials were strong and fearless, and exercised strong influence in Mississippi politics. Mrs. Prewett held out as long as she could against the extreme measure of secession, but, when she did haul down her flag, she became one of the boldest, bravest defenders of theSouthern cause. At one time Mrs. Prewett had an editorial tilt with Mrs. Swisshelm, who was then Tunning a paper in Massachusetts, regarding the respective merits of their babies. Mrs. Prewett's was the first paper in the country to announce the name of Millard Fillmore for the Presidency. This brave, hardworking woman used to take her sewing to the office with her, and when interrupted by the proverbial fiends that haunted newspaper offices before the war she would lay aside her pen and sew or knit while talking so as not to lose any time. Finally this grand woman's strength gave way, and she became a helpless invalid. For twenty years she has been tied, hand and foot, to an invalid's chair, whence, with an eye as keen and a mind as bright as ever it was when editress of a dashing, influential paper, she looks out on the world in which she has accomplished her life's work. To-day Mrs. Prewett is a graceful writer, and occasionally dainty poems, like whitewinged lAds, flutter out into the newspaper world from her littlehome in the peaceful Yazoo valley. Catharine Cole, in New Orleans Picayune. "May I?" ; i When she was asked to express an opinion on some trivial matter she looked timidly round with her clear gray eyes upon each of the masculine persons and said: "May I?" Here we had the ivy and the oak reduced to practice. Every, man in that group grew an inch or two) in stature and in girth without knowing it. A new magnanimity stirred in him and he cried: "Certainly! certainly!" I have met that "May I" woman a good many times since, and she always walked over the stoniest places of life with sylph-like comfort, for all the masculine persons put their necks down for her to step upon. She is the superb phantom of the social circle, the mistress of the mob, tha empress of the masculine persons everywhere. Your ordinary masculine person doesn't want to be conjured. He wants to be cajoled. And in every set of pretty women who tyrannize with their black eyes and coerce with their saucy conduct there is one gray-eyed "May I" creature who quietly locks up all the men's hearts; and then, in her own sweet and docile way, tortures and pawns and burns them afterward, without so much as a protesting squeak. Don't ask me to name them all. I have one in my mind now who clung to an observer with the delicacy of a tear and the sweet softness of an odor. But she put $200 a week in the bank and always said to the receiving teller, with a winning pathos, "May I?" And the receiving teller, feeling a thrill of masculine sympathy, always responded with an assuring "Certainly." Such superb women are created to keep alive the masculine ideal ol woman. It would utterly die out if men could not go at intervals and refresh their memories with the angelic, impalpable character, set like a lambent flame on a most palpable physique. I admire the "May I" woman. She not only wears an expression that, as Emerson says, apjears to be looking for something better than she has ever ound, but her innocent conduct always assures us that she has found something better than she ever looked for. New York World.

SOMETHING JPRETTT. Wicker work-baskets are prettily trimmed by weaving in the openings inch-wide satin ribbon of a cardinal color. A row of this should be threaded around the bent-over rim by putting the end of the ribbon through one opening, over one, and pull it through tha third to the under-side again, spreading out the ribbon -on the upper-side the full -width in the center; weave the ribbon in this way all around the edge, and join the ends on top with a little bow. On the opposite side of the basket fasten a little square cushion, for pins and loose needles, with a piece of the ribbon placed diagonally around it and tied in a bow to the basket-edge. Unless the bottom of the basket is very firm and close, fit a pasteboard exactly to it and cover neatly with silesia of the same shade of the ribbon used. Inexpensive little baskets for holding thimble, thread and scissors can be made very ornamental in this way.

MEXICAN LA W. Regulations Touching Beat-Estate Dealings bp Foreigners. The following abstract of the laws of Mexico regarding the acquisition by foreigners of real estate in Mexico is given in the San Antonio Express, and was compiled by Senor Don Francisco Gomez da Palaclo, a lawyer, and now Governor of the State of Durango : 1. Foreigners resident and domiciliated in the republic of Mexico can acquire there every class of immovable property, including mines of every kind, under the same rights the civil law establishes for Mexicans. The following are the exceptions to the rule: That to acquire lands situated within twenty leagues or less of any frontier of tha republic a foreigner is required to obtain the permission of the President. That no foreigner can acquire real property within five leagues or less Of any seashore of the republic, not even with the permission of the President, unless under a special law giving him the privilege. That no foreigner can locate any of the publie lands of the nation, should he be a native or naturalized citizen of any country adjoining tins republic, if such public lands are situated in any State or Territory bounded by that. The foreigner shall lose his rights to real estate he may have acquired in the republic under the following circumstances : By absenting himself from the country, with his family, for two years, without permission of the Government. Fines do not come under this rule. These we can hold even during z absence. By residing outside of the republic, even although he should leave an attorney, or agent authorized to sign his name. As alone, mines are excepted from this rule. By transfer of the property, by inheritance, sale, or any other title, to a person not residing in the republic, mines excepted. In all of the above cases the property shall be sold, and the product of the sale delivered to the party holdir.g the lands, with a deduction of 10 per cent. ' If land has been acquired by a location of public lands, which shall not amount to over 2,500 hectares to each locator, the right to same shall be forfeited by failing to maintain on it one inhabitant for each 200 hectares. Such default accruing by failure to maintain such inhabitant for four months in any place. The consequences following the acquisition of real estate by a foreigner jin the Mexican republic, ae : : The obligation to be subject to existing laws, or such as may be established, regarding ownership, transmission, use and enjoyment of the property, and to submit to the decisions of the Mexican courts in everything that relates to it. j The duty to pay all taxes legitimately assessed on said property. ' To contribute with his freedom and means toward the preservation of peace and order, in the place of his habitation, this not including the case of disturbances caused by political insurrections or civil war. The status of a Mexican, which a foreigner assumes when he acquires real estate, shall not exist should he declare his wish to preserve his nationality. CVStlOUS TREATMENT OV BABIES. ' One of the most curious sights in St.

Petersburg is the Foundling Hospital. I This is a departure from established custom in other parts of the world thai may be mentioned. I am told that generally, when a Avoman wants to dry and clothe her offspring after a refreshing wash, she sits down and takes it in her lap. Here she does not adopt this course. At half a dozen points in the ward were tables about three feet high, the tops padded and covered with clean cloths, and when an infant has been duly doused in one of the little baths that stood handy, the nurse took it to one of these tables, laid it down flat to receive a final polishing, and then proceeded to swath it in a variety of napkins and bands and wrappings, the intricacy of which I cannot attempt to describe. It seemed a very convenient method and drew forth the encomiums of the ladies of our party. San Francisco Chronicle. AN ARTIST'S HEW ARB. In 18M the spirited painting "The Battle of Neuport," made for King Wilhelm II. of Holland, was carried to the Palace of the Hague as the King had ordered. The next morning M. De Keyser, the artist, was invited to come to the King. When he entered the room where the picture was hanging the King was standing before the picture m the act of fastening upon its frame the cross of the Lion of the Netherlands, attached to a coat of arme in a handsome setting. "I like to decorate upon the very field of battle," said the King, at the same time ordering "The Battle ol Seneffe." Mrs. Z. B. Gustafson, in Harper's. .
