TPLE T TO TIlE. MZESSE fC*ER What a Woman Can Do. She can talk faster than a man can hear. She can say 'No' and stick to it all the time. She can also say 'No' in such a low, soft voice that it means 'yes.' She can et-'her breakfast in bed and enjoy it. This is something that'no nan can do. She can sharpen a lead-pencil, if you give her plenty of ime and plenty of pencils. She can see in a great big self ish hulk qualities which he does not and never did possess. She can dance all night in a pair of shoes two sizes too small for her and enjoy every minute of the time. She can pass a display window of a dry goods store without stop ping-if she is running to catch a train. She can appreciate a kiss from her husband seveity-five years af ter the marriage ceremony has ta ken place. She can walk half the night with a colicky baby in her arms without expressinug the desire to inrder the infant. She can suffer abuse and neglect for years, which one touch of kind ness or consideration will drive from her recollection. She can go to church and after wards tell you all of what every woman in the congregation had on and in some rare instances can give a faint idea what the text was. She can look her husband square in the eyes when lie tells hercock and-bull stories about being 'Ide tained at the ollice,' without be t raying in the least that she knows him to be a colossal liar. She Cani rumple up $17,000 worth of' dress goods and buy a spool1 of thread, with an order to have it delivered four miles away, in a style that will transfix the pro prietor of the establishment with admiration. She can go into convulsions at the sight ot a mouse, and five min uites later she can listen to her husband's story of his financial ruin with a loving smile on her face and with a courage in her heart that comes not within the knowlerlge of men. She can-but what's the use ! A woman. can do anything end ev erything, an4 . do it weU, She car do more in a minute than a man can. do in an hour, and do it better. She can make- the alleged lords of creation bow to her own sweet will, and they will never know it. Yes, a woman can do everything, with but one excep tion : she cannot climb a tree. A SAD CAsM.-A Western paper is in receipt of a short story from Chicago, which is so full of misery that there is no fun in it anywhere but it is told as a warning to ladies to be careful'how they accuse ser vant girls of crime. A man from the ( hicago carpet coipany was sent to a house recently to put down.a carpet, and in the work it was necessary to remove a large mirror, and in doing so a beauti ftil breast-pin fell upon the carpet, which the man gave to the lady of the house. Instead of a smile of' thankfuiiess from the lady, which the man expected, the lady fell down on her knees sobbing and praying, and asking God to forgive her for her injutice. The man was paralyzed, and thought the woman was crazy, but she ex )lained to him, as she put oin her cloak to go down town, that a ser vant girl had been accused of stealing the breast-pin, and was serving a terim ill th(! penitentiai'y for it. The woman hustled down to her Iisbaud's oftle- and showed the pin, and iii an hour, work was be gun to release the poor girl from prison, where she had been for ma ny months. W0ho Can picture the sufferings of that poor, honest girl, in prison, serving a sentence for a crime which she did not comn mit, and who can realize the ago ny of' the woman who sent her there ? The paper trusts that the poor girl will have beeni released before thlis is read, and that tile w ealthy woman will amply reward her for the suffering she hlas en dured. Such cases are too fre quent in this world, where inno cence is made to suffer on circum stantial evidence. -Absence dimnishes the or'dinar'y passions and ilreases thne great oneCs, as the wind exting'uishes thne candle and hibrhts the fire.
