CONTRASTS O* SEWING WOMEN. Advantages oi me r?cmrj uui w um Country Ovoe Her Sister In the City. Yon may see in any one of perhaps a hnndred shops in this city colorless, sad eyed, dingily olad women bending ove* tewing machines amid sqnalid surroundings, with no outlook save through a window opening upon a sordid street. You may see in at least a score of country villages 50 miles from any great city a crowd of neatly clad, happy looking itttIr and women busied with like "? o ? tasks, but amid clean and pleasant surroundings, with glimpses of n smiling landscape through every window. The New York women, released from their toil, hasten home to gloomy tenement lodgings and unwholesome fare. The village giris troop from the factory to modest but clean and pleasant homes, Where food is fresh and abundant. The New York sewing machine woman is an insignificant unit in a great community. She feels daily the pressure of her fellows that are ready to take her place and her earnings. She hears froza. . > embittered men and women talk of the... rights of labor and the greed of wealth. 8he knows that her earnings would not keep some of her rioh sisters in cut flowera Whenever she stirs out of her own dingy quarter, it is to see at every step evidence of the luxury in which some live ana 01 toe coauust umwccu u<u lot and theirs. The village factory girl has hardly heard that there is a labor problem. Her $200 or $250 a year, earned at the sewing machine, clothes' her -well, procures for her small luxuries and helps to keep the family above want She makes little pleasure trips hither and yon when work is slack and looks forward with confidence to marriage and a home of her own, olean, sweet and comfortable. She never sees among her fellow townsfolk -v one who has any essential comfort that she lacks, and nine women out of ten in the village have less to spend on dress than Bhe hag. She never sees a hungry or ragged person, unless it be an occasional tramp, and she hardly \ grasps the meaning of. what she now and then hears about the lives of the poor in great oities. The New York slave to the sewing maohine lives half an hour from the heart of the western world and may, if she will, on any night see Broadway and its throngs by elefltrio light The Tillage faotory girl believes that she . would be happy to give up all her comforts for the other's privilege of seeing at willi the splendors of the great city. The New York Bewing woman would not, if she could, change places with the village factory girL?New York Sun. , , A Turfman's Tale. A New Jerseyman told me a good story the other day an one of our foremost turfmen, a man whose name is perhaps printed oftener than that of any other connected with racing in America, a good many years ago una turfman, who was not then deep in the racing business, arrived in Jersey City With a trainload of mustangs from the plains of Texas. He knew nothing of the laws of tlie state nor of the ordi' nances of the city. He knew that he wanted to sell his mustangs and thought the best way to do it was to sell them at auction. Being somewhat gifted in ' speech, he determined that he would be his own auctioneer. The sale started out well Pair prices were realized. Suddenly it was interrupted by polioemen, who demanded a view of oar friend's lioense. i "Lioense?" he said amazed. "What lioense? I haven't any lioense of any kind." , * "Well, you oan't sell horses in this city without a license. You'll have to "wo oIrvnrr Va mnnlroTT Knofnaflfl WltK VfUtV BiUUgi U ,J WUHMAWW T? - ? ns." Of course he went along, bat he was lucky enough to find at court a friend (a > lawyer), who went bail for him in the sum of $50. Then the lawyer said: "A license costs $250. Ton are under bonds. Go ahead and finish your sale, collect your money and skip out Give f ?ae $50 to settle the forfeited bond, and you are $200 ahead of the game." It was done accordingly. The turfman and his friend met in the St James hotel lately and laughed over the joke. ?New York Press. Catting Xt Short. A barber'8 shop is sometimes a trying place for men who dislike to hear other people gossip. The barber, especially if he has a little shop and is alone, must .talk to his customers. Here is a scene in a country barber's shop, a full bearded and rather sour looking gentleman being in the chair. "Hair out," says the customer. "All right, sir. How'll yon have it #ut?" "Short" "H'm? purty short, or only middlin?" "Very ohort," "H'm?I wouldn't if Iwm yon, sir." "Why not?" "I don't think very short hair would nit you at all well, sir." "Oh, yea, it would. It wonld shit me xactly." "H'm?what makes yon think so, iir?" 'Popanon T oVirvri lHn ftn nnmfl here for a long time." "Oh!" The barber cute away in silence and very short.?London Tit-Bits. One Spoon Enough. A Boston man traveling through the soath was obliged to stop over in a small town where there was but one hotel, at which the accommodations were hardly to be called elaborate. When the colored waiter brought hib dinner, % UAofnn man fnnnH tliat ho vaq fn have roast beef, stewed tomaloes, corn, peas, potatoes and coffee, the vegetables served in tbe usual stone china canoes. % Presently he said to the waiter, "Dick, pass the spoons."
