A NEW WOMAN. night. there There had been whist that evening at the club and, incidentally, there had been charniiagno. There were cigars and conversation. The meeting had been a thorough success, so in consequence tho members of tho Columbian were in high feather. The club was only a year old, and each new success meant another weight thrown on tho sido of popularity aud permanence. So tho conversation had in it some of the spirit of tho lively young men. “By Jove,” said Morris Habbortou, “this is what I call real joy of life. A follow attends to his businessdnriug-HlG day aud feels that he dgs^fVes a rest at Sohe hiejj^fiin to his club, where Sards, cigars, congenial fai rs and a harmless glass. ” “Nothing like it,” said old Hobbs, who was gray us to the friugos of his bald pate, but had left tho Bachelors’ because, as ho explained it, “tho fellows were getting old and grumpy.” “There's always a glow about tho very oppoarauce of the club entrance to mo,” said Habbortou. “Oh, wo know that’s champagne talk ing, but tho vintage seems to have the knack of uttering truth tonight.” This was Lewis Mortimer’s contribu tion to tho general talk. “Vintage bo hanged!” exclaimed the first speaker, turning on him in mock fury. But old Hobbs interrupted him with, “Don’t hang tho vintage now, my dear boy, and don’t, on your life, underrate its power and influence. ” “I don’t, but ray words aro the words of sauo aud sober truth. I say and main tain and I reiterato that there aro a warmth and a genial glow about the very entrance to theso rooms.” “He waxotb oratorical,” mocked Mortimer. “Contrast, ” went on Habbortou, with out deigning to notice tho iuterrupti ‘this homo coming with th§JvOTm com- iS married to a worn am “ these now women,” from ington, who had not before joined in tho conversation. “Ah, now you aro talking sense,” said old Hobbs, rubbing his hands glee fully. “It is tho advent of the new woman that is keeping so many inno cent, eligible and worthy men from matiimony. ” “How do you know?” iuterrnpted Mortimer, with especial stress on the “you.” Soma one threw an almanac at him, and old Hobbs remarked that he bated “weak attempts at sarcasm.” Reginald Vcrtrcss was a known aud reputed ladies’ man, so nobody paid much attention when he observed, rath er tentatively: “Oh, I haven’t much faith in all this talk about tho new woman, anyway. If you’d believe me, she’s only tho same dear creature with the addition of a bicycle, big sleeves and a membership ticket in the V. U. P. U. ” “Well, whatever may be said,” went on Habbortcn—he had drunk considera ble champagne—“the new woman is a painful reality. Wo hate to admit her preseuce, but she is hero, though wo hope not to stay. ” “Pray forbear,” exclaimed tho irre pressible Mortimer. “Who knows but some of our number have formed ‘en tangling alliances’ with now vromcn who make political speeches and head petitioning conventions?” “May gracious heaven forbid!” re sponded Habbertou, in such a tone of meek tragedy that tho whole company burst into peals of rollicking laughter. There was one young man who had not joined in the conversation aud who did not join in tho laugh. This was Tom Aguew. Ho sat smok ing in an obsenro corner, and his face flushed at tho last words of Habberton Mortimer and tho laugli which greeted them. As soon as convenience would al low ho rose and slipped away. In his mind a ttrango fight was taking place between resentment, love and fear of ridicule. Ho felt that in Lewis Mortimer’s last remarks there had been a veiled allusion to himself, though his engagement to Helen CJayburn was supposed to be a secret. Helen he know to be a leader in the work of women, and ho grew angry with himself, with her and with his compan ions when ho thought that sho might be included in the category of new women. A man is not always reasonable after champagne aud a losing game of whist. Bo in his unreason Tom Aguew wrote a letter that night which in his saner mo ments he would not have been guilty of penning. And tho next morning Helen Clay- btfrn received it just us sho was going out to attend a meeting of the Kinder garten association. “Why, it’s a letter from Tom,” she said. “I wonder if ho is in baste to go oway, that ho writes.” Aud she tore it open. It was not very long and as she read it she grew white and trembled a little. But Helen Claybum was a very seie-iblo girl. Bhn handed the letter to her mother, saying: “Bomt-thing lias gone wrong to vex He should have come to me in- :of writing. I will wait for him to souses.” paper that morning before the association an.1 tho ladies said of it: “The paper was excellent, but don’t you think ils value was much added to by her maimer of reading? It was read with such spirit.” When sho came home from tho associ ation, Helen Claybum read Tom Ag- new’s letter again and cried a littlo ns sho laid it down. “He ‘cannot become tho laughing stock of men by marrying a girl whose notions place her unmistakably in the ranks of that very undesirable creature, tha new woman. ’ Who has been talking to him, and what have I done except tuko an interest in what should engage tho attention of every true woman? Tom, Tom, I lovo you, but you must— you must come to yourself.” Aud sho did not answer the letter. Three weeks passed aud Tom Aguew grew uneasy. Why had Helen not writ ten? Ho had expected a letter from her before this. Ho hoped he had said noth ing which sho might construe into a de sire on his part to break their engage ment. Ho had not meant to go so far as that. Ho was at tho club one night again, and in tho meantime an election had taken place. There were only cigars on this night. There had been no whist, no cham pagne. “It is wonderful what a triumph we have in electing pure and worthy men tP tako charge of our school interests,” said Morris Habberton seriously. “Yos, we,” sneered Lewis Mortimer. “Betsey aud I, wo killed a bear, didn’t we? What aro you talking about? It was tho women who did it. They work ed before elect* u and then went up to the polls like—ahem—men.” “Well, I have no objection to that. I don’t want to rob them of their credit. All honor to tho women who rid us of boodlcrs aud incompetents.” “They acted nobly,” chimed in old Hobbs, “but much was due to the splen did leadership and wonderful genius for organization of that Miss Claybum. She is indeed a great girl. You know her, Agnow, don’t yon?” “Ah, yes, yes, of course,” stammered Tom. “Well, we’ll expect you to see that sho is one of tho patronesses on ‘ladies’ day.’” As soon as Tom could get out he hur ried away, mentally kicking himself for a weak fool. And ho called himself by no milder name when ho found Helen CJayburn at homo a half hour later. He explained it all to her, not for a moment sparing himself. ^ —' “I said that somothfttg'Iiad happened to vex yojx./'^'said Helen, “but, oh, Srr knew yon would come to your senses. But aren’t you afraid of me as a new woman? Just think, Tom, I’ve been elected president of tho Woman’s Social Purity club and won the annual medal for tho best muffins at tho cook ing school. Isn’t that ominous?” Thoro was a look in her eyes and a half humorous little tremor in her voice that made him clasp her in his arms as he said: “I don’t care if you’ve been elected sheriff if you’ll just forgive mo aud take mo back to your heart again. I don’t care how new a woman you arc, just so you are mine. ”—Chicago News. Warren Hastings’ Law Expenses. Hastings was in his sixty-third year when ho was acquitted, after a trial which lasted seven years. His costs amounted to £100,000, which seems a pretty heavy lawyer’s bill—it is at the rate of over £14,000 a year—though, no doubt, heavy expenses were contracted before tho trial began in the preparation of evidence. Tho printed brief delivered to counsel for the defense extended to 24 folio volumes, aud Law’s retainer was 500 guineas. Hastings memorialized tho house of commons to grant him com pensation, but Pitt, to whom tho peti tion was sent, refused, iu^» curt note, to submit it to tho sovereign, though ho did not hesitate, as chancellor of tho ex chequer, to debit the country with the enormous costs of the prosecution. But tho court of directors of tho East India company behaved very Well. They re solved to grant Hastings a sum of £71,- 080 as an indemnification for his costs and an annuity of £5,000 for life. It will hardly bo believed that tho board of control, of which Daudas was tho head, refused to sanction these pro posals, as excessive, and ultimately Hast iugs received from tho directors £50,000 down aud £4,000 a year for life. We pre same that he settled his bill of costs for 10s. in. tho pound, aud histbreo counsel, Law, Plumer and Dallas, might well have foregone some of their fees, for tho trial brought them so much reputation that tboy all attained to tho highest posts on the bench. —Saturday Review. Marble Malting. Tho example furnished by nature in tho production of marble from chalk by water, the latter percolating gradually and steadily through the chalky depos its, dissolving the chalk particle by par ticle aud crystallizing it, monutain pres sure effecting its characteristic solidity, it is now found may be the basis of ac complishing similar resul ts by a resort to chemical processes. Slices of chalk aro for this purpose dipped into a color bath, staining them with tints that will imi tate any kind of marble known, tho same mineral stains answering this end as aro employed in nature, ^or in stance, to produce the appearance of the well known aud popular verde antique an oxide of copper application is resort ed to, and in a similar manner green, pink, black and other colorings are ob tained. The slices after this are placed in another bath, where they are harden ed pud crystallized, coming out to all intents and purposes real marble.—Lon don Decorators’ Gazette.

INCREASING PARK AREAS. Extemtlon In Sice and Number of the Pleas* nre Grounds of American Cities. At tho time of the acquisition of tho now aud extensive parks in the annexed district (provided for by an act of tho legislature in 1884 ami legally acquired and paid for in 1889) Now York city had only 1,094 peros 0 f park land, com pared with an :uea of 5,000 acres in Philadelphia and 3,000 in Chicago, among American cities, aud 5,000 acres in Berlin, 8,000 in Vienna, 22,000 in London aud 172,000 in Paris. Tho insuf ficiency of New York’s park area had led to tho appointment of a special com mission for the acquisition of new park lands, aud these were acquired to the extent of 3,800 additional acres, at a total cost to the city of |9,800,000, ex clusive of the sums paid for tho smaller parks in the more thickly populated parts of tho town, the last of these sites being at Mulberry bond aud Corlcars Hook. With theso acquisitions the park area of New York is 5,174 acres. A similar increase in tho park area of other American cities has been noticed recent ly. Chicago has four parks of more than 200 acres each—Jackson park, the site of the World’s fair; Washington park, not very far from it; Lincoln park, in the north end of town, aud Humboldt park, on tho West Sido. Cleveland has in a shoit time increased its park area from 200 to 900 acres by tho purchase of laud for small parks in six districts of town. St. Louis has a park area of 2,100 acres, San Francisco 1,190, and Philadelphia 8,175. Tho park area of Baltimore, which was 700 acres seven years ago, is now 911, including Druid Hill park, one of the finest in tho United States. The extension cf tho park sys tem in American cities has been so rapid of Into that only four largo cities had cn Jan. 1 more than 1,000 population to an aero of park area within their municipal limits. Of these four cities, one, Cleve land, has already acquired additional park land; another, Indianapolis, has a largo park for the n.70 of its inhabitants a little beyond tho city line and, a third, Brooklyn, has a commission, am thorized by an act of the legislatnro in 1892 to acquire land for park purposes. By tho annexation of tho former county towns of Kings county which aro now an integral part of the city cf Brooklyn 130 additional acres have been added to tho former 030 of park land, exclusive of cither the Ocean or tjio Eastern park way. The area of Efc&spcct park Is 523 acres, and has, besides, half a dcxt'U snmj^Jark.s, of which Washing ton parkis tho largest. The city cf New ark is behind ether American munici palities in park area, n deficiency which, it is said, tho Trenton legislature at this year’s session will he asked to correct by tho appointment of a commission with authority to buy additional land. One legislative condition which is fa vorable to tho extension of park areas in American cities is the practice of pro viding for purchases by tho issuance cf bonds (o bo paid at a future date, aud only tho annual interest on which is to be met from the proceeds of taxation. By this means park lands may bo secur ed without additional burdens upon tho taxpayers of any city, aud taxpayers, it is well known, aro not at all relnctaut to incur obligations which others will liquidate. Alt over tho United States, in tho west as well as in tho south, where tho facilities for parkmakieg aro perhaps bettor than anywhere else, tho size and number of parks aro being in creased aud tho landscape beauties of parks developed and extended.—Now York Sun. A Forgotten Eortane. One of tho great capitalists in New’ York, a man whoso achievements by reason of their magnitude cause his name to bo as familiar to tho public as that of almost any man in New Ycik, went into tho safe deposit vaults one day aud gave to tho manager an envel ope which he said contained 2,000 shares of Northwestern stock. Ho did not want to put this stock in his vault for reasons best known to himself. Tho envelope was given to an employee, who did not know its contents, who was in structed to place it in his own private vault until called for, and with that ar rangement the capitalist seemed content. A few months later this capitalist was in a great state of mind. Ho cculd not find anywhere among his possession a block of 2,000 shares of Northwestern stock. Ho could not say whether it had been lost or stolon. At last he gave a bond to the railroad company and re ceived for it new stock, aud tho old issue was canceled. At tho beginning of tho following year tho deposit company’s employee asked that ho might be relieved of the responsibility of caring for the cap italist’s envelope, although ho did not know what it contained. The capitalist was sent for and tho envelope given to him. He himself received the envelope in apparent ignorance of its contents until he opened it and found within the missing 8,000 shares/of tho par value of $200,000. The whole trans action was an ntter blank to him. If he had been a man of intemperate habits it might have been explained, but ho is practically a total abstainer.—Philadel phia Press. Cedi Rhodes. “Cecil Rhodes,” says Tho Saturday Review, “is a strong man of the kind that is never finished by a single stroke. And ho is strong with the strength of a coarse, ruthless, greedy egotism, the strokes of whoso piston rod force the minds aud the money of weaker men into its reservoir. As ho was at Oriel 20 years ago so hs is at Capo Town today— lonely, self absorbed, irritable and not to bo relied upon. He hates women, whom ho regards as unnecessary im pedimenta in tho campaign, and ho has no idea of friendship. Ho only recog nizes instruments to be used and ene mies to bo dealt with. Success accentu ated his defeats to the point of disease and made him so irritable, so self ab sorbed and so insolent that none but parasites could live with him.” Mattora According to the Fentiiteach. There is no mention of mules in the Pentateuch. Such breeding was contrary to tho law, but tho Assyrian sculptures, in later times, givo figures of mules, and they aro noticed in later books of tho Bible (Ezekiel xxvii, 14; Zcchariah xiv, 15). Nor aro domestic fowls no ticed, though known in Palestine in tho time of Christ and represented on cylin ders of tho Persian period. Thoro is no mention of tho citron, which is native to Media, bnt which was only known in tho Persian period in Palestine. Cot ton (Esther i, C) aud silk (Ezekiel xvi, 10) aro alike unnoticed in tho Torah, but occur in later books, while flax, cno of the most ancient materials in Asia aud in Europe, is so noticed. Tho cochi neal insect (“crimson,” Isaiah i, 18) may early have supplied a dye, for it i^ found on the leaves of tho Syrian oak, aud tho purplo dyo from tho galbanum or operculum of tho shellfish used at Tyre may date back to any ago, since it is found all along tho Palestine coast, as arc tho yellow croons or saffron and tho orange colored henna and kohol for blackening the eyes. Tho Hebrews do not appear to havo used horses before tho time of Solomon, but tho Cauaauites had horses and char iots, which aro noticed monumentally between 1700 and 1400 B. C., as well as later. Tho Egyptians also had char iots long before the Exodus. Trading caravans, such as led Joseph to Egypt, are noticed in the fifteenth century B. C., in Palestine, and ships on the Syri an coast as early as 1(500 B. (J.—Scot tish Review. Jlan’a Kcyt Friend. “Hov a dog, miss?” says Bob Jakin wisely. “They’re better friends nor any Christian.

A London merchant has a portrait cf himself engraved on his chocks so that when ho pays a bill his creditor has tho satisfaction of gazing upon the counter feit presentment of tho payer. Theso checks go to different towns and pass through various banks cud clearing houses. When tho gentleman who thus adver tises himself has his deposit book setth d at the cud of the month and gets back his canceled checks, it is a question whether ho is pleased or vexed. Tho portrait on each and every check is ornamented In a manner that is, to $ay tho least, startling, and the more hanks tho chock has passed the greater tho change. Tho first clerk through whoso hands the paper passes will adorn tho picture with a fierce mustache, tho next will add a bcMd, tho next a pair of goggles, and tho next may change tho aquiline nose to a retrousse.

There is an old and true saying to the effect that a littlo boy's first pair of trousers always lit if the pockets are deep enough. That this aud similar tru isms do not exaggerate the degree of lovo entertained by youth for its first wee trouser lots was well evidenced by the remark of a Franklinvilie yonngster who had recently attained to the digni ty of “real pants.” After exhibiting them to n largo circle of envying ac quaintances aud friends ho returned to his fond mamma with tho question, “Say, ma, do angels wear ’em?” Up was gently assured that tradition and Biblical history boro ont no such wild supposition. “Oh, well,” Freddie re plied, brightening up after a resulting fit of abstraction, “I guess wo don’t all have to go to heaven, do we?”—Phila delphia Call. Calling a Dog by Telephone. An intelligent hunting dog who had strayed away was found in New Hart ford, Conn., recently, and tho finder no tified tho dog’s owner in Winsted. The New Hartford man called up tho owner by telephone to arrange for returning the dog, and while talking asked the owner tho dog’s name. “Hold him np to the telephone,” was the reply. The part of the instrument was put agaihst tho dog’s car, aud the owner called, “Dash.” Tho dog recognized tho voice, and set up a barking which showed his joy.—Boston Herald. UPLAND RICE. Cultural Note* of General Interest Con cerning This Valuable Cereal. The land is first bedded ns for any other crop, which in this country aver ages three foot from center to center of beds. Then from April 1 to 15, as op portunity admits, tho seed is planted. Run a scooter furrow in center of bed, drop every 13 or 18 inches n good sized pinch of seed, say about 25 or 30 to the hill; then cover with a hoe or ewcep. Another plan extensively in vogue, where.time has not been found to bed the laud before plauting'time, is to inn a scooter or an 8 inch shovel in the mid dle, drop the seed as above and bed out on it. Either plan seems to yield equal success in getting a stand, though in tho latter a longer time is required for tho seed to come up. When tho rice is up two or three inches high, it is hoed, and what grass is in the bunch that cannot bo reached with a hoe is pulled out with tho fin gers. This is hardy ever necessary after first hoeing, tho rice generally being able to fight its own battles on what ground tho bunch covers. From tho first working until laid by in July or August, according to time of planting, it is cul tivated exactly as corn with this excep tion : If from any cause it cannot bo worked with the regularity necessary with corn, it does not tako “hard stalk,” nor docs it seem to bo much injured if it occasionally misses a working en tirely. If tho rice is planted solely for feed ing purposes, it is generally cut when in the dough stage to prevent any of the grain from shattering. Tho most gen eral plan, though, is to wait till tho heads are ripe—which is readily dis cernible—cut with reap hook, or two hands make good time by ono of them grasping tho entire bunch in his two hands, while tho other cuts it down with r. grass blade—tho latter is much less timun.e, requiring less stooping. After cutting and tying in bandies it is shocked in tho field for a few days, when a wagon with closely built body is driven close to tho shocks and the rice is thrashed by grasping tho bundles by the butt ends and whipping the heads against tho inside of tho wagon body, tho bundles being thrown aside for an other wagon to pick up. By this process of thrashing all the grains not thorough ly ripe adhere to the stalk, leaving the latter a most excellent feed, combining grain and forage, and tho former of a uniform ripeness for planting or hull ing, says the writer cf the foregoing in tno Louisville Homo aud Farm.
