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.

in another bath, where they are harden

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

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

Fuii For Bank Clerk*.
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,

Uta -First Trousers.
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

owner tho dog’s name. “Hold him np
to the telephone,” was the reply. The
part of the instrument was put agaihst

“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.
