The; artist was painting an angel. Why do you always paint your an gels with dark hair and black eyes?" asked the friend. It's a great secret, and it might get me into trouble if you were to give it away." Well, the reason I paint my angels with black hair and eyes is because my wife is a blonde." Texas Sittings.

Bow Cardinal Maonlag lUgarded Worn. aw Cardinal Manning disliked very much the little paragraphs written about women of fashion. "I do think," be said, "a woman'a appearance and toilet should be sacred from the public. Ahl poor thing," he used to say of one who had placed herself beyond the pale, "she bas suffered." Never a word of censure or of blame. During one or two years I was a neighbor of bis, writes a woman who knew him well, to a London paper, and ran in very often to see him, and he always had leisure not only to receivo me, but any friends I might recommend.

I don't believe in bis whole pure life that he ever did or said or thought an unkind thing. Spends On Day la sled. A famous English beauty, Lady Londonderry, has a peculiar and successful system for keeping her youthful freshness. Although she is perfectlj weTl she lies in bed one day in ten, sleeping in the morning of this day of rest until she wakens naturally. After a hot bath and a light breakfast she goes back to bed and rests quietly in a darkened room unttl o'clock, when she dresses in a peignoir, dines in her room, and sits about idly until 10 o'clock, when she goes to bed again.

No social event is considered of sufficient importance to cause the lady to give up this periodical retirement from the hurry and excitement of modern living. Olierlln's Benefactress. Oberlin College has good cause to feel grateful to Miss Julia Dickinson, of Coldwater, who died recently at Nassau, on the Bahama Islands. By the terms of her will she makes that institution the recipient of $10,000. Of that sum 820,000 is for the endowment of the chair of the lady principal, now occupied by Mrs.

A. A. F. Johnston, and 20,000 for the department of physical culture of women, now in charge of Dclphine lianna. Miss Dickinson had already given smaller sums to this department, and had aided young women to pursue their studies, in college.

Such a woman is justly placed among the world's benefactors How Frouch Girls Are Educated. The French maiden is educated after a very different plan from that which governs the American girl's instruction. She enters at 5 years the school, where she remains for six, ten, or twelve years, until her education is finished. The schools open in September and continue until August, with no vacation except a few days at Christmas and Easter, and no Saturday holidays. Under this system the teachers thoroughly understand their pupils, and lay out for them a course of study in which there is gradual and constant development, but no hurry or cramming for promotion in higher schools or colleges.

A Simple Cure for a Cinder. On of the simplest and most effective cures for that often serious affection to a traveler, a cinder in the eye, is that of a common flaxseed.

A. Bcac'a is a woman of whom Boston feels proud. She is only in her 25th year, but has written a mass for solos, chorus, orchestra and organ, which was performed recently by the Handel and Iiaydyn society of Boston, This piece is said to be the most important composition ever attempted by a woman. The mass consists of ten parts, all of which are treated with skillful discrimination and with the most sensitive apprecia tion of the demands of their texts. The reposeful dignity of form and the solemnity and fervor which character ize the work give convincing evidence of the healthful vigor of the composer's mind and of her originality in construction and expression.

Mrs. Beach was born in Nenniker, N. in 1887, and has received her musical education in this country As a resident of Bos ton she has given it the honor of listening to the original production of her work, and this is gratifying in no small degree to the pride of Bostonians, and deeply so to its musicians. Euibroldury as a Garniture. Embroidery is this year to 00 greatly favored, and already the leading houses are exhibiting very elegant, costumes finished with tins beautiful garniture, These are of plain China silk, sheer and beautifully tinted wool fabrics, zephyr goods, French ginghams, organdies, India muslins and silk grenadines.

More beautiful than ever are the Per sian gauzes for summer dancing toilets. with gay jardiniere borderings in shaded silks. They are to be made up over silk or satin de Lyon the shade of the gauze. These last-mentioned ex quisite fancies are not designed for general usage, nor were they intended for ordinary mortals. fortunately, however, there are left for these a little world of artistic and beautiful embroidered materials, which, although less elaborate in design and far less extravagant in price, have all the novelty, delicacy and beauty of effect of the more costly textiles and patterns.

They Sell Houses and Lots. Mrs. M. E. Clarke of Buffalo has been engaged in the real estate and building business for several years in that city with great success.

She has planned and built eleven houses since last March. All who have nearly lost their lives in the worry and care entailed by the building and overseeing of one house will appreciate what a vast amount of work Mrs. Clarke has been able to accomplish. She has looked after every detail, bought the lumber, hired the men, and directed the work. Another Buffalo woman who is making money in the real estate business is Mrs.

James McNally. Mrs. McNally has been interested in real estate for several years, going into that business before her husband took it up. At present she is doing considerable building at Kenmorc, one of Buffalo's pleasant little resident suburbs. Should Women Smoke? The Hospital has got into trouble for advising women whose nerves can not bear the strain of small worries to try smoking, if their doctors recommend it.

But, says Mr. James Payn pertinently, why the general public should be more shocked at a lady being recommended to smoke tobacco than stramonium one is at a loss to conjecture. It will not be denied by any one short of a fanatic that a pipe allays the troubles of a man, and why shouldn't a few whiffs of a cigarette allay the worries of a woman? At present its mitigations among the fair sex are confined chiefly to the fast and the loose, but there is no more reason why it should be so than that the devil, as John Wesley observed, should have all the best tunes.

SICKLER SON Sell Dry Goods, these may be placed in the eye without injury; they shortly begin to swell and exude a glutinous substance that cov- cres the ball of the eye, enveloping any foreign substance that may be in it; then the seed and irritant may be washed out.

Keep a dozen of these seeds in a compartment in your purse, and they may.prove an invaluable acc essory. Clrls, Learn to Swim. An English miss, who has recently performed the noble act of saving a human life, is Gwendolin Evans, of Birmingham, aged 13. Her opportunity came while bathing on the seashore, and when Calmondeley Thompson, a London youngster of 10 years, overweighted, perhaps, by his name, was sinking in the heavy swell, she swam out and saved him. The Koyal Humane Society has given her a bronze medal.

She learned to swim at one of the Birmingham public baths, and can swim a mile at a stretch. Science and Violets. 'Violets while you wait" will be one of the inventions of the near future, and our pretty, preconceived romances about the modest little flower will vanish like the Pocahontas myth and the William Tell legend, for an un- poetical man in Paris has succeeded by means of electricity in forcing violets and sent a buach of his first successes, four hours old, to ex-Empress Eugenie, who was always surrounded by the fragrant blooms in the days of her glory. Virginia's Fat Man. Cabell Maddux is the champion fat man of Virginia.

He is the proprietor of the hotel at Orkney Springs and weighs 400 pounds net. When "Capt. Cab" rolls into the corridor of the St. James the clerk always gives him a double room. "Ah, you slim Jims are just jealous," he says when the boys be gin to poke fun at him.

"Theah ain't enough meat on one er yuh tuh feed a buzzard. Come down tuh my hotel an' I'll feed yuh intuh some sort of condl lion." Capt. Cab is a great sport His brother, Dr. Tom Maddux, was shot and killed in Maryland while defending the ballot-box from a crowd of heelers who were trying to capture it on election day.
