Trio Womanly Women. Oar wn prtrh p 23, the other a lit tle younger. They were pretty, and were Btylish'v dressed. ,V carriage stood At th Fourteenth street entrance Of WUUrd'J Ilo'el awaiting their p'eas ore. I. couM not bo snnursed that thev were in Tery distressful nuancial straits. They s;t at a table in ftae reception room of Willard'a devising, concocting, and instituting a telegraphic message to send to some friend. The elder one did the writing, and tcratchtng, and re writing, which used up six or seven TTestjrn Union blanks. The younger one scanned closely over the scrivener and furnished segg-stions at juai the Tlgbt time to make tba scrivener tear Tip blanks. 'We will be there to-morrow." That was wlat the wanted to say. That was what they did say in the vtrry first dudiIdt. "lluL." said the younger, "if we say We are corcta home we shall both have tO Blg!l it." "Carrie and 1 will be there to-mor row" That was the result of much mental effort in composing and ruuci. Ktrsieal exertion in erasinar. I guess that will do," said the younger, and the two seemed to breathe with that freedom which telle it great responsibilities unshouVJmd. "llo'd on." siid the elder, at the door "What ? ' asked the other. " Carrie an I will be tttrt to-mor row.' One. two. three, four. five, alx seven, only seven words." "Well ?" "Why. wi have to pay as much for seven words as we do for ten." Here was more difficulty. It would never do to piy for ten words and send only seven. That wonM he a reckless and a wicked waste. They proposed many ways to lengthen it bnt each time they talked off axew messag on their finders they found that they had either too tew or too many words. "l'ahaw !" exeiataced the younger one ; "whv didn't I think of it before ? I hav it." "Ifaveyoa? What?" "Why. of course. Leave It jusc as It is ami add, 'Yours c ry 'truly.' " If the yount lady had had an inspir ation she could not have looked proud er or it ; and as for the older one, she Simply looked on the sweet face before her R.i that of a wond-rful being. "C.rri and I will be there to- morrow. Yours, very truly." was the message that went through some operator's hands yesterday afternoon. The Mouth el a Miuil.

Miny ot the cheap derby hats that will be wrorn this season will be made of a new material of which the hatters have jast got hold. The stuff is called linters. It is the &Lort cotton left on the seed after the cotton has been ginned by the cotton raiser, lie eells the cot ton to the merchant, and the seed to a mill that makes Icottonsetd-oil. The miller puts the seed through a gin. es pecially made to clean short cotton from the seed. In an oil mill of small capacity several bales of cotton are ginned from tbe seed in this way. The fibre Is broken and very short, and up to few months ago the mills sold it to stuff bedding with. Its price was about half that of average cotton. Tbe colored people in the South were the buyers generally, bnt occasionally the mills would get a good, big order from ecocerns (bat made pillows and mats tresses. Suddenly somebody found out that it could be made to imitate felt for eheaphats. The experiment then of mak in hats of Haters was made on a large scale by a New York factory, and the hats were sold to retailers far introduc tion -very cheaply. The test showed that the hats stood wear, and the oil mills were at once called on by the man ufacturers to make contracts for all tht linters they could get off the cottousee.d. Now linters has gone away up in price, and is only a few cents a pound cheap er than cotton. The discovery is likely to have a lowering effect upon the ktnd of derbies which have sold for $3, and in fact some merchants are already j nsing the linters derbies as "leaders" for their other goods, selling them at half the cost ot tbe felt bat. Little Birds at !ea. Every dav birds are seen playing around the ship, and skimming up and down tbe wave boKows. They are lovely little tercs'and sea swallows, the latter no bigger than thrnshts. These fearless people of tbe air have not by auv means followed the ship from tbe land, living as gulla oftea will, on the waste thrown from the vessel. They are vague and casual roamers of the ocean, who. spring tbe great steamship from afar, sail close np to eee if is a rock or an island, and then skim away aeain on their own free and boundless business. Yonder tlnv bird, with purple and ttreen plnmage. his little breast and neck laced with silver, is distant 1.C00 miles at this moment from a drop of of fresh water, and yet cares no more for that fact than did tbe Irish squire who "lived twelve miles from a lem on." If his wings ever grow weary it is but to settle qnietly on the bosom of ret billow and suffer it for a time to rock and roll him amid the hissing spindrift, the milky flying foam and seAlare which forms and gleams ard disappears again upon the drk slopes. Wht-n he pleases, aetroke of the small red ro:t and a bea of the wonderful wing lannch him rff from the jargod ed of his billow, and he flits past at the rate of one hundred kno's an hour, langhlng steam and canvas to scorn, and etrlnar fr enm r.amls crag In Lab rador or Fundy, or bound, it may be homeward for eome island or marsh of tbe far-away Irish coast. riant In? an Orrhaad.

Tbe Chinese have a way of borrow ing and lending money under a system that tbey call Woo-ey, that allows al lows its members to borrow In a stated sum and repay it in installments. Any member of a Woo-ey who takes a share and does not wish to borrow himself obtains a good interest on tbe money he invests. Tbe plan of a Woo ry ie as follows: Ah Sing wants to borrow $100 and repay it in installments, so be starts a Woo-ey ; bis first s'ep is to find 20 persons who are willing to take a $5 share in a J100 Woo-ey. Ah Sine is known as the Woo-ey Tow, or head of tbe Woo-ey ; ibe shareholders are known as Woo-ey Chi. or children of tbe Woo-ey. The Woo-ey lasts for 20 months ; each Woo-ey Chi pays in $5 to tbe woo-ey Tow so that Ah Sieg ob tains bis 100. At tbe end of the month Ah Sing goes to each of the shareholders and asks for bids for the next loan ; each member puts his name and tbe amoant of interest he is willing to I ay on a slip of paper. Every mem ber has tbe right of borrowing once dur the Woo-ey. After the bids are all received they are opened and read and the money lent to the highest bidder. We will suppose that 2 per cent, is tbe highest bid. Ah Sing, who now pavs tbe first installment, has to pay in tbe tbe full amount of $Z, while the others deduct the 2 percent, and pay in J4.JK). When the next installment falls due there are two members who have to pay in tbe full amount, and so tbe Woo ev runs on. At the end of 15 or 1G months the Interest offered is often as high as 25 oi 30 per cent., but as 15 of the members have borrowed and so have to pay in the full amount of $5. it is only the four or five left who get tbe benefit of the heavy interest. Some times toward the last of the Woo-ey, when two or three different ones wish to borrow, the rates offered sre often as high as 75 per cent, and in one instance 100 per ceut. was bid on a $5 Woo-e. As there were three members that had not borrowed, tbe Celestial had only to pay the heavy premiun to two men. Sometimes the Woo-ey is as low as 50 cents a share, and I have known of Woo- eys as high as 550 a share. The Masses In India. The Indian peasantry has changed in no characteristic features from what it was in tbe early periods of the Aryan ace. In those dajs tbe tillage of the soil went on in the presence of contend ing armier. It was understood that j the cultivators were not io be molested by either party, and thns they were at liberty to cu'tirate relations of be nevolent neutrality, that Is, of Indiffer ence with regard to bjth. Nowhere in their history is it recorded that they ever spontaneously took up sword and buckler in defense of their immediate lord, or more distant overlord. They conld fieht when forced to do so. but it had to be In a canse that concerned themselves, without reference to 8ny quarrel that might be goin- on betwen their own chief and those of anyoutsid er. Io what respect have they 'changed since those remote times ? Si long as they are not harassed or plundered in tbe cultivation of their Lilliputian farms, they little care as to the form of govern ment under which they lead their laborl ous existence. The salt duty affect them very slightly. If the price of that uni versal condiment be low, tbey may in dulge in its use a little more freely ; if it I high, they deny themselves, or piy their money with grumbling. It is simply a baziar commodi'y, snd is lia ble to fluctuations like any other form of seasoning. They buy it from day to , dltv with the other malerials of lhelr , eimpie meal, and scarcely know if the ; Pinch they receive be a little greater or a little teas than usual.
