Tomton, in Scribner, TtfO SHIPS. Two cirls in the kitchen of a plain, old-fashioned house were bmy sewing, tho elder rapidly running a machine, the younger trimming a straw hat with odds and ends of ribbons, which sho tried in vain to coax into some appearance of i res nn ess. "How docs It look, Mattief" she asked anxiously, holding it off a little, and slowly turning it around. ' Mattie looked up from her machine without stopping its quick motion, turned one comprehensive glanco upon mo nac ana saiu, :iinpulsively : "Like a Jast year's bird's nest" )"Oh, dear," said Dolly, flushing all over her pretty, worried face, and toss ing the poor little hat into a corner. "What is the use, any way We may as well give up and go to the poor house first as last.'' Til novor give up, first or last," said Maltie. " Somewhere and somehow I know thore must bo something better for us, and we are sure to find it sooner or later; but in tho meantime I can't afford to waste any of my sticnth in pretend ing. Our clothes are old and shabby and dingy, and it's of no use trying to make them look anything else." Dolly gave a sigh that touched Mat- ue s ncart. "Poor little Dol!yI It's too bad for you; your e so sweet and pretty aud pa tient Just wait till my ship comes in, "An' you shall hoe siller. And wear a goold ring." Dolly smiled. "That was what father always said when we wanted anything. I used to believe in that ship as much as I believed in next year, and sometimes I indulge uiji.ii iu urenming auoui ic now and fancy what it will bring us." Mattiesetthe last stitches with Kns compressed, and began iolding thecoarse shirts on which she working into a com pact pile. "Arothey finished!" asked Dolly. ".No; I'll sew on the buttons to-night; Pm going out to look for our ship." Mattie put on a hat older and more openly ugly than Dolly's aud walked down tho street with her firm, rapid tread. Once she turned to look back at the smalt brown house that was the only inheritance her father had left to his wifo and girls a fortuno that seemed indefinitely smaller, now that the mother had gono also, after a protracted sick ness that had consumed the last dollar from tho salo of he orchard and garden. Tho coarse sewing, with which the girls managed to keep soul and body together, was certaiuly better tbnn nothing, and was considered a rcspcctablo resource, but at best it was working with starva tion swinging a merciless lash over their heads. - t-ho went where many a poor soul had Ce with perplexities that seemed no y's business to the minister. No. doubt in that penurious, poverty-stricken community the good man had perplexi ties of his own, but that only helped him to sympathize with other people, and few households held any secrets from. The old housekeeper, knitting on the porch, welcomed Mattio kindly. The minister was away; "gono to South Adams to 'lend a funeral," but she was looking for him every minuto. Matt e went to the study, and turned wear ly from tho rows of solemn old books to find refreshment in the papers upoa the table that seemed so much more modern and human. There was a story that looked tempting with its spicy bits ol conversation, but this was Chap ter XX. Then there was a sermon, letters from a traveler, answers to miscellaneous queries, household hints and economics, at which Mattio smiled grimly, w.th the feeling that she could open some depths of experience in that line herself, and at lost a letter from a woman addressed to the editor, complaining thut tho world was out of joint and in need of regulat ing. "So it is," thought Mattie, nodding assent as heartily as if the writer had been sitting there in the leather-covered chuir opposite her. As she read her dark face flushed, and her breath came more rapidly. Why, here was a woman in desperate need of help, and here was she, asking only the chance to holp her, and they were but twenty miles apart. But then, perhaps, the letter was just made up and put in the paper; perhaps there was no Mrs. K. L. Howe, aud ut the thought Matt e threw down the paper and went to meet the minister who was coming in at the gate. He smiled at her impatience and seated himself very amiably to read the letter, which would never have attracted his notico. He smiled again when he look up at her and quite agreed with ber that the writei was probably a fiction of somebody's brain, created to make forcible the undoubted truth that there were scores of women with beautiful homes whose wealth brought them nothing but bondage, be cause of the impossibility of obtaining the help of intelligent, dependable caio taking servants, while there was a great multitude of women in need of homes and driven to all manner of muket-hifts for a mere livelihood, who might, if they would, supply just this service, with mutual satisfaction and benefit. The problem was to bring them together. "Iiut if the letter were geuuine, my child, "asked the minuter, "what theui" "Then," said Mattie, promptly, "I would write to the womau and ask her to let me try. I should like nothing better than to be her housekeeper. I de light ia housekeeping; )'m a born 900k, and Dolly would be perfectly happy with two babies to cuddle and sew for." The minister looked at her doubtfully. "1 suspect it is only the rosy side of her work that ths lettor writer describes; there must be a Rood many disagreeable things about the position of cook or nursery matt." "There are many unpleasant things about our present position," began Mat tio, but stopped abruptly. Not even to tho minister would sho have owned that thry were actually pinched sometimes for suitable food. "Do you think," she asked, hesitating ly, "there would be any impropriety In my writing to this lady to inquire!" "Not in the least; I will forward your letter with a line to the editor. Why not write horei" he continued. And with the promptness of despera tion Mattie seized the venerable goose- quill with which alone the minister thought it possible to write his sermons, and penned upon a if i eat square sheet a brief, ladylike lotter. Tho minister' endorsement was also brief, to tho effect that the writer was a sensible, practical girl, tolerably well educated, and would, in bis estimation, be a benediction in a family such as that described in the communication signed Mrs. . L. Howe. The joint letter found its way in due time to tho sanctum of a-puzzled and amused editor, who frowned and laughed alternately over its contents, naif ctis posed to toss it into the waste basket, but finally nut it iu his pocket with dozen other documents. It might have remained there indefinitely, lor trie ed itor was a young man, and had no per sonal interest in the domcstio problem, but, dininir that day with his s'ster, his serene enjoyment was suddenly disturbed by a series of dull thumps apon the stairs, followed by piercinor screams. "There 1" said Mrs. Lattimcr, rushing away, "blic s let the baby fall down stairs; I always said she'd kill itl I shall dismiss her the minute Fred gets back !" she punted, rettirninjr with the baby. never draw an easy, breath except when tho children are asleep. "Oh, by the way, Florence," replied her brother, "I've got hold of a solution for all your domestic difficulties. Never say I'm not practical again. Here are two servants for you made to order a cook and a nursery maid natives, sis ters capabiej educated, warranted by the minister; what more could you ask!" "liaymond, what on earth are you talking about!" "It's all here, you can see for yourself. The fact is, I've been thinking a good deal about this labor ouest ion; and one evening I wrote a letter for tho Journal purporting to have come from Mrs. E. L. Howe, letting forth her troubles with servants, and appealing to the host of respectable, unemployed women for help." "You miserable humbug! I read it with a sympathizing heart, and meant to write to her myself our cases are so much alike only I forgot it" "Well, here comes a letter from a rus tic maiden, who speaks for her sister and herself, and proposes to undertake the job. She in serious earnest ton, and I'm quite impressed by her letter. JuU read it." V.Mrs. Lattimer read with a critical not to say skeptical air, "I'd sooner have Bridget with all her peppery temper. Deliver me from supe rior, I'm as-good -as-you-aro. servants. I intend to bu mistress in my house, and I want servauts and not companions and friends." . "All right, you have my approval there; but I thought the trouble was you were not niistro s. They obey just far enough to oiaoie tnem to Keep their places aud draw the r wages, and they have no conception of any Other kind of service. Now, if I were a housekeeper I should try these girls; certainly you couidu t be worse oil. 'If you wore a housekeeper you would do just as tho rest of us do bear the ills wo know rather than tempt the un known." "Perhaps so; I'm profoundly thankful I'm not a woman, to go on doiug a thing to all eternity because my grand mother did it before me, and my neigh bors would th'uk it 'so queer' of me to try any now way." "What are you going to do about tho letter You really ought to answer it." "So I shall. 1 shall tell the minister I have forwarded the letter to Mrs. K. L, Howe, who will correspond with him if she decides to pursue the matter." If the editor's letter, proving that Mrs. E. L. Howe was no myth, created deep and profound excitoment in the little circle ol tnreo, what can Le said 01 the effect produced by a letter addressed to Miss .Mattio Harper, offering to her and her sister service in the household of the writer, with wages and conditions very carefully specified? To be sure, it was signed Mrs. Frederic Lattimer, but of course one would use a fictitious name in a paper. The letter was written in very plain terms; it said servants, and not "hired girls" which was supposed in liingham to lie a title of greater tespect, and stipulated that the engagement was only for a month of trial, at the end of which tune, if Airs. J.altimer be not ploased, she would pay their expenses home. "it'll come pretty tough on you, Marthv Harper, being looked dowa on as a servant," said the kind old house keeper. "You wou't have any 'sociation with the fain ly. ' 'I don't tare to associate with the family: we dou't associate with the men we make shirts for. suiu Mattie. shall have Dolly, and Dolly will have me, and we shall both have tho babies. I dou't think we shall care for much more." It was only at Mattie's earnest entreaty that the minister forbore to accompany them to their new home. "It would look as if we expected to be received as something more than we are," she said to Dolly. tnd I want har . ViW ,. . . understand that all we ask is fair wages for fair work." So they went alone. - A smart looking maid answered their ring at the door bell calculated their social standing at a glance, and left them in the hall while she went for her mistress. Presently the girl came back and conducted them to the kitchen. Muttie's eyes noticed that the floor was unswept, the range greasy, and a pile of unwholesome looking tow els lay ou the table; for Bridget bad been goue a week, and a procession of supplies, each one worse than the last, had held brief possession of her king dom. "I am so glad It isn't a basement kitchen, aud see what a large nice yard," she said to Dolly, whose eyes were ready to overflow. Something came clattering along thfl hall, and the door was pushed open to admit a beautiful boy of four, drawing a tin horse after him. Oh, you darling 1 exclaimed Dolly, rapturously. Uut the boy drew back little, fay ing: "Where's Bridget?" And in a minute the nurse pounced upon him and dragged him off, calling him "a little torment and a bad, naughty boy." Mattie's first bread, rashly andertakea with Bridget's home made yeast, was an utter failure, and tho baby clung obsti nately to Johanna in spite of Dolly's blandishments, while Mrs. Lattimer, knowing nothing of housekeeping her self, hnd not a particle of.paticnco with ignorance in others, and clung to her deep persuasion that nothing but the most vigorous putting down could ever keep those girls from disagreeable as sumption. Iiut long before tho end of the month Dolly reigned sweet and se rene in the nursery, wore her nurse's cap without an uncomfortable thought, and drank in delight from the shaded park, with its flowers and birds and fountains, as unconscious of bitter servi tude as the children she loved and guarded. "As for Mattie," Mrs. Lattimer con fessed to her brother, "she's invaluable, and I shall never be able to endure an ordinary servant again, but if she hadn't known her mind better than I did mine we would have parted the very first week. That's one blessed thing your old journal has done for the labor ques tion, and if my ship ever comes in I'll endow the paper out of gratitude." "Ah, I always felt that I teas born to be a benefactor," said the editor. "Your ship would have come iu long ago if you bad called me for a pilot." "And which ono did he marry?" asks the saucy girl at my elbow. Neither f them, my dear. Pretty Dolly, in the course of time, went back to Hiugbamand married a farmer's boy, who had worked his way through col lege, and was not shamed of his wife for having made her way in the same fashion; and Mattie, for aught I know, is a middle-aged and respectable old maid, living oa her savings, and edu cating heathen ia Africa. For this story has nothing to do with marrying or giving in marriage, but with the fact that a good many ships that are Con tinually at sea might oma prosperously in, if they would join comany with each other, without regarding tli fact that one might be a merchant vessel, and the other simply a lugger. Congregation' alitt. Implements of the National Game. The national game of baseball has taken so deep a hold upon the youth of this generation asserts the New York 2'riliuns, that to keep pace with the de mand for balls and bats big 'factories have sprung up in many localities, and hundreds of working men and women gain a liveliMiPd turning the bats over their lathesTSS sewing the covers by hand over the inner core of the sphere, which is now made by machinery. Bats are shipped to this city by the carload from Michigan and West Virginia, and it is estimated that 50,000 cords of ash and willow wood were thus used last winter for this summer's trade. The bulk of the bats are used by amateur players, of course. Willow is the favorite material for the popular bat, as)ts lightness is combined with a sufficient amount of strenth for youthful players, and West Virginia turns out tho best grade of this variety. Tho superior toughness of ash makes it indispensable for the great strain which a professional player subjects it to. and Arichigan's forests furnish nn inexhausti ble supply of this tough wood. The manufacture of balls demands more care. The better class of balls, those of regu lation size and weight, as prescribed by the professional rules, are covered with horse hide, stretched with double linen thread, well waxed and smoothed by machinery.- The inner core is of rubber carefully wound about with yarn by hand until the correct size is obtained. The practice ball, or boys' ball, is cov ered with sheepskin, and is more cheaply and roughly made. The core is usually compose anf leather scraps, which are pressed into a spherical shape by ma chinery and have no more yarn wound around them than is necessary to hold the scrauTtgeth6r until the cover is put on. Tafesiga of cover now iu uni versal use differs widely from the old "star" pattern. It consists ot two strips of leather cut something like the figure eight, or even like the heelless sole of a baby's shoe. These, when laid over the sphere, exactly cover it and are more easily sewn together than any other pat tern, and if the man who invented it had only patented his idea he might have been reaping a fortune for hi pains. The City or Quito. If it were not for the climate, Quito would be in the midst of a perpetual pes tilence ; but notwithstanding the pre vailing tilihiness, there is vory little sick ness, and pulmonary diseases are un known. Mountain fever, produced by cold and a torpid liver, is the commonest type of disease. The population of the city, however, is gradually decreasing, and is said to be now about sixty thou sand. There were five hundred thou sand people at Quito when the Spaniards came, aud a huudred years ago the pop ulation was reckoned at double what it is now. Half the houses in the town are empty, and to see a new family moving iu would be a sensation. Most of the finest residences are locked and barred, and have remained so for years. The owners are usually political exiles who W"T1I,8 elsewhere, and can neither "Olnorreut their properly. Political revolutions are so common, and their re sults are always so disastrous to the un successful, that there is a constant strain of fugitives leaving the State. Anuri-.an ilugazint.

OUTDOOR SPORTS OF 1VOHDLY . 8SUIBE3 AND NOBLE DAMES. those Who Follow the Hound Ite qnire a Trusty Steed and a Good Seat Reymard's Cunning. Coursing with the greyhound and hunt ing the hare with harriers is a kindred Enjoyment to fox hunting, but of a more selfish nature, as they lack tho first named altogether the presence of that necessary and charming element, the ladies. It may not bo out of place, says W.Fen wick in the Detroit Fret lYcu, to give some minor particulars in connection with tho sport in question, as conducted in England, not generally known. To begin then, the pedigree of each hound it is exceedingly improyer to say "dog" is kept as carefully as a race horse, and although to an un practiced eye all the pack looks as much alike as peas, yet the huntsman and "whips" if not the master knows each by name and sight, and could, perhaps, tell the pedigree of either without reference. tile talking once with a huntsman in his house ad joining the kennels, I was surprised that he could instantly detect a quarrolsome member by hl growl, which would be quickly silenced by naming and threaten incthe offenderl Hounds after the hunt ing season are fed but once a day, when they have a "lively gorge" from troughs, the only meat being boiled up with bis cuits, of which the meal largely con sists. They answer quickly to the call of their names at feeding time by the huntsman at the kennel door, and when they appear, in his judgment, to have had sufficient, they are named to retire from the banquet, but often withalet-me-stay-a-bit-longcr look. The pack, too, is exercised several times daily, and is not dangerous to strangers in the open, but should you appear ia an enclosure the "spotted beauties" immediately give tongue, whereupon a wise person would make himself conspicuous by his absence. A good hunter requires nerve, a good "seal" and a trusty steed. If Ihe ap pointed meet is at the residence of the master or some other member of the hunt, a breakfast profuse with cham pagne only increases the feeling of eager no.ss for the frav. The busy haunts of man are left and covers drawn till the welcome "gone awav" succeeds the lure tongue of a trusty hound and tha sport begins in earnest. I remember when a boy watch ing a "draw" from a hill, when lieynard, unobserved by anyone but my noble self, broke cover and passed by me; not realizing the importance of calling on the pursuers, I stood there with all Ihe dignity of the boy on the burning aeck, with the proud satisfaction that sooner or later the whole "hunt" must pass in review before me. This occurred a few minutes later when the huntsman, being told in reply to an inquiry that I had seen the fox pass, asked why I had not shouted. I was lucky to be out of range of his whip. Imagine the chagrin thut must have filled the hearts ot the hunt ing fraternity of Ireland when they were turned back by the ruthless tenants, or of a daring rider listening to the music of the pacK as they passnis country uomain, and who, Owing to his having had a spill, Is obliged to be absent against his will. I have omitted to mention that the early season is called cub hunting, when, should a son of the master be making his debut he may have to suffer from the huntsman the "indignity" of having the gore of the first fox killed, smeared over his face, which "initiation" is called "blooding." Of course there is no greater pest of the poultry yard than the fox, and yet as an encourage.ncnt to small farmers in some parts of England not to destroy this noctural marauder, their claims for lost poultry are paid once a year and a willful destroyer of these animals is looked upon by the hunt with much contempt and his property seldom, if ever, tried. So many excellent stories of Reynard's cunning have been recorded the au thenticity of which I do not doubt thai it would be superfluous to add to them here, but I may say that I have knows instances of a "long brush ' after a fox which resulted in no "brush," the cau dal appendage having been omitted by nature or more probably removed by some hearthless opponent of tho chase into whose hands Key nurd had some tim fallen much to the disgust of the first in at the death who would have to be content with some other limb as a "tro phv" of the occasion. The lato Kev. Jack Pussell, who bore tho soubruiuetof "the hunting parson," was notorious in England for many years for the profound interest he took in the noble sport. He was often known to ride o church in hunting costume, change it in the vestry and perform marriage ceremony aud then appear at the covert side soon after. The Princi of Wales took a very friendly interest in him. In conclusion, the topic has 1 financial savor about it, as it is custom ary to say the hound first finding the quarry gave a welcome note, and that later oa the pack received a check from the fox, probably because they were without a scent! Deceitful Sponges. Temptingly displayed along Four teenth street are baskets of beautiful white sponges, offered at marveluuslj low rates. K is probably worth the ex perience to pay the few cents demanded for an attractive looking sponge inas much as one will find that those sponges are not the clean aud airy things they seem to be. After a year's immersion in water, hot or cold, it will be found that the sponge still retains the consistency of a petrified and perforated rock. The clear white color is due to the bleaching effect of a chemical of such peculiar power that the bleach remains long after the sponge itself has disappeared. n York Triburu. Robust Mail Carriers. In many of the back districts of Ken tucky the mails are oftuo carried as far as thirty-five miles by men who walk the whole distance once a day. A local paper thus describes one of these sturdy carriers: "Mr. Dougherty is very accommodating to persons living along the line (he ought to be.) He will carry a saddle, bee-hive, pup, or even a dog, if he is not too big, aud he is offered enough. He will rid a horse through for any on for a quarter, and carry tui mail pouches oa his shoulder." HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. The Rose of Order.

Builder. Gathering Hose Leaves. The delightful work of gathering rose leaves is best done early in the morning or late ia the evening. Shake into a wide basket the petals from rores that are about to fall to pieces. The rose leaves shou'd be spread out on a sheet laid down in a dry place where the wind will not disturb them. Rose leaves gathered on different days should not be mixed, but each collection oa the sheet should be stirred and turned every day. when they are all nearly dry they can be heaped together an I finished off on another sheet. When quite dry put up in self-scaling fruit jars. These dried leaves alone, packed ia as tight as they can be pressed down, may be used to till a fancy jar which, wheo left opea for a short time, will perfume a room if the rose leaves are stirred up a little. AdW lork World. A Useful Contrivance. For the benefit of tired mortals who recline in hammocks most of the time during the warm months there is a con trivance from which, if properly made, they will derive much ease and comfort, Make a square frame of wood and cover with auy light fabric, and place a tmcK fringe of the same at the bottom. To the ton of tho frame nail three pieces of board, two at the sides aid one in the center, the three meeting together, ot attach cords in the same manner by which hang to a screw above the ham mock. On one side of tho frame attach cords as for a kite, and have a cord long enough to put through another screw oa a post on a line with the side ou hammock, which, when swung, w cause the frame to swing and stir a de lightful breeze. A damp towel can be attached to the bottom, instead of the fringe, during the intense heat. A string tied to a screw on another post if pulled. will swing tho hammock. If this is too much exertion let some one else pull it This frame, with more adornment, can be utilized as a fly fao. JJe.ro U Free Preu.
