THE LAST RESORT.
BY HELEN FOKHE8T OltAVEB.
was a sunshiny afternoon in
n
May.
buds
late
The breezes that wooed apple-
into blossom, far off m country
wildernesses, served but to send clouds
of dust along tho city streets. But over
head the sky was blue and bright, all
dappled with white clouds, and Miss
Gill, Mrs. Aramis's forewoman, looked up
with a sigh, and thought of the old farm
in Ulster County, where she used to live
many, many years ago, when she was a
girl.
Mrs. Aaron Aramis was a fashionable
dressmaker iu Montagu street. Miss Gill
was second in command, and there were
six young girls who sewed in a big back
room, and a couple of "litters to super
intend. The spring fashions were advantage
ously displayed upon various wire forms
and waxen dummies around the show
room. Mrs. Aramis was in a curtained
recess by a window, checking off a large
order from tho South. Miss Gill stood
behind the counter, and a pale, pretty
young women, dressed iu mourning that
had lost its first freshness, was talking
earnestly to her.
"So you have no vacancies at all?" said
she.
Miss Gill shook her head.
"None," she replied. But I think if
von were to apply at Sevcrell's, next
door"
The pretty girl colored vividly.
"The place would not suit me," said
she. "The floor-walker "
And then she stopped suddenly.
"Yes, I understaud," said Miss Gill.
"Ho is rather disagreeable. I wonder,"
she added, within herself, "if this is the
girl I've heard of, . that old Pitch, the
floor-walker, was determined to marry,
whether she would or not. She is very
pretty. And I'm sorry for her, poor
thing!"
"I don't know what to do," wistfully
added the girl. "I am very poor, so
very poor, and there are so few ways for
a woman to cam her living. If one could
drown oneself, and be done with it. But
starvation is such a slow death."
At that moment tho creak of heavy
footsteps sounded on the stairs, and in
trudged a stout, elderly woman, witn a
black felt bonnet, and short gruy curb,
blown into sad confusion by the riotous
spring winds.
"Is this Mrs. Aramis's place?" de
manded she.
Miss Gill bowed courteously.
"I've heard a deal about it," said the
elderly woman. "Mrs. Judge Jexou, out
our way, bought a maroon silk droes
here once. It was dretful tasty. And
I was calculating to buy a black silk
dress myself. We hain't no good dress
makers at Eventown, so I sort o' thought
I'd buy it ready made. Got any nice
ones?
Miss Gill came out from behind the
counter. It was true that the old
woman's bonnet was cheap iu material,
and ancient iu make, and her general
attire entirely deficient iu effect; but
these eccentric people were often tho best
customers.
Miss Gill drew forward a handsome
costume, ubovo which was a wax face
simpered with perpetual smiles.
"How do you like this!" she said.
Old Mrs. Kliun started.
"I 'most thought it was alive, at first,"
she said. "That's an awful pretty dress,"
peering through Iter spectacles at the
loops and pulls and lace cascades .that
decorated the rich material. "What's
the price?"
"We could sell this," said Miss Gill,
making a mental calculation, "for one
hundred and tweutv-tive dollars. It is
worth more, but "
Again Mi's. Bliun started.
"A hundred and twenty-five
dollurs!" she echoed, "Why, that' more
thau lilinu s best team o horses cost,
couldu't think o' giving that for
dress."
Miss Gill pushed the wax-headed figure
back, nut without somo scorn in hur
movement, and took a big pasteboard
box from a drawer.
"Here is a bargain," said she
Mi-s. Blinn pricked up her ears at the
word.
"A surah silk, richly trimmed with
jets, which we can afford to sell at
seventy-five dollars."
Mrs. Blinn s countenance fell.
"Tain't no use talkin'," said she.
"I can't affort no such price as that."
Miss Gill closed the drawer with a
bong. (
"May I ask " began she.
"I'd set my price at twenty-five
dollars," said tho customer. "I don't
want none o' your fancy fixin's. Some
thing good anil plain would suit me!"
"We don't deal in any such quality of
goods as that," said Miss Gill, elevating
her nose and compressing her lips.
"I might give thirty, if I was put to
it."
"Quite out of the question," snid Miss
Gill. "Our price for making up the
material alone is thirty dollars."
Mrs. Blinn sighed, took up her um
brella and alligator bag, and slowly with
drew. Miss Gill uttered a sniff of dis
dain. "Tho idea!" said she.
"I don't know what pcoplo expert,"
observed Mrs. Aramis, from her recess.
Out on the pavement, however, as Mrs.
Blinn was unhitching the horse and
gathering up the time-worn reins, a pale,
pretty young womun accosted her with
timid eagerness.
"I be your pardon," said she, "but
I believe you did not suit yourself at Mrs.
Aramis's?"
"No," said Mrs. Blinn, "I didn't."
"Perhaps," hazarded Miss Frederick,
"I might be fortunate enough to "
"Be you a dressmaker?" said Mrs.
Blinn, turning the full focus of the spec
tacles directly on the girl's face.
"I make gowns yes."
Mrs. Blinn paused, with her foot on
the muddy wagon step.
"And," added Miss Frederick, "I can
undertake to make you a nice, plain
black-silk dress for twrmty-cight dollars."
"I'm willin' to pay that much," said
Miss Bliun. "When can you measure
me ?"
"To-morrow," said Miss Frederick.
"At No. , Sixth Avenue, at ten o'clock.
I will see about the material at once."
"I'll come, said Mrs. Blinn. "It's a
sort o' bother racketin' in and out of the
city, but there's to be a wedding in the
family, and I want the dress to wear
week after next."
"It shall be ready," said Miss Fred-
crick.
She watched the creaking vehicle jolt
down the street, and then went straight
to the neat little room of a friend of hers,
who had just opened an unpretentious
milliner's shop at No. Sixth Avenue.
"Jenny," said she, "I want to borrow
your room for an hour to-morrow. I've
got a customer, ana 1 can t tanenerto
the dark hall bed-room where I hiber
nate. And I want to paint a little sign,
and tack it up above yours for this oc
casion only
'"Miss FiiEOETtrcK, Dressmaker.'"
"You shall, and welcome," said kind
Jenny Plympton.
Mrs. Blinn came, and was duly tittea.
Miss Frederick showed her a sample of
the silk, which Mrs. Blinn looked at this
way and that, raveled out, and rubbed
between her thumb and finger in a know
ing maimer.
"It's (rood silk," said she.
"Yes," said Miss Frederick, "it is good
silk."
"When can you have it ready?"
"Bv Saturday night."
"I'd sort o' like to try it on nfore I pay
for it," hazarded the old lady.
"I will brinir it out myself and try it
on you," said Miss Frederick.
Mrs. Blinn brightened up at once.
"Will you?" said she. "I'll send tho
farm-bov iu for you. then, with the
wagon, and p'raps you'll stay over Sun
day with me? You look sort o' pale.
Mebbe it would do you good to breathe
tho country air."
"I should like it of all things!" said
Miss Frederick, eagerly.
She arrived on Saturday night, with
the dress carefully pinned up in brown
paper.
She tried it on, and Mrs. Blinn, Naomi
Blinn and Susanna Blinn all pronounced
it "a perfect fit."
"Such a rich silk !" said the old lad
"A deal better quality than Mrs. Judge
Jexon's!"
"Such pretty jet dangles all over it!"
said Miss busauua.
"Such a stylish cut!" cried Naomi
"Mu looks dreadful ladylike iu it!
wonder if Miss Frederick would make
me ouc?"
"A black silk?" cried Susanna, in
credulously.
"No. to-be-sure!" said Naomi. "An
alpaca, or a chaili, or something Eh
what's the matter? Is she sick?"
For, even as Miss Frederick was ad
justing the sash drapery of the new gown,
she sank fainting to tne lloor.
I think it must have been because
was so weak," she murmured, wheu at
hist breath came and sense returned to
her. "I have eaten nothing but bread
and water for a week."
Mrs. Blinn who, good soul, thought a
deal of her breakfust, her diuner and uer
suiuier. uttered a cry of dismay.

Oh, I am such a wicked fraud !" and she
burst into tears.
"Don't fret, dear 1" said kindly Mrs
Blinu, folding her iu her capacious arms
"The dress is beautiful. Didn't 1 say
what a fine quality it was? aud a good
deal nicer thau tho money would have

"Aud the tit," interposed Nuomi "it
just like the fashion plates."
"And," added Susanna, who had
little money of her own, which a maidi
aunt had left her, "I want you to make
a new dress for me, if you will. Aui
Suuire Eden's daughter wants her olive

Frederick, if only you will stay here."
"Here in Evantown?".
"Why not?" snid brave Naomi. "She
can have the little room in the wing, ma,
can't she? There's a nice south window,
and plenty of room for a sewing
machine."
"And she can easily sew enough for us
to pay hor board," suggested 8usanna,
who had something of tho business clc
ment about her.
Miss Frederick brightened up.
"You will forgive mo the deception?''
said she.
"Deception! There ain't no decep

placently surveying herself iu tho new
robe. "I wanted a good black silk,
didn't I? And I've got it, haven't I

But if you ain't a regular dress

Miss Frederick colored vividly.
"That was fraud and cheating, too,'"
she confessed. "I painted the sign my
self, on a bit of board, with water colors
that were a relic of old days, and I bor
rowed the use of the room from a friend,

"Married to Charley Blinn!" echoed
another gossip. "There ain't no talk of

Mrs. Jexton shrugged her shoulders.
"No talk as I know of," sho said.

Lively Bear Hunt In Three States.
One of the most exciting bear hunts of
the year took place in the vicinity of
Charleston, W. Va., recently. Early in
the morning a big black bear, weighing
about 300 pounds, was chased out of the
mountains above Hedgeville, in Berkeley
County, by some squirrel hunters. It
crossed the Potomac to Williamsport,
Maryland, where it created a great deal
of excitement, and in an hour after its
arrival on Maryland soil twenty-five men
and twice that number or dogs were in
pursuit. Bruin escaped the hunters and
hounds, skirted around Hagerstown, and
was seen that night near Greencastle,
Penn., having traveled about twenty
miles during the day. Most of the origi
nal pursuers dropped off, but others took
up the chase from time to time, so that
there was always about the same number
of excited men at the animal's heels. His
trail was lost over tho Pennsylvania line,
but the animal doubled back, and was
again found near the North Mountain.
Thero ho was surrounded, and being
brought to bay in a field near Quincy,
was shot to death by a volley from the
hunters. The animal showed fight before
being shot, and was an ugly customer to
handle.
Beds in Japan.
A Japanese bed is the matting that
covers the floor. At bed time several
blankets or quilts are produced. One ia
rolled out on the inatting-eovercu noor
and forms the mattress. The pillow, as
stated above, is either a small block of
wood or a wooden structure, like a minia
ture saw horse, intended to fit at the
nape of the neck. Some uioro luxurious
ones are rolls or little round cushions
made of some soft niutcrial. When the
Japanese or his visitor stretches himself
out ou his blanket and lays ins neaa on
this executioner's block for a pillow he
draws over him one, two, or half a dozen
blankets, according to his fancy aud tho
temperature of the uir about him. In
cold" weather, Japanese houses are any
thing but comfortable, as no arrange
ments are made for heating them. The
Jap, however, proposes to be comforta
ble iu his bed, aud he provides himsell
w ith a bed wanner. This is a grated box
or case, with a receptacle inside, in wmcu
charcoal is burned. Ho puts this char
coal stove under his blanket, near his tect,
and wraps his limbs about it. The Jap
anese will sleep this way all night.
A Janaueso Writln
Desk.
The Jup's writing desk, like the lady's
toilet set, seems to be made for very little
people. The Jap docs not sit in a chair
to write, but kneels before his cabinet
and squats ou the floor. The cabinet
contains a number of dainty little drawers,
in which aro kept paper, ink, brushes
aud pencils. Ou the top of the cabiuet
is a tray for the ink. One little vessel
contains water iu which tho stick of
India ink used iu writing is moistened.
The stick thus moistened is rubbed upon
a pad from which it is takeu up ou a
finely pointed brush with which the
wiitiu;; is done. Some of the papci
cinncs iu rolls, und as the Japanese write!
his characters iu vertical rows, he unroll
his paper and keeps unrolling until he
has written all he wants to write, and,
then, if it is a letter, lie tears the papei
written upon from the roll, folds it up and
sends it away. Some paper used bj
Japanese woiueu is made iu fancy stylet
with figures or flowers painted or priuted
on it in colors. WdtlHiujlva btur,

mOTECTIOfl FROM MOTHS.
For the effectual protection of woolen
good against moths tho use of cedar
wood boxes and closets is insufiicicnt,Rnd
it is stated that there is no other means of
protection against the ravages of the
insect but perfectly to inclose the woolens
in material which is not attacked by the
moth, such as cotton cloth. AVoolen

LAST ITRB OF LEMOSS.
you ever use lemons," remarked
'If
one housewife to a lauy inenu, "anu
have a portion of one left over, be sure
you do not throw it away.
"I am never without them in the house,
as I always use them for flavoring ; but of
what use are pieces?"
"Just this. The next time you think
you have done with a lemon, just dip it
in salt and rub your copper kettle or
stewpan with it. You will be surprised
to find what a brilliant surface you will
obtain if you rub the nrticle instantly
with a dry, soft cloth. You can polish
all brass work by the same means, every
stain disappearing as if by magic. A
moldy lemon put into a dirty saucepan
half full of water and boiled for half an
hour cleanses the utensil amazingly and
removes any odor, such as fish or onions.
Try it and see if I am not right." New

TIIE BENEFITS OF COFFES.
It is asserted by the men of high pro
fessional ability that when the system
needs stimulant nothing equals a cup of
fresh coffee. Those who desire to rescue
the drunkard from his cups will find no
better substitute for spirits than strong,
new made coffee, without milk or sugar.
Two ounces of coffee, or one-eighth of a
pound, to one pint of boiling water makes
a first class beverage, but the water muss
be boiling, not merely hot. Bitterness
comes from boiling it too long. If coffee
required for breakfast be put in a grani'ized
kettle over night and a pint of cold water
poured over, it can be heated to just the
boiling point, and then set back to pre
vent further ebullition, when it will be
found tlrnt, while the strength is ex
tracted, its delicate aroma is preserved.
As our country consumes nearly ten
pounds of coffee per capita, it is a pity
not to have it made iu the best manner.
It is asserted by those who have tried it
that malaria and epidemics are avoided
by those who drink a cup of hot coffee
before venturing into tho morning air.

THE MOTHER OF ICEBERGS.
GLACIER FORTY MILES LONC
MOVES SIXTY FEET A DAY.
It Is In Alaska and Presses Constant
ly Toward the Sea, Into Which
Huge Manses Drop from Its Front.
The most notable of the glaciers in
Southeastern Alaska, Rays Professor Hor
ace W.Briggs, in the Sitka Alakan, is the
Muir, named from Professor John Muir, a
geologist of some reputation, since he
gavo the first uncolored description of it.
It is forty miles long, and back on tho
laud, in a basin of the mountains. Being
reinforced by fif'ecn tributaries coming
down the glens from dillercnts points
of the compass, it swells to an icy sea
twenty-five miles in diameter. Thence it
moves with resistless power.bearing rocks
and long lines of detritus on its billowy
surface. Just before it reaches the bay it
is compressed by two sentinel mountains
into and is forced through a gorge one
mile in width.
Emerging from this narrow gateway it
moves on, at the rate of forty to Bixty
feet a day,to the waters whence it origin
ally came, buttressing the bay with i
perpendicular wall 800 feet high, 300
feet of ultramarine crystals tipped with
purest white being above the surface,
aud, being pushed beyond its support in
the underlying rock, a battle begins De
tween cohesion and gravity. The latter
force always prevails, and vast masses
break from the glacial torrent with the
combined crash of falling walls and heavy
timber, a tumble into the bay with
dash and a shock that agitates the waters
miles away, making navigation perilous
to craft of all sizes. The almost deaien
inc roar made when these masses arc rent
away, the splashing baptism they receive
ia their fall and the leaping waters are
lively witnesses to the birth of an ice
benr. which henceforth, as an independ
cut existence, goes on its mission of gird
ing the shores, butting against its fellows
uud of scaring navigators.
While the ship was resting unmoored
near the front of this icy barrier, we were
startled by the sudden appearance of a
moss of dark crystal, vastly larger than
our own ship, shooting up from the
depths and tossing our steamer as if it
were an eggshell. As the vessel careened,
the frightened passengers were scut whirl
ing against her, over chairs, or prostrate
upon "the deck. This strange visitor had
doubtless been broken off from the roots
of the icy mountain, hundreds of feet be
low the surface, and hence had unex
pectedly appear upon the scene. Had it
struck the ship fairly nothing but a mira
cle could have saved us.
Having recovered somewhat from oui
dumb amazement, nbout twenty of us
were sent on shore in the captain's gig.
Landing some distance below the ice wall,
we climbed seventy feet up a lateral
moraine, crawled, shoe-deep in wet
gravel, down iuto the valley of a glacial
river, forded it, paddled through glacial
mud covered with shingle just deep
enough to hide the creamy pools, slipped
prostrate on the ice made treacherous by
a thin disguise of detritus, and barked
our shins aud cut our shoes on the sharp
angular blocks of granite and basalt
strewn for two miles, in great profusion,
ulong our perilous route.
After more than an hour of plunging
and sprawling, and of pulling each other
out of gray mire, about half of our num
ber reached the uncovered glacier, and at
the first glance we felt that here we should
6tand with uncovered heads, for we were
in the presence of the marvelous mani
festations of superhuman power inaction,
and looked with unveiled eyes upon the
potent agencies by which much of this
planet has been fashioned.
Away in tho distance was the white
lake fed by numerous frozen rivers, and
thoep rivrs were born of mountain snows
. . . . .;? Tlia whUo.mlinfl
mountains themselves iujiw in ti:u past,
were smoothed and grooved far up their
flinty sides when this same glacier was
threefold deeper and many times more
ponderous and mighty than it is to-day.
The larger portion of this crystal river,
perhaps an eighth of a milo in width, is
heaved iuto rounded hills and beetling
precipices, quite resembling tho sea in a
storm; while the middle and much the
wider part is splintered into countless
spires and needles and pinnacles, ten,
twenty, thirty feet iu height, and of a
beautiful ultra-marine at the base shaded
to a dead white at the summit.
In the onward march of the glacici
these pinnacles are occasionally wrenched
from their scats in tho solid ice beneath
they nod, then totter, und then make a
plunge, aud are shattered into a cloud of
iicicular crystuls that sparkle like the
frosted snow under a full moon of a
winter's uight, only with more of color
they are diamonds on the wing.
Again the whole surface is riven by u
thousand crevasses, along the bottom of
which streams of clear water find theii
way, often broken by waterfalls that
plunge further down into the dark blue
abysses out of sight. These chasms arc
frightful gaps to one peering down a hun
dred feet between their turquoise walls.
A slip, a frail alpenstock, a feeble grasp
of the guide's rope, and gravity would
close the sceue without further cere-
iiiiuiy .
The molecular structure of the glaeiei
is continually changing, adjusting itscll
to the elevations and depressions of its
rocky bed, und hence there is an inces
sant clicking and crackling, interrupted
here aud there by uu explosion heard
over every inch of the surface.
The whole sceue is w eird, aud strange
in sight and sound in the voices that
rise to the air from the azure depths
fascinating because every step is perilous,
majestic from its uiassiveuess, ami awful
because its march is irresistible.
Consider what a force iu weuriug away
mountains aud glens an icy torrent must
be, one mile w ide, 800 feet deep aud in
the middle flow ing sixty feet a day ; it
goes grinding and groaning and cracking
in startling explosions, ull mingled in u
loud wuil like that from the Titans im
prisoned under .Mount .fttnu.

tioned a discovery he hud made a year be

falsetto voice of men. "1 thought it was
iucurable," said 1. "Oh, no," he said.
"The cure is a mere matter of training a
certain idle throat luusi le to do its proper
work. Vou know Mr. Blank and Mr.

and after a w eek's exercise they ull came

covered this," I said. "Why don't you

said he, "I can't afford to antagonize tha
