NEAT TRAVELING CASE. Every Woman Who Visits the Pair Should Have One. Constructed on the PIHII of the Old- Funhlnneil Needle-llook—Elaborate Toilets Out of Place at the Exposition. A few weeks ago a lad 3' asked for directions for making a ease suitable for containing the articles of wear necessary for a trip to the world's fair. I send a design for one which I think will prove satisfactory. It is somewhat on the plan of the old fashioned needle book. Sail cloth is most suitable for the outside, and the inside pockets can be made of any strong cloth—-waterproof if desired. A full piece Is stitched in the center to form a caso for the parasol, and if a place for two is wanted stitch through the center of this centerpiece so as to form two compartments or cases; se cure the ends by a draw-string or a rubber cord. The edges are to be yumnmiiiMMil j , TRAVELING CASE. bound with braid, a shade darker than the cloth of which the case is made. They can be made plain, or orna mented according to taste. Crewel would be suitable. A monogram may be added. A handle and straps can be obtained of a saddler, or they may be made of canvas and embroidered. This case can be rolled or folded. If any person goes to the exposition with the i<lea of displaying an elabor ate toilot, she will be much out of place. Wear your plainest dress. A gray one is most suitable and servicea ble, not showing dirt, dust and soot, which last renders Chicago nearly un bearable. "Hands off!" should be placarded on everything'one is liable to touch, and if you go with any definite object beside simply seeing; if you go with the object of enlarging your ideas, or learning as much as possible, you will not want to be embarrassed with any superfluous frills, flounces, etc. A woman of culture and refinement knows that true elegance consists in j+implieity of dress, and will show the same taste and sense when in public as in private. A true, womanly wom an does not desire to render herself conspicuous in dress. If you are in terested in art, you will find much to admire, and much to condemn—not as works of art, for they are as near per fection as it seems possible to get.— Mrs. A. C. McPherson, in Ohio Farmer. The Futility Council. The table should be a cabinet coun cil board as well as a place to cat. Here the fathers and mothers meet with all the family, as they seldom meet at any other tirao. With most it is their only time for sitting down together. Why should not the head of the family at this time consider family matters and dis cuss affairs of common interest? Is there any reason why he should hold to himself all the business affairs that all are equally dependent upon and inter ested in, and she, the mother, take no counsel or get none concerning domes tic affairs? I would advocate a formal council once a day, "Wjien each one shall ask advice of the other, and each child in an orderly way shall Mate his troubles and his problems. In such n way our families may cultivate a unity of feeling and cooperation.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. USEFUL TOILET MAT. It Protects the Dresser Cover from Bo coming Soiled.

The Lltlle Wretches Are Found Every, where by Thoun<ls of Millions. Dr. Manfredi has been announcing some disquieting facts concerning the omnipresence of fatal microbes. ID the busy thoroughfare of a crowded city he has found 1,000,000,000 microbes to a gram of dust, and in the dirtiest streets 5,000,000,000 per gram. A large number of disease-producing microbes were found among these, the number of such morbific germs being directly proportional to the aggregate number of microbes. Of forty-two cases in which he inoculated guinea pigs with Neapolitan dust he detected the tubercle bacilli (the germ of consump tion) in three, the bacillus of pus in eight, the bacillus of tetanus in two, the bacillus of malignant codema in four, and other fatal bacilli. A medi cal paper suggests that the streets of American cities should be tested for microbes, antj is confident that in many of them a harvest as rich in variety and deadliness as was garnered in Naples could easily be secured. Em phasis is given to Dr. Manfredi's alarm ing statistics by the results of some in vestigations which have been carried on by Prof. Uffelman with respect to the carrying of cholera bacilli by means of letters, postal cards, etc. He in fected a letter with the bacilli and put it in the ordinary way into a post bag. In the course of twenty-four hours the letter was taken out and the bacilli were still living. They were also found still living on postal cards twenty hours after infection, but on coins they seemed to die with great rapidity. The reason for this difference could not j be discovered. On woolen and linen stuffs the bacilli enjoyed a particular ly long life. The busiest and most ef fective infection carrier was found to be the common ily. A ily which had been infected by being put on to a mass of cholera bacilli was placed 011 a piece of beef. When the beef was examined soon after it contained an enormous quantity of living bacteria. Prof. Uffelman deduces from his ex periments the oft-taught lesson that in time of epidemics the most scrupulous cleanliness is the best safeguard. YARNS OF FISH AND FOWL. Some Wonderful Things Which Have Hap pened in the World of Sport. An enthusiastic sportsman in Port Kenyon, Humboldt county, Cal., knows plenty of queer things. "I have," he (says, "a true fish story for which I can vouch. A gentleman living not a mile from this town east seven successive lines with three flies on his leader and securely landed out of Eel river seven teen trout weighing over one pound each. Three different casts yielded three fish each, and two different casts two fish each." The writer says this is not a fish "story" and then goes on to relate some more wonderful things. "My son," he says, "killed a whole snipe on the wing with his rubber slung at a single shot." Inferontiully the young man frequently kills part of a snipe. On this particular occasion it appears that he killed a whole snipe. This interesting writer snys further and with becoming modesty: "I had what I think a most extraordinary thing happen to me. I was riding 011 horseback from Eureka, when I saw a single duck flying toward me. The duck made a swoop down to a slough, running along the roadside, and settled on the water. Being a. very active pian, and having away of alighting from my horse at a leap, I jumped down ami pretended to throw at the duck. lie dived and, the water being clear, I kept sight of Mr. Duck, and by throwing rocks and sticks kept him under water until he was so nearly drowned that I was able to pick him up and carry him home to Bear river alive." The writer concludes by tell ing of a man who killed forty ducks at one discharge of his gun, and of a party of six hunters who killed over one thousand wild fowl in one day. SERENITY OF JAPANESE WOMEN. They Are Not Fretted to Iteath by the I'otty Cures That Vex Americana. "The secret, perhaps," Rays a traveler, "of the sweet expression and habitual serenity of the Japanese women can be found in their freedom from small worries. The fashion of dress never varying saves the wear of the mind on that subject. And the bareness of the houses and simplicity of diet make housekeeping a mere bagatelle. "Everything is exquisitely clean and easily kept so. There Is no paint, no drapery, no crowd of little ornaments, no coming into the houses with foot gear worn in the dusty streets. And there is the peaceful feeling of living in rooms that can be turned into bal conies and verandas at a moment's notice, of having walls that slide away as freely as do the scenes on the stage and let in all out of doors, or change the suites of rooms to the shape and size that the whim of the day or the hour requires." Hocks Kent by Urnwlitg Trccii. There is a great natural curiosity at Garfield cottage, just a mile away, saj's a Bethlehem (N. II.) correspondent of the New Haven Paladium. In the side yard is an enormous bowlder which must weigh eight tons or more. It has been split by a live white birch tree which started life in a tiny cleft of this immense rock, sent down its shoots into the earth, little by little widened the cleft, until nearly thirty years ago came the split, and one-third of the bowlder was pushed off by the tree, now of good size, but strangely twisted as to limbs and trunk. In the same yard are four smaller trees in va rious stages of growth, some having already started cracks in their rocky homes. Customs as to Dining. The Spaniard, however courteous he may be, never invites a guest to din ner; in Italy, too, the privacy of the family is seldom invaded at the dinner hour; the Frenchman is delighted to entertain, but prefers to do it at his club, while the Englishman is never so genial as when seated at his own table with company surrounding him. IN WOMAN'S BEHALF BEFORE THE LAW. Antique Precedent H in !•'. ri e in (iri-Mt llr.t- Hln To-Day. The laws of EagL.ud are, :r. most cases, what might lie called "men's laws," so unequal is the justice they deal to men and women respectively. For instance, a man is eligible for every ofiice in the kingdom, and is un der no restrictions as to voting. On the other hand, there are many offices a woman can not fill, such as member of parliament, county coun cillor, etc., although she may be queen. She can vote in certain municipal and school elections, but for nothing higher. She can not serve on a jury except in one special case. All English temporal peers sit and vote in the house of Lords. A woman may he a peeress in her own right, but she no seat or vote. There is one recorded ease of a female baronet All professions are open to a man. A woman may not be a clergyman, soldier, barrister or solicitor. She may not even drive a cab or 'bus for hire in London. Hut women have been parish clerks and sextons, A woman was once high sheriff. Xhe law relating to inheritance of land prefers males to females. In near ly every case an eldest son inherits, to the exclusion of all other children. When daughters inherit land they share it equally. As regards personal property, a man is his wife's heir, but a widow is her husband's heiress 011I3' to u limited extent. When a man survives a wife pos sessed-of land he will, in certaiji cases, own it all for his lifetime. In similar cases, when a wife survives her hus band she will have a life interest in only one-third of his lands. A man's domicile is not altered by his marriage. A woman has to adopt her husband's domicile for her own. A husband is prima facie entitled to the custody of his children. A wife has no such right, nor will the courts read ily grant it. A man has a right to select the relig ion of his children. A man has full rights over his own property. A woman married before .January 1, 1883, lias only limited rights over property which was here before that date. All these points are decided favor able to the man. Hut he does not have it all his own way, as the following facts show: A ll 3' adult man may be made bank rupt or imprisoned under the debtor's act. A married woman can be made bankrupt only if trading from her husband. She can not be im prisoned under the act. If a man orders goods in his wife's name, he must usually pay for them. A man must generully for all nec essary articles his wife orders. He is even responsible, to a certain extent, for debts she has incurred before mar riage. A man is responsible if his wife com mits libel or slander, or does wrongful act for which damages could he claimed. He is responsible in this case also, to a certain extent, for such acts committed before marriage. A wife is never responsible for her hus band's wrongful acts. A man may be compelled to allow his wife sustenance money while she is car rying on a suit against him, or is forced to live separately from him. In some cases married women may testify privately as to whether their signatures to documents were made without fear or favor. Equity will as sist a wife, if her husband has made some mistake in executing a power of appointment in her favor. There seems to be some manifest in justice on both sides, hut the wheel of legal reform move slowly, and proba b\y a dozen Dickenses may write a hundred "lllcak House" arrangements of the powers that be before any changes will be made for the benefit of either party.—N. Y. Sun. PIANO TUNING. A New and Profitable Employment That In Open to Women. Much has been said about the differ ent vocations whereby a woman can earn a comfortable living, and, with others, piano tuning is now enumer ated. This occupation is not the easy one that many imagine. It requires an ac curate. ear, a strong arm, and much practice, A 3'oung woman who is learn ing to wield the hammer, says: "1 had no idea it was so hard/' A German, a professor of music,when she told him what she was doing, said: "You will never learn, 3'ou will never learn, I say. It is like music, it takes a life-time to lenrn it," She is disprov ing that, though, for she is making ri.pid progress, and, although shelias been studying only two years, will, in all probability, scon be able to "fine tune*" as it is called, a piano. Lne should go into a factory to learn tuning. There are schools where pi ano tuning is taught, and there can be no doubt that the training is excellent, as far as it can he, still, to become a practical piano tuner, it is essential that one should be where the instru ments are put together, so as to be able to acquire nn accurate knowledge of th* details. The beginning is culled *'chipping," that is, liming the wires after the case has been strung and before it is put in in its proper place in the piano frame. Often that ''chipping" has to be done two or three times, because the case not being in a firm position the wires slip and' fall, llough tuning follows, and after some repetitions the finishing °r line tuning puts the instrument in a suitable condition for the player. A great amount of work it seems, and it is a fact that it requires much practice to become a successful phuo tuner. ! he peculiarity of holding the ham mer. the thumb down with the litthi finger over the end of the handle, is an intense strain on the hand and arm, and the pins, (around which the wires are fastened) being placed very firmly in position, need much strength to turn them. Then. again, the ear must he exceed ingly true to detect the slightest varia tion in the sound; three strings forin ' one n -to, consequently they must har ! luoni: in tone, and the necessary ad justment is very delicate. The car be comes finely trained by practice, so much so that a tuner will notice the wave in a note to one uneducated, even though he may have a good car, would seem to accord. The remark of a tuner that it would be impossible for him to tune all day in a factory, week in and week out, as it would certainly make him crazy, (piano tuners are said to turn into cranks) shows that it is also very wearing on the nerves. This all sounds discouraging, but there are drawbacks to everything, and piano tuning is not "the exception to prove the rule," and for anyone having the three requisites mentioned, a good ear, plenty of physical strength, and a willingness to practice laboriously, there is no reason why it should not be conquered as other diliicult occupations have been. A member of the* firm in whose fac tory the woman referred to is learning pronounces her progress excellent con sidering the short time she has been at it, and does not hesitate to predict her complete success after a little longer novitiate.—N. Y. Times. Women's Clubs. Women's clubs to-day, in town or in country, are almost always distinctly educational in their aims and purposes. Many clubs lay out courses in* philo sophic and historic study which cover a wide range of literature, and make im perative close and scholarly toil on the j part of those who write papers and j those who intelligently discuss them. 1 A woman's club without a paper or pa pers taking up a definite line of thought or research is a very singular phenome non. We do hear now and then, and we rejoice to hear, of girls' clubs, just for fun, fur recreation pure and simple, but the members of these usually feel that they ought to apologize for their frivolity. Americans learn very slowly that there is nothing wrong in the pursuit of enjoyment per se. We are a sober, reflective, serious people. Our women are, above everything else, conscien tious. even to severity, and they feel quite naturally that after the social luncheon or before the afternoon cup of tea they should in some way devote themselves either to the improvement of their minds or to the amelioration of certain ills, the reformation of some abuses, or the assistance and elevation o# people who are down-trodden and oppressed. —Harper's Bazar. A N'l'WK paper Woman. Mrs. E. J. Nicholson, the proprietor and editor of the New Orleans Pica yune, is said to be the only woman in the world who owns, edits, manages and publishes a great daily newspaper. She was first a contributor of poetry to the columns of the Picayune, under the name of Pearl Rivers, and some years ago was made literary editor of the pa per by Col. A. M. llolbrook, its editor and proprietor, thus being the pioneer newspaper woman in the south. After a time she became the wife of Col. Hoi- 1 brook, and at his death inherited the ' paper, much incumbered by debt and with a dubious outlook. She assumed the responsibility courageously, and, with able assistants, has put it again on a substantial basis. A few years ago she married George Nicholson, who was business manager of the paper.

A sample rat trap was in Gerrish's drug store in Lewiston a few days ago. waiting for a customer Itwiis a new fangled rat trap which Some one had left there for fun or sale, or to be called for. The trap was set and was in the open shop where it could be seen. About 10::;o o'clock a big dog came in with a little girl, or vice versa, although the dog was bigger than the girl. The lit tle girl bought something, and the proprietor was tying up the package, while the dog went prowling around after the manner of dogs, anil was MI a moment forgot. "P'ease, tliir, has you got any car—" Just then "Whoop lal Rip-p-p, s-s-t-boom-ah, ki-yi-yi," out came the dog with about seven inches of tongue protruding, to which dangled a rat trap, full size, hanging to the tongue with a fifty-light dynamo grip. In an instant there was fun in the apothe cary shop. You have seen a dog fight FUN IN THE APOTHEOABY'S SHOP. .vith eleven dogs in it? No? Well, maybe you have seen a rooster with his head cut off? No? Then j r ou haven't any idea the way this dog did up the drug store. Why, he fairly owned it. Over the boxes; in behind the counter; out again; seven laps around the stove; three trips into the back shop;, kicking up Ills heels until the dust flew; knocking over bottles; opening up cases of last year's alma nacs; howling like a calliope; clanking like a threshing machine. For about two minutes they gave him full swing. The clerk tried to corner him, but it was no use. "Rothe! Rothe!" cried the little girl, but Rose didn't know her. "He'll run a week," said a man who was climbing into a chair to give the dog more room. "Chloroform him," said the news paper man from behind the soda foun tain. 1 "Give him a dose of fly powder!" pliouted the clerk. "Snap!" The dog had stopped sud denly, had shaken his head and the trap had been flung three feet away, taking with it a dainty morsel of his tongue. "Poor Rothe," said the little girl, as she opened the door, but Rose never even wagged his tail as with one de spairing look at the inside of the store so that lie could remember it the next time he fled like a wild, whooping, de moniac witch on a broomstick down Lisbon street. And he may be going yet. A BRIDEGROOM BEREFT. After the Ceremony the Ilrlclo Vanished and Could Not lie Found. An extraordinary escapade on the part of a bride has caused a great deal of comment and provoked not a little amusement at Paris, France. Only a day or two since a young actor led to the altar a charming member of his own profession, who has gained a con siderable amount of popularity by rea son of her talent as a drawing-room danseuse. The nuptial ceremony took place in Trinity chilVch, amid the odors of flowers and incense and to the sound of jubilant organ strains. The wedding breakfast was given in the house of the bride's parents, and in the evening the newly-married couple, accompanied by troops of friends and RILE RETIRED DOWN THE BACK STAIRS, relations, sat down to a sumptuous banquet at Leinardelay's. All went well until about half-past eleven o'clock at night, when the luyde begged leave to retire for a few moments alone in order to rest, as she was over come, she said, by the emotions and sensations of the day. Instead of re tiring for a fe\# moments, however, she retired permanently down a back stairs of the restaurant, and was soon lost to the bridegroom, like Ginevra of old. The disappearance of the lady caused a sudden breaking up of the wedding party, and the bridegroom had to re turn to his ojd bachelor quarters, a heart-broken solitary man. Next day a letter was received from the fugitive, who wrote to a friend stating that she would never see her husband again, that she was going away, but would return in a week in order to clear up the mystery of her abrupt departure from the banquet and the bridegroom. It is said that the young woman is al ready married and the mother of a family* but this is a mere rumor.
