A NEW PROFESSION.
4. V /er Woman Who Cleans nnd Re
pairs Jewelry For a Living.
* 'ly little leather bag contnins all
tl materials and implements neces
sary to clean and repair jewelry," a
New York woman explained. "I go
from house to house and have all the
Work that I can do.
"You have no idea how many sensi
ble women there are who will not al
low their favorite pieces of jewelry to
be repaired by the best houses simply
because they fear that some of their
stones will be changed. 1 hnve many
customers who watch me closely the
whole time that I am nt work on-their
property. It was the discovery of this
peculiarity in a friend of mine that
gnve me the idea of my work. Before
actually beginning my work I entered
a good establishment as an apprentice,
where I learned not only how to clean
and repair jewelry, but also old
watches, of which I make a specialty.
"I had absolutely no trouble in get
ting work. My method is very simple,
I call, ask for the lady of the house,
explain my business nnd, as a rule, get
some work. By this method I soon had
as many regular customers as I could
manage, nud now I have many calln
that I am bound to refuse simply for
lack of time. Nearly every woman
of liberal means has a good supply of
jewelry aud few of them keep it in
such good condition that it does not
need repairing nnd cleaning nt least
every six months. Few of them are
willing to trust the cleaning of their
finer pieces to their maids and as It Is
more convenient for them to let me
come in to clean It than it Is for them
to collect it and send It to a jeweler, I
get the work. These are my regular
customers. Those who fear to allow
their treasures into the hands of any
one where they cannot watch them
belong to another class. As a rule the
articles they prize so highly are of
little value to any one besides them
selves.
"My charges are less than those of a
regular jeweler, and I am particular
to have my work as good. 1 average
¥5 a day, above the cost of all ma
terials used and my transportation ex
penses. That I consider good earnings
for a woman doing, as you might say,
mechanical work in New York City.
No, I never take work home. My
evenings are all free and so are my
Sundays. I need rest, particularly my
eyes. I often buy articles of my pat
rons and also act as agent In bringing
purchasers to those who would like to
sell. Many women admire only the
latest fashions In jewelry just as they
do In gowns. When an article is no
longer what they consider stylish they
become very anxious to get rid of it in
order to use the money to get some
thing more of their taste. Knowing
that I keep in touch with the tastd aud
desires of my patrons they appeal to
me to act as agent. The majority of
these women keep the jewelry boxes
In which they buy the nrticles nnd
when they are cleaned aud snugly
wrapped in their colored cottons it Is
hard to distinguish them from new. 1
have sold many such as wedding pres
ents nnd I cannot see the slightest ob
jection to their being used in this way.
They are always just as represented
nnd cost about half as much as they
would if brought new from the jew
eler. Of course, I have many bar
gains, for, as a rule, such ultra-stylish
women are exceedingly extravagant.
As they wear only the latest designs
and the most fashionable stones they
are often g'.ad to let things go for a
much smaller sum than they originally
cost.
"My regular customers are, as a rule,
of two classes, collectors or persons
hunting bargnins. The collectors have
a fancy for some particular style or
some article of all styles. They are al
ways on the alert to add to their col
lection, and nre willing to pay good
prices. On the other hand, the bar
gain hunters do not care what they
get so long ns it Is chenp. Then there
Is another class who I cannot call regu
lar purchasers. They are women of
means nnd generous impulses. When
my patrons meet wi. reverses and
call on me I look their jewels over, put
them in thorough repair and take them
to some of the women I think will buy.
I tell the circumstances, never the
names, and It is seldom indeed that I
do not make sales. All of this I do on
a per cent, basis, and last year I al
mos* doubled my earnings of ¥5 a
day.
"My work is pleasant, I might al
most say dainty. There is nothing
- heavy or laborious, so X cannot see
■ why other women should hesitate to
undertake it. I am the only one in
the field, so far as I can learn, but I
am sure that there is room even here
In New York City for many more."—

Women Who Cultivate MuHhrooml.
One of the latest fads of well-to do
people Is mushroom growing, and
many women ore said to hnve started
small mushroom farms In the cellars
of the houses in which they live, nnd
intend thereby to add very consider
ably to their pin money. It is esti
mated that a fifteen-foot bed should
give about ninety pecks of mushrooms
In three months. The cost of the bed
is about $lO. The mushrooms sell or
dinarily for seventy-live cents a peck,
bringing $67.50, thus making a gain
to the farmer of $57.50 on the undertak
lug. An expert sayH tlint the things
necessary for success in mushroom
growing are, first, the cellar in which
they are to be grown, which must be
so arranged that the plants can be
• kept at a temperature of from sixty to
seventy degrees; second, good ventila
tion, as plenty of fresh air is essen
tial, and, thirdly, arrangements for
keeping the soil constantly moist
Good mnuure, rich in phosphate,
should form the foundation of the bed,
which if possible should be built on
a damp floor. A bed fifteen feet long
will require two loads. The mush
room spawn can be had in bricks from
the florist or nurseryman. The tem
perature of the bed must be tested and
no planting must be done until it is
below ninety-five degrees. Then the
bricks can be broken in half-inch
pieces and distributed evenly over the
bed. In about ten days, when a white,
thread-like growth begins to appear,
the bed must be covered to a depth
of one-half to three-quarters of an
inch with sandy loam. A frame of
six-inch boards may be used to keep
the bed in place.
Women's Friendship.
Friendship between women Is not
necessarily built upon early acquaint
ance. My dearest friend mny have
been unknown to me a year ago, yet
time and education nnd circumstance
and environment may have been bring
ing us together for a score of years.
The friendships into which women
drift during a summer in the moun
tains or when idling about Europe are
sometimes not mei'e ephemera, but
have the permanence of the house built
upon the rock. Your friend must to
some extent nt least sympathize with
you in pursuits and nims. Your point
of view and liers must not be alien,
lou may disagree In opinion, but iu
sentiment you must meet or you can
not coalesce in friendly relationship.
For friends must neither be like Ivory
balls, smooth and polished and de
tached, nor like soap bubbles, irides
cent, ethereal, and volatile, nor like
thistles, bristling with needle-thrusting
points on every side. Somewhere there
must needs be the reciprocity of con
genial wish nud acquiescent word, the
bond of union which unites and grows
even stronger as two go on the road
of life together.—Margaret Songster,
in Harper's Bazar.
Blaclc Taffeta a Fad.
The black taffeta costume Is the
present feature of Interest in the pan
orama of fashion. The costume in
cludes a coat and skirt of rich, lus
trous black taffeta", so well suited to
many occasions.
There will be long coats in taffeta,
lined with taffeta, nnd taffeta jackets
satin lined. These garments will be
variously trimmed. Long coats of
taffeta will be lavishly garnished with
lace applique, guipure, embroidery iu
black velvet and satin, velvet and gold,
In set pieces for pockets, cuffs, collars
and Empire bands.
Many of the taffeta skirts have two
and three ruffles five to nine inches
deep. Again they have medallions of
rich laces set in cut out effects, with
velvet ribbon strappings, while others
are shirred, gathered and otherwise
treated, according to the fancy and de
sire of the wearer. While cloth cos
tumes arc naturally the foundation of
the wardrobe, nnd will contribute the
substantial wear, a silk vogue is upon
us.
A Favored Triple Alliance.
A triple alliance that has never in
the annals of modes been known to
fail in the favor of fashionable women,
is velvet and fur and lace. As a re
sult, the evening gown in its most re
gal form has a train of velvet, open
ing over the petticoat of satin, which
is enhanced with jewelled and se
quined embroidery and bandings of
fur. There is n bolero or bodice of
rich old lace, finished at the back in
long sash ends of the same material.
Black evening gowns are much in
vogue and they are us becoming as
they are useful.
An extreme novelty in veiling is the
chiffon veil of black and white, with
dots of gold and black.
One of the prettiest imaginable flan
nel wnists has a bolero and upper
sleeves of a fnucy flannel and uuder
liodlce and undersleeves of plain flan
nel to mntch, or vice versa.
The corselet skirt is seen once more.
It is really a princess, with yoke ef
fect, being made to reach almost to
the bust line, over n silk shirt, the
top being pointed back aud front.
The revival of chenille Is not univer
sal in in toques we have some
very pretty specimens. The toque of
the moment is BO large that It should
more properly be called a small hat.
The demand for fancy stockings,
especially lace ones, has brought tc
the market a great variety of those
dainty articles, which are very reason
able in price. This grade of goods is
also found with silk Inserted In the in
step.
Some of the new lace gowns shown
in the shops nre exquisite. One, for
instance, is of creamy net, inset with
white lace figures, outlined with black
chenille and embroidered with jet.
Floral sprays iu raised work of gold
run between these lace figures.
A model of black net is accordion
pleated from waist line to hem, and
is stitched down about the hips in scal
lops excepting directly in the back,
where the fulness is not confined. The
bodice Is of the pleated net, and over
it is a bolero of Jet, with jot bands
forming the sleeve. The belt is also of

hdl® i DOUBLE ENCOUN
: ter. close to a
Hunt4t& \ VESSE "
About five hundred yards apart two
massive bodies occasionally broke the
bright surface up into a welter of
white, then disappeared for two or
three minutes, to reappear at the same
furious rush. Behind each of them,
spreading out about twenty fathoms
apart, came two of the boats, leaping
like dolphin from crest to crest of the
big waves, and occasionally hidden al
together by a curtain of spray. Thus
they passed the Mlrzapore, their gi
gantic steeds In full view of that awe
stricken ship's company, privileged
for once in their lives to see at close
quarters one of the most heart-lifting
sights under heaven —the Yankee
whale-fisher at handgrips with the
mightiest, as well as one of the fierc
est of all created things. No one spoke
as that great chase swept by; but ev
ery face told eloquently of the pent
up emotion within. Then a strange
thing happened. The two whales, as
they passed the Mlrzapore, swerved
each from his direct course until they
met in full career, and in a moment
were rolling each over each In a hor
rible entanglement of whale-llne amid
a smother of bloody foam. The buoy
ant craft danced around, one strong
figure erect in each bow poising a long
slender lance; while in the stern of
each boat stood another man who
manipulated a giant oar, as if it had
been a feather, to swing his craft
around as occasion served. The look
ers-on scarcely breathed. Was it pos
sible that men, just homely unkempt
figures like these, could dare thrust
themselves into such a vortex among
those wallowing maddened Titans? In
deed it was. The boats drew nearer,
became involved, lances flew, oars
bent,and blood —torrents of blood —be-
fouled the glorious azure of the waves.
Suddenly the watchers gasped in ter-

The telephone will no longer be an

will be alternative methods of get

whole metropolitan system. This will
no longer be £2O. but a rental which,

MISS CAROLINE HAZARD.
The election by the trustees of Miss
Caroline Hazard to the presidency of
Wellesley college on the Bth of March
in 1899, was a marked tribute to one
of the foremost women in American
educational circles today. Miss Hazard
was inaugurated on the 3d of October
last year. She is about 43 years old,
and is not alone known for her lit
erary work, but because of her mem
bership in a family which for many
generations has been prominent in af-

Maritime Commerce of Clreut llrltaln
Shown In lUir Figures.
Gigantic though the maritime com
merce of flreat Britain is, it is still
rapidly increasing. At present that
country's foreign trade is equal to one
fifth of that of the whole world in
value. According to Lloyd's Register
of shipping for 1900-1, no less than
7,020 steamers, aggregating 11,513,759
tons, and 1,890 sailing vessels, repre
senting a tonnage of 1,727,687 tons, are
owned by various companies through
out Great Britain. Then the various
colonies own 910 steamers of 635,331
tons and 1,014 sailing vessels equal to
384,477 tons between them. Therefore,
it will be seen that the grand total for
Great Britain and her colonies is as
follows: 7,930 steamers, aggregating
12,119,090 tons; 2,908 sailing vessels,
aggregating 2,112,164 tons; grand total,
10,838 vessels, aggregating 14,261,254
tons. According to Lloyd's, the whole
of the world's over-sea traffic, with the
exception of the smaller insignificant
states, is carried on with 28,422 vessels
of all kinds, representing a gross ton
nage of 29,043,728 tons. Therefore, it
will be seen that Great Britain and her
colonies own about one-third of the
world's vessels, amounting to nearly
half the world's gross tonnage. The
magnitude of potentiality of the marl
time prosperity of Great Britain has
been graphically illustrated the past
few months, owing to the state of af
fairs in China. "When Great Britain
went to war with the South African re
publics the whole of her 230,000 troops
were dispatched from British soil in
their transports without any appre
ciable interference with her mall ser
vices to the various parts of the world.
True, some of the larger, more oom
modious, the fleeter vessels Were "com
mandeered" to accelerate the passage
of the troops to the seat of war, but
their places upon the mail services
were easily filled by other boats, and
the international traffic has been car
ried on in its usual manner. Indeed,
ror, and little crie? of pain and sym
pathy escaped them. A boat had dis
appeared. Specks floated, just visible
in the tumult —fragments of oars,
tubs and heads of men. But there was
no sound. Which made the scene all
the more impressive. St/ll the fight
went on, while the spectators forgot
all else —the time, the place; all senses
merged in wonder at the deeds of
these, their fellowmen, just following
in the ordinary way their avocation.
And the thought would come that but
for an accident this drama being enact
ed before their eyes would have had
no audience but the screaming sea
birds hovering expectantly in the un
heeding blue. The conflict ceased. The
distained waters became placid, and
upon them floated quietly two vast
corpses, but recently so terrible in
their potentialities of destruction. By
their sides lay the surviving boats —
two of them, that is; the third was
busy picking up the wrecked hunters.
And the old ship, with an easy adapt
ing of her needs to the light air that
hardly made itself felt, was gradually
approaching the scene. The passen
gers implored Captain James to lower
a boat and allow them a nearer view of
these recently rushing monsters, and
he, very unwillingly, granted the re
quest. So slow was the operation that
by the time the port lifeboat was in
the water the whaler was alongside of
her prizes, and all her crew were toll
ing slavishly to free them from the
entanglement of whale-line in which
they had involved themselves. But
when the passengers saw how the life
boat tumbled about alongside in the
fast sinking swell, the number of those
eager for a nearer view dwindled to
half a dozen —and they were repentant
of their rashness when they saw how
unhandily the sailors manipulated
their oars.—Cornhill Magazine.

Julia J. Irvine, who had been at
Wellesley's head since the death of
President Shafer in 1894. Curiously
enough. Miss Hazard is not a college
bred woman, but in her student days

poration—the semi-collegiate privi

the inspiring tuition of Prof. Dinman,

it was difficult to believe that the coun
try was at war, since every thing was
accomplished so smoothly and without
the slightest hitch. But the same can
not be said in connection with the
maritime commerce of other nations.
The transportation of the troops from
Germany to China was such a tax upon
the young country that its ordinary
maritime traffic was in danger of be
ing absolutely dislocated. The solu
tion of the difficulty was the chartering
of British vessels, which were readily
obtained. Russia was placed in the
same dilemma, and when France was

At the time of the historic visit of the

in iB6O, President Buchanan had to va

Thirty Years of the Rhine.
Augustine Birrell begins in the De
cember Century a series of papers on
the Rhine. In the opening pages he
moralizes on the changes since he first
knew the river, before the Franco-
Prussian war:
"In 1868 the Rhine was at least an
open question, a theme for the public
ist no less than for the poet. But now
the difference! At Kloblenz itself does
there not now stand on the quay, a
sight for all the world, a copper monu
ment, 45 feet high, of the Emperor Will
iam I.? Truthfully does the useful Bae
deker observe, ill one of those new issues
of his which r#?ord so impassively the
mightiest changes, that it (the monu
ment) dominates the landscape in all
directions! In another parf of the town
is a monument to the Empress Augusta,
that faithful spouse and sympathetic
correspondent. Needless to add. Kob

ble et sainte patrie de tousles penseurs
forsook in 1870 the lecture room for the
tented field: and on the 16th and 18th
of August, on the plateaus of Gravelotte,
bought with a huge price of German
blood the right to call both banks of the
Rhine her own.
What are two-and-thirty years in the
history of the Rhine? Celts and Ro
mans, archbishops and princes, kings
and emperors, she has known them all.
What is it to her to whom the spire of
Strasburg belongs? Nay. to whom in
any real sense docs it belong now? But
to the east and west of Metz lie the
bleached bones of a hundred thousand
men, Frenchmen and Germans, who
were ready to forswear the pleasant sun
and to go down into Hades before their
day for the cause symbolized by th"
Rhine. How horrible it would be could
a river be ironical, could its waters
sneer! The charm of nature is her ir
responsivtness. She answers you back
never a word."
Good Farm Hands Scarce in England.
The decay of agricultural skill has
gone too far. Men who can trench and
drain, quick-fence and sink a well are
becoming few; farriers and thatchers
are rarities, indeed, and the minor, but
still important, arts of husbandry linger
only among the dying generation.
Moreover, an impression is growing
wide and deep that for the better type
of laborer, now that he is equip
ped with some education, has a wider
outlook and has learnt to adapt himself
to new conditions, the provision of
small holdings, whether under the act
or independently between landlord and
tenant, may prove his industrial salva
vation. For while it is recognized that
many must be unequal to the special de
mands of the life, two or three of the
best men in every village in the coun
try could do well with holdings of from
20 to 30 acres. They could still give
their skilled labor in those times of pres

them, and they would rear healthy fami
