Alcott, tliu well known nuthot of "Little Women," wrote these mmt sen lulo word about the best kind of an edu- cation for young girls: "I can only liope that with the new and freer Ideas now coming up some of the good old ways may also be restored. The respect shown to - too aged, modest women, simple dress, bomitkecplngdiiughters learning from good - mothers the domestic arts, so much better than the too early frivolity and freedom so many enjoy. U he little daughter sent me by my dyii sister has given me renewed interest in the education of girls, and a fresh anxiety concerning the sortof society she is to enter by and by. Health comes first, and an early knowledge of truth, obedience and self control. Then such necessary lessons as all must learn, and later sucb accomplishments as taste and talent lead her to desire. "A profession or trade to fall back upon in time of need, that she may not be de pendent or too proud to work for her bread. Experience is the liest teacher, and with good health, good principles and a good education, nny girl cun make her own way in the world, and be braver and better for the exertion and discipline. No late hours, unwholesome pleasure and dress, no mixing of school and flirtation, but Bimple amusements, daily duties, and a purpose in life to keep them girls at heart even while preparing for the work and happi ness of women." Cozy Corners, It is a debatable question whether the cozy corner idea isn't likely to be carried to excess. Somebody with a great deal of genius evolved a settee and a bit of shelf and brackets for a corner. The result was so pretty and comfortable and convenient that immediately the cozy corner fever spread in all directions. From a simple convenience the cozy cor ner has come to be a sort of shrine, before which the housekeeper bows down and upon which she lavishes her choicest treas ures. Instead of serving Its original pur pose as a useful and welcome retreat, has in many cases become so highly orna mental that it's too good to be used. This is departing altogether from the spirit of the original scheme, and the sooner it 18 put a stop to the better It will be. The cozy corner is emphatically what Its name indicates, and when this Is made subservient to what are called artistic ideas, and when the decorations and gen eral furnishings are too high art for every day use it would be much better to dis pense with them altogether. A low, brood comfortable lounge, with a multitude of pillows, a convenient book shelf within easy reach, or a place where a lamp could stand, throwing a perfect light on work or reading, comprehends the spirit of such place. Above and beyond this there are absurdities and cumbersome appliances which are entirely out of keeping. Mew York Ledger. Sophia Paotaa Eczavdy By HENRY HA.BLAND. CHAPTER V. OUBSBINO. I dined that evening nt a little Italian restaurant, around the comer from Mon sieur MusoLVs, in Second avenue, where Yery edible dinners wore servod for very reasonable jirices. While I was discuss ing my macaroni there an inciilunt be fall which struck me ns both interesting and suggestive. A ynvmg lady entered from the street carrying a basket a mall and ruthcr pretty basket, woven of bright green and red straw. Bhe was manifestly not a stranger in the pliuw, for immediately upon her entrance one of the waiters stepiicd forward to meet her, and taking hor basket from her be handed her n bill of faro. This docu ment she studied for a minute, then spoke to the waiter as if giving him an order. He went off bearing her basket with him and during his absence sho stood near the pay dusk and chntted with the proprietor's wife, Mrs. Maras- chini. who sat in stuto behind it. Presently the waiter camo buck and re stored her basket to her, now manifestly heavier than when she had parted with it, and having settled her score and given the waiter his gratuity she re- One of Woman's Ways "One of the most singular things In feminine human nature," says a New York hotel man, "is the utter indifference of woman in a hotel in matters which in her own home would excite the liveliest ap prehension. I've seen a woman stand her children upon fifty dollar chairs to look out of the windows, and laugh at them lumping up and down on two hundred uol lar sofas as if It were cunning. Furniture upholstered in the most delicate colors und textures will bo used in the most reckless manner. She will slam her street shoes or dampumbrella on it, will put empty plates on it when meals are served in her rooms, or throw oranges or bananas on it when she comes from tho dining room it is all the same. "Much of our furniture is new, of deli cate pattern and very expensive. But how long will such furniture lost with such treatment? Women who will do this would lock their own drawing rooms against t heir own children, probably keep such rooms closed except for company. As for the children of anybody else well, they'd skin 'em alive If they caught them nt such things!

It generally keeps a woman busy looking after the baby's toys, because they are scattered from the old trunks in the garret to the refrigerator lu tho cellar. A man pulls a shirt out of the bureau drawer in the morning only to have a tin bullfrog fall on his feet, and when he pulls on the first shoe he is pretty certain to stub his toe on a big red agate. After awhile he never puts on a shoe or a lint without first shaking it to make sure that it doesn't contain a locomotive or a papier muche cow. Some children have their ambition and tuste formed by t heir toys. The baby boy with u locomotive often sighs to lie an engineer alter he knows what nil engineer is. The boy with a beautiful boat that he sails in the bathtub lias a natural leaning toward the divine art of piracy, while the boy with the woolly poodle naturally yearns to become the proprietor of a sheep ranch or to urancn out as a ung farmer.

This episode, say. struck me as both interesting and luinrestive. Interesting, because the young lady who sustained the chief role In it was very far from commonplace in her appearance. Of all kuown types of feminine beauty that which I person ally admire the most is the Titianesqne, the woman who is of large and generous mold, yet softly rounded, with a small head set upon a full and graceful neck, a white skin just transparent enough to be warm in the cheeks, and, to crown all, golden brown eyes and golden reddish hair. And of this type I had never seen nobler specimen than this young per son of whom for some three minutes I had been suffered to gaze my fill to-night in Maraschini's. "If ever I am to fall in love," I said to myself, "it will be with a woman of that sort. That is the sort of woman I have always longed to paint a figure tall and strong, yet rich and supple and womanly; akin like the flesh of a camellia, yet delicately touched with color of rose; hair lileo a mesh of flames, and eyes that can light up with laughter, melt with tenderness, or burn with passion, according to her mood. I have always longed to paint a woman of that sort, but models are so hard to find, so rure. A perfect model I huvo never seen until to-night I wonder who Bhe is." And wondering who she was, I began to perceive the Btiggestiveness of the episode. It seemed to lue to suggest that my fair unknown must have an in valid relative ut home a father, mother, brother, husband, unable to leave tho house to whom Bhe was bringing tho contents of hor basket. And then all at once it flashed across my niind, "What if she should be Miss Eczardy! Miss Eczitrdy, come for hor father's dinner! I grant you that was an entirely unwarranted und far fetch ed conjecture; more especially so be' cause this girl's style was essentially southern and Italian, anil Hiss Ecznrdy was a Russian; but it took possession of my fancy with the tenacity of a provasl fact.

Every afternoon his daughter aung anil danced for his pleasuring. I conceived hundred schemes by which an ac quaintanceship between them and me might be brought to puss, but I lucked the executive ability to carry ont any one of them. The simplest scheme of all, namely, to ask the exterminator to present me, was the least attractive. I really don't know why. In the end, however, I resorted to it. "I told you a while ago that I shouli very much like to meet Dr. Eczardy. You said then that he was too ill to see people. Bnt he is so much better now that don't you think?" WeiL I tdl to w'at I do." my land- by a feeling so like tho thrill of love that I can think of no other namo to givo it. Next instant, however, "Whutl" I ex claimed, turning to tho exterminator, "They are on the eve of leaving New York!" '. "Oh, nun nun no," be quickly reas sured mo; "not thoy. Only him. 'E go to Bermuda to puss the winter. 'E start on Wednesday morning. She only tole me toduy, or elso I had tole you before." "Oh, I see," I suid rcSoved. "He goes alone. And sho" "She will remain 'ere. She go lion living opstuirs ulone by herself. Her father leave her in my charge. I tek good care of her, don't yon bo afraid." "I'm not afraid," I answered. "I think her futher hns left her in very trustworthy hands. But I should think it would bo pretty hard for her to stay on hero alone, with hor father awuy ill, perhaps dying. It will be rather gloomy for her, won't it?" "Eh, w'ut will you 'ave? She must stay 'ere to do her work and gain their bread. Tho doctor 'ave ordered him to go w'ere it is warmer for the winter; and since she is not rich enough to go wiz him 'e must go alone, und slie must re main ulone behind. "Yes, I understand," I said. On Wednesday morning I heard a curringo rattle up to our door and stop there. Then, looking out of my win low, I saw Miss Eczardy issue from the house, with her white haired old father leaning on her arm. I did not succeed in catching a glimpse of the old man s face; his buck was toward me from first to last. All I saw was his feeble, totter mg body, aud his long white huir escap ing from beneath his hut and fulling down almost to his shoulders. Tho ex tenniuutor followed them, beuring the Impedimenta of shawl straps, bags, etc, He got into the carriago with them, und the enmngo drove away. "Well, Vs hoffnt last," he told me that evening.

".No placer sho queried. "Oh, that's nil right. I make a place for yon." She led mo into a small back room, properly a sort of unte-chuinber to the kitchen, which served as armory of the stronghold, its walls being lined with dressers containing pots and pans, spits and skewers and such other weapons, of fensive und defensive, as are required to complete the uccoutrement of a belted cook, but which, on occasions like tho present, was thrown open to tho public, and thore she kept her promiso to make a place for mo by ordering a chuir to be brought mid planting it ut one side of a tiny table, the opiwsite sido of which wus ulroudy in commission. "Set there," she bade ine. "You'll be all right." I obediently seated myself there; but I did so with n beating heart, for tho occu pant of tho other sido of the tuble wus Miss Eczardy. Well, thore wo sat, facing each other across that tiny table throughout that long Itulinn tublo d'hote, and ate our re spective dinners in solemn, unbroken silence. I wanted desperately to begin a conversation with her, but I lacked tho hardihood to speak the first word, and of course I could not exjicct tho first word to come from her. I thought out a dozen possible inunuuvers by which the ico might be broken and the conver sation started; but when it came to the nib of putting any one of them iu opera tion my heart failed mo, my tongue clove to tho roof of my mouth. I fancied i had got my courage quite screwed up to the point of asking her to puss the vinegar; that, it seemed to me, would he a natural opening and ono that might lead to something; but then at the eleventh hour it occurred to me that the vinegar cruet stood within easy reach of my own bund, and that it would be in finitely ridiculous to impose upon her the supererogatory task of passing it, und so 1 dared not. Tins was utterly absurd There was no reason why we should not chat together. She know who I was. I knew who she was; we were members of the same guild, dwellers under the same roof tree: we had even correspond ed together-did 1 not hold in mv pi session one of her visiting curds, with a note wntten on it by her hand for my eyes.' 1 here could huvo been no earthly harm or wrong iu our speaking to each other and making friends. It would have been nncouventional, if you like, but not nnconventional in any bad sense; nd beside, isn't uncoiiventionalitv in their mutual intercourse the privilege of artists? Yet thero we sat vis-a-vis, dis tant not more than eighteen inches from each other, and my childish timidity tied my tongue and prevented my mak ing the first advance.

One of the ladies sent An thony, one of the servants, to the river, not more than 100 yards away, to fill a water Jar. A few moments after the servant had started we were startled by a wild cry for help, and then all wus quiet again, "Thinking the man hud been attacked by a Jackal, I seized my heaviest gun and run down the path toward the river. The low brush bid everything from my sight until I hud reached a point about 20 yards from the river, and there I saw something that made ine tremolo with fear. "Thereon the bunk of the river lay poor Anthony, and by his side, licking the blood from her paws, was a big tigress. For a few moments the sight fairly froze my blood, and then a sense of personal danger and tho thought that I Bbould be the next victim filled my bruin. "Up to tlil time I forgot that I had i rifle lu my baud, aud then came a wild ! sire to try my skill with the tigress as , target.

As gently as possible, I drew back the hammer and raised the rifle to my shoul der, and taking aim directly at the tigress' ear I pulled tho trigger. As the report rang out it seemed to me as if a score of huugrf tigers sprang at me from every bush and rock, but this passed awny in an Instant, and after reloading the rifle I took a look at the tigress. She was still stretched beside the body of the man, but the powerful limbs were motioult-sM, and the head was resting on the man's thigh. That I had killed the animal at the first shot never entered my head, and I sent a couple more shots into its body as fust a9 I could, but the first shot had set tled the business. Upon making sure that the animal was dead I t urned to walk back to the teuts, wheu I heurd the scream of a tiger cat, wh iob seemed to couie from some brush a slmrt distance up the river, I am perhaps very foolish to say it, but I don't think a dozen tigers could have frightened mo Just then, and I at once started toward the spot from where the cries came.

It may create some surprise that we regard the dance as the earliest form of art, or even that wo allow it any place among the flno arts. To many it may seem a kind of sacrilege to combine in the same category, however broad, such extremes as a dancing savage and a painting of the lost judgment, and if the connection must be made some would choose to make it along other lines than those of art. But in truth the dance supplies us with the key, so to speak, of the development of the fine arts. I or light upon the problems of human cul ture we naturally appeal to the anthropolo gist. "Dancing," says Tyler, "may seem to us modern frivolous amusement, but In the Infancy of civilization it wus full of pas sionate and solemn meaning. Savages and barbarians dance t heir joy and sorrow, their love und rage, even their magic and re ligion. The forest Iudiunsof Brazil, whose sluggish temper few other excitements can stir, rouse themselves at their moonlight gatherings, when, rattle in hand, they stamp In one-two-three round the great earthen pot of Intoxicating l:uwl liquor, or men and women dancing a rudo courting dunce, advancing iu lines with a kind of primitive polka step, or the ferocious war dance is performed by armed warriors In paint, marching in ranks hither and thither with a growling chant terrible to hear." Tyler proceeds to describe the dance of the Australians ajid the bull'alo dance of Mundau Indians, who, wearing mnsks to mark their Impersonations, with rude songs and pantomimic gestures, euact their inci- nts of an imaginary hunt. Aud then he adds: "All this explains how lu ancient re ligious duncing came to bo one of the chief ucts of worship.

Hitherto the process in brusbmaklug of bunching tbe bristles and drawing them into tbe holes bus been performed by baud. A machine of peculiar iugenuity has just been invented for this purpose, the bristles being contained iu u hopper, where they rest horizontally at right angles on the top of a disk, which by means of a treadle is caused to partially rotate, first in one di rection and then in the other. The disk has a notch formed in its periphery, and as the notch pusses under the bristles some of them enter into the notcn; before the disk returns, a plate joined to the disk is moved and closes tbe moutb of the notch, thedisk then comes back and carries away tbe tuft of bristle retained in the notch to a position from which it can readily be taken by the 11 liners of tbe operative.- The whole arrangement Is that of a peck er or gripper aud can be regulated accord ing to tho quantity of tbe niateriul re quired to fill the hole, the operative passing the wire turough tbe bole by means oi special needle fitted to a clamp which is held in the right baud, toe loop belug au tomatically formed. luto this loop the op erator passes tbe tuft of bristles, pulls the wire and thus draws the bristles luto the hole.

At Brazcka, In Bosnia, nn old supersti tion has come to lifeauuin which resembles tbe frhles of Jewisb ritual murders. In Bosnia the people have believed ut all times that a bridge could not be firm and lasting unless a human being was walled up iu it. Thus there is a legend connected with the handsome Koumu limine at .Mos- tar which says that the due arch across the Narenta could not be finished until the architect wulled up in it a bridal pair. Now tbut u solid bridge is being built across tho Save at Urnzcka this supersti tion is revived. It is rumored everywhere that fc'.vpsies are stealing children to sell them to the contractors, who wall one up in ench pillar. A few days ugo there was a regular pursuit of some unlucky gypsies, of whom it had been said that they were raiding for children. London Dally News. Feeing the Servant. The custom of feeing the servants upon oue's departure from a friend's house ap pears to be iu questionable taste, but it has become almost universal, and principle must sometimes make concessions to pop ularity where the matter does not involve a question of serious right und wrong. In Knglnnd an omissiou of this custom would be regarded as an evidence either of parsi mony or of ignorance, aud we are such an Imitative race that we eventually follow whatever we know or imagine to be the usages of polite society lu tne motner country."
