THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.
TlmeiWlin the Quint but Effective Kern
in I no Influence It Ignored.
In an article coinnionting on the si
lence of history about Mrs. Christopher
Columbus and her influence over the
great explorer and his perseverance,
Mary M. Ward, in the Boston Woman's
Journal, says:
Our masculine friends husbands,
brothers and fathers are very ready to
say, when there transpires an occurrence
of ijuestionablo churacter, when lives are
t:i!:i'n, or when fortunes and battles are
lost, '-You );:uy di'pend upon it, there
was a womii'i at tlio bottom of all the
minchirf." litit v!ien anything iinpor
t:: lit in !.jne, iiswln the light of some
new ai:d wonderful discovery dawns up
on the world, behold thero is no hint of
feminino help or influence in tho matter.
'i'lio effects produced by climate, stats
of cociety, political condition, what not,
an.' n'.l taken into account nothing is
forgotten nave alone the quiet influence
of Iho one little woman at home, who
may have been the mightiest impelling
power after all. Jt is only another one
of the innumerable instances where "we
kli! d tlio bear," except in this case his
t; i-i.uis have seldom had the grace to
give the pronoun tlio plural number.
1 . reminds mo forcibly of a story told
by a clergyman of my acquaintance,
wiioBo sermons aro always practical and
tot. lu point. A centleman having be
come interested in a small man of busi
iie ! availed hiniHelf of an elder's privi
legi - the right to ask leading questions.
"Aid how long have you been at
woru, my boy?"
"Oil, it's as much as u mouth now."
"A:nl how do you like your work?
Disn'i you find it pretty hard to start out
so early in tlio morning?"
"Well, yes, it was pretty hard at
fint," the boy admitted, "but then you
see llier has to leavo tho house by 0
oVii. .;, and mother is up by half past 4
to i,i . the fin s going and to get hither s
breakfast. She rails father at a quarter
past !, and tlien by the time he is ready
to ;;o she calls tne, and while I am eating
my breakfast idio calls tho girls and puts
u; my lunch.
"No, the girls den't get np to help bo
cause they both work hard at tho store
from 7 o'clock till eupper time, so mother
lets them get all the rest they can.
"Yes," lie continued, "father works for
Mr. Denton in tho mill, and I work for
Mr. Sharp, and tho girls work for Mr.
Ellsworth down at tho store. We're get
ting along first rat 3 now."
"And whom does mother work for?"
enmotho next qiiesMon unexpectedly.
"Mothor,"hc hesitated, "mother why
mother don't worn for anybody she's
just mother."

"I cannot affuid to take vnn a car
ride," said ono wGilimr girl w.ien asked
where she intended ior-emllier holiday.
Further inquiries eiifl d the facts that
she was paying rent, railing and cloth
ing herself and i:::vtiug incidental ex
penses on tho i;:agiii!U'ent incomo of
$1.08 a wcekl There must havo been
money stringency in that quarter some
times. It would bo an interesting study to go
iuto tho details of such a caso and dwell
tin tho provision for sickness and slack
seasons, when even such remunerative
labor was not to be had. And yet that
girl, who would not indulge herself by
tho outlay of oven 5 cents, gave $1 in
charity where the reed was greater than
her own. Donahoe's Magazine.

San Francisco women excel in whist
playing. There is probably no city in the
couutry whero the game is so well played
by so many women as in the California
metropolis. At tho recent whist con
gress hold there women were present for
tho Urst timo ns members of various
clubs, and a woman, Mrs. Henry Krebs
of tho San Francisco Whist club was
elected assistant secretary of tho con
gress. One of tho most prominent male
whist clubs has a weekly "ladies' night,"
to which nil lady players aro welcome.
