FOR FEMININE ' READERS. A Pleasaat Euipioyment for Young: Ladies There are in Chicago perhaps forty or ' fifty working girls -who" are inclined to congratulate themselves on their compar atively easy lot. They are employed in the different sewing machine companies represented here to teach purchasers of machines the uses and care of them. In the office of one of the largest "Western agencies yesterday morning six of these girls were preparing for their day's work. Each one was presented by the forewoman with the list of the houses where she was to call during the day to give a lesson, and each one of them carried out with her a little satchel rilled "with fancy work ' of various kinds to be employed in illus trating the different uses to which the machine could be put. "When the girls had all departed the forewoman had a few moments leisure and kindly explained to an early and curious yisitor something of the details of their duties. "It is much nicer employment," she began, ''than anything to be found in stores or factories, and is better paid. And then you are your own boss. The girls get their orders here and start out at 9 o'clock in the morning. That's the last we see of them until the next morn ing, for when they have covered all their assignments they are at liberty to go home." "Does the average purchase of a ma chine require many lessons in order to make good use of it?" "Three are usually sufficient. Some ladies are more slow to learn than others, and there are so many attachments for hemming, filling, tucking, embroidering and so forth, that it is no small matter to learn the use of them, and how to oil, clean and keep the machine in good or der. Then occasionly a customer gets into some kind of trouble with her ma chine, and we have to send a girl back again to set things right. A girl meets a good many hardships in the business, such as being out in all kinds of weather and traveling about from one part of the city to another, but, on the whole, the business is healthful and well paid." Chicago News. Coquettish Mexican Women A letter to the Newark (N", J.) Adver tiser says: The favorite hour for strolling about the streets here for the ladies, is in the morning from about 9 till 12 o'clock. During those hours you encounter throngs of ladies, both Mexi can and foreigners, walking leisurely along, staring in the shop windows, occasionally entering to make their purchases or to pull over the dress goods and trimmings and drive the clerk9 dis tracted in the good old American lady's fashion, and then depart without buying anything, just the same as in the cities of the North. The Mexican ladies love admiration, like to be noticed, even stared at in the streets and all public places by men. You can see this to be the case from their pleased manner when they are closely observed by strangers, particularly by foreigners. It is remarked upon by every foreigner, no matter of what na tionality, who comes here. Probably the true reason for this is that Mexican hus bands, with rare exceptions, are not affectionate for a long period after marriage; they soon grow weary of their wives and seek distraction and affection elsewhere than at home. Furthermore the position of the wife here i3 not so favored, so honored a one as it is in the United States. A shade of the ancient Oriental idea that wives should be the slaves, the servants of their husbands, pervades Mexican homelife, and the wife Is, in many respects, decidedly the in ferior of her husband. This inferiority is felt, not only in the lower grades of society, but even among the highest classes. Though unacknowledged, per haps, in words, it is expressed in actions and in the relations between husband and wife. Uence it is not strange that Mexican women should seek for admira tion and symuathy from other men than their own spouses. And, inasmuch as many of tbem have heard or read of the superior position held by women in American society, and of the devotion of the average American to his wife, and the universal gallantry of the stronger sex toward the (physically) weaker one in the United States, it is not strange that Mexican women of the higher classes usually look with favor upon American men if they are gentlemen. However, American men are not apt to be strongly fascinated by Mexican women, as even the best of them are badly educated, poor conversationists (talking'of nothing but their "novios" beaux and dress) and few of them are as beautiful as the average American girl. Fashion Notes. Parasols made of successive rows of lace are very popular. It is no longer fashionable to draw the gloves over the sleeves. Fronts of bright-colored beads are worn over black silk dresses. Bonnets overlaid with red and gold embroidery are much favored. Ruchings and quillings are completely out of style this year in Pans. Velvet trimming is now rarely used for trimming dresses intended for street wear. The favorite wrap this season is short in the back, and long and paneled in frjmt. Foulard, on account of it3 clinging propensities, is the favorite silk" in Kussia. The most popular stockings are those with a design of large squares of differ? ent colors. Three, five or seven rows of ribbon vel vet make the fashionable trimming for dress skirts in Paris. A stylish collar is made of black Span ish lace, plaited and dotted with gold, over stiff net. The edges are wired, and and the very broad frill is ornamented with tiny pearl beads. Long, plain velvet coats are imported for winter wear. They have borders of fur, chenille or embroidery in jet done on the garment iuelf. The more fluffy the border the more fashionable. The difference between a Tarn O'Shan ter and a deer-stalker hat is that the former is ornamented with a brooch and feather or with rosettes, while a twisted veil and a bow are worn with the latter. Traveling dresses made of checked tweed, with a kilted skirt, round drapery, and a short, round bodice with a plaited back, collar open at neck for tie, are all the rage on the other side of the Atlan tic. Armholes of dresses are seen this sea son trimmed in a new manner. A piece of medium sized velvet or ribbon goes en tirely around, and the two ends which meet on the shoder at the top are tied in a gracelul looped bow. A pretty use ot the somewhat over worked white muslin hat trimming ap peared the other day in its use upon a brown hat bound with brown velvet. It was twisted lightly about the crown and fastened with a spray of scarlet salvia. High coiffures prevail in Paris. The coil of hair on the top of the head is held in place by gold or silver headed pins, and the forehead is covered with little round rings of hair termed statue curls, which are decidedly stiff in effect and unbecoming to most faces. - : " Baby " is the name given to the lit tle bonnets with full satin linings and narrow satin striDgs now in favor in' Paris. They are trimmed outside with' a wreath of fine flowers with a tuft ris ing high in front, and sometimes have a spray of flowers resting on the hair. Noted Men's Hat. Have you observed, writes a "Washing-' ton correspondent of the Boston Traveller that as soon as a man springs into public notice he at once seeks some distinctive, article of head-gear? It is a little'diffi cult to tell why this is, but it is never theless a fact. President Arthur usually wears a tall silk hat. It looks like a President's hat. Whoever made it, it is the only one of its kind in Washington. In the first place it is a very tall hat, with just the shadow of a curve near the crown. The rim is broad and nearly straight, and hangs out over his eyes. It is a hat among hats, and one would ask the name of its owner among a thousand. Attorney-General Brewster's white silk hats are almost historical. He has them made in Philadelphia, and it is under stood consumes several each season. It is a matter of some curiosity why he should want a new hat of this species. Certainly it must be a great puzzle for him to pick out his latest purchase from among the large stock which he must have on hand. His hats are made to be brushed either or both ways, and they usually are. They are built very high, with a bulging crown and a rolling br.m, something after the style of the headgear worn in the pictures of the al legorical "Uncle Sam." Mr. Blaine sometimes wears a stylish silk hat, but his lavorite is a black slouch, which he draws down over his eyes until it nearly touches his nose. Gen. Butler and Senator Edmunds and Senator Hoar also run to slouches, all apparently made on pretty nearly the same model. Gen. Logan wears a cavalry slouch hat about half the time and a respectable silk hat the remainder. Senator Ingalls' hat is tall and angular, like himself. Secretary Chandler usually wears a derby. Secre tary Frelinghuysen wears a tall, thin silk hat.. Secretary Lincoln's silk hat is usu ally stylish and dressy, while Secretary Teller's makes him look like an Episcopal bishop. Postmaster-General Gresham has developed a genuine fondness for his old black slouch hat, which he throws down anywhere. Commissioner Loring; wears the most dignified-looking silk nat in "Washington. No one would ever think of such a thing as rubbing that hat the wrong way, and as Tor crushing it, the idea would be preposterous. General Rosencrans affects the military slouch hat, while General Sheridan wears a light derby of a fashionable make. Be fore he was elected speaKer, Mr. Carlisle always wore a slouch hat ; now he wears a tall silk one with a harrow brim, which looks as though it was three sizes too small. Senator Mahone wears a light brown slouch hat on the left side of "his head, which gives him a dashing appear ance. Judge Lawrence, the eccentric first controller of the treasury depart ment, wears a flat-crowned hat with a wide brim. This is savagely pushed down on his head, just as though he had given an adverse decision of 10,000 words. It almost covers his ears, but don't; that is, one can see the ears. These are a very few of the immense number of distinguished-looking hats which may be seen in "Washington. A Straw Watch. The Bohemians speak enthusiastically of the feat performed by a young pris oner sentenced for five years to Karthaus. It is a straw watch five centimeters in diameter by two in thickness. The work comprise a few bits of straw, some cot ton, two needles and a pin, a small piece of paper forming the dial. It is said to go for six hours, and could be made to go twelve with a few improvements. It does not seem to occur to the convict's admiring countrymen that he could have turned his time to a better purpose than the construction of a curious and useless toy. Brooklyn Eagle. Penny dinners for school children have been instituted under the direction of the London School board. THE ARM"- OF TYPES. Oh, a glorious fame is the fame of the fray For the banner of Stars and Stripes? But the mightiest soldiers of all are they Who march in the Army of Types! How they come at the wave of the Captain' 8 hand, How they gather with rattle and click, And leap to the ranks at the silent command, On the forming ground of the stick I And whether it storm or whether it shine, And ever by day and by night, With a click, click, click, they fall into line, And march away to the fight. Each soldier moves on his squad of a word, To the dram of the age in the van, And armed with a two-edged invisible sword That cuts through the spirit of man. Where Ignorance sits on her shadowy thrones, Built round by the walls of old night, They crumble and crush into powder the stones, And let in the legions of light. Where Tyranny reigns with his foot and his yoke On the neck of the poor and the just, They cease not to smite till the fetters are broke, And the tyrant is laid in the dust. Oh, Army of Freedom! and Army of Light! Oh, host of our God! battle onl Till the people shall rule in their God given right, And the long night of error is gone! Oh, a glorious fame is the fame of the fray For the banner of Stars and Stripes, But the mightiest soldiers of all are they "Who march in the Army of Types! A. P. Miller, in the Model Printer.

Boiled children is evidently the last Boston craze, but will never become pop ular. The lloosier. "Doctor, I want to thank you for your great medicine." "It helped you, did it?" asked the doctor very much pleased. "It heiped me wonderfully." "How many bottles did you find it necessary to take?" "Oh, I didn't take any of it. 3Iy uncle took one bottle and I am his sole heir." WORDS OF WISDOM. Remorse is the echo of a lost virtue. Pride costs us much more than hunger, thirst and cold. To hate excellence is to be at its ex treme opposite pole. Contact with the world either breaks or hardens the heart. Mind and have a care for a silent doff and a too still water. Soft words, warm friends; bitter worus, lasting enemies. He hath riches sufficient who hath enough to be charitable. To read without reflecting, is like eat ing without digesting., A philosopher is one who unflinchingly "accepts the situation." Those only who can command them selves are fit to command others. Everybody sees the cloud on the hori zon, but who thinks of the clear blue sky above it? lie that cares only for himself, has but few pleasures, and these are generally of the lowest order. Learning is wealth to the poor, an honor to the rich, an aid to the young, and a support and comfort to the aged. ! Nothing sinks a young man into low jcompany, both of women and men, so Surely as timidity and diffidence of him self. If he thinks that he shall not, he may depend upon it he will not please. But with proper endeavors to please, and a degree of persuasion that he shall, it is almost certain that he will. With children we must mix gentleness with firmness; they must not always have their own way, but they must not always be thwarted. If we never have headaches through rebuking them, we shall have plenty of headaches when they grow up. Be obeyed at all costs. If you yield up your authority once you will hardly ever get it again. The south takes the lead in raising sun flowers. A single stalk has been found in Georgia upon which were growing 118 distinct flowers, and "Kentucky is credited with a stalk bearing 105 flowers.
