I've heard uncle and be is a minister, mamma sav that everyone is a little good." You have heard him sav that the 'orfct person has some good quality;! bat I differ with him. I don't believe, that convict, who, I have learned from the captain, was a thief, housebreaker! and drunkard for years, has a single good trait." j Just as she spoke a heavy squall; struck the ship, hurling her down al most ou her beam ends and driving her through the water with everything humming. The wind blew with ter rific force, and the vast ocean was veiled for miles by the whirling, driv ing spray, which flew like snow-flakes all round the vessel, shrouding her in a white mist. Suddenly there was a wild shriek from Mrs. Rowland as little Grace, who had attempted to run into the cabin, was literally blown to leeward into the sea. "My child! O (Jod, save my child!" screamed the distracted mother, whose voice, however, was nearly drowned by the booming thunder of wind and ocean, ths rattling of canvas, the slat ting ()f sheets and ropes and the swashing, hissing noise of the sweep ing sprav. The sailors looked with appalled aees on the form of (irace as she was borne along by the merciless waves. Not one of them dared to venture overboard in that tempest, and as to lowering a boat, it was simply impos sible, as no boat could live in such a storm. "Save her! "Will no one save m child V" screamed Mrs. Rowland, con fronting the seamen with clasped hands and frenzied, beseeching eyes. They looked at each other and not on; moved, for all felt that certain death awaited the man who should plunge in that wrathful ocean; but Mark Mold plunged overboard, and the mother clung to a backstay, eagerly watching for his reappearance: but, seeing nothing of him, she bowed her head on the rail, moaning and rav ing like a maniac. Still raged the storm and on tore the ship further and further from the places where the man aud child had gone overboard. The seamen ex changed ominous glances and shook ' 1 u ii...:.. au'.iuii men neaus. Soon the squall swept far away to leeward, the ship righted and the sun gleamed from u clear sky upon a clear ing sea. ihom the captain, who. haviucr now brought his ship to, with main topsail! ai'aek, had run aloft, a wild cry went ringing , to the heavens, sending an electric thrill of joy to the hearts of all on deck. 4iI see something two miles olf the lee quarter, ('rod grant it be the man and child!" Jus boat was soon down with good oarsmen in it, with Mrs. ilow Iandfull ot wild, anxious hope, in the stern sheets. Nearer to that elistant speck drew ! the boat. "There he is!" cried the watchful captain, at last. "I think I believe but am not certain he yes, yes, thank God hooray! hooray! he ha the child." Yes, there was the oonvict in the water, holding up the child that the mother might see it. Such a scream of joy as burst from that mother's lips it would have done you good to hear. A lew minutes later Grace nestled on her bosom, weak and faint, but showing signs of rapid recovery, as the happy woman strained her to her breast, showering kiss alter kiss upon her face. Almost exhausted to unconscious ness, Mark Mold lay in the bottom ol the boat, scarcely hearing the mother, hardly feeling the pressure of her lips upon his hands, when, at lenath. she turned to him, warmly expressing hei NEWS AND NOTES I FOR WOMEN. Two Succeafal Stenographer. Twenty-five hundred dollars a jetx is the highest salary the United States Government has ever paid to women. This is the sum that was paid to the stenographers Mies McNanghton and Miss Atkinson who accompanied the American Peace Commission in PaiBV Both these women are familiar "with the French and Spanish languages. " , , , . s . -. Mathematics and 2MtaLrimmy.. - "It may not be complimentary to pie men, but there seems at least a semblance of trnth in the statement that the greater the quantity and the better the quality of education among women the le'ss the chance of mar riage," writes Professor 1). K. Mc Anally in the Ladies' Home Journal. "It has been shown conclusively that college women marry less than others. The explanation of this apparently anomalous condition may perhaps be found in the fact that a large percent ago of college-bred women educate themselves for the purpose of becom ing teachers. Teachers have not so good an opportunity of marriage as other women in fact, teachers in female seminaries -have hardly more prospect than nuns, their limited as sociation with the opposite sex and tne restraints under which they ai-e visited by gentlemen fully explaining the situation. It is clear, however, from the iiirures furnished, that the among 'co-educated' among women women is higher than who uueiin lemaie seminaries, it is singular to notice that in the case of educated women the same geographic differences between the East and the "West may be observed as in the case of the others. In the North Atlantic division that is, in New England the marriage rate is lowest. It grad ually rises toward the We si, attaining it3 highest figure in the mountain States, a fact which' indicates that the educated Eastern women who' goes West to teach has an excellent prospect of linding a Lusbaud there." rrratitude Now she recognized the truth of the saying that tho worst person i not without seme good trait, and very glad she was that she had not succeeded in having the convicts removed from the ship w ten she lirst discovered thev mil on V- ' - " '.i . i- oi M!,;ui;- ' 'ab'.v. to..!; it forward ' aiL.rs and make each of - bite, saying she i '1 the captain to send them, a ! ;iK .. , I ; mv, :.vd on deck the crvj- j '. !v Mold. who. having been! :u the cmM-ned air below, ha 1 I ' v,'d of his chains aud led up j ' ' the fresh air.

Of course, had they been taken away "Mark Mold would have gone with them and her child would have been lost. On arriving at Tort Jackson Mrs. Ilowland lelated to her husband, the colonel, tho gallant conduct of Mark Mold, who thereafter was constantly befriended during his hard prison life by the grateful o Ulcer. This kind treatment, the first he had ever received from a human being since he became .an outlaw, had a softening effect on. Mark's character, and he conducted himself so well that the colonel at length succeeded in ob taining for him a commutation of his penalty, which had been for twentv years, to half that time.

It is evident that foulard silks are to be more fashionablo than t he taffetas. The dark ground foulards with tho white figures have' been worn for several years, and yet the same idea is repeated, and with such varia tion as to make them seero mi?fa nox - trV U 4 , The Liberty foulards are perhaps the newest. They first came out from Paris last year in the imported gowns, but were not seen enough over here to make them too popular. This Liberty foulard is a very soft material and yet; has considerable body. It is a much cooler fabric for mid-summer wear than taffeta, and some of tho new shades and designs are exquisite. The old fashioned polka "dot of white on the dark ground is going to be immensely fashionable, but the very line dots are the smartest, and there is one new and very smart design a light ground with a dark dot in the centre of which is a white dot. Among the ready-made foulard gowns the circular skirts are the most noticeable, and these are trimmed with bands of lace insertion from three to four inches wide. Tiiepriueip.il note in summer mil linery is the excessive use of tulle and chiffon, but tulle is used much mere than chiffon. Very few of tho hats are made entirely of straw. They almost all have the brims of these two materials. When the tulls is used it .is put on in soft folds, one fold over the other. The chiffon is sewed into myriads of tiny tucks or puffings. This iooks very soft against the straw crown,, and, as a rule, is becoming. The shapes are mostly of the toque aud turban .variety nothing .very exag gerated, and the colorings quite sub dued. Every shade conceivable of light gray and tan unrelieved m many instances even by white. Among all these neutral tints stand out very sharply the purple green, and blue hats, very smart in design; worn with gowns to correspond, they will look far better than they do in the show case. Oddly enough, some tulle hats are m sailor shape with a stiff trimming at the side. But these last are a little too odd, and the smartest hats are those b lilt upon the sam Hup nnd loo kin: Miss Serena Rhinelander has one of the oldest and biggest New York es tates on her hands, and she keeps the management of it mainly in her own hands. She owns scores of tenement and apartment houses, knows their exact condition and the rental they should yield, and she has perfected herself in domestic architecture to be able to examine and criticise intelli gently all building and improvement : pians ior ner property, ivirs. Jnena Dyer personally administers every penny of. her own big inheritance. She superintends and draws a large revenue from her big Maryland stock farm, deals occasionally in real estate ana nas by clever manipulation in creased her wealth. Mrs. Dunlap Hopkins, who will be a richer woman at some future day than she is even now, is her own adviser on invest ments, her own agent and bookkeeper. To realize what the care of these estates implies, the reader must un derstand that each and everv one of these ladies is worth in her own right J well into the millions. Mrs. Elliot F. Shepard and Mrs. Fitzhugh White house are each worth something over $10,000,000. Perhaps either of these two ladies can draw the biggest checks of any woman in New York, and next after them, perhaps, comes Miss Caro line de Forest and Mrs. WTysong, who individually enjoy incomes of $50,000 a year, and whe, like Mrs. Arthur Dodge and Mrs. Herter, know how and where every cent of their capital is invested. The financial good sensej and acumen of these millionairesses is very well attested by the fact that rarely eloes a rich widow or heiress, so long as she keeps in her own hands the conduct of her property, feel any shrinkage in her fortune, and all of these women are, in spite of their shrewdness, the most admirable land holders. Mrs. Shepard's improved tenements are among the best in New York; Miss Khinelander has given more land as the sites for handsome philanthropic edifices than any one New York man, and Miss Helen Gould, who possesses as fine a row of tenements as any landlord in the city, has never permitted her agent to press a poor lessee or evict one, though she nas never tailed to collect her rents. Chicago Record. Gossip. In private life Mme. Duse dresses almost entirely in white. Women are employed as letter car riers in several districts in France. The Empress of Germany's private wedding present to her relatives al ways consists of a very plain travell ing clock, for she values among all other virtues that of punctuality. Evangelina Probasco, a Chicago so ciety girl, has established n -.h0. cleaning establishment for women in the shopping districts of that city. Boys will be employed to do the shin ing. Only one of Queen Victoria's twelve bridesmaids is still living. She is the Duchess of Cleveland. She had the honor of assisting as train bearer at the coronation as well as at the wed ding. Madame Demont-Breton has been elected on the hanging committee of the Society of French Artists, where she will take her place on the jury with Bonnat, Laurens, Detaille, Ge l'ome, and the others. Dr. Belle Gemmel, a graduate of the medical school of Michigan Uni versity, is at present performing the duties of county physician in Salt Lake City, Utah. Her father holds this of fice, and she is his assistant, practi cally conducting all the affairs of the office. Ornamental Planting The careful use of plants will do much to produce a bame-like effect. To make a beautiful anel harniouious picture, trees and shrubs should be planted in such a manner as to give a pleasing effect. The first essential is creating beautiful surroundings is the lawn. It forms the foundation for the remainder and" no pains should be spared to make it perfect. A rich and thoroughly prepared soil should be provided, one which will retain all tha moisture that it is possible for soil to retain. Next in importance to the lawn comes the arrangement and grouping of the plants. Plants in carefully arranged groups and masses please much more than eiisconnecteil planting. While well arrangeel groups are not easy t6 make, anyone by exer cising a little care and patience may be able to do'so as well as the man who makes this his business. All groups should be arranged to provide as much lawn as he space will allow and shut out uncongenial objects on the out side. One may consult his own choice in regard to the plants to be used in working out the picture. All kinels can be used to advantage. As a gen eral rule, shrubs are as valuable as any other class of plants, as they attain their character and ; size quickly and are easily moved if elesired, and more over pioduce a massed effect difficult to acquire in other ways. Also shrubs when once established are less likely to fail. Trees aud shrubs which are allowed to develop broad, spreading shapes and graceful forms are .far more pleasing than those which are. often ruined by injudicious pruning.

Preparations for extending the sup ply of the fruit of the garden should be made early every winter and spring, and even if one only owns a small place, fruit trees, bushes anel vines should be planted and intelligently cultivated. . First, this should be done for family use, and second for commercial purposes. The owner of a small or large place who does not raise fruit for home consumption is not deserving of the name of farmer. A quarter, half or one-acre plot will yield fruits in' variety and abundance. Only tested kinds "of fruit trees . and vines should be planted. Let the nurseryman experiment with new sorts, unless you do it on a very small scale for the pleasure gained thereby Too niany farmers are led to adopt new varieties of fruits upon slim grounds of recommendation, and they lose money invariably by the process. The accumulated experiences of the many will be of use in guiding one in the selection and cultivation of all fruits. This experiment crystalizes in time in the short, pithy advice that finds its way in reputablo agri cultural journals. Some times the advice is repeated so many times that a few are inclined to sniff at it, anel ask for something new. There is very little that is absolutely new in the world, but our knowdedge ad vances gradually, and in each little new suggestion that comes as tho re sult of.actual experience proves of great value in the long run. The man who raises apples to-day cannot expect something froni noth ing. Apple trees need "culture. They require as much intelligent care as any other fruit. If you are not willing to give the trees this atten tion, it is better not to raise any apple trees. If you are willing, then select the very best varieties adapted to your region; but it would be a pity to buy first-class trees and then stunt tneir growth with poor attention. mi . - -'-' v. t .io. uue o . ine - ma iuiiuw. r. s: useful garments a woman ever Chambers, in American Cultivator. ssessed.

It is not many years ago that we thought the apple trees could take care of themselves. Now there is no profit in apples unless one makes the raising of them a Ftudy. We must select the best trees, guard them against diseases, fertilize and cultivate the soil around them, pick the fruit at the right time, sort and grade them carefully, and then pack and ship them to the right mar ket. One mistake in this Vnain of work may knock out all the profits. What is true of apple culture is true of all other fruits.
