AN EXPERIMENT.
"I don't think," said Mr. White,
"that the hay-crop ever iromisel .so
finely."
"Indeed!" said his wife, absently.
"And if there Isn't any fall in tho
price of fruit," ho added, "our peach -orchard
is going to net us a cool one
hundred dollar?."
As he spoke, ho flung the homespun
towel with which he had been wip ng
his hands over tho back of tli! kitchen
chair.
"Oh, George, do hang up the towel,"
said Mm. White. "The nail is just as
near as the chair-back, and 1 have
enough steps to take in tho course of
tho day, without waiting upon you."
"You aro always grumbling about
something," said the young farmer, as
he jerked tho towel on to its nail.
"There! Docs tvit suit you?" ,
"Here is a letter from Cousin Dora,
fSe-orge," raid Mrs. WhitP, wisely avoid
ing the mooted question. "She wants
to come here and board for a few
weeks."
"Well, b't her conic!" said White.
"It won't cost us a great ileal, and a
little extra money always cotint3 up
at the year's end."
"Hut, (ieorge, I was thinking"
"About what?"
"Why, I am so hurried with tho
work, and there is so much to do"
"That is the perpetual burden of
your song,' said Mr. White, irritably.
"Women do beat all for complaining!"
"Won't you hear me out?" said Mrs.
"White. "So 1 thought it would be a
good plan to Dora her board, if
she would help ma with tho housework
a little. It will acicnmodate her, and
it will accommodate me."
"Hut it 'won't accommodate mr"
said George White, cavalierly. "Really,
Letty, you are getting absolutely lazy."
Mrs. White crimsoned.
"Xo one ever said that of me before,"
said she.
"Hut just look at it," said the farm
er. "Tell mo of any other woman in
the neighborhood who keeps a girl!
Why, they make a boast vt doing their
own work."
"They all have sisters, or mothers,
or grown up daughters. 1 have none."
"Pshaw!" said White. "Ridiculous!
Of course you have to work. We all
do, don't we? Hut jnur work don't
amount to a row of pins. I don't know
of any one who has it easier than you
do."
"That's all that you know about it!"
said Letty, in a choked voice.
"Write to Dora that we'll board her
for five dollars a week," said White,
authoritatively. "We must earn all the
money wo can while there is a chance.
Make hay while the sun shines, eh?
And 1 guess you'll manage to get
along us well as other women do, Let
ty. Now run up stairs into the gar
ret, my dear, and get me my blue jean
overalls, there's a good girl!''
Letty obeyed, but the tears were in
her eyes, and a big, round ball was
rising up in her throat, and she could
hardly see the jean overalls, as they
hung up high on one of the beams.
As she reached up, a loose board in
the garret-floor tipped; her foot slipped
through on the laths and plaster be
low, and, with a groan, she sank to the
floor.
The time passed on, and George
White grew tired of waiting.
lie shouted up the garret stairway:
"Look alive there, Letty! Do you
mean to bo all day?"
But no answer came. He ran up
stalr to find Letty lying senseless on
the floor, with one leg broken, just
above the ankle.
"Now you'll hare to get some one to
do the work," said Lettly, not without
a spice of malice, as she lay on the calico-covered
settee, with her poor ankle
duly set and bandaged.
"Not if I know it," said fieorge
White. "Hire a lazy woman who'll
want a dollar and a half a week, and
her board into the bargain, to do the
work of this house? I guess not!"

"Hut what are you going to do?"
asked Letty.
"To do it myself, lo be-sure. Half
an hour every morning and half an
hour every evening ought to be enough
to square up accounts."
"Well," saitl Mrs. White, ' I shall
just like to see you do it !''
"Then you'll have your wish!" said
her husband.
He roseearlythe next morning and
lighted the kitchen fire.
"l'shaw!" saitl he, as he piled on the
sticks of wood, "what dues a woman's
work amount to anyhow ? What's the
next lesson, Letty?"
"I always skim the cream and st rain
the milk," said Letty, who, bolstcrel
up tui the 1-unge, was combing her
hair with more deliberation than she
had practiced for a year.
"Well, here goei then," said fieorge.
And a period of silence en tued.
Presently he shouted:
"1 haven't gut milk-pans em-ugh!"
"Of course you haven't!" said Letty.
"You must scald out yesterday's. You
know you saitl you couldn't set tip a
tin-shop when 1 asked lor adoz.cn more
last month.''
"They smell like a f.il boiling fac
tory," saitl (ieorge, di-daml ully.
"What ails 'em?"
"You should have scalded thorn out
last night, wishing that she had wings
like a dove, lint she might soar into
the milk-room and restore order out of
chao:.
"Merc's a go!" said ( ieorge. "Tlier i
isn't any hot water."
"Oh. ti puree, you've forgotten to nut
the kettle on!" I
"Sj I did." said her husband. "And'
the sticks, hail" 'cm, are all burned
01,t;"
"You know I wanted vou to ret a
ton of coal." said Lettv: '"but vou said
that as long as wood cost nothing but
tho chopping and hauling, wood it !
should be." I
"Have I got to wait for that water
to h at ?" groaned (ieorge.
"I don't know anything else for you
tv. do," remarked Letty. drily.
"Humph!" observed her l.Td and
master, "What's for breakfast ?"
"Ham iind eggs, I suppose."
"Well, I'm up to that part of the
programme at least," said he, cheer
fully. "Oh, tho dickens! What is tho
use of keeping your knives so sharp?
I've nearly cut my thumb off! Where
do you keep the oatmeal? I can bo

Hut it was a mortal hour before the
milk was strained and the pigs fed, and
by that timetht! house was bluo with
with a sort of smudgy smoke.
"Hullo!'' shouted (ieorge, coming in,
"What's all this? is the home on
fire?"
"Xo," said L'dty, calmly; "only the
breakfast has burned up."
(ieorge uttered a long sigh.
"Who'd have thought the lire was so

Mile. Zoo is a trim built young wo
nan weighing 1 lo pounds, and, like all
icr sisters, possesses the bright eyes
tud springy step indicative of health,
she has been eleven years in tho pr
ression, first as a trapeze performer
md now as an artist on the mid air
rings. A few years ago she -net, with
in accident in a Western town and
fractured her left knee through a fall
from the trapez.o. Since tlcn sho has

ihoulder dislocation trick that is

ing the rings her most tlilM'-ult feat
is swinging by the teeth. And yet
In; has not, so far, had occasion for a
lentist's services.
"Hut don't you feel timorous before
performing these feats, and utter a
prayer for safety '"asked the repot tor.
"O, I never have any fear," sai l
Mile. Zoe. "I say my prayers both
morning and night."
"And trust to the strength of your
arms."
"And the strength of the rope," she
answered, "which sometimes fails. My
first accident was w hen I was lo years
old, when a rope parted and I fell on
some chairs, breaking two ribs."
F.very female gymnast, by the way,
is careful of her appearance. They all
hate matinees, bec iuse iu the daylight,
they say, they cannot look as well as
by an artificial light. Mile. .00 is a
native of liingharatun, N. Y.,and began
ber exercises when she was a schoolgirl.
The remuneration these performers
receive varies from sfoO to tj-do a week.
The best of them, and of course tho
few, can command tho latter sun:.
Hut it must bo remembered that for
several months in the year they are
idle. Many also havo to support a
mother or younger brothers and sisters.
Tho latter is the eas) with one well
known gymnast, w ho is the niece of a
I'nited States Senator. Her father iu
his later days was financially unfortu
nate, and, dying poor, left a boy and a
girl to bo provided for by his eldest
daughter. Her uncle told her sho was
disgracing her family by becoming a
circus performer, but sho did not re
gard it in the saino light. Sh said
she was able to tako care of herself,
the remuneration was good, and her
brother and sister had tit bo supported.
Mine. Zarah is a heavy weight bru
nette, who does daring feats of bal
ancing on the swaying Irapee. t ne
of her acts is a swift descent on a
sloping wire which she hold in her
teeth. Hut. she particularly prides
herself on ascending a rope hand ovrr
hand, a feat w hich she defies any other
woman to imitate. Not, many men
and certainly very few women, have
such a muscular arm capable of doing
tho hand-over-hand work. v!ie ha-,
been ten years in the profession. Sin
is married to a Spaniard named (' bal
los, antl they have one boy, now about
10 years old. Mine. Zarah is of Scot
tish birth, her maiden name having
been Zarah Fergus, and she cam - to
this country when quite a child. Her
husband trained her for about a year.
She is an excellent circus rider, but
gave up the practice because she could
not keep a horse of her ow n. With
strange norses circus riding is danger
ous work. Mine. Zarah is ijuito a lin
guist, speaking Spanish like a ni'ive
ami French quite fluently. She also
converses iu the Malay tongue and in
Hiudostance.
Mine. Zuila is a small but well-built
woman. She is a high-wire evolution
ist, what Mr. liarmim, when a young
man, used to call a tight-rope dancer,
she performs some wonderful feats on
th' high wire, such as walking across
with her feel encased in baskets, walk
ing over blindfolded, and with a sack
over her; but her most daring deed is
riding across on a bicycle. She was
born in Sydney, Australia, and was
trained by her husband, Mr. (ieorge
Loyall. She has been in the profession
thirteen years, has travelled considera
bly, and is proud of decorations from
the Kinperor of lirazil, the King ot
Siam, and the Mikado of Japan. She
has plenty of nerve, and is quite in
loe with her work. Mie has had ono
accident. Some yeais ago in Indiana
her balance pole broke, and she fell
from the wire. After ten days, how
ever, she was again performing, she
has one girl 1' years old, who is a trick
bicycle -ider.
Mile. 1; Fevre. sppii in an ordinary
black dress, looks a little hotly, but
w hen in costume her development of
arm is surprising, and her achieve
ments on the zenith floating ring re
markable. She is a Californian, a
vidow, and the mother of a 14-year-
mo. ;w.
old girl. Mlie. la I'evro was so unfor
tunate three years ago in Indian.-ipolis
as to fall with a trapeo. Her great
trick is the rapid descent of a rope, Lao
downward. Like nil female gymna-ts,
sho is, : ht!.says, oblivious of her audi
ences. All these performers are
obliged to concentrate their whole at
tention upon their work, and applause
or disapproval is quite lo-d upon them
lor the time being.
Most of these ladies have an exalted
opinion of their profession, and won
der why society tloci not take to them
more kindly. Tlcy consider them

The Manufacture ol Oilcloth. j
la making iloor oilcloth the process1
requires alino-l as many manipulations
in the way of painting and polishing as 1
a line carriage body. The body of all ;
iloor oilcloth is burlap. The material is
first sized, which is done by treating!
I
it to a saturation of dissolved glue. It
passes then through fifteen lu-ate I wire j
rollers, which not only dries ir, but -presses
the glue witer into the porous
material and removes all in -qualities of '
surface. It thou passes to the paint'
rooms to receive its first and many sub- I
sequent coats of paint, the principal in-
gredient of which is ochre. The paint j
is liberally put on, and th.' cloth, after j
passing under a roller to press out su- .
periluous paint, is run on long racks 1
through a room in which are heated!
steam pipes. After remaining on the'
j racks a prescribed number of hours the j
j cloth is run through a machine where 1
' it is piiiiiice-.'toiie.l down to a perfect j
j .smoothness. It then receives a second'
coat of paint and is again pumice-1
stoned, and soon until tho requisite!
number of coats are put on on both ;
sides. The well-prepared material now !
goes into the hands ol the printer. This j

Sunlit Roiiiii'.
No article ol furniture should bt"
put iu a room that will not stand sun- :
light, for every room in a dwelling
house should have the w indows so ar- :
ranged that sonu-iinr? during the day
a flood of sunlight will force itse!t
into the apartment. The important.'!
of admitting the light of the miii freely 1
to all parts of our dwellings can not:
be too highly estimated. In-Iced per--feet
health is nearly as much depen- '
dent mi pure sunlight a-, it i mi pure
air. Sunlight should never be exclud- :
ed except when so bright as to be un
comfortable to the eye. And walk;
should b - in bright sunlight, s.t that
the eyes are protected by a veil or para
sol w hen the light is too intense. j
A sun-bath is of more importance in '
preserving a healtiili.l condition ot !
body than is generally understood. A j
sun-bath costs nothing, and that is ; 1
misfortune, for people are delitdeii j
with the idea that those things car
only be good or useful which cost:
money. Hut remember that pure w a J
ter, fresh air and sunlit homes, kept
free from dampness. Mill secure vol. J
from many heavy bills of the doctor
and give you health and vigor which
no money can procure. It is now ;
well established fact that the people
who live much in the sun are ustia.H
stronger and more healthy than those
whoso occupation tlepr.ves them nt
sunlight. And certainly there is noth
ing strange iu the result, since tin
law applies with equal force to evert
animate thing iu nature. It is quid
easy to arrange an isolated dwelling
so that every room may be lltiotlei
with sunlight some time in the day
and it is possible that many towt
houses can bo so buill as to ndmi
moreliuht than thev now receive.

I'aiNDUs .lei-sev Cows,
Some of t he most successful breed
ing, judged by modern standards, has
been accomplished by men who are
prominent in other fields. Colonel
Richard M. Iloe. whose inventions and
improvements in printing presses
have revolutionized the business of
print in-, and rendered his name fa
miliar throughout the world, is almost
as widely known as the breeder of tho
famous eiiu s Alphea, 171, and l'.u ro
tas -l-'t. liven the excessive demand
of his ir a' business could not alto
eether overcome his love of animals,
and "Hrightside," his little farm above
II. irlem River, w ill remain historical
long after it. has disappeared beneath
the brick and mortal' and pa.viuents
if an advancing city. It was there
that he bu d Alphea, an incomparable
cow, whos-' blood is still potent in
many a valuable herd. H-t unforced
tests a! t!ie ra'e 1 f over twi-nty-nino
pounds of butt r a week, with only six
quarts ot u'l'-und feed a day in addi
tion to pa-darc. and her repented trials
on grass alone at tin; rate oftiventy
tlirec to twenty -four and a half
pounds nf butter a week, mark her as
a marvellous animal. From her ha
bred I'.uropa, and from Knropa came
Furotas, that in the herd of Mr. A. H.
Darling ma de 77 pounds 1 ounce of
butter u eleven months and live days,
and iliopp 'd a calf w .thin a year from
the bcginiiii'g of the (est. Here was
superlative merit for three generi .ions
in the blood: audit did not end wita
llurotas, for although she had no
daughters that lived to come into milk,
Mr. Darling bred a granddaue liter,
possessing also the blood of his great,
cow Violet of Darlington, "i.'iTd, that

A I. idle One's Reaso ilng,
A lady entertaining the little
daughter of a Iriend for a few days
was one evening edified by tho fol
lowing 1 it of reasoning on the little
maid's part. The full moon was clear
and bright, whereupon tho child ex
claimed : ''rs. S., 00k, (ioil has
lighted his lantern!" Hut who told
you that v n (iod's lantern?" was the
surprised n piiry. "Xobotly. I knew
it myself. Doesn't (iml give you n
light for y. nr bouse? And did you
think he gave it all to you and sat in
the dark himself?" And the child
gave this explanation in evident con
empt for the stupidity of any ori
itho didn't understand so simple
