The unexpected eine.st.
If there is any annoying thing in the life
of a housewife it is the arrival of a guest
by invitation of the husband. tinder such
circumstances much good taste and consid-
eration must needs be shown on all sides.
instance, I heard of such a case where,
when the husband and his guest arrived, it
was to find the wife ill in bed, where she
had retired after preparing an exceedingly
plain meal consisting of codfish, baked
potatoes, bread and better and tea. The
wife nerved herself to leave her bed and
preside at the meal and all hands behaved
ipxactly as though everything bad transpired
- according to previous arrangement and
mutual consultation. I'll warrant the
husband and wife had an interview on the
subject later in the day and I am certain
that both agreed that their guest was a
perfect gentleman. --Detroit Free Press.

This is the way one woman rescued a
carpet from dust and destruction, and made
it almost like new. The carpet was tricked
to a frame that raised it a good distance
from the ground, .and each breadth was
scrubbed with a brush, using tepid water
and good white soap. Next it was rinsed
and dried as well as possible by rubbing
with cleaq cloths. The rest of the drying
was left, to the wind and sun. The carpet
should be shaken and grease helots removed
with gasoline or benzine before scrubbing.

"M* UNCLE'S" HIJSINESS,
A, Sharp Pawnbroker (lives. lla Some Trade
Secrets.
"To be a stet:meet pawnbroker ote
must heve a thorough knowledge of the
value of jewelry, a general knowledge oimportantinf
the business and, more still, must
be a perfect student of human nature," said
an uptown novntroker to the New York
Herald. " Without the therough know-
ledge of the value of jewelry he will never
be able to estimatein advance the profib on
a loan he is asked to snake, and without the
knowledge of intnian nature he is absolutely
worthless in the business.
"For instapoe, say a men comes in here
with a valuable watch to pawn, He wants
$150 on it. Wow if Inn a student of
human natore I can tell, in a moment
whether that man intends. to redeem the
watch or whether he intends to let it remain
here until the ticket expires and I have the
legal right to^sell it, if his face tells me
that he will not redeem the watch I let him
have only $75 on it, for then my profits on
ita sale will be larger, but on the Other
hand, if I can tell by his face that he intends
to redeem the watch, why I willingly let
him have $150, for my interest on the loan
will amount to more and my profits on the
transaction will be larger. All these points
are considered by a good pawnbroker who
understands his business."
Questioning the pawnbroker further, I
learned many interesting things about both
the loan office business and about the
jewelry trade. "If you want to buy
diamonds," said my inforillent, "go to a
respectable jeweller and pay the full market
price, for there is no such thing as getting
than, at very much below their value, unless
there is some flaw in the stones or some
reason for selling them Cheaply. If a stone
has been stolen then the thief has a very
good reason for selling, and does not want
to come in contact 'with the dealer for fear
of discovery; '
"Under those oiremnstances you might
obtain a stone cheap, but if you, go to an
auction or sheriffs sale, or anything of that
kind, dont 'expect to find bargains, for you
will be disappointed, and pay probably
more than the value of the diamond
bought. The dealers have a man at every
sale to buy the' diamonds that sell cheap,
and they are not going to let you get in
ahead of them on bargains. They will bid
to the full value of the stone offered, and all
you bid above that price is profit to the
seller. I have watched those bargain sales
for a good many years and I never saw an
ouesicler. buy a diamond at less than its
value.
"Now, about the pawnbroking business,
I can tell ,you a few of the trioks of the
wicked, by which many unsuspecting citi-
zens are taken in. The pawn ticket'
game is the one most frequently practised
and the profits are almost invariably gfeat.
A man goes to a pawnbroker and borrows,
say, $100 on a atone worth perhaps $125 or
$150. The pawnbroker lends him the
money, because he believes that the stone
will be redeemed. There is a general
impression that a pawnbroker lends only
one-quarter of the value of a stone, but as
have explained to you that is where they
make their mistake. Now the man who has
pawned his diamond visits a stranger and
states his desire to sell the ticket for
the diamond, fixing the value of the stoneat
say $400, saying that the pawnbroker only
lends one-quarter of the value of the arti-
cle. The purchaser believes him and also
believes in the popular theory, and pays say
$150 for the ticket, bringing the cost of the
dia,mond to him at $250, which with inter-
est amounts to more than double the value
of the stone. The result is that the pur-
chaser is badly stuck, while the man who
has sold him the ticket can invest in another
diarnond and play the same game with SOME
other victim.
"Sometimes the pawnbroker himself is
the victim of the game of the sharper, as
was the case some years ago. A watch con-
cern up ommtry announced to the jewelry
trade that on a certain day they would place
on the market a gold stem-winding watch
which could be sold at a profitfor $30.
This was too good a chance to be lost. So
on the day that the watches were delivered
a party of young men started from this city
for the West. At every station one of the
party would leave the train and visit the
pawnbrokers in the town. Taking one of
the new watches the dealer would pawn it
for $40 or $50 and skip the town with the
profits of the . transaction. They made a
very rich haul as the watch was unknown
to the pawnbroker and he proved an easy
victim."

1110MOUS 1104APITY"
Mr. Carrell D, Wright, the Massachiesetts
atatistician, has performed a eervice which
ought to be greatly appreolated, by
[eating evidence not only in the United
States, but in Europe, to disprove the state,
rnent quite commonly made that the faetory
has increased immorality among women.
He says the popular impreerdon is that so
far as wageworkers are concerned, the
morals of woman are not up to the etandard
of the old Bestow of labor, in which She
took little or no pert, and the entrance of
woman into the industriel field bee lowered
her mend standard. His view is radically
• opposed to this impression, and he states
that his investigation, in whatever direc-
tion he has turned his attention, prove that
the working women of Amerme and of
all countries are ulion as high a plane
• of purity as any class in the community.
In 1881 he Made an extended personal
inquiry into the condition surrounding
factorylife n tile 'United States and Europe,
He found that in Manchester only eight out
of fifty immoral women, according to the
Official returns of the penitentiary, came
from the factory in that oily, and 29 out -of
50 from domestic service He found that
in all the British factory towns the ranks of
the inanaoral and the criminal lista were in-
creased to a smaller extent by the factory
population than by other classes. The
manager connected with the firm of Coates
& Co., of Paisley, Scotland, a man who has
been in Service more than forty years, in-
formed him that during that whole period
no one had ever gone from those works inta
a life of immorality. He was able to draw
very clear co iclusions, which were, in
almost every c tse, favorable to the working
people,rboth male and female.
The police records of Fall River, Mass.,
one of the largest textile cities in America,
• and where the records 'are very perfeet,
ehowecl that the operatives supplied 33 per
cent. of the whole nunaber of arrests, while
• they constituted 38 peeent. of the velaole
population over 10 years of age; and the
factory population of Lowell, which was
30 per cent, of the entire population over
10 years of age in that city, furnished but
22 per cent. of the whole number of persons
arrested. In the great shoo factory city of
Lynn the shoe factories furnish 28 per cent.
of the whole population over 10 years of
age, and but 22 per coot of the persons
arrested. These facts are 'quite repre-
sentative in their character, and they should
dispel the prevailing impression that the
bulk of the crime of manufacturing towns
comes from tbe factory.
With regard to Boston the testimony was
most gratifying. "All the officers with
whom the experts conversed on the subject
gave similar testimony. The Conclusion of
that investigation was that, so far as their
moral condition was concerned, the work-
ing women of the city of Boston were
making a heroic, honest and virtuous
struggle to earn an honorable livelihood,
and that it was rare that one of them could
be found leading an- improper life. The
font that here and there a girl forlakes a
path of virtue and leads a sinful life should
not be used to the detriment of the class to
which she belongs, especially when her life
41 peculiarly exposed to temptation, as is
ene case with girls struggling on $5 a week.
It is exceedingly easy to be good on a sure
and generous income; but it requires the
strongest character to enable one to be good
on an unstable income of $5 per week."
These statements are publielied in the
Forum. In the same number of the
magazine is another article by E. L. Godkin
on "Idleness and Immorality," in the
course of which the writer says :
"There is one .distraction, however, of
which the idle class can hardly be said ever
to tire and which idle people can hardly he
considered capable of avoiding, and that is
the distraction of love -making under more
or less illicit conditions. When men end
women are thrown together in the midst of
luxury without duties or responsibility, and
without exposure to any criticism except
what comes from persons similarly situated,
the possibilities of scandal grow very
rapidly, and • the air is soon filled
with it. In highly civilized societies
the code of - propriety ia largely framed
and enforced by women, and its basal as-
sumption is that when young persons of
both sexes are thrown together with noth-
ing to do, they need, whether married or
single, to be closely supervised. When re-
moved from the restraints of home and
work, as in the large country -houses in
England or on the Continent, encleas in the
fashionable resorts, such as Pau or Monte
Carlo, which are crowded with the rieh and
idle both summer and winter, the air be-
comes charged with amorous electricity.
Hunting, polo, lawn tennis, gambling,
dinner -giving, altpall in the long run, or are
confined to certain seasons, but
the ewige Weib remains as a per-
ennial resource. The murders, the duels,
or the elopements which every now and
then occur, impressive as they are, give but
a slight idea of the moral turmoil which
goes on below the surface."
Contrasting these two statements, one
can well agree with Mr. Wrig.ht's conclu-
sion that regular employment is conducive
to regular living, and that regular sanploY-
tient does not, as a rule, harmonize with a
life of intemperance, or even of crime. The
factory girl whose character al not good
usually finds herself in an atmosphere not
congenial at first, and finally so chilling that
she leavea the establishment. What there
is in factory employment that is not in
other employments that would tend to an
unchaste life he has been unable to dis-
cover.

• The Battle of the mowers.
For some time before the retirement of
Attalla Claire from "La Gigide" and the
watchful eyes of Lillian Russell there was a
slight misunderstanding between the beton
tiful and bewitching queens of the opera.
When the troupe visited Boston the uni-
versity gallants took especial care to
shower their bouquets upon the charming
Attalie. Floral offerings of magnificent
design and exquisite workmanship followed
in rapid, succession. 16 was difficult to
assign a reason for all this, for Lillian
wall
. lag less attrectine taco and
formthan the fair Attaiie. Bat
you ug men are fanciful sometimes,
and perhaps Miss Claire, coming from
a foreign shore (she is a Canadian by birth
and is now living in Toronto) and being a
a stranger in a strange land, there was
awakened that feeling of sympathy which
blooms perennially in the manly heart for
beautiful strangers in exile. However this
may be, true it is that, in the language of
the club room'the boys went wild over the
lovely AttaileClaire. But the more wild
the young men became ,the mere Miss Lil-
lian Russell felt that the world was slippeg
away from her and that her star was fast
fading to one of second or third magnitude.
This state of things could not last, and
the two brilliant stars that bad been held
in conjunction so long were parted and
moved off in different and constantly
widening' spheres. Now comes the
romance of the affair. The mystere
of the shower of college bouquets
is made apparent. Young Kayne,
a 23 -year-old senior of Columbia College,
was the instigator of the beautiful floral
tributes. He fell in love with Vise Claire,
and the triumph of his wooing was made ap-
parent on Easter Sunday when the two
were publicly betrothed and the marriage
announced to take place in Paris in Septem-
ber. • Mr. Kayne is reported to be wealthy.
He lives at Newburg -on -the -Hudson. His
parents are both dead. His father was a
membeu of the well known dry goods houlie
of Chittenden & Kaye of New York and
Paris. It is said that he will give Miss
Claire $35,000 in bridal jewelry, a house on
Fifth .avenue, New York, and $7,000
annuity. And this is the sequel of the
battle of the flowers. There are triumphs
for both the ladies. Lillian had her triumph
when she forced Miss Claire from "Ln Ci -
gale," and now it is Miss Claire who can sit
in the firelight and see strange images in the
glowibg coals.—Barato News.
A Home of Her Own.
Most young wives desire to have a home
of their own ; and though the mother is
loathe to lose her dealing, she cannot deny
her the privilege of following her mate, as
the mother did before her,
says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. Indeed, it is considered
an undesirable thing by most mothers to
have a house full of "old maids." But it
is a fact, in spite of this feeling, that many
mothers do not prepare their daughters for
happy Marriages. They neglect to teach
them, the commonest duties of a house-
keeper, under the mistaken idea, whioh
they hold of love and tenderness, that they
do not want their daughters to have so hard
a life as they have. Bub if they are not
property educated their lot will be even
harder.
Besides having a knowledge of cookery,
the young woman needs to know how to
faishion and make garments for ordinary
wear, for we rarely find an average family
in our country communities that is able to
hire all the necessary cutting, fitting and
sewing without seriously clipping its re-
sources for other needs. • One need not, in
order to be thrifty and economical,' always
be her own dressmaker, or her good man's
tailor, for there is often real economy in
getting these heavy jobs off one's hands,
thus leaving the wife readier and stronger
for the many duties constantly arising,
which no one else can do so well. • But the
plain sewing can be most neatly and say-
ingly done at home under the careful,
instructive eye of the "house mother,"
even though she can afford to hire assist-
ance.

Reanerse for Causing a Crazy Man to Rill
His Wife.
A Pittsburg despatch says : A year ago
on the 23rd of last January William Faulk,
a German farmer, of Bellevue, shot and
killed his wife. He was arrested, and upon
a plea of insanity was sent to Dixmont
Insane Asylum. George Knauff, an old
farmer, who claims to be a witch doctor,
had really been the cause of the murder. It
was stated that Knauff had told Faulk that
he was to kill the first rat he saw, as it was
the devil: If he failed he would have to
kill his wife as a sacrifice. The rat got
away and he killed his wife. Yesterday
Knauff, who is 70 years old, called at the
• coroner's office, and said that if he was the
cause of Mrs. Faulk's murder he wanted to
be hanged. Sins° the trial he said his life
had been unbearable. He could not ret
work, and bis own children bad shat the
door upon him. Knauff denies that Faulk
was insane, and claims that Faulk killed
his wife becituse he was jealous of a hired
man. Knauff says he would have com-
mitted suicide long ago if it had not been
for the diegrace of it The old man was
heartbroken, and asked to be locked up.
The coroner finally persuaded him to go
home, promising him to look into the case.

HE WILL BE EXTRADITED.

DErzonvE MURRAY INDENTIPIES HIS MAN
John Murray, chief of the Ontario Gov
ernment Detective Department, arrived in
Toronto last evening from St. Paul, Minn.,
where he was suocetsful in securing anorder
for the extradition of Edward Paling, the
confidence man who in September, 1890.
obtained $1,000 from G. W. Scott, private
banker, Listowel, Ont., on a forged draft.
The particulars of Faling's arrest at New
Brighton, near St. Paul, by Detective Mur-
ray, after a pursuit through various cities
of theUnion, have already been published.
Faling was located in one of the most out-
of-the-way localities of Minnesota, and when
arrested remarked that he would willingly
give three years of his life to find out who
had "peached " on him.
Detective Murray had Paling arraigned
before Judge Spencer, 17. S. Commissioner,
and his attorney, George Johns, the noted
Republican politician, made a determined
fight for the release of the accused, claiming
that it was a case of mistaken identity.
Feline, himself entered the witness box and.
swore that he was never in the Province of
Ontario, nor even in Canada. His brother
i sortot. t he
and a man named Collins (the valueof whose
testimony WaS destroyed by Murray proving
• him to be a suspected Buffalo crook) gave
similar testiniony. A Mre. Bennett, who
claimed to be an aunt of the prisoner, and
several others swore that Feting was in Min-
nesota when the forged order was passed on
e
e other hand Constab
On le Woods, of
w
1, Ont., who introduced the bogus
horse buyer to Scott, positively identified
Ealing as the man.
W. L. Yoder, c shier of the First
National Bank at Mahoney City, Pa., testi-
fied that the draft passed on Scott was a
ght continued for six days, and on
forgery.
Thefi
Saturday last Judge Spencer committed
Faling for extradition and forwarded a
transcript of the proeeedings to the State
Department at Washington.
