A Waltz• $uadrille..
',rhe bind was playinga waltz -quadrille,
afelt as light as a wind-blown feather,
s we floated away, at the player's will
Through the intricate, inazy dance together,
Like mimio armies our lines,wore meeting,
;Illowly advancing, andthen retreating,
i311 deoked in their bright array ;
,hand back and forth to stir music a rhyme,
'WO moved together, and all the time
xknew you wore going away.
,The fold of your strong arm Fent a thrill
IIJ.rom heart to brain as we gently glided
Lite leaves on the waves of that waltz -quad-
rille ;
:Parted, mot, and again divided—
,You dri'ting one way, and l another,
'Theosuddenly turning and facing each other,
Then off in a blithe ohassee ;
Then airily back to our planes swaying.
'While every beat of the music seemed saying
Then you were guingaway.
1 said to any heart,," Let us take our fill
Of mirth, and music, and love; and laughter ;
,dyer it must end withthis waltz -quadrille,
.And life will be never the same lite after."
iOh, that the caller might go on calling,
Oh. that the music might go on falling
Like a shower of silver spray ;
'"While we whirled on to the vast Forever,
Where no hearts break, and no ties sever,
.land no one goes away.
clamor, a crash, and the band was still,
"Twits the end of the dream, and the end of the
measure ;
'The last low cotes of that waltz -quadrille
Seemed like a dirge o'er the death of Pleasure.
You said good-night,and the spell was over—
'Too warm for a friend, and too cold for a
lover—
There was nothing else to say.

weary,
and the music was sad, and the halrwas

Era WHEELER WILCOX.,
TIDE NECKLACE,
She was one of those attraotive girls who,
as if by some mistake, are occasionally born
into a family of clerks. She had neither
expectations, means nor dowry. She mar-
ried a little clerk at the Ministry of Public
Instruction. She dressed plainly and she
was very miserable, as if she had fallen from
her proper station.
She had no gowns, no jewels, nothing of
'the lriud, and she loved only magnificence.
Oae .evening her husband returned home
with a triumphant air and holding a large
%envelope in his hand. " There," said he,
28:Sommething for you."
She tore the letter sharply and drew out
as printed card which bore the words
Tho Minister of Public Instruction and
Mime. Georges Rampaaneau request the
honor of M. and Mme. Loisel's company at
the parlors of the Ministry on Monday
,evening, Jan. 18."
Instead of being delighted as her husband
expected she threw the invitation on
the table with disgust, murmuring, " What
aball I do with that."
"But, my dear, I thought you would be
glad. I had a lot of trouble getting it." She
ooked at him with a flashing eye.
" What shall I wear ?"
" How much would a suitable dress
acost r'
She reflected several seconds, figuring out
the amount, and wondering also what sum
ate could ask without drawing on herself
an immediate refusal.
Finally she said doubtfully :
" I think I could manage with 400
francs."
Be grew a little pale, because that was
Inlet the amount that he had laid aside to
treat himself to a little vacation.
However, he said " All right, I will
;give you the 400 francs."
Roe husband asked her one evening,
ea What is the matter ? Wby have you;
Liean:so queer these last three days:?"
She answered : " It annoy me not -to
have a single jewel, nob a single stone,
=thing to put on."
But her husband exclaimed : - " How
abupid you are. Go look up your friend,
Mme. Forestier, and ask her to lend you
name jewels."
Sbe uttered a Dry of joy. " It's true, I
mever thought of it."
The next day she went to her friend and
tte1$oi her distress.
Inline. Forestier got a large jewel box and
maid to Mine. Loisel : " Choose, my dear."
She saw firab of all some bracelets, and
then a pearl necklace, then a Venetian Dross
rof gold and preoious stones off fine workman -
,• all of a sudden she discovered, in a black
natin box, a superb diamond necklace, and
her heart beat with extreme desire. Her
lands trembled as she took it. She fastened
it around her throat, outside her high -
'necked dress, and remained lost in ecstasy
;at the sight of herself.
Then she asked, hesitating, filled, with
anguish :
' Oan'you lend me that—only that ?''
" Why, yes ; certainly."
She sprang upon the neck of her friend,
lamed her passionately, then fled with her

And thie life lasted 10 years,
At the end of 10 years they had paid

Mme. Loisel looked old now. She had
become the woman of impoverished house-

froway hair and skirts askew, and red
hands, she talked loud while washing the
Amer with great splaahes of water.
One Sundy having gone to take a walk
in the Champs Elysees to refresh herself
from the labors of the week, Mme. Loisel
suddenly perceived a woman who was lead-
ing a child. It was Mme. Forestier, still
young, still beautiful, atilt charming.
She went up. "Good day, Jeanne."
The other aurpriaed, did not recognize'
her, and stammered : " But—madam 1 I
do not know—you must be mistaken."
" No, I stn Mathilde Loisel."
Her friend uttered a cry, "" Oh, my poor

" Yes I have had days hard enough since

that because of you."

" I brought you back another just like it.
And for this we have been ten years paying.

Mme, Forestier had stopped.
" You say that you bought a necklace of
diamonds to replace mine ?'
" Yes. You never noticed it, then ! They
were very like.
And she smiled with a joy which was
proud and naive at once.
Mme. Forestier, strongly moved, took her
two hands.

ANTE -NUPTIAL ATTENTIONS.
A Year of Marriage Scents to Completely
Annul Them.
What is there in the whole economy of
nature that impels the average man to
make patent to the world the fact—or the
implied fact—that he regarde hie wife,
when at home or abroad, only as an unim
portant, if necessary, part of his imperial
se
His ante -nuptial attentions may have
been the most devoted, his bouquets larger
and costlier than those given to other girls
in the same set with apparently as devoted
cavaliers.
But now, while no absolute brutality
exists or could be implied, the lover of by-
gone days is transformed into a prosaic and,
to say the least, careless husband of the
period.
To bo sure, it may be argued, he is not
now as then on exhibition, but those little
attentions that seemed once so natural and
at the same time so delightful in the lover
are sadly missed and longed for with
genuine heart•hunger by the wife thus
neglected.
It is not for an instant that she respects
or would entertain the thought that her
husband had grown in the least cold toward
her or that his devotion was not as strong
and steadfast as ever, but these little name-
less attentions once so generously given are
now missing, and with the freer confidence
since marriage comes the little laxities in
devotion so soon felt by women and so woe-
fully practised by men after marriage.
It may seem a small thing, the raising of
a
hat, the picking up of a stray sheet of
music, the adjustment of a wrap—all these
appear to come naturally to the lover, why
not to the husband sinoe she has given her
life and: her happiness into his keeping.
Small things, perhaps, but life is made up
of trivialties, and when it is so easy to do
so, wby not pay these little attentions to
those you dearly love A Yea as fully as
you did when they th i,• •e=wore yet to
be won.—Philadelphia?.

"i GIRLS 1 HAVE EDUCATED."
The gonfeseions of a Naed Journalist and
Philanthropist,
NE9,I1LX LOUR HUNDRED GIRLB RELBED,
An article a little above the ordinary in
interest is that of George W. Childe, the
editor and philaubhroplst, who writes as
follows on " Gir1e I Have Educated," inthe
current number of the Ladies' ,Home
/owner,
" Girls, as a rule, respond more quickly
to the fascinations of study than do boy,
and I have always felt that they deserved
as many chances.
" So far as my personal experiences are
concerned gratitude has been the rule in
almost every case where T have sought, by
the means within my power, to make it
possible for girls to acquire practical
training. I' have up to this time educated,
or rather been the means of educat-
ing, between three or four hundred
girls, and in every case I have been
rewarded by their gratitude, their aptitude,
their general excellence in behaviour, and
their more than general success in their
chosen careers. The girls in whom I have
been especially interested, and who I al-
ways feel have first claims upon me, are the
daughters of journalists --the men and
women of my own profession are always
nearest my heart. After them come the
daughters of olergymen. As a rule, the
children of newspaper men are gniok and
ready to grasp opportunities, and it has
therefore been with particular pleasure
that I have afforded them opportunities to
help themselves.
" These girls have come from almost
every State in the Union. They have been
brought to mynotice through their fr iend
and through strangers. One young girl
came all the way froin a small town in
Norway to my offioe in Philadelphia.
"0 these girls, strange to say, not one
has entered the newspaper profession.
There have been covered lawyers and
doctors, many.teaohers, artists,bookkeepers,
accountants, cashiers and secrebaries,
trained nurses and elocutionists, and
several aspirants for the lyric and dramatio
stage.
" The teachers have, without exception,
been sucoesaful, so have the graduates of
law and medicine and of the Nurses' Train-
ing School. The girls who had ambitions for
public careers have met with only ordinary
success. Probably those trained for elocu-
tionists have made the most money.
"'The girls of musical and arbistio capa-
bilities have been given every advantage pos.
sibleinthe way of homeandforelgn training.
Several of thenr have been educated in
Paris, several in Berlin, others in Vienna.
In the selection of schools and teachers
there has been no general rule ; sometimes
I have selected both, at other times the
girls or their friends have made their
choice. In all cases only the best of either
have been employed. For one girl who
seemed especially endowed with a voice,
Madame Christine Nilsson was requested to
select the teacher. The salaries received
by these girls have averaged from five
hundred to several thousand dollars a year ;
one received as high as five thousand.
"All the girls have become self-support-
ing, most of them have married, and all (I
think I am safe in saying this) have made
good wives. All of them have deferred to
my request that the men of their choice
should be honest and wel fable to take care
of them, and, as far as I know, not one of
them has found a husband who has pre-
sumed upon his wife's ability to earn
money to expect her to contribute to his
support.
It is not generosity that has made nue
helpful in this reaped tto' girls ; it is in part
selfishness. I want to see where•mymoney
goes. I want to know that it is circulat-
ing ; that it is doing good. I sometimes
feel that the only money I have is that
which I have given away. The rest is just
waiting. The money that I have spent
upon other people has been that which I
have most enjoyed. Manyrrich men have
done as muob, many have {done more. I
think Mr. Drexel has (Tonle' the noblest,
work of all by founding, his School of Incluse',

Can a woman word a telegram briefly and
confine herself to the cold facts ? The
journalistic humorists of this country have
decided with a unanimous voice that she
cannot, and even many sober-minded news-
papers have lent editorial indorsement to
the idea. Telegraphers, however, say she
can. One of them also declares that " a
woman's telegram is really a model of
brevity, and seldom, if ever, exceeds the
ten -word Iimit ; in fact, it is usually neat,
oohoise and to the point, and, in this
respect, it will average up, I must confess,
better than that from the man. All of the
necessary information, usually of an im-
portant nature, is compressed within that
brief space. How they do it so well l don't
know, unleas it is by some sorb of intuition..
They also furnish that which operators, like
printers, always want—' good copy.' Itis
very seldom that a telegrapher stumbles on
some blind or obscure word in their de-
spatches or has to study patiently to ask
what it is. The operators in this office do
not do so over twice a year, while they
' fall down ' almost daily on messages from
men."
It seems to be part of woman's very life
to be religious ; reverential awe runs in her
blood, and credence is the arterial system
of her spiritual nature. She is beset with
no doubt, as man is ; she feels thab there
must be an all-powerful. Being and a diviner
life, and she does not attempt to reason it
out for herself. It is sufficient to her that
the theory of these things finds an answer-
ing chord in her heart, without dissecting
the vibration. Woman goes to church
from principle—she says. She may not
hear a word of the service by reason
of her mind being filled with outside
concerns, but she feels that she has
at least obeyed the letter of the
law, and it may serve to protect her from
evil. She is afraid to be wicked ; afraid of
defying an unknown power; afraid to
ignore the impressions made on her con-
science in her childish years. With man
it is another story. He reasons out what
he considers the wheat from the chaff --and
he can subsist upon what would be husks to
a woman. Then when he needs it moat, he
borrows his religion at second hand, from
his mother, wife or little child.
He is an indifferent churchgoer ; expects
to be instructed, entertained, or perhaps to
kill time or keep up his standing in the
community.

Thegreat cit of London naps for domestic
9
purposea, street watering, sewer flushing,
fire extinction and trade about 200,000,000
gallons a day. The area of supply extends
far beyond the boundaries of the count of
London, and is estimated to contain apopu-
lation
o u-
lation of 5,500,000. Rather more than half
the water supplied is taken from the
Thames, about 30 per cent. from the Lea,
and the remainder from springs and wells.
All the companies supplying water from
the Thames or Lea have aubsidenoe reser-
voirs, into which the water is first turned
to allow such of the suspended solid matter
as will to settle, -as well as filter
beds, through which the water must
afterward pass before entering the
reservoirs supplying the public.
The nature of the material used for filter-
ing varies. A layer of fine sand, from two
to four and a half feet in depth, forms the
surface. Layers of shells, noggin, coarse
gravel and bouldrs form the lower strata,
but the surface is more important than the
lower layers. A very ingenious contrivance
has been patented for washing sand from
the filter beds, as well es all new sand
employed. The sand is thrown into an iron
hopper from wheelbarrows. A jet of water
at high pressure drives it up a pipe into a
second hopper. Arriving there, the heavier
particles sink, while the lighter, including
the accumulation of mud, run away In an
overflow of water. This operation is gone
through in nine hoppers, when the sand is
delivered crisp and fresh into a trolley,
ready to be spread upon the filter lied, The
companies 'together have fifty-three sub-
siding reservoirs for unfiltered water,
covering 480 acres, and possessing a
capacity nearly 1,300,000,000 gallons,
and 107 alter beds, covering nearly 110
acres.

" I` cannot imagine why I am so tired all
the time. It seems to me that I do very
little," said a woman, drawing herself to a
chair and sitting down wearily.
" How many times a day do you go up
and down stairs ?" inquired a friend. The
house was in a city, high and narrow, with
four long stairways, three of which inter-
vened between the kitchen and the mother's
" own room."
" Why, not very often ; I don't know. I
have a good many errands about the house,
here and there, and my impulse is usually
to wait on myself. I suppose I spend a good
deal of strength on the stairs now that I
think of it."
" And, pardon the suggestion, but you
are always looking out for others so much
and so generously, that others ought to
look out for you ; have you ever thought
how often you are interrupted in the
progress of the day ? The ordering of the
house is the first thing, but some trifle is
forgotten, pepper or salt, flavor or season-
ing, and you are consulted about that.
Then your big boy comes to you with his
necktie and his cuffs, and your 4 -year-old
has pinched his finger and needs comfort-
ing ; your daughters have no end of affairs
inewhich you must be the oounseller, and
your husband leaves the Weight of his per-
plexities rnd the alt ility that grows
out of his overworif on 'your ever 'ready
strength. Dear, it isnot wonderful that
you are tired ! The wonder:+ 'is that you
neat so soon, after a nap, ora little time by
yourself, coining out to the 'family made
oyer again."
" But what, can I: do ? a All that you
ention forma part orthe everyday duty of
omen like myself,)whose main work in
e world is to keep her home happy and
omfortable."
" Onceln a while you might call a halt.
You should pack a little bag and run away
for a three da • ' . eavrng the house-
keeping to the yo 'ulder, which will
find it only a •slip en. It is an im-
perative duty, ocoasrs . ; fly, to take care of
one's capital, if one be a wife and a
mother." In the interest of the rest, for
the sake of the days that are coming, a
atron must be provident of her own
ealth,not suffering herself to drift into
nervousprostration or wearisome invalidism.
There are graves not a few over which the
inscription might be written : " Here lies

ired to death." And in most cases
e bame is not Theodore's, but Mary's
