Fickle April.
April is a queer one—
Match—it's hard to find ;
Mighty like a woman—
Never knows her mind.
Fera shinin, minute,
Smilin' powerful sweet ;
Then--rearin', tearin'
An' stampin' of her'feet
One-third o' December,
Cold, an stiff as starch;
Little bit o' August,
An' half a Hole o' March !
Sometimes sweetly dreamin'—
Lyin' still as death ;
'Nother second, screamin'
An' blowin'—out o' breath.
Funniest kind o' weather ;
But April's had her day,
An' now the world is rollin'
In the meadows o' the May !

Women are found to -dap in want' an
employment which until very recently

There are two very. large ad.
vertisrng agencies in Boston, the
member's of both firsts being wo-
men and all their employes women.
They make their contracts and attend to
the most intricate husiuess probleme
themselves, and have large contracts for
entire railroads and street cars in the
largest cities in the United States. One
woman who had an excellent musical
education iu her youth took a thorough
and systematic course in the theoretical
study and practice of piano tuning, and
soon proved her capacity in excelling
the stale competitors in the establish-
ment. She has now a very large num-
ber of patrons and comfortably supports
herself and two children. The first wo-
man railroad president in the United
States succeeded her husband on his
death ; he was the president of the
Peensboro and Harrisville Railroad,
The First National Bunk of Lexington,
Neb., has for its president Mre. H. R.
Temple, and for vice-president Miss
Temple. The recent election of the wife
of a senior member of a large New York
firm of short-liues railway builders as
president of the Heins Medius Valley
Railroad Coiripany iu Texas crakes the
second instance of a woman appointed
to fill this position. There is only one
woman railroad engineer. There is
a little stretch of road known
as the Cairo Short Line, and on
this the daughter of one of its chief
owners .rode to scuool daily, and at a
very early age seemed deeply interested
in machinery, and always had the
workings of the engine explained.
Finally she manifested a greater interest
in mechanical and railroad engineering,
and as all things conte to him (or Iter)
who watts, a chance arrived. The
engineer of this na.trow-gauge road be-
came ill, and during this illness the
young womanin question took his place
and made the rune without any mishap.
Upon the death of the engineer she
assumed charge of the train, which she
is still running, to the entire satisfaction
of all parties concerned. In Texas
there is a female contractor in the em-
ploy of the United States Government.
Her contract is for carrying the mail
from Keith to White Hall. Georgia has
a woman trail carrier who not only de-
livers the [nail on her little black pony
over a forty•umilo route tri -weekly, in a
Weak and sparsely settled regiou, but
manages a large farm as well, doing
much of the manual labor and support-
ing her aged parents and crippled sis-
ter by her indefatigable industry and
energy. She is but twenty-two years
old.
1p In Cincinnati an excellent restaurant
is in the Cita.moer of Commerce Build-
ing, and is patronized exclusively by the
foremost business men iu that city. It
is ruu by three Scotch women, and upon
strictly temperance principles. Every
one predicted their failure when it was
annouticed that positively no liquor was
procurable in their restaurant, and peo-
ple scoffed to think they could not even
get a gloss of beer with their meals ; but
their predictions proved erroneous, for
besides paying an annual rental of $5000
for their magnificent premises, they
clear annually from $10,000 to $15,000 a
year.
The lady guide is• an institution in
London and an innovation now being
introduced in American cities. In Lon-
don these guides are for the express pur-
pose of supplyiug women tourists with
members of their own sex to pilot them
safely over the well-known tours of Eng-
land and the British Islands in general,
and in fact anywhere they wish to go
on the Continent. These guides are re-
fined and cultivated, speak French and
German fluently, else their applica-
tion for this rather agreeable position
will not be considered, and have excel-
lent credentials as to character and so-
briety. They are supposed to work
eight hours a day, and their charges is
but ten shillings, equivalent to two dol-
lars and a half of American money.
When one considers the aggravations
one is spared by shaving a guide, and the
surety one feels of not having spent too
much for anything purchased, it will be
found that this amiable courier has sav-
ed her employer fully the amount of

In Astoria, L.I., many of the largest
hothouses are controlled and managed
by women. In Gotham is a blacksmith's
shop managed entirely by the three
daughters of the blacksmith, who are
intelligent young women. Tho father
died some twelve years ago, and
the mother took charge of
the establishment; and looking to
time future, she had her girls instructed
not only iu the ort of hor'aeshoeing, but
in everything pertaining to the trade.
Since time mother's death one of the sis-
ters married, and now the married sis-
ter and the two young girls employ five
men, but personally superintend every
horse that is shod. Among their pa.
trona are numbered the wealthiest own-
ers of horses in tide city, and daring the
racing season they will open a large
branch at Monmouth, N.J. One of the
busiest importers of artificial flowers in
this city died three years ago, and left
his business in a most distressingly tan-
gled state. His wife, a woman of ex-
quisite taste, goes downtown to the office
daily, goes abroad to do her purchasing
in the Parisian market, and her business
is now in a most flourishing condition.
The largest typewriting bueinetis in the
whole world is also in this city, and is
conducted by two sisters. The eldest
took a course in stenography for her
own pleasure. She became so proficient
in this art that she became anxious to
utilize her knowledge, and accepted a
position iu a well-known law office.
Presently her mother died and the
father became incurably ill. She then
taught the two younger sisters this art,
and opened a school with twelve pupils,
whom she taught every evening after
getting through with her duties down-

MODERN TELESCOPES.
The Great Progress laude to the Manu-
facture of Instruments.
In an iufornmaraddregs before the Bos-
ton Scientific Society Mr. Alvin 0.
Clark, the famous telescope maker,
spoke of the telescopes of the earlier as-
tronomers, among them that of Galli -
leo, who was the first one to apply this
instrument to celestial obseryation,
showing some of the difficulties under
which the earlier opticians labored. The
difficulty lay in the fact that in its pas-
sage through the lens the light of the
stars becomes separated into the differ-
ent oolors of which light is composed,
and each of these colors comes to a dif-
ferent focus within the telescope tube.
This results in confusion and injury to
the linage. The first step w;is the in-
vention of the reflecting teles.:ope,differ-
ent forms of which were made by differ-
ent men, in the manufacture of which
delicate processes were undergone, and
with which some remarkable results were
achieved. Mr. Clark explained the
means tvereby the older opticians tried
to avoid this dispersion of light by means
of long tubes, and paid tribute to Dol -
land, the English optician, who first
gave to tee world the achromatic ob.
jective. In this combination of lenses
the imperfectiou of the image is elimin-
ated to a large degree by the use of a
second lens, the imperfections of which
are equal in amount to those- of the
first lens, but opposite in quality or di=
roc: ion.
Mr. Clark reviewed briefly the story
of the increase in size of the telescopes,
a story of exceeding interest, since this
increase has conte to us mainly through
the efforts and efficient work of the firm
of which he is now the sole remaining
reember. The aperture of fifteen.iucheo
was for many years the m .ximuut, but
of late years, with increased facilities
for the manufacture of large discs and
experience. in the handling of the same,
the aperture of telescopes lies been
rapidly increased, until we have now
the greet Lick telescope of thirty-six
incites and the still larger leases of forty
inches diameter, upon which he is now
at work. This increase in aperture, in
connection with the sharpness of defini-
tion, which by the care of the optician
of these days is possible, gives great
opportuuity for the use of high magni-
fying powers. and it is estimated that
the Lick telescope is capable of showing
at least one hundred Inmlliun stars. Mr.
Clark's address dwelt briefly upon the
manufacture of the glass, the careful
methods of shaping the lenses, the
elimination of the spectrum colors and
many other points of interest, showing
that the work of the lenstnaker demand s
not only great and delicate mechanical
skill, but also artistic feeliug of high
order.
The Georgia Clay Eaters.
There is no !mistaking a clay eater.
Their countenances have a distinctly
original and unearthly cast, reminding
you more of "a death's head with a
bone in its mouth" than anything else.
Time children have large eyes, set deep
in the head and accentuated by high
skinny. cheekbones. These eyes lack
lustre and they glare with leaden stu-
pidity from the cadaverous hollows.
And as for the men and women, com-
pared with theirs the face of the Egyp-
tian mummy would look fresh, and.
•
beautiful.
Time milky whiteness of the skin,
which they have in childhood, has
changed into a parched brown, which
falls in folds about their eyes and necks.
]seep wrinkles radiate front their mouths
spread in every conceivable direction.
You can easily trace them, as they serve
for convenient aqueducts tt tobacco
juice.
The clay which they devour is not, as
some have supposed, the red variety so
common throughout middle Georgia,
but a peculiar white kind, with a soft
and greasy feel, and found only in cer-
tain localities. It is said, to contain
arsenio, tlmus accounting for the force of
the habit and its effect upon the system.
These beings make no attempt at re-
gular work. They eke out their exist-
ence in the winter by selling wood in
town, and during the summer the most
energetic pick and sell blackberries and
huckleberries, which grow in profusion
there. Some of them own donkeys, and
these attached to the little two -wheeled
nondescript vehicles, are familiar sights
along the public highways leading to
Milledgeville.—Atlanta Constitution.
Home.
The hope of America is time homes of
America.
Marriage is a legitimate basis of a
genuine home.
Human nature is very prevalent among
women. and especially among maids of
all work.
Better beat misfortunes than leave
your motives open to suspicion, or bring
disgrace upon your family natue.
There is nothing but danger in the in-
timacy of a married heart with an uu-
married one, unless there be other re-
lationships which justify it.
Profoundly to be commiserated is that
child who looks back upon his home as
upon a niacin house; upon his youth as a
season of hardship; upon his parents as
tyrants. ---J. G. Holland.

of time white matt. As news frurn the
outer world could reach them but once
in three months it was rather dull for
the woman, As there was sa little
amusement to be found she blade the
most of the few sources she had. Chief
among these was the gathering of Limit's,
of which niftily and fine varieties were
to be found on the reef at low tide.
This reef surrounded the island on all
sides, with the exoeptiou of a twenty -
toot channel, through which access was
had to the island from any ship whica
canoe there. This reef wile like a wide
flat shelf covered deep by the water at
high tide, but when the tide was out a
wide stretch of coral rock was left al-
most bare varing from twenty feet at
the narrowest point to over 150 at the
widest. This 'elielf of rock was cut
through and through by fissures in which
the water still stood many feet deep.
Beside the fissures the reef was dotted
With pools having no outlet at low tide.
Some of the pools were only a few
inches iu depth, others were

These pools and !Issuers made walking
on the reef rather dangerous until one

broke iu her face—almost over her head.
Otte or two moments more and she must
fall. A frenzy of fear gave her
momentary strength, and she strove to
tear herself; free, but iu vain. Each
effort but exhausted her little
remaining strength, leaving iter weak-
er than before, a more unresisting
prey .for her foe. A wave bigger
and higher than usual carne rolling

her strangled and breathless. Hope was

a dash through the water and her urlu

was raised above the surface a little.
Other hands reached down beside her
and grasped the unseen form of the
monster, and with a mighty pull from
the two strong pairs of arms it was torn
from its anchoring, hold upon the rocks
and thrown up into the open air. The
clrokiug, straugliiig woman was carried
above tide murk, the octopus stiil at-
tached to her by its slimy arms. Al the
attempt to pull it away caused her ex-
crrlciatiiig pain the arias were one by
one cut off, and even then tae
horny disks still clung with con-
siderable force to the bruised and
crushed arra. The creature had
used three of its eight arms to
crush its prey, and held ;itself firstly
anchored to the rock at the bottom of
the pool with the others. It took all the
the strength of two heavy men to tear
the hold of those five arms from tite
rock. Had help been delayed five u.in-
utes longer it would have been in vain.
The woman would have been dragged
into the depths of the pool, and the
strong,. bead-like mouth of the devil -fish
would have been tearing her flesh while
she still lived. When the creature was

ALUMINUM BRONZE.
Experiments Intending to Make it n
Denser and More Durable Alloy.
Mr. H. N. Warren, of Liverpool. Eng.
la nil, has been experimenting lately
with aluminum bronzes, and has found
to at the presence of a very small ad-
mixture of boron stakes a denser and
more durable alloy. This aluminum
boron bronze casts and .melts well, and
is free from some drawbacks met witli
in working with the ordinary aluminum
bronze. Producers • of that alloy often
complain of the difficulty etperieucetl
in obtaining a uniform mixture, for m
difficult fusible alloy sometimes formas
on time surface of the molten portion,
and, being accompanied by surface
oxidation, refuses to alloy witlm the re-
mainder. The aluminum boron alloy
forms a lower temperature than wimeu
pure aluminum is used.
In preparing the bronze Mr. Warren
first makes ingots of aluminum contain-
ing boron in toe sauce state in which
graphite exists in cast iron. These in-
gots ore made by introducing aluminum
into a molten mixture of flourspar and
vitrified boriox anhydride, which has
been (heated in an oxy-imydrogeu furnace
until fumes of boron -fluoride appear.
The boron is immediately reduced and it
dissolves in the aluminum, and the alu-
minum is rendered crystalline and brit-
tle thereby. When added to copper in
the proportion of five to ten, per cent. it
forms the aluminum boron bronze in
question, which is not brittle, '1'Ite ef-
fect of boron on the bronze would ap-
pear to be quite different from that of
sillicon. which generally ruins all
bronzes when present, even in minute
quantities.—Scientific American.
A Lecture on Chastity.
Judge Wilson is right. There cannot
justly be one standard of morals for we -
men and another for men. Chastity is
chastity without respect to sex. But
unfortunately, there is a difference in
the training of girls and the training of
boys nlomg this line. Tho lessons of
chastity are instilled into the girl from
her infancy and her conduct is closely
guarded, while the boy's education in
this respect is often neglected and he is
permitted to run at largo,
Again, the girl knows that if she
loses "the immediate jewel of her soul,"
society will discountenance her ; the boy
grows up with the understanding that
hie offences will be condoned. Society
is responsible. Many a mum spends one
evening at houses of shame and the
next in the fnnnily circle of representa-
tive people. It is the disposition of roan
to take all the privileges that society al-
lows. Bute hell society reforms, and
08 firmly closes its doors upon immoral
sten as at now closes them against ins
moral women, then and not until then
shall we see a reform. Society must
have one fixed inviolable standard --

I CAN highly praise Burdock Blood
Bitters because it had a fair trial in my
case with wonderful success. My
symptoms were dropsy, backache and
sleeplessness, and all these disappeared
after using two bottles of Burdock
Blood Bitters. I can not praise its
healing powers too highly.
