It costs less ‘han a postage stamp—tless than to send or receive a letter. Wuat good does it do you? It instructs you and your wife and teaches your chil- dren ; it comes to vou every week rain or shine, calm or storm, bringing you the best news of the neighboorhood. No matter what happens, it enters your doors a welcome guest, full of sunshine, cheer and interest. It shortens long summer days and enlivens long winter evenings, It is your adviser, your gos- sip and friend. No man is just to his wife and children who does not give them the home paper to read.

These ‘tare Slotted a ate oh a Wore from Choice. : The sailors’ superstitions fear that a woman’s presence on shipboard invites ill-luck has failed to deter women whose hearts yearn for the sea from gratifying this desire. The pages of the maritime history. of; the world contain the names of many matrons and girls in various periods who, dis- guised as men, have followed a life on ‘the ocean wave, The majority. of them not only proved excellent sailors, but even fought bravely with cutlass, pike and pistol against the foes of their native land. They did not even shrink from sail- ing under the black flag; for the Eng- lish women, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, joined the buccaneers, the typ- ical pirates of the Antilles, in order to gain booty to their hearts’ content. A German writer gives a number of among which the sgHowing oe inter- Jean de Belleville, to av enge her hus- band, who was murdered in; the year 1343 in Paris, fitted-out a squadron of ships ‘and ravaged the.coast of Nor- mandy, burned castles and HJumined the-seat at night with the glare of blaz- ing villages. Jean de Belleville was famed in her age as one of the most beautiful women in Europe. Sometimes jealousy has senta young wife to séa in sailorgarb. The ballad of bold: Hannah Snell is now known by all saflors. This woman was born in London in 1723, and in the course of time married a German sailor named Jacob Summs, who squandered her lit- tle property and then deserted her. To seek this faithless fellow, Hannah donned men’s attire and went to 8a. Her experiences during ‘her quest would fill volumes grave and gay, trag- ic ahd comic ineidents alternated,. She seryed only on English *men-of-war, took part in numerous battles and re- ceived. several wounds. After many years she had the news that’ Jacob, in punishment. for a serious crime, had been put into a sack and thrown into the sea somewhere in France. From that time she left the royal service, where her disguise had never been dis- covered, and returned in) woman’s clothes to London.. The government granted her an annual pension of £5) She is said to have gone on the stage. afterward and ac- quitted herself admirably in sailor characters, There are also high-hearted women who have performed, many brave, her roi¢ deeds, while sailing the seas with their hushands. Among them Louise Dittmar, the wife of the captain of the Prussian steamer E@gaz, deserves the. highest, praise. On the way home the entire erew, except the captain and helmsman, were attacked with serious illness. The two, men undertook, to at-} tend to the. engine, while the womalt and this was done night and dny aU nMost without relief, for weeks!” The steam- er arrived in port safely, after seven of stood at the helm and stected the ship.

One of the great balls 6f Paris is that of the so-called “Bal des Gens de Mai- son” at the Salle Wagram, which has just been held. The “Gens de Maison” are an association comprising some 6,000 of the superior servants, the cream, in fact, and the aristocracy of the 150,000 domestics employed to wait upon the well-to-do citizens of Paris. The union is rich and eclectic, in so far as it, will permit no servant to retain his or her name on the rolls who has been guilty of disgraceful conduct. The president is M. Picard, a butler of imposing presence, who, with 4 broad, tlue sash of office crossing his capacioes white waistcoat, as the rib- bon of the Legion of Honor crosses that of President Faure, received the guests at the ball with just as much dignity and stateliness as if he were the chief magistrate of the republic in person. The demeanor of the guests was irre- proachable, and the attire of both men and women compared: favorably with that of the people present at the mu- nicipal ball a couple of days prev iously. The men were in full evening dress. while the magnificent jewels that cre mal be mg ic tn nc adorned the necks, thé arms, and the | coiffures of many of the women gave evidence of the fact that their mistress- ee had allowed them for the occasion free access to their caskets. These gems, however, and the costly laces may be said to have constituted the sum total of the borrowed plumes, for it was manifest. from the perfect fit of the gowns that they had been made for their wearers. This is by no means surprising when it is borne in mind that tothe lady’s maids,the valets, the butlers and the private coachmen in Paris this Bals des Gens de Maison constitutes the principal social event and festival of the entire year, the one for which they reserve all their finery and all their economies, as well as their best manners. Masters and mistresses seem to take pleasure in helping the members of their household to cut 4 good figure on this oceasion, and many is the Jady’s maid who can boast of having had the finishing touches given to her toilet and the jewels fastened into her hair, around her throat and wrists and into her ears by the hands cf her own mistress. The only feature of the entertainment calculated to cause a smile and to create some amusement was the preeedence accord- ed to the servants of dukes over those of marquises, and to those of marquises over those of counts, the domestics of ordinary untitled citizens being con- tent to follow meekly in the wake of their betters —Paris Letter. He WAS RIGHT. The One Juror Who Stood Out Against Eleven Obstinate Men. A standing joke around the Maine’ courts is the juror who stands out and, refuges to agree with the leven ob stinate men, who don’t think as he does.’ Judges are not apt to take kindly to this style of man, and have been known ; the crew had died on the passage. Tn this case the valuable vessel! had actu- ally been saved solely by the captain's wife, for it is difficnit to estimate what the two men could have done without | her nid. Captains whose ship owners | forbid them to take their wives with | them might aptly cite as an opposing argament of the example of Louise Dittmar.—Detroit Free Press. NEW HAMPSHIRE’S PRIDE. Spleadid Work Done 6 for the Free Publio Library System. New Hampshire has reason to be proud of her free public library system. Splendid work has been accomplished since 1592, and of the 233 cities and towns in the state there are now not more than 50 that have no free public libraty. “There is every reason ‘to ex- pect that even this: number will be greatly reduced by the action of the voters in these towns at. the next March meeting.
