THE JUDGE'S WIPE. Her name was Nita Dominique ; she was an Italian by birth and just 17. FrieudleB8 and alone in her own country, she bad come to America to seek the assistauce of an ancle who had emit^rated to try his fortunes some time previously. Butiusteaduf being met at the steamer's dock by her uncle she was ){reeted by the sad news of his death, and found herself utterly alone iu a land of strangers. This IS the story Lucy Keene told to Judge Devereux when he called. " But she did not give up," said Lucy, growing more earnest as she narrated Nita's simple story to the judge. "She was determined to earn her livelihood somehow, and as they all told her New York was already crowded with applicants for every sort of work she resolved on keep- ing on to the country. But her money was spent and the storm came on, and, poor creature, she was worn and wearied out, and, when night came on, she fell fainting at our door and we found her there. "She is very intelligent," added Mrs. Keene, " and has, she tells me, been edu- cated in an Italian convent. I wish we could find her a situation as governess or resident instructress iu some seminary or school." Judge Devereux listened quietly, without expressing any opinion. Ue was a hale, handsome man, somewhere about 4U, a rich widower, with two or three little children, and report spoke favorably as to the possi- bility of M^s Lucy Keene being some day promoted lb the dignity of Mrs. Devereux, of Devereux Terrace. Lucy herself, a modest little rosebud of a creature, scarcely dared to think of this distinction iu store for her, yet Juuge l>ev- ereux's daily visits shed a sort of subdued suusUine on her life, for it was a >)uiet, monotonous sort of existence, boasting of little variety and less encitement, as most lives are when spent within the precincts of a country village. To this humdrum succession of days and nights Nita Dominique came like the gor- geous bloom of a tire-hearted cactus in a sober bed of daisies, or a tropic dream, or a meteor glowing athwart the uiid.sunimer starliglit, or aught else that is new and strange and lovely. Her broken English, like the lispiiigs of a child first learning to talk 1 her pretty surprise at the manners and customs of the western world; the strong attachment she manifested toward Lucy Keene and her eagerness to assist the widow and her daughter in each and every one of their household tasks very soon en- deared her to them. And even Judge Devereux, the staid, grave, stately man, grew to notice Nita, and chat with her, and be amused with her innocent talk. " Yes," he said, one night after he had gravely sat and watched her for some time, " she it beautiful : and it is no ordinary type of loveliness, either." Lucy Keene looked up from her sewing and for a moment, one moment only, the crimson rushed to her cheek and a keen pang seemed to pierce through her heart. " Am 1 growing jealous ?" she (lues- tioned herself, hurrying away to the soli- tude of her own room. " Jealous I and of poor, friendless, solitary Nita! Uh, surely, surely 1 am not so base as that !" But, nevertheless, Lucy Keene drooped a little after this, as a white lily droops when some unseun worm is gnawing at its roots. It was a week or two after this when Judge Devereux came into the sitting-room of the Keene cottage just at dusk. The doors and windows stood wide open to admit the perfumed air and scent of early Jane, but there was no one in the apart- ment, and, although the judge could hear the silvery voice of Nita Dominique thrill- ing soft Italian barcaroles down iu the garden as she wandered by herself he did not turn iu that direction, but threw him- self on the sofa in the bay window, where the Uuttering muslin curtain half con- cealed him, and, with his hands crossed beneath his head, fell into a dreamy sort of reverie. Probably it was succeeded by something very like slumber, for when he came back to a consciousness of the world around him, there were voices by the oppo-'ite window â€" Lucy and her mother, enjoying the quiet twilight together. " Ilurk!" said Lucy, softly, after a mo- ment or two of silence; "don't you hoar Nita singing in the garden? Wliut a thrush like voice she has I Mamma, Nita is growing restless; she thinks she ought to have something to do." " Lucy," said Mrs. Keene, " did it never strike you thatâ€" that .ludge Devereux was beginning to rotioe Nita Dominique a deal?" " Yes, mamma." Lucy's voice was changed and constrained now. " Do you think he is in love with her, Lucy ?" " I think he is, mamma." "But, Lucy," said Mrs. Koeno, with a disturbed tone, " il is not right. I thought â€" 1 hoped- Judge Devereux was growing foud of you." "Mamma, darling "â€"and by the sound of Lucy's voice the judge knew that she had left her seat and was nestling close to her mother's shoulder â€" " it is right. Judge Devereux has been most kind to ua, but we must never presume on his kindness. Ue has never given us real reason to suppose him aught but a warm friend and generous neighbor, and if be liues love Nita Domiu- iiiue she will have gained a true and noble husband." " I shall never endare the sight of Nita again if she is to take the brightness out of Kjour life, Lucy," faltered the mother. " Mamma, darling, hush !" coaxed Lucy. " Ought I to grudge poor Nita the one drop of sweetness in her bitter cup ? Come, mamma ; don't let us talk of this any more. The piano is open in the back room atfd I have not sung you the Italian can zouet that Nita taught me last night." The mother and daughter went away, and when they returned, half an hour later, with cancUes lighted, the room was empty. " Lucy," said Judge Devereux, a day r two afterward ; " I have been thinking of a nice situation for Nita." " What is it?'l There was no bitter jealousy in the soft eyes she turned up toward his face, only the sweet, friendly interest one young girl might feel in the welfare of another. " What do you think uf her as a com- panion and instructress to my little girls? " he asked. " I think Nita Dominique's compau iouship would ennoble and improve any one." " Lucy ! " " Yes, Judge Devereux," she rejoined. " Nita has promised ! " " I congratulate yon!" she said, with choked accents. "And I think I deserve congratulations, now that I have secured a good governess. I am not yet content, however want a wife." " A wife. Judge Devereux ? " " Yes, a wife, Lucy, ami no one but your self will answer my expectations in tha" respect. My little treasure, I have loveii you long ami truly â€" will you trust me with your heart? " And Lucy Keene's protestations werj drowned in the tender accents of her lover's How to Catch Cold. Go to an evening party iu a uiess suit without putting on heavy underwear to compensate for the lightness of the cloth. Sit in a streetcar next to an open window. Leave otf your heavy underclothing on t> mild day. Take a hot drink before going oat into the cold or damp air. Let the boys rump at school during recess time without their hats. Sit in the passage or near an entry after dancing for half an hour. Sit in a barber shop in your shirt sleeves while waiting to be shaved. Put on a pair uf thin shoes in the even- ing when you go to call upon your girl. Fail to change your shoes and stockings after coming in ou a rainy day. Have your hair cut and shampooed just as a change takes place in the weather. Wear one of the ladies' new cutaway coats without a chamois or daniiel vest underneath. Throw your overcoat open on a bluster- ing winter day to show off your nice new necktie. Send the children out in autumn for exercise iu short, thin stockings and short skirts. Take a hot bath in the evening and sit up in your room to Unish the last pageso f an e.xcitiag novel. Throw off your heavy coat when you reach the oHice in a great Lurry and put on your thin knockabout. Go down to breakfast without a wrap on a chilly morning before the tires have got fully started. Put the window of your sleeping- room up before you go to bed, especially if the window is near the bed. Kun a s<{uare tu catch a street car and takef>ff your hat tor a few muiutes, to cool off, v/hen you catch it. Go out into the lobby during a theatrical performance and promenade around with- out your overcoat. Do your back hair up high when you have been accustomed to wear it low and go out on a windy day. Take a long bicycle ride and stand for a while describing and showing off the beau- ties of your machine. Come in from a rapid gallop on horse- back and stand talking in the upun air to a friend for live or ten minutes. If you are bald headed or have a very susceptible back, sit during grand opera near one of the side doors. THE •' PUNCH PHOTOGBAPH." Loud Coiuptaints When the Couduotor Takes u Poor FliutuKraph. Much complaint has been made in oon- 8e(iuence of the introduction of a new ticket system on overland roads to California, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The trouble all arises from the fact that the ticket given at the Miasouri river by the overland agents contains what is called a " punch photograph " of the holder. This is supposed to be a complete description of the passenger. Along the margin of the ticket is printed, in a straight column, the following words in small, black type: Maleâ€" Female. Hi im â€" Mediumâ€" Stout. Youngâ€" Miiidlii-agodâ€"Eldotly. Eye.â€" Li« litâ€" Dark. Hiiir. â€" Liglitâ€" Dark. Beardâ€" AiuuBtaobe â€" '.binâ€" Sideâ€" None. The passenger is photographed on the ticket bearing his signature by punching out all the words that are not descriptive of him. If for a male, the word " female " is cut out by the punch ; if he is slim, the words "medium" and "stout" are punched ; if his eyes aie light, the word "dark" is stricken out; and if he wears no beard, the word " none " is left stand- ing, while " moustache, " " chin " and "side" are punched. Now, it is readily seen how a train agent passing hurriudly through a crowded car is likuly to make errors in describing his piissuiigers on t|]eir tickets, and so far from being a " [iliotu. graph " of the holder, the marginal sktttidi often becomes a rank caricature. Kven where the punch-marks faithfully portray the features and figure, the female pas- senger cannot always preserve her yuod temper on looking at the picture drawn for her. A well-developed laily of an uncertain age is not likely to cun- sider it a compiimeui to ue ia'uuDed in cold type as "stout" mid "Mdi^rly." That, howt-vur, is nothuitj to ihf tieulnient recfived by a Boston ;4iri on her way to Calitornitt, wlio was " |plii)tograplied " as being a " female " of nu'iltiim buiUl, uiidcile- aged, dark eye^i and hair, and a side bt^urd. This description, while ountaining evidences of careless, free-hand portraiture, is not, however, as bad as that of an olivecom- plexioned young lady who was punched as an elderly " mair," slim and with light eyes and hair and a uliin beard. Tourist passengers on the overland trains often derive great amusement from a compari- son of notes or. rather, of tiikots, but their fnn , turned to disgust when they are told that they cannot secure return passage on the tickets when they have been wrongly portrayed by the train agent. â€" .S'nii /Vun- ciicu Vhroiiifle. A Marryitifc Market for 100 Oirls. The Panhandle of Te.^as is a body of territory running up at the extreme north- west corner of the State between the Indian Territory and New Mexico. It is now filling up with people, and in Crosby county, where the largest gathering of population is, there is a town which has taken the name of Panhandle. Somebody has started a newspaper there, and in a recent issue of it appeared the folio ving : " Wanted â€" Immediately, 100 single young women who are prepared to rough it for a time to come to the Panhandle and marry our thrifty young men who have located on 040 acres of laud and are now living in dugouts, tents and cabins. We can speak a good word for every one of the boys ; they are all noble American citizens except one, and he is a little unfortunate in being the son of an English lord. Girls, this is a good chance. Besides this, married life will beat single blessedness every time. In a few months' time the dugouts will be turned into cellars and comfortable houses erected when the rail- roads bring in lumber." There is no place like a new country for the fair sex. There every woman is a belle and every good woman is little less than an angel. The rough men of the fronliur know how to appreciate tiie intrinsic excellence of the sex. â€" New Orleam Picaymic. Beautiful Woiueu at* a Bune. The tendency of the present day is the laxity of conversation permitted by many laaiusin society in their male friends. This latter evil is one of very rapid growth, and has spread in many cases from the married wuKiuii even to the girls, who think that they can make themselves as agreeable to the men as their successful rivals, by adopting the same style and allowing the same freedom of conversation. This, to a great extent, is attributable to the rage for beautiful women, which for some tiuie now has been dominant in London society ; for now a woman, if she is extremely lovely, and can gAt an introdnction, is sure to bo a star in society for a time, no matter what her position may be, and whether it entitles her to be feted and made much of by the great ones iu the land, and wiuliiiig to make her reign as successful as puHsiblu until a brighter star arixes and eclipses her, permits and encourages that loose kind of conversation that is so attractive to many men. This rage for beauty has been a great bane in Loinioii society for some time, and has rightly been a source of annoyance to the younger unmarried mem- bers of families who hold their position by right, for it is an undoubted hardship for them to feel themselves shelved and neglected by the men in favor of the faohion- able beauties, and some of the sillier of them think that thi^y can improve their position by copying the ways, manners and conversation of these piratical craft. Society has lately ad^anced a stage further, and the beauties of London society whose " face is their fortune" are now finding rivals in successful showmen, whose merits as pets of the fashionable world are not properly appreciated iu their own country. This same worship of a successful show- man is in close analogy to the latter and more rotten days of the liomaii Empire, when the gladiators wore the favored ones and pets of the Uonian ladies. Society, again, is open to all who have the golden key; and if any aspirant who does not happen to have a beautiful face, or to bo a successful showman, with (lowing locks and wild appearance, can judiciously get taken up, and is willing to spend unlimited money, his or her success is also ensured â€" London Suturday Ret irw. A MONKEY SDSPKNSIUM BBIDOB. How the Jolly Jaokos Cross u Baonitis W Streaiu In .Safety. (Capt. Reid'a Adventures iu South /.murics.) "They are coming tovard tie bridge; they will most likely crois by the rooks yonder," observed Raoul. " How, swim it? " I asked. " Xt is a tor. rent there." "Oh, no!" answered the Frenchman. " Monkeys would rather go through tire than water. If they cannot leap the stream they will bridge it." " Bridge it ! â€" and how?" " You will see in a moment," my com- panion replied. Presently the monkeys appeared upon the opposite bank, headed by an old gray chief- tain, officered like so many soldiers. One, an aide. de-camp, or chief pioneer, perhaps, ran out upon a projecting rock, and after looking across the stream, as if calcu- lating the distance, scampered back and appeared to communicate with the leader. This produced a move, ment in the troops. Meanwhile several of the monkeys (engineers, no doubt) ran along the bank, examining the trees on both | sides of the arrayo. At length they all col- lected around a tall cottouwood that grew j over the narrowest part of the stream, and ; twenty or thirty of them scampered up its ] trunk. On reaching a high point the loro- uiost, a strong fellow, ran out upon a limb, and taking several turns of his tail around It, slipped otf and hung head downwards.! The next on the liiiib, also a stout one, ! climbed down the body of the Hist, and whipped ins tai) lightly round llie neck and foreaiin of tlte latter, dropping off in Ins turn, unci liting head down. The third repooted this iimimnivre upon the .second, and tlie lonnli upon tlie atiiug resting his forepaws upon tho grouinl. The living chain now coiiiiiniiiced swinging backward and forward like the peiidiiluiii of a clock. Tlie motion was flight at lirst, but gradual- ly increased, the lowermost uionkey s„rik. i iiig his hands violently ou the o.irth as he ! passed the tangent of the oscillating curve. Several others upon the limbs above aided the movement. This ; continued till the monkey at the end of j the chain was thrown among the branches of a tree on the oppusito bank. Hero, i after two or three vibrations, ho clutched a , liuib and held fast. This movement was executed adroitly, just at the culmination point of the oscillation, in order to save the intermediate links from too sudden a jerk. The chain was now fast at both ends, form- ing a complete suspension bridge, over which the whole troop to the number of four or live hundred passed. It was a comical sight to witness the quizzical expression of countenance along that living chain. After the troops had passed one monkey attached his tail to the lowest on the bridge, another girded him in the same manner, and another until a dozen more were added to the string. These last were powerful fellows, and running up to a high limb they lifted the bridge into a position almost hori^wntal. Then a scream from the last monkev of the new formation warned the tail end that all was ready, and the next moment the whole chain was swung over and landed safely on the opposite bank. The lowermost links now dropped off like a melting candle, while the higher ones leaped to the branches and came down by the trunk. The whole troop then scam- pored off into the chapparal and dis- appeared. « How tu .Svloet a tVifn. Good health, good morals, good sense sad good temper are the four essentials for a good wife.

A respected olergyman of the Church ot England in this tity writes : Are you aware of the origin of the word " pie " as used by you printers, 1 believe for con- fusion in your typi's. The term is derived either from piiiatz, a tablet, or from pioa, a magpie. The allusion in the latter is to the varying colors in which the directions or calendar of the Cliiirch's service books were set forth. The directions of the calendar, which in its .simplified form now precedes the Book of Common Prayer, were so complicated that one of the first duties of the Service Books Uevision Com- mittee in Edward VI. '« time was to sim- plify them. So involved were the rules that the title by which the body of direc- tions was desigiiateil has become a very symbol ot perplexity and confusion. Ileiioo perxjlexity and confusion in printed matter has become known as 'pie' â€" an eipiivaleiit originally to " calendar." Aichbinhop Criiimer said before the Uevision Com- mittee : " The nuinber and hardness of Iho rules called the ' I'ie,' and the manifold changiiiga ot the service, was the cause that to turn the book only was so hard and intricate a matter that many times there was more business to rind out what should be read than to read il when it was toiiiid ut." To the novel colors invented for women's clothes of " crushed strawlieriy " and " whipped cream " has been added the color of " slapped baby."
