How " Conntiettee Woman Over- reached a l‘hllndelphla Jeweler. One day recently a. number or newspaper men were in Magistrate Jermon's office. debating the Inge- nuity of women criminals. The grub- ject became so Interesting that "the judge" also took a hand. and told some of his experiences. "One at the shrewdest women I ever saw got the best of a Market street Jewelry firm some time ago," snld Jermon. "She was very stylishly dressed and drove up to the door of the store in a. cab. She made purchases ag- gregating $1,500. and tendered a check for that amount in payment. The check. of course. was taken to the rear of the store. and, as the bank was close at hand, a clerk went aromul to see if the paper was good for the amount. _ “Meanwhile the woman‘wns kept 1n conversation, and apparently look- tng over some jewelry with a view to future purchases until the clerk returned with the intorhtion that the check was good. Just at thls Nneture the woman seemed to real- ize for the first time that lnqu-lrles had been made an to the gtemtltte.netm of the check. and she became highly' indignant, returned the goods and demanded her check. It was ex- plained to her that they had merely followed a business custom. which protected not only the firm but their customers as well. "The woman left the store, but less than a halt hour later returned. ‘Sinoe I left the store,' she said. ‘I have been thinking that perhaps I noted a. little too hastily. bat It is verv embarrassing to have one's honesty questioned. However. here is the check.’ The check was taken this time without question and the woman departed with her purchases. " was afterward discovered that in the few minutes she had been out of the store she had immediately gone around to the bank. drawn the money and then returned to the store with the old check. which " that time had become vtuueiestr."-- Chicago Chronicle.

" is exceedingly satisfactory to - the recent notion of the louder: County Council in offering two girls who are about to leave the elemen- tary schools sound practical instruc- tion for BI! months in all 'the various branches ot domestic economy. which would heluds cookery. laundry work. needlework. dressmuklnz and house- hold cleaning. This instruction is to be given " one of the thirteen do. me“ economy schools which are new working in connection with the Technical Instruction Board ot the Council. The organization appears to have been arranged on the most common sense principles. It is not the few smart and exceptionally clever girls who are alone to be tastrqht--thoms who by superior abil- ity and intellectual power have gained high pltuteq in their various schools; but the scholarships are ot. tered to the girls who are about to leave the elementary schools without any reference to previous examina- tions, and they will be given to girls who have been selected by the Board) from amongst those nominated by the managers or head teachers. This is precisely the arrangement that should be made. It is not the girls who are the elite of the school who are to renp these advantages. but the general body, and the instruc- tion thus offered will be the means of introducing amongst the poorer classes that knowledge of the general principles of domestic economy of which they are so lamontnbly ignor- ant. As a rule, the poorer women of this country at least, though not in France. do not know how to make the most of the food that they are able to purchase. It is cooked in a manner which renders it unattrac- tive, and often inntttritioag. These evils: will be remedied in the homes of those girls who pass through the practical teaching which is offered by the. county council. The girls who ( are elected to these scholarships will i have to cook their own dinners, to ( wash their own clothes, and to make _ dresses and other garments for them- selves. Tlie materials for these in- structions, both in cooking and in needlework. will be provided free of charge by the board. The information given wil' not be a more smattering, but six months' continuous instruc- tion in matters connected With household murtagt'ment, which win doubtless enable the girls to become mistresses of tho subject. It is also proposed that those girls who are enabled to accept a further course of instruction at the end of the six inionths will obtain further advan- tages; some of them will he. offered 1t,.r,'j't'pvt),ieptl/i/"t" in dressmaking, etc., by several of the city companies. RESULTS OF GOOD COOKING. The girls so taught will possess further advantages. They will ne- cessarily he in the greatest do.- mand as domestic servdnts and be able to Command higher wages. At present not one girl in a dozen in the working classes has the slightest idea. that boiling a Joint of meat renders it hard. tough, and fibrous. whilst cooking it at a. lower tem- perature renders It rapid. tender. more nutritious. and Nimble. spread Widely They are not aware that time is tar more important in general cook- ing than heat. They do not know that Baiting a piece of meat removes at least one halt of its nutritious ele- ments, which are wasted. Such points as these would be taught in a good school. and illustrated by practice. and the girls so taught would not only be more valuable servants. but eventually become better wives. These classes are not new. Several year? since the commissioners ap- pointed by Parliament to Investigate the state of education in the mining- districts. in reporting oh Mvésrs. Baird's school at Gartqherrie, stated that "the girls in three months are taught plain cooking. waahing. and cleaning. enough to prepare them tor service, or to make them useful to their mothers at home. They are all instructed In Tegetmeltrr't, Domestic Economy at sclmol. and on going to service after such a course a girl would probably get dll more wagon tor every half year‘s service"; but it is in few country minols where such a useful organization has been arranged. a - _ . _ It is satisfactory lo know that the Technical Board of the London County Council are offering three hundred of these scholarship- to girl. who are resident in London. and of not less than " year: of nge. or who have passed the seventh standard In reading, writing, and arithmetic, the scholarships being open to those who are about to leave school. or who have left for not more than twelve months.
