T HE MISS" ELIZABETH. “So Miss Pyscf’s got to go to the poor farm,” said Mrs. Green. - “I'm surprised that she’s kep’ out of it so long. ” ' ' “Yes, ” said portly, pompous Mrs. Barker, wife of the chairman of the selectmen, “my husband told me ”this noon that she had applied to the town for help, and of cOurse they can’t sup- port her in her own house.” “I said ’twas flying in the face of fate when she took those two children to bring up; one died and t’ other ran away, and now she’s all alone.” Miss Berry, who sat beside her, look. ed up from her seam. Her sallow face was a trifle pale. ‘ “You don’t mean to say. that the WiL lowdale people are really going to let . Elizabeth Pyser go on the town, after all the good she’s done?” she asked. “Why not?” returned Mrs. Barker. “It ain’t their fault that she’s wasted her money. She’s shiftless‘—always givin’ something to somebody; and meek as Moses; you’d think she dasn’t say her soul’s her own; but she’s deep!” “Where are you goin’; Miss Berry? Ain’t you goin’ to stop to tea?” “No, I guess I’ 11 better be gettin’ home early to-night; Bessie’ll be wait- in’ for me.’ “Now I’ll bet Clarindy Berry’s gone straight over to the millin’ry store to spread the news; so afraid she won’t be the first to tell it. Thank Heaven, I know enough to ke sp things to my- self!” But Miss Berry was not going to the store nor to spread the news; she knew it was unprecedented for her to leave the sewing meeting before tea time; but as she listened to the talk the days of her girlhood rose before her when she and Elizabeth Pyser were “chums,” and told each other all their secrets; then came a foolish little quarrel, and they had not exchanged words for twenty years. She walked straight down the street, turned the corner, and without giving herself time to change her mind, en- tered Miss Pyser’s garden and went up the walk bordered with bouncing-bets, or “old maid’s pinks.” When, in an- swer to her knock, Miss Pyser opened the door, neither knew What to say, but straightway fell into each other’s rms and began to cry. The door closedon them. An hour after when Miss Berry left the house to go to her own home, there was a springiness in her step, and a smile playing about the corners of her thin lips, that betokened unusual excite- ment. Her pretty niece, Bessie, was about to sit down to her lonely tea when Miss Berry made her appearance. “Why, auntie! What brings you home so early?” she asked pleasantly. “Oh, I couldn’t stand the 'clatter of those old women. Now you needn’t laugh, Bessie Berry; I know I’m no chicken myself; but if I’m as heartless as them I left behind, I hope I’ll die be f01e mornin’. ” “Well, what’s the matter? You seem to be excited.” ’ “No, I ain’t! I’m just as calm as you are. But I’ve been makin’ calls this afternoon. I went to see Betty Pyser. I kep’ questionin’ her till she told me all about how she lost her money in the bank that failed 0 7or to Coveton; the man that owned the house, he let her stay in it out of pity; first she earned a little by sewin’, but lately folks didn’t seem to want any work done, and she just shut ‘hersell up there to starve. But human nateI got the best of her, and she had to go to the town. She’s always been hOpin' that that good-for-nothin’ Johnnie would come home, but she’s about giv‘ him up now. I asked her how much oi the furniture was hers, and kep’ a. hint- in’ and a hintin’ ’till I found out every- thing she could tell me; and I enjoyed every minute.” She paused, out of breath with ex- citement, and remained for some time in deep thought. Bessie, too, was silent. She divined what was passing in her aunt’s mind. . “Say, Bessie,” said Miss Berry at last, “do you think we could contrive to keep another? I ‘can’t bear the thought of having Elizabeth go to the poor farm. There’s that back cham- ber with nothing in it, and she’s got her own furniture—'3’ She looked‘appealingly at the girl, who did not immediately answer. To undertake‘the care of another meant additional sacrifices, more rigid econ- omy. She sighed a little; life was hard enough for her already. Should she add to her burden? Would she be just Then she thought of the days when she and John Pyser were boy and girl lovers, and made wonderful plans of what they would do when they grew! up. She had never lost faith in John; some day, it he lived, she knew he would come back to them. A light sprang into her pretty blue eyes, and she met her aunt’s look with a smile. ' “Miss Elizabeth mustn’t go on the town, auntie. for her here, and we’ll drive over this very evening and bring her home." _ After her guest had departed, Miss Elizabeth sank on the old lounge that . had witnessed so many confidences, and the tears flowed down her thin cheeks. She thought she had hirdened herself for what themoriow would bring; but now she was just a*forlorn old maid, crying because she must become the companion of Crazy Jane and Wi tless ' Will This was her last night in her- old home, and she could not swallow the morsel of bread that formed her even- ing repast; Something would rise in her throat and choke. her every time she tried. There’s plenty of room" , ! “Pshaw! She gaveit ‘up at last, and busied her- self about the room that was never out of order, setting things in 'plfce for strangers to look at. After,- this she went all over the house; bidding good- by to every familiar object. Hark! avwa'gon was rumbling up to the gate ;’could it be that this last night at home was to be denied her? A loud knock brought her, trembling, to the door. A burly teamster stood there, and by his side Miss Berry and Bessie; what could it mean? “Betty, you are coming home with Bessie (and me. Tell us what fur- niture to take, and let this man get it,” said Miss Berry;' and she drew the dumfounded woman aside, and in a few words explained matters. Aimeet dazed, Miss Elizabeth sank on the old lounge, while Miss Berry went from room to room, selecting the- articles needed. Then Bessie brought the bonnet and shawl that lay ready for the morrow’s journey, and together she and Miss Berry led her to her new home. ' Could it be possible that the poor— house was a thing of the past? She must be dreaming. By to—morrow, surely, she would wake up to the aw- ful reality. But it was no dream, and the next morning Miss Elizabeth awoke with the feeling that an awful catastrophe had been averted and the sword which had been hanging over her head for so long a time had been prevented from falling by the kind intervention of her old-time friend. As Bessie had anticipated, the com- ing of another into the little home cir- cle meant more self-denial for herself. New frocks and hats were out of the question; but she ripped and sponged and re-made her winter dress, and her nimble fingers and good taste soon brought out of the ruins of last season’s wardrobe a brand new outfit in which she looked as pretty as a pink. 'As for the two old friends, they fair- ly worshipped the girl who was the sunlight of their home. So this happy family dwelt together in peace and bar- mony, independent of outsiders, until an event happened which broke up the circle. ' One day a stranger strode into the town father’s office and asked in a voice that commanded instant atten- 'tion.-—— “Where is Miss Elizabeth Pyser?” The clerk answered that she had be- come somewhat reduced in circum- stances, and had applied to the town for aid; and s-o—and so— “And so you sent her to the poor- . house! Was there no one in this God- forsaken hole to pay her back a little of the kindness she had always shown others?” “Yes,” the. sta1tled young man said. “Miss Berry took he1 in.’ And he told the stranger where to find her. ' It was Miss Elizabeth’s turn to be electrified when a prosperous looking man presented himself at Miss Berry’s house and inquired if his Aunt Bess lived there. “I am Elizabeth Pyser, si’r, ” she an- swered in response to his inquiiies. “Why, auntie, don’t you remember Johnnie?" 'he exclaimed, Miss Elizabeth had grown very white, and slipped into a lifeless heap on the floor; but joy never kills, and when she discovered it was to realize that her troubles were mm, for John- nie was well- to— do, and able and will- ing to take care of her for the rest of her days. The old house was bought back and refurnished, and Johnnie and his aunt settled back into the old life. , “Aunt Bess,” said John, one day, in rather a shamefaced manner, “don’t you think you ought to have some young person in the house to do the work?” “0 Johnnie'.” cried the little woman in fear and trembling. “Don’ t 1 please you? I know I’m getting old, but I thought you was Used to my ways, and we could get‘ along. I don’t want a girl botherin’ round.” “But, auntie, the girl I have in mind is a very good one. Perhaps she won’t come, but I intend to ask her if you are willing.’ 1 “Of course I’ll do anything to make you happier, Johnfiie, though I don’t see how a servant can make home any pleasanter for you. As for me, I. should just rust out and die if I didn’t have something to do.” , The dear old lady was tears. . “Auntie, it isn’t exactly a servant 1 'want; it’s—in fact—-—.” Johnnie, really couldn’t say the words; he had hardly dared think" them as yet; but he crossed the room to Aunt Bess and whispered in her ear. “Oh, John,” she cried delightedly, “how stupid or me! It is just "the thing! And I never thought of it be? fore!” . ; Miss Elizabeth was in a flutter of pleasure. She urged her nephew to go at once on his errand. 5 “I'll sit up till you come home. Won’ t it be like a story if Bessie becomes your wife?” 3 “Perhaps she won’t have me, Aunt Bess.” almost in Go along! What’s wort-‘1 having is worth asking for. Have you? Of course she will! She’s sensible, Bes sis is.” I Aunt Bess was right. And now the two families are one, and the “old maids” vie with each other in petting and spoiling their grown up children ,who, in return for the kindness shown them in their youth, make their lives 'one. long happy dream. , . , Yeast—A man’s judged by the com- pany he keeps, I believe?

HOW IT WAS FOUNDE‘D’AND THE 03- JECTS OF THE FOUNDER. [t Wanna, Business“ Venture but There. “'ere Philantropic motives 1111911 of It. _ and Its Residences Are Said to Show Superior Refinement and Thrift. George M. Pullman’s death brings in-’ to fresh attention the unique city which he founded and which bears his name. For the first thirteen years after the ciganization of his palace— cai compa- ny, in 1867, its sumptuous vehicles were built in shops at four widely scat— tered centers. -St. Louis Detroit, El— mira and Wilmington, Del. But in 187 9 a consolidation of interests was de- cided upon. A year later it was car- ried into effect. Mr. Pullman had something more in View at this time than greater econo- my and efficiency in administration and improved facilities for production. He wanted to establish a community of workmen which should have no paral- lel in America in respect to the neat— ness, sanitary conditions and artistic and moral influences of its surround- lngs, and which should be radically dif— ferent in these respects from the typ- ical factory village of the east and the mining settlements of long-occupied regions like Pennsylvania. Chicago was situated centrally in the terrtory where Pullman cars were most in demand. But the high price of land-inside the'city limits, together with other considerations, decided him to select a site out on the prairie, four- teen miles south of the heart of Chica. go. A tract including 3,500 acres lying on the west shore of a. sheet of water known as Lake Calumet, and about five miles from Lake Michigan, was pur- chased. A great deal of it was bog. But it was redeemed by wise engineer- ing skill and irresistible enterprise. Al- most like magic there sprung from the soil a small but beautiful and complete city. Inasmuch as the Pullman company erected not only numerous buildings for its own manufacturing processes— foundries, forges, machine shops, car- penter shops and paint shops—but also the dwelling houses, stores, school, church, savings bank and railway sta- tion, this plan insured a certain standard of beauty for all the places of residence, secured a uniform strip of lawn in front of all the houses, and protected every tenant against slovenly neighbors and corner groceries. All whether it was drygoods, food, stations cry or fuel, was to be obtained only in one locality, and in that locality the purchasers were sheltered from the weather by a glass roof over a broad and graceful arcade. In like manner the other business houses were kept apart from the homes. And as for the ginmill, neither church nor dwelling could have it next door, because it was utterly excluded from the place. So, too was the gambling hell. The asphalt streets were kept as clean as a parlor floor. Every habita— tion was provided with gas, water and perfect drains. The sewerage system was so arranged that all liquid refuse was pumped away to a distance and used in fertilizing a vast farm. Pri— vate and public flower beds dotted the lawns. The occupants of the houses an the people who carried on mercan- tile pursuits were all compelled to rent their quarters of the company. None of them could own or build. The arch- itects and builders were hired by the l merchandise, - single corporation that dominated ev—, Verything, so that unity of design and policy in matters affecting the com- munity as a whole was secured beydnd all risk. The so-called “City of Pull- man,” which within a few years after its foundation,'in 1880, had a popula- tion of twelve thousand, was formally annexed to Chicago in‘ 1889, but the company’s chart-er gave it full adminis- trative powers in its own domain. Although the labor troubles of 1894 exposed Mr.’Pullman to a good deal of criticism and misrepresentation, it is nevertheless true that in founding the city which bore his name he was ani- mated very largelv by philanthropic and original ideas, His theory regard- ing sleeping and drawing room cars was that their unprecedented elegance, would exert a restraining and refining influence upon the passengers, and that their handsome carpets and upholstery would not only be safe from the boots and expectorations of caieless men, but that the traveling public would be edu- cated by their surroundings. Of course he expected to make money incidena tally, but his venture was generally considered a bold if not crazy one at first. 111 like manner he believed that. the exceptional, artistic, intellectual and moral influences with Which he environed his workmen, would notbe thrown away, but, on the contrary, would make them more useful em- ployes and better citizens. Pride, am- bition, self respect, loyalty and thrift have certainly been stimulated to 21 gr eat degree. About half of the population of Pull- man are—or were a few years ago, op- eratives in the car shops, and at least two thousand were depositors at the savings bank. In 1893, before the last period of hard times, their accumula- tions in that? institution amounted to nearly $700,000. Besides those employ- es who'rented dwellings inside the city limits, there were more than two thou- sand who lived just over the line. About half of them owned their own homes. healthy and bright, as Well as prosper— ous. It has been asserted that a rep- lesentative assembly of the res dents of Pullman give distinctive evidence; of superior refinement and thrift, as com,- pared with any other body of Ameri- (can workman—New Yerk Tribune. i The people are singularly‘ FOUNDLINGS IN RUSSIA. An Institution Supported by the Mann- facture of Play In: Cords. The idea for an institution for foundlings in Moscow was first ad- vanced and the institution was found- ed by Catherine II. After the tender-hearted Empress had long worried over her inability to take care of the hundre of little waifs, she thought of a-brilliant idea. At that time the playing cards in the country were -manufac_tured by pri- vate enterprise. She would 'reserve that monopoly for the Government, and with the profits accruing from the sale of the cards, she would found and maintain a comfortable, home for fri'endless babies. It was impossible to suppress gambling in the Empire, but it was thus turned to the benefit of a noble cause. The crimes of malpractice and in- fanticide are rare in Russia, and the penalty is exile to Siberia for life. And there is no need of a resort to crime as there are numerous institutions throughout the country where infants are taken charge of. But of the many foundlings" homes the largest and most finely equipped is the onei'established by Catherine II, where fifteen thous- and babies are taken care of each year. The conditions for admission are the easiest possible. No embarras- sing questions are asked. Only three queries are made: “Is the baby bap- tized?” “Is it vaccinated?” and “What The new inmate receives the name of the saint whose name appears in the calendar for the day of its admission. It receives a Christian name from the doctor who is in attendance. A re- ceipt is given to the person who brings the child, upon which appears the number given to it. A careful record is made on the institution’ 3 books, and the corresponding number is placed on a. tag, which never leaves the neck of the infant. In case it is ever desired to reclaim the baby, it would be an easy matter. This is the only institution in the world where no artificial food is used. There are eight-hundred wet-nurses, each of whom receives the care of a child in turn. After registration the baby is treated to a bath and dressed in the uniform, which is of fine white material. The child is then mea= sured and weighed, and a record made of the numbers. "One of the things which shows how carefully the children are treated is the fact that the little bathtubs .re lined with flannel to prevent chills. Children prematurely born are put in- to individual cribs. These fit into a larger crib, in which water is kept at the temperature of the body. The children, as the},r grow up, er fitted for useful occupations. 7119 girls become seamstresses or nur:e.~. in the institution which cared for ii. in in their youth. No mention of parentage is ever al- lowed. It is said that some of the most talented and brilliant people in the kingdom have been raised in the foundlings’ home in Moscow. Their secret, however, is religIOusly kept.— Ne ew York Tribune. (D HER WEIGHT Of- MUCH UTILITY. A Unique Way of Printing a Newspaper \Vhen a. Press “’as Not at Hand. General Joseph S; Smith, of Maine, tells how he published a paper without a press in Bath, Me., many years ago: “When I’d get my paper all set up and ready for the press, I’d lay the type on a washs-tand, get it all levelled down well in the chase, or the frame in which ’twas locked up, and then I’d call the hiredugirl. She weighed about two hundred and ten pounds when she sat down. That’s what I wanted—sit— ting down weight. So, after the hired it the sheet of paper, and on top of that. the blanket, and then I politely invited the hired girl to sit down on the washstand. Two hundred and ten Ipounds, remember. The result was just as good an impresison as you could get on any $100 hand press made in the United States. My edition in those days was about two hundred _ copies, and the hired girl was good for the job at one sitting—no, two hun- dred sittings. And she took an inter- est in it, too, and was just as ready for business every publicdtion day as a $20,000 Hoe perfecting press would be.” Blurred Shop-\Vimluwe.

Professor Nor-ton Illustrates with a. Story on Biology. Charles Eliot Norton, professor of arts at Harvard University, whom Mat- thew Arnold described as the "‘only gentleman in America,” objects most heaitily to undergraduate special'zing. He believes in the English Univeisity training, which gives a man a broad education, and a. liberal equipment for . citizenship, which makes of him a. cul- tivated gentleman. In one of his lec- ture courses last year Prof. Norton told of» a student with whom he had recently talked. The young man was a sophomore; his specialty, biology. He described. with great enthusiasm the character of his work and lament- ed the fact that he had been unable, through the regulations of the faculty, to take‘r‘nore biology in his freshman year. As a junior and a senior he in- tended to elect it exclusively, he said. The young man’s enthusiasm was rather more saddening than inspiring to the professor. Four years’ devotion to a single subject was crushing to _ his ideals of education. So he ask- ed: > “Don’t you think that your career in college would eventually be more sat- isfactory to yourself, and of more prof— ‘ it to others, if you were to take less of biology and acquaint yourself a lit- tle with literature and history and the’ arts?” The sophomore thought he was we destined for biology. For some time Prof. Norton was si- lent. Then he said, rather absently: “Do you confine yourself to any par- ticular branch of biology ?” The face of the student brightened. It was evident that he did. To the professor there was something pathet- , ic as well as humorous in the reply that came quickly: “Oh, yes! My work is entirely de- voted to a study of the white ant’s in- testines. ’_’«—New York Mail and Ex- press. Emmet: for Groups 01' Animals.

There is a convenient arrangement in many railway stations in Germany. Passengers for suburban stations, in- stead of going to the regular ticket of- fice and standing in line for several minutes, sometimes so long that they miss their train, can go to an automat- ic box and by dropping a nickel in the slot, or a coin equivalent to the amdunt of the fare can supply them- selves with a ticket in an instant. There are rows of these boxes erected against the wall in convenient loca— tions. The name of the town is paint- ed in large letters, and underneath the price of the ticket.

Mr. N., a struggling lawyer in' a small town in Ohio, received a call from a farmer who wanted legal ad- vice. Mr. N. took down a much-used volume from his small bookcase, and gave the required advice, for which he charged the modest sum of $3. His client handed him a five dollar bill. With a troubled look Mr. N. took it. He flushed in the face as he passed his fingers nervously through his pockets, and his embarrassment increased as he continued his search among the pa- pers on the desk. “Well,” said be, taking down the law book again, and turning over the pages,‘ I’ll give you' two more dollars’ worth of advice.”— Pittsburg Chronicle.
