THE 21mm.
Eoius. dreaming of a night in spring,
)lurmured a melody so passing sweet
’l‘hat echo. liush’d to hear, could not repeat.
But one frail instrument hung quivering,
And caught the music‘s breath in every string.
There holding it until the harp should meet,
Touch gentle as the night wind’s kiss, to cheat ,
Enchantment, and the voice from slumber bring.
Thine, lad y, is that magic. The lost strain.
As to the breath of May perfumed and bland,
Awakeus to the passing of thy hand.
And with a dying sweetness throbs again.
So nevermorc. can duleet murmurs move
The source of tears, the ecstasy of love.
—Henry ’l'yrrcll in Cosmopolitan.
WOMAN 1N JOURNALISM.
Every Newspaper and Press Agency Load-
ed Down with Manuscript at Low Prices.
When fifty women apply for every opening
on the press as contributor, correspondent or
department editor; when every paying news
paper and press agency is loaded down with
manuscript, what follows? The best known
writers—women whose wit, experience and
knowledge of society best fits them for their
work—complain that they cannot receive a
third of the prices paid for articles in 1880.
One of the three foremost women on the
newspapers today, a woman whose wealth
makes it remarkable that she should be in
that gallery at all, was surprised when the
equally wealthy proprietor of an old city
daily desired her to write for five dollars a
letter, because he had “so many applications
from women whose work compared with her
own who were glad to work at that rate. "’
She took the place presumably at a compro-
mise rate.
“Why should I pay your prices?” the editor
and proprietor of the oldest Boston society
paper said to a well.traincd writer. “I run
newspapers to make money, and there are
any number of women on Beacon street and
Back Bay glad to send me work at $3 a col-
umu 'to pay for their gloves, and plenty of
young lawyers on Court street willing to do
the same to get something to eat.” If this is
what Harvard and the higher education pre-
pares for us all, I fear We will come to think
as contemptuously of clerks and students as
any strong handed baron of the middle ages.
“I think it is better to have all I can do at
half price, than to ask more and do less,” a
useful and popular writer on the staff of ii
leading magazine said to me three years ago.
She thought herself fortunate in being able
to write day and evening, but the last word
from her was that she had broken down, iii-
sane from overwork—Shirley Dare in Cos-
mopolitan.
dame of “Progressive Observation."
“Progressive Observation” is the name
given to a new Boston game that has been
taken up with interest in social circles. It-
has an advantage over “donkey parties” and
progressive cuchre in that it teaches something
useful. The hostess provides five tables, at
which are seated four or five persons, or even
more if desired. Table N o. 1, or the “head”
table, represents the sense of sight, the high-
est sense. Table No. 2 is touch; N0. 3, hear-
ing; No. 4, smell, and No. 5, taste. There is
a teacher for each table, and the table is sup-
plied with a variety of objects suited to the
use of the table. For instance, the teacher
at the sight table holds before each player in,
turn a collection of small objects on a. tray,
and after the lapse of half a minute takes
away the tray and asks the player to name
the articles. Or the teacher gives each per-
son a single article, and after a short inspec-
tion calls for answers to all questions that
can be asked about it. Score is kept by the
teacher, and the player making the least mis-
takes progresses to the next table.
At the close of the evening the player who
has made the most “progrcSSions” is awarded
the prize. The variety of objects for the
several tables is only limited by the teacher’s
ingenuity and the resources of the house. At
the “touch” table the players close their eyes
and depend on the sense of feeling alone for
their impressions of the article given them.
This is not so easy as it may be supposed.
For the “hearing” table a musical instrument
may be used and the test given on a note or
a combination of notes; or a mnnber of thin
glasses may be used in alike way, the player
being asked to give the number of a particu—
lar sound which is given alone after being
struck in a regular succession. For the taste
and smell tables the kitchen can be drawn
upon, and such things as flour, meal, pow/- ;

Indian Annuities at the Agency.
1 had not been long at the Standing Rock ‘
Agency, Fort Yates, Dakota, when the reg-
ular issue of annuities was made to the In-
dians of the reservation. The Indians rc-
eeived their articles in a. room about thirty
feet square, surrounded on three sides by
counters piled high with annuity goods.

list of things that the Indian and his family
were to receive. In a moment the air was
literally thick with articles. Trousers, pails,
caps, shawls, blankets, stockings, tin plates '
and cups, woven wire mattresses, butter
knives, boxes of axle gnaw, woolen scarfs,
mittens, axes, canvas, needles, thread and
cotton shirts, all rained down in the most
bountiful manner upon the blanket, which
was then gathered at the four corners and
dragged to the door, where its new owner rc-

stretched upon the instrument. It is largely
due to atmospheric conditions. On damp
days the strings in an orchestra are much
more likely to snap than upon others.
players are more likely, also, to meet with
this accident than others, because of per~ :
spiration at the fingers’ ends. This will
tend constantly .to throw the E string,
and the others also, out of tune, and
eventually to make the string too susceptible
to the strain to which it is subjected.
Another matter which frequently excites
uninformed listeners is the endurance which
violinists manifest in bowing their instru-
ments. It seemsto the spectator as if the
constant strain of bowing would tire a. man
after an hour and a half of playing so that
he could not go through another piece. As

‘ in Fashionable Circles.
A person who is not in the swim of stylt
himself has m idea what torture a woman of
fashion endures. For the past ten days there
has been a large crowd of enthusiastic wo-
menijOStling each other in front of a window
of a. ‘vaell’ jeweler. The writer tried for
threesuccessiVe days to see what was agitatr
ing the female mind, and along about 5
o’clbck the other afternoon the crowd began
to diminish, and a chance at the window was
awarded him.
A. very tempting banana, half peeled, lay
upon an old gold plush cushion, and a dell-
cate little pin with a chain attached lay at its
side. Nothing else was visible. Finally,
when the mind had been made sore with
wonder, a shining black bug shot out from
under the black peeling of the banana and
thiawled about the cushion. There was a thin
delicate gold ring about its body, which was
attached to the pin and chain. The bug ‘
looked like a beetle, and had a smooth, gray
glossy back and long, well formed legs. A
colored porter opened the door to admit the
curiosity seeker, and. the following informa-
tion was given concerning the animal:
“That, sir, is to be the swell thing in ladies’
jewelry. The style originated in Yucatan,
where the ladies wear two or three at a time,
and it will not be long before every fashion-
able woman in this citywill be wearing one.”
“Women of sound mental caliber?” asked
the listener.
“Yes, sir, intellectual women. “To are
now busy getting out some on the order of
well known ladies. The backs of the bugs
are hard and admit of mounting in rubies or
diamonds without injury to the bug, but this
is merely a matter of taste. The rings en-
circling the body are frequently set in rubies,
though the chief beauty, of the ornament is
to have the back mounted. Just imagine the
oddity of wearing a live insect set in
diam' onds. le, I tell you, sir, it is one of
the greatest cram that ever struck the city.
They can be worn in the hair and at. the
neck, and the chain that you see attached
prevents them from crawling- only just so.
far. Yes, I know it makes one shudder to
think of it, but there is no torture too great
for a stylish woman.
“Expensive? No, the bugs alone cost $7,
and the quality of gold and style of stones
must depend upon the purse of the purchaser.
They are very easily kept, as all a. lady has
to do after wearing one is to lay it near a
banana, where the odor alone will keep it
alive. If the craze reaches the point we pre-
dict, thcre will be men learning the trade of
mounting bugs’ backs.”—-New York Evening
