It says that during Lord Russell’s previous tonr in this country with Lord Coleridge he came in con tact witb many members of the bar, inoluding Ex-Sonator W. M. Erarta. It waa while walking with Mr. Erartf on* day along tha bauks of a stream that hia attention was called to a point at whioh Washington, aosording to t tradition, had thrown a dollar righ1 across. The water waa wide, and Lord Raaaell looked doubtful. \Yonknos dollar went further in those dayi thah it goes now,” the American law blandly .insinuate !. \Ah aaiJ Lord Ruaaell, quite eqnal to the oo oaaion, \and it may hare been easy enongh to Washington; it is wcl' known that he threw e aovorcigr across the Atlantic.” T h rift and melody do not teem W go together, cxolairas H a rper's Week ly.

TIERCY was not in a good hum or tb a t day as she snt at tho breakfast ta b i c pouring coffcc for ber husband and dispensing bread and butter to tbo three plump lit tle Picroye. She was a hand some, overdressed woman, with a.good deal of falso hair, frizzed and pnffed and braided on tbe top of her head, and a complexion thnt bore remote witness to tne constant nse of cosmetics. And Mr. Piorcy, at bis end of the table, was evidently ill at ease as he broke his egg and nibbled diligently at his roll. \B n t what was I to do, my dear?\ eaid he, after a brief silence, which was by no means peaceful. \D o ? ” shrilly'retorted Mrs. Pioroy. ‘‘Why, what do other peoplo do? Aro we to keep a home for tbe indigent poor, or a refuge for the widowed and fatherless?\ “ My dear—my dear,\ pleaded Mr. Pierey, who waa a small man with thin hair and apectacles, “ yon may be a widow yonrself some day.” “ And if 1 am I shall not go begging among my relatives, that yon may do- pend on,” paid Mrs. Pierey. \And alter all, sbe isn’t any .relative of TOST— o s lji y a w kn«tUaw'a suit* T'J like to know what earthly elalm sbe has npon yon I I declare the more I think of it the more I am amazed at the woman’s presum ption. B e r very name is an aggravation, too. ‘Plume Pierey,’ indeed. I'll wager my new laoe pin that she was a second-rate actress when she m arried your brother. No, Mr. Pierey, if you think that I —’’ Bnt here the torrent of tho lady's eloquence was c u t short by tbe o d c x - peoted appearance on the scene of the very subject of her objurgation—a tall, pretty woman of abont fonr and twenty, whose wavy, golden tresees and delicately fair complexion con trasted vividly with the docp m o u rn ing weeds ehe wore. “ A veil down to ber feet,” mentally ojaeulatod Mrs. Abel Pierey. “ And a six-inch bias band of tbo very beet Conrtland crape on her gown. I won- dor who’s expected to pay for all this?\ Abel Pieroy, the kindest hearted of little men, welcomed his brother's widow with gonuine hospitality; but Matilda, his wifo, looked askance at her, witb no friendly smile. “ Of conrso you will consider this yonr hom e,\ raid Mr. Pieroy, as ho made haste to uraw a chair close to the tiro. “ Until yon are able to snit jo n rsell somewhere else,” crisply added his wife. The widow said little; sho only looked, with large, wistful eyes, from one to tho other as she eat there, tbe morning aanshine turning her fair looks to braidod masses of gold, tbe pearly delicacy of her skin arousing the liveliest envy in Mrs. Abel's boart. “ Though, of coarse, it’s only some Frenoh balm, or Ciroassian oream or other, that I haven't heard of,” said she to herself. But after Mr. Pierey had buttoned on his overcoat and gloves, be came back lo the breakfast room, while bis wife was pattiog np the children's cobool lanches in the pantry. “ I ’m not mnch of a talker, Plum e,” ■aid he, in an odd, hesitating w a y ; “ b n t yon arc welcome, my dear—very weleome. And 1 hope you will (ry to feel at home. Don't mind M atilda— jnst at first. She’s a little peculiar, Matilda is, but I do assure you ■he's—” •‘Mr. Pieroy,\ uttered a sliarp, warning voice at this instant from the threshold, “ i.s it possible tbat you haven’t started yel ? And you know how particular Budge and Bodloy are os to y o n r g e tting to tho etoru at uioe o'clock precisely.” Mr. Pierey turned pink all over. \Yes my dear—yes,'' said he, \ I ’m quite snre to be in time !\ And off he started on a gentlo trot. When be was gone Plume took off her bonnet and veil, removed ber mantla and gloves, and went into tbe kitchen. “ Cannot I ' do something t-> help yon, Bister M atilda?\ said the. pliaJ- ingty. Mra Abel Pierey looked witb cold bine eyee and lips uzinily compressed, at the lair face, a ^ - ’h was younger and fresher than ever with.mt the jot black circlet of the bonnet, u n i th e slight, graceful figure before h e r . “ No, I tbank you,” asiiflie. “ I am not nred to,having fine ladies in my kitchen. “ B nt if you will len t me an apron — ’’ “ No, I thauk yon, Mrs. Oiw.il 1 Pierey,’’ repeated the honsewifc. “ Yon wilt find th e newspaper in tiu hall.

Aoel P.. rev. weighing oot onnc.a of sugar an 1 pounds of floor with an unerring “ No,” said Plnme ; \ I was a teacher when Oswald m arried me. Bnt what did yon mean abont tbe advertising colum ns of tbe p a p e rs?\ “.Sitnatione, you know,” said Mrs. Pierey, reaching over to the raisin box. “Bridget, you bave been at the raisins, ns trne as I livo 1 There’s half ot ’em gono since I was here last!’’ \No mum, I haven’t I” sharply re sponded Bridget, wbo was nseJ to tbese kitchen skirmishes. “ S u re I never lived in a house before where they coan|ed the raisins and the lump! of coal, and if I don’t snit, mum, it’s a m o n th’s warning from to-day, if ye’e plaze. ” “ .Situations !’’ repeated Plnme, ball afraid of Bridget's warlike demeanor, or hnlf pnzzled at lier eister-in-Iaw'r words. “ Yes,” said Mrs. Abel, tartly, pay ing no attention to Bridget and bet skillet—“ in a glove factory you know, or iu a fancy store, or even as uurBery governucs? or attendant to some eld erly invalid. For of e o n rseyon know,' with anotber.of those oblique lookt that made poor Pinnae feel so uncom fortable, \you expect to work fci your liviDg. We aro not rich euongL to support all our relations. Abel's salary was reduced last year, and no one knows bow striotly I have to econ omize in order to make ends meet. And a strong youog woman liko yon ought to be ashamed to sit dowu ou a sickly man with a family, like my bneband—” “ S top—oh, stop!” eaid Plume, lift ing np her baud, as if to ward off some invisible terror. “ He aaid I waa wel come. He told me—” “ T h at's just like Abel I” said Mrs. Pierey, scornfully. \H e 'd take in all creation if he could. He Dover stops to think whether ho oan afford it or not.” “ I am sorry that I intrude,\ said Plume, with dignity. “ I t shall not bo for loug. I will look at tho news paper at once. ” “ Yoe, t h a t’s a deal the best plan,\ assented Mrs. Piercv, nngracionsly. “ Of course yon won’t m ention ont littlo chat to Abel. Ho m ight be vexed; and, after all, I'm ouly speak ing for your good.” Plume looked at her with an ex pression of face which somehow made Mrs. Abel Pierey feet ns if ebo were shrinkiug up like a withered walnut in its shell. Yes, I know,\ said tho yonng widow. “ B ut you need not be afraid ; I am no tale bearer, to make miaohicl in any one’s fam ily.” Mrs. Pierey felt very nnoomforable after this little conversation wae ended. How she did look at m e t1 thought she. “ B u t I only spoke the trutb, after all. We can’t be burdened with ber s u p p o rt, let Abel talk as ho pleases. And no m atter what she says, I believe she has been an actress. No one bnt an actress oonld ever p n t on such royal ways as th a t.” Half an honr afterward, when the bell rang, and some one inquired for Mra. Oswald Pieroy, Mrs. Abel nodded her head to the oake she waa taking ont of tbe oven. \Company a lready,\ said she ; “ and tfi-’ntlemen,company, as I live! Well, If this is the way ehe intends to go on, tho sooner she suits herself with a situation the better I\ Mrs. Pioroy had been aecretly anx ious for an opportunity of quarreling with her sister-in-law. Here it was al la s t ; and when the old gentleman witb tbe glossy broadcloth suit wns gone, she bounced into the parlor with a red spot ou either cheok-bone like sigDab of war. \So you have been receiving com pany, Mr3. Oswald ?’’ snid she. Yes,” Plume innocently answered. Gentlemen company, to o l” cried Mrs. Pierey. Jt wns Mr. Van Or Jen, my hus band's lawyer,\ explaimedtPlume. “ Oh, I dare sa y !\ said Mrs. Pierey. All that sounds very w e ll; bnt I bare tbo character of my house to look to, and—” He is coming back witb a car riage.” hurriedly spoke Plnme. \I am to go to hia wife's house a t once. Mrs. Van Ordeu is willing to give me the shelter whioh my own husband’t relatives g rudge me I” 'I wish her joy of her bargain, 7 am tn re,” said Mrs. Abel Pieroy, with a toss ol the mountains of false hair tbat oron ned h e r bead. And so tho two women parted in ne spirit of amity. I dare say she'll go straight tc tho s tore,” thought Mrs. Abel, “ and invent a pitiful story for my h u sband’t benefit. And Abel will make a great tuss—Abel always was soft about nlr relatives—but I shan't mind it. I al ways havo been mistroes in my owr house, nnd I always intend to be, Os wald's widow or no Oswald’s widow.’ N e v e rtheless, she could not help feeling a little apprehensive when hot husband came in to tea. For when Abel really was angry, his anger signi fiod (omething. But to her surprise he entered all smiles, and rubbing his palms, gleefully. “ So Plume has gone?” said he. “ Yes,” said Mrs. Pieroy, pretending to he busy with a k not in the second child's shoe. \She has gone. But how did you know it?” “ Van O rd.n stopped at the store to tell me,” answered Mr. Pierey. “ S trange, wasn't it? And quite ro mantic, too.\ “ What on e a rth is tbe man talking abont ?” raid Mrs. Pieroy, aroused at last into something liko active in ter est. “ Why, didn't Tlume tell yon? II seems that thoso last investments tbst poor Oswald fancied he bad beggared himself with, have turned np trump cards after all. And Van Orden tellr I me that Oswald’s widow is worth a hundred aud fifty thousand dollars.” ! Mrs. Ab.l Pieroy turned first green, then crimson.

Generally clubs for working girls nre in tho vicinity of their homes, not of tho factories where they are employed, making them use less for the lunch hour. SHE WAS A nEROISE.

Yonng, of the town of Osbnrn iu that State, a clever aud ca pable young woman, who had taken every study aad pasted every exami nation required of male applicants, determined to test the law, and did so with so much skill that Chief Justice Morgan declared the obnoxious law unconstitutional and admitted tho plucky litigant to tbo rauks of the profession.

WOMEN TO STPDY AORICOLTrn*. After a long struggle women sre admitted to the School of A g riculture in M innesota,which is a branch of tho university. The hoDor of introducing this innovation is due to Professor Haecker, hoad of the departm e n t of dairy husbandry, who induced tbo Board of RegcDta to allow them a fonr weeks’ course at tbe end of tho regular term. Sixty womeu wero enrolled in the first class, which was formed lust May. They received practical lectures on the oare of cream, creaming milk, churning, and caring for the bnt ter, and are also taught bow to make cheoso by tbo new method, which re quires only one hour.

Such littlo frilly basques are very becoming. M anufacturers aro beginning to realize tbat it is no longer necessary to offer oloths of eccentric weavo and bizarre coloring to catok tho favor of Vmerioau shoppers. Tho taste of tho pnblio is being every day o.tncatod boyoad the need of startling novel ties. Tho new tailor mado gown, fash ioned strictly up-to-date, must havo tho small sleeve and the plain skirt.

A g roat many I aco and obiffon fichus are worn, and they seem to be the very finish needed for thin gowua. They are always graceful and becoming and particularly appropriate for sum mer wear, and aro also sufficient adornm e n t for tbe whole gown, and have so many advantages over waist trimm ings that they are uuiversally fancied. N o thing will be moro worn or moro becoming for street wear than the great fiuffy bow? which comes to us direct from Paris. They are either of chiffon or siik Aud nre edged with laoe or plain to suit the caprice of the wearer. Thoy must bo huge, however, to be oither stylish or becoming and must not droop, but stand up wcil u n der the cars. The collar is perhaps tho most u n i que part ot the costume. Instcnd of being an inconspicuous coat collar as of old, it is a deoidcdty liar ing affair, woll stiffened and most conspicuous. It is a collar suggestive of the Eliza bethan ruff, aud seems o u t of place on a tailor-made gown. But Paris favors it; theroforo it will be worn.
