After the public funeral over Damala,
the dead husband of Sarah Bernhardt,
efee had a real funeral according to Greek
rites. The dead man was dressed in full
evening costume and placed in an arm
chair, around which were lighted candles
til large numbers. Prayers for the dead
Were recited by the archimandrite, as-
efeted by four priests. The only persons
present were Sarah Bernhardt and her

the deceased, and the police inspector of
the district.

natural advantages. “Enterprise and
Work” build cities. Natural advantages
bring about indifference, and often im-
pudence. Galveston is too well bred to be
impudent buf it must be acknowledged
that she is powerful indifferent at times.

As a rule, on the great through lines,
in 1843, everything except passenger
traffic was a very secondary affair. The
Great Western was earning £13,000 a
week from passengers and only £3,000
from goods. On the London and Bir-
mingham the goods receipts were much
the same, but the passengers returned
some £15,000. On the latter line, for the
first five months of its existence, the
passenger receipts were about £130,000,
while the total goods earnings were
£2,225 9s. 3d. On the Southwestern the
proportion was six to one, on the Brigh-
ton more than seven to one, on the South-
eastern more than ten to one.
Even on the Midland Counties and
North Midland, where nowadays passen-
gers are far less important than goods
and minerals, five-eighths of the whole
receipts came from the coaching traffic.
Taking England as a whole, the goods
traffic was only about a quarter of the
total instead of three-fifths, as it is to-
day. * * * T]ie highways were un-
occupied. The turnpike tolls from Swin-
don to Christian Malford, in Wilts,
which had been let at £1,99,2 in 1841,
only produced £654 in 1842. For the
tolls on the road from Wakefield to Shef-
field not a single tender was sent in, and
the trustees were obliged to collect them
themselves. The forty coaches which
had run daily through Northampton
were all dead within si.x months-of the
opening of the London and Birming-
ham. Almost every week came a no-
tice that some famous line of coaches
had ceased to run.
Here is one under date of Oct. 15,
1842: “A few years since ninety-four
coaches used to pass through St. Albans
daily. On Saturday last the Leeds ex-
press, formerly called the ‘Sleepy Leeds,’
which has been on the road upward of
a hundred years, ceased running, it be-
ing no longer a profitable speculation;
and it is said another out of the four re-
maining is likely soon to follow the ex-
ample.”
Six weeks later we read: “The mail
from Worcester to Ludlow, after run-
ning for half a century, made its last
journey on Tuesday, Nov. 29, thus leav-
ing the public without official convey-
ance of letters from Worcester to Ten-
bury.”
In March, 1842, a few weeks after the
opening of the Edinburgh and Glasgow
railway, The Glasgow Courier reports:
“The whole of the stage coaches from
Glasgow and Edinburgh are now off the
road, with the exception of the 6 o’clock
morning coach, which is kept running
in consequence of its carrying the mail
bags.”—The Railways of England—Ac-

At the close of 1888 the southern
states had 38,252 miles of railroad, as
against 2 J, 562 in 1880. Since last Janu-
ary 1000 miles more have been built,
making the gain since 1880 about 18,900
miles. At present the smith is building
more railway mileage than any other
part of the country.
Chicago makes a strong appeal for the
world’s fair, and, no question about it,
Chicago could be depended upon to make
the fair one of the new world’s grandest
triumphs. St Louis has the only really
great agricultural and mechanical expo-
sition in the country, but that city is
tiardly progressive enough to handle a
world’s achievements and a world’s
wealth of visitors.
The prices of rooms seem to be getting
a little more firm in view of an increased
demand and the approach of the colder
months, necessitating the expense of
heating and a larger expenditure of gas.
It looks as if there would be a rise in the
market quite shortly, and roomers who
are not yet supplied would do well to se-
cure what they need before the advance
takes place. Table board, prices are un-
changed though active; demand fair.

Incidents of Courtship.
The German woman is neither the ex-
cellent housewife which she professes to
be nor the bluestocking she is often
thought. “Gretchen” exists no longer,
except on the lids of the boxes of can-
died fruits, and she is quite a match for
Faust when she meets him. In fact, the
German girl of today, especially in Ber-
lin, is not so much like the Marguerite of
Goethe as the Loulou of “Gyp.”
German school life is a serious busi-
ness. It begins at 7 years old, and the
two subjects of study which are special-
ly in favor with all classes of people of
any pretensions are French and the
piano. “I do not think it is an exag-
geration,” says the writer, “to say that
95 per cent, of the daughters of parents
in easy circumstances play the piano and
90 per cent, speak French.”
As soon as a girl becomes confirmed
her education is generally concluded,
unless she goes in for special higher
branches of study. Her parents begin
to think of getting her married, and she
goes to her first ball. Courtship, the pre-
liminaries to which generally take place
on the floor of the ball room, or, in the
winter, to the rhythm of the same waltz
time played by the same military band
on the ice, is inaugurated thus: If the
young man means business he calls on
the young lady’s parents one Sunday
and breaks the ice. He will then be
asked to dinner, and a ceremonious
exchange of little sentimental presents
will take place between the pair, inter-
larded with sentimental sentences—al-
ways in French.
When an engagement has been defi-
nitely announced the young people are
allowed quite an English amount of free-
dom in their intercourse. Indeed, if we
may believe the writer, their manners
and customs are considerably more
frankly free than ours in this country,
for, she says, “they do not scruple to
kiss each other in public as often as they
feel inclined, and there is nothing more
disagreeable at a soiree than the spec-
tacle of one of these sentimental
couples.” Before marriage the German
girl is a mighty reader of novels, her ca-
pacity for sentimental stories being
simply inexhaustible. Rarely, however,
does marriage in G erman prove the real-
ization of any of the dreams in which
her girlish fancy has taken delight.
The German married woman has never
occupied the same place as does the
French woman, by reason of the total <
absence of any sentiment of chivalry or
romance in the treatment of women by
men in Germany. True, the sons, the 1
ra; e of eight per cent per annum from date until

purchase money for lot No. 2 in block No. 3, in
the town of Clifton, Bosque county, Texas; said

ano that in ^crvpyahee a vendor’s lien on
said lot was .expressly reserved to secure th
payment of said note; that thereafter said George
Sealy endorsed said notes “Pay to the order of

now the owner of said note; and that though
often so requested defendant has wholly neg-
lected and refused to pay said note or anv part
thereof; wherefore plaintiff prays judgment for
amount of said note, interest and costs, and for
foreclosure of said vendor s lien on said lot.

Thus, husbands, the brothers of the women of
Germany deserve our respect for their
energy, their character—all that supplies
a nation with its force. But how disas-
trous is that force for the women. Force
is more fatal to grace than even to right.
What hardness in the dignity! What
carelessness, what supreme indifference
on the part of those proud and selfish
heroes, who do not ask their companions
of the other sex to understand them and
appreciate them, but only to keep house
satisfactorily and to bear a number of
children! So far, indeed, does th® Ger-
man husband carry his want of gallantry
that he absolutely dislikes to see his wife
make use of any of those advantages of
the toilet the results of which . are com-
prised in the epithet scornfully applied
The state of intellectual, moral and
social subjection of the German woman
naturally does not tend to develop any
originality in her. She never starts a
new idea or a new fashion. Imitation,
not invention, is the utmost of which
she is capable, and even in imitating she
is slow. The German woman is crushed
beneath the overwhelming superiority
of her lord and master. The famous
“deutches weib,” who is the traditional
type of the German woman, is just the
German of Tacitus—the servant of man.

A BABY IN THE SHOP.
The neat little white frame house in
which this pretty carpenter lives has a
grass plot at the back, and at the end of
the yard is a shed covered with morning
glories, in which she plies her trade.
“What put it into your head to become
a carpenter?” was the first question asked
of the sweet faced little matron, after
she had. signified her willingness to be
interviewed.
“My own needs prompted me,” she re- '
plied, as she planed away at the top of a i
pine table. “I have a taste for wood
carving, and before I was married I had
done a good deal of ornamental work of
that sort. When I married and began
housekeeping I had to solve the problem
of furnishing my home with little
money.' In these days of artistic fur-
nishings, this is by no means a difficult
one, but what is difficult is to find a car-
penter to carry out one’s ideas. What is
the use of having a nice, delicate, artis-
tic idea about a bookcase or a table or a
cupboard if you must confide it to some
untrained ignoramus of a carpenter?”
“I perceive,” replied the interviewer,
gravely. She was a woman herself and
understood the situation.
“Now, I met with exactly this experi-
ence,” said Mrs. Leyton, as she seated
herself on a bench, picked up her baby
and weeded out the bits of shavings
from his blonde curls. “The consequence
was that I bought a set of carpenter’s
tools and some pine boards and
structed my frames for myself,
between rough carpentering and the
finer art of wood carving, I about fur-
nished my own house.
“I fitted up this shed as a carpenter’s
shop and sent circulars about the neigh-
borhood. This was a year ago. Orders
began to come in almost immediately,
because, you see, I had appealed to the
necessities of the people, and that is the
first step toward money making.”
Here the little matron laughed in a
cheery, contented way and hugged her
little son, who was half asleep.
“Of course, when I was first married,”
she continued, “I never thought of
working for myself, but after a couple
of years of experience of life, I came to
the conclusion that an occupation is as
necessary to a married woman as to a
single one. So I hired an extra servant I

and has a fine, healthy boy baby playing
to relieve me of the household duties—I
detest housework and love tinkering
with hammers and saws—and I became
a professional carpenter.”
“Might I ask if you make much
money?” was the next question.
“I have made clothes, pocket money,
nurse’s wages, amusements, a summer
outing and have several hundred dollars
in the bank. ”.
A SAMPLE CUSTOMER.
There was a ring at the yard bell,
which was presently opened by a good
looking nursemaid. A tail, handsome
young woman entered and crossed the
grass plot to the carpenter's shed. Mrs.
Leyton gave her baby into the nurse’s
arms and turned to her customer.
The customer was evidently a young
bride and very much impressed with the
dignity of her position. She nad made
a design for a dining room buffet to fit
into an alcove. She had brought her de-
sign with her and submitted it to the
pretty carpenter.
The design was a simple but artistic
one—high and narrow, with several
shelves, upon which plaques and cups
were to be arranged in aesthetic combi-
nations. There was also a little scroll-
work adornment.
The little woman studied the design
carefully, going over the various points
one after the other, suggesting various
alterations and inquiring as to the exact
position of the cabinet with regard to
the room for which it was intended.
The cabinet was to be ready in a week.
The carpenter was to supply all the mate-
rial and the price for the whole was to
be $100.
“That’s not bad, is it?” said the cheery
little workwoman, after she had bowed
her customer out with a grace not al-
ways found in carpenters. “A hundred
dollars for one week’s work. Yes,” she
went on, “I think, on the whole, I may
say that carpentering is a good profes-
sion for women. And there is this about
it, that a woman may follow her profes-
sion in her own home.”
A stalwart young man came striding
across the grass plot from the rear of
the little white house. Mrs. Leyton in-
troduced him as her husband.
“Please tell The Journal readers that
a woman may be a carpenter or any-
thing else without being the less woman-
ly or caring less for her husband or her
.baby.”—New York Journal.
