Julia Ward Howe.
Julia Ward Howe is a woman of re-
markable energy. She lias been
known to attend to her household
affairs, take a two mile walk, two
hours of German metaphysics and re-
ceive half a dozen callers—and all be-
fore noon—and then write a
the afternoon, and listen all the eve-
ning to a dozen -philanthropists,
who revolve round her very much as
mice revolve alK>ut a cheese.
Mtb Howe is a slow writer, she
was ten years in writing "Later
Lyrics" and often two days in correct-
ing a single word or line of some one
of its poems. From her contributions
to the periodical press she has not
realized a fortune. For the "Battle
Hymn" she was paid $.r> by the Atlan-
tic; for "Our Orders," *10 by the same
journal.
But Mrs. Howe is more than a poet;
she is a thinker and a scholar. She
reads half a dozen languages is fam-
iliar with Hegel. Compte, (ioethe,
Dante, Swedenborg and all the great
masters of song, faith and meta-
physics. She has also mingled with
cultivated society aud traveled exten-
sively both in til is and the old world.
Hut she is not an "artificial" lady.

Have you ever noticed the way a

haven't? Well, then, perhaps at some
period a cow with a musket has loomed
np before your visual horizon, in which
ease you can form some complimentary
comparisons in favor of the cow, for a
man and a parasol is the most awk-
ward combination known to fame, and
in one instance, at least, came near
causing the destruction of that filmy
fabric entitled "love's young dream."
They were out for a st.'oll on the
board walk, lie a strong youth in
brave attire, she a trusting summer
girl. They had been engaged one
short hour. "Darling," said he, "let
mo shade you from the kisses of the
amorous sun god. 1 am jealous of the
liberties he takes with lips that shall
be caressed in future by none save my
own." "Sweetheart," she murmured
as she nestled closer to him, and to-
gether they started under the blue
canopy, l.y courtesy called her parasol.
"Dearest," she pleaded a moment
later, "please hold it a little higher;
you are scraping my hat" A few sec-
onds elapsed, when a pathetic voiue
could be heard exclaiming: "You
haven't it where the sun is at all. The
sun is streaming in my face and you
are holding it over my back."
Scene third. "Algernon, if you
would only keep up with me instead
of laggiug behind you might be able,
to walk t^ree steps without pulling
mv hair down."
Scene fourth: "Mr. Smith, are you
aware that you came near putting my
eye out by your careless handling of
my parasol?' After an interval of
prolonged silence during which the
girl with martyr-like meekness bears
the unpleasant process of having her
hat pushed down almost over her
eyes, the final straw is added to her
burden when her escort manages by
some masculine hokus pokus to get
inextricably tangled in some lace fal
lal she wears, and with a glance of
withering scorn turns upon her tor-
mentor: "Here, give me that para-
sol, you awkward brute, and here's
your old ring. I never want to see
you again as long as I live," and she
sails off like a young fury, while he
disconsolately regards a scrap of lace
and sundry hair pins that mark the
spot of the final scrimmage. Of
course, they make up, but he is too
wise ever to offer again to carry her
parasol save when it is closed. Know-
ing man, if more were like him much
trouble would be avoided.—Philadel-

A Woll-I.ald scheme.
A story is told of a well-known lit-
erary man and his wife which would
seem to indicate that not all of the
artifice and scheming should be put
down to woman.
The couple referred to decided to re-
pa,«er a certain room in their suburban
ilo'me. Although apparently simple
enough this undertaking proved to be
a difficult one, as not only was the in-
dividual and diametrically different
taste of each of the two to be
consulted, but the paper that was
already upon the walls of all adjoining
room had to be taken into consider-
ation as well. Again and again did
the paper hanger, who tells the story
in the Sow York Times, come out
with his big rolls of samples to the
suburbau house only to return witli
the matter undecided, as the wife was
sure to dislike what the husband
liked, and vice versa.
At length the husband had a private
interview with the paper hanger and
suggested that the gordion knot be
cut in this wise:

that you showed us. which suited me.

York Not • Tall aa Hia Wife.
Tlic smallness of hiB stature is al-
most as sore a point with the duke of
York as the same shortcoming-
is with his father. Both the princess
of Wales and Princess May are a good
deal taller than their spouses, and
that is the reason why the prince of
Wales has such a marked aversion to
being photographed standing by tne
side of the princess. If you look at
almost any photograph of their royal
highnesses you will see that either the
princess is sitting in a chair with the
prince standing behind her, or if she
be standing up, the prince is mounted
on some steps in the background.
