ON A GATE ?OiT,
The trolley oar and the bicycle are credited with being mainly responsi¬ ble for the remarkable fact, stated in the Department of Agricultiiro re¬ ports, that the tuIuo of horees and males in this conntry decreased by al¬ most one-half between 1892 and the \ dreary, dreary iiUce it i« and of last year. The aggregate de¬ cline in the ralne of horses is pnt down at $500,000,000 and of mnles $80,- 000,000. The stories that have como from Western ranges lately seem to bear ont the flgnres in general.
Tbe lightning performs some cari¬ ous freaks, but tbo other day it took it into ita head to befriend a woman ont West. This woman had straight hair,  relates the Mew Vork Herald,

Althouifh I did not ask permission, yet I do nut fiisl that I violattf liis coiilltlcnce by giring, us nearly as I can remember, the contents oi thu paper which ho treasureii wilh Hiiob nlTectianB :
Tbe pro.^pt'ct was uot clieerlul.l was ridiug a. horse acrona a country whoso loneliness was as deep as a sigh whicb bespeaks the long ab.senco of some ono. Night wns corning on and a storm was Ratherinft it.s furcua. A frightened otvl flitted ptst me, Bcreaoiiug iu my face. The timo of year was nheu na¬ ture hesitates whether tn continue winter or begin spring. My horse ol- most shook me off when ho stopped and shiTcred. Tho owl screamed in my face again. Deal leaves, for a mo¬ ment would whiHei beforo me, nud theu fall, scattered and torn as though they ha.l, li,v iiu augry hand, been swept from their lous, damp rest, only to bo mocked.

L'rging my burse forward, I soon reached a Bmiill boii:i(',uear tbe surauiit I of a diiHolato peok, overlooking tho Arkansaw Kirer. Ifdismountod near the door—thero was no fence around I the bouse.    My horse looked   apj.eal-

When she recorored oonsoionsness she found that her hair was friuled as nicely as thongh it had been done witb tho curling tongs. Wall, a more grateful creature you nerei saw. She belicTes in eleotrioity with all ber heart, and is glad that she waa ttraok by lightning.
How itrange it i% miisea James Fayn in tba New York Independent, tbat Africa, tbe leaat populated, and on the whole the least interesting of the four quarters ot tba globe, should always ba written abont at greater length than any ot tba others. From the daya of Liringatone down to that ot Blatin Paaha aeoounta of this region have always been published in exlon- ao. When yon hare read ono chapter about the Boudan you have read al- moat all; one chief is the fao simile of anotbet; one tribe, one army stand tor all; one rule of cruelty and blood¬ shed ettends from end to ond of the great barren tract. The piotnres of hideous men and still moro bideons women tbat illustrate works on African traTel do not enhanoa their attractions. It th* writers would condense a little I teal sure thay wonld have much more ot the public's attention.
In a paper in the Forum on "The Future ot th* South," A. a Van de Qraat says: "Tha Sooth is large: it yet remains thinly peopled and proc- lieally undcToloped. Great as has tiaen the industrial sdTanco made, considerable aa appears the present immigration moTement, they bat faintly foreshadow the doTelopment now at hand. If so mnob bos been done in the last thirty years under sneh disadrantages and practically unaided by immigation, what may we not expect when that rich tide whieh has ercated the Empire States of the Nortbaest is turned in eren greater Tolume sonthward t Only the matrel- ous growth ol tlio great West itself oan guide the imagination in attempt¬ ing the forecast, and evoa that must be surpasaed. To the South anques- tionably belongs the fiitnre. In such an expansion of its popalaliou anl wealth aa even a single generation ban witnessed in tbo West, ita race problem must ranish eren thoa:^h the emigra¬ tion of the colored people shonl.t eeate ; sectional liuea mast be blotte 1 out and Sooth and North merged in Iba in()iTiiiibIe I'nioD. which is i.lentity of irtorvst and conditions, as well au of blood, ol language and of hintory.

"Where are vou g.iiu^', little girl'?" I asked when 1 telumed, still tinding her on tho gr .to.

"Yiour prandfathcr must have been good to yoa?"
"Yes, but he made me read many books that wero very dull—great law books. I don't like tbem. His eyes for many years have been so bad that I hod to do all his reading for him. Hs wrote a book full of awfnl curious things and murders, but one dny when he found me reading it hetookitaway from me and burned it up. It must bavo been bad, and be must have been sorry that lie wrote it."
Tbe day passe.l ratbcr pleasantly, with tho exception of the induenoe of tbo night before, which naturally enough she oould not dispel and which I could not keep from arising ixjca- sionally. We sat on a log and ate dinner, and Munette's remarks gave me additional insight into her close habit of observation. Whon evening camo we stopped at a farm boose, whero tho sad story of the little girl awoke snob sympothy that the kind- hearted hunso wifo begged me to al¬ low the child tu remain with her.
"It ia a question that aho must de¬ cide," I rejoined. " iVhat do you say, Miiiiotte?"
"I am Burprisnil thot you should ask mc such a question," she replied, ap¬ proaching the chair where I eat and taking my baud. "Would it not be uugrateful in me to desert you so soon, or to over desert you?"
".She's got more sense   than  on old Oman rigbt now," aaid tbe host,  ad- resting his Wife.   "Our twenty-elgbt- yearuld   dau'^bter  that   married  last mnntli ain't a patcbin' to thia girl."
"W'y, .Jcspcrson," said hia wife, in mild censure, ".Margaret aiu'ttwonty- oight years old."
"She's mighty nigh it." ".\u'   beside   tbat,"   continued the woman, "sbo never bad no chance."
"Didn't go to school three months outen nearlv every year, eb? What hIii.w .loes 0 gal want, I'.l like to know? Tbis littlo creetur, I warrant you, never has been to school."
"Oy, yes, sir. My whole life has licea a scbofd. Tho old houao whero I uso.l to live contains many books. If you want thom you may go there and got tbem. I sliall never go aftor tbem. I could never read thom again."
"Well, blame m.y buttons if I don't mosy up thnt way. I oin't much of o Bobolnr, but I reckon I can worry through with a lot of thom."
My niolber welcomed Mun(?ttc, nn.l when' I related tbo sod story of bow I founil lier the sympathetic woman took tbe child in her arms and kissed ber. A few daya nfterwar.l, when I returned home after a short abaence, she flashed up.m me iu a gay red dre:ia. Khe was in.iru (.f a child than I had ever seen her—moro no than I had thought it possible for her to become. My mother was ileligbtecl to see her innocent pranks, and I, for tho first time, kissed tho child.
"Yuu have kissed mo at last," she said. "Is it because I look bettor in tbiH dress?"
"It is becnuso you look moro liko n cliild. Before you rominded mo so much .of 0 woman."
"l^o not women liko to bo kissed?"
I laughed and my mother, shaking her head—I can nee her gray hair now —aniJ: ".\h, Ambrose, our young girl has a very old bead."
We aent Munette to achool. Tbo teacher, a man wbo bad tho reputa¬ tion ol boiug profound, met me one day and eaid :
".Munctto ii3 the most romarkable child I ever saw. She has read so many liookn and makes mo such wise obscrvati.ius that I am constantly snr- prise.I. To tell you tho truth, I can¬ not advance bor. Not tbat I am not intellectually able—but—or—because I do uot thiuk st her age it would be safe. Therefore I would adviso you to tikkq her from school. I know tho effect that too much learning has on youtb. I know how narrowly I ea- cape.l."
When I spoke to Mnnetto aho said : "Tliat Hcbool is a.very dull place. It is n coustant hum of arithmetic, l .lou't like to cipher, as the children rail it. Fractions mako my head acbo nn.l miscellaneous examples make mo sick.     Ijet   me study at bomo."
I took her from school. She was a ilcv.ite.l slu.lout, but was never bo ab- si.rb.'.i tbat abe was oblivious to tbe little attentions which a woman of uiy luotbor'nago prizes so highly. Munette grew rapiilly an.l 1 was pleased to SCO that sbo was daily becoming more graceful.
did you treat me so?" I ono day afkcd her.
"The dominioker has n great denl of trouble with her chickens," (.ho re¬ plied. Shortly aftcrw«rd, when she thong'ht that I was not looking, she throw back her head and laaghed.
Tbo war came on. How natural it is iu writing a story, to say, "The war camo on;" but thia ia not a ftory, and nothing cau bo moru natural than truth—although it in said to be ^lranger thai! fiction. Therefore, when 1 pay thnt tbn war came on, I intend that tbe declaration should have its full uieaning. I left homo full of prido. I wan captain. My mother praye.1 ; but Munette did not seem to l.e very much affected. "Oood byo," she ...ai.l. "War in one of tbe inoi.lentn of civilization, aa well as a feature of liorbarity. I know that you will do your tluiy, and that you will not for¬ get tbe littlo girl whom you once i.aw n.ilil.10,-7 uu.ler tbe han.l of a .lying miiu. Wlieu y..u reiurii, I nhall lie old enough to kiss you."
I looked at her in astonishment. Merriment sparkled in her eyes. "You .luu't like to kiss children,  it seems."
"Muuelte, you are strange. I onco snid that 1 .11.1 uot kisj you beca'jse vim lookc.l like a noman."
"Ob, yea, that is truo. I thought Ibat you .li.l not want to kiss me be- cuii-e 1 wan nrf 'small. There, now, cnptiiiu .lou't awell np like a toad."
1 tiirucil away. She calle.l me when I was al.oiit a biinlrel yar.ls away au.l Hni.l: "tVbeu y JU pass tbe big gate, look on th^ rig'it han.l post."

It is sai.l that tho ono woman of whom Queen Victoria atau.la in re¬ spectful owe ia Mrs. Musscns, tho housekeeper of Balmoral castle. Sho has held her position of power for many yeara, and rules everybody who comes witbin her domain witb a rod of iron, even to thu Queen herself. Her Majesty ou oue occasion took a fancy to a certain housemaid nnd re¬ quested that the care of hor own apartmenta should he given to the girl. Mm. Mnssens, howover, tbonght diflerently, and informod Her Majesty that such o mark of preferenco woul.l only turn tho young woman's head nnd utterly spoil her. The Queen of (Ireut liritnin nnl Ireland, on.l Em¬ press of India, listened in silcnco nn.l meekly acquiesced in her housekcep- er'a decision.

Every woman should keep in mind tie nualogy between tbe dreas and tho perfume; they should bo harmoiiioiin. For instance, tho only permissible matter for on American woman to per¬ fume her wordrobe is through the uao of sachets, light flnlly droases suggest Borto Bubtle scent, like that cf oppio blossoms, heavy material being sus¬ ceptible to a more clinging fragiancc. Linen suggests lavender and rose.
Tho sachets ore now being made in nil sizes and shapes, to bo used in veil oases, bonnet boxes, wardrobes, and tbey aro oven tacked into their tiuy slippers. If your evening bonnet is of roses nne rose saobel ; if of violet, eo bo the odor violet; if of carnation tbo latter apicy fragrance ia in keep¬ ing. Mauy persons wbo nre authority ou tho Hulijeot maintain tbat aan.lal- wood is tbo proper and correct sachet for cloth dresses and furs.
