Not long since says the the Spring

Der of the lower branch of the Legis-
lature requested a fellow member to
wake him when a certain bill in the
interests of lumbermen came up. This
agreed upon, the sleepy member was
soon in the happy land of dreams. 1t
so happened that certain bill upon
theft and perjury came up that day.
So when the latter bill was fairly un-
der way the sleepy member was arous-
ed. He rubbing his eyes, arose and
addressed the Speaker: "Mr. Speaker,
| wish to say few words upon this bill,
for the fact is the most of the people
up our way make their living by this
trade" 1t is needless to add that his

masked ball, and finding his amorous
advances encouraged rather than re-

Here is a new phase of theatrical
delight. Every evening the New York
Grand Opera House is perfumed by an
ingeniously contrived fountain placed
in the vestibule, which throws q stream
of cologne to the height of four feet
and then breaks into beautiful spray.
Every ten minutes perfume is changed.
Between the acts hundreds of visitors
flock to the fountain to dip their hand
kerchiefs in the basin. The odor which
penetrates the auditorium is said to be
exquisite.
If there is any place in this world
where persons character can be rough

have concluded that well organized
and healthy sewing circle can blast
persons reputation in just seven min,
