They are very tenacious about this fashion, but
you must be a. tenacious against it; the number
Of accidents IN consequence il great. To show
you how very tenacious ladies are on this point

OF our London hotels She wished to consult me
about her foot. ON seeing it 1 thought its state

The boots were brought in by the lady's maid
but the only thing could observe about them
were immensely nigh heels. / said: " Ii is the
high heel OF your boots that causes the mischief,
and unless you diminish this can do nothing
Tor you She became quite angry, and said she
could not alter them. - l cannot do il and will

= Pray. sir, what would people say if they saw
me walking about the park without high heels?'

SAYS: There is a rumor in the air that President

securing the necessary legislation for the con-
structiOn of airline railroad across the state.
We are inclined to doubt the accuracy Of these
reports. In the first place Mr.. Garrett has
about as many irons in the fire already as he can
well manage: and in the next place, the pros
pect of success in New Jersey OF any venture of
the kind indicated is not sufficiently encour-
aging to warrant any serious effort in its prose-
cutiOn.

FRENCH HATRED OF THE GERMANs-The
census lately ordered by the authorities in Lor-
raine gave the French inhabitants a fresh op-
Iortunity of showing their luminosity toward
the German government. Only two persons i'm
the Whole province volunteered to act as census
clerks, and the people seemed to be under the
impression that the inscription of their names
on the census list signfied that they were regis
tered as Prussians and would be compelled to
accept the LutheranreligiOn ''and become Free
MasOns." One of the agents, on coming to
peasant with his list was received with the fol-
lowing words: 81 What do you want of
me" Are we not already Prussians and is
1t necessary that this should appear on paper?
j won't answer any of your questions"
"A second pea-Ain exclaimed: Are you not
ashamed of yourself, a. a Frenchman, to 90
about with Prussian list in order TO give us up
To Prussia" And third, on being asked the
place of his birth, said he was born at Grave
lOtte, ''where the Prussians were well thrashed -
The census clerk next went to a devout woman
of the village. ON seeing him, she rose from
her chair in great excitement, saying, .fWhat
do you want? Is ii true, then, that they wish to
rob us of our faith and sell us to the Freema-
sons? For Gods sake, don't put my name on
that paper" No, mother" added her daugh-
ter. "yOu will not give your name. They want
to betray us; We will not become Lutherans or
