ACARELEss telegraphe caused panic
i'm Il domestic circle in New York City
one evening last week. A young woman
telegrlphed from Philadelphia to her
mother in this wise: "Havc received
no letter. Am Worried The message
received by her mother was this: 90 Have
received no letter. Am married." The
mother was surprised at this sudden an
nounccment, and she gave the daughter
Il large piece of her mind. The operator
had mistaken ssworried for "mar-
ricd," no doubt thinking the meaning
was the same, and had wired the mother
the surprising intelligence.

ENGLISH women are the wisest and
most sensible of their sex in the matter
of dress. They have distinctive cos
TUNES for different occasions, and for
out-of-door wear adopt the plainest and
most durable of articles. They have Sc
cured something like indestructibility in
the hats they wear for travelling. They
are made of serge without any wire or
net lining, the shape being given by run
ming an elastic around the crown and
thick piping cords in the shirring of the
brim. A hat made in this fashion can
not he made to look any worse by any
fury of wind or weather than it does
when new.
DIR. SUTOR and DIR. Stout were rivals
in the practice of medicine ut Zanes
vile, Ohio, and rivals in another re-
spect, for both loved Sutor's wife.
Stout won in the latter contest, and the
woman deserted her husband to live
with him. Sutor told his trouble TO the
editor of the GAINESVILLE Times, and re-
quested its publication; but the editor
said he would not print it until some
thing happened to make it properly
public subject. "Very WELL" SutOr re-
piled, "therc comes my wife up the
street, and probably-yes, there's DIR.
Stout with her, and he ran out,
knocked Stout down with his cane, and
got Il bullet in his hand. There was no
longer doubt as to the question of pub
fishing the facts.
1.-THE earth inhabited by men," says
the Singhalcse version of the "System
of the Universe "with the various
continents connected with it, is subject
alternately to destruction and removal
ton in series of revolutions to which
no beginning, no end can be discovered.
Thus it was; thus it will be ever. There
are three modes of destruction. The
world is destroyed seven times by fire,
and the eighth time by water. Every
thirty-fourth destruction is by wind"
