Would Have His Fling.

Down at Gloucester, many years ago, a
certain well-known character" about
town became, for some trivial reason,
incensed against very estimahle and
harmless citizen, who had the unisfort-
une to be an invalid, and vented his
wrath in no measured terms. he was
reasoned with for such an uncalled-for
outbreak of epithets, and closely ques-
toned as to the good qualities Of the
man he was abusing, all of which he
was compelled reluctantly to admit. At
last, fairly cornered, and out Of all
patience, he wound up with: 3Well,
1t dontmake any difference; he's 49,

that toilet, but it don't pay me. I'm a

gives me a fine dress rehearsal every
evening. 1t costs $1.50 to see these
fimsy, sham dresses at the theater in
the wishy- washy. society plays, and
here can see 500 perfect toilets In
day for nothing"
"But don't you really bring only foul
toilets to Saratoga" asked the young
lady.
"No, four are enough-not counting
black silk"
"How do you manage it?"
"Well, listen and I will show yon
how can wear nine distinct toilets and
really have but three. First, l have
one cream-white parssol and fan.
These, by changing the bow on the
parasoI, and the ribbon on the fan, GO
with any toilet. Secondly, I have three
dresses-a white pique, pink French
bunting, and blue lawn. Then have
three sets of ribbons-that is whole
set, consisting Of a parasol bow, sash
ribbon, fan ribbon, slipper bow, and
hair bow. Then have a pink set OF
ribbons and blue set. My pink and
blue are light, SO that can wear my
three dresses with ribbons to match or
can cross them. That is, I can put a
pink sash on a light-blue dress, or a
Gght-blue sash on ight-pink dress.
Thus, you see, that with three dresses
and three sets of ribbons I can make
nine distinct toilets. MY rich and
ugly friend brings thirty distinct toilets
to Saratoga. She brings trunk full of
parasols and hat for every dress.
| Thirty trunks I'LL her room and line the
hall, while I live in two trunks. Her
toilet for the season cost $4,000, while

personal.
We cannot conceive woman as dis
tinct, distant, unrelated; she seems SO
personal, concrete, SO near; yet we can
never quite come up to her discern
ments, nor gainsay their dehcacy and
truthfulness. The very name of woman
becomes soiled If we seek to be related
to her by the coarse ties of appetite in
stead of the charm of ideas. Endowed
with magnetic gifts, by necessity of sex
a realist and diviner, she lives nearest
the cardinal facts of existence, instinct
with the mysteries OF love and fate:
romance ever attaching itself to her
name and destiny-A. B. AIcott.
FANcRUL.
Women are such strange creatures
Is there any trick that love and their
own fancies do not play them? Just
see how they marry! A woman that
gets hold Of a bit of manhood is like
one of those Chinese wood-carvers who
work on any odd, fantastic root that
comes to hand. I should like to See
any kind of man, distinguishahle from
a gorilla, that some good and even pref
ty woman could not shape a husband
out of.-O. ~ Holmes.
POWERFUL.
When the people talk of women's
claims and women's rights think OF
the tournaments of former days. If the
ladies had descended into the arena, the
most Of them would have made but
sorry knights, whereas, remaining in
the gallery, it was they who gave the
prizes, and it was to win the need OF
praise from them that each knight did
luis best. There is something of the
same kind even in the most unchival-
rous ages.-Artbatr Helps.

ures who have ever mingled in human
affairs. understand those who say
they don't want the ballot. They want
the power without the responsibility;
SO while we are being amused with the
ballot, woman is quietly taking things
into her own hands.-C. d. Farmer.

Love In woman is no trifing emotion
On its joyous side it seeks affinity with
every phase of nature that is gladstone

the destiny and character of woman,

not more solemn.-HeaTy Giles.
DELIGHTFUL.
One of the finest compliments even
paid to woman was that of Steele, when
he said to Lady Hastings, "that to have
loved her was a liberal education"
Viewed in this light, woman is an ed.
ucator in the highest sense, because
she educates humanelv and lovingly.

The material interests of this coun-

made arbitrary by the situstion Of the
Government. That is to say, the mau
who had any surplus money, had the
advantage of investing it in six and

bonds whenever private individuals
did not tempt it by paying larger in
serest. This alternative no longer ex
lists, for Government, bonds teneeforth
pay only four per centum, and all the
bonds are taken. In fact those who,
10 future would put their money in
Government bonds must pay 4 premis
nm to get to DO so, which will cut the
interest down to less than four-say
three per cent. So we see that mon
oied men will have to choose between

per cent, and other investments such
