Oh! Where Did She Get the Stock
ingS2

The prettiest and daintiest of jap
anese bellies now In Europe was re-
Gently discovered in partial deshabille
by some lady visitors, who were
captivated by the effect OF the neat
and closely fitting ,abi upon her
tiny feet, and pronounced them,
after leaving, just too awfully nice
for anything, while the contrast be-
tween the snowy whiteness OF the
linen sandals and the peculiar, deli
cate tint of her stockings beneath
was perfectly splendid! They easily
procured the tabi, but they searched
the city in vain for matches to the
lovely hose. The new color was
evidently rare Oriental dye, which
had not reached the marts of Eu-
rope. In their disappointment sore
they went to the Japanese lady and
explained to her that they had set
their hearts on producing in their
morning negligees the same combI-
nation that they had noticed on her
feet and ankles. Would she be so
kind as to lend them one of her
stockings to enable manufacturers
to attempt an imitation? And then
the little lady smiled and gracefully
whipped aside her "wwagi, nakag
skitagi," disclosing that the admired
stockings were not the mysterious
products of some jealous guarded
Eastern loom, but the dusky, una
dorned tegument which nature ha(
provided her.-Tokio (Japan) Times

The Last of the Glastonbury Sisters.

The fame of the Smith sisters has
extended almost throughout the
-" wide world" Abby died last year,
and since that sad event Julia E. has
been lonely, and on Wednesday was
married by the Rev. DIR. W. W. Scud-
der to Mr.. Amos G.. Parker, of New
Hampshire. The parties were drawn
together by their literary atfinities,
and this has eliminated in one of the
happiest unions known to those who
in old age become one, and walk
during the rest Of the pilgrimage in
the affections of true love and SYM
patty. 1t is difficult, however, to
see how one who has lived for eighty
six years as Miss Julia Smith, and
whose fame and renown are so we'll
established, can dissolve her identity
into that of Mrs. Julia +. Parker.
Mr.. Parker is man of fine personal
appearance, and though advanced to
the ripe age Of his wife, still he looks
as if he might live to enjoy many
years to come.
The laws establishing the relations
property-wise between man and wife
in this State have for some years
been undergoing successive changes.
The present status is certainly the
opportunity for Miss Smith, who, AS
it happens, not only secures hus-
band, but at last fulfills in peace the
ambition that has so often sacrificed
her Attorneys in the past. As we
understand the last change in the
married woman law the wife owns
her own property absolutely, has the
use and control of it. and cannot
transfer its management directly to
her husband even if she wishes, but
still, by virtue of His being her hus-
band, he is required to pay taxes on
it as if il were his. Assuming that
this is correct, the lady Is now re.
moved from the burden of taxi
ing, but remains as ever mistress Of
the cows and farm.-Hartfort
COurant.

p. T.. FISK, one of the pro-
prietors Of the Eureka Leader, who
distinguished himself in the last AS
sembly by his uncompromising
hostility to the extortion practiced
by the railways in this State, is be.
ing made to feel the power of the
monopolists. He occupied ]ucra-
tive position in a grain house in Eu-
reka, but the managers Of the Eu-
reka e. Palisade Railroad Company
procured his discharge by threat
ening, if he were retained, to start
a rival establishment. And this not
by intination, but in so many words,
and in the plainest language posi-
BILE. They intimate, further, that
they will drive him out of Eureka.
These railroad people must be get
ting crazy, or they are very sure of
their hold on the people. (And
really, on second thought, they are
probably right in that respect. 1t
does not matter much what the
people want done, nor how solemn
ly they pledge their servants to do
it; the railroad companies invaria-
bly, control them in some mysteri-
Gus way.) But they go too far
when they initiate prosecutions
against those Legislators who full
filled their pledges to the people;
and we firmly believe that the ac-
tion of the Eureka & Palisade
Railroad Company in Mr.. Fisk's
case will be used with telling effect
DUNG the next campaign. Mr..
Fisk can depend upon the hearty
good will of every man in the State
whose opinion is worth having.

they are better men as a rule than

who are naturally corrupt will refuse
the most tempting brides when the
integrity of their party Is involved.

WEDNESDAY the people

M EXT WEDNESDAY the people
of California will vote for the adop-
ton or rejection of the proposed new
Constitution. If the Constitution is
adopted, money will become tighter
and business be paralyzed for a few
months. if the Constitution is reject
ed confidence in the future of the
Coast will be restored and times will
become better for all classes of the
community. We believe that the
vote will be against the adoption of
the Constitution, and that all will
therefore be we'll; but even should
the document become the funda-
mental law of our neighboring
State, it is not likely that any lasting
injury will result. The Coast is still
too young and vigorous to be perma-
nently injured by any measure of
this nature.

stance comes up before. the United

Butler county lawyer. Timblin by
name, had his life insured for $4,000
in . Connecticut company when he
went to Deadwood, and there he had
. controversy about land claim with
q man named Baronet, who resorted
to the mode of settlement usual in
Dakota, and killed Timblin. Aud
now the company refuses to pay the
insurance, on tho ground that limb
lin violated the conditions of the
policy in "going into an unciyilized
country" without permission, If thu
insurance companies would agre'
upon comprehensive form of policy
setting forth that tho unauthorized
death of the insured, from any cause
will invalidate the contract, it woult
simplify matters greatly and enabl'
the policy holders to know just wha
they have to expect.

The Burlington Hawkeye puts
down among the things which every
man can do better than anybody else
can, the following: Poke fire, put on
his own hat, edit newspaper, tell a
story-after the other man begins it,
and examine railway timetable.
Did you ever notice, says the Bur-

road guide-book and begin to look

up and lay his great thumb right

headed Accommodation" on the Hi
nois Central side of the page? And
YOU can't bluff him off, either. A
few days ago a quiet looking man on
the Wabash Railway called the train
boy and asked him for a railway
guide for moment. Then he began
to examine the columns, and a busy
looking man behind leaned over the
seat and said:
"What train are you looking for :
Where do you want to go z | can
find it for you if you are not accus-
toned to this sort of thing"
The stranger thanked him, and said
he was looking up some of the con-
nections of the Wabash Railway,
and he guessed he could find what he
wanted.
The busy man Immediately took
hold of the guide and pulled 1t
away from him.
you'll never find it looking that
way" he said; snow tell me where
you want to go; / know nearly all
the connections of this road; | travel
over this line twice every sixty days"
After vain effort TO get his guide

yielded, and the busy man looked
down the column of ticket-tares y
and ascertained that the strangers
train reached Danville at 81 rs, and
then he looked down the column OF
distances and discovered that the
connecting train for Vincennes left
at 6.594. Then he handed the guide
book back to the stranger, and leaned
back in his seat with the air of a
mana Christian, unseltish man
who had, at some trouble to himself,
of course, set "a bewildered wayfarer
right. The stranger thanked him
quietly and with every appearance OF
profound gratitude.
"Oh!" the man said loftily, "that's
all right; these railway guides are
all Greek to people not accustomed
to railroading.'
By-and-by the stranger went into
the other coach, and the busy man
noticing the respectful demeanor of
the brakeman rs he passed out,
called to the employe and asked:
"Who is that man r.

man, "the general passenger and
