The PeOple Who Drift,

There are in every large city q class
of drifting people. to whom n definite
ami permanent abiding place would be
in the nature of II prison; people who
would be embarrassed by being taiu-
lated with that announcement of re-
spectability. an engraved dOor-platc,
or by being embalmcd in the city di-
rectOry.
They are the rolling-stones of society
who gather up considerable social moss
in their course and live tho life of YER
saiility, of color, of light, and if it is
not the life of phenomenal depth it
may. mt any rate, serve tn balance the
classical recluses who live secure and
stationary. and intlict philosophical
critiques on the public.
Ii il mostly the feminine portions Of
the good Boiemians who thus slip in
and out Of successive environments"
A man will vegetate forever in the same
suit of apartments. if he has once been
pleased with them, purely from inertia,
which is why the landlady OF the period
quite prefers the superior racc-'Sin-
Clio gentlemen preferred" always
Now, after II woman has gone on doing
the same thing long on ugh she begins
to look about her to do something else.
Chance is the very breath OF her OK
isience. Routine is to her intOlerable.
II is not that she in the least expects To
improve matters, but she prefers varied
to monotonons misery. And little in
f~elicities in time aggregate themselves
Ia the yer 20 OF the uncomfortable.
Nor is there much science in u settle
mcnt of these "itimerant people. They
do not take root anywhere, and are
ready to slip out and arrange their
books and bric-a-brac i'm some other
apartment any day. The drifting
thrOngs Of people who thus migrate
about the city arc a curious study in
modern life.

Rights of Prisoners to Mail.

Mr.. j. ii. Hyde, postmaster Mt Lew
istOwn, Fulton county, ILL.,. wrote q lot
ter to the postmaster general, asking
for instructions in reference to the
delivery of letters to Thomas Aisbury,
committed to Jail for assault with in
tent to commit murder. Tho sheriff
demanded that Aisbury's letters be de-
liyered TO him, and Aisbury wrote q
letter to the postmaster demanding
that his mail be delivered to no one
that did not bring u written order
from him (the prisOner). The decision
of the postmaster general is Us follows:
Letters addressed to a convict serv-
ing q torn Of imprisonment should be
delivered to tho warden or other Of
iicer in charge of the prisoners. Let
ters addressed to a person imprisoned
TO await trial upon an indictment, or
pending Indictment. should be deliv-
cred according to the order of the per-
son addressed. ut any time before con
victi0n and sentence. II such a person
is released on bail no question would
| arise, as the law presumes every per-
son innocent until convicted by u jury,
and inability to give bail ought not to
deprive "a man Of the correspondence
| addressed To him through the mail.
Until sentence, therefore. letters must
be subject to the order Of the person
imprisoned, unless upon judicial pro-
ccedings authorizing seizure of the let
tiers in accordance with the decision of
the supreme court of the United States"

The ENGLISH Style of Girl,

A Western paper thinks there are
fashions in girls rs well rs in clothes.
IL says: There are thirty thOusan |
unmarried women In Massachusetts.
WV are these women unmarried? IL
is because they are Of n pattern which
has of late years gone out of fashion.
A couple # years ago there was intro
,lmccd tho plump English style Of Girl.
The latter became enormously popular,
and the bony and specialized mnidens
of Massachusetts became a drug in the
market. IL was still generally conced-
ed that the Massachusetts girl knew
more about Emerson's philosophy and
Alcott's Orphic %utterances than did her
plumpcr rival. but the merits OF the
former were no longer able to awaken
amy e~nti,usias. n. The Boston pOetical
young man no longer wrote sonnets
expressing the emotions Of his heart on
hearing the bones of his beloved rattle
rs she ran tn meet him at the gate, and
the Boston youth of fashion no longer
proposed ut public dinners the once
familiar toast, Beauty and Bones IN
honor Of the spare sex. In fact. spare
and angular girls wcn entirely on oil
fashion. and Massachusetts men went
outside of the boundaries OF New Eng
land when they sought for wives"

Beauty and the Beast,

There are tales that are old. yet will
ever be new, as long us we have ever-
succeeding generations of children to
whom granny's ''once upon q time'' is
alluring, and these are fairy tales.
Very few of them are original, coming
most of them from very old traditions.
and some of them being folklore tales.
Almost all the familiar stories Of u
childhood are found in varied versions.
each nation claiming its own. The
tale of Beauty and the Beast" is one
example of this. OF this We must seek
the germ far away in the fifteenth cent
ury among the poet minds of Italy; in
the earliest version the hero is born a
young prince, but by the malevOlent
fairies who assembled upon tho Occa-
sion, he was transformed into a pig;
in this early story, IS in the one famil-
lar to us. he was fortunate enough To
win the love of noble maiden, whose
affection broke the spell, and he lived
happy even after. Two centuries later
the same legend appears in French lit
crature under the name of ''Prince
Marcassin," the original plot being
carried out with slight notifications
and additions. 1t was still later before
the present form and the title of the
''Beauty and the Beast" (la Belle ct In
Bete) were given; these first occur in
the old book called 'COntes Marcus"

hold there, went to Calcutta TO learn
photography. On their return the
sable queen insisted at once having q
proof Of their skill and q sitting was
accordingly arranged for. All went
we'll, and the artists flattered themselves
that they had produced a portrait
which would be sure to please. Great
was their astOnishment, therefore,
when the august sister flew into u viO-
lent passion and threatened them with
execution. What was wrong? Mere
ly that one among the multitudinOus
poOdles in whose companiOnship the
queen delights, had come into the
room while the process was taking
place, and, of course, it was photo
graphed simultaneously with its mis-
tress. Could anything be more intOl-
erablep The likeness of a dog In the
same picture with that Of the queen of
Burmah! Rough hands at nce laid
hold of the two artists, and when last
heard of they were still in durance vile,
pending the decision of the question
rs TO whether such u fragrant insult TO
royalty could be expiated by any light
or punishment than decapitatiOn. We
trust mercy prevailed and the delin-
auents were allowed TO take their de-
parture without abbrcviatiOn. The in
cident shows, however, that portrait
taking is still q dangerous vocation in

A Durable Whitewash.

A correspondent of the Scientific
american gives the following direc-
tons for a good whitewash: For one
barrel of color wash Half q bushcl
white lime, three pecks hydraulic ce-
ment. ten pounds lumber, ten pounds
ochre, n pound Venetian red. quar-
ter pound lampblack. Stake the lime;
cut the lampblack with vinegar; mix
we'll together; add the cement and fill
the barrel with water. Let it stand
twelve hours before using. and stir fire.
quently while putting it on. This is
not white. but Of a light stone color.
without the unpleasant glare of white.
The color may be changed by adding
more or less of the cOlOrs named, or
other cOlOrs. This wash covers well,
needing only One coat, and is superior
to anything known. excepting oil paint.
l have known q rough board barn
washed with this to look we'll for five
years, and even longer, without renew
ing. The cement hardens, but on a
rough surface will not scale.
