THE SEVEN ACES OF WOMAN.

London Punch
All the worlds wardrobe
And all the girls and women merely weares;
They have their fashions and their fantasies,
And one she in her time wears many garments
Through her Seven Stages. First, the baby,
Befrilled and broidered, in her nurses arms.
And then the trim-hosed school girl, with her
founces ;; >. .~s-. j sz.s@sFc.zss...ss
And small-boy.scorning face. tripping. skirt rag
Cling, --~rs
Coquetting to school And then the flirt, ~7a-'
Ogling like Circe with business glance
Kept on her low-cut corset Then bride
Full of strange f1nery, vestured like an angel,
Yelled vigorously, yet vigilant of glance,
Seeking the womans heaven, Admiration,
Even at the Affairs gates. And then the matron
In fair, rich velvet with suaye satin lined,
With eyes severe, and skirts Of youthful cut,
Full Of dress saws and n0odish instances
To teach her girls their part. The sixth age shifts
Into the gray yet gorgeous grandmama,
With gold pince-nez on nose and fan at side,
Her youthful tastes still strong and worldly wise
In sumptuary taw, her quivering voice
Proving of Fashion, and LIE Follct pipes
Of-robes and bargains rare. Last scene Of all
That ends the sex's mode-swayed history,
In second childhood and sheer oblivion
OF YOUTH taste, passion all-save love of dress!

As Sensible rs Most DueIs.

Sheep s-head, although hardly flat
tering epithet or term of endearment,
is not regarded betweenI man and man
IN this country as an insult of so deep a
dye that the stain inflicted upon the
honor of gentleman to whom this
compound noun may happen to be adj
dressed can only be washed out in blood.
That such, however, is the view taken
OF its German equivalent. ''Schafskopf,"
in the Fatherland is conclusively demon
strated by the following lamentable oc-
cuTrence: A few days ago, in the an
cient City of Oldenbuyg, one Herr jan
sen, an elderly barrster, called upon an
acquaintance. the upper story of whose
dwelling was occupied by an infantry
Lieutenant named Fischer, the proprie-
tor OF a handsome pointer, upon which
he had sportiyely bestowed the name Of
Scharfskopf. The dog was lying
stretched on the doorstep as Jansen
came up to the door, and that very mo-
ment the Lieutenant, thrusting his head
out of his second-hoo window, shouted
at the top of his voice: "Sheep' s-head,
come up, will your" Jansen took the
summons to himself, and, instead of
entering the house, waited by the door
until Fischer made his appearance,
when, exclaining: "Sheep' s-head
yourself" he lent the Lieutenant a
hearty box on the ear. Fischer, who
was in multi, retorted with walking
stick, and the result of this misunder-
standing was hostile meeting. Jansen
fired first, inilicting slight flesh wound
upon his adversary, whereupon Fischer,
in no way ruffied by his hurt, stretched
the too-hasty advocate dead upon the
ground with a bullet through his heart.

A Reluctant Bride.

Yesterday marriage license was Is
sued TO colOred man who had left his
dusl<y prospective bride waiting outside
the court house, and with the precious
document in his possession he hurried
back to her side, his face wreathed in
smiles and his heart evidently overflow
ing with joyous antieipations He told
her that now all that was necessary TO
their supreme happiness was to hunt up
clergyman or a Justice of the Peace
and have the knot tied. She hung her
head and kicked modify at one OF the
stone steps as she said something to him
that caused the smiles to fade from his
lace and he looked as if some one had
just slammed the door of Heavenin his
face as he was about to enter. Then he
began to argue vigorously with her, and
finally she reluctantly accompanied him
to'iUHstice McCann' Office. There the
cause of the hitch was developed. 1t
appeared that she was attired in the
dress which she had been accustomed to
wearing while performing her house,
hold duties, and it was somewhat soiled
by contact with kitchen utensils, etc.
She objected to standing up that dress
TO have the ceremony performed, and
wanted to go home to put ON some clean
clothes, while her intended husband in
sisted upon being married then and
there, She, had partially relented, but
when the Justice startedto perform the
ceremony she broke out with:
9 HoP on dar, tain no use. / isn't

Now look yere, honey, watts de use

candidate for eonnubial joys.
''Srose dey is fo' some folks, but

The persuasive powers of the lmpa-
tent swain were persistently, but inef-
fectually used, and the couple finally
left the office to get "dem clean clos"

A Hazardous Undertaking.

At the mill of Palmer Brothers,
Palmerstown, Conn, the other day, an
attempt was made to put betting on a
large wheel, fourteen feet in diameter,
and in order to get the belt in position
several of the employees got on the
spokes of the wheel to turn it. 1t was
found impossible to get power enough
in this way, and accordingly the engine
was started before it was noticed that
one of the hands was still on the wheel
His perilous position was quickly per-
ceived and a scene of the greatest eX-
element ensued. The unfortunate man
owes his life to the presence of mind
which he displayed. Had he attempted
to Jump from the wheel his death would
have been inevitable, but he chung to
one of the spokes with both hands and
feet as the revolutions of the great
wheel with IFS sweep of fifty feet, car
ried him first to the ceiling and then to
the basement of the mill. The great
difficulty was in stopping the engine so
that the wheel would be in position
which would allow him to eXtricate him
self, but this was accomplished after
quite a number of trials. -Hqrtford
