Thrift of French Women.

the best OF unregarded trifes the
other day, when dining with one
who certainly has a reputation
for prudence. A cherry pie had
been on thetable, and the mistress
gave strict i%niunctions that the
stones were to be scraped from the
plates and placed in her store
room. | ventured to ask the Tea-
son, and was told that not only
cherry but plum, peach and all
manner Of stones, whether cooked
or raw, were invariably saved,
gently dried i'll the oven, and kept
in IA great jar. Then" said
madame, ain the Winter when
the fire burns clear and bright in

for a moment, send up n brilliant
flame, and the whole room is
filled with a delicious odor.'

The senior class of Yale Col
lege is excited over the discovery
that it has a kleptomaniac, or, to
use plain language, a thief in its
membership. Suspicion was first
directed toward the offender, Que
Albert f. Smith, by the discovery
that he had eXtorted $40 from a
Freshman under false pretenses.
He pretended to be an agent of
the Consolidated Base Ball Nine
and made the Freshman contrib
ute the sum above named. 1t
was soon found out that Smith
had many other victims. Hiscollec-
tons from the Freshmen amount
ed to 500, and from the Sophie
mores to sos. He also stole "a re-
volvcr and other articles from
classmates and pawned them. He
has been arrested and put under
bonds. The college faculty are
probably awaiting the result Of
the judicial Investigation before
taking action, but the excitement
among the students is very great.

The Bow-leuqed Man.

There is a case coming up
before n Chicago court hat will
be of great interest to thousands
Of people who have long desired a
decision on some of the points that
will be developed. It seems that
a young man, n member of one
of the Chicago clubs, and a gen
tleman of wealth, and refinement,
is to be sued by the father
of young woman for $4,000
damages for injuries that his
daughter received while in his
company. The young people had
been keeping company for some
years, and the carriage of the
young man was often &c i'll front
of the Michigan avenue residence
of the lady. Last December he
ceased visiting her, and since that
time she has been treated for "a
spinal difficulty, and the father
will go into the courts against his
daughters wish, to have the mat
ter of responsibility settled. 1t
seems that the young man is bow
legged, so much so that it has al
ways been dangerous for any one
to sit in his lap, for fear they
would through on the floor, and
break some bones. 1t is said that
the young man knows his failing,
and that he usually holds any per
son who may be in his lap, with
his arms, so that there is no dan
ger of their falling thorugh, but
that in this case he forgot the dan
ger, and let the girl slip through.
The father claims that the young
man knowing how f~carfully and
wonderfully he is made, should
have adopted precautions, and in
his complaint he will answer that
on several occasions he has
warned the young man that he
should place a board cross his
lap, or some day he would let
somebody through. In his answer
to the complaint the young man
will say that his legs r just as
nature made them, and that any
body who sits in his lapmust take
their chances. He adds that if
the girl had used all the precau-
ton that one in so dangerous a
position should use, and thrown
her arms around his neck as thou
sands of others have done, there
need have been no danger, and
while he sympathizes deeply with
her and the family, owing to the
alleged injury, he cannot consider
himself responsible. Uncle Sans

The last royal visit to Nancou-
ver's Island, prior to the present
one of the Princess Louise, says a
Boston paper, was made by the
Duke Of Edinburgh when a MILDLY.
The governor, who isthe greatest
man there, gave a ball in his hon
or. His daughter, who was the
belle ofthe settlement having been
to school in Portland, Ore, and
wearing flowers, nher hair, was
directed to give herself airs,
which she did e~ffectually, although
her mother was a full bloeded
Indian squaw and she but once
removed. The young MILDLY.
dazzled by her pretty looks went
straight up and asked her for the
first dance, but the girl, regarding
his uniform with contempt, refused
the invitation, whispering within
his hearing to her companion
that her father had told her never
to dance with a MILDLY. A little
while after the governors daugh-
ter was formally introduced to
dance with the Prince, when the
latter turned to the officer who
accompanied him and said, coolly,
"Make an excuse; my mother
would never allow me to dance
with a squaw." This lady is now
the great lady of the island, and
is noted for her large-hearted
charity and Cancellation of the
Indian tribes.

JACK CANTER'S LAST DAY

Prisoner No. 1929, at the
Eastern Penitentiary, was up with

has generally been a goodnatured
jail-bird during his nearly eight
years stay that terminated with
the rising of yesterdays sun. He
has been a Jail bird for nearly
half of his life of sixty odd years,
and has learned to take az much
sunny side as he could get behind
the stone walls. No 1929 having
brushed his thin gray hair and
his moustache called for his black
broadclOth suit and his shoes and
over-gaiters, which he had not
donncd once for nearly seven
yeas. The insatiate moth, how
ever, had riddled the over-gaiters
and had feasted royalty on the
garments. No. 1929 had to buy
a new outfit, which he was well
able to do, as he had a credit of
several thousand dollars with
Warden Cassidy. Whenthe new
clothes came and a carriage and a
big trunk, and No. 1929 loaded
his possessions in the trunk in

Well said Mr. Claflin, with tears in
his eyes, you shall have ii, and three
times the amount If you wish. You
father once lent me $4,000 and asked
me the same questions. No thanks-l
owe it to You for your fathers sake.'"

Expense OF Beer Alone.

"During $780," says the Retailer, the
organ of the brewers, "taxes we're paid
OH IS .374 coo barrels or Ala ,000, 900 gal
Ions" This is equivalent to about one
hundred and fifty mugs for every man,
woman and child in the country. Leav-
ling out the females and children, this
vast quantity represented GOO glasses q
year for each male over twenty-one
years old in the United States. When
we consider the very large number OF
adult males who drink no beer at all,
and the other host who partake OF il
only in the most moderate manner and
ut more or less protracted intervals, II
is evident that some other Americans
must drink a great deal. At five cents
a glass, this beer manufacture OF 1880
brought 1915, OOO, 900, or about S7.50
per capita Tor every man, woman and
child. This Is a quarter more than the
total expense Of running the United
States government. This Is stubborn
and an appalling fact.
