The Paris police magistrates evil
IDENTIFY believe, like all sensible people
that the only proper place to advertise
is in the newspapers. For some years
past one of the most conspicuous fea-
lures of the Paris thoroughfares has
been the staring red carts of an enter
prising English tradesman. The driver
was Invariably attired in a gorgeous
postillion's costume, and the horse by
curious arrangement, was almost
concealed from view inside what was
really a huge FORMULATING square
box. These ingenious advertising me-
diums have now disappeared pursuant
to a decree of the project of police, to
whom complaints had been made that
they impeded the traffic in the streets,
besides frightening the horses of other
vehicles The decree was at first dis
regarded, but this led to three of the
offending structures being con6scated
by the authorities.

A Wisconsin woman has invented a
labor-saving machine for the benefit of
bees, and the little honey makers of

the machine is indented in exact

placed in the hives the little workers
have nothing to do but to gather
sweets enough to fill the ready-made
receptacles.

tax man confined to his bed for year, and
in need of daily visit over $1,000 year

De Brazza the Liherator.

M. Henri Martin, the French senator
and historian, presiding recently at a
banquet given in honor of M. de Brazza
by the Historical society of Paris, spoke
in enthusiastic terms of the work ac-
complished by one who, he declared,
was applauded by the whole of France.
Referring to the Congo question M.
Henri Martin added that it only re-
NAMED to be settled by the government
and parliament, both of which could be
trusted to do their duty to the country.
The banquet at an end the remainder of
the evening was spent at the st. Simon
club, where M. de Brazza gave brief
account of his travels. He stated that
he had been most successful in putting
down slavery, and that on one occasion
upward of 120 slaves had come to him
to implore the protection of ''the father
of the slaves" II have devoted seven
years." said he, 'to the exploration of
the Ogoue for distance of eight hum
dred kilometers, and to the spread of
Frances fame throughout the whole Of
this district. This is merely a begin
ming. now ask leave to continue this
work on the Congo. Although my first
efforts are humble, this enterprise is
nevertheless great one. We have be-
fore us new country which opens o
wide field to France not only for her
commerce and industry, but also for
her children, who can create Herewith

work from which science and humanity
will alike derive benefit"

The Girly Girl,

The girly girl, says the Philadelphia
Progress. is the truest girl. She is what
she seems, and not sham and pre-
tense. The slangy girl has II hard job of it
not to forget her character. The boy girl
and the rapid girl are likewise wearers OF
masks. The girly girls never worry about
woman rights and woman wrongs. She is
girl, and is glad of it. She would not
be boy and grow up into man and
vote and go away to war and puzzle her
brain about stocks for kingdom. She
knows nothing about business, and does
not want to know anything about it,
Her aim is to marry some good fellow
and make him good wife, and she
generally succeeds in doing both. She
delights in dress and everything that is
pretty, and is not ashamed to own that
she does. She is pleased when she il
admired, and lets you see that she is
She is feminine from the top of her head
to the end of her toes and if you try to
draw her into the discussion of dry
themes she tells you squarely that the
conversation does not suit her. She is
the personifcation of frankness. There
is not particle of humbug in her com.
position Here is health to the girly
girl! May her numbers never grow less.

Insensible to Abuse.

If q public man is thin-skipned and
reads the newspapers. he is likely ia
have hard life of it. He needs to have
the triple coat of brass, which Horace
speaks of, to blunt the barbed arrows
shot at him by the censors of the press.
Silas Wright, one of the great leaders
of the Democratic party in New York
fifty years ago, had an unfailing anti
dote for the rancor of abuse, he didn't
read it.
One day the editor of paper which
had been attacking Mr.. Wright savage
ly for many weeks met him at party,
and apologized for an article in that
mornings paper, saying he had found
out during the day that the charges
were untrue.
II do not understand YOU" answered
the bland statesman.
"Why, l have found out that the
article l published about you, this
morning, was not true"
"Mer' was the answer, in blander
tone, '.mer' You haven't been writing
against me, have you9"
Eyes, for six months"
"You don't say SO. / never heard OF
it," coolly replied Mr.. Wright.
"Then I'll write no MORE" said the
chagrined editor. who had been fatter-
ing himself that he was goading Mr..
Wright to the quick.
If nobody read or commented on
abusive articles, they would soon dis
appear from the public press. The read
er who enjoys them is party to SLAM

Professor Blaokie and his Pupils.

Few teachers in charge of young men
can allow them to frolic in the class
room, and still hold and enforce respect
and attention. The singular example
of playful familiarity between college
instructor and pupils, shown in Prof.
Blackie, seems the more singular for be-
ing in dignified Scotland. The White
hall RevteD says:
this ripe scholar and his crew of rough
Scotch students were such as an Oxford
tutor would faint to think of. Here is a
sketch, not from the imagination, of the
lecture of q session in the Greek class
room at Edinburgh:
