Whistling Girls.
n. +. Morning Journal

1t is now The fashion for women to
whistle, as it is for them to do the
Kensing ton stitch and play on the
banjo, and whatever is fashionable is
perfectly proper SO at least say fash
ions followers. Besides the many
professional women in this city, there
are scores of amateurs. In Brooklyn
there are two clubs of girls where
whistling is the only music permitted,
and one of the clubs possesses a teach
er who teaches them part whlstling
songs and solos, with piano accom-
paniment. III this city there are no
whistling clubs, but many young
ladies make whistling as much an &C
complishment as singing. A journal
reporter asked young lady how she
learned to whistle.
ooh, easy enough" she replied Il
have always whistled, and learned
with my big brothers; in fact, | can
whistle better than either of them
now; listen and she sat down at the
piano and whistled. Listen to the
Mocking Bird" doing the trills in a
mastery style.
Il always had an idea it was hard
work for a girl to whistle.
We'll, it is" she replied Some
girls can not whistle at all, and others
whistle in most peculiar manner.
Why, | know Il girl, and she can
whistle and sing at the same time"
The reporter looked incredulcus.
How does she manage it, he ask
cd.
We'll, you see, she can't whistle
but between breaths, and when she is
taking breath the tune continues,
but she sings it instead Of whistling.
1t very amusing indeed, and sounds
as though she were whistling and
singing at the same time"
DO you whistler asked the re
porter of a very pretty young lady the
other evening,
"Oh. yes" she said Il have Just
learned new piece, Sweet Violets,
and it sounds beautiful. 1 whistle
with guitar and violin accompani-
ment which is quiet unusual, you
know; but one does get so tired of
banjo music all the time.
Did it take you long to learn2"
Yes, quite time. l didn't seem
to get my tongue right, and now
girl | know tells me | am getting
wrinkles all about my mouth; but
can not see them. and | think she
says SO merely out of envy, because
my whistling IS so much admired.

TAe Palm Leaf Hat.
Nashville Aneric an.

The goddess who presides over the
destiny of female head -gear has en-
ployed herself of late in devising
novel designs and using novel mater
ial. The poke the Mother Hubbard,
the clam shell and other quaint
designs followed one after the other,
and now the rage is the hat made of a
palm leaf fan. This peculiar head
gear attracts immediate and frequent
attention for now, no girl or young
lady has contented mind who has
not also for hat, two and half
cent fan, disguised in 50 worth of
trimming. The trimming takes every
form, from plain black binding to
an elaborate cover of silk or satin,
pink or blue or other hue. The handle
is cut off, the fan bent in some mys-
tcrious way-but every young lady
understands is, and it doesn't concern
the men how it is done, so they adj
mire it. 1t is very economical-a hat
for two and half cents. The trim
ming does not count
The rage for these hats has become
SO great that fans have become scarce,
and palm leaf fans that were sold two
for a nickel but a few weeks ago, are
now sold by all the dry goods stores
for fifteen cents.

ened.
From TIE Portland Oregonian.
The interest excited by the appear
ance of the Indians, among the news
paper men, was of such a nature as
to develop itself at an unseemly
hour of the night Shortly after leav-
ing the. cliff, of sudden, the oc-
cups hts of one of the cars in the third
sectIoa were awakened by a most
frightful series of yells. Heads were
quickly poked from behind the cur
tains. and to the horror of the night
gowned occupants of the car. the
aisle was discovered to be full of wild
and painted Indians, armed with
tomahawks, knives and all the para
phernalia of savage warfare. They
were bent upon murder and robbery,
and had selected car which was fill
ed mainly with press representatives
as their first point of attack, well
knowing that nowhere else would
they find so much concealed wealth.
The occupants of the car were horror
stricken, and for a moment were I'M
able to do anything, save to yell. In
the meantime one of the Indians got
astride the colored porter and nearly
tore his bleeding scalp from off his
head.
Commissioner Bell. of Washington,
who occupied an upper berth, grasped
his revolver, but before he could use
it it was wrenched from his hand and
he was laid out stark and stiff.
The Hon. Carter Harrison poked
his head from behing the curtain of
his berth, and attempted to mutter
speech to the raiding redskins.
The result is that Chicago will have
to call special election and choose
another man to take the place
once occupied by ''the best Mayor
Chicago ever had
represents one of the Eeastern papers,
fell out of his berth wrong side fore
most, and as he was attlred in gor-
seous under-garments of scarlet, the
Indian deliberately denuded him and
left him sad relic Of departed glory.
Several other horrible outrages oc
curred-one young Engllshman in the
car having his front teeth all carried
away-he had left them by the side
of his tent, when he retired, and
Neahbrocks, Chief of the tribe, dis
covered them and took them away, to
give to his wife and children at the
Newyorktimes Reservation. Chief
Evs Malley stubbed his big toe against
pun belonging to the correspondent
of the st. Paul Globe, and injured
himself badly. The Indians were
put to fight all of sudden by brave
Conductor Weber, who rushed to the
spot with a bottle of appollonaris
water, and cried, Supper in the rear
car, gentlemen - 1t was indeed mar
row escape, and members of the party
still carry recollections and mementoes
of the occasion, some of which cost as
| high as Sc and IS.

On the Diamond.
New ork Herald.

If those who have declared over and
over again that baseball is played
out" will take the trouble and give
themselves the pleasure of attending
any one of the few remaining games
of the season they will discover
their error. Baseball after the style it
was INDUCED in a few years since,
when the popular craze resulted in the
gathering of muffin mines" at every
country cross-road, is played out,
it is true; but the game contested
scientifically, as it now is by the lead
ing clubs of the country, never was as
popular and never was at such perfec-
ton as it is to-day. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to find from ten to fifteen
thousand persons present at the pro
fessional exhibitions-su as those
of the League, the American and the
Interstate associations and the lead
ing amateur meetings have been
hardly behind them, either in the skill
which the players have shown Or the
interest which the games have COM
manded. The championships have
now been all but decided, but it will
b: some time yet before the mines will
go into winter quarters, not for rest,
but for constant gymnasium practice,
that they may be ready to contest for
the pennant of 1854

An Important Boy.
Boston Globe

The boy that wears watch is au
important character. At school he is
envied, and on the street he is respect
ed None of the boys grab him and
throw him down, for they might break
his time keeper. He has a way of
twisting the chain when he talks, and
of looking at his watch when he hears
a railroad train, and saying twelve
ten or six-five or eight-sixteen. The
other boys staaa around and regard
him with admiration He grows up
and probably goes to college with :
distinguished air, but in a few years
he pawns his watch with man who,
as a boy, otter stood around and adj
mired it.

Restaurants in Frisco.

The people of this city, like those Of
Paris, live largely at restaurants
writes a San Francisco correspondent
The number and variety of eating
houses are remarkable. They are on
every street, and of all grades and
finish. The proprietor of one of the
Ian gest told me they were furnishing
from 1000 to 1900 meals per day,
and this number will doubtless be
largely increased during the next two
weeks. | know of no American city
where one can live so cheaply, so far
rs eating is concerned, as here.
Housekeeping is more expensive than
in the East, as rents are very high
but restaurant living is reduced to
the lowest possible cost. The result
is that hundreds of couples, together
with much of the single element, hire
rooms and then take their meals at
an eating At the Poodle Dog,
"a dining room patronized by wealthy
people and those who desire to be
membered among the tony ones, it
is very easy to run a dinner up to 81

restaurants q good dinner can lie had

variety of dishes desired. \ lady

A MEETING.

Two that wrecked each others hope,
Parting coldly in their prime,
Met upon the downward slope,
Taught by tears and Gained by time,
Under autumn's perfect trees,
Dropping bright remembrance.
There they spread their stories out,
Face to face and hand to hand,
Looking back with wistful doubt,
Into the forgotten land.
Where the wheels of life went fast,
Hardly seen till they were past:
Looking where the dawn had been.
Till each gray and pallid line
Shivers with a sun unseen,
Which must never rise and shine,
And the Moment lost and vain,
Comes before their souls again;
Saying softly. Yes l think
You were there-yOu came at ten.
I'm your hair was something pink
How have the tint since them
Hate harmless ribbonr Nay,
have pardoned it to-day"
Il remember what you said.
But you laughed, and despaired.
Did Taught was afraid
You might think ! cared.
BE content, your pride shall be
Scatheiess as your heart for me.
Something in your voice assures
You have angry feelings yet"
Something told ne then in yours
That you would not quite-fcr%et.
Just one foolish moment lit
Hope that laugh extnguished 1t.
Sure the fame was very weak.
Twas your silence let il die.
If n mans hope will not speak,
Can a wOman's heart reply
Had spoken DO / know:
1t was very long ago
Face 10 face and hand in hand,
Looking at those eastern skies,
is the light along the land
Only borrowed from their eyes:
Can the song Of birds he drawn
From memory Of dawn:
10. the hill, the sea the plain.
Flushing with familiar rose
Look away, and look again
But the color strays and grows,
Wherefore stand amazed and dumb:
Knew you not that morn must come:

The Dog That Rescued a Horse.

The Fau River correspondent of the
Providence Journal relates the follow
ing: ''Mr VIM. III. Baylies of this
city is the owner of fine spaniel dog,
who is with his owner rusticating for
a season near Robinson's Pond, just
over the Plymouth county line. 4
few days ago horse left tied near the
pond broke loose, and by some mishap
fell into the pond where it was very
deep and appeared too bewildered to
find his way out. The dog happening
to be strolling along the edge of the
pond, and observing the danger the
horse was in, instantly plunged in,
SWAN to the horse, seized the bride
with his teeth and gradually pulled
the horse around and guided him to
the shore, where he could emerge from
his perilous condition This state
ment is made on reliable authority.

cold and motionless, and, notwith-
standing medical aid was called in,
he died five days afterward.
