Character of the Girl Whose Hand wa
Sought by Bucit" Grant.

Character OF the Girl Whose Hand was
sought by Buck" Grant.
Food has an only daughter, Jennie,
who, it will he remembered. was sought
after by young Buck" Grant when
he was out here about two years ago.
How far the acquaintance went is not
known, but the story which is generally
credited is that Miss Jennie discovered
that her suitor was paying too much
attention to other girls and refused to
have anything more to do with him.
She is not young woman who
would be sought for her charms of
mind or face She looks like a well.
settled matron of forty, having large,
full, fat facc, with heavy features, and
she adds TO her mature appearance by
brushing her hair straight back from
the face, and doing it up In the simple
and severely plain style affected by
housewives of thirty years ago. When
she appears at parties and the opera in
full dress, she Is even homclicr than in
street dress, as pccollctc dress and
light Colors do not harmoniZe with the
sanguine complexion and ovcrful
figure. She has 80 900, 900 in her own
right, but she is said TO be pcnurlous
in her tastes and TO look closely after
every dollar that she spends. Her selfish
character is very plainly betrayed by
her actions at the last seasons Italian
opera, when Patti and Scalchi created so
great furor here. Miss Jennie oc.
cupied a conspicuous position every
night in the front of prosccnium
box; she wore different costume
nightly, and she always carried huge
bouquet as large around as the bot.
tom of bucket. This she displayed
throughout the evening as a sort of
foil to her blazing diamonds, but no
lyric flights of Diva Patti, and no soul
stirring strains of Scalchi's noble
voice moved her cold nature to
throw her bouquet MS tribute to
genius She went home with 1t every
time, to the great disgust of those Of
less means who were more generous
with their flowers. = ST. Louis Globe.

a Piece of Good Fortune.

The mention of the enormous fortune
amounting to GsC0,000, which has lately
fallen to the lucky coachman, whose rcla-
tive had been one of the successful settlers
in New Zealand some fifty or sixty years
ago, is an orent which nowadays is OF rare
occurrence. Perhaps one of the most ex-
traordinary strokes of fortune was that
which befell the sailor who at Melbourne
received few pounds for arrears of pay,
aud, as thrifty man, he gave IL to LAWYER
in Melbourne TO invest for him. (By The
bye, what AN honest lawyer this proved to
be- For many long years the sailor neither
visited Melbourne nor thought much of his
investment; but when at last he did find
himself again in that port, he looked up the
lawyer and asked for his money. "Will
you step with me and see your property ?"
"Delighted to do So" And the sailor saw
with surprise fine banking house In the
best situation, and was told IL stood on his
land, and produced very large income.
The acute lawyer had bought the land at a
very low price, aud, as the city increased
and extended itself on all Sides the small
plot of land became valuable piece of city
property, and its owner was rich man. =

The Feet OF chicago Cirla.

81 see great many funny paragraphs in
the newspapers about Chicago and st..
Louis girls feet and the shoes they wear"
said Boston dealer, who trades with those
towns. $50 far as st. Louis girls are CON
cerned, these paragraphs are wide of the
mark, for both men and women in all that
section Of the country have remarkably
small feet But it is unquestionably true
that the Chicago foot is unusually large,
though viii not pretend to give u reason
for 1t. You may form some notion of the
difference in size which exists between the
Boston and the Chicago foot from the fact
that in the latter city mems sizes average
nearly II, while here the average is about
a. There is about the same difference in
women's shoes. So the joke about Chicago
girls feet may be said to be strictly founded
on fact, y Chicago Herald.

gone so lar as to intimate that nasmuch as
the university is not to be placed in this city
IL ought not to have New Yorlls help, even
though IL has the favor of the archbishop

We were struck recently by the re-
marks of a doctor friend of ours who
said no one thing would do so much to
make people independent Of the medi-
cal profession as the daily use Of fruit.
He had noticed that those farmers in
whose families fruit was regularly and
largely consumed, seldom needed his
services. We thought what a pity
every farmer in the land could not be
convinced Of these truths. 1t is a
deplorable fact chat the farmers fami-
lies do not enjoy that robust health
that country air and outdoor life, with
plenty Of exercise should give. 1t is
also a fact that living on farms whose
rich acres are aching to produce abund-
ant crops Of the varied fruits, but very
few have plenty, and many never have
any fruit, except it may be an occasion
al apple. The standard food in a ma
jority Of farmers houses consists
largely of bread, butter, and meat
(mostly pork) fried in grease, and
where pastry or cake is used, it has
lard in large proportion in its compo-
sition; and this food is eaten at least
twice, and, in many families, three
times a day, year in and year ont. Is
it any wonder that they are got more
healthy, and that their prevailing
