An Actors Nasal Triumph.
New York Letter.

My own recollections OF Edward Arnott
relate principally to his foppishness He was
not a profes sional beauty, but aspired to be
and failed only on account Of his lack Of
nose. He had one, but it was so small and
fat that an otherwise handsome face was by
it ruined. On the occasion Of charity
performance he appeared as Romeo. He
was lusty in figure and voice, and by no
means bad actor. His venture into
ShAkespearean heroism was measurably sue
cessfuL Wasn't his snub-nosed Romeo
comicall On the contrary, it was a nasal
triumph. By means Of wax and paint he
built out his nose to fine proportions, and no
stranger in the audience suspected the i'm
position. He afterward declared that the
mails for a week brought tender missives
from maidens whom at that matinee he had
distracted. 1t is common practice for
actors to add artificially to their noses for
comic purposes, but never heard of another
instance of it being done for Identification.

Jspan's Paper Currency.
Toxic Letter.

A few words concerning the paper
currency of Japan. In the recOnstruc-
ton days the government, in order to
avoid immediate bankruptcy and obtain
lease of life until it could try its
powers, was obliged to resort to the
orthodox plan of issuing fiat money.
Something above $50, 900, 900 was issued,
and in such way, too, that the public,
unable to look into the secret councils
of an absolute monarchy, regarded this
rag money as exceedingly fat. 1t is
doubtful if this money ever has been
worse than the greenback in the dark
days of the American civil war
The finance department seems to have
had consistent plan in mind. Gradu
ally the debt has decreased until it now
reaches about 9O,OOO,O0O, while the
specie reserves have increased from next
to nothing until now they foot up co.
900, 900. Trade being against Japan
has prevented the rapid accumulation
of specie reserve, and the internal i'm
provements have also drawn on the
treasury in excess of receipts from cor
responding sources.

A Sensible Creed.
Toronto Globe. i

An important part Of the Buddhist creed
Is the belief in the alienation of periods Of
repose with the periods Of activity. As man
sleeps every twenty -four hours, and vegeta-
ton subsidies and revives with the seasons,
% rest periods follow each incarnation The
tide wave Of humanity flows on to each of
the seven planets seven times, and passes
through its seven races and ebbs away again,
but the great rest period of our planetary
chain does not begin until the seventh round
Of humanity is perfected At an incalcula-
bly, remote period the whole of the seven
planetary chains Of our solar sysaam will
pass into period Of rest, and finally the
whole universe itself will have its great

Mrs Oliphant was sure they were not
written by woman. Mrs. Carlisle con-

age, with wife, from whom he has got
those beautiful feminine touches in his book,
a good many children, and a dog that he
has as much fondness for as have for my
little Nero" But Dickens said: "If they
originated with no woman, believe that no
man before ever had the art Of making him

Arctic cold would be uncomfortable if tn. air
were not so wonderfully dry and clear-and
often very still-that it does not seem half
as cold as it really is Then the changes Of
weather are not generally very sudden; the
heat and cold are very regular, and in mid
seasons the thermometer does not fluctuats
much

serve to illustrate what winter in Manitoba

six to ten feet deep from November to April

As He Was Saying.

At one of the theatres the other evening a
man who had seat between his wife and
daug hter left it at the close of an act for a
trip down stairs. When he returned he
found a vacant seat two rows back between
two women, and dropped into it with the re-
mark:
"As was saying when I went out, it's

wear. Because some one else makes a fool

Snakes in India.
TSan Era-,,s,n ChrpnfcIa

The venomous snakes Of India show no
signs Of becoming scarcer. Last year, out
of a total Of % 9O5 human beings killed by
wild beasts, no less than 20, 667 are known to
have fallen victims to snake bites. A war
of determination is being carried on with
some success in the Bombay presidency,
where rewards were paid for the death Of
nearly 800, 900 serpents, and in the Punjaub
50, 600 were disposed OF. The other divisions
did not do so well, and the result is seen in
an increased death-rate from snake bites in
both Madras and Bengal. Europeans rarely
suffer harm from snakes, the boots protect
ing their feet, which is the part of the body
most frequently struck by serpents. The
only way to get rid of the snakes is to clear
away the jungles which harbor them.

Artificial Conscience.
iDetrot Free Pressl
A good share Of the inventive talent Of
the day is given to devising machinery for
keeping people honest. The whole idea Of
mechanical honesty is based upon the theory
that the conscience is quite extinct Years
ago various meters and gauges for prevent
ing whisky frauds on the government were
d source of fortune to those lucky enough to
get the government to adopt them, but they
did not prevent the frauds. Everywhere one
goes nowadays there is the rattle of wheels
and the changing of bells to announce that
there is a person near who will take. if he
has a chance what does not belong to him.
There is the street car conductors bell
punch; the annunciator that records the
number of passengers; the box for the
deposit Of fares padlockei and inaccessible
to the bob-tal car driver; the alarm on the
cash drawer which rings whenever 10 is
opened; the noise and chuck Of the artificial
cash box running from the salesman to the
cashier at the desks in the large retail stores,
and this is to be supplanted by a machine
which records ir large figures the value of
every sale and which without ringing a bell
cannot be altered until the next sale Is
effected. Whether by long habit and the
law of heredity these artificial consciences
will breed natural ones will be disclosed
only to those living long enough to watch
the experiment.

William Seward Webb. the journalist,

remaining unmarried daughter Of William
H. Vanderbilt, the richest man in America.
1t was love match, too, and the young
pair are as happy as turtle doves in each
others society. Webb was a young sprig
and Vanderbilt did not like him. Figura-
lively speaking he kicked him out of the
house several times, but in this instance love
laughed at kicks, and doubtless would have
taken cuffs at the same time with perfect
composure.
The fact is, Mr.. Vanderbilt forbade him
the house, but the young girl was in love
with young Webb, and when girl is in love
there is one of two things-she will either
get over it or go through with it Miss

Training for Girls


In these days every middle-class mother
ought to train her girls to do something
which is OF marketable value. As it is, they
are often not even trained for marriage
They know nothing-nothing about house
work, servants, buying, selling, health Of
children, their own health. economy,
method, neatness, order-all is happy-go-
lucky with them. hail the better system
IF eAucation prevalent at our high rchoois
and eahers under government inspection;
out technical training OF all kinds for girls
is quite left out If girl doesn't marry, she
ought to be able to turn her hand to some
thing.
Our social feeling is quite false upon this
question. Everything is mira dig. Young
"a lies with nothing a year may do all sorts
Of things for their amusement, but they
must not do the very same things syste-
matically for money. For instance, a
girl will paint her own bedroom
doors with flowers in panels, will
pick out the cornice of her mothers
irawing-room or will gild her pic
ture frames; but suggest that she should
train herself as house high-art decorator,
and she would no more sit upon a ladder in
some one eise's house and pick out the cornice
Or paint flower wreath on the ceiling for
money than she would fly. That would be
mira dig Therefore, girls are out from
many industries from which they might
qualify themselves, and turn to in an emerg-

ss q congressional friend ~ mine. tis was

went at him in a rather ingenious way. They

some and interesting married lady, the wife
of a retired army officer who happened to be
interested in the bill This lady began a
mild Irritation with my congressional friend
and soon had him completely captivated.
Whenever she was in the gallery of the
house he would fly up as fast as he could to
visit her.
There was nothing in all this but the most
innocent of flirtations. l will not swear
that my friends intentions were of the most

himself for several days in the warmth of
the luxurious idea that this lady wis slowly
but surely succumbing 10 "A fatal passion for
him. One morning, the very day the bill
my friend was opposed to was to come up,
he received a note from this lady asking him
TO call at her house at o'clock that after
noon. This was the same hour set for the
consideration of the bill. The member. how
ever, did not remember this He was so de-
lighted with the note that he forgot all about
the bill. He hastened to this lady's house,
which was in the extreme northwestern part
of the city.
When he arrived there, full of hope and
expectation, he found this lady with one or
two interesting young nieces with her,
whom she presented. She said that she had
taken the liberty of sending for him without
explanation because she desired him to take
lunch with her nieces. They were to be in
Washington only day and were very anx-
ious To see SO prominent man. The con-
gresham was then led out to handsome

so more in the poltest fashion. When ne re-
turned to the house he found that the bill to
which he was so savagely opposed had al
ready passed. Then he understood the
matter. He never called upon this lady
again But she always bows to him good

member added: THAT is the only way that

They have a perfect genius for conspiracies
Of that sort-to draw away members from
their posts at time when their presence in
the house might be fatal to a meas ure."
