Jack Dormer took Mrs. Halket in TO
dinner-she was rather pretty, but eN-
cessively dull; the lady on the other side
of him was Miss Ritchie, with the loud
yoice-she on the contrary was lively
over lively, indeed, to please him-and
she was moreover singularly plain.
Jack, who was perfect epicure on the
subject of women, felt intensely bored
between the two. In the intervals of
eating his dinner and keeping mp de-
sultory and forced conversation, his eyes
wandered perpetually across the table to
where, exactly opposite him, sat young
lady in a grey silk dress. The dress was
the first thing that struck him about
her. There was all around him great
exhibition of bare necks and shoulders,
and of fat arms displayed in all their
unlovely length. Jack, who was fresh
from long residence in the East, where
the charming mystery of yelled woman-
hood had exercised strange fascination
over his somewhat over-reined and
sensitive mind, regarded these customs
of modern English life with something
akin to disgust. He looked up and
down the length of the table; Lady
Sale, sitting at Sir James Ellerton's
right hand, was enormously fat; the
dowager on the left was lean and bony;
other women at the table were blessed
with figures which from various causes
were ill-suited TO the fashion of the
day. And yet all were unanimously
lavish in the liberal display of their
charms.
at is a remnant of barbarismw said
Jack to himself, and then his eyes rest
ed once more with satisfaction upon the
young lady opposite to him.
Her dove-grey dress was softened at
the throat by folds OF white tulle; her
sleeves were long, only displaying the
rounded whiteness Of her wrists and
arms up to the elbow. Then from look

Testimonial from SIR julius Benedict.

The Grand Concert Piano-Forte by
WM. KNABE e Co., which l had the
pleasure of trying myself, and which |
also heard performed upon, combines in
my opinion, an admirable quality of
tone, equally adapted to the display of
power or to expression, with a most eX-
cellent, easv and yet elastic touch. The
sOlidity and finish Of the workmanship
of this splendid instrument is beyond
all praise, and taken altogether, | con
slider it one of the most perfect piano
fortes ever met with, and whose sue
cess, whether in large concert hall or
in a private drawing-room, does not
admit of the slightest doubt, and will
become as universal as well deserved.

Women are just too lovely in new-
ly laundried lawn dresses. When fresh
from the close communion with toilet
soap and crystal water she has the ripe
peach fragrance of paradise. When a
fellow passes to the leeward of a lovely
woman, who is filling the air with sweet
ness and purity as she gracefully trips
along, he delicately shifts the air as if
he had got snatch of heavenly per-
fume. God bless the women.

NOVEL TAX SCHEME.
Whisky Drinkers to Bear the
Burden of Govern
lments

Senator O'Brien has introduced in the
Minnesota State Senate, and a special
committee has recommended its pas
sage, bill which provides for So per-
mits, to be issued to such adult male
residents of the State as can prove to
village trustees, town supervisors. or
city aldermen that they are only moder-
ate drinkers and that their families and
friends are not liable to suffer want or
disgrace through their Indulgence.
Every resident who drinks in saloon
or public place must have such permit,
and any infringement of the law is
punishable by fine for each Otfense, the
money for such permits and fines to be
covered into the general reserve fund
in the several counties. Senator
OBrien is satisfied that the amount re-
ceived would soon be so large that all
other taxes would be abolished. A,EVeTy
man would have permit, for to be
without one would give rise to the Sus-
picion that he could not get the needed
certificate.
Senator O'Brien says he never knew a
Maine man who wasn't a Drohihitionlst
by profession and by practice the other
thing, and be proposes to put the Maine
man and other pr0hibitionists, of whom
there are a number in each house, on
the record as in favor or opposed to the
only practical solution Of the liquor
problem. He regards his bill as such
solution. Item.
