An Anecdote of Senator Sumner.

Among the Law Makers, in February st. Nicholas.
Senator Sumner took quite an interest in me,
and had an especial fondness for catching me by
the ears Often have / attempted to pass the
Senator while he was walking TO and fro on the
floor Of the Senate, only to have both my ears
seized good naturally, and to be asked some
kindly question / shall always remember one
of these a.ventures, for it was an adventure.
He had sent me an errand Having returned,
reported to him the answer, and received his
deep-voiced thanks started to move away, but
he had caught me, and continued his slow march
i in front-Indian file. AS he tall man
and a very small boy in comparison, had to
walk on tiptoe to ease the pain, and
even then it seemed as if my
ear would come off my head. The worst
of it was that he at once became so lost in
thought that he forgot he had hold of me, and
mechanically paced UP ard down, with his long
strides while l danced mild war dance for
some minutes-it seemed to me hours-to the in
tense amusement of all who observed it. The
more struggled, the more did increase the
agony, but at last managed to wriggle from
his grasp. The sudden emptiness" of his hand
caused him to realize the state of affairs, and he
begged my pardon so energetically, and the
spectators smiled so audibly that the proceed
ings of the Senate were interrupted and Mr..
Colfax actually had to tap with his gavel to re-
store order.
But it was, after all, an honor to be noticed,
even in that fashion, by so distinguished a man
as Senator Sumner. He had the widest reputa-
ton of any of the senator's and the first question
most visitors to the Senate would ask was:

Mr.. Cleveland's Sister.

Miss Elizabeth Cleveland is going to be posi-
tive force in Washington society, and will create
an intellectual atmosphere in the White House
that has been wanting in it for years Although
a believer in the temperance cause, Miss Cleve
land does not think the mistress of the White
House has any right to obtrudc her private con-
victionss or oblige the Nations guests to abstain
from wine at state dinners, because she happens
to have prejudice in favor of total abstinence.
Her life has been spent among her books and
studies. She has never been a frequenter of the
gay world, yet the easy grace with which she
bears the high honors thrust upon her at middle
age is convincing illustration of the fact that it
is not necessarily they who are most trumpeted
abroad and heralded in the gazette who are most
fitted to adorn high station.

Boston Letter In San Francisco Bulletin

damsels on earth, these Puritan maidens Their

The Snow Cure.

Geo. w. Beers, in February Century.
1t is by no means every delicate person who
should make Canada his winter resort; but it is
well known that our winters have cured chronic

winter climates as Nice, without more than tenn

peculiarities were precisely the same in Dakota
and Minnesota. was route from Brandon
to Winnipeg distance of hundred and
eighty miles by rail, and was caught
in a snow blockade which lasted eight
days, and kept us in a situation not likely again
to occur. The storm was SO severe that relief
trains could not leave Winnipeg. and couple OF
us who had the long snow-shoeS used on the
prairies tramped to and from farm-houses
couple of miles distant for provisions for the pas
sengerS. The snow plowS were of no use, and
in a desperate attempt to cut a way through the
drifts, the engine jumped the track and came to
grief. The train was pulled back from the depfls
by an engine in the rear and the next morning
we found ourselves separated from the wreck by
deep drifts, of them fifteen feet high. Night
after night passed; the coal and wood ran short;
two OF the cars were abandoned by the passen-
gers. and, to economize fuel we were
crowded into the two remaining cars.
The sleeping accommodation improvised
was very amusing. Fancy roosting two in a sim
gle seat with your knees doubled up to your
chin, or lying like sardines four in double seat.

of them, and at last the passengers went to

snow with might and MAN, and succeeded in

of the wrecked engine we raised old rails got
ties and laid new side track the hard

succeeded with the snow-plow, in reaching us,

this exposure upon the health of many of the
passengers was remarkably good One clergy

share of the shoyeling. He had very thin moe

Give the Girls an Equal Chance.

DR.. Lucy nj. Hail. in Popular Science.
An eminent French writer has said "When
you educate boy, you perhaps educate a man;
but, when you educate a girl, you are laying the
foundation for the education of a family" He
might have added that to this end the physical
training was Of equal Importance with the men
tai
In these days the subject of the physical train
ing OF young men is occupying much attention,
and the discussions are broad and full of interest
The fault is, that the needs Of both sexes in this
respect are not equally considered. An erect fig
ure an organism in which the processes of life
may go on without the ceaseless discord of func-
tions at war with each other because Of abnormal
reations-in short, the added advantages which
fine physical adjustment gives to
its pOssessor-are as necessary to one
sex as to the other, and for the same reasons
If physical education and consequent improve
ment are things to be desired, it is not that a
number of individuals as result of this training
shall be able to perform certain feats of strength
agility, but in its broadcast sense it is for the
improvement of the race, and the race cannot
materially advance physically intellectually, or
morally unless the two factors which constitute
the race share equally in whatever tends to it's
greater perfection. Therefore, if in consequence
of proper physical training men can do more
work, live longer and transmit to their offspring
a share of this improved condition, women also
should be so trained that they can do more work.

bilities of their offspring by supplementing in
stead of thwarting the promise which has been
presupposed in the higher development Of the
male parent

His wound was not necessarily fatal. Gen

gerry was adequate for its control by an extern
porized tourniquet, had he been aware or re-

surgeon, had attended his person during most of
the morning; but, finding a large number of
wounded men, including many federals, at one
point, General Johnston ordered Yandell to stop
there, establish hospital, and give them his
services He said to Yandell: These men were

Some new and exquisite styles in cups have
been introduced at the afternoon teas which are
so numerous and fashionable.
In Paris the newest dinner party cards are of

The world does not know how many young
ladies anoint their hands with cold cream every
night and sleep with kid gloves on.

that very long, sweeping trains, such as were

There is an evident growth of the fashion
among asinine young men of wearing bracelets,
said to have been put and locked on the silly

Skirts and vests of India shawls as fronts for
black silk costumes are highly fashionable, and
it may be remarked that Mrs. Langtry is cred

Fringed and fancy table-cloths and napkins
