London Leads the World.

Detroit Free Press: London, with
the single exception, possibly of Rome,
is the only capital in Europe where the
festivities of a court are to be enioyed.
Berlin was never very gay, and now
that the emperor and empress have be-
come SO very old the social clements of
court life have become extremely prim-
tive, as well rs formal and restricted.
The naughty aristocracy of Vienna de-
cline to receive at their entertainments
any foreigner below the rank of a
prince, even the attaches of the differ
ent Legations having but a dismal time
of it. Since France became "A republic
the social prestige of Paris has wholly
vanished.
Spain and Portugal are too far out
of the beaten track, more especially
the latter, and the stiff etiquette pre-
vailing at both courts renders them
anything but popular. Since King
Humbert assembled the throne of Italy
he and his fair wife have done much
to make Rome "a brilliant and IN at
tractive social centre. But it is now
an undoubted fact that London, during
the season, has taken the place which
~ occupied under the second empire
by Paris, in the affections OF society
lovers IN both sides of the Atlantic.

Edison's Sheep.

See what ar intelligent telegraph
operator did for the Western Union
company down in Texas. Mr.. Edison
had a dog of great price named Shep.
and, wishing 10 have him shipped TO
him, he telegraphed home: ''Send
Shep by first train" The brainy oper-
ator thought Mr.. Edison ought to
know how TO spell better than that, and
so he corrected him, and sent the dis
patch as follows: Send sheep by
first train" As Edison was a sheep
raiser, his hired men put his entire
flock on the ears, and in a day or two
he received notice that they were at
hand. Just then a storm came up and
many of them fell sick. Before he
could get them back to his ranch half
of them were dead, and the affair cost
him a great deal of money. He is now
suing the company for damages and is
liable to get them.

HATS. HIGH OR LOW.

The pride of woman has in modern
days built up such a high hat that
mankind can't stand it, and now re-
fuses to crouch behind the tall peak,
and ut the theater a hat Of that sort
must come of. 1t is not surprising that
when a fellow goes to the theater, after
having paid $40 for his wife's hat, he
sheuld be irritated to find that he has
paid $3.50 more for the privilege OF
seeing some ether fellows wife's hat
Just in front Of him. For if a lady is
there, and she generally is, the hat is
all that he can see. Men were con
tented to strain their necks to peer
over the old-fashioned ~low-crowned
hats, but when it comes to putting them
out of joint and humping each others
heads in trying to look below the brim,
they won't, they can't do it. Speak
ing justly, they ought not to DO asked
To do il.

THE RAMONA H

Helen Hunts monument is not the
piled stone which covers her grave in
the mountains. 1t is the Ramona
school for Indian girls at Santa Fe,
New Mexico, founded in honor of the
woman whose impassioned story of
..Ramona'' woke the nation to a
sense of the merciless wrongs done by
the Argonauts to the Indians of Cali
fornia. For TIVE hundred years the
Apaches, in all respects the congeners
in the south of the terrible Sioux in the
north, held at bay the soldiers of Spain,
Mexico and the United States. With
what skill and ferocity they fought;
how they marched without water, food
or rest; how terribly they struck, and
swiftly disappeared; how their insig-
nifioant number kept n of our great
territories unpeopled, and shut our
bravest prospectors and miners out
from one of the richest mineral areas
of the continent, the people of the
United States too well know. There
was fitness in the thought to honor
the memory of the brave and good
woman who wrote Ramona" by es-
tablishing in the Rocky mountains Il
school to train Apache girls GU of
murderous savagery into all the de-
oencies of civilization, and giving TO il
the name of Helen Hunts immortal
story.
