salvation Army Clothes.

A certain very stylish young lady
who drives a good deal got into a
horse-car in the exclusive Boston SUI
burb where she lives, the other day,
wearing her new coacbman's jacket Of
rather gay red cloth, trimmed effective
ly with brass buttons. She was going
to make morning call on friend
only few streets away, and, as she
wished to show the young lady her
new accoutrements, she wore her gay
jacket and rather striking hat which
goes with it. Scarcely had she seated
herself in the car when an eager-voiced
old woman sitting near said socially:
''You belong to the Salvation Army,
don't you?"
The swell young lady was little
startled, but she said ''naow'' coldly,
and turned little away from her
neighbor.
but you must" persisted the
old lady. "Them's Salvation Army
clothes!H
Fortunately by this time the car was
at her friends corner, and, stopping it,
the prosecuted wearer of spring fash
ions hurried out and into the house and
into her friends arms, where, after a
''good cry she rose to a sense of the
essentially funny nature of the situa-
ton.

1.-Two Stock In Illinois,

The latest statistical compilation Of the
State Board Of Agriculture among other matters
contains the census, weight, value, ETC., Of the
live stock Of Illinois. From these some CON-
PARSONS are made. A curious fact ie, that ILL
nois sold nearly as many pounds Of butter as OF
mutton last year-namely: Mutton, live weight,
20, 69l ,213 pounds; butter, 20, 1861 2O pounds.
OF cheese only 2,sl2, 26o pounds were sold.
Wool aggregating 1888, sos pounds was the
clip OF Illinois last year. The number OF sheep
assessed was s53, 933, and the average weight OF
those marketed 90 pounds.
The number Of horned cattle in Illinois last
year was 2,l66,059. the number marketed 497.-
$3.50, the average live weight 1,lOl pounds, and
the average price 395 per 100 pounds.
In hogs Illinois is great. The assessed num-
Der in 1885 was s,s5s,03O, the number marketed
:, 2os,145, the average weight 239 pounds, and
average price s. 50 per 100 pounds
Another curious fact IL that the average price
OF pork should be go near that of cattle. 1t
must be remembered, however, that the relation
OF cffal to flesh is much higher in hogs than in
cattle.

Ellen Tsrry's Matrimonial Experiences.
George F. Watts, the famous portrait
painter, upon whom Queen Victoria
has recently co lferred the honor of a
baronetcy, also enjoys the distinction
OF being the first, if not the only man
that Ellen Terry, the charming English
actress, ever loved. Judged by the
proverb ''the course of true love never
did run SMOOTH her affection was GER
tainly true, for the course was so de-
cidedly rough that after thirteen years
OF married life it ended in divorce.
The story that is told of this first love
affair OF Miss Terry is decidedly roman
tic. 1t was at an art exhibition in Lon
don, during the latter part of 1868, that
she met Watts for the first time. She
was then not quite II years of age,
having been born in 1917 at Coventry,
the town made world-famous by Lady
Godlva and ''Peeping Tom" Her nrst
appearance on any stage had been made
AT the Princess Theatre, London, as the
child Mamilius, in "A Winters Tale."
April 70, 1856. She had continued in
the profession from that date. At the
time Of her meeting with Watts she had
played some prominent juvenile parts,
and was regarded as an exceptionally
promising young actress, As she stood
looking at an exquisitely-painted por-
trait of beautiful lady she became so
los. IN admiration of it that she entirely
failed to notice a quiet, reserved gen
tleman, nearly thirty years her senior,
who stood near.
.'WLat a lovely portrait!' she in
voluntarily exclaimed. "How wish
could sit to the same artist!'

gentleman WHO had spoken, and who

sides and the acquaintance once begun

again Miss Terry once more put her
baud into the matrimonial grab bag in
November, 1877, and drew out Charlie
Kelley. an English actor, whose real
name is Wae'lell. But again she found
that she hAd failed to draw a prize.
After many futile attempts on the part
Of herself and Kelley to jog contented-

harness together, they agreed to disa-

a number of years.

daybreak train, and in girls aroused
from warm beds these chilly mornings

bubble forth much before midday.
But these forty girls are the jolliest
crowd imaginable, and they amuse
themselves in many ways on the train

sing. laugh and play cards. Yes, they
do play cards. A card party is one OF
tho regular pastimes of the girls on
the train.

most enthusiastic whist players among

James Russell Lowell in recent

the men of three centuries ago. said:
They were scholars because they did
not read so many things as we. They
had fewer books, but these were of the
best. Their speech was noble, because
they lunched with Plutarch and supped
with Plato. We spend as much time
over print as they did, but instead of
