A man by the name of Adam Won Fleckinger, having applied for a license as an innkeeper, was granted it only on condition of his dscarding the "von" and becoming a plain Herr Fleckinger as long as he sold beer. This, the magistrate explained, was in accordance with an old statute of the city of Nuremberg.

are lower than 600 feet. Indeed, 1t lies in the very nature of the case that, even if they exist, they should remain un- known, and that, if they were known, they would hardly repay the cost of fishing while it is conducted on the pres ent system. They are scattered all along the coasts of the Mediterranean, sometimes close to the shore, and some times at twenty-four, or even thirty, hours hard rowing from it. At many stations there is small local fishery; but the bulk of the trade, at least in Italy, is in the hands of large firms, which, for the most part. have their centers in Genoa, Leghorn or the Bay of Naples.
 These firms both supply and equip the boats, which, according to the size, are manned by five or ten fishermen. In addition to these padrone is allotted to each, who exercises large disciplinary powers. He is man of Knowledge and experience, and usually receives per centage on the value of the seasons take, as well as his regular pay. The selection of the crew of his boat is oft en left entirely to him; he is always consulted with respect to it, and enjoys a right of veto. The men are hired for the season, by agreement, for from sixty to seventy francs month, large part of which is usually paid beforehand, and their food, which is of the coarsest kind. As a rule, the season lasts from April to the end of September, but it depends greatly on the weather, as fish ing IS impossible in mist or when the sea is high.
 The labor is exceedingly hard. At dawn the padrone calls his men, and, after short prayer, the net is lowered; from then till sunset the work continues almost without interruption, The ex- ertion required to let down and wind up the net under blazing summer sun is extreme, and it has to be done on ship-biscuit of the coarsest kind and water that on the more distant sta tions has often become foul by long keeping. In the evening sort of soup is made Garlic and peperoni. the pungent fruit of southern plant, are boiled in water; olive oil is added, and this is poured over biscuits which have been broken and placed in dish. For months this diet is hardly varied, and ye' the men retain their good spirits. After the evening meal has been taken, they indulge in guitar-playing and singing, and on the more frequented banks the boats answer and vie with each other.-London Saturday RevieoO.

John Fletcher, of Virginia City, New, was awakened the other night by his mare, which had been running in a pasture with her colt Fletcher tried to drive her away, but she wouldn't t go. At length he noticed that the colt was nekswith her, and he followed the mare. She ran on ahead of him, continually turning to see if he was coming, and thus led him to an old prospect hole into which the colt had fallen. With the.help of neighbors the colt was rescued, and the mother, hith- erto very shy, was. almost frantic with delight. She followed Fletcher about, rubbing her nose against his shoulder, and gave pnmistakable signs of grati' tuda.

The human body is much like a good clock or watch in its movements; if one goes too slow or too fast, so follow all the others, and bad time results; if one organ or set of organs works imperfectly, pelver- sion of functional effort of all the organs is sure to follow. Hence it is that the nu- merous ailments which make woman's life miserable are the direct issue of the abnor- mai action of the uterine system. For all that numerous class of symptoms-and ev- cry woman knows then-there is one un- failing remedy, Dr. Pierce's "Favorite Prescription" the favorite of the sex.

A Hat Which Takes Photographs.

The last new thing in hats beats all
that has gone before it, and is scarcely
likely to be equalcd by anything that can
follow after it. Herr Ludcrs, of Gorlitz,
has patented a Photographic hat-or a
photogrlphing hat. The novel head dress
contains in its upper part small photo
graphic apparatus and number of pre-
pared plates. In the front of the hat
there is small circular open, behind
which the lens is fixed. BY means OF 4
string on the outside of the hat its
wearcr, whenever he finds himself en- JOY
ing pleasant view or attended by IN
agreeable person, can instantaneously
photograph the landscape, the lady. or
the gentleman unconsciouSly within
range of his instrument.
The ha. will probably be in demand by
two sorts of pcrSons--by lovers and de-
tectives. The former by merely pulling
string, can set the image of his beloved
not only in his heart, but in his hat.
The gelatine-bromidc plates in the spcci-
men exhibited by Herr Lnlcrs are 3Sx3S
millimetres in size; but, if one does OBJ
ject to wearing a very large hat, the
plates may be proportionally increased in
size. The potcntiality of the hat for po-
lice purposes hardly needs to be de.

Society Expenses in New York.

"How much does it cost to keep IN
the swim of society here2" "Well," said
the young man of whom asked the
question, writes a New York CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Press, "that
depends. The men, and espec. c.ally the
young ones, can keep in on very little,
for the burden of entertaining falls on
the unfortunate with household and a
couple of pretty daughters. The first
requisite for a young man is membership
in club. If he wants to 60 further, he
can have a room at the Brunswick, or
bachelor apartments elsewhere. In that
case it costs considerable for entertain
ing his 'set,' who drop in and out at all
hours. But with the exception of bou-
quets now and then, that is as far az he
need go. In fact the expense can be kept
down to cab hire and bouquets, if neces-
sary. The married man with daughter
or two has to have an open purse, though.
Each girl needs five ball and reception
dresses year, at 5000 apiece. His wife
will have to give at least one ball and say
half q dozen teas. He can't get out of
that at less than $4,000. His wife's
dresses can be set down for another thou
sand, while carriages, flowers and sup
pers will eat up what is left of $5, 900. I
am speaking now of people who are
forced to keep their expenses down.
Those in what is called the leading set
here spend all the way from $4,000 to
$4,000. I don't suppose Mrs. Astor,
Mrs. Lorillard or Mrs. Goelet spend
penny less than $4,000 year in So
ciety."

Women Who Work.

The report of Labor Commissioner
Peck, of New York, is an exceedingly
interesting and instructive document.
especially in that portion which refers to
the condition of the workingwomen ol
the State.
In the last century, so far as can be "a
certained, womens employmcnts in
towns were chiefly of domestic nature.
Young persons went out from the parent
al roof, either from choice or necessity, to
do domestic services for the ncighbors.
When steam machinery was first intro
duced and factory towns grew up. the
young women went to work at greater
distance from home; they received very
good wages for those simple days, and
the "Lowell young ladies" became al
most astereotyped expression in books of
travel written by visitors to the United
States. The war brought gfeat change
in The condition of women. The Ia rs
number of men who left home (some never
to return), to take part in that struggle
obliged large numbers of women to seek
their own living, and for the thousands
of positions left vacant by the absent
soldiers, women became substitutes. The
majority of them remained in employ
ment after the war.
To-day, however, women are found in
the following trades, manufactures and
professions:
Artificial flowers and leaves, awnings,
bedding supplies, blank books, paper

The Boys and Mince-Pies.

"They all dol" "They all don't! Ny
mother has never put drop Of brandy
into her mince-pies since the day Bob
said he could taste the brandy, and it
tasted good. Mother said then it was
wrong, and she'll never be guilty of it
again; and if my mother says thing is
wrong, you may be assured it is wrong,
for what mother knows, she knows"
Chow about mince-pies9 are you sure
she Knows how to make a mince-pie
good?" and laugh went up from a group
of girls gathered over the register of the
recisation-room eating their lunch. But
some of them WINGED little, when back
were tossed the words:
''If she don't, she knows how to make
q boy good; and isn't a boy worth more
than mince- -pie?"-Pioaeer.

TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT,
Who Would be a Drunkard?

Who Would be q Drunkard?
He who would be q drunkard, must begin
With just one glass and not another
drop;
Sip sparingly, as if he knew 'twere sin,
TO deeply drink, not knowing when to
stop.
He finds himself oerwhelmod with grief and
Thinks that single glass will do him
Twill cheer him, give him courage for to
The ills of life with Christian fortitude.
The first step in the art Of drinking taken,
The second is much easier; is it not!
A sober resolution may be shaken,
A single glass may make the future sot.
He who would be drunkard, let him stiae
The still small voice Of conscience while he
sups,
Think that mothers love is but trif1e,
Forget a fathers precepts in his moderate
cups.
The final stage is reached; Remorse, De-
Spair!
His downward course at last has found
The youth whose prospects once looked bright
and fair
A shipwrecked body and a ruined soul.

Legal PhraseOlOgy.

If a man would, according to law, give
to another an orange, instead of saying:
81 give you that orange" which one
would think would be what is called in
legal phraseology ''an absolute convey
ance Of all right and title therein" the
phrase would run thus: 81 give you all
and singular my estate and interest,
right, title and claim, and advantage of,
ali in and to that orange, with ali its
rind, skin, juice, pulp and pips, and all
right and advantage therein, with full
power to bite, cut, suck and otherwise
eat the same, or give the same away as
fully and effectualfy as I, said A. B., am
now entitled to bite, cut, suck or other
wise cat the same orange, or give the
same away with or without its rind,
juice. pulp and pips, anything heretofore
or hereafter, or in any other deeds, in
strument or instruments of what nature
or kind soever to the contrary in any
wise notwithstanding."-HaWs Journal

A Professional Shopper.

A Professional Shopper.
'tDo you see that woman going there2"
"What about her?'
"She's professional shopper.
"What's professional shopper"
"a woman who goes shopping every
day and. never buys anything. There's
lots of them in Cincinnati, and they're a
nuisance, too. They come into store,
walk around, examine everything, ask
questions without end, and then walk
out without making single purchase.
Wives of some of the most prominent
men in the city do it. They have no
other way to kill time. Often o fine
team will drive up to the door; an ele-
gantly dressed woman will alight; she
enters the store; examines expensive gar
ments, has something sent home on ap-
probation. Next day the package is
returned. It doesn't suit. If you would
take the trouble to inquire you would
find the same woman had done the same
thing at several places on the same day.

RELIGIOUS READING.
A Good Illustration.

Canon Liddon was lately advocating
the public acknowledgment of Christ IN
a sermon at St. Paul's. London. There
were, he said, workshops where fierce
scowl would be the herald of more active
opposition if the claims of Christianity
were acknowledged or pressed, and In
the clubs of the educated classes there
was not the less bitter curl of the mouth
and the. contemptuous shrug of the
shoulders for those who generally pro-
fessed Christ. And here followed the
remarkable illustration. The preacher
related that fifty years ago, at a dinner
party which was given in the West End
of London, when the ladies had retired
the conversation of the gentlemen turned
on what Ito describe it no more closely
was dishonoring to Christ as our Lord.
One guest was silent, and presently he
asked that the bell might be rung. On
the appearance of the servant he ordered
his carriage, and with perfect and pol
ishcd courtesy he apologized to his host
for his enforced departure, for he was
still a Christian. The canon proceeded:
CAN will think it must have been
bishop or at least a clergyman. 1t was
not; he was then a rising member OF
parliament, and became the popular
prime minister of the early days OF
Queen Victoria's reign. 1t was the late
Sir Robert Peel"

It would seem, with so many ways
open, as though there might be work for
all; but most Of these avenues are, un-
fortunately, narrow, and the inferiority
of women's wages to those of men is at
tributed to the ordinary laws of supply
and demand, not that there are more
women actually seeking employment, but
that the number in particular trades is
greater. Then, too, men have their or
CARNATIONS to fix wages in nearly every
branch of trade, which is great power.
There are some professions IN which
women receive equal pay with men for
equal work, but in nearly all such cases
women are organized, as the printers and
hatters.
