EDMUNDS AND BLAINE.
The Vermont Senator Snubbed by the
Man from Maine.

Man from Maine.
New York telegram.
Mr.. Blaine's refusal to take Senator Ed
munds proffered hand when they met in
the house Of the dead ex-President has
created sensation in political circles.
Many of Mr.. Blaine's friends regret the
occurrence, and say that it was unfortunate.
Others say that Mr. Blaine acted perfectly
right, and that Mr.. Edmunds' conduct JUS
tilted the rebuke. Mr.. Blaine refused to be
interviewed on the subject, but talked quito
freely to several intimate friends. One OF
them said:
MIR. Blaine made no response whatever
TO Mr.. Edmunds' greeting. This is what
happened: Mr.. Edmunds was seated on q
sofa when Mr.. Blaine entered the parlor.
Mr.. Blaine bowed to Colonel Mcllichael,
and Mr.. Edmunds advanced to greet Mr..
Il aine with his right hand extended, say
ing: Good morning. Mr.. Blaine. Dir.
Blaine was in the act of drawing off his
gloves. He gave the Vermonter quick
glance out of the corners of his eyes, and,
without any show of recognition, stepped
forward to shake hands with Colonel Nc
Michael. Mr.. Edmunds appeared sur
prised. His face flushed slightly, and he
retired to his seat on the sofa. Mr.. Blaine
expressed his regret at the occurrence to
Colonel McMichael, and shortly afterward
left the house.
Frank Hatton, who was Mr.. Arthur s
Postmaster General, in commenting on
the affair, said: Blaine knew peri sctly
we'll whom he was likely to meet at Gen.
Ar;hurs house, and if he did not care to
meet them he should have remained away.
If he had met Mr.. Edmunds on the street
or at public reception and refused to
speak TO him, it would have been another
matter; but under the circumstances think
his conduct indefensible from the stand
point of decency."

She Didn't Appreciate Ii.

"Why, Ashley, old man, you look de-
jected. What's the matter with you,
old fel?"
"To tell the truth, old chappie, do
feel rather rocky. Do you know, I've
just had the most painful experience
OF my life"
Indeed, now you don't say so, dear
boy. Well, I'm sorry for that. Come,
now. how was it, then?'
"Why, it was Miss Tuberose, you
know. I've been dead gone on her
almost ever since first knew her, and
this forenoon, do you know, l plucked
up courage and proposed. L fatter
myself did it in style, too. We were
out walking on the rocks together, and
when we came to lovely. secluded
spot 1 dropped my handkerchief on
the ground, knelt gracefully down
upon it and told her all my undying
passion. 'Beauteous creature said l.,
with fervor, your eyes are bright as
shining stars, and pierce my very soul.
Your cheek Is as the wild blush-rose,
your brow as alabaster fair. Ny love
for you can never die, but 1 can, and L
shall unless have your pity and your
love. oh, angel of my heart, wilt thou
be mine?' That's what l said. Sort
of blank verse, you see. Rather neat
proposal, too, L flatter myself. Don't
you think so?
Perfectly immense, dear boy. Per-
fectly immense And did she wilt?
What did she say?"

AN exhaustive article in the Liver
pool Journal Of Commerce deals with
the interesting subject of compass err
rors, and after enumerating instances
wherein arrangements in the needle
have been noticed upon the approach
of an umbrella, of volunteers with
rifles, of men wearing electric belts,
and, finally, of men impregnated with
iron tonics and other metallic solutions
concludes as follows: There are so
many causes to make compass go
wrong, that those who profess to know
everything have, it is evident, much to
learn. Masters of ships, whose certif-
Gates are liable to be cancelled or sus-
pended. should never rely solely on the
compass. They are useful and indis-
pensable navigation instruments, but
they may be misleading, and require
supplementing by the log, the lead and
the lookout"

One of Those Things Which q Woman
Never Forgets.

L must tell you something that happened
once in a country town, says London Truth,
where dishonesty in the educated classes is
not so safe as ii is in cities. A girl know
was one day ransacking an old dover chest
and found among other things long laid by
an old fashioned white lace veil. 1t was
about yard and one-quarter in length, and
was quite yard wide. The design was
heavy and rich along the edge and the rest
was "sprigged" with small orange buds. 1t
had been the wedding veil of some an
cestress The lace was beautifully fine old
Brussels, and, of course. was valuable.
The girl was so delighted to find it, rolled
up among lot of old linen, that she i'm
petuously dragged it out of the chest, and
in doing so caught one corner of il on a
wretched rail that lurked unseen inside the
big box. However, she darned it SO skill
fully that it hardly showed, and she used
to wear this veil as u fichu, and lovely it
looked.
One very hot day, at a garden party, she
left it in the bed room of her hostess, and,
coming up to got it in the evening. could
not find it anywhere. 1t had disappeared,
and, though she was very sorry just at first,
she soon forgot all about it, as girls will.
She married and went TO India with her
husband. Her mother left the village. But
last year, when my old friend was home
with her husband on furlough, they met
some old acquaintances who had place
near their former home, and being asked
to go and stay with them, they accepted.
On the very evening of their arrival there
was an amateur concert gotten up by the
musical people about, and, of course,
every one went, Jeanne and her husband
among the rest. They sat Immediately be-
hind girl whom jeanne had known for
merly, aud whom she recognized with
pleasure, caiy waiting FOR pause in the
performance TO attract her attention. Thfr.
however, she did very etfectually before
any pause came.
In a very piano part of the solo that wac
being sung, a loud whisper rang quite
audibly through the room. This was Jeanne,
who had found her long lost veil, recog-
nized her own dainty little stitches, and
uttered aloud, My darnp The girl before
her turned round, as did every one, and
when she saw Jeanne she grew as white as
the lace itself. You see, she had thought
herself quite safe in wearing it after that
long time, thinking Jeanne was in India.
What must she have felt when she turned
round and saw her sitting beside her2 The
veil was restored next day, and some
plausible explanation given which Jeanne
feigned to believe satisfactory. A woman
may forget her own child-women often do;
but what woman could forget her own darn?

WOMAN GOSSIP.
Styles In Stationery.

Fashionable correspondence paper has
the street and number in script or text on
the right hand top of the sheet. The day
of the week is also being revived, and
heads the top line. Wax realms its popz-
larity. A new spangled wax of several
colors and good deal Of gold is especially
stylish. New seals are OF crystal glass IN
colors. Some have the initial engraved
upon them, or the Christian name, and
others n motto. Crests are gaining in Ia
vor. Those who have a family crest are
using it on paper and seal, and good
many who have not one are adopting
something that suits their fancy.
Mourning stationery? II remains much
the same. There are three standard widths
for the black-edge, according to the rela-
tonship OF the moulner. The English
Grape is very popular. That also comes
In the three widths.
Motto note paper for the correspondence
OF young misses has some popular de-
signs, with motto significant of the pres
ent taste. One is Climbing Up the Gold
en- Stairs" in old gold another is, "Put
This on File" wlile a third is, "Alrs
Well"
Young people who affect novelties like

pink of she'll. Then there is across the
surface in the watermark fower-some-
thing popular, like a pansy, fuschia, or
primrose, or one which expresses some
sentiment. Sentiment takes. There is
variety of pink and white note paper which
is pretty and is called "Maiden's Blush"
A name often catches the popular taste.
Another variety is the Rainbow" that has
n ragged edge with the prsmatio colors.
Royal red" paper is very popular in some
cities. Ii is of a most brilliant hue, but il
is looked upon here as in very bad taste.
Red is, however, very fashionable in leather
goods, and especially popular for card
cases. Possibly red envelopes will in time
be used. There is new paper called
gilt tinted" 1t may answer for golden
weddings, but it is too expensive to be pop
ular for ordinary occasions. For special
occasions there is stationery that is sugges-
tive, such as crystal for crystal wedding,
or silver for the quarter of a century cele-
bration.
Correspondence cards are but little used,
note sheets being almost do rigueur. Call
ing cards, that is lady's card. is 34x23;
misses cards are 31x2f. Gentlemen use a
smaller one, 3lxla, and often even less in
size. Many ladies use their visiting card
for all small affairs, merely affixing the
date, characterizing the invitation with the
word dancing" "tea," music" ETC., in
the lower corner.

adequately tell of the destruction in
the city. There are crumbling walls,

devastation everywhere, but the people

terward, and it is going on vigorously

THE national health statistics, pre-
pared by DIR. Billings, show that in
proportion to the population there are
more deaths from pneumonia in New
York than in any other part. of the
country. DIR. Draper, of the New York
Meteorological Observatory, attributes
this to the presence of ozone in the at
mosphere; other authorities, finding
that the atmosphere of New York is
very deficient in ozone, think it is due
to the absence of that healthful ele-
ment.

THE names given to most of the
steeds of the ancient gods and the
names attributed to them are typical.
Thus the gray horse of Odin, called
"Sleipnir," had eight legs, and could
traverse land, sea, or air. The horse
typifies the wind which blows over land
and water from eight principal points.
~Al Borak" (the lightning) was the
mare which carried Mohammed from
earth to the seventh heaven. The AMI
NAL was brought to Mohammed by the
Angel Gabriel for the trip. 1t was
milk-white, had the wings of an eagle,
and a human face, with the cheeks of a
horse Every bound she took was
equal to the farthest range of human
vision. For the service she performed
on her trip to the seventh heaven the
mare was admitted to heaven-at least
to the Moslem heaven or paradise.

Hotel men of New York are all
happy. There has not been time in
several years when the hotels were so
full of guests as at present. Just what
causes this rush of people to New York
no one seems to know. The one thing
that hotel men know is that they have
the custom and that it is profitable to
their pockets. The impression is that
the influx is due to the better condition
of business, which has sent large num-
bers of persons to the metropolis to
buy goods and make business arrange
ments of various kinds.

THERE is Russian who keeps a
saloon in Detroit, and he is fond Of
caviare. As he always insisted that
the caviare sold there could not COM
pare with what could be had in Rus
STA, he finally wrote over to Russia and
asked his friends to send him a can of
the caviare that was most popular at
that time in st. Petersburg. After a
long interval the caviare arrived. On
taking off the wrappings he saw on the
label of the can that it was put up by
canning company in Detroit and was
warranted to be made of the best roe
of Lake st. Clair sturgeon.

WHEN Prince William of Prussia
visited the Russian Emperor on the
occasion of the recent imperial hunt at
Brest-Litovsk the Gear found himself
without Prussian uniform, and the
consequence was that q messenger had
to travel all the way from ST. Peters
burg by special train to repair the de-
ficiency. The Gar discovered his loss
the afternoon before Prince Williams
arrival. Sending word to his valet to
have Prussian uniform in readiness
for the morrow, the man appeared to
say that by his imperial masters
orders all uniforms had been left at st.
Petersburg. An aid-de-camp was
sent tor. "A Prussian uniform must
be here by o'clock tomorrow morn
ing" 1t was then IL o'clock. The
aid-de-camp dispatched two kilograms,
one TO the master of the imperial ward
robe at ST. Petersburg, and the other
to the railway authorities, and about
o'clock locomotive set off from the
Russian capital carrying the messenger
intrusted with the required dress.
Fresh locomotives were in readiness at
Dunaberg and wilma, and the distance
OF $50 kilometres was traversed in
