An aDScnCc Ol clSnl years from

Chicago current of January l6, enabled
me to fetch together extremes of i'm.
provement which continuous resident

the National Capital great strides had
been made in the way of improved
streets; in my absence private enter

costly streets stretching over great
spaces into a dcsolate country, and |

costly equipages, and bewildering air

When to these we add the trees and
shrubbery that make park-llke open

years. OF course one's mind reverts to
the extraordinary man whose courage,

Gallantry of College Boys.

There was an incident just prior to
the recent, graduation exercises at
Dartmouth College which prettily il
lustrated the proverbial gallantry of
the students OF that institution. Pro-
fessor Lord was delivering an exceed
ingly pleasant series OF lectures on his
last years travels in Italy before an
attentive audience OF students. Be-
hind the professorsat hispretty niece,
who had accompanied him on his Jour
ney through Italy. The professor was
advancing his view, quite arevolution-
ary one, by the way, that the amount
OF beauty OF all sorts that is to be
seen in Italy has been greatly exag-
gerated. "1t is far from being q land
where all is beautiful" said he. "In-
deed, will tell you what may surprise
you'll did not see asingle pretty ~om-
an during all my travels in Italy"
This remark was followed by cho-
rus OF slight coughs that arose from
different parts OF the room. The pro-
fessor was about to proceed when the
chorus OF coughs grew louder and
stronger. He began to think that
something was wrong, and then re-
called what he had said, glancing
around at his niece at the same mo-
ment. During all my sojourn in It.
aly," he repeated, ri saw not a single
beautiful woman who was a native OF
the country" This remark was fol-
lowed by applause, and the professor
went en- with his lecture.

Chaperoning Denounced.

The st. Louis Republican objects to
the practice OF chaperoning young
ladies, which has been imported with
other fashions from Europe, and has
its say upon the subject in this vigor-
GUS western fashion: The average
western American girl has not yet been
civilized up to those standards which
prevail along our well-bred eastern
coast. She has not been sophisticated
into condition wherein she must ad-
vertise her moral fragility in order to
be accepted among the elect. She is
pure not because opportunity has
been prevented, but because purity
has been her education and her life.
She has drawn her innocence from her
mothers breast, and she will instil it
into her own daughters in their turn.
Her own strength, not the vigilance OF
her guardians. is her protector. She
is her own best chaperon. All men
are not scoundrels, rogues and brutes,
and the western girl who cannot dis
tinguish between the safe man and the
unsafe one is q rare, infrequent pro-
duct OF our savage states. The
chaperon is an indictment against the
men as we'll as against the women.
We know that a girl OF dignity and
self-respect can travel this continent
across from Eastport to Los An
geles without other protection than

ly enough, the further one comes from
the higher civilization OF the Atlantic
coast the more ready, the more court
eous, the more painstaking is the care
given to womanhood by the tougher
and coarser men OF the West. In
Paris and London, and as far as the
gentlemen have been educated up to
European models in New York and
| Boston, any woman alone in the
street after certain hours OF the day is
| fair game for insult. In st. Louis, in
New Orleans, in Denver or in San
Francisco it needs q great deal more
grit than one could find among all the
little dudes OF Manhattan put together
| to interfere with a girl who does not
| invite and sanction the interference.
Perhaps more significant exposition
OF the inherent difference between the
sections lies in the fact that man

respect themselves, and our boys re.

the companionship graces one sex and
strengthens the other. A change OF

Capital and Credit Abroad.

Carp writes from Glasgow to the
Cleveland Leader and Herald: Both
in Ireland and Scotland the credit
system in regard to all purchases
exists to great degree. In Dublin all
the leading stores show in their win.
dows cards giving the prices of the
various kinds of goods shown. Upon
these cards is the credit price and the
cash price, which, as rule, is five, ten
and sometimes more per cent. lower.
Books, as rule, are sold in most
stores at discount of twenty per
cent, and when bought suit Of
clothes | got five per cent. of for cash.
As to capital, it seems to be very
plenty, and money can be gotten oh
good security at from three to five
per cent. Banks pay often one and
one-half per cent. on deposits, and the
banks OF Scotland, as those of Ireland,
are big institutions. The bank OF
Scotland is perhaps the largest, and it
has grand buildings in Glasgow and
Edinburgh and branch banks every
where. These banks OF Scotland are
generally sound, and a failure is
rare occurrence. They are limited
liability companies and receive de-
posits as low as $50.

Doing it "On the sly."

. The Boston Record is responsible
for the following: Bishop Williams,
OF Connecticut, aman warmly esteem
ed by all sorts and conditions of men,
and even more so by children, was
making one of his episcopal visitations,
and was the guest OF fthe rector hewas
visiting. The rector who was a
rigorous man III the training of his
children, had a little boy years old
who was a great favorite with the
Bishop, and of whom, in turn, the
Bishop was much beloved. On Sunday
afternoon the Bishop and the boy were
left alone for while in the rector's
study and were chatting comfortably.
Let us look at your picture book
said the Bishop. All right SAID the
boy. He brought the pictnre-book,
laid it on the right reverend lap OF his
guest, and then went furtively back
and closed the study door. 'We'llhave
to do it on the sly Bishop you knowl'
said he with grin. The next Sunday,
the historian is told, the Bishop preach
ed a magnificent sermon on the sin of
over-Iighteousness."

Sir. Thomas Brassy published in the

but to the form of her helm. On the inn
portant points in seaworthiness and sta
bility ut considerable angles with the keel,
he thinks that n serious trial at sea would
probably show that the Americans have
done the best they could under the cordi-
tions imposed upon them. 1t is for the
yacht clubs and societies to consider
whether their conditions are calculated to
secure the utmost perfection OF form in

In the throes OF rheumatism, which has
reached the inflammatory stage, the inva-
lid has just cause to deplore the inefficien-
cy OF medicines which could neither uproct
the disease at it's outstart, nor avert it's
dreaded climax. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is medicine which, without the
danger attending the use Of some OF the or.
dinary specifics for this malndy, is infinite
ly more searching and effective. Used at
the start, it checks the progress OF the dis
ease and expels, or Leutrali zcs, the rheu-
matte virus in the blood. Who so takes it
incurs no risk, and is sure to be benefited.
Valuable in rheumatism it is equally eff
catious as remedy for neuralgia. liver

bility, and inactivity of the kidneys and
bladder. 1t may, also. be relied upon to
promote sleep and appetite.

Sir Charles Dixie is understood to have
finally decided the manner in which he will
enter the business OF journalism, and it
will not be probably in any editorial ca

has no direct influence on his course, for
his position will be that OF an unpaid vol
