Fun for the COLLEGE Rows

Some OF the residents of that portion of the
city near the Red bridge were treated to a
novel sight the other evening They saw a
party Of about twenty young men drive down
TO the Seekonk in hacks, and as soon as they
ahghted seven of them were taken in hand
and escorted to the top of the sand bank.
There the seven had their hands tied behind
them and hoods were placed over their heads
1t then became apparent that the party came
from Brown university and that the seven
unfortunates were candidates for admission
to one Of the secret orders of the colIepe
When all was ready the victims were asked if
they were brave men. One of them ayowed
that ne had a leaning toward that direction,
but he did not make known that fact with
any remarkable degree of righteousness
The others looked as though they were afraid
some one would say traits" Alta given signal
the seven were sent spinning down the sand
bank like SO many barrels, and when at the
bottom of the incline they were picked I'D.
placed on their feet and again Intercepted.
but in so low a tone of voice that that portion
of the mysterious rites was lost to the specta-
tors. When satisfactory answers were given
the candidates were led to the very edge of
the river and given a shove, which sent them
sprawling into the water. Fortunately there
was but little depth of water, and+he victims.
after spluttering and plunging about, We're
brought ashore.
Next they were taken to place near the
boathcuse, where they were backed up to a
faucet. Their pantaloon waists were then
stretched out, and the faucet slipped in, and
before they could realize the intent of the
'degree team" their backs were fairly SWIM
ming with cold Pawtuxet water There were
other steps toward the throne of the mystic
brotherhood, such as having water poured
down their necks, beng fastened Co stakes
and told TO remain there until the tide came
up and washed the freshman seeds off their
garments, and lastly being located on a curb
stone, with instructions to wait for further
orders. One of the young fellows had a
trick played on him not down in the ritual of
the society. An East Providence man came
along, saw the blindfolded candidates stand
Ing like beggars, with hands open as if for
aims, and grasping the situation calmly re-
moved quid for which be had 10 further
use and left it in the victims hands Hav-
ing thus led the candidates through the mys-
ferrous gates Of the society the degree team
bundled them into hacks, and the party drove
off to the college in pursuit Of other intellec-

An Opera Managers Ruse.

A French opera manager was in despair at
the prospect Of having to produce "L'Afri-
caine" with white negroes in the ballet, be-
cause the dancers refused to black their faces
for fear it would injure their compilations.
He issued an order, however, that all the
young and pretty girls must color their faces,
because it would do them no harm, while the
old and plain ones would be allowed to APP
pear without black faces, because they had
more need to take care of their looks The re-
suit was that every blessed one of the girls
tried to get on more black than any of the
others, and when the ballet was on the stage
half dozen extra calciums had to be used to
keep the audience from thinking the lights
had all gone out.-Nsw York Sun.

The Clerks and the Customers.

The trouble with the clerk is a superabund-
ance of inflated ideas regarding the import
ance of himself and his position. Instead Of
filling his proper place as the servant of the
public he assumes lordly air, apes feminine
talk and ways and welcomes male customers
with a crushing glare OF course there are
exceptions. There are clerks in the large
dry goods stores who know their place and
their business, and by remarkable coinci-
dence they are almost confined to one nation
ality-the Scotch. Experience has shown
many of the great dry goods houses that
Scotchmen make the best salesmen.
The Americans are sometimes suffering
with the big head, and besides assuming to
know more than the proprietor, do not hest
tate to indicate to the male customer any
shortcoming that they may observe. To the
women they are more polite, and it is only
the preference Of women for male clerks that
keeps them in the business. 1t has been
found that women can transact their bust
ness with men much more satisfactorily than
with women. When woman approaches
counter behind which saleSlady is manip-
ulating ribbons, the chances sire ten to one
that the saleslsdy viii first critically observe
the wearing apparel Of the customer If it
doesn't come up to the salesladyIs ideas of
what constitutes a proper outfit, the sales
lsdy's nose will probably assume a crushing
elevation and she viii proceed to unravel the
ribbons with an air that says: II am Just as
good as you, if am here. st Lofts Repub-

REMARKS OF A PHYSICIAN.
A Cure for chapped Lips and Study q
the Cause of WRINKLES

A Cure for chapped Lips and a Study Of
the Cause of Wrinkles.
GAS soon as the cold winds begin to blow,
remarked physician, 81 am overrun with
patients suffering from chapped lips. The
trouble generally manifests itself in one wide
cut in the middle Of the lip. used to treas
such things as laughing matter and pre-
scribe some simple emollient, such as glycer-
inc, for instance. But / soon found that
such treatment was only temporary remedy,
for after partially healing the cut would open
at the slightest e1ertion of the lips The
mere act of biting anything hard, laughing
or yawning would make the unfortunate
howl with pain If the patient was addicted
to the use of tobacco the chances were that
+ he would have bad lip all through the win
ter. In my researches for permanent cure
ran across an old tramp printer who had
rubbed against the rough side of the world
all his life, and for whom every season had
been cold day. He told me that if inves-
tigated the matter would find that the peo-
pie addicted to chapped lips were in the habit
of touching them with their tongues. A sure
cure, said he, is to keep your tongue in your
mouth. have since followed his suggestion
in my practice and never knew it to fail The
rough skin of the tongue scratches the lips,
and when they have once become chapped
the least contact is enough to keep the cut
open.
~ have recently been making study Of
wrinkles" continued the DOCTOR "It is Gus
tomary to say that wrinkles come from wor-
rying, but the truth is that most of them
come from laughing. This is rather para
doxical, must admit, but have been only
convinced after the most careful investiga-
ton. To know how to laugh is just as i'm
portant as to know when totlo it, II you
laugh with the sides of your face the skin
Will work loose in time and wrinkles will
form in exact accordance with what kind Of
a laugh you have. The man who always
wears snirk will have series Of selui-cir-.
cular wrinkles covering his cheeks. When
gambler, who has been accustomed to sup
pressing his feelings, laughs, a deep line
forms on each side of his nose and runs to the
upper corner of his mouth In time this line
extends to the chin and assumes the shape Of
a half moon.
"a cadaverous person with waxlike skin
IS very apt to have two broadly marked
wrinkles, one running up from the jaw and
the other under the eye. These meet at
right angles at the cheekbone and look as
though they formed a knot at the apex The
scholars wrinkles form on his brow, while
the schening politicians come around his
eyes, where they look for all the world like
the spokes of a wheel Some of the fat women
who bet on horses have the most astonishing
crop of wrinkles 1 ever saw outside of an ele-
plant. One in particular was SO strongly
marked that whenever she smiled over a big
win the wrinkles in each cheek would form
themselves in the shape Of a perfect pretzel.-

A Queer Demand Mt Yienn,

The confectoners OF Vienna, at a meeting
held few weeks ago, claimed the monopoly
of the manufacture and sale of ice cream, as
against the coffee houses, restaurants and
other places purveying that fashionable relish
to the public They took their stand upon the
privileges of the obsolete guilds, and applied
to the chamber Of commerce and industry
for an opinion, which said: Everybody. a
cook as well as a baker or publican, is entitled
to make and sell ice cream without passing
al examination and proving his ability to do
it." That decision is nothing remarkable
but it is remarkable that a demand for s,,ch
a monopoly could be advanced by number
of sane business men in this day Of ours

HER TITLE DEEDS.

Inside the cottage door she sits
Just where the sunlight, softest there,
SLAMS down on snowy kerchief's bands.
On folded hands and silvered hair.
The garden pale her world shuts in,
simple world, made sweet with thyme,
Where life, soft lulled by droning bees,
Flows to the mill streams lapsing rhyme.
Poor are her cottage walls and bare,
Too mean and small to harbor pride,
Yet with a musing gaze she sees
Her broad domains extending wide.
Green slopes Of hills, and waving fields,
With blooming hedges set between,
Through shifting veils of tender mist
Smiles, half revealed, a mingled scene.
All hers-for lovingly she holds
yellow packet in her hand,
Whose ancient, faded script procleims
Her title to this spreading land
Old lettersl On the trembling page
Drop unawares unheeded tears.
These are her title deeds; her lands
Spread through the realms of bygone years.
