man and HI. Rest Girl.

The Rev. E. d. Huntley. formerly
of this city, lectured recently in
Baltimore on The Girl TO love and
how to Treat Her." Among other
things he said that the girl for the
average American citizen to love
must keep herself abreast Of the
times. read the papers and be able
to talk politics. in addition to put
ting up with the little Weaknesses of
her husband. II he wants to smoke
she should let him smoke at home,
and not drive him for that indnlg-
ence to the nearest saloon. She
must know how to economize, and
not illuminate the whole house with
a full head of gas in each room.
Men shouldn't tell their sweethearts
they will give them precious stones;
they will probably have to come
down to Rhine stones. Neither
should they quote their mothers.
Mother quoting is the most fruitful
source of domestic infelicity and
must be avoided above all things

q Bank.

Mr.. Gerke. one of the Directors of
the Metropolitan Bank, was also a
tolerably large depositor at the First
National. and occasionally used that
deposit, back and forth, to swell the
Metropolitian's credit. On last
Saturday, the last banking day but
one of the Metropolitan's business
life, he was sitting in the Directors
room of the bank when it occurred
to him to tap the First for $40 1000.
just to show that everything was
running smoothly. He sent his
check over by the Metropolitan's
messenger.
Certainly" said the First; Mr.
Gerke has that amount on deposit.
but we cannot pay it to a bank mes
.senger without the bank stamp.
You go back to Mr.. Gerke and have
the stamp put on it," The mes
senger went back and a row resulted.
He ought not to have exposed the
fact that Mr.. Gerke was there.
Finally, however, he returned with
the check duly stamped. and was
paid $4,000 in currency and $4,000
in Metropolitan checks which had
been deposited that day. 1t was
thus that the First unloaded.-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.

A Ciuder I'm the Eye.

DIR. r. W. st. Clair tells how a
few years since he was riding on an
engine when he caught a cinder in
his eye that caused the most ex-
cruciating pain. He began to rub
the afflicted organ, when the en-
gineer called out: LET that eye
alone and rub the other one. 1
know you doctors think you know it
all, but if you will let thai eye
alone and rub the other one, the
cinder will be out in two minutes"
persisted the engineer. The doctor
began to rub the other eye, and soon
felt the cinder down nea the inner
canthus, and made ready to take it
out. LET it alone, and keep at the
we'll eye!" shouted the doctor pro
TEN. He did SO for a minute longer
and looking in a small glass, found
the offender on his cheek. "Since
then" says DIR. st. Clair. 81 have
tried many times, and have advised
many others, and 1 have
known it to fail in one instance (un-
less it was as sharp As q piece Of
steel, or something that cut into the
ball and required an operation to re-
move it,. Why it is so I do not
know, but that it is so l do know.
and that one may be saved
much suffering if they will let the
injured eye alone and rub the we'll

She Served In .,.e Army.

Mrs. Hooker has appeared before
the Pension Board and made claim
to a pension on the ground that she
was an enlisted soldier of the late
war, served three years, and was
twice wounded. At the breaking
out of the war. Mr.. Hooker was ap-
pointed first lieutenant, and his wife
accompanied him to the front. She
was enabled to do this by a clever
piece of strategy. A young man,
who bore some resemblance TO her
was induced to submit himself to the
necessary examination. and when an
opportunity presented itself the
young woman, properly uniformed,
exchanged places with him. With

NANCY mKESzrE's BEAR.


Brings Death 90 Bruia.
While at Cheweia recently. says q
correspondent of the Birmingham
Herald. / met Nancy Mckenzie, q
noted half-breed woman, who is
known throughout the far North
west from Montana to Puget Sound.
She is a large-framed, tall woman,
about 60 years Of age. who takes
more after her Indian mother than
her Scotch father, who, as an en-
listed man in the service Of the
Hudson Bay Company, left his
home 10 the Orkney Islands about
rs years ago and sought wealth and
adventure in the untrodden and un-
known regions Of the Northwest.
Nancy grew to womanhood under
his tutelsge and round his camp fire
following him in his nigrations
from the buffalo-hunting grounds Of
Montana to the salmon creeks that
empty their waters into the great
Columbia, and to puget Sound.
where the wandering tribes Of
savages would congregate at certain
seasons to enjoy a time Of Incidence
and mirth. living on the water fowl
with which the inlets Of the sound
abounded, the saltwater fish that
could almost be had for the picking
up, and the clans that were then
and are still to be found in great
shoals on every sand beach. In her
younger days she must doubtless
have been a model for the sculptor
in physical development, for,
though aged and wrinkled, she is
still nearly six feet in height and
straight as the typical Indians, with
strong and deeply penciled features.
L was told q little story concern
ing her by a physician who lives
near by. He said that q few days
before he was out in the swamp
back of his house hunting pheasants,
when he heard the sharp crack OF a
rifle near at hand. Thinking it
was one of his neighbors who had
scared mp a deer in the swamp he
FASTENED to the spot, and found
Nancy Mckenzie with a smoking
gun in hand peering toward the
roots of an upturned fir Tree. On
asking her what she had shot she
replied in French = for she only
speaks Indian and French-that she
had shot a bear standing against the
root of the tree, and was not certain
whether or not she had killed him.
The doctor admitted that his knees
smote together a little when he
looked in the direction indicated and
saw q great shaggy object rolling
about on the ground. Nancy said
she was out of ammunition, and
asked him to give bruin a parting
shot. The doctor was q frank man.
and he again admitted that he shot
and that the bear died, but on ex-
animation it was found that he had
not touched O hair.

Electricity to Replace Servants.

We British are fond of having a
number Of servants in attendance
when we dine. Flunkeys with us are
supposed to have ears that hear not,
and eyes that see not, what their en-
ployers say and do. 1t would be inn
possible to suppose anything of the
sort in Paris. Masters and mistresses
dread the criticisms Of the servants
hall, and their highest idea OF dining.
room comfort is to be served by ma
chinery. The dinner-lift came into
fashion in the reign Of Louis XIV.
Electricity is now being used to ena-
BILE persons of wealth at dinners in
times to do without the waiter or the
maitre d'hotel. A miniature railway
is laid down on the dinner table and
continued on the same level into the
kitchen through an aperture in the
wall and an intermediate pantry.
Dishes come in and after making the
round of the table go out in a sort oil
small truck moved by electricity. The
truck at any moment can be made to
stop. 1t does its work admirably as a
dumb-waiter, and any amount OF art
can be lavished on it to give it a decor
alive beauty.-London Truth.

Champagne Dine Can Drink and
Not Pay.

A curious point OF law, which must
have often puzzled laymen, was de-
cided recently before the Judge of the
Clerkenwell County Court. When a
hamper OF wine or edibles is delivered
at a house without any notification Of
the source from which it comes, is the
recipient justified in thinking it a
present and consuming the contents
without being responsible for pay
ment? 1t is no secret that some en-
terprising tradesmen have sent such
a hamper at Christmas time and have
then called to demand payment fol-
the goods. In the case decided, how
ever, a box OF champagne was deliv-
cred to a gentleman by mistake, and
it was not until two months afterward
that the wine was called for. The
Judge held that the recipient OF the
wine had reasonable grounds for con-
sidering that the wine was a present
and fer drinking it, as he had done,
and accordingly refused to make him
answerable for the cost of the wine.
A contrary conclusion would certainly
have left the public very much at the
mercy of certain over-enterprising
tradesmen.-St. James Gazette.
