The Swell of Paris.

The swell in Paris does not need a tt
tie, though his blood must not be too re-
Gently mixed up with trade. He must,
above all other things, possess an agreea-
BILE and taking manner, sharpened by
wit and cleverness. The French laugh
at the solemnity and stupidity of Eng
lishmen Of high social pretensions, and
fail to understand how any man can sue
coed in society or in club life whose main
object seems to be to render himself as
disagreeable as possible to the people
whom he meets. The popularity of the
Partisan viver depends almost entirely
upon his jollity of manner and brilliancy
of talk. He invariably has some pursuit.
He is a capital swordsman, rides skill
fully, writes or dabbles in some of the
arts-but whatever he does is well done.
His life is one that would kill an
Anglo-Saxon. He breakfasts at 2 in the
afternoon, dimes at s and sups at Q in the
morning. The one pursuit in life which
engages all of his energies is the chase for
the favor of the woman who happens to
have Paris by the ears for the moment,
and he invariably runs several establish
ments, devoting a portion of his time
with punctilious politeness to his wife
and children. He plays bezique and
baccarat with a nerve that would make
a Mississippi gambler blush, and looks
60 years old before he has passed his 35th
year.-Blakely Halls Letter.

In n Human Hair Market.

There is a human hair market at Nor
lans, in the department of the Lower
Pyrenees. 1t is little known, except per-
haps in Paris, where it has a high repu-
tation. The market is held every other
Friday. Hundreds of trafficking hair
dressers throng to the little place from
far and near to buy up the hair of the
young peasant girls. The dealers wander
up and down the long narrow street of
the town, each with a huge pair of bright
shears hanging from a black leather strap
around his waist, while the young girls
who wish to part with their hair stand
about in the doorways, usually in cou-
pies.
The transaction is carried on in the
best room of the house. The hair is let
down, the tresses combed out and the
dealer names the price. This varies from
three TO twenty francs. If a bargain is
struck the dealer lays the money in the
open palm of the seller, applies his shears,
and in a minute the long tresses fall on
the floor. The purchaser rolls up the
t~resses, places them in paper ard thrusts
them into his pocket. OF course a maiden
can rarely see her fallen tresses disappear
into the dealers pocket without crying.
But she consoles herself with the thought
that it will grow again and by looking at
the money in her hand.-Emile Nouveau
in Philadelphia Times.

The Tailless N1anx Cat.

These ~tailless cats, by the way, merit q
paragraph by themselves. The Listener
is not aware whether they raise a special
breed of these creatures in Vermont, but
would not be surprised if they did. Yer
mont has Il way of improving upon what
ever animals she imports from abroad,
and getting up superior breeds of every
thing, from human beings down through
Morgan horses, Holstein cattle, merino
sheep and shepherd dogs to mo doubt
tailless cats. The tailless cat is supposed
to have originated in the Isle of Man, but
if The Listener is not mistaken, he has
also heard them called Cornish cats. The
two individuals just referred to are in
color something between a tortoise shell
and a maltese. One has a sort of rudi-
mentary stump tail, like a rabbits, and
the other has not 80 much as the vestige
of a tail. Both have a marked resem-
blance in the hinder parts to the rabbit,
and when they run it is with a series of
bounds like a rabbit. One would say
that the Manx cat and the rabbit were at
least distantly related. They are queer
birds, take them altogether Boston

Time the Bath Takes.

How long does it take to use the o
ing ''tub?' Mr.. Chadwick says twenty
minutes, which is surely an excessive es-
innate. But for those who want to ave
time over the operation, here is the latest
hint of sanitary science: GA French
colonel ascertained that he could wash
his men with tepid water for a centime,
or one-tenth of a penny per head, soap
included. The man undresses, steps into
a tray of tepid water, soaps himself,
when a Jet from a two handed pump
plays upon him tepid water, and he dries
and dresses himself in five minutes,
against twenty minutes in the bath, and
with five gallons of water against some
seventy in the usual bath. Pail Mall

From Top 10 Bottom.

A representative American thinker
lately said to me, that, contrasting the
operation of Anglo-Saxon institutions in
England with those in America, he most
important result, in his opinion, with
which we may credit ourselves on this
continent is the facility of individual
movement from the bottom to the top of
the social scale. This is a broad, patent
fact, which underlies and largely causes
that hopeful energy which permeates
even the lower strata of society in
America, and forms a striking contrast
to the social inertia and consequent men
tai inactivity of the lower classes of Eng
1 think, however, that we are bound
to qualify our satisfaction ON this point
by the equally manifest fact that the
facility of descent from the top to the
bottom of the same social scale is in
finitely greater in America than in Eng
land. Taking our society as a whole,
there is comparatively little conserva-
ton of force and culture along family
lines. The weakening influences of
wealth and high social position on the
young have no adequate corrective. The
ruling names in the society or politics of
one generation seldom repeat themselves
in the e Each generation has to hew
its best class out of rough material taken
from beneath. Now, success in life
which fails to transmit as an inheritance
force or culture or superiority of some
kind has failed in that point which
makes success most of all desirable. So
ciety itself is an immense loser where
the results Of success end with the indi-
vidual. 1t is a national calamity when
the grand advantages given by wealth
for attaining personal excellence are
thrown away.-George R. Parkin in The
Century.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.-The sher-

Mrs. Celia Hendricks at No. 1927 Girard

The creditors are several trades
men and retail firms. Mrs. Hen

loaned at various times some $4,000
upon the representation that Mrs. Hen

is stated that up to tonight creditors
whose claims aggregate over 500, 200
have been located. The amounts which
these people entrusted to the woman
range from $1,000 to $4,000, and IN
each case the money was given
willingly upon the representations
made by Mrs. Hendricks that she
had large fortune which was for the
time out of her reach. In one or two
instances she exhibited paper which

MANITOBA LEGISLATURE.
The House Will Dissolve and an
Appeal Taken to the People.

Special TO the Globe.
WINNIPEG. Man., Jan. 20.-In view of
the announcement this morning that it
was decided in the Conservative caucus
yesterday to oppose the reelection of
Greenway and his ministers, the new
government has practically decided to
dissolve the house and appeal forthwith
to the country. Greenway was seen at
the Grand Union this afternoon by a re-
porter, and he stated frankly that it was
almost certain the house would be i'm
mediately dissolved, as he presumed his
honor would grant the new government
the constitutional right of appeal to the
country. He was convinced that the
country, as well as the city of Winni-
peg, was overwhelmingly in favor of
the Liberals at present. and of the policy
he was prepared to enunciate. and
which had long been the policy of his
party. Little doubt existed in his mind
that his ministers would he retained any
way. but he did not propose giving the
Conservatives all opportunity of cOncen-
raung all their forces in few cOnStit-
uencieS. The late government. after
getting the affairs of the country into
helpless muddle, threw up the sponge,
thereby acknowledging their inability
TO cope with the situation. They had
recommended that he be called upon to
form government. and at the very out
set they proposed throwing obstacles in
the way of developing policy to rescue
the province. Under the circumstances
the best thing to be done would be a
general appeal, although he would have
preferred to see an honest redistribution
bill passed frst,o such as the Liberals
had all along been pledged to. How
ever, he did not fear the result even
with the old bill and lists prepared
under the direction of the late govern
.ment. 1t is understood that nearly all
Greenway's followers are in favor of
general election. NoTquay asked in the
house for the appointment of a royal
commission to investigate the charges
preferred against himself and his gov
ernment in regard to acting in collision
with the HudsOn's Bay Railway con-
tractors and defrauding the province.

Mrs. Goen Holds the Fort

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. 2O.-A year
ago rancher in Moosa canyon named
Lewis Stone went East. During his
absence, family named Goen, consist
ing of a widow, two sons and q
daughter, took possession of his ranch
and cabin. On Stones return he insti-
tuted legal proceedings to eject the
parties. His title to the property was
confirmed, and last Wednesday when
Sheriff Breidlove went to. take possess
sion, the whole family of Goens faced
the officers with revolvers. Breidlove
snatched revolver from Mrs. Goen,
who was at the door. She seized gun
and shot him in the face. In the melee
which followed, Citizen Reed was fatally
wounded by Percy GOen. A married
daughter of Mrs. Goeni was accidentally
shot in the neck by her brother and fell
dead. Percy Goen is shot through
the head and arm, fatally. His
sister and brother were dead when

divulge who threw the brick that struck
HOff, but to reporter, who promised to
take his part, RuchhOeft. the barber,
stated that Jacob Becker threw the
brick. Then Michael Becker admitted
that it was his brother. They denied to
the police, however, that they knew
who threw it.

Morally and Mentally Unfit.

New YORK, Jan. 2O.-Daniel Driscoll,
the condemned murderer, has given out
letter in which he bitterly attacks
Warden Walsh, of the Tombs prison. as
a man morally and mentally unfit to Oc-
cupy his position. He charges the
warden with allowing special privileges
to prisoners who fee him, such as Sleep
ing in the hospital beds and receiving
female visitors in the privacy of their
cells: with brutality to prisoners, and
with locking boys under fourteen years
in a dark cell in cold weather without
bedding for weeks at time. Warden
Walsh says some of the charges are
false and others are exaggerated. Dris-
coll says he has seven bullets in his
body, and that he is willing that after

tian Hemme is deeper than ever. Will
lam MundfrOm, the stubborn witness,
who went back on his confession and
who swOre that he murdered Hemme

a few days before his death, who stated
to him then that he did not want to live
any longer, and should kill himself
MundfrOm has been returned to the
penitentiary to serve life sentence for
this murder. He was convicted solely
on his own confession, and it is believed
now that in his last statement he is try

, CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-A feud between
two families in this city eliminated last
evening in the killing of one man and
the probable murder of another. John
Becker and Nicholas Tapp, hucksters,
] live almost opposite of each other on
Howe street, and rivalry in business led
ito bitter hatred between the two men,
which naturally extended to their FAM
lies. For years the Beckers have taken
every opportunity to harrass and incon-
senience the Tapps, and they have
manifested their hatred of the Beckers
on every possible occasion. The quarrel
was renewed last evening over an old
horse used by Becker in his business
and numerous taunting and sarcastic
remarks which were INDUCED in on the
part of Tapp he telling him to ''kill
that horse and then kill himself"
Becker started for Tapp, when, it is
alleged, Tapp's daughter struck Becker
