The NevDort Girl A-Driyjpp

Bellevue avenue i'll the morning is quite
another place from Bellevue avenue in the
afternoon. In the early hours of the day it
abounds with pretty girls; they are pretty in
their fresh morning costumes, fitting here
and there, buying the little odds and ends of
which woman is in perpetual need. What do
these "buds" want? | asked the other dav.
They drive up and down in their ornate
carts, looking like peripatetic butterflies;
they pause for an instant here, they fiutter
out there, they light in shop door and reap.

mine gown of some soft silken fabric and
little cap of the same material on her head,
and sho sits bolt upright like a ramrod, with

Dstsari~ordia of Florence.

Here, as we turn corner, we meet one
of the queerest looking professions in the
world. 1t IS a small company of men,
their heads perfectly covered with white
nantes, with holes for the eyes and
mouth They look in the moonbeams like
n company of dead people, just resurrected
and walking about the streets, with
shrouds still upon them. One of them,
met alone in an American town, would
scare any girl into Mysteries.
\ feeling of Indignation comes over US
as we glance at this strange walking
group, but when we know what they are,
it turns into q sentiment of fervent love.
They are the Misericordia-an association
formed to comfort and relieve misery
wherever they can hear of it. They are
recruited from all classes of citizens, from
the prince to the pauper. When certain
signal is struck by the bell of the big
cathedral, it means that somebody is suf-
fering and needs their help. Those on
duty that week must rush TO their rendez-
vous as village people do to a fire, and
help the afflicted one. These masks con-
Ceal their faces from bystanderS and from
each other No one knows who they are
not even the person who is receiving
their help. Six of these men are bearing
a human body with them. II the stretcher
is tightly closed they carry a corpse; this
one is open, thank heaven, and they are
trying to save life to its friends. If any
association in Italy has the approval OF
God. the NiSericordia aS.-Will Carleton

Russia's Imperial Stableg.

The extravaganza Of the Russian Soy
ereigns is nowhere better eyemplified than
in the imperial stables, which are located
not far from the winter palace. The car
has 800 horses, the finest in the world.
Russia is the country of fine horses, and
he has the best of them These stables
cost the government 100000 rubles a
year, about $500, GOO, while we pay the
president of the United States $50, 600 and
make him find his own horses, but then
he isn't car. Two thousand men,
hostlers, coachmen, footmen, grooms,
eQuerries, secretaries, quartermasters,
purchasing agents, harness makers, car
rage builders, veterinary surgeons, are
employed to look after the stud, which is
distributed around at the several palaces
the emperor inhabits. There are some at
Peterhoff, some at Garschina, some at
Tsarska Selo, but the most of them are in
Petersburg.
The stables or koniushennayas, as the
name appears IN the Russian tongue,
which makes the best possible use of the
thirty-siX letters In the alphabet, give one
as good an idea as he can get anywhere,
not only of the extravagant tastes and
wicked wastefulness of the czars, but of
the vastneSs of the city. They cover as
much ground as an ordinary village, are
a series of rectangular two story build
ings, inclosing large courts, the upper
floors being used for storage and the lower
for the stock.-Wilham Eleroy Curtis.

Ancient and Modern Bellies,

The girl Of the period ranges from 140
pounds OF less. Between these two limits
may be found almost all the healthy love-
illness of the fair sex in America. In Eng
land and Germany the figures are higher;
in France and southern Europe they are
the same as in this country, or smaller
Eighty pounds of femininity is, Of course,
not much viewed from a material stand
point, although it was probably about the
weight of Cleopatra, if psychological re-
search may be depended upon, and she
was rather more than too much for any Of
the champions 4 her day.
Cleopatra is the exception, which proves
the rule as TO progressive thinness. All
the other bellies Of antiquity were large,
ample ladies Of generous proportions and
great health. Semiramis was taller than
most of her guardsmen. The mind fails
to consent to a petite Boadicea. Charlie
magne's mother was nearly six feet tall.
Margaret of Anjou was large Elizabeth
could not be described as small, and, in
fact, most of the historic DANES Of whose
size we have any vague idea, were big be-
yond all modern ideas Of what a woman
should permit herself to be, beginning
with our great Mother Eve, who was q
giantess according to Arab tradition,
which still points out her tremendous
tomb. The facts are meager, but even
within the experience of men now living
the movement toward osseousness has
been apparent.-Philadelph Press.

Thrift of the French PeoDIe.

Every sign still exists in France of fertil-
ity, industry, thrift, obedience to the laws
and honest financiering. notwithstanding
the enormous size of their debt the French
people do not shrink from every form of tax
alton required to meet their interest For
some time after the war they paid off large
parcels of the principal, but have not found
it prudent of late to do more than meet their
interest account. Taxation is excessive in
the country, but l think it is not equal either
to the taxation of the conscription which
France suffered at the close of the career of
Napoleon |, when old age and hoary hairs,
immature youth, the cradle and the grave,
were robbed for the harvest field of war.
Every railroad ticket sold in France adds q
penny to the cost to meet a government tax
Two sous among a people habitually frugal
is in itself a tax every time they ride from
the city 70 the suburbs, or from the capital 10
a province. But the French really taught
Europe financial honesty in dealing with
public creditor and it has become traditional
with that country not to permit revolutions
in the form OF the government to embarrass
the public credit The huge sums of money
spent by Napoleon the Last to employ voters
and promote an evanscent industry are ell
being considered by the French of the present
day when they pay their taxes. As to the
French army, it seems to be sustained by the
populace even more than by the public men,
although the populace get few or none of the
honors OF the army ami must 60 in the ranks

Facts Concerning Cold Waves.

There are many other curious facts con-
nected with the progress of cold waves.
Many instances occur, says Lieut.. Wood
ruff, where the temperature at a given
station, at the time of the appearance of
the cold wave in the northwest, is lower
than the minimum afterward produced
by the cold wave. 1t often happens that
cold wave sets in from the extreme
northwest, and upon reaching the Missis-
sippi valley divides, part going north
easterly TO the lower lake region and the
other part southwark TO the Gulf states.
In either case the intensity appears to be
greatly diminished. This action seems
generally to be due to the sudden devel
opment Of a storm somewhere in the
southern part of the Missouri valley.
Sometimes a storm Of slight energy re-
mains in Kansas, Missouri and the Indian
territory, and has the effect Of retarding,
or even totally destroying a cold wave,
Again, when cold wave is retarded in
this way, it seems often to gather force
and intensity, and rush rapidly forward
and spread over the entire country. An
OTHER frequent feature is that after a cold
wave commences the temperature con-
tinueS to fall in the northwest, and an
other wave is formed entirely distinct
from the first, from which il becomes sep
aratei by warm wave. The warm wave
is only narrow belt, but the cold waves

Masks for Valuable Gems.

\ richly dressed, handsome young
woman attracted considerable attention
III the box of fashionable theatre one
evening this week. 1t was not her IN
usual beauty-for there were other ladies
present who excelled her in personal
charmS-that made her conspicuous,
neither was it due TO any unusual deport-
meut on her part. The whole claim upon
fame rested in the magnificent solitaire
diamond earrings she wore. As they
caught the rays of the electric light they
almost dazzled the eyes of the audience.
There evidently was no paste about them.
They were genuine stones and worth not
less than 81 600 each. When the play
had come To an end, a reporter who had
observed the lady during the performance,
saw her as she was leaving the building.
He looked for the diamonds, but they
were not visible. The setting Of the stones
remained the same, but in the place of
the gems were two chased gold bulbs,
such as any fashion loving saleSlady
might have aspired TO own.
Looking for the diamonds" asked the
reporter companion, who spent his days
in Maiden lane jewelry emporium.

''No; she still wears them She has
merely covered them up with those gold
masks These contgiyauceS are of recent
origin" he explained. and are becoming
very fashionable They are cheap and
neat. They fit over the stones and hide
them from view. By this means lady
can wear plain gold ornaments on the
street, and the moment she reaches the
playhouse she can blossom out in the most
gorgeous jewelry. She runs DO risk If

Sayacity OF a Buffalo Dam.

I observed some fresh buffalo tracks,
which I followed until l came in sight of
cow and calf quietly grazing upon the
prairie about mile away. They had the
wind of me, and Immediately started of
at spanking pace, the calf ell the time
keeping close up with the mother. As
this was the first time had seen buffa-
loes in that part of the country, and as
my horse was tolersbly fleet and fresh, /
started in pursuit, but did not gain much
upon them for some time
At length, however the interval began
TO diminish until / was almost near
enough for a shot, when the calf became
weary and dropped little behind, which
caused the dam to resort TO an expedient
that was wonderfully sagacious. Seeing
that her calf could no longer keep up she
rushed through large clump Of brush,
leaving the calf therein, and on emerging
therefrom resumed the chase with in
creased vigor, and as my horse was q
little exhausted l abandoned her. but the
calf was found with head upon the
ground. hiding himself in the tbickest
part of the bushes.--Gen- Marcy il Out

Ny Virginia friend-I was going to say
my old Virginia friend, but he is only Is,
and doesn't live in old Virginia, but in
West Eirginia-was telling me of the
code duello in the south. He raised his
nat. and with his forefinger traced a deep
scar on his forehead just at the roots of
the hair It looked as If made by red
hot brand.
''That," said he, "was received in

Virginia, but there are still some hot
headed men who think that their wounded
honor can only be satisfied with blood.

me that short armed man fired quicker
