Snubbing the Prince of Wales.

A letter written about a month prior to the publication of the affair by New York belle who was in Paris at the time, and who knew all about the occurrence, and whose name would carry additional interest, said: "All the talk is about Mrs. Wetmores sauci- ness to the Prince of Wales. We all think she did just right. The Prince of Wales has been in the habit of treating American wo- men outrageously. don't mean that his de- meanor toward them is otherwise than gal lant, or that he offers to them any personal in sult-further than that conveyed in his as- sumption that he can make their acquaintance at will, and that they ought to be glad to be brought to him on the slightest intimation that he would like it. The bad point is that he draws @ distinction between American and ladies of the old world. If he sees by chance 8 pretty Yankee woman at the the atre, in the park, anywhere, and he happens to desire an acquaintance, he sends one of his minions or a friend, without any circum- locution, to let her know that he will make her acquaintance. There is condescension in the whole method-a humiliating sense of being picked up. This he doesn't do with women from any other country. Too many of us have encouraged him in this sort of thing by submitting to it. Mrs Wetmore is the first, think. to set a good example. All hail to her, say I."-New York Sun.

Suppers Instead of Late Dinners.

The development of luncheons and after noon teas suggests to some minds a fore shadowing of a day when 8 o'clock dinner will disappear altogether from the pro- granme of society, and when the antique supper will be revived among us; when peo- pie will go straight from the park to the opera or play; when morning dress will be the fashion in our theatres, and every hour of summer daylight will be utilized at gar den parties and polo matches, riverside clubs and suburban race courses, without the per- petual tyranny of getting home to dress for dinner.
 Then will wit revive in the cooler air of night, and supper tables and coteries will be as brilliant as among the bellies and the blues of the Walpolean epoch; then will chicken and champagne after the play be the rule of society, not the special privilege of the dra- matic critic and on the first night of a new play a dozen of the stateliest houses in Lon don will be open to troopers in, with enter tainment as large and liberal as that which MT. Irving offers to his friends on the stage of the Lyceum. Then, too, will the little supper-where the guests are in number not more than the Muses or less than the Graces be again sweetener of daily life, a rest after labor; the dainty but not too elaborate meal at round or oval table, the windows open to the cool breath of the night, and the distant reverberation of wheels in Piccadilly a meal in which there should be less of ceremony and flunlleydom and greater free dom of speech; Q meal at which we may de- stroy half dozen reputations as lightly as we shell the prawns and with not any more i'll nature To bring back the reign of the mid night supper we must needs eliminate the 8 o'clock dinner. Who will be the first to make the standardization World.

Ap Exhib,tion of Cheek.

There was all exhibition of cold, stony cheek in a gambling house in Chicago one night couple of years ago that has rarely been eoualed and never excelled Two gam blers stood on Clark street one night dis ,cussing the situation. One of them was pen niless The other had a leaden dollar. He was bemoaning the fact that he couldn't dis pose of it anywhere. He had tried all sorts of devices to get rid of it, but it stuck to him like brother.
 s'Give it to me-" said the other. "rn go up and play it in. Maybe they will over look it."
 He went into Hankin's house. The dealer gave him checks for the ''ringer" without noticing its character. The gambler played afong He had wonderful luck. He won $20a in few minutes. When he cashed in the dealer paid him the bad dollar with the rest. The gambler pushed it back.
 "I don't want that" he said; Sits bad"
 The dealer was so staggered that he didn't speak, and the lucky but ungrateful gambler walked out without waiting for good dollar. New York Press.

Music of the Ancients.

The Egyptian flute was only cows horn with three or four holes in it, and their harp or Tyre had only three strings; the Grecian Tyre had only seven strings and was very small, being held in one hand; the Jewish trumpets that made the walls of Jericho fall down were only rams horns; their flute was the same as the Egyptian; they had no instru- mental music but by percussion, of which the greatest boast made was the psaltery, a small triangular harp or Tyre with wire strings, and struck with an iron needle or stick; their sackbut was something like a bagpipe; the timbrel was tambourine, and the dulcimer was horizontal harp, with wire strings, and struck with stick like the psaitery They had no written music; had scarcely vowel in their language and yet, according to Josephus, they had POI, 900 mu- sicians playing at the dedication of the Tenn pie of Solomon. Mozart would have died in such a concert in the greatest of agony.-Chi- cago Herald.

for the establishment of an annex for women to the institution. This action is simply in line with tie course previously pursued at Harvard, wheressthe success of the women's annex has already been de monstrated, and it would seem to be merely question of time when the women of the country will have equal educational advantages with the young men. Yale and Princeton have not yet opened their doors to women, though there. are some branches of instruction at the New Haven institution, notably the art depart ment and in one case at least in the law school, in which women ara accepted as students. 7
 There has been very marked change in recent years in the sentiment of college professors, and of the public generally, in regard to the higher education of women, as is evidenced by the fact that so many institutions extend to them their privileges in greater or less degree. With such in stitutions as Wellesley, Vassar, Smith col leye and scores of smaller high class board ing schools, the Harvard annex and the new annex that is now to be attached to Columbia, together with the institutions where co-education exists, as at Cornell and Michigan universities, there is certain l ly no lack of facilities whereby women can avail themselves of the very highest educational advantages. And the Chautauquan system that has be- come so popular of late years, and that can be enjoyed at little or no expense, is most valuable supplement to the educa tional privileges now enjoyed by women. In so far, therefore, as any serious losses are concerned, women may well regard with indifference any indisposition there may exist in few large institutions tc shut their doors against them. The mair purpose-and, indeed, the only potent in ducement-actuating those who are push l ing the movement is to extend the facl ities of higher education for women by securing a larg=r number of institu tions granting the privilege o1 within the reach of greater number thu power to avail themselves of the higher educational advantages.
 At the rate with which minds that hav' been more or less steadfastly opposed t. granting women the privileges of ou higher educational institutions are chang ing, We may expect before many years t. see women studying side by side witt young men, drinking draughts of knowledg from every educational fountain in tn land And it will be good thing for tn country and our1nstitutions of learning a | we'll

The Emperor's Private Paper.

The Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria has a paper published for his own private reading exclusively. It is made up solely of extracts from foreign and local papers concerning his majesty or questions of Austrian policy. The foreign extracts are translated, condensed as much as possible, and then written upon linen paper, which is, then handed to the emperor every morning. Sometimes The Imperial Review as it is called, consists of as many as sixteen pages. Nothing of impor- tance can be omitted, praise and blame being alike required. Three copies of this wonder full journal are prepared. One goes to the emperor; another, to the secretary of state; and a third, to the prime minister. The cost of the publication is two hundred thousand gulden yearly.-Frank Leslie's.

Sailing Up the St. Lawrence.

Such is the nature of the river that ships often spend more time in sailing up the St. Lawrence than in crossing the Atlantic; gem erally they require eight or nine days to beat up the Quebec from Bic, 140 miles; they can sail only during the flood, five hours, and then must anchor, unless the wind changes. The clumsy coasting schooners, requiring always a fair wind, sometimes spend a month in going sixty or eighty miles. With so many dangers as I have set forth, the reader might think that the St. Lawrence is not navigable; but, thanks to an efficient system of lighting and plotting, these waters are one of the great commercial arteries of the continent; they are frequented during six months of the year by several lines of transatlantic steamships, fleet of Norwe- gian barks for timber, and a limited number of coasting steamers and schooners.-C, H. Farnham in Harper's Magazine.
