To FIGHT q trust with another trust
does not lessen the evil of trusts, but it
rather educates the people to tolerate
them. 1t may be brave to fight. the devil
with fire, but the proper way to fight the
devil is with holy water. The devil hates
holy water, and trusts hate laws.

The Glorified spinstcr I'm Boston.

The Boston woman is nothing if not
independent. She deems herself very
properly at least the equal of the mas
culine brute, who is taught by her to
know that he is not by any means the
indispensable creature commonly sup
posed. The female Of the human
species hcreabout, outnumbcring SO
greatly as she does the local male sup
ply, must needs learn to take care of
herself And so she does 1t is thus
one finds thousands of unprotected
but self reliant maidens of various
ages approaching matrimonial hope
lessness, pursuing q sort of bachelor
esque existence in the studio buildings,
with art or literature for an occupa-
ton. Some of them paint things
more or less bad, which their kind
hearted friends make habit of buy
ing. Others do hackwork for the
newspapers. AS rule they are ladies
and have some little income of their
own which enables them to make
both ends meet. Their manner of liv-
ing is simple and inexpensive. A
screen in one corner conceals little
gas stove and some few dishes. In a
curtained alcove is bed. Half q
dozen chairs, an easel or two and some
painting or writing materials complete
the equipment of the virginia. mcnage.

Indignant Protest.

Great excitement prevailed at the
Odeon theatre, says Paris correspon-
dent. There was a smell Of powder in
the atmosphere of the theatre, and, al
though the rival parties never came to
actual hostilities, one felt throughout
the evening that q determined conflict
might at any moment take place.
Leaving out Of the count the critics,
the other journalists, the actors and
actresses, and those friends Of the
theatre who seem to think that no
new play ought to be produced with
out them, the house was divided be-
tween the disciples of the naturalist
school" and the admirers of what must
be called, by way of contrast, tho
''poetical drama" The occasion thus
recalled the stormy premieres of Vic
tor Hugo's much contested plays; but
manners have changed since "Her-
mani" was first performed, and al
though discomfort was in the air all
through the evening, the storm did
not burst until the curtain fell some
time after midnight. Then, however,
when the principal male performer
came before the curtain, according to
usage, to announce the authors name,
the great bulk of the audience, who
had been patient till then, cried out,
mol nor and the actors voice was
lost in tempest of indignant protest.

A Chinese Autocrat.

heard an amusing story about q
prominent insurance agent who has a
monopoly of the Chinese insurance
business in this city. He went to a
laundry and got the Mongol in charge
to translate small circular into Chi
nese. Tho names of several wealthy
Chinese merchants were given as ref
erences. When the circular had been
photographed and reduced to q size
convenient for printing on an ordi-
nary business card, the insurance

Saysa Portland bookseller: cat ono

religious works, and ono day called
out to one of my clerks, holding up q
book which he had wrapped up for
some one, Is this "Thc City of God?"
No, | guess not, he said, without look
ing round, at least 1 never heard it
called that before. It is generally
called the Forest City. Perhaps it Is

that he thought had found refer
ence in some book to place called the
City of God and wanted to know what
city it meant

takes, however, are those made by

peculiar. One woman came in the
other day and asked for The Rhine

Professor lee, of Bowdoin college,
who accompanied the Albatross cXpe-
dition as Il naturalist, tells of curious
experience in the South Pacific. Years
ago the Ecuador government planted
convict colony on Charles Island,
one Of the Galapagos group. ~
The convicts revoltcd, killed the
governor and escaped, leaving behind
pigs, cattle, donkeys and uses. Since
that time no one was Thought to live
there, and at Chatham Island, another
of the group, the Albatross party were
told that Charles Island was entirely
deserted
They were, therefore, rather sur
prised when they visited Charles Island
to come upon a man nearly naked,
carrying n pig ON his back He was
quite as surprised as they, and was ut
first in great fear; but finally they
got him TO talk. His hair and beard
had grown very long, and he had lost
all notion of time.
He said that some years before he
had come to Charles Island with a
party in search of a certain valuable
moss; that he had deserted his COM
panions, who had gone off without
him, and that since that time he had
been alone on the island.
He had lived on fruits and herbs;
had captured wild cattle by setting
traps for them, killed them with a
spear made by tying his pocket knife
to stick, and from their hides made
hut. He was glad to see men again,
and asked to be taken back to Chatham
Island, which was granted, of course.
