A Thought.

Down where the shores of To-morrow's Land
Are washed by the River of Time
Daydream fair reared into the air
A castle OF height sublime,
And'working he sang this rhyme:
There are none who weep, there is naueht Of
sorrow,
In this, the joyous Land of Tomorrow
Higher and higher the castle tall
Uplifted its battlements strong
And cleaning bright he placed On the height
The Star Of Hope; then long
And loud he sang his song:
There are none who weep there is naught Of
sorrow,
In this, the joyous Land o: Tomorrow"
All! But whirlwind OF Fate, all dark,
Came over that region so blcst-
The cleaning star fell down from afar
TIL shattered, his Hope lay prest
Down, down on the Daydreans breast
But, did no one weepnor feel in sorrow
A dream lay dead in the Land of Tomorrow

An EYergiade Court.

A Florida lawyer tells New York
Tribune correspondent this story OF
practice down on Indian river. The
lawyers down there were good-natured,
INDECENT fellows who never had their
eases ready for trial when called. The
judge had often been forced to spend a
week in the close little court house and
at the dreadful hotels, when two days.
prompt work would have wiped off the
calendar. He had scolded and threat
ened to no purpose many time. Court
week" was a semi-annual celebration
down there, and the CRACKERS" gath
cred in from far aud near. and the tav-
ern keepers expected to make good
thing of 1t and were seldom diSappoint-
ed. But the judge determined to teach
them lesson on this occasion.
He opened court promptly, with the
result that 0ne-half the cases on the
calendar were called before counsel be-
gan to arrive. OF the other half not a
single case was ready. Every lawyer
had witness missing. or a juror late,
or some legal formality yet to be COM
piled with, and all noted how amiable
the judge was in granting few hours
time on the most trivial plea. Finally,
when the clerk of the court announced
that no more cases were on the calen-
dar. the Judge gravely replied:
MI. Clerk, all these cases are con-
tinued until next term. This court is
going fishing"
Next term was six months off, and
there was great indignation, but the old
Judge could not be prevailed on to
change his mind.

On Fourth street a ton of coal was

BATHS FOR SHORT LADIES.
4 Needed Reform in the Archi-
lecture of Our Homes.

u NeeUeu reform IN the T1Tcnt-
lecture of Our Homes.
A complaint, which is quite as peril
nent here as it is abroad, is voiced by a
writer in the Pail Mall Gazette, who
says: With few striking exceptions
modern baths are placed at too high a
level with regard to the floor line. Ease
on the part of the architect, builder and
plumber too often goes before due con-
SideratiOn for the bather. 1t is no I'M
common thing to find a height of little
less than three feet from the floor to the
marble or wooden top of the bath. The
athletic male chambers over this with
aIacrity, if not dignity: but to woman
hood | make bold to declare this ar
rangement is simply barbarOus at the
gray dawn of the twentieth century.
To permit true ease and comfort in
entering and leaving, the bath must be
sunk below the level of the floor, and
approached by steps. This is the true
type of bath. Thereto to Goddess of
Beauty may approach with that en-
chanting grace of action so lovingly de-
picted by painters OF antiquity, and no
less affectiOnately, by those of our own
times. Being somewhat expensive, and
constructed in many positions with
some little difficulty, the completely
sunken bath cannot be the proud pos
session of all, but every one may have
the step or stepped platform, round the
ordinary high-level bath.

down Fifteenth street to Chestnut,

set the buggy and freed itself from
that incumbrance. With increased
speed it continued on down Chestnut
street. Men and boys shouted and tried
to stop it. a policeman rushed out,
turned heavy furniture wagon across
the street and thus blocked the way.
The runaway took to the Sidewalk, and,

That Troublesome Trunk.

Istumbled over an old-fashioned hair
trunk as jumped on the front platform
of crowded horse car in Morrisania
the other afternoon, says a New York
st ar reporter. A spruce-l0oking young
dude was using it as foot-rest; aud,
when the conductor came out to collect
fares. he told the young man that he
wanted an extra fare for carrying that
trunk. i've paid my fare, and that's
all you get from me-" said the dude.
''All right" Snarled the conductor
''then Off it goes" and moment later
he had bundled it off into the roadway.
A couple OF blocks farther on the con-
ductor. who had been glowerlng at the
dude all the way. said: Il told you I'd
throw it off. and l did See?"
"What's that to me?" said the young
fellow. quietly. 1T isn't my trunk. -
While the conductor was running back
after the trunk the dude stepped off the
car, and. with the remark, ''serves him
right for thinking Ed own such look
ing thing" disappeared in the gather
ing gloom.

LANGTRY's SILVER TUB.
Bathmakers Believe 1t Is the Only
One on Earth.
Pal Mil Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
Bathmakers believe that there is only
one silver bath-tub in the world. This
was made some years ago for an Indian
prince by a London bathmaker, and he
suppOses that. the owner having died,
the silver bath came into the market,
and Mrs. Langtry purchased it. a silver
bath is d tremendous affair. Some few
wealthy people have copper baths plated
with silver, but the cost is but trifie
compared with the genuine article. The
bath most commonly used in the best
houses are of enameled copper. This
is what is placed in the bathrooms of
Marlborough house. There is no special
luxury about the princes bathing appa-
ratus. Some wealthy people who 90 In
for luxurious bathing fill their bath
rooms with statuary, have painted the
walls, and the bath itself is fitted into a
case of carved oak. Then there are
marble baths. They are both cold and
costly.
The most novel thing in baths, how
ever, is one fitted with a shower bath
overhead, a needle spray bath at the
sides. and wave bath that rushes out
at the foot, These are in addition to
the ordinary hot aud cold taps. So that
a possessor of one of these ingenious
things can have i've styles of bathing.

AMERICAN BARS IN PARIS.
There Are Plenty of Them, but the
Drinks They Serve Are Very

DFinkS lney serve are very
Frenchy.
Paris Letter to Chicago Tribune.
The Americans and English who have
come to see the exposition are but a
drop in the Partisan bucket. Every ma
ton in Europe and out Of Europe has
poured its leisure class in here. Every
bOdy-eXcept ladies and gentlemen
from Iowa and Kansas, anxious to i'm
prove their dry minds-drinks more or
less in Paris. Everybody. save the
English and Americans. takes kindly
70 the French style of drink
ing. Sidewalk cafes are crowd
ed day and night. Around
the little White-topped tables are people
from every land under the sun, slipping
coffee with a dash of brandy in it, sugar
and water with dash of the same, and
so on. In the court of the Grand hotel,
half of whose guests are English-speak-
ing, is one of those cafes. Ask the
waiter If he can give you some Ameri-
can whisky. He says, "Certainement,"
and brings you pony glass OF the Irish
or Scotch article. 1t is the same at all
the great cafes, even the Cafe Ameri-
caine. on the Boulevard des Capucines,
where the trustful Yankees sit down in
large numbers, expecting to get famll
lar drink. In the restaurant OF the
Grand they give you cocktail which
belongs to the 70's-one of those atroci-
tieSwith the rim of the glass all encruSted
with sugar. There are American bars"
in plenty. The Hotel Chatham has one
that realizes, am told, profit of $780,
600 year. Here Americans and En-
glishmeu, weary of French sights and
the sound of French tongue, gather and
sit around and drink whisky cocktails
all day long. Americans who would
never dream Of drinking a cocktail ex
cept before meals when under the Stars
and Stripes consume them here at all
hours. The word cocktail has home
like sound, and they feel feeble glow
of patriotism as they prosecute the
work OF running their stomachS.
If there is any time when cocktail
is acceptable to those who approve of
the drink and have been preparing the
system for it the night before, it is just
previous to breakfast. Yet none of
Paris's American bars'' is open before
9 o'clock a. m. There is one honorable
exception on the Rue Scribe-an Eng
fish chop-house, where nice, motherly
old lady in spectacles sympathetically
complies the comforter for those who
have been heavily laden. She is on
hand as early as a. m. and a string of
the great republics citizens await her
coming even at that early hour every
morning.

MATCH THE HAIR.
An Artistic Style of Dressing That
Is Entirely Swell.

A secret of artistic dressing is to
match the hair nearly as possible for
day and the eyes for evening wear, the
idea being that if woman having

effect by drapery and yelling, and head
gear of the same shade. 1t is startling,
but quite swell.
