Lady of the Mice.

Women have strange fancies. One
of them, prominent in all the fash
ionable follies of New York, is the
happy proprietress of a nest of white
mice, in which the chief interest of
her life is centered. She hangs over
them in an abandonment of adora-
ton, with. endearing phrases on her
lips; she holds them lovingly in her
bejeweled hands and allows them to
wander at their own sweet will over
the folds and frills of her Partisan
gowns.
One evening at seaside resort, a
little more thon year ago, there
was fine large audience gathered
in the one theatre the city boasts to
witness play given by one of the
strolling companies that make spas
modic visits to the watering place.
Plenty of beauty and wealth glad
dened the eyes of the actors and in
spired them. The play was capitally
given, but the attention of the aud
ience was constantly diverted from
the stage to the stage boxes, in one
of which sat the Lady with the Mice,
as sensational story writer's would
call her. The playful gambols of
her strange pets were exciting to be-
hold, and with their handsome mis-
tress they were the cynosure of al
ewes.

Advantages of Low Ceilings.

The advantages of low ceilings for
dwellings,, on account of their being
more readily ventilated than dwell
lings that are high cciled. are now
very generally admitted by builders
and sanitari ms. The view taken of
this matter from the standpoint of
health is, briefly. that tine leakage of
air which is always going on keeps
all parts of the air in motion in such
rooms, whereas, if the ceiling is
higher, only the lower part Of the
air is moved, and an inverted lake
of foul and hot air is left floating in
the space above the window tops.
To have the currents of fresh air
circulating only in the lower parts
of the room, while the upper portion

THE WHITE GORBLER.
The Part it Played In a Romance and
Dinner.

Major Beasley Carter was we'll
known citizen of Northern Alabama.
He was something OF character, proud
of his lineage, though he could not
trace it further back than a few hundred
yards. His forefathers, he vowed,
were cavaliers, and he often spoke OF
the great civil war in England. Indeed,
one not acquainted with the history OF
that conflict and its long agonies, would
suppose that the Major had heard the
belching of divers cannons. He cared
nothing for recent political factions, re-
garding with contempt the Republicans
and Democrats, but looked with ex
treme hatred upon the Roundheads.
To him our civil war was a conflict be-
tween the Tory gentlemen and the
Barebones. Sometimes, upon taking
up daily paper (Which he knew was
much inferior to the old time news
letter sent out from Wills coffee house)
he would say to his wife that he wanted
to see if they were still burning witches
in New England.
Zjlda Carter, the Majors daughter,
was declared the handsomest girl in the
Limestone neighborhood. She had
beeen literally educated and of course
could not share her fathers absurd
views. She did not, however, attempt
to argue with him, for she knew that
the only unpleasantness that had ever
come up between her parents was
caused by sighting remark which her
mother had made with regard to
Charles the First.
Just about the year ago Zllda was
permitted to visit friend who lived in
New York, and, before returning home,
she went down into Connecticut. While
in that State she and her friend "a
young lady we'll known to the family
ate Thanksglver dinner at farm house.
When Zilda told her father that she
had gone into New England, he frown-
ed but wnen, suddenly moved by a
bold impulse, she told HIM that she had
eaten Thanksgiving dinner at a Con

IT WAS AN OUTRAGE.

In the smoking car, along " hh half
dozen others OF US, was an engineer
who was going to Peoria, and after a

"And the same moment something

"She kept straight course for about
forty rods, smashing the stumps every

"Then, at crossing, she left the
metals, entered a corn field, and, bear
ing to the right, ploughed her way
across the country until she came to

1 had just arrived in America and was
taking my breakfast in the breakfast room OF
the hotel when pretty woman came in with
little child and seated herself near me. The

Horse Dentistry.

More trouble with and lack of condition of
horses are due to liberated and irregular
teeth than is generally supposed. They should
be removed with forceps. There is no reason
to doubt that horse with liberated teeth
suffers as intensely from toothache,asa human
subject. Irregular growth or fractures of
the enamel on the outer edges make the teeth
so rough as to injure the inside of the cheek,
sometimes causing ulcers. In other cases
some of the grinders grow more slowly than
others, and fail to meet those in the opposite
jaw, causing what is called ''quidding'' or i'm
perfect mastcation of the food The remedy
Is to file the teeth into the proper shape

portant branch of veterinary practice.-New
