Senator Palmer's New Pets.
From the NetD York Tribune.

from Ut NeU 4 oTh ifLOUHe.
Senator Palmer has new pet. This time 1t
is fat and handsome raccoon. II arrived from
Michigan some days ago, and has already won
such warm place in the affections of Mr. and
Mrs Palmer that it has been furnished with a
temporary home in the dining of their
house on h street The senator made the
acquaintance Of the coon in the course Of the
campaign last year He lthe SENATOR was max
ing a speech at Ann Harbor to the university
students and the citizens generally when he
felt something licking his hand Turning
hastily he found that il was a handsome tame
raccoon that had Crawled up on the table by his
side TO applaud the vigorous manner in which
the speaker was lampooning the Philistiues
The senator is very susceptible 70 the blandish
ments Of animals Of all kinds and he promptly
ATTEMPTED to purchase the coon OF its owner
He did not succeed, however, although he
offered good price. Its master would not
part with il.
A few weeks ago the 'oeon arrived IN Detroit
addressed to MIR. Palmer, and protected by a
very pretty log cabin of the best workmanship
A note from the man who owned the coon said
that he would not sell il, but he took pleasure
in presenting it to one who he knew would be
kind master. The senator thereupon ordered
the animal TO be sent to Washington, where it
arrived on Sunday, safe and sound, having been
fed and watered on the way by the express com
pAny's agents. The senator has named the
animal Rinaldo Rinaldini. His only reason for
choosing this name is that it is the title Of the
first novel he ever read, and the coon is the
most novel thing he ever saw. Besides, like the
novel, it is also very tame. 1t has some inter
estng tricks, the cutest being bis habit Of roll
ing piece OF ice about on the floor and won
deriug 20 see It becoming smaller
Mrs. Palmer whose love for the pets has been
confined chiefly TO her Blenheim Spaniels, has
taken quite as great a fancy to the coon as Mr.
Pa mer has, aud she is perfectly content to have
il capering about on the dining-room floor 10
the full length OF It's chain instead Of shivering
out in the barn as coons usually DO.

A Chance for artificial Ears.
From thr New York Tribune.

A most startling, yea, almost shocking dis
covery has been made by member of the
Bellevue faculty and the old proverb mo rose
without its thorn" will now be properly ap-
piled to that useful commodity, the telephone
The medical ex0ert in question was called upon
few days ago by remarkably handsome young
woman, who complained of a dull sensation in
the cartilage of her right ear. An examination
showed, first, that the external ear was slightly
shrveled in appearance, and, after cOmpari-
son with the mate ear on the left side, the
doctor was astOnished to find that the right ear
was smaller than the left, though the reverse is
usually the case. An inquiry into the history of
the case developed the Information that the
young woman is a telephone operator, and
usually wears a receiver strapped tightly over
her right ear. The symptoms and history to-
gether justified the professor in diagnosing a
clear case of atrophy of the external ear, owing
to pressure and diSuse. And now there is an
opportunity for an ingenious inventor to get up
an artificial ear and start a factory; for, Of
course, it cannot be doubted that in a few years
a large percentage of our young women will be

A Sensible Reform.

The reform begun by Mr.. W. D. Garrison,
the proprietor Of a leading New York hotel
excluding French words from his bills of
fare is attracting considerable attention,
and. doubtless, it will extend to other hotels
In Philadelphia, the other day, out of six
leading hotel men who we're interviewed on
the subject, five expressed themselves as be-
ing in favor of the reform, and the sixth
did not oppose it, though he was not pre-
pared to adopt it himself, as his guests were
foreigners chiefly, and Americans who were
accustomed 10 French cooking.
There is no objection to menu cards
printed in French when set dinners are
served to select parties, as in such instances
the guests are not expected to consult the
cards; and it sometimes happens that a
French term cannot be avoided, but as a
general thing it would be better if the bills
of fare were in the English language.
The majority of hotel guests in this coun-
try do not understand French, and conse-
high sounding French terms, and have
either to make their selections Of dishes on
a venture or to leave the selection to the
walters. In either instance, in all proba-
bility, they get what they do not want, and
go away feeling that they have not had
their moneys worth.
Outside of that, the custom is made to
appear ridiculous very often on account of
the bad French used. If hotel men are
convinced that they can't get along without
having their bills of fare printed in French,
let them at least make a proper use of that
language.
English is good enough for Americans,
no matter whether it appears in books,
newspapers or letters, or on bills of fare.

Mrs Jay Gould lived a quiet, unosten-

with simplicity. She was gentle and retir-
ing, and whenever she appeared in public
there were comparatively few people who
knew her. A writer in the New York Star
says: Il do not suppose that per cent of
the people who know Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt or Mrs. William Astor would have
known Mrs. Gould had they met her on the
street. A few years ago l saw her at
Irvington. She was driving in "a phaeton
with her two little daughters. Most pao-
pie would have failed TO notice the quietly
dressed, pleasant-faced matron, but the
friend with me, who resided in the neigh
borhood, told me who the lady was to whom
he had just bowed" Mr. Gould's bereave-
ment affects him very greatly. He is said
to look worn and haggard, and it is feared by
his friends that the blow will prove more
than he can bear.
