it's my belief that minstrelsy will grow more

The Masher Mashed.

Three Washers went MASKING as suited them bes,
Went MASKING away as the sun went down,
And each Of them wore an embroidered vest
A necktie red and derby brown.
They mashed the young and they mashed the old
Nor maid nor matfon spared they then;
They ogled and stared with glances bold,
This trio OF naughty MASKING men.
For men must mash tho women may Weep
And Washers mash while coppers sleep.
Now it's school girl tripping by:
Now it's motherly dame In a cab.
There's nothing too modest, nor yet too ~
To escape the eyes that are keeping tab
Many girl blushed red for shame,
And the tears fell thick and the tears fell fast
From the eyes of many an angry dame
Who was insulted as by she passed.
For men must mash tho women may weep,
And Washers mash while coppers sleep.
And the Washers chuckled aloud with Rlee:
1t was capital fun they had that day

Crispi and bismarck.

From the New York Tribune.
signor Crispi relates the following anecdote,
During my first interview with Prince Biss
marck at Friedrichsruhe the Chancellor caused
two enormous glasses of beer 10 be broueht
and invited me to drink the one placed before
me. protested that I drank only water,
whereat the prince seemed astonished beyond
measure, but said nothing. But when he had
emptied his own glass he slowly drank the one
which had been intended for me. Shortly
afterward two large pipes filed with tobacco
were brought. The prince Liz his own and
handed the other to me. Your highness,' I
observed, many thanks; but do not smoke. :
What! exc laimed Bismarck, rather impatiently.
You don't drink and you don't smoker WIZ

With a Couple Of Hints About the Full

From the Mems Outfitter.

From the Mems Outftter.
Trousers are midway between the tight and
the loose. The sort called moderately wide are
what the man or youth of taste will wear this
fall and winter. In patterns down stripes,
plaids and checks are all good. In the latter
small effects are recommended.
The coat without tail should never be worn
on formal occasions. This rule is fixed
When you buy coat see that the collar sets
well. Many a man, otherwise well dressed, has
his appearance married by being indifferent as
to the aspect of this very important detail Of
his attire

The Coolest Spot and Coolest Day.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The coolest region in the United States is the
stretch Of country on the northern border from
the Minnesota lakes to the western line Of Da-
kota. At the Pembina, which lies near the
forty-ninth parallel, the lowest temperature
recorded in the great storm of the winter OF
1873 was Sc degrees below zero. This is be-
heved to be the lowest temperature reached in
the United States

An Eccentric Novelist.

Blakely Hail. in Frank Leslie's Weekly.
Ouida is as grotesque figure as Mrs. Mackay
is O proper and conventional one. I saw the
novelist once in London and shall never for
get the impression which her astounding ap-
pearance made on me. Ishould say that Made
self-adding a syllable to her name with each
decade-might be described as the worst
dressed woman in Europe. Perhaps the most
ridiculous thing about her appearance is her
air Of assumed juvenility. On the day that l
saw her she wore q skirt which showed half an
inch Of white hose above pair of funny little
congress-top CATERS, such as one occasionally
sees in the prints Of 1850. The skirt was per-
fectly round, like q cheese cake. Above the
waist was jacket with two odd little tails be-
hind and imbued with q wonderful collection Of
incongruous coiors. 1t looked az though it
might have been copied after one Of the cos
tunes worn by Ouidas wonderful little vivant
dieres. She wore lace mittens q jaunty little
hat and carried . huge scarlet parasol, when
such things were practically unknown. She
was going TO call on the prime minister, or
some similar grandee, il being her custom at
that time to look in upon anybody In London
whose name CHANGED to attract her attention.
Oddly enough, she was received in any house
she chose 10 honor in London, English exclu-
sivsness giving way before the eccentricities of
the extraordinary little novelist.

VAST CONCESSION.
It's concession extends over scores of square
miles, not one-tenth of which has yet even been
explored. 1t consists of three districts-Hon-
gay, Hatou and Campha, the first two being
wholly coal. l have been over the whole of
the workings twice and into every one
of the galleries, and even taken photo
graphs of the miners at work. So can speak
with some confidence. As regards the quantity
of coal, it is practically inexhaustible. There
are millions OF tons in sight and nobody can
guess how much lies below. / have been in q
score Of galleries, each of them in a solid seam
from 10 to 20 feet thick. At Hatou there are
seven seams side by side, aggregating 81 feet
of coal. And yet these are merely the pre-
liminary works of prospecting. The MAR
guerite Mine" at Hongay is great mountain of
coal. As regards quality the prospects are
equally good The works at present have been
made chilly with the object OF discovering the
proper place for the deep shafts, and
therefore the coal has almost all been
surface coal. Yet its analysis has been
excellent; it has been tried successfully
