Titled MillinerS-

Correspondence of the Louis vile Courier-Journal
ApropOs of bonnets, / am told that Lady
Gordon. who went in for millinery. has con-
tinued to make deal of money. She was the
daughter of a famous Dublin distiller, and so
inherited a bit of the mercantile instinct
when the Scotch tenants didn't come to the
fore promptly with their rents my lady made
up her mind that she intended to have a we'll
filled purse. and so she began to sell bonnets
and hats. She had the reputation of dressing
extremely well herself and that was of worth
in business venture; her bonnets were
all imported from Paris. and her
hats were all English round ones.
She positively refused TO give credit. and
consequently found her best customers among
the British middle class. who SO dearly love a
lord. and who we're charmed to paw out their
gold for bonnet they thought my lady's hand
had touched Lady Gordon used her own
name which was wise. When Lady Mackenzie
went into the millinery business she called her
self Nine. Something and has, / hardly think,
been as successful as her rival in trade. She
goes IN for very smart tea-gOwns in addition to
bonnets, and SAYS, with a smile: 1T is quite
the fashion nowaday to be in trade" Every-
body knows that the Princess de Sagan let's out
her name at so much a year. and that it is
prominent over millinery shops in Paris, Lon
don and New York

A FOur-FOOted Thief.

Paris Special to London Telegraph.
'dog-thief' is one of the latest of Partisan
queer things and curiosities. Last week a
big Newfoundland dog went into a large shop
or store near the Bastile, and, after having
''prospected around" for some time selected
bundle OF shooting jackets, seized them be-
tween his teeth and made off with them. The
hue and cry was raised, and the spectacle pre-
sented by the hunt was of the most animated
character. Half the staff of the store, accom-
panied by hundred or SO small boys and
several policemen, pursued the canine pur-
loiner until he was brought to bay. The bun
marched off to the police station, preparatory
to his removal to and probably permanent fix
ture in the pound" As several tradesmen
had complained that the dog had already been
round their way for predatory purposes, the
conclusion was arrived at that the animal must
have been trained to thievery by some of the
'Fagins' of the Faubourg st. Antoine.

A ROYAL Slide.

From Forest and Stream.
/ have forgotten details, but the gist of it
was that during one of those periods of deep
winter snow in New Hampshire, when, as many
Of us can attest, there sometimes come some
hours of rain and sleet and then freeze. leav-
ing crust of glare ice over everything strong
enough to hold up an OK team, some young
fellows conceived the idea of having some
coasting extraordinary. They dragged from a
dOoryard and with much effort and pains a
large lumber sled and took it far up slope be-
yond the house. They mounted the sled in high
spirits and ''let her CO." intending to bring up
in the dooryard from which they had started.
SO great was the weight of the sled and its load
and so slippery the surface that they attained a
terrific speed in few moments. and not only
dashed through the dooryard, but clean through
an open barn and down long slope beyond,
finally bringing up in a meadow many rods
away, not, however, without a remarkable ad-
venture en- route.
There happened at this time to be an old
white horse standing in the barn and quietly
munching hay. Quick a fash the darling
sled knocked his legs from under him and
landed him on the sled, half killing the as
tonished and helpless boys, and carrying them
all to the foot of the hill Nor was tbs end of
it. Up that hill on the icy crust no horse
could come, and for nearly a week he had to
be supported on hay carried to the meadow by
the boys.

Rebuked by a Minister'S WIFE

rhE DANGER OF GosSIPING IN srRERr-CAR
ABOUT PEOPLE YoU DON'T KNOW.
From the Philadelphia News
1t was in street-car. Three ladies were
engaged in conversation. Their subject was
church matters and church people. Among
the latter was the wife of the pastor of one of
the leading Methodist congregations in the
city. The ladies said good many things
about her, some hattering and others decidedly
otherwise; some things that were true and
others that she would not have been willing to
admit TO be true. For nearly half an hour the
gossipers piled their avocation and. as the in
terest arose. so did the pitch of their voices.
All the time lady sat opposite them in the
car and quietly watched them. When one of the
gosslps remarked that she had never seen
the pastors wife referred to and the Others ex-
pressed a desire to see her, the silent watcher
smiled After awhile the car reached the
point where the lady wished to alight She
arose, but before starting toward the door laid
her hand on the arm of one of the three who
were engaged IN conversation, and with a self
possessed smile, said:
Ladies. You have expressed a desire to see
me. Here am. i have too keen a sense of
humor to leave the car without telling YOU I
am the lady you have been talking about.
Now, let me give you little sensible advice.
Inc next time You are in a street car don't talk
SO loudly, for some one might hear you who
would not enjoy it as hugely as have. Good
afternoon"
The lady left the car and the faces of the
gossipers were picture of establishment and
discontinue The other passengers smiled.

Three New York Notabilities.

From the Epoch
Nobody in New York is better known, either
in or out of society, than Mrs. John Sherwood
Her manners are as charming as her recep-
tions, which are the rendezvous of talent and
faihion. She is given to reading for charity.
She is also an authority on points of etiquette,
and has written innumerable essays on deport-
ment. She has seen much of the world and
has known and still knows many people worth
knowing. She dresses in style altogether her
own, and she has one of the most musical of
voices. Her daughter-in-law sculptures like q
professional.
Mrs. Paran Stevens may be best described as
the McAllister of her sex. She is tall, stout
and distinguished looking. She is affable in
manner, but like Ratisha in the '.Mikado,s she
has will Of her own and says what she thinks
regardless OF consequences. Her house is the
haven of the travelling nobility of all countries
while her Sunday evenings" are one of the in.
situations of New York. She has lately lost the
services Of French maid and a casket of dia.
monds, and she has also lately announced her
intention Of throwing bomb" into society al
large. Her daughter is married to one of the
Anglesey Pagets, and the Prince of Wales il
godfather of her grandson.
One OF the best known members of the
Jeunesse dOree, of New York, is Mr.. Ted
Kelly. He is a small, curly-headed, spunky,
young man of some five and twenty summers
with pretty smile and a millionaire father
He is fond of pleasant company and good liv-
ing, and is continually inventing new beverages
and new dishes, the latest of which is a SYM
phony of oyster, crabs and little-neck clans.
He has horses and dogs and grooms without
number, and he keeps steam yacht He and
his are smart people,

Couldn't Find the Air Cushion.

the CnlcagO herald
1t was one afternoon during the later years
of Wilbur F. Storey's life that A. S. Trude, then
attorney for his paper, received peremptory
telephone message from the editor to ''come
over at once" This could not be disregarded
and the lawyer hurried over to the newspaper
Office. MIR. Storey was out of temper He said
thata man had put an air cushion of some sort
under the elevator in the building, and now in
sisted upon pay for it or declared that he would
take it out. Mr.. Story said he did not want to
pay for the air cushion, as Mr.. Patterson had
told him 1t was no good and he did not care
to walk up and down stairs, SO he asked Mr..
Trude to stop any attempt to interfere with
the elevator. Mr.. Trude was at loss what
to do for moment He went down to see Mr..
Patterson, and they secured the assistance
OF Mr.. Storey's colored man, whom they di-
rected to go into the elevator car and raise it
high enough to allow them to go under it.
MIR. Trude argued that if they could take out
the air cushion and put it aside until the pat
entee called for it he could not interfere with
the running of the elevator. Well, he and
Patterson CROPPED around at the bottom of the
shaft in search of the air cushion, and then
they finally realized that the ''air cushion
was only name. and that the patent con-
sisted of the tight fit of the car in the shaft so
that the compressed air beneath it would ease
a sudden fall. That was why Trude could not
find the air cushion, and Mr.. Storey was angry
at being charged with something he had not
got

A Bad Year for Plumbers,

From the Springfield Union
Gould you give poor man a few pennies,
ma'am, to keep his wife and seven small chill
dren from starving?"
No, never-Why! It's Mr.. Faucet, our
old plumber isn't it? What has brought you
to this, Mr. Faucet?"
''Oh, it's the want of billiards., ma'am
None of my customers have had a single pipe
burst this winter. If they had I'd been living
in plenty, a'am."

Doing Good.

From the 81. Louis Globe-Democrat.
There" said a neighbor, pointing to vii
iage carpenter, "there is a man who has done
more good, really believe. in this community
tnan any other person who ever lived in it,
he cannot talk very much in public, and he
does not Try He is not worth e., 600, and it is
very little he can put down on subscription
papers But new family never moves into
the village that he does not find it out and give
them a neighborly welcome and offer them
some service He is on the lookout TO give
strangers seat in his pew at church. He is
always ready to watch with sick neighbor and
look after his affairs for him. I believe he and
his wife keep house plants in winter mainly
that they may be able to send little bouquets to
friends and invalids. He finds time for pleas
ant word to every child he meets, and you'll
always see them climbing into his one-horse
wagon when he has no other load He has a
genius for helping folks. and Il does me good
to meet him in the streets"

Embalmed by the Air.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press
There are on exhibition in the rooms Of the
State Mining bureau at st. Francisco four "des-
located human bodies" that were found by
Signor s. Marghier in a sealed cavern at an
elevation of 1900 feet on the eastern side of
the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico. The
bodies were found in q sitting posture. with
the hands crossed on the breasts, the heads in
clined forward and facing the east. Two adults,
male and female, were side by side, and by the
side of the man was q boy and q girl by the
side Of the woman. The bodies were appar-
emily dried by the air, no embalming process
being used. They are not like any known In
dams Of to-day, the hands and feet being par
ticularly small, and the woman's hair brown
and silken. The womsn's forehead is large and
the reasoning powers were apparently well
developed In the lobe of each ear is a piece
OF hollow reed. The burial garments are of
cotton, hide, grasses, and the bark of willows.
In addition, the little girl is covered with the
skin Of some animal.
