Girls Who Box.

Ada Rehan of the Lyceum Theatre ccm-
pany, is said to be an expert boxer, and the
story is told of how she has punished Maurice
Barrymore with six ounce gloves. Barry
moro was the middleweight champion Of
England, and, not supposing Miss Rehan pos
sessed any skill, he carelessly defended him
self, and received a singing blow in the face.
There is beautiful English girl not more
than &c, living just opposite Stuyvesant
square, who is fond Of this sort of exercise.
The boardcrs at the house in which she lives
are daily treated to contests with the gloves
between the rosy checked English girl and
the male boarders The girl has rosy cheeks,
at which many severe blows are aimed with
out reaching home. She understands all Of
the different ''cuts" that are given in the
prize ring, and says that she would rather
see q prize fight than a society drama, only
her mother won't allow her to 60 to them
because there are too many tough men pres
eut.

Husband and Wife.

Many couple not realizing in marriage
today the happiness they expected, nor the
happiness they had during courtship, could
commence for each other their paradise for
eternity by commencing where some leave
OF, even at the altar-commencing the period
Of courtship over again; commencing the re-
nowal Of the little civilities and attentions
which characterized that period; the desire
to please each others eyes in care, taste and
neatness of attire; the control of temper and
demeanor in each others presence; the check
ing of the cutting retort or sarcasm-com-
neacing to restore those certain barriers and
formaEtias Of etiquette which it is never safe
for man and wife to disregard and tramplo
over.-Prentico milford

Roses Worth a Dollar Apiece.

"Do you know" said the polite lady clerk
Of one of our floral establishments, that at a
recent fashionable wedding in this city the
brides bouquet cost $50!"
"How was that"
"Wen, the order from the groom was for
fifty roses, and as they were Of very rare
species We had to send on to the Botanical gar

was for fifty brides roses, which cost 81
apiece. Cincinnati Telegram.

a FAvoRITE WITH THE QUEEN.
81 suppose you really went through those
adventures with house boat" l asked.
"Oh, good gracious, yes!" was the energetic
reply, "but I'll never do so again. / really
thought we should never have got through,
but my Scotch determination won the day.
Poor old boat gave her to Alfred Par

was to so straight to the bottom at Henley.
He iished her up, however; but it was a
great mistake our going with no knowledge
of the proper heights and widths of the
bridges" Having heard that Mr.. Black is
one Of those few novelists read by the queen,

said he, ~ never heard it She loves the
Highlands and the people, and you know
do, so that doubtless my books interest her
so far; indeed l happen to know that she
was much pleased with one of them. You

Wild Engine.
One of the most unique and fortunate 40
cidents ever recorded happened at the Cleve
land, Lorraine and Wheeling railroad, just
over the river. The yard engine was left on
the track with steam up, while the crew went
to dinner. In some unknown way, it is sup
posed by the tampering of small boys, the
trottle was opened just as passenger train
| passed and the switch was thrown open. The
engine quickly acquired momentum until it
was dashing at a speed Of sixtySmiles an hour
over the crooked tracks, for the most part
built on high trestles Over the river it
whizzed past the astonished people along the
line clear to Bellaire, five miles from the
starting point where itcrashed into long
train of freight cars heavily laden with coke.
The engine was demolished and it rained
coke for rods in all directions, the train being
broken into atoms By the merest accident
nobody was hurt, but the money loss was
heavy.-Wheeling Cor. st. Louis Republic.

and the reason is not difficult to ascertain.
In order to properly hug his best girl the
mans arm must be firmly clasped around the
waist, and naturally the waist has to be re-
duced to a size that will insure the frmness
of the aforesaid clasp. Art is all well enough

An Alligator in a Tree.

John Wilson, living near here, cut a big
cypress tree in the swamp north of town, and
found therein a live alligator seven feet long.
As the opening in the tree was not half large
enough for the gator to get through, the
presumption is that it crawled in when quite
young and lived on other animals and rep
tiles that sought refuge in the same tree
