And Then They Smiled.

They met in horse car. two young
women, whose tawny faces showed that
they were just back from the seashOre,
and when they had kissed and embraced
and been through all the preliminary
nonsense necessary to the occasion, one
SAID to the other:
ooh, you dear thing! l had such q
Irritation with your husband while you
were down east. He came down 10
Nantasket almost every night
Yes, he wrote me about it, the
other returned sweetly. He said you
didn't seem to know anybody and were
SO lonely he quite pitied yOu.'
He was always so kind to neglected
girls the first speaker murmured.
You know they said when you were
married that he would have taken all
the wall flowers if he could, he was 80
generous
And then they smiled lovingly on
each other.

Wanted: A National Air.

America is as yet unprovided with a
national air possessing the breadth and
dignity worthy of a great country.
There are several tunes that by force OF
association have been adopted in lieu
of melody worthy of the dignity.
Hail Columbia is weak and color
less production. The Star Spangled
Banner is suggestive of horse parade
In a circus. MY Maryland is an old
German air of no striking merit. MY
Country IT'S of Thee Is adapted to the
English national air God Save the
Queen Then we have 'DIxle' an old
negro tune; John Brown, an old camp
meeting effusion, and the inappropriate
Yankee Doodle
Tie time has now arrived for some
of our native musicians to devote thelI
best energies to the production OF an
air that stall be worthy Of the occa-
sion, and typical of this great nation

Miss /. Q. NEAL, of New York city,
has invented baby's bath tub, made
of pure rubber on strong cloth, and
folded over a pretty frame of bamboo,
which can be enlarged as the child
grows older. Underneath it is hard
rubber faucet for the water outlet. One
end is furnished with convenient
pockets for toilet articles, and the other
end with clothes and towel bracket. 1t
is raised sufficiently from the floor to
make it convenient for the baby's
bather to sis in chair. When folded
up, the bath is about four inches thick
and thirty-six inches long, and can be
used as valise for carrying clothes.

THE Colorado Legislature has bill
on its calendar which provides for the
punishment and dlsbarment of any law
yer found guilty Of advertising his readi-
ness and ability to procure divorces.
The object is to reach that class of law
yers who fatten upon divorce cases,
which many times would be settled
without a resort to the courts were it
not for the alluring promise of secrecy
in the process Of severing the marriage
ties. 1t is argued that such law would
decrease the number Of divorces.

THE Koreans have prohibitory law
that might furnish an illustration for a
como journal. The city gates are closed
from dark until dawn. and the penalty
is death to the guardsman who opens
them to admit any and during that
period. The result is that generations
of belated Koreans, who could not get
in at the gate, have worn staircase
Of crevices i'll the wall by which to
mount to the gate tower, and ropes are
provided with which the guardsmen
will haul them up for regular fees, of
which the mandarIns get percentage.
But the gates remain closed.

The law to pay a bounty for the ears
and heads of certain animals and birds
is not popular among the legislators.
They hold that the farmer who will not
kill a fox unless he is paid for doing so
ought to have his chickens carried off
by SLY Reynard. In some of the coun-
ties payment of these bounties became
a great burden and amounted to many
hundreds Of dollars The bounties also
were premiums paid to fraud, many of
the wild animals and the birds having
been killed out of the State.

"a STORY comes from Europe to the
effect that the two vessels, one loaded
with silver, which went down in the
Gulf Of Finland more than a century
ago. have been found. Both hulls were
completely covered with seaweeds,
which were partly cleared away. when
the divers recovered the remains OF
apples, cucumbers and shoes, together
with numerous corked bottles, which
burst the moment the air reached them.
One of the vessels ties some distance
out at sea from Jussaro, and the exam
nation Of it was interfered with by a
great heavy stone which rested on its
deck. The stone constituted part of
the crafts cargo.

THE Leavensworth Times hopes that
the chartaLly inclined people of the
East Will not lie humbugged by the old
story about the destitution in western
Kansas, which has begun its annual
rounds. The Times says that Kansas

titution within her borders, and that
the parties who make application for
aid for alleged destitute people have
usually managed to make very comfort

1t is relate of clergyman who was
the happy father of charming and
beautiful daughter. that one day while

His daughter, happening In the study,
