The Smallest Newsboy.

City Hall park yesterday. He was a little
4-year-old, chubby in face and still baby; yet
he had an armful of papers, including bundle

a newsboy, and he was surrounded by a dozen
or more lads, all older than himself who were
shrieking and yelling like so many Comanches
The wee fat legs waddled past the court house
into Chambers street, at the head of the queer
procession, and the childish voice piped Ere

in chorus. Forgetting their sales for the mo-

An oracla Sneaks.
From the Boston transcript

FROM Tue OOStDH LfUHSCFtpt.
PEOPLE who imagine that they are talking
slang when they cali such a day as this a
''muggy'' day, and put the word, as they often
do. in a sort of vocal quotation marks, if
they felt philologically little wicked in using
it, may be treasured when they are told what
the history of the word really is. The Listener
asked several people this morning what the
word came from. One thought that it had its
origin in the fact that, on such a day as this,
drops Of perspiration always stood on the out
side of mugs that are full of water. The List
ener himself having noted that on such day,
the air always smells of root beer as one passes
through the street, had half come to the con-
clusion that the word had been communicated
to the language from the mugs of root beer
that have from time immemorial pervaded
human life on such days.
But how long people sometimes will speculate
over the meaning or derivation of a word before
they look it up in the dictionary ''Muggy," as
Webster straightway Informs us, is not a slang
word at all. but very old English word indeed
older even than the English language itself.
1t comes from the provincial English mug,
meaning fog, which is the same as the Welsh
mwg, smoke think how much worse a mwggy
day must be than even muggy oneD and the
Icelandic mugga. mist 1t is allied with the
word rnoky which means about the same thing
and also with the word murky Looking up
this etymology, one is confronted with the cir
cumstance that the wretched slang word
'.moke.if applied to black man, may be good
English after all, and means simply foggy,
smoky person.

DON'T Take Her Arm, Young Man.


1.-THE question is often put to me,n said a
lady whose opinion in matters of etiquette
is wholly competent" whether it is ever
permisslDfe TO take a young ladys arm in
acting as her escort on promenade after
nightfall. Unhesitatfngly and peremptorily,
no. Not after nightfali, nor by daylight,
nor at any other ting. An invalid may
lean upon yeung ey5eman's arm; grand
father, II be IS lntlrm, may avail himself
of a similar shppl4rt,I and a Broadway
policeman seems 20 have acquired the
the right to prepelg bis. charges in petit
coats across that thoroughfare by grasp
upon the arm. but these are the only
male persons SO privileged. For an ac-
Quaintance, friend, or one who aspires
to still nearer place. to take the arm of a
young woman when walking with her on a
public highway is inexcusable. You may
be sure nothing will so quickly offend her
good taste, although she may lack the social
skill to resent and avoid it. And the spec
tacle in itself is most unpleasing. To see a
young woman pushed along, a little in front
of her escort, by his clutch upon her arm, is
neither suitable nor picturesque. Itreverses
all preconeeived ideas of gallantry. The
fair should lean upon the brave. Virile
strength ought ever to support feminine
frailness. Offer her your arm, young man,
every time, and never under any circum-
stances commit the familiarity and offensa
of taking hers, u

A PRETTY SAMOAN WOMAN LEFT
ALONE.
The Wife of a Young American Who
Has Disappeared.
From the Melo York Tribune.

From the Nei1 YORK tribune.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 18.-Lauly Maleti,
the only native Samoan woman in this
country, is in great grief at her home in
Alameda because of the mysterious disap-
pearance of her husband, Alexander A.
Willis, young American contractor and
builder. He left home few days ago and
no trace of him can be found. She fears
suicide, but his friends say that he became
hopelessly involved by large building con-
tracts and has fed to Australia. The Sa-
means are so strongly attachedsto their
native islands that Lauly is the first IN
stance OF full-blooded Samoan who has
voluntarily exiled herself. Love brought
her to. America, and she recently
told in book of personal "reminiscences
her love adventures. 1t seems that seven
years ago Willis went to Apia to build
houses for a German planting company.
Lauly. who was the daughter of ruling
chief of Apia, and related by blood to
Malietoa, met him on the steamer as it
entered the harbor. One of the passengers
lnsulted Samoan girl, and Willis promptly
knocked him down. This was the begin
ming of a courtship which soon ended in
their marriage. They had one pretty boy,
now six years old. Two years ago they
came to Alameda, where Willis was elected
vice president OF the Cal1ornla building
Association. He took too many contracts,
lost money, and to save himself from his
creditors he either fed or ended his life.
What makes it very sad for his Samoan
wife, far away from home md kindred, is
that Willis transferred the house she lived
In to pressing creditor, and she will thus
be dispossessed. She is not more than
~ with pretty features and beautiful eyes.
She dresses like an American girl, and is
very skIllful with her needle. Her book,
which was published here about two months
ago, had no sale, because it was so badly
written. Her friends here win probably
send her back to her people in Samoa, with
whom she has regularly corresponded.

A curious and amusing chapter might
indeed be written about the beds of Illus
trious personages. The ex-Empress Eugene
IS quite as particular about her bed as the
Duchess OF Edinburgh or our gracious SOW
erelgn, and quite agrees with the first
named lady as to the tineness of the linen
ana the tfghtness of the drawing of the
sheets, but her imperial majesty has an odd
fancy to have her bed so low as to give a
visitor to the imperial bed chamber the i'm
preston that the widow of Caesar is almost
sleeping on the floor. 1t is indeed hardly
elevated more than a foot from the floor.

Vate apartments at st. Cloud, Compiegne
