Two ladies met IN one of our fashion

One of the ladies in the course Of con

Did he? How strange that he should

twenty-five years since he had seen
you.
Dear. dear. Is it possible it is 50
long as that %
"Yes. And he said he would go q
long way just to look at you again.
Sid he? How nice of him. And
what did you say ?"
ooh, L told him you were not as well
worth looking at now as you were
twenty-five years ago. It's true, isn't
it, dear ?"

Setting the Fashion.

Hard work viii accomplish wonders,
but it Will not take the place of genius
Some things must be done suddenly
and in a moment of inspiration. A
writer in the Philadelphia Record
mentions a case in point, a case in
which a social revolution was wrought,
so to speak, by a stamp of the foot.
once found a celebrated MILNE r
in tears because a gem of hat, the
result of many attempts, had failed to
suit a very fussy customer. Her feel
ings getting the better of her judg-
ment, she threw the condemned hat
on the floor, and jumped on it, crush
ing it into an entirely new shape.
A clerk, who had seen this Outburst
of temper, put the misused hat away
in the drawer. Half an hour later a
lady customer came in, and another
clerk, after showing her nearly all the
hats and bOnnets in the stock and fail
ing to please her fancy, brought forth
the crushed hat, with the remark: :
Here is something that will suit you ?"
To my surprise it did suit her. She
purchased it, and insisted upon wear
ing it at once. Calling at the same
place a week afterward, I was told
that some half-dozen hats had been
made like the crushed one, and were
being worn by very fashionable people.

to consider as secondary the art of an

"That was a baseball game, was

"Of course it was. Why do you ask
that?"

wac Manuscrfpt OF KenfIWortll.

A W ritter in MGcnljLlG9CS Magazine
says: I was looking not long ago at
the manuscripts Of "KeniIworth" in the
British Museum, and examined the end
with particular care, thinking that the
wonderful scene of Amy Robsart's
death must surely have cost Scott some
labor. They were the cleanest pages
in the volume. I do not think there
was a sentence altered or added In the
whole chapter. And what is still more
wonderful, he could dictate with the
same rapidity. Three of his novels,
and they are among his best-@A Lee
gend of MOntrOse," "Ivanhoe," and
"The Bride of LRmmermOOr'2- were in
a great part dictated, the last entire
so, owing to Ill health; but his amanu-
enses declare that they could hardly
keep pace with him. During the pro-
gross of "The Bride of LammermOor'
his pain was sometimes such that
strong man as he was, he fairly
screamed aloud, but with the next
breath he would continue the sentence
as though nothing had happened. On
one occasion his agony was so great
that he was begged to give over till it
had passed. "Nay," was the answer,
"OnIy see that the doors are fast. I
would fain keep all the CRY as well as
the wool to ourselves, but as to giving
over the work, that can only be done
when I am dead.

virtues. marriage IS the d1reS6 curse
that can befaQ a woman. Let us fit

YOU ever ask for an explanation OF the
difference as to wrinkles, bent shout
ders and hollow eyes In men and
women of the same age? A man at 40
is little more than q boy grown tall.
His physical powers are at their best,
his nerves mistaken. A woman at the
same age is often a wreck. And why?
Did YOU ever think of how many things
the wife has to think of and plan for
In domestic life, while her husbands
mind is conferred only upon one? What
man goes to his counting house or desk
and bends over his accounts with
visions dancing before him OF how his
last years trousers can be dyed, and
turned, and cut over to fit the require
ments of this seasons fashion? What
man is called upon to solve the prob
lem Of what in Egypt to get to eat
three times day for 365 days IN a
mortal year -? What man has to keep
trOtting up and down stairs to answer
calls and nurse cross babies, and
direct green girls, and find lost balls,
until his back and his legs ego
queer, and he covers his face with his
coat-taiI and weeps aloud? The aver
age man goes out into this world and
chooses his life as men pick ripe peach
es off tree-alI summed and sweetened
to the taste, with a flavor that never
pals, but endures with infinite gustO
to the end. The average woman takes
her life canned and labeled to order,
like the same fruit prepared without
regard to Individual taste or selection.
Destiny did up the job and sheIved it /;
all there is left for her to do is to adapt
herself to the inevitable, and not yearn
any more than she can help after the
unattainabIe. Blessed be the girls
whom wise parents and a benefcent
providence have put in the way of
choosing their own peaches from out
the orchard where they ripen and red
den in the sun, rather than accepting
them in a tin can with g. trade mark

KING KALAKAUA, having figured up
and found out that he does not owe but
$4,000, has concluded to take in the
Paris Exposition this summer. The
announcement that the quarterly allow

Artistic Indifference

I must mention a melancholy fact
which shows how Fictitious is the taste
of the public for art, says a Paris cor
respondent. People go In shoals to an
art exhibition when tits fashionable"
one; it is the proper thing then. 1t
seems that the exhibition of Barye's
works is not fashionable, for no one
goes to it; the entrance fees scarcely
amount to more than guinea a day.
Although the hall has been lent by the
Beaux Arts school, the expenses will
not be covered; and yet some of the
bronzes exposed are perfect master
pieces, worthy Of Grecian art. Barge
is the first sculptor who ever modelled
animals as they really are. Before his
time people were satisfied with the
Wigged lions, such as those that deco
rate Trafalgar square; triumphs OF con-
ventionality, negations of truth. He
took the trouble to 60 to Jardin des
Plantes and study the living model
and although the king Of the desert
does not come out to his full advantage
In a cage, still Barge modelled mar
Yeious things. He loved all Wild azi-
maIs-even elephants, buheIoes, and
rhinoceEoses, dogs, stagss roes, goats

While tearing down an old chimney

men were astonished to find imbedded
in the mortar toad in a somewhat in

4 Valuable Tfmeniece.

Chief of Police Packard Of Hartford,
Conn, carries a watch that is indeed a
novelty, as we'll as a valuable time
piece. Without opening the watch,
the time of day or night to the minute
can be ascertained. By pushing down
a spring on the outer edge of the case,
the hour Is given by the striking of a
miniature gong, as are also the quarter
hours and minutes. If, in the night,
the owner wishes to know the time, it
Is learned in q very few seconds, and
is found out in this way: If it is six
minutes to 3 o'clock, one of three little
gongs VIII strike two; two gongs then
strike alternately three strokes, and
another gong strikes nj le-two hours,
three quarters and nine minutes, max
ing the exact time six minutes to 3.
The Chief said that clever. years ago
the watch would cost 81, 200, but at
the present time the watches are sold
for $3.50.
