The eIeelINe GIRL.
WHY She Is Looked Upon as Inabeciie Dy
the Average Mortal.

the Average Mortal
From boys in their boobyhood' ana
girls in their gigglehood. may the fates
protect us. A laugh is laugh the
world over. 1t is spasmodlc, soul
sneeze, and as contagious as measles.
Whether it is the laugh of joyous youth
or cackling age it delights or amuses.
But a giggle is worse than the PARALLEL
thorns under a pot. 1t is the echo OF
emptiness. As rule men do NOT gig
gle. They would be worse than a st.
Bartholomew massacre if they did.
1t is the American girl who giggles,
the ubiquitous American girl who
defes all known laws, goes where she
will, does what she pleaseS and is law
unto herself OF course she is irresist-
ible and loving, and some day makes a
grand, good woman. She would not
be the American girl otherwise. But
she giggles and protests, protests and
giggles If she were the trained prod
uct of young ladies' seminary, we
should say her giggles were hysteria
of the Imagination. But she is not a
trained product of any school. She
was a petted and spoiled child; she is
a petted and spoiled young woman.
She giggles from habit. No one has
ever undertaken to suppress her, so she
goes on giggling. Here is fair sam
pie of the conversation of a group OF
the American girls:
"Oh, girls, you just ought to hav'
been at Mrs. Stevens party. George
Smith and Harry Jones were there,
and-oh, te-he-he."
"Oh, te-he-te-he-he-heo oh, he-he-he.'
Il wore my pink silk and spilleS
coffee on the front breadth-te-he."
Observation-Disclosures careless
te-he-he-he-he.

''Oh te-he-he-how sad pom Nellif

$50 do I; te-he-he- he-te-he.
Perhaps this is the language that was
invented to conceal thought. Girls
don't giggle. Throw back your heads
expand your pretty tnroats and laugh
till the well1in rings. 1t will do yoc
good and make all who hear yor
happy.
Laugh, and the world will laugh

TWO MEN AT DINNER.
Difference Between an Englishman and

Difference Between an Englishman and Q
Frenchman at a Table d'Hote.:
''The Rnglshman is big, square, red,
hairy. He has breakfasted at nine
o'clock and walked all day with few
minutes rest for lunch. He calls for
champagne sec. He guzzles the soup;
he does not taste it. He drenches the
fish in some black English sauce, and
sends it after the soup. In regular
order follow roast and vegetable and
game. But whether tough or tender,
cooked to a turn or burned to a crisp,
your Englishman knows little and cares
less. He continues to soak everything
with the dark sauce, augmented by
mustard and black pepper. The des-
sert finds him slightly congested, but
full. He is row going to stuff his short,
briarwood pipe with black tobacco, and
enjoy it between sips of the more than
questionable coffee, and he will round
off with B. & S. And when he men,

hungry. He finds the menu impossible
from the first glance. He foresees the
watery soup in which will be floating

SOME ENGLISH IDEAS.
A Few Facts About Things on This 81
of the Water.


of the Water.
For my part, I could almost wish
that we in England would give up
making &ay comments on American
literature, manners or social habits.
We can make none that will give
pleasure; we can hardly speak without
making what is recognized as mis-
take. If we praise, we praise the
wrong thing; if we blame, our blame is
mere ignorant jealousy. This | know,
for have tried, in an Ineffective but
hearty manner, to praise Mark Twain
as one of the greatest of living genuises
(perhaps it is not saying much) who
now uses the English language. Yet
this humble appreciation has not
seemed to be welcome to all literary
Americans. They are not as proud of
Mark as one could wish On the
other hand, if chance to describe
the style of an esoteric Ameri-
can novelty, a queer medley of bad
Ruskin and Indifferent Bret Harte, l
am once more looked down upon from
the frozen heights of literary disap-
probation. The fact is that over here
we do not know what is the correct
thing either in current American liter
allure or society. We admire Amer
lean authors whom American critics
despise; we have never heard of
authors whom the more serious Amer
lean reviews, which ought to know,
distinguish by their applause. 1t is
the same thing, of course, in America.
There they appreciate English writer's
who are not or have not yet become
prophets in our own country, and they
disregard some very considerable
(minor) prophets of our own alto
gether. We do not mind this much;
in our fine native bumptiousness We
fancy we know best. But one can
easily imagine that, to an American
man of letters, English praise of a
countryman of his whom he does not
admire seems another proof of our
ularity.-Murrau'S Magazine.

AN uNFoueHT DUEL
. Nav York Lawyer Tells Good STORY "
Ante BelIum Days.


Ante BelIum Days.
wel,-known lawyer of this city tells
a good story of ante-bellum Times sna-
;resmucb as it is more or less histor-
ical will bear repeating. The story Is
about as follows: 1t was somewhere IL
1913 or Whereabouts. Party 1eellng, "'
between North and South, was running
pretty strong, and more especially was
this the case in Washington "nere
CONGRESS- was in session. Congressman
Fetherstone, of Mississippi. saw ut one
dav during a Congressional slttl1g
to refer to the conduct OF a certain IL
linois regiment, commanded by MAJOR
Bissell. at one of the battles OF the Mex
lean war as being cowardly. Major
Bissell, who was also Congressman
was present on the floor at the time.
His ire was reused to its highest pltch'
and, going over to where Congressman
Fetherstone stood, he shook his fist IN
his face and shouted:
"Cowardly! Why, you contemplate
liar, why don't you refer to the conduct
of the Mississippi regiment which all
during the action, and while we were
in the thick of the fight, was more than
half mile away and hadn't drawn
trigger"
The Mississippi regiment referred to
happened to have been commanded by
Colonel jeff Davis, who was also then
in Washington. and who when he heard
of Major Bissell's remarks demanded an
apology This Major Bissell would not
give, and Colonel Davis sent "a friend"
to fix up matters. The result of this
negotiation was a challenge for duel,
which was to have been fought the day
following. ''Zack" Taylor was Presi-
dent at the time, and as JEFF Davis was.
his son-in-law he was bound that the
duel should not come off, and accord
ingfy issued warrant for Major Bis
sells arrest Major Bissen was duly
arrested by United States marshal
and brought before the President.
'See here, Mr.. President" said the
Major, ''you have had me arrested be-
cause 1 am going to fight duel Why
do you arrest me? / am not the chal-
longing party. Why don't you arrest
your son-in-law, Colonel DavisP The
Southerners will all say that l became
afraid and had myself arrested to avoid
the consequences of fight if you allow
this to 60 on"
This argument seemed to strike ''Old
Zach" who thereupon caused the an
rest of his son-in-law, Colonel Davis
After much persuasive diplomacy on
the part of the President the would-be
duelists were brought together and the
quarrel was patched up. Both parties
are now living. Major Bissell served
with distinction during the late war
and is now living in retirement on a
farm in Illinois, and everyone knows
the subsequent history of Colonel"
Davis.-N. y Herald.

ARMENIAN WOMEN.
A Vivid Sketch of Their Home and SOci
Life and Customs.

Vivid Sketch of Their Home and Social
Life and Customs.
The Armenians belong to two classes
the kalun, or coarse" and the inge,
or refined" The former are mem
bers of the Gregorian, or Natio:lal,
Armenian Church. They are con-
sentative, and especially in the inte
rior adhere rigidly to their ancient
Oriental manners and customs, which
the inge, who belong to the Roman
Catholic Church and copy European
manners, have in great measure set
aside.
In Armenia the women are secluded
to the extent of dining and sitting
apart from the men, and out of doors
they are cloaked and vailed like the
Turkish women. The Armenian la
dies of Constantinople are renowned for
their beauty, which consists chiefly in
the langn1lr of their dark, almond
shane< -rzs. As rule, however, the
armenian type is coarse, especially
among the lower classes.
In the capital and in Smyrna, where
his community is numerous, the up
per classes of both Gregorians and
Catholics are well educated and not
much inferior in manners to their
neighbors of other races. While re-
siding in the latter city / was invited
to an Armenian fancy dress ball,
where l was the only European
present. Every thing was well
arranged. The stewards were perfect
in their duties, and the costumes were
extremely rich, varied and picturesque.
One pretty girl in particular-dressed
in the ancient Turkish costume-Rade
a great sensation. and was deservedly
besieged by partners, for she waltzed
most gracefully. Many of the ladies
and gentlemen present spoke English,
nearly all expressed themselves
fuently in French, and was indebted
to them for most enjoyable evening.
In the privacy of their homes the
Armenian women of all classes are as
a rule untidy and slatternly. They
are passionately fond of finery, and -
the towns, having discarded tne2r
national costume, thny cop the Paris
ian fashions. But 5ir want of taste
seldom fails to make itself evident in
glaring and ill-assorted colors, while
those who can afford it overload them
selves with jewelry. Out of doors
they wear preposterously high-heeled
French boots, on which they totter
along the roundly- saved streets, but
on returning home they exchange
these for slippers run down at the
heels and their toilets for petticoats
and jackets, the latter of thin calico
in summer and fur-lined stuff in win
ter.-Cor, Chicago Tribune.
