A""::, uTtinn#l courtcsics may he
rnul:.~.":sl that which governs the CON
dict of PERSONS ill crowded public con-
vcyamccs. South of Mason ard Dixon's
liEa no nan would brave public opinion
by remaining seated when a woman
maintained Il standing position, even
were she the hu1nblest of her sex. A
foreigner would argue in such Il case
that he had paid for his seat, and that
there could be 10 more reason for his
rising in IL street car than if he We're oc-
cupying Il seat ut the opera OF at q hotel
table.
In New York, which is too cosmopoli-
tan Il city to be cited as an example,
street car etiquette is decidedly variable,
and whether or not it is necessary to va
cate Il seat in a lady's favor is a much
mooted question, One thing is certain,
and that is, that youth and beauty APP
peal to both high and low, even the
most boorish individual being willing to
%relinquish his rights in favor of a wom-
an with a pair of bright eyes and a styl-
ish figure.
The poor wage worker, in her faded
cotton gown and with fingers showing
evidences of toll, is rarely the recipient
of such courtesy. The man in broad
cloth, who has been seated in his lux
urious office most of the day, keeps his
seat without a qualm Of conscience, and
holds his paper before his face to OBJ
structt the view Of the appealing eyes and
worn figure.
Women in public vehicles often ex-
hibit a remarkable selfishness and q total
disregard for the comfort of others.
Many of them accept a seat to which
they have no legal right with saucy
toss of the head and without recognizing
the courtesy by as much as a bow OF a
thank YOU" An audible expression of
thanks is the least a lady should offer in
exchange for the sacrifice of q place,
and this should be rendered as freely to
the threadbaro clerk as to tho dude in
fine raiment.-Jenness-Mill Miller Magazine.

Two Paris Weddings.

Mile. Jeanne Hugo, granddaughter of
the celebrated poet, is betrothed to NJ.
Leon Daudet, son of the novelist, Al
phonse Daudet. The f%iancee, who is
very'handsome-her dowry also-is just
20, and the young mar is three years her
senior and a promising member of the
medical profession. For a long time the
youthful Leon, whose wonderful mon
key tricks made him the talk Of Paris,
was the boon companion Of NJ. Georges
Hugo, and both have been sketched in
Daudet's recent books-pranks, talk,
appearance and all. Another projected
union in the world of letters is that of
N. Paul Bourget, whose Occur de
Femme" is having such an immense

Rubber Rings His re.d.

For q long time Jumps Of crude rubber
and elastic bands have mysteriously van
ished from the counter of Morrissey's
"all night" pharmacy in Brooklyn. No
body was able to throw any light on the
enigma until Drug Clerk Bosworth made
a discovery.
1t was late at night and the store was
quiet. Trade had been dull for an hour
and Bosworth felt like taking a nap.
Just as he was about dropping off to
sleep he happened to look up and caught
q glimpse of "Doc," a big cat that lives
in the pharmacy. He was at lunch, and
was feasting on rubber bands.
One by one he extracted them from
their little glass receptacle and munched
away with evident relish. Bosworth did
not disturb him, but sat still and count
ed tho rings as they vanished down the
cats throat. When forty-three had
faded from view "Doc" stopped eating,
gave a wide yawn and stretched himself
out for an after dinner nap on top of a
showcase.
Having accidentally solved the mys-
terry, Bosworth resolved to Lave some
LUZ a1 boSo eApeiiSO, oo, dllcI t11C cat
had been doing for an hour, he called
him. "Doc" camo to the front quickly.
In his hand Bosworth held a large elias
tic band. This he extended toward the
cat. DOCS" eyes seemed to sparkle as
he contemplated the luscious morsel,
and without heAkstion seized it with
his teeth.
Bosworth, however, had a good grip
on the other end. When the cat pulled,
Bosworth pulled, too, but the little tug
of war did not last long, for the mis-
chievous clerk suddenly relaxed his hold
on the band, and as it snapped back it
caught the unlucky cat u singing cut
on the end Of his nose. He dropped the
band as if it were a hot potato, sprang
from tho counter and ran out of the
store with a cry of distress.
Since then, although Bosworth and
his friends, to whom he related the Incl
dent, have repeatedly tried to induce
"Doc" to submit to being hand fed with
rubber rings, he steadfastly refuses to
indulge. His abnormal appetite has
been cured.-New York Herald.

THE VANDERBILT CHILDREN.
They Are Carefully Educated and Sys
S,,,t:,ty, vu,;..

They Are Carefully Educated aud Sys.
tcinatically T:aincd.
Although all the members of the Van
1erbilt family entertain on magnificent
scale they never permit their children to
remain up late at night, are extremely
careful in their education, and, i'll a
word, are fitting them for life as we'll us
any mother or father could do. 1t is
ono Of the rules in all the houses of the
Vanderbilts that the children shall go to
bed early and rise early. The little boys
and girls are up before 2 o'clock in the
morning. Their nurses Immediately
take charge of them, see that they are
properly bathed and dressed, and then
they go down to breakfast, which is
served at half-past Z o'clock.
1t is an u~nprctentious meal, with
plenty of fresh milk, eggs, oatmeal and
a bit of steak or u chop that will add
strength to their physique and color to
their checks. After breakfast there is
an hour of study. There is something
for these little oncs to do at all times
during tho day. They go through their
studies systematically, and then, about
half-past 0, are taken out for n walk.
They are allowed to romp in tho streets
and in the parks to their hearts content.
At II o'clock they are brought home,
and n light luncheon of milk and bread
is served, after which there are more
studies-either French, German or draw
ing-and then another breathing spell;
it may be horseback riding, or a drive
out through the park and along the
country road.
Back they all come about 4 o'clock,
and there is another hour Of study, and
then they are through for the day. They
are allowed to do just as they please
until tea time, when after their meal
they spend pleasant hour or so with
their fathers and mothers and others
who may drop in to call. Promptly ut 8
o'clock they are all in bed to sleep
soundly, and get up the next morning to
60 through the same programme. So it
is not strange that all the children of the
Vanderbilt family are further in ad-
vance of their little friends in tho mat
ter of education. For they study, study,
study all the time. They are all fond of
music and most of them can play on the
piano.
The girls are learning to play on the
harp, and the boys are famous among
their friends as violinists and banjo
players. If you were to see these chill
dren on the street you would not for n
moment uspectthatthcy were other than
children Of parents in ordinary circum-
stances. They make no display at elabo-
rate dress. The eldest of Cornelius Van
derbilt's daughters is dressed plainly in
little, pretty, cheap dresses without any
braid o. ornamentation. She wears snug
fitting cloth jackets, and the little cap that
sits gracefully on her head could be du-
plicatedfor a couple >Adollars.-Cor. La

Julian

Julian Hawthorne stands six feet high,
andlooks like a short haired, m~odernized
edition of his father, who wrote "The
Scarlet Letter." He is a broad shout
dered, genial hammered man, with a
penchant for yachting in a blue pea
Jacket. He lives at Sag Harbor, is q
brother-in-law of George Parsons La
throp and the father Of large family.
Withal he is only four-and-forty, and he
has studied civil engineering at Dresden
and written novels in the south of Ire
land. Harvard is responsible for his
education, and he is a point blank refu-
tation of the theory that the sons of
great men are generally nobodies.-Ex-

Tho Ute Theory Of the Sun and the
Moon and Their Numerous Progeny.
During theyear the comet was stream
ing in the sky l was camping one night
in a canyon near the foot of Cooks Peak,
N. M.
In the party was an old and-for an
Indiana fairly intelligent Ute named
Sam. Sam had been attached to some
cavalry troop at Fort Cummings as Il
scout, but his day of leaving the service
being reached he attached himself to
me-for a consideration. Pointing to
the comet l asked Sam what he could
say in its defense from the standpoint
Of a Ute. Sam was, unlike most In
dams, n good single handed talker and
could speak English very well.
He was ambitious to perfect himself
in the language and readily seized on
every chance for n talk" IndecdI dis
covered him on or two occasions all
alone and talking vigorously at q mark,
like a savage Demosthenes sans the peb-
bles.
"Tell about thaty' said Sam, point
ing toward the comet. Sam do it
heap easy, you bet. The sun is the man
and he have moo for squaw. The stars
big stars and little stars-all are their
children. The sun don't like 'em and
chases 'em. II he catch one he eats it.
"This makes the stars heap 'fraid, and
when the SUI has his sleep over and
comes out the stars run and hide. When
the n comes stars go-creep into holes
and hide. But the moon is good.
"She loves her children, the stars, and
when the sun sleeps she comes out in tho
sky, and the stars are glad, and they
come out of the places they hide In and
forget to be 'fraid and play.
"But when the sun wakes again they
run. He is always after them, and he
catches them sometime. This one" con-
tinued Sam. again pointing at the comet.
"tho sun catch one time. He got away,
though, but the sun bite him and hurt
him. That's why he bleed 80. Now he's
heap scared, and so he keeps his face al
ways toward the place where the sun is

a Condemned Mans Nerve.

One of the coolest and most deliberate
attempts at suicide recorded is that Of
Benjamin Hunter, the murderer of John
Armstrong, in Camden, N. j., in 1870.
Hunter was confined in the "murderers'
cage" in the county Jail under charge of
the death watch. He complained of
chilliness n night, and was permitted
to wrap his lower cxtremities in a
blanket. lie had previously torn off the
rim of his tin cup with his teeth, and
had it concealed i'll his trousers pocket.
Talking Oh commonplace topics to his
guard, Hunter secretly took the Jagged
strip of tin from his pocket, and, con-
cealing his movements with the blanket,
began cutting into an artery in his left
leg.
The blood spurted out in jets, and the
flow was concealed by Hunter spreading
the blanket out like a skirt. He became
S o weak that he vas unable to continue
the conversation, and the guards sus-
picions were aroused. He made an ex-
animation, and found that the murderer
was bleeding to death. Physicians were
summoned, o ligature was applied and
Hunters life was saved. He was after
ward hanged, and it was pretty gener-
ally believed that no was dead from
fright and sedatives before the cord
frightened around his neck.-New York

Danger from musical Instrnna..u

A French military surgeon has been
making researches on wind instruments
which had been used by phthisical
bandsmen, and warns musicians of the
Importance of disinfection. He recon-
mends that instruments should be filed
with a 5 per cent. solution of carbolic
acid, or, in the case Of metallic instru-
ments, that they should be dipped into
boiling water. These precautions are of
the utmost Importance when phthisical
persons have used the instruments; for
it was found in such cases that LIQUIDS
used to wash them out presented q viru-
lence similar to that Of a pure culture of
tuberculosis.
Fortunately, the danger is small as
long as the interior is thoroughly moist.
which Of course it usually is; but when
an instrument has been lying by for
some time, SO that the interior has be-
come dry, there is real danger of air
containing dried germs of the disease
being drawn into the lungs of the person
who next plays upon it.-New York
