Plucky Woman and Mouse.
CFrom the Teyiston ME Journal

There are nervous women and woman of
nerve. Il was one of the latter to whom this
item refers. She attended prayer-meeting
last evening, and in the midst of the services
a mouse made its way across the room and
crawlsd up her clothing. Did che swoon, or
scream, or go into Mysteries, or do any other
riGiculous thipga Not she. AdroitlY pas
sing her hand down over her drees, she locat-
ed the little 'tvarmint, "and held him fast till
the prayer then being offered had reached its
final amen, when she quietly and deliberate
ly retired to the adjoining room, and with
the assistance of the janitor dispatched the
sly intruder. But as we said at the beginning
there are nervous women and women OF
nerve-and here is where the funniest part of
this item comes in. When she had returned
to the prayer room, and the meeting had
closed, in relating her adventure, of which all
had been blissfully ignorant, several ladies'
came near fainting at the mere thought of .
like experience.

FLAGs oYER a0HO0I.HousEs.


The idea that it would be q good thing to
have the Star Spangled Banner float over all
public school houses as teacher Of patriot
ism to the pupils is fast gaining ground.
Among the first buildings to be thus deco-
rated IL parochial school building in one of
the Massachusetts, towns. A bill now before
the Massachusetts, Legislature requiring cities
and towns to display the national flag over
all their school houses at public expense. is
provoking vigorous protest against compul-
sorry patriotism. The Boston Herald thinks
the matter might 'better be left to the
Judgment of city or town authorities; or,
better still, to individual effort like that
which has already provided many of our
school houses with the national colors." The
Globe uses the effective argument of figures.
Gas there are 3,549 such buildings" 1t says,
''the expense cannot be less than $50, 900. A
flag exposed to the weather will not last
more than two years, SO the expense will not
be less than $e5, 900 year. Are the rising
generation SO deficient in patriotism that
this expense is necessarya We trow not"
If flags over school houses would teach
children patriotism the expense would not be
worth minding. And if such flags would
even teach them 90 that they could remem-
ber how many States there are in this Union
something would be gained. The idea is an
attractive one, but great many people will
think 1t much more sentimental than prao
tical. II the scholars in each school would
taxa intarest enough to provide the Aao Il
would probably be the best plan.

of the kind is one of the imperative needs of

innumerable letters were received from

this kind.
The failure Of the mackerel catch this
yesr set the Provincetowners to dsvising
ways snd.means for protecting their industry,
and Captain Chase, veteran fisherman,
conceived the project of trying the waters
off the Cape of Good Hope. So he fitted out
his schooner, the Alice Chase, and sailed Oe-
tober 8 for Cape Town. The captain got
little encouragement in his undertaking, for
| scientists had said that there are no true
mackerel south of the equator, but letter
received from him shows that his venture ia
being crowned with success. Captain Chase
writes that he found maekerel in plenty and
could not tell tho difference between them
and the fish on the coast. The fish average
from Is to II inches in length and as the
season advances will make good No. rs.
They are 80 plenty there that the people
catch and sell them for shilling a barrel,

In the old vigilance committee days in

he had for several days hunted desperate

arriving at one of the mining towns laid
down to rest A political meeting was in
progress, and at the close, learning that the
brilliant young lawyer was in town, the
crowd adjourned to his hotel in body.
Mr.. Sanders wss awakened about II O'Clock
by slap on his shoulder. In an instant a
cooked revolver was at the ear of the man
who touched him. Learning that the crowd
outside wished to hear from him, he walked
out on the balcony and delivered an hours
speech, which a cultured man, who was
present, said was the most eloquent he had
sver heard. It was on the political situa-
tion, ,sand disclosed an astonishing knowledge
of past history and public affairs of the day.
It was interspersed with many appropriate
quotations from Shakespeare and other
authors, and all this upon awakening from
a sound sleep and without the slightest pre-.
paration.

a NEW IDEA FOR GERMAN WOMEN


4 NEW IDEA FOR GERMAN WOmRN
Germany is especially distinguished fortwo
things, namely, thorough educational work
and quite as thorough military training. But
Germany has only recently walked up to the
demand for the higher education Of women,
which demand has long been recognized and
extensively met in this country and in Eng
land. 1t is only little while ago that the
German government sent an envoy to Eng
land to study the methods and workings of
the English colleges for women, thus eoun-
terparting more than one English commission
that in times past has gone to Germany for
new ideas in educational work; and it was
only lately, too, that there was established in
connection with the Victoria Lyoeum at Ber-
lin department which aims to give systs-
matic and thorough instruction to women in
the higher branches of science, extending
over three years, combining lectures with
seminary work and terminating in State
pass. Besides, there was established in Octo-
Der last, under the auspices Of the Wissen-
schaftlicher Centralversin at Berlin, some
courses for women to provide advanced in-
struction, open to graduates of the public
high schools, in mathematics. physics, chem
istry, political economy, German, Latin,
French and English.
This change had its start In a notable petit
ton drawn up by . number Of Berlin women
and presented to the Prussian government a
trife more than two years ago. It is not
probable that it will stop till tho educational
opportunities of German women are as good
~ those In any land. It has been thought
that German woman knew enough if she
knew how to keep house" well and be q
faithful wife. It remains to be seen whether
the now order of things will hurt her.

Some paper, speaking of the tomato crop,
ssys that ", ,000,00 cans "were put up this
year past" and refers to the old times when
the tomato was called the Glove apple, !" and
held about as fair a match for ''ground cher
ries" az food for man or beast. Mr.. B. r.
Sulgrove, the oldest newspaper man in the
city, says he remembers seeing, when boy,
in 1886 or thereabouts, several stocks or
bushes of ''love apples"growing on the north
side of Market street, near Delaware, in the
garden of John wilkins or "Archie" Lingen-
felter. They were not called stomatoes" and
nobody thought of eating them more than
Crimson burs." They were not commonly
grown, even for garden ornament, and it WAS
half score Of years later before they came
into even occasional table use. But he re-
members that some of the doctors of that
day commended them as healthful thing
to eat, and the new name "tomato" became
familiar. Fifty years OF more ago this was
the fame and food value of the tomato, now
more often and generally used, and in more
forms than any other garden product what

On one occasion the General was lying In his
tent at night. The Federals were near
enough to shoot into the camp. 1t is said he
had Just finished letter home and had
thrown himself down for few hours rest
before the hot work that would begin in the
early morning, when ping! Mimic bullet
from sharpshooter's rifle sped through the
tent and struck the General in his left aide.
The blow stunned him, and he lay as dead
for few moments. When he recovered
consciousness he was surprised to find him
self still alive. He felt stinging pain in
his breast, and, tearing open his shirt,
found that the ball had struck package of
pins his wife had given him, thinking they
would be needful in those days when there
was no one to sew the patch, and had driven
every one of them into his flesh. They had
saved his life, but he was q walking cushion

Vinegar Mt the Communion Table.
[Erom the LOuiSYilla Post


It happened on Communion Sunday at q
prominent church in this city, and it was
not many Sundays ago, either. An exsmi-
nation just before tho services revealed the
fact that no wine had been provided. The
minister was in quite a predicament until .
lady offered to furnish the wine. Calling
her servant-the intelligent James-she sent
him after 1t, saying that the Jug containing
the grape juice was in the cellar. James
fulfilled his mission. Az the cup was being
passed around it was noticed that, despite
the holy influence which pervaded the audi
ence, many wry faces were made. As the
communicates passed out several of the men
wondered what was the vintage of the wine.
When the lady returned to her home, what
was her horror to learn that James had made
a mistake, and instead of taking the wine
Jug had got hold of the vinegar. And some
of the men are still wondering where that
wine came from.

The Maine Statesman Ready to Make An

WASHINGTON, November 21.-A very
common topic of conversation just now in
this city of discussion is the health OF James
Gillespie Blaine. The result of the recent
elections has enhanced materially the Presi-
dental stock OF the man of reciprocity, who
was unable to find in all the ampli-
tude of the Mckinley bill an added
market for barrel of flour or a
bushel of American agricultural
product. Everybody-including the hack
men and the hotel elevator boys-recognizes
the fact that if the Republican party were
called upon to name Presidential candidate
this week that man would be James G..
Blaine. Naturally, therefore, the physical
condition of Mr.. Blaine is of interest to no
end of people. Having twice denied him.
self to his party as Presidential candidate,
as it is understood, chiefly upon account of
his health, people are naturally inquiring,
"Will Mr.. Blaine be physically able to
make the race in 1892
A gentleman who saw and talked with
Mr.. Blaine for several hours recently says
upon this point: "Mr. Blaine is Just as
we'll as any man of 60 years could hope to
be. He has not accumulated flesh, and in
this respect ne is all the better. His eve is
clear, his voice strong, and he is as agile in
his movements as a youth of 20. How
much fatigue he could bear were he sud-
denly called upon is only matter of con-
lecture.

An hour or two later Vane entered his
own room.
1t was large apartment, situated at the
back of the walled inclosure, which, on ac-
count of its size, had come to be used by the
officers as a common room. Its windows
opened on wide veranda, which extended
the whole length of the building, having
the windows also opening upon it. The
largest of these rooms had been set apart for
the use Of the ladies of the garrison, and, as
the Veranda was cool, shady and retired,
they were often accustomed to sit there, in
preference to breathing the close heat of the
room within.
AT the moment when Vane entered two
figures were sitting on the Veranda, not far
from his own window-two girls. One Of
these was tall, slight girl, pale and light
haired-not handsome, nor even remarkable,
except for her eyes, which were large, gray.
serious, and, when at rest, deep rather than
bright. Her companion, on the other hand,
was girl of singular beauty; a girl with
dark hair, dark eyes, rather full red lips,
and skin OF soft and fowerlike bloom. The
name of the pale girl was Mary Sulland;
that OF the beautiful one was Lenora Dun
das. The latter was the Colonel's daughter;
Mary Sulland was his ward. Before the
mutiny they had lived together with an old
English servant, Mrs. Jessop, in the Colonel's
bungalow, outside the fortified inclosure.

leave to reveal themselves as we proceed;

A Lawyer Speaks Warmly of the Chinese,
Both as Litigants and as Men.
New York telegram
Lawyer William c. Beecher son of the
famous divine, Henry Ward Beecher, has
an extensive practice among Chinese liti-
gants, and his opinion of Mongolian charac-
ter is considerably at variance with that of
the general public. In talk on the subject
the other day he said very earnestly: "The
Chinese are much more honest in their deal
ings than is generally supposed. I have
had business relations with many of them,
and have invariably found them straight
forward and satisfactory. They are nat
urally suspicious of all who are not of their
nationality, which is not to be much won-
dered at considering the treatment they
have received. But, once you gain China
mans confidence, he will trust you entirely.
In my professional intercourse with them
I have never had one express desire to
win his suit through sharp practice or de-
ceit. On every occasion the litlgant was
honest in the belief that he was justified in
bringing suit, or in defending himself, as
the case might be. Neither is there any
danger, as often happens with Caucasian
Clients, of lawyer losing his case through
the failure of his client to impart all the
information he has, either for or against
himself
Gas to payment" said Lawyer Beecher,
with smile, well, the legal profession
would be much more lucrative than it is if
the litigants of other nationalities would
follow the example of our Chinese residents.
The latter have pleasant custom of finding
out how much the cost of the legal contest

money in advance-that is, when they know
you"
