THE TARIFF BILL.

The Republican conferees on the tariff
bill were in session again thi, morning for
two hours. After they had separated it
was said there was no further progress to
report. The KEY to the whole situation is
the sugar schedule. Whenever all agree
ment is reached on that, less than five
minutes would be reqaireu to settle all other

Ice Water in Radiators.

An enterprising hotel keeper in Kan
sas became so much fatigued with hav-
ing guests come up to the counter and
fire the Is-it-hot-enough-for-you shot at
him that he resolved upon a mild and
agreeable revenge. His house is fitted
with steam radiators, which in the win
ter carry steam and bring mosquitoes
from their haunts in February, remind
ing the guest of a summer hotel on the
Jersey coast.
But in the summer 1T is hot and the
pipes are idle, and even then the people
come streaming in and want to learn if
the atmosphere is sufficiently sudorifc
to be agreeable.
This set the hotel man a-thinking, and
all of a sudden an inspired thought came
to him. He would pump ice water
through the radiators.
That is what he is doing now. Ice
water under a tremendous pressure is
forced through the pipes. The rooms in
that hotel now make the average hotel
refrigerator blush. They put it to shame.
When guest now comes up to the
register and begins, "Well, Mr.. Jones, is
this ho-?" etc, Mr.. Jones breaks in
with, eyes, it's pretty warm. Front
show the man to No. &C."
After that guest has been in his room
five minutes he rings for fire, and the
question about the temperature is for
ever knocked out of him. It does seem
as if the smartest men in the world were
getting into the hotel business.-Hotel

Girls PLAYING Ball.

What was it that the reporter looked
in upon, or rather down upon, from the
walk leading to the Old Orchard House
Saturday afternoon? A game Of ball.
And great heavensl what would Ward

puppets say if they could have seen it?
Young ladies figured on either side.
Young ladies lining 'em out, sliding Sec
ond, doublingup on third, stealing home
and having the most elegant time in the
world generally. And they played real
ball, too. 1t was no "play easy" game.
There were nine on a side, and they
kicked at the umpire and threatened
mob violence just like real, live profess

She Wasn't Afraid.

Mrs. o. E. Draper, the dressmaler,
is receiving many compliments on her
bravery in throwing an exploded kero-
sene oil stove from the window on Sat
urday. Mrs. Draper was in her sitting
room ut work, while the kerosene oil
stove had been lighted and was burning
on table in the shed some distance
away.
Mr.. Handy's'family, who live over the
Draper fat, smelled smoke, and went
down stairs to see what the matter was
Opening the shed door they were met by
a dense smoke which nearly overcame
them. Mrs. Draper was called, and she
ut once, surmising the cause, went
through the smoke, grabbed the ex-
ploded oil stove and threw it out of the
window, thus averting what might have
been lively fire.
Members Of the family are modest
about relating the facts in the case. but
the bravery Of Mrs. Draper is the subject
of much comment. 1t is said that as
soon as the oil stove was thrown from
the window it exploded with great fury
IN the air, and actually went off like a
skyroclet. Flames caught shavingsin the
yard and made quite little blaze

Found = Hundred Pounds.

A waiter in the smoking room of a
well known London restaurant one night
noticed a packet of papers lying on the
floor after two customers had left the
room. On picking these up he was sur
prised to find himself in possession of
500 in $40 bank Of England notes. The
careless diner who throws his money
aboutin this fashion may consider himself
more fortunate than he deserves to be if
he learns, from. sthis intimation that his
money is in the hands of an honest man,
vho, on finding the money, counted it
in the presence of witnesses and put it
away till called for.-London News.

When the March blizzard Of 1888 was

was on the point of tearing his victims
with his formidable tusks, when this
heroic young lady sprang to the ground

wholly unarmed, and, therefore. power

she had with her a large greyhound.

Girl Cyclists.

rivals--a novelty which even now some

A nsIiShtfnI Woman.

The most delightful person at sum-
mer resort is the woman with Sunday
husband She is always to be found in
some Of the qHieter resorts near the large
cities; she Is always pretty, usually
young and the most devoted wife in all
the world--on Sundays. During the
week, while her husband is down in the
city, she is the leader in all the gayeties
that are going on. She plays tennis with
the college boys like the best of them;
she firts with the elderly men, who
quite understand her, and she turns the
heads of all the quite young men, who
don't understand her. All this during
weekdays. But on Saturday night every
thing is changed
When at dusk the big stages come
rumbling up to the little hostelry, with
their long seats filed with tired, dusty
looking men, she stands, the best dressed,
She most eager eyed, affectionate little
woman in all the assembled crowd of
guests, and when Tom comes stepping
mp to the piazza she gives one wild little
cry and settles down on his coat collar
as if she had done nothing all the week
but mourn for his absence. And Tom
pats her fluffy head and feels sure that
he has the dearest little wife in all the
world, and they walk off, she clinging
foRdly to his arm quite like apair of low
ers, while all the men who have been
her slaves all the week look foolish and
would like to punch Toms empty head.
But they don't know, poor souls-and
neither does Tom-thRt the whole thing
was gotten up for their benefit. For a
woman always likes to show a man the
sndesrments that may be in store for
some man, even though she has no wish
or purpose that they should be for him.

There are now under consideration
two projects, which if carried out will
have an immense effect on the trade OF
France. The first is the project OF
making Paris into port by canalizing
the Seine, so that sea going vessels can
