The Latest Trash Basket.

The new trash basket is bag. The
willow baskets which well intentioned
young women have dressed up in baby
blue ribbons and worsted fruits and
flowers, or have gilded and decorated for
church fairs, are stripped Of their orna-
mentations and relegated to offices. The
vide porche takes their place in the sit
ting room and boudoir. This is a long,
narrow bag about 0 by IS inches in size.
1t is made of brocade, in any rare old
tint, and lined with plain silk in har-
monizing color, which is turned down

pended by metal cord and tassel or rib
bon. If the bag is made from piece of

to wear gown of brocade.-New York

He Concluded TO live.

It is strange fact that the average
newspaper man is superstitious to de-
gree. Why this should be SO no one
knows. One of the craft, who looks to
be healthy enough, was around town on
his work the other day and he ran across
Frank Hill, Chicago's coffin king, who
was at one time at the head of the i'll
fated Thirteen club. In the course of a
chat with few mutual friends the
scribe ventured the opinion that he
would not live long. Every one laughed
at such hallucination on his part and
tried to cheer him up. Finally Mr.. Hill
came to the rescue and took hand in
the discussion. He regarded the matter
from business point of view. Don't
die so soon, my boy" he urged. "You
just wait until cur new spring style of
casket comes out and then I'll give you
a daisy at first cost" Hereupon the
scribe gave up the idea of dying and
concluded to live. He did not want a
business matter made of it.-Ezchange.

Naubant's Retirement.

Maubant, who for forty-fve years has
played the grand tragic role at the The
atre Francois, has retired, and his fare
well benefit was a brilliant testimonial
to his sterling qualities as an actor and
gentleman. Although 60 years old,
Maubant is still capable of rendering
good service at the theatre, but tragedy
is not in high favor at the Francois,
where the modern pieces "draw more
money" and besides the younger men
were impatient to play the veterans
parts. Still Maubant, who has been
called the Last of the tragedians, will be
sincerely regretted by the Parisians, and
not easily replaced in his special line of
business. London World.

No Red Cloth.

Abiding to the Prince of Wales de-
sire to be treated now and then like an
ordinary person, the London correspon-
dent of The Liverpool Mercury writes:
"No red cloth, is his favorite expression.
When he was going to look at some pict-
ures one day under strict rules of pri-
vacy he grew very angry when he dis
covered that there was crowd around
the door What does this mean" he
exclaimed. Il told you there was to be
no red CLOTH" There isn't any," re-
piled the Snowman of the moment, "but
we had to tell the people that they could
not come in to see the pictures because
the Prince of Wales was coming; and
then they stayed to see your royal high
ness pass in" The prince good natured-
ly accepted the excuse, but he was care
full to explain that when he said "no
red cloth" he meant mo crowd"

CARRYING Ths MAILS


~ ~ tne h@AlroNas Well exad Costs enc
Government Sc. 100000 Year.
The railroads carry the vast bulk Of
the maxi Nowadays. People want their
letters quickly So the railroads get the
carrying wherever they reach. OF course
considerable mail goes by steamboat and
by stage, star route and by penny post.
The transportation Of Uncle Sans mails
is something enormous. Superintendent
Burt, of the railway mail service. said:
YES, | imagine that would be inter
esting, for the transportation of mails
covers tremendous figure.
I'm the first place the government has
a monopoly OF all mail transportation.
There is no such thing as private car
rier or a private delivery. Otherwise a
man might set himself up in business
and make money by carrying and deliv-
er1ng for less than Uncle Sam could.
For instance. suppose Proctor & Gamble
wanted to send out 300, 900 circulars. II
would cost them $1,000 for postage.
Somebody might offer to deliver those
circulars for, say, $4,000. Well, he would
De arrested very quickly. Business men
can nave their boxes at the postoffice and
send their messengers for mail. but no
business man or men can have a private
route and pay man for serving It.
Everything must go through the post
Office. Envelopes with RI. R. B. on
them ('railroad businessD go through
without postage. You can employ a
messenger boy to carry letter for you,
or you can hand letter to friend to
deliver as personal accommodation.
ITO get at the matter of transportation
1t were better to know at first what are
post roads Well, ali waters of the United
States, all railroads or part of railroads,
all canals, all plank roads and the road
on which the mail is carried to any court
house or county seat. The mails must
be carried on any train that the post
master general may select.
Nov as to the pay. might say that
land grant roads, that is, roads that get
help from the government, only receive
50 per cent. for transporting. The rail
roads furnish all cars or parts of cars
for the carrying of mails, and they shall
be maintained, heated and lighted by
the railroad companies. The government
pays $25 per mile per annum for mail
cars forty feet in length, $40 for a fifty
foot car and $50 for sixty foot car. The
government does not own anything about
the equipment except, of course, its sacks
and pouches for mail
"a good postal car will cost from 81, 900
to $1,000. Now you've got the figures
for the cars. The government pays $50
per annum per mile for every 200 pounds;
500 pounds, $75; 1000 pounds, 800; 1900
pounds, 1926; 1900 pounds, $50; $500
pounds, $175; 5000 pounds, $500, and $25
for every additional 1900 pounds The
government paid about 100000, 900 in
1889 for transporting the mails; for rental
of postal cars, 6, 1860, 900, and for pay of
clerks, $5,600,000. This is for railroad
service alone.
"The steamboat service costs $500, 600.
and the stage coach and horseback serv-
ice, $3.50, 600; the mail equipment, pouch
es. locks, ETC., 100000. So you see the
government pays nearly 40,000, 600 for
mail service. "-Cincinnat Times-Star.

A strange Jekyll and HYDE stor

A strange Jekyll and Hyde story
comes all the way from Providence,
R. l., through the American
Neurological Association, which
met at Philadelphia, about a man
who completely forgot his identity
for two years. Ansell Bourne lived
in Providence with his wife and
family, and some years ago disap-
peared. 1t was said that he had
taken several hundred dollars with
him and had fed the city. Two
years afterward man named Will
liam Brown, who kept molasses
candy store in Norristown, near
Philadelphia, awoke in The middle
Of the night and began screaming
with terror. Although he was in
his own store, he imagined that he
had broken into some one else's,
and that he would he charged with
burglary. His neighbors assured
him that he was William Brown, and
that he owned the store. He said
he was Ansell Bourne, and that he
lived in Providence. His indentity
was finally established, he sold his
candy store and returned to his old
home and old name in Providence.
This is what may be called case of
Brown study.

day lone of the frst things given me
to do was by dentist. He gave me
large number of bills to collect.
with instructions to bring suit
against the parties if not paid at
once. Selecting bill from the lot,
he called my attention to it, saving
that the man had died recently and
if presented at once the ladies would
probably pay it. Several weeks
later | found myself near the late
residence OF this man. went to
the house and handed the bill to his
daughter. 1t was fora set of false
teeth, which the old gentleman had
had made. The daughter glanced
over the bill, and then in a moment
said: Dear papa was thoughtful to
the last Of debts he owed and desir-
ed them all to be paid. Among the
last things he thought of was this
debt. Just before he died he took
the teeth from his mouth and said
for us to give them back to you, as
he did not feel able to pay for them.
She then went after the teeth, but
before her return | managed to es-
cape from the house, and I have
never been back there since"

Is There a Canine Language!

A curious sight was witnessed one
afterno Don on the wharf at Cincinnati.
A gentleman, accompanied By two fine
specimens of the water spaniel, wen'
down to the landing of the Newport
ferry, at the foot of Lawrence street
Somehow he became separated from the
CANNES, or rather they failed to follow
him aboard. The boat had got out in
the stream, when the dogs caught sigh
of their master and discovered he we,
fast leaving them. Standing on the
edge Of the float, both set up vigor-
Gus yelping, which attracted the attcn-
ton of the bystanders.
Suddenly the older and larger doc
plunged into the river and began tc
swim rapidly toward the Kentucky
shore. He had gene about 100 yard.
when he seemed TO become aware that
his brute companion had not followed.
Turning around, he swan back toward
the spot where the younger dog stood.
As he drew alongside the float he made
no effort to get aboard. The two began
to bark at each other-.o hold an ami
mated conversation in the dog tongue,
as it were. The older dog, as he fiat
ed by the side of the landing. barkcd
encouragement to the more timid ami.
NAL, and apparently was urging the lat
ter to jump into the water. The bark
ing duet lasted some minutes, and then
the young dog, seemingly convinced by
his companions assurance, grew bold,
and suddenly bounded into the river.
The first dog gave a delighted yclp,
and, both turning their noses toward
Kentucky, began to swim straight
across, side by side. Both contin ued
TO bark until they reached the shore,
and could be hearl on both sides of the
river. The people on the ferry aad the
kentucky shore saw the strange race,
and with people on thi, side and on
the bridge, watched 1t to the end. The
dogs landed opposite to the barracks,
where they were awaited by their own
er, who, with several other gentlemen,
had hurrielly walked down tho bank.
There was no limit to the delight OF
the two animals as they rushed up to
their muster. The river at that point
is nearly half mile wide. The action
Of the dogs seemel to indicate that
they had language Of their own, ami
the paternai manifestations of the elder
brute were most interesting to sec.
