Some Unique DRESSING Stuls.

A MAJ who has just returned from
Europe brought with him two sets of
dressing studs that show forth a new
idea. One set. for himself, was Of tur-
quoises, each stud consisting Of q single
stone set in just the narrov;est rim of
gold. There arc two pairs OF sleeve but
tons-one large and one small-small
studs for the bosom. two collar buttons,
and, lastly, a ring set with one magnii-
cent stone.
The other set consisted of the same
number Of buttons and Of s ring, but in
stead OF the turquois nooastones We're
used, there being III both ITS as little
gold visible as possible-just enough
to carry the stones successfully.-New

This day, IL years ago, the writer
first looked upon Louisiana soil. He
was on board the steamer John Han
cock coming down the great Mississippi
pi river, when the morning light
showed to him the little town of Lake
Providence. There were no railroads
then, and he vas glad to reach Don
aldsonville from Louisville in ten DAYS,
after being stuck on bars and sand
banks half Il dozen times on the route.
That WAS a pleasant trip and one that
always will be remembered.
Every turn Of the river presented
views that were new, and scenes that
were strange. There was Il iovial ana
gay lot of passengers on board, so that
the time passed equally AZ pleasant in
Il social way, rs it was grand and in
tcresjing to the view.

TRYING TO TAX CATS.
The Minister of Finance of saxony Moved to
Write on the Subject.

The Minister of Finance of sa1ony Moved to
Write on the Subject.
New York SUM-
A tax on cats has been proposed repeated
ly by Saxon fnanciers of the last three or
four decades. Recently the petitions for
the introduction of the tax have become so
numerous that the Minister of Finance has
been moved to publish rather exhaustive
paper concerning the impracticability of
the scheme in question. In this paper he
says:
Aside from the unpopularity of the tax
in the household, sufficient reasons against
it may be found in the impossibilIty of
careful assessment and correct collection,
the difficulty of determining the owners,
and the prevalent reluctance of any one to
take charge OF stray cats. Again, a cat
cannot be marked in such a way as to show
that the tax on it has been paid. The
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals suggests a leather collar, with a
record of the payment on it. This, how
ever, would hinder the cat in catching rats
and mice. and would be likely to hang fast
on nails and pegs, thus causing the cat
great misery and eventful death, often from
starvation. All references to the dog tax
must fail of all argumentative force, as the
cat is of different nature and cannot be
confined within the same limits as the dog. I"

SITTING BULBS PRIDE.

1t Would Not Permit Him to Uncover His
Head Before the Camera.
During visit OF Sitting Bull and some of
his braves to Washington several years ago
it was decided to take photograph of them
in the Capitol. The photographer got his
camera ready, and the group was arranged.
Several of the Indians had on their hats,
and through one of the Interpreters the
photographer suggested that the picture
would look better with heads uncovered.
The Indians were loath to remove their
hats, but finally, alter much persuasion,
they consented to appear in the picture
bareheaded. Only Sitting Bull refused.
He had on tall silk hat of an ancient date
probably "of the vintage of '79'-and he
was evidently impressed with his own ap-
pearance.
The photographer appealed to him,
through the interpreter, to remove the hat;
but Sitting Bull made no reply. He merely
folded his arms, threw himself "back on his
dignity" and struck heroic attitude. He
presented most ludIcrous appearance. but
he swelled with evident pride and dignity,
and said not a word. The photographer saw
it was useless, and so the picture was taken.
In the group of 40 or 90 Indians there ap-
peared only one with covered head. That
one was the old chief Sitting Bull.

TUMBLED TO THE GAME.

A New Yorker Discovers What the Drop Of
the Handkerchief Means Nowadays.
New York Times.l
A gentleman who makes 1t point always
to carry a few nickels in his pocket for any
worthy mendicant whom he meets during
his days wanderings started to cross City
Hall Park from the Park Row side yester-
day afternoon when he was approached by
o seedy individual whose face was almost
blue from the cold.
Excuse me, sir" said the seedy one, st
have been down here for two days from
Boston and haven't eaten-Oh, thank you,
sir, you're gentleman" his smudgy fist
closing over the nickel.
The gentleman turned after taking dozen
steps and saw the seedy one drop his hand
kerchief. Instantly another beggar sidled
up and also got nickel. Like the first, he
was profuse in his thanks and emphasized
them by dropping his handkerchief. Then
came a third. with the plausible tale of a
long and weary walk from Philadelphia
"See here" said the gentleman, 1--WE

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

The Experience of a Hungry Beggar Con-
firms the Truth of the Law.
New York Times.l
A gentleman was hurrying across City
ball Park last night when rough-looking
man stepped up to him and said: "Kind
sir, will you" and his voice sank away in
plaintive whine that ended in incoher-
ence. The gentleman passed on. "Sir, will
you" urged the other, persistently folio W.
ing alongside. The gentleman passed
sternly and silently on. "Gimms suthin'
for lodgin', SIR" The gentleman still
paid no heed. In sort OF desperation the
rough-looking man suddenly shook himself
together and in loud, strong voice, with
all the obsequious whine gone from it,
roared out:
''Darn it, boss, I'm darned hungry.
Gimme nickel, will yer?"
The other suddenly stopped short, drew
some coin from side pocket, gave it to the
man, and passed on.
"WellP' muttered the tramp, changed ef
honesty amt the best policy after ALL"
And with a smile that knew not care he
picked his way across the park and disap-
peared in the darkness.

From the Kimban Is. d. Graphic.
While the columns of the Graphic are
open to any and all unobjectionabe adver-
tisements, yet it is quite impossible for us
to speak knowingly OF the merits of the va

Particularly is this true of patent medicines.
But there are exceptions occasionally, and a
noteworthy exception is the celebrated
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This now
universally known medicine has been ad-
yertised in the Graphic for four or five
years, but not until recently had we any per-
sonal knowledge of its wonderful efficacy,
which has come about through the prevail

Photographs in Hospitals.

The telephone has for some time been used
in various hospitals as means of communi-
cation between patients who were suffering
from infectious diseases and their visiting
friends 1t is now proposed that the phono-
graph be brought into the hospital for the
entertainment of the patients, and it is argued
that photograph in ward, with large
and constantly renewed supply of cylinders,
would be a source OF amusement and pleas
ure to the patients, which would admirably
supplement the hospital treatment.
