No Gum, No Art.

Detroit has an art school, the principal
beneficiaries being class of young wo-
men. The conductor of the school is
Professor John Ward Dunsmore, from
England. Recently Professor Dunsmore
issued an order that all pupils must be
punctual in attendance, or submit writ
ten excuse for their absence. This wor-
ried the young ladies, but they bore the
wrong in dignified silence. More re-
Gently Dunsmore issued another law. No
pupil should be allowed to chew gum
during the sessions.
This assault upon the free born Amer
leans dearest fad was too much, and an
indignation meeting was held. The boss
gum chewer of the class was made presi-
dent, and she declared that the object of
the meeting was to protest against British
tyranny. By unanimous vote the
young ladies decided that Professor
Dunsmore must go or they would desert
the school in body. The directors of the
Museum Of Arts have not less than 5000,
600 invested in the enterprise, and have a
long time contract with Professor Duns-
more. The action of the young women
places them in an unpleasant predica-
ment. If the professor is retained the
class will desert. If he be removed he
will appeal to the courts to enforce pay
ment of his salary during the time for
which he was employed.-St. Louis

Ice Ronting in Canada.

Perhaps there has not been for long
time winter so favorable to ice boat
ing as the last, and there was quite a
boom in ice yachting, especially on Lake
st. Louis. Six members of the Valois
Boat club went out for fast trial trip,
and although the wind was not blowing
a gale, it was a good stiff breeze from
the northwest. The club owns two boats,
one Hudson river model, the other a
new purchase last year in Toronto. The
latter was used, being somewhat faster
The lake was like glass, and it took but
two tacks to reach Beauharnois, thir-
teen miles distance. Here they were
met by three local boats, and a trial of
speed ensued which ended in the COM
plete discontinue of the locals.
The boat was pointed homewards at
4:30 to minute, and in fifteen minutes
later the crew were standing on the ice
at the Point Claire boat house, after hav-
ing a slow start out of Beauharnois bay
and two stops on the road down. 1t was
one of the most pleasant and fastest sails
ever had by the boys, and it is safe to
sayithe mile minute would have been
easily done had there been no stops

Everybody in Maine is crazy over ice.
The weather for conversational purposes
is nowhere. Every spare man, every
horse and almost every OK are at work
on the ice, filing icehouses, building
stacks on the river banks, cutting, haul
ing, selling, shipping the silvery ice, sill
very in more senses than one. In Bangor
and Augusta coal dealers, with empty
sheds, are filling them with ice, the
streets are full Of teams carting the pre-
cious loads to storehouses yet untitled;
and, actually, they are filling the base
ments of some stores with ice.
A company, with houses and machin-
cry all on hand and in good shape, can
house the ice for Is or 20 cents ton.
Yet manager of one of the large COM
panies refused to sell for $4 ton, al
though he could have sold 5000 tons
under contract. If he had sold 5000
tons, at $4, he would have made clear
profit of $4,000 or so. There is another
manager who, last September, took a
contract to deliver 90, 900 tons this spring
and summer for from so to rs cents a
ton; and although this pays him a good
profit in the distant horizon towards the
setting sun, he sees golden eagle flying
away from him, representing $65, 900,
just the difference from the price he could
have obtained if he had waited till the
fifth day of March.-Cor. Boston Jour-

Booth Reprimand. Two aIrls.


The other morning Edwin Booth was
very much startled when a waiter at the
Mount Vernon hotel brought two cards
to his room bearing the names Of two
ladies unknown to him. The waiter
said the ladies were pretty, and were
waiting in the parlor. In few minutes
Booth made his appearance in the par
lor, and much to his surprise he found
two young and very pretty society girls,
one of whom was a debutante. They
informed him they had attended every
performance since his arrival in Balti-
more, and had become so fascinated
with him that they had decided to call.
They hoped he would pardon them for
doing so. For few minutes Booth said
nothing. First he looked at their cards,
which he still held in his hand, and then
at the girls, who blushed and became
very much confused. At last the silence
was broken.
"Young ladies'" said Booth, 81 hap
pen to know the names on these cards
are assumed, and if I only knew your
real names l should most certainly in
form your parents what you have done.
Now, take my advice, 60 home, and
don't ever run to see an actor again, for
the next interview might not be SO pleas

The young ladies departed, and have
been very much alarmed ever since lest
their parents should find them out

A YolubIe Franchman.

A Winnipeg, Man., special dated March
10 says: The legislature had a session
lasting from 8 p. m. Tuesday until a.
M. yesterday. Martin, a Frenchman,
spoke for nine and half hours on the
educational bill. He wished to annoy
the government by talking two or three
days, but the house made him talk until
he was SO exhausted that he had to give
up the floor. The speaker would not al
low him to support his body on the desk,
and he had to stand up the whole time.
Several members of the house brought
bedding into the Legislative hall and went
to sleep. When lunch was brought in
Martin ate his sandwich and drank his
wine while talking, the speaker having
threatened to cancel his right to the floor
if he remained silent longer than three
minutes. The amendment to the bill was
voted down, 10 to Z.

A Big Bullet Story.

One of our prominent ranchers has
been laid up for several weeks with a
very sore foot, caused by what appeared
to be huge carbuncle on the heel. Mon
day afternoon the swelling broke and an
old time bullet emerged from the tester.
He was soldier in the rebellion and
was shot in the deshy part of the leg, be-
tween the hip and knee, at the battle of
Antietam.
The bullet was never extracted, and he
has suffered more or less pain at various
times ever since, the sensation appar-
entity working down the limb as the mis-
sile slowly worked its way toward the
surface. Two years ago his knee was 50
lame that he was unable to walk for
some months, and the lameness was
caused by the bullet in its passage BY
the joint. He is now rapidly regaining
good health, and has had the relic of the
hot times made into watch charm

Mr.. wanamaker,s Life Insurance.

John Wanamaker carries 81, 100000
life insurance. No man in the world
Cprobably no two men) supports such
number of policies as he. 1t is quite GER
tain that he must have policies in nearly
every company in the world. Only three
companies will risk as much as 100000
in human life, and those are in New
York.
This amount of life insurance must
cost Mr.. Wanamaker between 100000
and $4,000 per year, but it is a good in
vestment if man engages in such large
transactions as he, because if it enters
into his business standing it gives those

when he dies there will be money to
carry on the business.-Chatter.

It is Characteristic of the present day
that German paper should contain an
advertisement offering to supply rich
American women to needy Germans of
position. The advertisement may be and
probably is a mere swindle; but that such
q thing should be advertised is in itself
significant The advertiser appeals to
Germans having titles or official positions
and this includes practically the re-
spectacle male population of Germany
to write to him in order to be put into
communication with American heiresses
with fortunes up to four millions. All is
to be private, photographs are to be inter-
changed, and the whole thing is strictly
honorable"
The untitled heiress has been so much
on the hunt for mobiles that the trans
actions have, as it were, passed into the
market, and the fortunes of rich young
ladies are quoted upon the matrimonial
exchange. There is nothing new in the
situation. Since the days when the world
thought only of marrying and giving in
marriage until the flood came there has
always been marriage market; but it
has been left to our own days to make
the thing into matter of advertisement
and quotations. It the low water mark
of the vulgarization of the institution of
matrimony; and, rightly or wrongly, the
proceeding has lately identified itself par
ticularly with American women of for
tune. Nobody can mistake the tendency
of the last ten years in the matrimonial
market. 1t has been all openly avowed
barter of money for titles; and it has per-
haps done more than anything else to
vulgarize the marriage ceremony.-Lon-

A Peculiar Ground Plan.

A dwelling house was recently built near
Boston in which no right angle occurs in the
walls Of any Of the first floor rooms. There
are seven Of them in all-drawing room,
parler, library, sitting room, dining room,
reception room and smoking room-and
each one of them opens into the circular
hall which occupies the center of the house.
From this hall the stairway rises, one of its
angles forming projection of nearly four
feet on the outer wall. The kitchen, store
rooms, ETC., are all in the third story, so
that by no possibility the odors of cooking
shall be smelled down stairs, and are
reached by covered stairway rising out.

Do you know why it is that the Hon.
William E. Gladstone invariably uses the
humble postal card for the purposes of
correspondence? 1t is because he is the
