TALkATIVE POLLY.
a Parrot Gives Away Two Stfnsy and
NishoEcst Old Maids.

Dishonest Old Maids.
"Oh, it was funny" smiled the jolly
passenger as he left a Tenth-Street car at
Chestnut street and launched derisive
Gmilo at tho beWildercd conductor. Two
women boarded the car at Wallace street,
says tho Philadelphia Inquirer. They
weighed an oven two hundred each, and
besides carried two big valises and
parrot.
They were evidently uneasy at some
thing and gazed at tho bird as if afraid
that his tongue would break loose. 1t
did after awhile, but it served the
women right. When the conductor
made his way through the standing
crowd and presented his hand for faro
the largest of tho sisters handed him a
silver dollar. Tho knight of the punch
extracted five cents from tho Bland and
returned ninety-lve cents in change to
the pass enger.
Then he applied to tho other one for
fare, and his Galway whiske-s turned a
brighter hue when she coolly said: my
sister paid for me-" In vain he argued
and protested against two people occu-
plying three seats for one fare. AS he
turned despairingly away his parrot
ship, who had been fdgeting in his cage,
electrified tho car BY shouting: MARY,
you're deadbeat!' 1t was too much.
The women retreated, parrot and all,
and as tho smiles of tho conductor and
passengers followed them an acquaint-
anco saio: 'One OF the sisters taught
tho bird that sentence because they're
always swapping at each other"

BEST TIME TO MARRY.

It is the common idea that the beat
time to marry is when one wants to ana
can conveniently and comfortably, but
there are some people who have more or
less prudence about marrying, and some
even have 80 much that they never
marry. AS to the proper age for girls to
marry a New York newspaper man has
recently been interviewing some ladies
of note in Washington and elsewhere on
the subject. Mrs Harrison says
Instead Of making % the proper age to
marry, 1 should make it %. As n rule
q woman is married two-thirds of heI
life, and she can easily lend two OF
three out OF those years to what ough,
to be happy period with every
girl, the years between school days
and marriage" This is in accord will
most Of the views given. and all girls OF
the happy period W il! probably govern
themselves accordingly. A writer IL
the London Standard has attracted mucl
attention by his recent addresses to thu
girls Of England on the marriage ques
ton. He has ideas not unlike those tina
come from the Washii. S,on ladies. HI
addresses himself to hat he calls tn,
average civilized womaa, and he al
vises her to marry AT any age between
twenty-four and thirty-sy. 1t is no
said that no woman shall marry earle
or later than either of these ages, bu
youth and health and vigor are ordi
narily at their highest perfection be
tween these two periods.

AN INGENIOUS SWINDLE

How q COnHding Man Was TlcecGd in .
Diamond Transaction.
A citizen Of New York, who prefers
that his name be kept from tho public,
call ed at the World Office yesterday to
i of an ingenious swindle practiced
/. On him.
Wishing to buy some diamonds re
ceatly," said this gentleman, 81 was at
tracrcd by an advertisement in morn
ing paper which read: Gentleman

nonds-ring, earrings and pin. TICK

81 wrote to the advertiser and a nice
| addressed man, calling himself J. May
nard, answered il person. He told such
q narrowing tulo OF losing money
through the perfidy of friends; of mort
Cages OF his furniture which would be
forccloscd Immediately, unless he could
sell his pawn-tickcts; of his invalid
vito and how sho would be turned out
in the cold world, that decided to take
tho trouble to investigate. lie gave as
reference tho proprietor of tailor store
at No. A Third avenue, and the latter
had nothing but good to say of the man.
| The pawnbrol1er said he knew nothing
of ]. Maynard, but supposed him to be
as he represented himself.
"a friend of mine, who was to ap-
praise the diamonds, being unable to be
present, the pawnbroker offered to let
his clerk accompany us to a ncighbor-
ing expert jeweler, to which I foolishly
assented. The diamonds were very
critically examined with a magnifyirg
glass for several minutes and finally
pronounced first-class color, good cut,
practically perfect in every way and a
big bargain at $3.50. l bought the $3.50
worth of precious gems and will be very
happy to sell them to any one for $500.
Whether tho jewcler dishonesty ap-
praised the diamonds for share of tho
profits, or whether some first-class dia-
monds were shown him which were by
q trick changed for very inferior ones

caught by this same swindlc and many

Ing use Of the express companies recently to q
large extent 1t is also known that the lottery
company has availed itself of the law

another clause OF the same law authorizes the
