A new celebrity is making his appear
ance along the boulevards of Paris. He
is a well dressed, intelligent looking
youth. He saunters about the principal
cafes scanning the faces of the occu-
pants until he catches sight of one that
strikes his fancy. Doffing his hat polite
ly, he thus accosts the gentleman he has
singled out: "WM monsieur be good
enough to ask ME any questions he
pleases relating to the history of France
from the earliest time down to Napoleon
Zip / can tell monsieur the day, even
the hour, of the birth, marriage or death
OF any historical parsonage"
In nine cases out of ten this walking
encyclopedia has SO well chosen his man
that the gentleman thus addressed puts
him a number of questions, all of which
are answered correctly and instantly, to
the establishment of the persons around
and to the profit of the inventor of this

a School Girls Fight.

In order to keep pace with the pro.
gressive spirit of the times, the two
higher classes of the Women's Medi.
cal college recently INDUCED in n
regular college fight. The dispute
arose over the ownership of n beauti.
full green cushion.
a young lady entered the lecture
room with the cushion. She threw il
upon the bench, and, sitting upon it,
said to her companion: 'Oh, my, but
hat is comfortable" Soon after she
missed the seat, and, followed by her
comrades, walked up TO a senior, who
by this time was enjoying the soft seat,
and demanded her property. On re-
ceiving n negative answer to her re
quest the plucky junior grabbed hold
of the cushion and pulled it from un-
der the senior. In an instant there
was n regular tug of war. The mem
bers of each class came TO the assist
ance of their comrades. Each division
held on TO the cushion, pulling and
wrestling, and finally both came to
blows.
The widest excitement prevailed,
when the professor, accompanied by
some gentlemen, entered the lecture
room. The professor shouted for or
der, but without avail. He then took
a hand in the fight and captured the
cushion, which he bore off in triumph
to his desk.
When quiet had been completely re.
stored the owner of the cushion quiet
ly stepped down to the desk of the pro
fessor and returned to her place with
the prize which she, not figuratively,
but literally, sat upon.-Philadelphia

Burmese women are treated we'll in
family and they are the equals of men
in family affairs. They have their
say in business matters and the only
place in which inferiority is noticea-
Bile is in religion. The Burmese are
Buddhists, and a Buddhist woman has
no chance to go to heaven save by her
soul at death passing into the body OF
"a man. If she is wonderfully pious in
this life such a TRANSMIT grafton may
take place, and l note that the chief
worshipers at the pagoda here are wo-
men. Buddhist teachers put women
much lower in the scale of morality
than men, and they maintain that the
sins of one woman are equal to the
sins of 5000 of the worst men that
ever lived. There are about 2OO, OOo,-
1000 women in the world and none OF
these have any other hope of immortal,
,ity than this. Nevertheless, l am told
that the Burmese women are more
honest than the men, and that their
business promises are to be trusted.
They are not educated as a rule, n 1t
is only lately that there have been
schools in Burmah fsr women.-Bow

PRETTY LOW DOWN.

Notwithstanding the assistance of Dem
ocratic leaders who have visited Washing
ton and returned, Congressman Springer
yesterday led a solid Democratic phalanx
against the admission OF Wyoming.
The tact is that if the truth was xnown
the Democratic party is directly opposed
TO statehood, but its leaders, being unable
to check the popular movement, yielded
a half hearted assent. The acquiscence is
merely on the surface. Sun.
By means of the foregoing in connec-
ton with flaring and intentionally mislead.
ing headlines the Sun of yesterday en-
deavored to create the impression that
the Democrats in congress were a unit
in opposition to the admission Of WYo
ming and all reports to the contrary. even
those published in the Sun and received
direct from Delegate Carey, were bald
falsehoods and nothing else.
The straight party vote which was
called out in the national house Tuesday
wa ssimply an expression OF principle
without any reference whatever to the
merits OF the Wyoming bill. An agree
ment had been entered into in the som
mittee on territories that the Oklahoma
bill should be called up first. Contrary
to this agreement the Wyoming measure
was called up. Springer then protested
and made his explanation, but the house
nevertheless voted to go into a considera-
ton Of the Wyoming bill. 1t did not get
beyond this stage up to the hour of ad-
iournment and the dispatches show that
the Oklahoma bill was the subject Of con-
sideration yesterday.
Nothing but the most bigoted partisan
ship could construe the congressional ac-
ton quoted into Democratic opposition to
Wyoming. There is only one of two con-
illusions to come to in this matter. Either
the Sun is willing to see statehood de-
fcated, or, believing that the Democrats
have now made every possible effort and
the case is won. it is anxious to claim the
whole credit for the Republican party.
The Suns attitude in the statehood
movement has been mighty peculiar of
late and its stabs at Delegate Carey. who
is supposed to be engineering the move
ment, have never received any satisfactory
e~xnlanntion

The advice which Daniel Webster

lowing %anecdote, might be followed
with advantage by many people. In

that it might have been followed to

man, lit seems to me that / have paid
that bill"
Mr.. N protested that it had not
been paid, and Mr.. Webster told him
to call in n few days and he would at
tend to the matter. After the man
had gone Mr.. Webster asked his clerk
TO look over n quantity of bills and see
If he could find n receipt for the
amount. To his surprise two receipts
were found, indicating that the bill
had been paid twice.
In due time Mr.. N called, Just at
the dinner hour, as it CHANGED, and
MIR. Webster invited him in TO dine.
After the meal was over they proceed
ed to the business in hand.

mortified and apologizcd as best he
could for his mistake.
Yes, it is always a good plan to
keep books" continued Mr.. Webster,
showing him a second receipt.

honest man, and not wishing to an
