The misuse of the word "nee" is a source Of
perpetual tribulation to copy editors, pro
vincial "society reporters" especially being
prone to a mournful disregard Of its real
meaning. They have hazy but nevertheless
strong impression that it is equivalent to the
expression "whose former name was,n and
they rarely fail to use the full name in all its
aristocratic completeness. Now, the fact is,
that ''nee" is simply French for "born,n and
although the charming Mrs. De Lancey Jones
may have been "bornn an Edwards, she GER
tainly was not born "Miss Jemima Edwards. u
Little things of that sort don't always turn
out just as might be desired, you know. II
might be really too plebeian for the provincial
"society reporter" to refer to "Mrs. Jones,
nee Edwards but he might try. And be
certainly should avoid the error Of rural

came to be born to state of widowhood the

height of about 200 feet, and the walls of the

feet, and on one side form perpendicular
precipice. The bridge is of lime formation,

An Englishman in New York.

1t was o'clock when reached the hotel,
and time for dinner. On the principle of
eating foreign food in a foreign country, l
ordered all the strangest sounding plates on
the bill OF fare: Clam soup, pumpkin pie,
hominy, buckwheat cakes, sweet potatoes,
very nasty wild turkey and cranberries. The
result was a squashy, sloppy meal, at the end
of which my stomach was full, but didn't
feel as if I'd had square dinner. The only
thing did not follow the American system
in was drinks, for they drink nothing but
coffee and such like slops at dinner, and then
adjourn to bar to correct their insides with
cocktails. At the theatre, having stood up
in my place to let lady pass, the next mo-
ment found me seated on the ground in an
unbecoming heap, the seat Of my chair hav-
ing sprung up when did. This is one Of the
innumerablc Yankee notions" and is all
right when you know it, but you've got to
know it flrst.-Count Gleichen in Murray's

Memory Rings.

"a memory ring is merely.a silver ten cent
piece trimmed out, with the milled edges left
untouched. Usually the ring has bangle
attached, made of the inner part of the dime
and bearing the monogram of the youth who
has been inveigled into giving the girl the
coin. The ring when finished costs less than
81. Sometimes it is made double, the two
dimes being cemented together
"Another novelty is the friendship ring. A
girl goes among the young men of her ac-
qusntance and gets from each little sum Of
money, varying from cent TO dime, and
when she has laid tribute on all her friends
she buys a ring such as the proceeds of her
work viii purchase. Memory rings seem to
be the favorite. ."-Jewelers' Weekly.

Queer Stories, Strange Saws and Proverbs
sI That Fill the Negroes Mind.

a
M That Fill the Negroes Mind.
The island negro is full of legends, stories
and quaint proverbs. 1t is pity that they
should never have been regularly collected
and recorded, for the race of the old time
house slave woman, who held her audience
breathless with the wonderful doings of
"Anancy" and his wife, "Crooky," and a
son, "Tacooma," is now almost passed away.
All of the strange out-of-the-way phenomena
of tropical nature are alive with suggestions
of the supernatural and the mysterious to the
negro mind.
At various parts of the island are su bier
ranean rivers that here and there make a
sudden appearance, to run swiftly for few
miles, and then to disappear again in the
bowels of the earth. In places the water ap
pears only in circular sink holes, always
brimming but never overaowing, even in the
wet season, or never diminishing, even in the
dry. In one of the mountain fastnesses a
negro pointed out to me such a gloomy pool,
with neither inlet nor outlet. To him it was
the habitation of some monstrous subaqueous
creature named Croomie. He told me that
nobody dared even 60 near the margin, for
Croomie would catch him and pull him un
der. | could gather nothing from him but
the bare facts, for when pressed him for
further details concerning Croomie's charac-
ter and habits, he evidently took my ques
tions for covert ridicule, and withdrew him
self into the shell Of non-comprehension.
In their peculiar dialect the negroes possess
fund of quaint saws and proverbs "Alli-
gator lay eggs, but him no fowl" says one,
Fishermen never say him fish t'ink," says
another. Referring to the land crab: "Lit-
tie crab hole spoil big race horse" Some OF
these quaint sayings show not only the keen
insight of the semi-sayage into the character
istics of the voiceless creation, but also
wonderfully sly and cunning knowledge of
the weakness of poor human nature
"Duck and fowl feed togedder, but no roost
togedder," "When man dead grass grow at
him door" "Dog run for him character,
pig run for him life" Hungry dog eat
cockroach." "Man bit by snake, him run
away from lizard" Such are few of the
many score of the like sayings that pass cur
rent from mouth to mouth of the merry black
island peasantry. Hyle in Harper's

A MUSICIANS ROMANCE.
How a Diplomatic Young Man Secured q
Start I'm Life as q Teacher.

How Diplomatic Young Man Secured g
Start in Life as q Teacher.
Diplomacy isa great quality, said friend
who formerly lived in very small Ohio
town. "a man can do nearly everything by
the proper use of diplomacy except to rob a
bank. / was just reading something about a
volunteer organist that set me thinking about
neat little bit Of diplomacy that lifted a
good man from misfortune's ditch and put
him in the way OF doing something for him
self. He was musician with a small
travelling show which came along and went
to pieces in our town The other people of
the company got out Of town by hook or
crook, but this poor fellow couldn't make it.
He got acquainted with several young fellows
of the town, however, and to one of these he
confided that he would make a living by
teaching music IL he could only get start.
'The young fellow asked him what he could
play, and he said he~could play all the kinds
of horns in a band, the banjo, guitar, either,
violin, flute, piano and organ-in fact he
could play any kind of musical instrument
ever made
"Then an idea struck him, and he asked
what kind of organists they had in the two
churches. The young fellow said they were
pretty good; his sister was one Of them.
Thereupon scheme formed itself in the
musicians mind He told bis friend that il
he could get a chance to play the organ next
Sunday he thought he could surprise the
folks, and maybe pave the way to getting a
foothold as a teacher he suggested that the
young fellow present the case to his sister and
have her get sick the next Sunday and send a
note of apology, and suggesting himself as
her substitute.
"This was all carried out in proper form,
and when the time had arrived and the min
lister had apologized for the substitute the
musician seated himself at the little organ
and began. He started off with voluntary
in sweet, expressive strain and worked it
up to a noble burst Of music which, in vary
ing phases, swept along and held the congre-
cation enchanted Nobody had ever sus
pected the poor little organ capable Of any
thing half so grand, and you may be sure
that the musician overlooked no points.
From that time on the church service was
simply an accompaniment to the music, and
when it was finished, and the organ poured
forth another food Of harmony for the con-
gregation to retire on, everybody just stood
and listened, and before the stranded musi-
clan left the church he knew all the good
people in town and was made a social lion.
1T was easy enough after that Being
man Of good address and discretion, and pos
sessing gentlemanly refinement as we'll, he
quietly went to work and soon had a lot of
the best pupils in the town. Then the young
fellows went after him for banjo and guitar
lessons, and afterward they organized band
and made him leader Everything came his
way, and he married the daughter of one of
the rich men OF the town, and, well, he runs
the biggest music store in the place now. All
accomplished by bit of diplomacy "-Chi-
