ono Momnnlx woman.

1t was eleven o'clock at night and l
was going to my room in a Florida
hotel, when a woman came out of her
room, fully dressed, and Asked
DO you belong to the hotelg'
mo, ma'am.n
Are there many people here to-
niehtg'
at is crowded"
"And it won't do to start a panic.
Let me say quietly to you that the
hotel is on fire. | have known it for
ten minutes, but did not want to
create any excitement
Are you sure, ma'amYh / asked.
Entirely sure, sir. | smelled the
smoke while in bed. You go quietly
down and tell the clerk. and / will
knock On all the doors on this floor. ="
She vas wonderfully cool and COL
lected and l never thought of doubt
ing her assertion. Going down by
the stairway, l beckoned the clerk
aside and told him of the fire.
He went to the elevator with me
and assembled to the third floor, where
we found about twenty half-dressed
people in the halls. The woman who
had given me orders came up and
SAID
Come this way. 1 don't think the
fire has much of a start yet"
We followed her to her room and
began to sniff and snuff. There was
certainly a strong odor of something
burning, but the clerk had taken only
one sniff when he went out and raped
on the next door.
"Hello!" called a voice.
Are you smoking?"
''Yes.n
smoking Florida tobacco?"
Eyes; what of it,"
Nothing. Ma'am, you can go back
to bed. Much obliged to you foryour
sagacity and wit, but both were a
little too keen this time. The stingy
old cuss in that room is smoking
swamp tobacco, and it always smells
like a fire eating its way under a pine

A Paradise for ola Maids.


In Buenos Ayres it is said there are
sixteen men to one woman, and the
unmarried males are anxious to secure
wives. When a new woman enters
town about fifty men make wild ef-
forts to secure her. 1t don't matter
much about the woman's age or looks.
She is received with open arms and
married in a jiffy to some nice young
man after a courtship usually lasting
about three days. 1t seems to us that
here there is a great chance for some
e~nterprising persons to enrich them
selves. Let them organize a Female
Aid to Emigration Society and ship a
nice lot of girls to Buenos Ayres, with
the understanding that the prospec-
tive husbands when secured shall re-
pay all the expenses, together with a
handsome gift for the great service
rendered. -Pottsrflie Miners Journal.

THERE is one point about Speaker
Bergen's County Boundary bill which
we do not understand. 1t requires
advertisement of proposed changes in
the Trenton Newspapers. Whyg
What sense is there in advertising at
Trenton changes to be made in Bergen
or Cape May. The Trenton papers
have no sort Of metropolitan standing,
and their circulation outside of
Mercer County is insignificant.
Would it not be more reasonable to
require the advertisement in the
county seats of the counties con
cerned, or in the official papers of the
townships involved in the proposed
changes. /.

III Russian Ed.

In order to be really what the
French call chic" it appears that
nowadays must be as Russian as
possible. This craze began in Paris
with the Importation from Peters
burg of what is called Szarlna under
wear, says the UpbolsteTer. If the
acme of Russian elegance is to be at
tanned, the walls of bedrooms, librar-
les, halls and passages should be hung
with more or less costly cloth OF gold
and silver, like that used for ecclesias-
teal vestment of the Orthodox
church, with various adaptations of
the Christian symbol brocaded there
on; or, failing this, embroidered cot
ton stufs of a red or yellowish tint,
such as are made by peasant women
OF the Ural, are used as tapestries.

Princess Beatrice.

Princess Beatrice expects to be one
of the exhibitors at the Paris Salon
next year, and will be represented by
n sunset view OF the Champs Elysee
at Biarritz and by a group of rare
orchids which she is now at work up
on. This gifted and cultured daughter
of the Queen PLAYS as excellently as
she paints, reading classical music at
sight, speaks faultless French and
German, reads and writes both
languages with as great facility as
English, does wonderful bits OF en-
broidery while her ladies in waiting
read to her, knits and crochets nit
tens and hoods for the poor
by the score, and is well known
in the literary world as well. The
birthday book which she arranged
and illustrated exhibits her peculiar
delicacy in flower painting. and was
so great a success that with the pro-
ceeds of its sale she added an entire
ward to one of the children's hospitals.
This ward, which is known as the
Princess Beatrice, has a dado border
of the hower-wreathed verses from
the birthday book.

self destruction. Distress after eating, sick head

digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the
mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys-

AssEMBLYMAN DALY's Grand
Jury" bill is a piece of cheap dema-
gogism which ought to be jumped on
by the Senate. There are too many
packed grand juries drawn under the
present system all over tie State to
make it safe to entrust any such
power to them as this bill con-
templates. At present the Judges of
the Sessions or Oyer and Terminer
have the sole power of discharging
prisoners. The Grand Jury q make
recommendations to them, and so can
the Prosecutor. This is as it should
be. Mr.. Days claim that the Prose
cutor has the ear of the court so ex-
clusively that no person can be dis
charged against his will is very like an
insult to the Judiciary. His whole
proposition is about equivalent to
saying that our judges are not fit
men to administer Justice, and that
Grand Jurors, on the average, are
much better.

Antiquity of the Cat,

AS regards the remoteness of the pc
Rod at which the dog and the cat were
'dOmesticated, it is true that remains Of
the former animal are found in the lake
dwellings of central Europe On the
other hand, we read of the cat in Sans
crit writings older than the beginning
Of our era, and we find it pictured on
Egyptian monuments of Pharaonic times.
Moreover, the cat, being sacred to Isis,
was often mummifed, and some of the
cat mumnies date from 1900 years ago.
IN our day cats are distinguished for at
tachment to localities rather than to
persons; but it may be doubted whether
this was SO in ancient Egypt, where for
ages they were treated with unvarying
kindness, and even with veneration.-
