The Pathetic Experience cf MrR.
Frontpew and Her EasterBonnet
What q bonnet 1t Was The very
band-box that it came in seemed to
appreciate the value and naagnihceasce
it contained-sucl a substantial, well
varnished, responsible bandlbox. In
the steps the .nessenger carried it and
rang the bell. Her husband felt a
chill come such as that we experience
when, according to the old eossips,
somebody walks over our future
grave.
1t was Easter, and if one can't have
a new bonnet after the Lenten de-
privation and abstinence, when is one
entitled to one, anyhow?
Mrs. Frontpew tried it on in the
parlor and said her husband was q
duck, and gathered the family around
her that they might bask in the sun
light OF it's glory. And what a bonnet
OF glory it was! What u creation of
creams and other soft colors! What
masterwork of feathers and birds
and flowers! To have one such bon
net was worth living a lifetime for.

The door-bell rang again. Another
messenger boy came up.
'"This is Mrs. Frontpew's bonnet"
said the messenger. "The other one
was left by mistake. 1t should have
gone to Mrs. Slyly, next door,"
With a blanched face she gave back
the bonnet and looked at her own.

thus.
'DEAR MAnAM,-Our inquiries for q

herself Medeline Gordon, have at last

Ayoung woman called at my house

poor woman whose child is dying.
On being desired to give the name Of
the person who needed assistance, she
stated that she had called upon her own
responsibility, as the sufferer would
not consent that charity should BE
asked for herself or her child. Shehas
kaown better days, it seems, and her
pride shrinks from asking aid even for
her perishing child.
"I inclose the address furnished me,

Tho Maiden of the Sierra and some
OF Her Traits Z.
The siskiyou girl is not safe to
trifie with, either in an amatory or
jocular way. Her life has been spent
esthetically. She is conversant with
nature from early childhood, and
having nothing else, probably, to do
she reads her lessons in mountain
streams land storm-beaten rocks.
Miss Siskiyou is q healthy and strap
ping dame. She has remark able
strength and her power of endurance
would shame San Joaquin mule in
to committing suicide. Generally she
Is a capital shot, and with her broth
ers and father has assisted at the
slaughter of bear, which abound in
the mountains. She is expert with
the rod. and as rider she could give
points to the most daring queen of
the circus. She comes of a predatory
race, for these mountains are inhab-
tied by a class Of people who declare
that they would die OF suffocation in
village and that God intended
man for the mountains and wild
beasts for him to forage upon.
Under such conditions we find tall
and sinewy girl, with foot ample in
it's dimensions, long but not broad, an
ankle thin and we'll set, and an enor-
nous length OF limb. Her body is
slight and willowy, her shoulders
broad and straight, the chest but
little developed, the throat thin, sup
porting IL small head with very mark
ed features. Her hair is generally
tawny, her eyes blue, coldly blue, her
nose hooked, her mouth thin but
large and furnished with strong white
teeth. Her voice is metallic, and it has
q queer ring in it as one accustomed
to command. She pays no attention
to her dress, and is unguilty of any
attempt to make herself attractive.
Her tlirtations are limited and so is
her acquaintanceship. She admires
4 the festive cowboy, while she has a
4 wholesome contempt for the lumber
man, whose occupation she deems
giirlish. But her whole soul-at least
that portion of it which, poor girl, she
has-is given up to the professional
hunter. for in these ountainous wilds
there live men whose business it is to
hunt, as the rancheros offer respecta-
BILE rewards for the skins of coyotes,
bears, and mountain lions, and a
skillful shot can make more money at
this pursuit-which to him, after all,
is pleasure-than can the man who
herds sstock.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Opposition In Europe to Engineer
Stephensonrs Proposition to Build
Railroad.
George Stephenson, the celebrated
engineer, ussd to speak with indigna-
lion of how the "Parli,nent men" bad
gered aud baffled him with their book
learning when he proposed to build q
railroad from Liverpool to Manches-
ter.
'The smoke from the engines" said
those leasrned men, twill kill the birds,
and the sparks will set fire to the
fields and houses. mhepassengers will
be made seasick; the noise will frighten
away the game, and thousands of
coachmen and iinnkeepers will be
thrown out of employment.
The;fast mail cOadhes were driven at
the rate of ten uniles'an hour. When
Stevenson asserted that his steam
coaches would attain a much more
rapid rate of speed, ihewas laughed at
and hooted at ASA ack-brained en-
thusiast.
"Nou must not claim q speed over
fifteen miles an hour," said the nerv-
GUS counsel of the promoters of the
railroad to Stephenson, just as he
was about to; appear before a parlia-
mentary commitbee.
"A member,of the'committee, oppos-
ed ito the proposed railroad, thought
he could make the simple-hearted
engineer assert an absurdity that
would kill the project.
Well, Mr.. Stephenson, he asked,
perhaps you could 60 seventeen
miles an hour?"
Eyes"
Perhaps :twenty miles an hour?
Certainly"
"Twenty-five, I dare say. You do
mot think it possible?"
Dangerous, thought"
Certainly not"
"Now tell me, Mr.. Stephenson; will
You say that you can 60 thirty
miles an hour.
Certainly"
The fish was ihooked to an absurd
nty, so every lmember of the commit
tee thought, and they all leaned back
i'll their chairs and lroared with laugh
ter.
