FASCINATION OF THE eouLEvARos.
A Promenade Frcquented by the Pleasure
Seekers of All Glasses.

A Promenade Frequented by the Pleasure
seeker of All Glasses.
l shall always remember one of the
keenest emotions of my youth. 1 had
been obliged, owing 10 my duties at the
time, TO Danish myself to the provinces,
where Ihad remained almost two years,
confined within a small town. The
hour came at last for Inc to return to
Paris and once more to enter into its
possession. Hardly had l deposited my
trunk at the hotel when / al TO the
Madeleine and clambered on top of one
of the omnibuses that ply along the
line of the b~oulevards to the Bastille.
[ had no business at the Bastille, but /
was almost crazy with joy at breathing
during the drive that perfume of Paris
ian life which arises so strongly from
the asphalt of the boulevard and the
macadam Of its roadway.
1t was evening; the gas jets for
electricity was yet unknown) spangled
the darkness with yellow lights; the
shops, all opened, shone brilliantly
the crowd was stroIling up and down
the wide sidewalks. It was not one Of
those eager, breathless crowds that
seem carried away in a vortex of buS-
ness, such as one sees in London; it
was composed of loungers who seemed
to be walking about for their pleasure,
who were cheering to the sight, and
difused, as it we're, a feeling of happi-
ness in the air.
From time TO time the omnibus passed
before a theater, where long lines Of
people were already waiting for the
opening of the box Office; everybody
was enjoying himself and laughing.
As we descended toward the Bastle
the passersby became less numerous,
the groups less compact, but there still
remained the same air Of happy ANNA
ton. / do not know, but it seemed to
me that the very atmosphere was light
er, more luminous; it sparkled with
youth and life; l felt subtle fumes of
gayety mounting TO my brain, and l
remember that l could not refrain from
clapping my hands TO the great scan
DIAL Of my neighbors, who thought that
l was a little mad. 'Ah! how beautiful
it is-the boulevard" / exclaimed, and
/ breathed deep draughts Of that air
charged with joyous and spiritual cleo
tricity. -Francisque Sarcey in Serb
uer'E.

rnerpected Information.

Billy Florence, the actor, when in
Chicago related with no little JUNCTION
the following tale;
1T occurred TO me a number Of year
ago" he said. Il was on my way with
my company from New York. On the
train l had struck up an acquaintance
with a pretty little miss just entering hei
teens, and it vas not long before We
became fast friends, although neither
of US knew the others name.
Just before We rolled into Chicago
/ caught her looking very intently al
me, and / asked her what she wa.
thinking about. She blushed as if de
tected in a guilty act, but upon my ~
peating the question she said hesitat.

A snou stam Indoor.

On a very cold. clear night an even

In this situation, as it was absolutely

It is very difficult for persons who
have had no special training 70 learn
the names Of the flowers from the bot
any. The botany is a sealed book TO
them. The descriptions Of the flowers
are in a language which they do not
understand at all, and the key is no
help TO them. 1t is as much a puzzle as
the botany ITSELF They need a key to
unlock the key.
. One of these days some u viii give
us a handbook of our wild flowers, by
the aid of which we shall all be able 70
name those we gather in our walks
without the trouble of ~analyzing them.
In this book we shall have a list of all
our flowers arranged according to color,
as white flowers, blue flowers, yellow
flowers, pink flowers, etc, with place
of growth and time of blooming.
Also lists or sub-lists Of fragrant
flowers, climbing flowers, marsh flowers,
meadow flowers, wood flowers, etc, 30
that, with flower in hand, by running
over these lists we shall be pretty sure
to find its name. Having got its name
we can turn I Gray or Wood and find
a more technical description of it if we
choose. Indeed, i have heard that a
work with some such features has actu-
ally been undertaken by a lover Of birds
and howers-John Burroughs in St

BITTEN BY A vENoMous COBRA
Rapidly with Which the Poison Courses
Through a Victims Veins.

Through a Victims Veins.
The African cobra is known as the
splitting snake" on account of its
power to throw its enom quite a dis
lance into the eyes of its enemy. Ii is
a lazy reptile, save when stirred to
anger, when It cannot be equaled for
swiftness and accuracy in splitting or
biting its victim.
The splitting is accomplished by ex-
polling the breath sharply through the
mouth, so that the soapy venom flies
straight as a pea thrown from a pipe
into the victims eyes
This cobra attains the length of six
feet, and is large and powerful 1t is
doubly formidable from the fact that
il can swim in the rivers very swiftly,
and has no fear. In swimming the
cobra moves along very rapidly, with
its snout and beady eyes inst above the
waters surface.
when ! was stationed with my
regiment in Ceylon l had experiences
with the Indian breed d cobra that
were very exciting" says Lieutenant
Jephson.
MY servants rushed into the bunga-
low one morning, begging me to ave
the life of a man who had been bitten
by a cobra ] fastened out on 10 the
veranda. 20 find a crowd of men and
women bringing in a nan in a state
of semi-unconsciou less. They showed
me two deep red pots in his instep,
where the serpent fangs had been.
Il felt of his ags, and found that
they were alrea y stone cold, al
though the man lad been bitten but

Drawing my knife from my pocket
1 opened the : arpest blade and pro
ceeded at nee q cut deeply into the
mans iustep around the bitten part
and cut the flesh away. Meanwhile l
had sent in f.r a redhot poker.
when the iron came | pressed its
glowing end forcibly against the wound,
soaring the hesh about the instep. Then
Ipoured a quart Of whisky down the
poor wretch's throat "a rapidly as pos
sible.
He was so paralyzed from the effect
of the swift poison that he suffered no
pain from the soaring Of his flesh, but
murmured only;
" Burn, Dory, burn"
L watched him a~nxiously for half an
hour. when he was able 10 open his
eyes. Then | gave him mol whisky,
and found hat his pulse was much bet
ter. Another hour found him able TO
rise. after which l had the servants *
ercise him Is much as possible in order
TO counteract the deadly coma which
constantly came on-

last evening was in every way delightful af-
fair. Mrs. Hunt is the national superintendent

and the reception last evening was a pleasant
tribute to her character as a white ribboner
The large lecture room Of the church was
prettily decorated and the columns were hung
with the stars and stripes. The receiving party
stood on the lecture platform-Mrs Hunt, as
sisted by Miss Frances E. Willard and
Mrs Mary Lathrop-while Hon. John
A Picker OF South Dakota oiciated as ma ster of
ceremonies and introduced the guests Some
little time vas spent in conversation and pleas
ant reunions, and then the leading spirits OF
the evening were called upon for some
speeches.
Miss Willard expressed her qualification at
meeting so many of the W.C.T.U. people from
all over the country, and then went on to
make an address, in which she spoke q good
many words of praise for the union as well as
for the guest of the evening, whom she intro
duced as queen among women.

A Well-Attended Meeting Last Night-Th,
Officers Elected.

Well-Attended Meeting Last Night-The
Onicers Elected.
The projectors of the proposed stenographic
association have every reason to feel highly ell
couraged at the enthusiasm and interest dis
played in the new organization at the first
meeting last night. The new association may
be said to have been born grown up, and in all
probability will be spared most of the troubles
and mishaps of new clubs.
The meeting last night was held in Dennison
Hall.on street, and the fact that there was an
evident need for an organization which
would draw closer the bond of fraternity
between the many dallyers with the
vowel and consonan: was evidenced by
the large attendance. Some fifty would-be
members, over fifteen being ladies', sat around
the hall and listened to the remarks Of
Mr.. Willard Fracker, who called the meet
ing TO order. Mr.. Fracker discoursed on the
needs of the proposed association and the great
good to all concerned which would be accom-
plished with an easy flow of thoughts and
language that made fifty hands in the room
anxious to take down his remarks in those ave-
inspiring lines and curves which are SO mys-
FERROUS to the uninitiated. Mr.. Fracker said
the club was bound TO be q success. and he was
rejoced to see ii started. Good rooms must be
obtained. he said. and the quarters must be
fitted up in n comfortable manner. He wanted
also to see good library established and ii poC-
sihle the club rooms should contain billiard
room.
Temporary officers were elected at the close
of MIR. Frackers remarks as follows: Willard
Fracker, president; Otis P. Goodall. first vice
president: Mrs. VI. III. Day. second vice presi-
dent; ). b. Sheibley. secretary; D. p. Derby,
treasurer. committee, consisting of AIessrs.
York. Congdon. Lloyd. Towers. De knight and
Minuick, was appointed for the preparation of a
proper constitution and bylaws. Until this
| committee should report and the organization
be permanently effected an executive commit
tee. consisting of the president and Messrs.
Pope, Derby. Hitchcock, Cravatte, ,Iinnick
and Mrs. Olcott, was given general charge of
the affairs of the club.
Over seventy members have already been
enrolled and it il thought the club will start off
with 4 membership of 100.
