..rhey Gang Their Ain oa,t.-

Something that is very much neglect
ed nowadays among young women is
the art of walking well. Most people
reach their desired destination at the
cost of great deal of scrambling, of
jerking shoulders, of angular elbows
working like the vans of windmill, of
arms laboring like oars, swinging hips,
head nodding as cows does when she
walks, the gown flung behind at every
, movement of the heels, tho knees bent
and the feet lifted with the stiffness of
a jumping jack pulled by a string;
and, provided they reach the point
aimed for, a goodly proportion of their
number think no more about it.
Others, again, walk with fiexibility
Chat is to say, with the want of it, of
a peripatetic ramrod, the head, the
back, the legs, the feet all moving to-
gether with a simultaneous and I'M
jointed precision that gives them the
air of automatic playing at life, and the
imperturbable restraint no more like
the dignity or composure desired than
an angle is like the line of beauty.
There are others still who walk with
n mince and a wriggle which are pain
full to see, which makes one think OF
a hitching canker worm, and welcome
heartily the sight of the no less repre-
hensible Amazon who stalks onward
without measuring her steps, hit OF
miss, so that she gets over the ground,
or the loose jointed individual who rat
ties along as If every bone in her body
We're hung on wire, like those OF the
skeleton in the physicians closet.
There. too, is the tripping young
thing at whose figure you never glance
without thinking of the topical song,
lone, two, three, balance like me-" :

Emperor wlilram.. First speech.

Few people who read the Emperor
Williams speeches in the newspapers
have ever heard of William lis maiden
burst of oratory. 1t occurred in 1880
at K9nigsburg, the occasion being a
banquet rendered to the then Crown
Prince Frederick and his son, Prince
William. The crown prince sat at the
head of the table, pipe in mouth and a
big bumper of claret in front of him,
to all seeming enjoying himself to his
hearts content.
He showed no particular inclination
to talk-a fact which seemed to have a
restless effect upon his son-for the
young prince Suddenly got up, bowed
to his father, and launched out in pas
sionate verbiage on the duties of a sol
der and the glories of tine Fatherland.
The crown prince at first looked aston
ished, and then a smile of satisfaction
and pride wreathed itself amid the
puffs of his pipe, and turning to the
general who sat by his side lie said,
well, William is not quite his mothers
boy, but lie suits his father to perfec-
ton. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Stolen Dogs in Paris.

Stolen dogs that are to be sold to
dealers are first rendered unrecogniz-
able. If the animal has long hair, he
is clipped; if he is black and white, the
stealer blackens him all over with a dye
mixture that holds its color for several
weeks. Short haired dogs have their
ears and tails cut. The dealers who
sell these dogs may be frequently seen
in the Champs Elysees, the Bots de
Boulogne or in the public gardens, lead
ing five or six animals at a time. Other
dealers make their trades at the dog
markets, of which there are two-on
Sunday afternoons at the horse market
on the Boulevard Port Royal, and on
Tuesdays at the bird market on the
Quai aux Fleurs. The dealers pay a
tax of three cents for each place occu-
pied by a dog.-Paris Cor. New York

old Men as Directors.

A few days ago was In the board
room of a great banking institution in
the vicinity of the Western Union
building, at meeting of the board of
directors Itwas famous corporation,
dealing with millions as boy plays
with marbles. and its operations are
felt pretty much from one end of the
country to the other There were eight
directors present. and without wishing
to be disrespectful or personal, must
say that they were the drowsiest and
sleepiest lot of elderly and rheumatic
men that l had seen in many day. At
least six of them We're over seventy
years of age, and the remainder were
Three or four chatted ainiably and gar
rulousiy with one another and paid no
attention whatever to the reports of
the secretary or the comments of the
cashier. The president had hacking
cough, and was so peevish that all the
employees of the place were afraid of
him, and the board as body paid so
little attention TO the proceedings that
vote after vote was recorded without a
voice being raised.
The secretary would say. al take it
that the opinion of the board is in the
affirmative" and then iot down that
the yeas had it. Many of the director,
evidently did not know what he was
talking about 1t occurred to me then
that the policy of taking lot of elder
ly financiers, whose faculties had been
worn out by years of arduous work. and
putting them in charge of the affairs OF
great corporations, merely on account
of their accumulated wisdom, was a
fundamental mistake. Men in the finan-
cial world do not retain their mental
vigor as late in life as men who follow
other avocations in this country. The
pace is too hot. 1t seems to me it might
be the part of wisdom to put younger
men on the boards of direction in the
big companies. 1t is certain that the
stockholders deserve more protection
than they receive under the present sys-
tem.-Blakely Hall in Brooklyn Earle.

Mrs. Dorothy Stanley is of the opin-
