TINE ARGONAUT HAS NOW BEEN PUB.
i lisheG for thirteen years, O fact which DEM
onstratcs that an American paper can live in
America, something hitherto doubted by
newspaper men.
The ARGoNAUT is strongly American. 1t be-
lieyes that this country can run its own affairs
without any assistance from the benevolent
foreigners who nave come over to direct mat
tcfs for us. 1t thinks we have too many for
eisners here now, and that the rest had better
stay away.
The ARGoSAUr is the uncompromising foo
OF demaeogues-those men in high places Who
truclSle 10 the ignorant foreign vote are un-
sparingly lashed oy its whip.
The ARGoNAUf believes that enough has
been done in this country TO catch the irish
vote and the German vote. 1t Is time now
that something should be done to catch The
American vote.
The ARGoNAUr believes in ana advocates
these ideas, not with buInptiousness or Cnau-
vinisnI. but with extreme tel.acity.
Outside of its editorial columns the ARGo-
NAUT has many features OF interest.
1t publishes bright weekly letters from New
York, Paris and London. from skilled CORE
spondcnts. who are in touch with the intense
life Ofthose great cities
1t publishes frequent letters from other
points in the old world, and from the older
world of Asia como occasional letters from
India. China and Japan.
The ARGoNAUT does not publish seria
stories. Each number Is complete in itself
Its short stories are famous throughout the
country. 1t is hard to describe their peculiar
tinge, but an idea may be gathered from this,
our standing injunction to our contributors:
Whatever you are, never be con1monplacep
The result IS that the ARGoSAUr short stories
have an individuality OF their own.
The ARGoNAUT endeavors TO present q
weekly review of the literary movement Brief
notes on books rather than lengthy reviews,
together with notes upon authors and journal
lists, will keep the reader well up with the
literary gossip of the day.

tory. While watching the work one ofthe
men asked her Majesty for single hair

through the hole and then presented it to

ductor of which was a man named Ed

how ne could go to work to get a place on

help him get on he would pay him for
his trouble. Witness told Moran he had

might help him through that friend. His

him to go to Sacramento and get Belau's

know if there would be anything to pay,

require Something-that men would not
work for nothing.

The other day a large, Swear old Bengal
tiger escaped from the Weidauer menag-
erie at Dusseldorf. The proprietor of the
menagerie at once informed the police of
the matter, who Immediately sent all the
men at their disposal, as well as a number
of firemen, to search for the animal. The
expedition, which was undertaken by
torchlight, was at first without success,
and the men returned toward midnight,
presuming that the animal had fled away
Between and 3 in the morning, however
news reached the police that the tiger had
paid visit to a gardener ON the Null
helm road, and had killed his dog and de
voured a pig and was lying in the garden
Once more the police and the firemen went
off, armed with rifles, pistols, pixies etc.
Some of the men went into the garden
and some cut off the quarry in the rear,
while two of them crept stealthily about
the yard with raised guns. At the first
shot in the garden the animal took a fly
ing leap over the wall into the yard. One
of the men here fired and struck the beast
in the head, making him roar loudly 1t
then turned around and sprang over the
railing, several bullets being sent after
it. On the other side of the railing the
animal, now nearly mad with pain, unfor-
tunately fell on policeman, and stuck
his teeth and claws into his thigh. At
this moment another man ten PAGES off
fired and struck the tiger il the back
This shot seemed to paralyze the beast,
and it soon fell dead to the ground.-Ber

A dog story, mailing from Putney, is re-
lated by "A Mr. John Bell. He tells us that
on his way to the train one morning he
saw brown retriever rushing along with
letter in his mouth. The dog went
straight to a pillar box in the wall The
postman had, however, just cleared the
box, and was twenty or thirty yards away
when the dog arrived. The "sagacious
animal went after hini,T' says Mr.. Bell,
land had the letter transferred to the bag.
He then walked home quietly"
VIII Mr., Bell be good enough to tell US
something more about this dog? His his
tory should certainly exhibit other traits
worth study in the matter of canine sagac-
ity, and the story of his being trained to
act the part of q servant in posting letters
may reveal much that will interest Sir
John Lubbock and all other lovers of dogs,
and especially of clever and intelligent ca
mines. What one would like to know fur
ther, is something about the dogs intent,
or that of his owner, in the matter of post
ing the letter.
Surprising the dog arrives at the post
box in the wall, how is the letter he carries
to be posted? Does he depend on chance
passer by to relieve him of the letter and
transfer it to the box? Or is he only sent
at times when the postman clears the re
ceptacle? In the latter case, does the dog
refuse to deliver the letter to any one save
the official? And how was he trained to
perform this workP Information on these
points will be welcomed. London Illus

STYLES in Hair Thirty Yenrs AGO


And the ways of wearing the hair thirty
years ago. Some old ladies had pretty
fashion of letting their own soft, silvery
locks fall in delicate, fluffy little curls
from under caps of finest lace; but many
wore fronts" of palpably false hair, while
the style for middle aged and young wom-
en- was anything but beautiful, being
great, wide puffs projecting three or four
inches from the side of the head, covering
the ears and much of the neck, brought as
low as possible on the forehead and as close
rs possible to Che eyes, A small face look
ing from between these Overshadowing
puffs looked like that of lopeared rabbit,
while the style gave to "A large face a pc
culiarly aggressive expression.
Old ladies were the only ones permitted
to wear curls, frizzes, or any other style of
hairdressing that was not severely plain
and young girls who had the misfortune
to have naturally curly hair had hard
time of it, for the hair must be brushed
and glued close and flat to the head with a
sticky preparation called "bandoline," then
much in favor. The long hair that could
not thus be disposed of was then divided
into two parts, made into heavy braids and
wound around the ears
Outside of these wheels of hair and COW
ering the ears were many loops of narrow
ribbon made into stiff rosettes, three or
four inches in diameter, with long stream
ers depending therefrom, the whole ar

to the physiognomy.-H Il. Smith in

From statistics which NJ. Flammarion
has gathered he shows that in every part
of France and the Continent during the
past six years the thermometer has been
getting lower and lower the fall being
more noticeable in the spring than in the
other seasons of the year. Great Britain
shows u similar excess of cold weather.
while strange to say Denmark, Norway,
Sweden and Russia, which we have been
accustomed to regard as cold countries,
have, during the past four years, had a
higher temperature than that to which
they are accustomed.
NJ. Flammarion goes farther back than
this, and quotes history to show that in
past years many trees which once -four
ished in northern France are now found
only in the south, while others have disap-
peared altogether. Among these are named
the lemon, which no longer grows at
Languedoc; the orange, which has deserted
Roussilon, and the Lombardy poplar,
which has disappeared from the country
altogether, He also points out that many
noted vintages have ceased to be, owing to
the impossibility of growing the grapes
under the altered climatic conditions.
There is not now single vineyard, he tells
us, to be found north Of Paris.-Cham bers'

The art of making perfumes is as old as
history itself Before painting, music or
architecture had crystallized into art, per.
fume and the method of making it had
taken n strong hold on all peoples. A
sacrifice of perfume in the form of incense
was necessary part of many ancient re.
ligions. Incense was used by the Hebrews,
later by the Druids of England, and now
is in all Roman Catholic churches.

Many Brooklyn ladies come TO New York
TO do their shopping because of the almost
unearthly din which is never ceasing on
Fulton street, where nearly all the Brook
lyn stores are located This seems partic.
ularly strange when it is remembered that
Brooklyn is known the world over as a
quiet town.
The reason that Fulton street is such a
noisy thor0ughfare is due to the fact that
it is narrow rs compared with Broadway,
the elevated railroad is low in most places,
the surface of the street is crowded with
horse cars, and being the principal bust
ness street Of the city, it has to carry more
chan the average amount of traffic AS an
"artery of trade" it is success, but as a
quiet land for a stroll it cannot be recon-
mended
At times it is impossible to carry on con
yersaton on the street, and this difficulty
led two men a few days ago to appear there
each with an ear trumpet, and with these
they complacently walked up Fulton street
from the city hall, carrying on an ANNA
ted discussion by means of them.-New
York Letter.

What to Rend.

Read the good old books that have lived
and held their own by the vitality of mat
ter and style that makes them standards.
Don't read lot of new books about the
Bible; read the Bible, and then you will
understand what you may afterward read
about the Bible Read Shakespeare, not
controversies on Shakespeare; read Scott
and Thackeray and Dickens and George
Eliot, Do not be content with short his
tory Of literature that tells you their best
works, and makes a few disconnected eX.
tracts, and tells you their standing, and
what you should think of them.
Read intelligently aGd with interest, and
every book you read will guide you to the
next that is good for you personally, far
better than a strange mentor can do, who
is often full of theories and preiudices, or
perhaps has gotten up course of study as
u pot boiler and has no real love of his
subject Literary News.

CHATTANOOGA, Dec, 4.-The removal
of Mrs. Steele as matlon Of the colored

IN an interview:
"With three other ladies on Saturday
we left the institution because M $.
Steele made it so unpleasant for us I'll Ut
we could not stay The children we. @
treated in the most horrible manner.
They were poorly fed and half clothed.
Mrs, Steele's rule was that the children
should have meat to eat twice week,
but If they got it that often we did ? Vt
know it. The children would come it, 0
my room eating bones like dogs, and
they would act like one of these Croa-
lures when the bones would be tai ]
away from them. They were requi d
to do without food for two or three
meals as a punishment. The usual food
consisted Of peanuts, crackers ard
bakers bread. Each Of the children
would have their allowance issued out 10
them, and | have seen them pick up tie
crumbs on he floor from the table af VI
finishing eating what was given to them.

UNLAWFUL GATHERINGS.
Anarchists Convicted Of Holding secret
Meetings


Meetings.
CHICAGO, Dec "A question az civil
lights was decided by Police Justice
Woodman "Wednesday morning, and
while the city won a victory, technically,
IN reality it has suffered a decided de-
feat. The decision grows out of the ac-
ton of the police at the time of the an
archist demonstration in this city on
Nov. II, the anniversary Of the exocu-
ton OF Parsons, Spies ana the other Hay
market anarchists, WHOM they compelled
the leaders Of the demonstration TO dis
play the American flag. A few days
later a decent was made on Grief's sd
loon, on West Lake street, where anarah-
lists have been in the habit of assembling,
and the police arrested several persons
who were denouncing the action of the
officers on the 18th.
AT the hearing in the police court the
prisoners and their friends claimed that
the meetings thus forcibly broken up
were not anarchistic, and were entirely
innocent OF menace to the public wei
fare; that one Of them was a meeting Of
the managers Of labor publication, and
the other trade union. They de-
nounced the action Of the police as with
out color of law, and in defiance of the
right OF peaceable assembly. The JUS
tice expressed the opinion that the as
semblies raided were Unlawful ones. He
therefore fined the leaders 500 each,
and the others $40. The fines, at the in
stance OF the city prosecutor, We're at
once suspended. This action was pre-
sumably taken for the purpose Of avoid
ing an appeal to the higher courts. 1t is
ants will apneal nevertheless.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Whether or not
the American Bible society shall have
an exhibit at the worlds fair, and shall
distribute portions of the Scripture to
the millions of visitors that will be at
tracted to Chicago in 1893, is the ques-
ton upon which a special committee Of
that organization Is endeayoring to
come to conclusion at the Bible house.
There is some opposition to the idea ON
the ground that the society's current
funds have run very low during the
past year in comparison with the worl,
It is already doing. On the other hand,
it is urged that if it is necessary to raise
extra funds to meet the emergency.
there are enough Christian people in
this Christian country who will be will
ing to contribute literally to carry out
the object.

Brooklyn claims the distinction of pos

pared with the roar Of traffic which one
hears when standing near the postoiice in
