The following scene occurred in the
Brass City one afternoon: A very neat,
gray haired colored woman, sixty-five
or so. got into a ear in which there
were a number of persons. She located
herself on the shady side. Presently
two women came to get in and bade her
move up. She very quietly replied that
she preferred to keep her seat. Then,
with angry looks and words truly in
sulting to the we'll behaved auntie, they
took seat in front, one of them being
in the sun They kept up a most sar-
castle manner until she reached her
destination and then exclaimed: Now,
look out for your fine complexion, or
you'll spoil it.. She tossed her head
and good naturedly replied ''Nevah
mind Use paid my five cents and had
right TO the shady sidey' She was
the nearest to being a Iady.-Wate

Where Eating Is Cheap.

Up to the present the city of Vienna
has furnished the best solution to the
knotty problem of a popular eating
house. A philanthropic association,
composed of ladies and gentlemen of
good position, some twenty years age
established restaurants at reduced
prices, which are marvels of organiza-
ton and cheapness. A man may eat
and drink to his hearts content at the
rate of Is sous Us eentsl per diem.
Here are some Of the prices Vegetable
soup 8 kreutzers less than one cent;
bread, kreutzer; tea or coffee, 3
kreutzers; egg, 2 kreutzers; a slice of
ham or beef, 6 kreutzers.
These Volkskuchen. as the estab-
lishments are called, are under the per
sOnal management of members of the
association. They are. as may be
readily supposed, most numerously fre-
quented by the working classes, stu
dents, clerks, etc. The bill of fare
changes every day, and you may dine
a Ia carte. No intoxicants are pro-
vided, and smoking is prohibited on the
premises. Perfect order is always
Last and most extraor-
dinary item, the society realizes
profit. Paris Letter.

Hov an Ordinary Mother Pussy Pound :
Honie for uer Young Ones
&. The ordinary house cat is capable Of
displaying great intelligence when the
need is imminent and her maternal in
stincts are aroused. A cat belonging
to family who had II cottage at New
port bad raised her progeny in peace
for several years beneath the friendly
R,of. when the advent of small bull
terrier sent her and her five young kit
tens in great dismay under the house.
For several days they lived in torment,
hardly daring to show their noses. un-
oil the mother. becoming desperate,
resolved to change her abode.
Deliberately selecting a ueighbOring
cottage where there was one dog who
had been brought up with cats and
rather liked them than otherwise, and
taking dark night when the enemy
was asleep. she moved her entire family,
one by one, into the cellar Of this new
place Of refuge-much to the annoy
ance Of the mistress Of the house, who
had a peculiar antipathy to cats. After
few days the whole family were voted
an unendu1ble nuisance. Twice they
were sent back to their original abode,
and each time they returned in full
force. The children plead for the little
kittens. however. so the mother cat was
ANONYMOUSLY bundled into a basket
and carried few miles back into the
country and let loose.
That night about o'clock the most |
terrible squealing and mewing broke /
out among the cats. The cOrnmotion
lasted about an hour and then utterly
ceased Ibid you hear those catsf
every one exclaimed as they met at the
breakfast table. Strange to say, every
trace of the FIVE kittens had completely
vanished and the cause was discovered
later The indignant and i'll used pussy
had returned, held an indignation meet
ing with her children. and had departed
with them one and all-taking refuge
in still another house in the neighbor-
hood.
This last family, feeling sorry for a
rat who struggled so bravely to keep
her family together, endured their cat
arwauling for several days until they,
too. became desperate. The cats, hav-
ing grown willy, were most difficult to
catch. Several, however, were capt
nred and sent in different directions,
while the mother was presented to the
butcher as a good mOuser, and taken
by him TO a neighboring village.
And here Is shown the wonderful
pertinaeity and intelligence Of this
united eat family. One after the other
they all returned to their original
home, the old mother having found her
way back over the weary miles, and
with Owen Meredith's,
How, after all, old things are best"
she reasSembled her progeny in their
old abiding place, made friends with
the terrier, and IS now enjoying her
well earned rest.-New York Tribune

Nearly the whole Of IN act of "Lohen-
grin" has at last been performed at the
Grand Opera, but the trick was man
aged in such n way that no Chauvinistic
prcjudices could be hurt. 1t was an
nounced that at tho performance given
for the benefit of IL. Dumainie duet
from Wagners opera would be sung by
Nine. Caron and H. Vergnet. When
the audience expected the two singers
to come on in ordinary dress the con-
ductor gave tho signal for the orchestra
to attack the first chord of the prelude
to the third act.
The curtain then rose on the bridal
chorus, and, this finished, Elsa and
Lohcngrin were left on the stage to sing
the most interesting and the most im-
passioned love duet that has ever been
written. Now that an attempt has been
made to reverse the sentence passed
upon Tannhauser five and twenty years
ago at the Opera, and TO make amends
for the brutal treatment of "Lohengrin"
at tho Eden theatre. it is to be hoped
that the hundreds who applaud Wagner
at the Sunday concerts week after week
and year after year may Mt length have
chance OF hearing his masterpieces at
the French Academy Of Music.

EDITOR GLACIEE:
The GLACIER reaches this place
every week, and YOU may be sure it is
always welcome, and read with eager
ness. The editorial in the issue of
January 3lst, seemed only repeti-
ton of our own thoughts, and was
appreciated by us, only rs those can
appreciate who have drank in the pure
refreshing mountain mir, and joined in
the sports of hunting and fishing,
afforded by the wooded hills and the
pure clear streams flowing from hoary
Hood.
Thinking over the past good times
we have spent III the valley, we re-
ioice to know that in four short months
we will again shoulder our gun and
rod and spend delightful week or SO
in the heart Of the Cascades. Too
much credit can not be given to Hood
River as a summer resort, and it is evil
dent that it is fast becoming the popu-
lar resort and everywhere one can hear
inquiries in regard to its climate, and
the productiveness of its soil. In re-
gard to the winters they will compare
very favorably with the winters of the
Willamette valley. But for mud Hood
River is far behind. The mud here is
of an adhesive quality, so much SO
that it has been said, IA thief trying
to make his escape" in some time
past, "could not be tracked the mud
being so sticky that the tracks all
stuck to his feet" In this part of the
Willamette valley brisk thriving
business seems to be thing of the
past, and only old remnants remain as
mementoes of the days of 40.
