A II 900 MILE RACE was commenced on Feb 8.
On that day two large British ships, the Scot
fish Glen and the Marian Ballentyne left Asto-
ria, Ore. bound for Antwerp. Belgium, around
Cape Horn. Every preparation was made by
the respective captains for a race to that dis
tant port, and considerable money was bet on
the result
There were five or six state senators at the
Hotel Metropoe, New York. recently who were
accompanied by their wives. They wanted to
20 to the krion ball So did their wives. They
wanted to go alone, and go alone hey did, much
to the disgust of tn cir better halves. But the
women got even with them. The senators had
put on dress suits for tue occasion. 1t was or
Z O'Clock on Saturday morning before they re-
turned to the hotel, weary with the round of
sightseeing. Every one of them found that his
wife nad locked her door against him. 1t was
some time before the fact dawned upon them
by a comparison of notes thatt was conspra-
cy TO punish them. Guests of the hotel were
tonished as late as 10 o'clock Saturday morning
to see gentlemen sitting around in dress suits,
IL was shortly after this hour hat the wives re-
Tented and sent down to their hsge lords their
everyday clothes, which the gentlemen went
Downstairs TO the porter's room to don in place
or their bfoadcloth. They do not like to hear
anything said ABOUT the Arion ball.
NoRRIsTowN, N. J., is just now thoroughly
agitated overa school scandal, which seems to
have for It's foundation only the pratrle Of 49,
year-old girl who is one of the pupils of the
Cherry street sclool. A few weeks ago il be-
came noised about the streets that Prof. jerry
March, who is the music teacher at the schools
and a married man, had appeared at the Cherry
| street school week ago Friday Afternoon, after
| an absence from the city of several weeks, and
atser cordial greeting to the pupils, had
| turned and kissed most lovingly each of the
| four teachers. The teachers, who rumor has
| 1t, were recipients of this oscuatory proof of
Prof Marcus affections MISS Julia Naile.
| principal of the school; Miss Maggie Faulkner.
Miss Ella Slingluff and Mrs. Rachel n. Ramsey,
| all remarkably pretty young ladies. The story
goes that none of the teachers resented this IN
warranted liberty on the part of Prof. March.
and that the assembled pupils hung their heads.

In the warerooms of a carriage manufacturer
in New York were three very odd turnouts One
was built after the pattern furnished by pict
| ure of famous French Dobleman driving from
| his chateau to Paris. IL had heavy, steel
| colored, unvarnished body, with a place in the
! back for the footmen and a sword case for the
| weapons that might at any time be needed to
| ward off attacks from bold highwaylnen Turk
| ing in the woods along the road. The springs
| were heavy and substantial. Another odd affair
was low, avy, ugly sled The third was
| a fairylik sleigh with the figure of lion for
| ward and o suggestion OF unsteadiRess and un
| substantially il the general makeup. Yes,
those are all for sale, the manager said, land,
| what is more they will be sold and used IN THIS
| very city Certain persons are always demand
| ing novelties in turnouts, and there is nothing
| too garish for them. They can always be picked
out In the park and 90 the road. The coach you
see IS known as a cnariot DOrsay, and is named
| after the French nobleman who used one like 1t.
| The ugly sleigh is a Canadian tub sleigh, and
the other is fancy stolen from the Russian
| types None Of these is at all useful or COM
Portable, but as long as they sell we cannot stop

The most astonishing thing. says the New
| York Tribune, to be noted in connection with
the Chinese legation in Washington is the fact
that the wife of the present minister encour
aged by the license allowed to the wife of the
Japanese representative, has taken to going
| out on the street alone, or accompanied only by
| a maid She does not sea any ladies who call
and is not permitted to accept any invitations
| But her going on the street bareheaded to walk
| about as she will is a great limo vation. 1t is
possible that she will insist going to parties
and receptions before she has finished Some
days when she goes out it Is ssary to call the
police to protect her from the two curious crowds
who follow her as she walks along mncing
upon her tiny feet. She is further encourage
| in her attempt to obtain Freedom by the Corean
|
seen now at nearly every official reception. She
looks much like great Japanese doll She
| always wears a little snort-waisted straight slip
Of dress made of pink silk The shape OF
this dress makes the illusion of the doll com
pIete. The wives of the orientals wear such a
look of satisfied content when they are OUT that
it is certain that they will not bear with patience
any restrictions in the future. What will be
the effect upon their sisters, when they go back
| and tell of the freedom they have enjoyed free
| from harm in America?

seem to reason as if they were gifted by nature

We once very nearly lost almost perfect
spaniel through this misplaced confidence We
saw him put into a good bed after long days
partri ige shooting, and consented to believe
that he would be equally well cared for in al
other respects. AT the end Of the frst day
shooting, d very wet day, ne could hardly craw
home, and we had to lift him over the stone
walls. Still, we had no suspicion of the truth
He went to bed and next morning was evil
IDENTIFY very ill. We tried him with meat, milk
warm and cold. but he could touch nothing
and lay carled round iu q corner and
shivering. We found, on inquiry, that
owing to some feud among the servants,
the boy to whose care he had been specially
intrusted had been unable to get him any din
ner, and three nights running, after hard
days work, he had had nothing but q few
scraps of bread. This, OF course, SO weakened
| him that he was quite unable to stand out
| against the cold and wet, caught a violent chill
aud would certainly have died had we gone
GA leaving him to servants We got him round
| again, with good deal of care, but that was 9
lesson to us, and we hope it may be a lesson t.
