our City Council through two men,
bers of their Committee on License.
A petition to retail liquor, in part of
the city where license had not before
been granted by council, was referred
to said Committee, signed by only
eight persons, only two property
holders, one of the others known
inebriate and one whom the city has
had to help to support. A remon-
STRANGE against the license was sign
ed by fifty Of the best people in the
neighborhood, comprising nearly all
the property holders, wives and
mothers, who did not want a grog-
shop so close to their homes and loved
ones; still against this almost unani-
nous protest of the locality two of the
License Committee granted the Ii
cense. 1t is true that the people who
live in this locality are very poor,
but are they not entitled to the peace
and quiet they crave as much as any
part of our city? We think so, and
do hope the Council will not sustain
the action ola majority of their Lii

How Young Aristocrat Secured PlA-
belan Bride.
Walter Besant, the English novelist,
reports the Philadelphia Press, in note
recently received from him, says: 'Here
is a true story which does not belong to
my correspondence, but 7 think it Is
very interesting. I give it as it was
told me: A certain young Russian of
good family fell in love with village
girl, whom he wished to marry. His
father, objecting on the ground of
social disparity, made arrangements by
which the girl was betrothed to young
peasant of her own class.
"Now, it is the custom in some parts
of Russia for the bridegroom and his
friends to begin drinking early in the
day of the marriage, SO that when the
time comes for the church ceremony the
groom has often to be led to the altar
| and supported by a friend on either
hand. This happened on the morning
of the marriage of the girl. The bride
groom was led to the altar and sup
ported by two men, of whom one was
the young gentleman himself.

When the time came for joining hands
he put out his own hand, the groom be-
ing too far gone to notice anything, and
| so was joined in matrimony to the girl
The certificate of marriage had already
been written in the register before the
ceremony, a precaution obviously neces-
sary.
THE wedding over, the young noble
took the girl from her people at the
church door, drove her away, and took
her to Paris, where they lived together
in amity for several years.
'"Then the father died, and it became
\ necessary to return to Russia, and if
possible, for the sake of the children, to
get the marriage duly acknowledged.
| 'This business was intrusted to a
lawyer, who visited the village and saw
the register. He returned, stating that
1t was impossible, because the marriage
was entered in the books as between
the rustic and the girl. Being, how
ever, assured that something must be
done, he returned, got possession of the
| register, and clumsily erased the name
of the rustic bridegroom This done he
at this point you ask what he did,
and everybody says: FILLED in the other
name No, he didn't; he wrote again
over the erasure, the name of the vii
1age swain. He did not, therefore,
forge the record, but if his noble client
afterward found it desirable to assert

the erasure would be apparent

A BOYS. School in 1888.

Some weekly reports of pupil in
Columbia college grammar school in
1888 have fallen into the hands of a
writer for the New York Sun. The
school was in Murray street, near
Church street, and Charles Anthem,
jay professor of languages in the col
lege," was rector. He was noted for his
fondness for whipping the boys, turn
ing the performance into daily exer-
else before the entire school and crack
ing jokes between the strokes of his fer
rule. John McMullen and Henry Dris-
Ter were teachers there away back in
that time. A full course was twelve
dollars and fifty cents a quarter, with
one dollar extra for fuel and fifty cents
for stationery. At the bottom of each
report old DIR. Anthem added this in
quiry: ''The rector presents his compli-
ments and begs to be informed whether
the young gentleman is Industrious at
home"

HOW FISHES BREATHE.
They Find Sufficient Air in the Waite
for Their Needs.

They Find Sufficient Air in the Water
for Their Needs.
The severe frost of last winter froze
many rivers and lakes in England that
are usually open all the year round,
and gentleman who found small fish
dead wrote to Nature to ask: elbow is it
with the fish in countries like Siberia?
Do they desert those parts of the river
which are frozen over, or are the cur
rents more rapid, so as to transfer air
beneath the ice from unfrozen parts,
or, as in some glacier streams, are fish
altogether absent?"
Anyone who has caught fish through
ice three feet thick on Maine ponds will
understand that fish live very comfort
ably so long as any part of the pond re-
mains liquid. The waters of Siberia
are likely to be abundantly stocked
with fish, which will be found in the
best condition when their house is sealed
| with frost.
1t is not necessary to suppose that air
| is carried under the ice from open
places in the brooks. There is air
enough in the water at all times to an
swer the purposes of the fish. The
presence of the air is best discovered by
allowing water slowly to become warm
in a vessel of tin or iron. The air,
which is held in the water very much
as water is held in sponge, is expanded
by the heat, and may be seen gathering
| in small bubbles attached to the surface
of the vessel. This must be matter of
common observation.
It is this air which supplies the fishes
with breath. 1t may be thought by
| some persons that fishes breathe water,
| for the writer has heard this statement
made; but such a view is not correct.
The fish has no power to decompose wa
ter and get the needed oxygen from that
| source.
1 AS he is constituted he needs very
little air. He is furnished with but lit
tie blood, and this is sufficiently oxi-
died by coming in contact with air in
the water forced through his gills,
which are his breathing apparatus.
The effect of the air is seen when the
fish is taken from the water. The gills
suddenly redden. This is due to the
rapid oxidation of the blood. The fish
is killed by the excess of air. In the
water he gets only the proportion that
he needs. Altogether the fish must be
very comfortable under the ice during
our hard winter.

IcoPYRIGHT. 1891

Much having appeared in print from
time to time regarding wealthy soci-
ETY. widows of the eastern metropolis,
It may be interesting to note a few Of
those residing in the chief city of the
Pacific slope.
Among the most prominent is Mrs
George Hearst, who takes the lead in
counting her millions. She is the widow
of the United States senator who died
lately in Washington. Mrs. Hearst
was formerly Miss Apperson. She is
ever ready to befriend the helpless,
not only with kind words, but with
something more substantial. She acts
and feels as though her fortune was
given her for the purpose Of benefiting
others. and she is never so happy as
when she has n houseful of charming
young ladies to entertain. Mr.. William
Il. Hearst, her only son and only heir,
claims her entire devotion. Mrs.
Hearst is now in San Francisco, where
she will probably remain for the next

grandfather, Judge Hastings.
Mrs. Peter Donahue is another lady
who has been left in charge of millions,
and she has shown wonderful ability In
the management of her business affairs.
She is a devout member of the Catholic
church, and her purse is always open to
its demands. She was the second wife
of Mr.. Donahue, owner of the great
iron foundry-one of the originators
of the San Francisco Gas Company.
and for many years its president,
and n leading man generally In finan-
cial affairs. Mrs. Donahue has recently
returned from an extensive European
tour in company with her wealthy wild
owed sister, Mrs. Edward Martin. Mrs.
Donahue has not any children Of hel
own, but she has indeed proved a moth
er to those of her late husband. She Is
sister of Ex-Governor Downey, at one
lime governor of California, and is noted
for her generous hospitality. The lady
lives in the old homestead which occu-
pies half block in the southern por-
ton of the city.
Mrs. Edward Martin is one of those
good, kind women one is always glad
to meet. She too, is Catholic, and is
noted for her magnificent dressing. She
has recently abandoned her beautiful
residence on Suffer street and gone to
reside with her sister. Mrs. Martin is
the mother of two bright lads, who have
been sent to college.
Mrs. Mervyn Donahue, who was pref
ty Belle Wallace, is quite q young
| widow with two little children. She Is
the second daughter of Superior Judge
w. T. Wallace. Hers was a marriage
for loves sake, after five years of court
ship commencing when she was but
thirteen years of age. But the nuptia.
knot involved her IN a sea Of trouble
owing to the fast life led by her hus
band, who met an early death from &
