Really Quite Mereiful.

1t was in the New York Central depot.
A well dressed lady with her Little Lord
Fauntleroy son approached the door
leading to an outgoing train. Both were
laden with bundles. A railroad official
stood by the door.
"Open the door or I'll punch your
head" exclaimed Fauntleroy in very
swagger voice, and the official, amused
by the -year-old's audacity, consented
to become doorkeeper for the occasion
and complied.
The mother showed that she was angry
as she swept through the door, and as 1t
closed she seized Fauntleroy by the
shoulders and shook him severely.
AREN'T you ashamed of YOURSELF" she
asked; "to be 80 impolite to the gentle
man."
"She, mamma" replied Fauntleroy,

Fighting Fashionable Dre.smnl.er

In reference to obstinaey in dress
makers for carrying out ideas had an
amusing experience. My sisters stay in
Paris was too short for my dressmaker
to undertake all she wanted made For
the best things we went to big dress-
maker, whose importance lies in great
pretensions. Among the things ordered
there was one for which l wanted my
own way. The woman exclaimed: ,But
that is not practical. You women have
ideas, but they can't be carried out
'sWeA, Il it cannot be carried out | will
be responsible for spoilt cloth If there be
any" l knew she opposed it because
the idea was not her own, and that it did
not go to swell the bill with yards of
lace, feathers, furs, passementerie, etc.
She consented Mt last; the dress was II
great success. A few weeks after had
occasion to call ON the dressmaker, and
what was my surprise to find several
dresses in the showroom with my idea
very practically carried out, and what
was my greater surprise, when the wom-
an came in, to find she was wearing my
idea practically demonstrated ON her
own back,--Brooklyn Eagle.

An Incident of METROPOLITAN Life.

Down on South Broadway, standing
beside stairway which leads up stairs
to the Office of an electro medical COM
pany, there stands little glass case in
which Is displayed the life size figure OF
human leg from the thigh down.
The other day two very well dressed
young men were standing in front of
the case. Two or three other people
were staring over their shoulders to see
what it was made the noise.
Finally one young man said to the
other very solemnly:
"In FIVE minutes that leg will begin
to move"
His companion looked at him very
wisely, pursed his lips and nodded his
head. Then they both walked away.
The other people stood in front Of the
case for half an hour waiting for the leg
to move. Suddenly thought seemed to
strike one Of them. Then the same
thought occurred to another member of
the group, and SO, one by one, they ST.
lently stole away.-New York World.

Tree toads are in big demand by young
doctors and chemists, who are anxious
to learn something of the circulation of
the blood. The tree toad has legs that
are almost transparent. The young doc

made of tanned pigskin), the girth or

What Cleanliness Really Is.

What Is needed is not that place
shall merely look clean, but that some
thing shall be used that will purify it.
so that 1t shall be to some extent scien-
tifically clean. This means that it shall
be purified from microscopic germs as
far as possible, which simple soap and
water will not reach.-New York Trib-

MY SAILOR LOVER.

My ship Is late
That brings my sailor lover.
watch the sails as they go by
But dimly outlined 'gainst the sky,
But none brings back my lover.
To me alone
The waves low moan
Tells of my sailor lover.
Years have l watched, but all in vain;
Oh, shall see on earth again
My long lost sailor lover2
With weary beat
The waves repeat,
Gone is thy sailor lover"
They tell to me in monotone,
OF sorrows that are rarely known
Tell of my long lost lover.
Ere life's sad day
Shall pass away
Bring back, o sea, my lover.
Der mountain, hill aud winding stream
l see the suns last, fading beam
Thus shall my soul pass over
The Styglan river,
Gone, gone forever
To meet my long lost lover;
But still watch, but watch In vain,
While ut my heart grows keen the pain,
For my departed lover.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 12.-Advices re-
ceived from ShauehaI today BY steamer
state that the leader of the Kolao Hui,
a secret society which has been instru
mental IN causing an uprising in Hanau,
was captured recently in Soochow and
taken to Shanghai. discriminating papers
were found on his person. He has been
examined three times. but refuses to make
any disclosures even under torture. The
officials are now pursuing another method,
fasting him and plying him with liquor,
under hopes that he will drop some 10
formation, but thus far the method is
without success.
British officials have determined that
Mason, a customs official who made an at
tempt to smugele arms into China and put
himself forward as a possible leader, was
actuated by a desire for notoriety and that
the affair had no real political significance.
Notwithstanding, the v~iceroy, Ii Hung
Chang, appears to be in a cheerful state
of mind concerning internal affairs. The
general feeling is one of insecurity and it
is stated that the viceroy of Marking has
advised the British consul at Chinkiang to
remove European women and children.

New ORLEANS, La, Nov. I2.-The
Bankers convention, which has been in
session here for the past several days,
held another enthusiastic meeting today.
At the conclusion of st. Johns p
John Jay Knox took the floor and said he
fully agreed with st. John in some OF his
remarks. After citing certain facts and
giving figures, he said some time ago the
Mexican dollar was to be found in nearly
every bank in this country, but today
where were these coins. They had been
sent back to Mexico in payment for goods,
being accepted at face value, less tie
transportation to Mexico.
Why was this2 Because the Mexicans
have the advantage Of free coinage. We
have a dollar which cannot be accepted
in Mexico for its face value. And yet
this country has a credit which is I'M
surpassed by any IN the world. St. John
replied it was wrong to compare the
United States with Mexico because all Of
the %latter's products were beneath the
soil and though she need not coin a cent.
all her gold and silver would naturally go
awav from her, while in the United States
all her products were above the ground
Johnston, OF Birmingham, expressed
satisfaction with st. Johns stand in
favor of a fair currency. He said it was
a race between white metal and colored
metal and he did not want to see colored
metal put ahead of white metal. He
announced himself in favor of reciprocity
and against artificial laws which admitted
M product and excluded another.
William G. Cornwell of Buffalo, read a
paper on Canadian Bank Note Circu.
l%ation," contrasting their system with
ours. The Canadian system, he says, Is
one of the best in the world. 1t gives
Canada a circulating medium fully meet
ing all the requirements. both as tc
elasticity and safety. No bank can issue
notes with less than $3.50, 900 paid up
capital; the notes are first lien upon all
assets Of the bank; the stockholders axe
doubly liable and there is, in addition, a
guarantee fund contributed to by all
banks. In brief. every dollar of Canadian
bank notes has over SO on an average and
IS at the lowest, in security back of it.

NJ. Nelson of Selma, Ala, was elected
president of the ASSOCIATION. and John Jay
Knox, first vice-president. After the
usual resolutions, the convention ad-

BRUSH Envy ResponsibIe.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-The bureau
oil American republic has, from semi
official sources, information in regard to
the present condition of affairs in Brazil,
to the effect that telegraphic and other
Jews coming from or via London is often
entirely false and generally dis
torted or msgnifed. British jealousy
OF the increasing influence Of the United
States in Brazil and the fear of losing
commercial supremacy in that country.
are the motives which inspire false and
alarming dispatches concerning the polltI-
cal disturbances in Brazil.
The situation at Rio Grande Do Sui, is
peculiar, party feeling having been
warmly aroused between the Republicans
on the one hand and the adherants of the
Liberal party, partisans of the deposed
leader, Slveria Martins, on the other.
About one third of the population of that
state is OF German descent and a gentle
man thoroughly acquainted with them
says among them the national feeling is
much stronger than state attachment.
therefore, he thinks no secession move
ment can be permanently successful in
that state. There is a tendency among
the smaller states to merge themselves
with their larger seighbors and the clause
OF the new constitution provides for such
action.
