Country People Fade Early.

It is an observation of mine that
people ''grow old" in the country at a
much earlier age than in the city, says
amber" of the Chicago Herald.
They have no way OF forgetting them
selves and keeping the heart young.
Their life is a daily routine and it
grinds on in The same rut. The only
variety that is thrown in is the kind
and vivid interest taken in their pri-
vate affairs by their neighbccs. An
interest that has no tendency to lesseii
the lines OF care in the face nor fresh
en- up the heart. It is no use trying
to forget that years are slipping by, in
innocent amusement, because some
hind friend stands by to remind them
that they are getting too old for such
frivolity. and respect for the opinions
of those who lack the courage to do
the same thing, crowds them down
into the worn-out groove again.
A woman of forty-five in a country
town, is old. and settled into the place
carved out by others. In the city a
woman OF that age, passes for ten
years younger, and thoroughly enjoys
every minute of her life. She UNDER
stands that perfect health means
exercise Of the mind as we'll as the
body, and she interests herself in the
many things that have been neglected
in the years, when the children were
small and needed her attention. She
has made a study also OF presorv-
ing her good looks and making the
most of them.

Fish RooStS

Forest and Streams: Your correspon-
dent Isaac, Jr.,' describes how fishing
grounds were made in lake in Miss ouri
which he calls cropple roost. In Penn
sylvania there is lake containing black
bass and other fish, ALI the land surround
ing the lake is cultivated, and there no
streams flowing into or from it, being en-
tlrely spring water There is no refuge or
shelter Tor the fish and for some time ate
~ the fishing has been unsatisfactory; the
hsh could not be tound; they were appar-
emily scattered.
On one side ofthe lake there was clump
or small will VS., which during the winter
were cut off and thrown on the ice as the
easiest way of getting rid of them. When
the Ice broke I'D in the spring,
the wind carried the ice and
branches to the lower end of the lake,
where tn e latter were dropped on the bot
tom toge Their i'll one mass. about fifty feet
IN dlamet ter in about fifteen feet of water.
Inc Dra inches were soon covered with ami
malculR and spawn and they have made
the oest fishing grounds in the lake. A
dozen black bass were caught out of the
brush, while others near by not knowing
the reason were unable to get q fish.

The American Girl

Kate Fields Washington: The maid rs
of other lands have two distinct educati ms.
They are first given the training of the
jeunne file, which is essentially knowl-
edge of the world as it is not. This is sup
posed to last them until they are married,
or are definitely beyond any probability Of
matrimony, when they take their post
graduate course in life as it really is. If
lie lasted for thousand years, this ar
rangement would be little less wicked
and wasteful; but to take out of the brief
span Of three-score years and ten the time
tor two distinct educations, encourages
very little hope tor thoroughness in either.
With the American girl, however, all
this is changed. She does not suffer the
humiliation ofseeing literature the DRAMA
and even society itself in expurgated edi-
lions, carefully adapted to the purity-and
is not surrounded on every side by pleas
ures which she is forbidden to enjoy, or
:orced to live, move and have her being
wholly under the wing of chaperone. Her
delicacy and good sense are taken for
granted; and, before she is scarcely in her
all minor matters. taking up her response
billtles one at a time as she is able to bear
them, instead Of leaving them TO DE as
sumed in a bunch at the altar
The result Of this national method in
anything so negative can be called meth
cd, has been to produce singularly indi-
vidual and selfreliant sort Of young wom-
an, who is a refreshing satire VI pom all pre-
vious ideas of womanly excellence. She
has proved that she can be feminine with
out being ignorant, that she may be at the
same time charming and sensible, and that
to be virtuous she need not be fool. In a
vague way she is perfectly conscious that
she is an important factor in knotty socio-
logical problem, and takes daily delight in
proving that woman's field OF knowledge
and action is defined by her own abilities
and not by a set of arbitrary rules.
Now 1t happens sometimes that the very
quality which is the greatest charm of the
American girl becomes her chief reproach.
Her familiarity with the world and her
habit of managing her own affairs have
given rise to a sort of manner which her
admirers call ''poise' and assurance, !"
and her detractOrs are very likely to speak
OF as opinionated and staggering There
IS little unreasonableness here on both
sides. 1t is ridiculous for the world to ex-
pect from young woman brought up al
most exactly in the same way as her brother
the sort Of behavior which the last genera
ton called ''maidenly." II the modern
young woman succeeds in preserving the
Difference always becoming in the attitude
OF youth toward age, of experience toward
lncxperience, she may congratulate herself
upon having done her duty very fairly.

An Extraordinary Monomania,

An Extraordinary MOnOmanla.
Boston Journal.
An extraordinary case of mono
mania has been developed at Vienna.
A bakers assistant there has stolen
no less than 646 pocket handker-
chiefs, not for their value but be-
cause an irresistible longing to pos
sess them has prompted him to do
so. He never sold them, but used to
Garry some about with him constant
~. He was first punished in 1883,
when he was condemned to a fort
nights Imprisonment for stealing
tWenty-seven pocket handkerchiefs.
He was sentenced to the same pen
atty. three years later for similar
ofense but the police, instead of
banding him over to the jauer, sent
him to the hospital to have his men,
tai condition examined. The doc
tors declared him to be suffering
from acute monomania. He says
that when he sees lady's handker-
chief hanging out of her pocket he
IAN not help taking it.

Mr.. Donnelly replied that he wa, not 50
sure of this state OF things, and trusted q
committee would be appointed later to
look into the matter.
Mr.. Wood (Alliance) moved to recon
slider the resolution appointing snperin-
voted against such appointments under q
misconceptions. Mr.. Donnelly showed the
members the danger OF losing important
documents if the committee rooms were
LETT unattended in the absence Of commit
tees. By this time the hands OF the clock
indicated 1890, the hour at which the
special order of business was to be taken up,
on Mr.. Leavitts amendment, changing the
hour from p. In. Thursday to 1880 q. M.
on Friday.
John Day Smith OF Hennepin sent to the
secretary's desk q iull list OF the standing
committees as agreed upon by the Republi-
can caucus, and moved that every commit
tee should elect its own chairman. Upon
moving that the list OF committees as re-
ported be appointed -"
The house was called to order at 10
O'Clock, before the Republicans had quite
completed the business of their caucus.
The newly elected speaker mounted the ros-
trum exactly on time and proceeded as
calmly to business as though to the manor
born. The proceedings of the morning ses-
sion proved to be exceedingly dull, consist
ing of series of roll calls, which inevita-
bly, resulted in the Democratic
nominees receiving about two-thirds OF the
votes of the members. The Democrat and
Alliance candidates were the same as those
agreed upon at the caucus the previous
evening, and they were carried through
without a break.
A second motion was passed to the effect
thai the clerk OF the house officially inform
the senate that the house had been organ
ICED with the following officers:
Chief Clerk-P. J. Slnalley, Caledonia
First Assistant Clerk-Ed O'Brien, Hen
nepin.
Second Assistant Clerk-C. Il. Moody,

Assistant sergeant-at- Arms-E. E. Egan,

Chaplain-Rev. William Wilkinson, Hen

Before the committee appointed to notify
the governor departed on its errand, Mr.
Searle asked that the time for the house
meeting again alter adjournment be fixed
50 that the governor might be notified when
the house would be in readiness to hear the
message He therefore moved
journ until Tuesday next at o'clock in the
afternoon"
He thought the adoption of this ould
give the speaker ample time to prepare his
committees and aiu in expeditlng business.
The motion on the suggestion OF Mr.. Feig
was changed to read II o'clock" instead OF
3 clock.

He Got HIS Trunk.

he entered the s.1ost" baggage
room with a truculent air, says the
New York Tribune, and remarked
angrily:
''Now, I'm not going to wait any
longer for that trunk or come here
again to find it. My wife cannot
get along another day without her
sealskin sacque, so l shall go and
buy her another at once and you
must pay for it. Her diamond ear
rings, tool shall be unable to
match them, I am sure, at any cost,
and what can your dirty money do
toward restoring my fathers gold
medals awarded him for personal
acts of bravery on the fields of bat
tie? It's shame, sir, that the care
lessness of the employees of the road
has cost me so serious a loss, not to
mention the time I have spent in
running after you to demand my
trunk or its equivalent. Now when
will you settle up? Five hundred
dollars is the figure, and l will not
take one cent less!'' and his voice
rose almost to a scream as he stamp
ed on the floor in his Indignation.
"What did you say the number of
your check VAST" asked the imper-
turbable official.
you've asked me that, sir, at
least twice every time [ have called
here to demand my trunk" shouted
the aggrieved traveller. II should
think that you would get to remem-
Der it after awhile. 1t is 64O,616,
and don't you forget it!''
"We have no trunk with a CORES
ponding check on returned the
baggage-master, but there are a
number of boxes that were hauled
out of the wreck up the road last
night, in a slightly damaged con-
dition, that are coming in now.
Wait a minute, yours may be
among. them''
"No such good luck" growled the
injured man, but he turned and
scanned with some anxiety the load
of trunks being wheeled in.
"No. 94O,616!" shouted the bag
gage-master: as he hauled down the
battered box. ''Here you are, sir!
Sorry to say the lock has been
smashed off and the cover knocked
corner-ways. But I dare say the
sealskin, and diamonds and medals
are all safe," and he lifted the lid.
"Stop thatr' yelled the owner, as
he got red in the face. GLOW dare
you open my trunk, sir?"
But the baggage-master was too
quickfor hinl, and whisked off the top
of the contents soiled linen duster,
displaying underneath a pair of long
leather boots, some celluloid cuffs,
patent clothes-wringer, and bundle
of circulars expatiating on the vir-
tues of the latter. Onl y this and
nothing more
"Why, you lying began the
baggagemaster, as he turned on
the claimant, but the man was gone.
Next day a boy came with a check
for the trunk and carried it away on
his shoulder.

Senator Berry's EIopement,
Boston Traveller.

Boston Traveller. y
Senator Berry of Arkansas, who is
serving his second term, was a Door
boy and as ignorant as he was poor.
In young manhood he made an
earnest effort to rub off the rough
corners by hard study, and through
pluck and enterprise laid the foun-
dation of future prosperity. Hewas
forced to steal the woman he loved
through second-story window in
the night, but the father-in-law
would never let him enter his home
through all the years that he was a
teacher, lawyer, legislator and Judge,
but when he became governor of
Arkansas he wrote him as follows:
"My daughter was better Judge of
men than l.. Forgive me, and dur
ing your administration, whenever
you want to slip away from the cap
ital to enjoy brief respite from the
cares of state, I do not invite, but
beg you to make my country house
your home.'' s.r. -.

A Strange Duel.

''Do you see that tall man standing
there?" asked the colonel. ':Notice
how he brushes his hair forward on
the sides, as some Englishmen do.
One of these locks hides scar which
bears eloquent testimony to narrow
escape from DEATH"
''Ihirty years ago he was deputy
marshal in Nevada. He started out
one day to arrest gambler who had
killed a man over a game of cards.
The gambler knew that the marshal
was seeking him, but, with cool
effrontery, walked about the streets
all day. John-that is the deputy
marshal-heard that the man he want
ed was in a well-known bar-room. He
set out for the place, and carelessly
walked boldly into the room. He had
not crossed tho threshold when he
found himself looking into the barrels
OF a six-shooter.
"'Come, Hardy he said, sthis won t
do. I've come to get you. and I want
you
"'S See here, john said the gambler,
L don't want to kill you, but ! won t
let any man arrest me. Go away and
let me alone '.". ."... ..
"'No, Iwant YOU said the marshal,
quietly. Put down the six-shooter and
come with me.
"Tll see you shot first said
Hardy.
~ can't help that said the other
i must have you. Now, you have the
drop on me, but you must come with
me or kill me in cold blood.
4 don't want to kill you, said
Hardy.
Then put down your gun.
g John, won't be arrested. Don't
touch me. I don't want to shoot a
man without cause.
I've got to do it, Hardy.
/" See here, said the gambler, turn
ing white, If you move foot I'll kill
you, but hate to be coward. That
was fair and square last night We
both pulled together.
The marshal shook his head.
Tll do one thing, john" Hardy
went on. Tll back up to that wall.
You'll back up to the other. I'll draw
my revolver to my hip and you can
draw yours. Then it's the best man. ,
1.-The Marshal moved backward to
the wall and hardy did the same.
Then the Marshal drew his revolver
and held it at his side muzzle down.
All this time Hardy had kept his
weapon leveled at the Marshal Slow
ly his arm sank until his weapon
touched the seam OF his trousers.
''Both men were perfectly calm and
immovable, the Marshal determined
looking, the gambler still pale.
I" Now, john said Hardy. In.
stantly both weapons went up 1t was
all over so quickly that both mon went
on the floor together. But Hardy had
fred too soon. His bal! went at an
upward angle and grazed the Mar
shal's temple, but the Marshal had
sent his bullet straight into Hardy's
heart and there was no need to arrest
the gambler. "-Anaconda Standard.
