A young English woman was sent to
France to be educated in Huguenot
school I'm Paris. A few evenings before
the fatal massacre OF st. Bartholomew
day she and some Of her young COM
panions were taking a walk in a quiet
part OF the town where there were SEN
tinels placed. One OF the soldiers, as the
young ladies passed him, besought them
to have the charity to bring him q little
water, adding that he was very i'll, and
that IL would be as much as his life was
worth to leave his post and go and fetch
IL himself. The ladies walked on much
offended at the man for presuming TO
speak to them at all, but the young En-
glishwoman, whose compassion was
moved, leaving her party, procured some
water and brought IL to the soldier. He
begged her TO tell him her name and place
of abode, and this she did.
Some OF her companions blamed and
others ridiculed her attention to COM
mon soldier, but they soon had reason to
lament that they had not been equally
compassionate; for the soldier contrived
on the night OF the massacre to save the
Englishwoman, while the others In the
house were killed.-Irish Times.

The Queer Ainus or Japan.

The Ainu are the hairy aborigines OF
Japan, and colonies or tribes of this peo-
pie still exist, much as do the Indian
tribes here, but in q more civilized state
The Ainu women are in state OF becom-
ing subjection to their men. When an
Ainu woman appears before man she
drops her eyes, takes of her headdress
and hangs it on her arm; then she pushes
back her hair and puts her hand over her
mouth. II she sees that he will deign to
notice her she makes number of curious
and elaborate gestures to indicate her
humiliation, and then serves him in
whatever way he may desire. Until old age
the Ainu woman is the newer OF wood
and drawer of water. She is then released
from service and spends the remnant
OF her years In cursing. Her power hence
forth is absolute. The bravest warrior or
hunter of wild beasts will fly in terror
before the curse Of an old woman. These
aged women, however, are confined to
certein cursing areas. The boundaries OF
these are defined, and when of OF her
base the curse would not count any more
than an error in base ball or the ukase of
the Gar In Germany. This profession-for
as such IL seems TO be recognized among
the Ainus--appears to be in response to a
rude sense of justice on the part of these
people. Having served in patience and
humility all their days, women when
they become toothless are allowed to free
their minds of all their accumulated
wrongs and sufferings.-N. Y. Evening

The Kniehts Of Honor.

The Knights of Honor are holding forth
down the bay to-day. All the morning
members from various parts of the city
and State kept coming, aud the objective
point of all seemed to be the Continental
Steamboat Company's wharf.
This is their fourth annual field day,
and the members OF the order, their
wives, children and friends are all out
for good time.
The affair Is an entirely free and easy
one and they go where they please. The
one main point was to get to Silver Spring
at o'clock. This was OF the utmost i'm
portance for dinner was to be served
and every body realized what a Silver
Spring shore dinner meant.
All the morning the grounds at this
popular shore RESORT were crowded with
the assembling Knights and all were en-
joying themselves. Some played quoits,
some jumped, tossed baseball aud in
dulged in various kindred sports In order
to better sharpen their appetitcs for
dinner.
Most of them sat around after dinner
enjoying the breezes and digesting their
dinners until o'clock. At this hour the
steamer for Rocky Point was taken, and
the entire party enjoyed sail to that re-
sort. There some disembarked aud
strolled about for time before returning
to the city, while others remained on
the boat and came back after having
spent most delightful day.
The committee under whose guidance
everything ran so smoothly was: Charles
/. Gardiner, A. j. Goodwin and .. A.
Carlton.

stop all this by not allowing any but ap-

keep it empty until it was and where
even a small job was done the plumber
would have to submit IL to him."

Yes. it is; and it would all be good IL

Senator Stanford has taken lately to
exercising by walking up and down the
block on Connecticut avenue. On one OF
the last walks he took before sailing for
Europe he met poor man whom he had
helped freely on former occasions. The
senator stopped Tom and asked him how
he was getting along.
"Pretty well, Mr.. Stanford" replied
Tom, 9" but 1t is mighty hard work; we
just manage to keep out Of the poor
house."
"How many children have you got
now, Tomf"
"Ten, sir, think" said Tom.
az tell you what, Tom," responded the
senator, "you give me one OF the ten to
bring up and I'll give you q railroad in
exchange" Tom looked delighted for a
minute, then scratched his head with q
puzzled air.
"well," prompted the senator, "what
do you say to that?"
Tom looked embarrassed, but stam-
mered out: "Well, now, don't want to
be disobliging, Mr.. Stanford, but while
you might know what to do with baby,
I was thinking that l wouldn't know
what to do with railroad when I got it."
The senator thought Tom was one OF
the wisest men he had met for some time,
