The Venetian youths, like their cousins in Rome, are fond of dogs, and the uglie1 and more forbidding the dog so much the more it seems to be admired. This has very odd result. The gentlemen wear their boots long in the sole and curved upward, a mode which does not improve their personal appearance. When very exquisite indeed, they further attire themselves in tall silk hats, lemon colored kid gloves and collars that rise almost to their lips. Then, with dap per cane and poodle shaven so brutally clean that no lock of wool is left upon it, save at the tip of its tail, the gentle man considers himself completed fo1 promenade.
 Up and down he goes, lowing zeal ously to the right hand and the left, ever and anon stopping to caress the tips of the fingers of lady, and ever and anon pausing to unwind the chain of his poodle from his elegant legs He is an expert at explosives; but the poodle is used to them, and bears without one whine of objection all the abuse it ar. cates the Year Round

A pRUMMER'S DIPLOMACY.
How He Got Even at the Expense of the
 Others

How He Got Even at the Expense of the
 Others
 He was a travelling salesman, and was telling his fellow employees about the trouble at the club
 'I think he will be admitted to with draw" he said.
 Permitted, you mean," corrected the blond clerk, who wore side whiskers, a blue tie and general air of superiority.
 "Yes that's what I should have said. Mistake in speaking" the drummer an swered, but he blushed and looked con fused, and there was an evil gleam in his eye when he changed the subject and said: Seems more like spring this morning. Got awful warm walking down town. Haven't trans pired so for long time"
 "Transpiredp' repeated the smart clerk with the blue tie. There's another word! Not very familiar with the language, are you?'
 "Yes, that's what I said. Transpire-to emit through the pores; to exhale. Per haps if I said that sweat freely you would understand better?" and the drummer glared fiercely at the blond clerk.
 "Ah, hal But allow me to explain, my dear friend, that transpire does not mean to exhale. You're a little rattled, that's all, suavely replied'rhe blond young man, as he wlnked at the express clerk
 "Bet you five dollars it does"
 "Oh, just to convince you of your mis- take, I will take that bet. You will let Webster decide it, I suppose?"
 Certainly. There's the cash. Now cover it and bring on your die" The bystand. CTS grinned. He is thinking of perspire, of course," whispered one. You don't make us that offer, do you" he asked.
 "Oh, you want to be in it, do you?" snapped the travelling man. "AI right, Pm with you, as many as choose. Come now, put up or shut up."
 The drummer's words and the sight of the roll of bills he flashed overcame all scruples they may have had at betting on a sure thing and another wad of bills was thrust into the stakeholder's hands.
 A dictionary was produced and the deini tion read
 "Weu, Ill be hangedp'. groaned the chorus ''I never heard that before"
 The drummer pocketed his winnings, and as he bowed himself out he chanted: Tn the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread Good morning, gentlemen. "-Bos- Tor, Harold

Mehaly's Recommendation.

In one of the loveliest counties of old Vir ginia there still stands stately mansion that was in days gone by the show place of all that section. The imposing park ot mighty oaks, graceful lindens and gener- ous, low speading beeches was fit setting for the big house, with it's white columns reared from basement to roof. The quaint furniture and the rare crystal and princely plate were spoken of near and far. Every floor, every window seat and every table ot this house was waxed.
 Every morning an army of nimble kneed young negresses fell upon these floors and rubbed and polished until each board fair ly shone and glistened with the amber wax.
 The war came on. The army of negroes was scattered from the old quarter. They spread throughout the state, and it was thought rare fortune to get hold of one of Mrs. C-'s we'll trained servants.
 One day one of these servants applied to Mrs. B., of Richmond, for situation. It was Mehaly, hoity -toity girl, but not without her following in the old quarter.
 ''Can you cook?" asked Mrs. B..
 Cook? No. m. Ole miss cooks wa Cinthy an Minervy an Luce an Judy an Arrah and Rachel an Polly"
 "Can you do housework" queried Mrs. B., with interest.
 "No, m. Can't do housewuk. Oar wa Jimmy an Becky an Sa' Jane an Liz an Rose an Dinah an Salomy an Nancy to do de housewuk."
 "Wel, maybe you could do laundry work ?"
 "No, m, don't know muffin bout washin nor ir'nin. Karline an Matildy an Sooky and Henrietta an Lydia did de washfn an de ir'nin."
 "Then you can nurse?" persisted Mrs B..
 "Nebber nussed in my life. Oar wal Judy an Seely an Pheeny an Penelope an Venus an old Bet to nuss."
 What did you dor" asked Mrs. B. in dismay.
 Well" replied Mehaly, as a rare smile broke over her dark countenance, 'I mostly hunted up ole miss specs. s."-Harper's Ba- gar.

WHY WOMEN HAVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR

Women have been ridiculed by
men on account of the absurd little
bonnets they wear, and the gentle
creatures have patiently endured the
criticism because they knew the bon
nets were becoming. But now it
appears that the wealth of lovely
hair which the crownless bonnet re-
veals is really the result in many
cases of the very lightness and in
efficiency of protection the tiny COW
ering provides. Ar and sunshine
are really the ! It promoters OF
growth and beaut IF coloring in the
hair, and If men would wear crown
less or perforated hat instead of shut
ting the hair up in an unventilated
tunnel every time they go into the
air, there would be fewer bald pates
in the front rows. Revenge is sweet
Artists tell us that women's hair Is
growing more beautiful in texture
and color while every one knows a
man past 40 without a bald spot Is
rare.

--LATEST m SHOES AND STOCKINGS.

Shoes and stockings must match
this year. Black stockings are, of
course, always in good taste, but even
dressers who are not extreme carry
their tan and suede low shoes when
they go TO buy stockings. There
are a great variety of shades in
browns and tans, i'll silk, fine cotton
and Isle, so that every imaginable
color in shoes may be matched. The
inSteps and aakles are embroidered
in stripes and small figures, and
among these bow knots are popular.
Prussian blue stockings, in three or
four tones, are also to be had with
shoes and slippers to match, and they
do not after the first glance look any
more pronounced than the tans. Rel
brick reds a favorite color, and
the shoes to 90 with the set are either
plain and unrelieved or done with a
foxiug and heels of black patent
leather. OF course gray and tan are
the only colors that can be
worn in town. The country
or seashore permit of any hue de-
sired, and the more bizarre the better,
either they match the prevailing tint
of the costume or contrast. Some
times the gloves, shoes and stockings
are alike and of different color
from the rest of the costume. This
is thought very effective.

PECULIAR" GIRLS.

The craze "to be popular" which
just now obtains among young wo-
men, and which is outwardly indicat-
ed by mannish hats and waistcoats,
startling combinations of colors and
affected habits of conversation, is a
vulgarity that is disgusting to sensible
people and should be trowned upon
by society.
If one cannot be peculiarly pleas
ant, entertaining, sensible and good
hearted, by all means let them re-
nam upon level with the rest of
the world, and not advertise their
desire to "create a sensation" by alb
surd dress or carriage.
Anglomania is perhaps responsible
for much that is extraordinary in
American. society, but like savages
when they come in contact with civ
ilization, we have tendency to alb
sorb what is evil in English manners
and reject the good.
These misses in their clinging
skirts and masculine bodices are
weak imitation of the "tailor made"
English girl, but their gaucherie vul-
garity and londness remind one more
of chambermaids out for holiday
than of the young ladies they are
aping.
Follow these young women into
stores and shops and you will be as
tonished at the freedom with which
they gossip with the male clerks and
the rudeness they offer to those of
their own sex behind the counters.
1t is they who give rise to all the
newspaper slurs and jokes upon shop
ping, who talk in perfectly audible
voice at the play or concert, and who
giggle in church and fiirt on the
street.
To put the matter frankly, they
are not ladies, for whether or not
manners make the man, they certain
ly do make the woman, and the most
priggish, prudent and pedantic maid
ell that ever wore spectacles and
talked learnedly of Browning, Spen-
Ger and Darwin is preferable to this
travesty upon American womanhood
that may be seen every day i'll the
week upon the streets of our cities
and towns.-Good Form.
