a Contrast,

An amusing story is told of old DR..
Emmons, clergyman who was equally
famed for the extreme neatness of his
person and for his carelessness in regard
to his establishment"
He started one day to Exchange" with
brother whose reputation was, so to
speak, the complement of his own. The
two divines met on the road, about half
way and stopped to indulge in a fra
ternal chat. DIR. Emmons horse looked
as if he had never known the touch of n
currycomb; the dust of bygone days
whitened his old chaise, and several
seedy haystalks dangled conspicuously
from the top and Sides
The old minister himself, however,
faultlessly neat from head to foot, was
shining figure in the dingy equipage.
Not single hair lay "agee" in the
glistening coat of the other minister's
steed, and the sunlight glistened on the
polished cover and wheels of his chaise
but his own person and dress had been
neglected In the language of today he
would be described as 'seedy."
Unaware of this fact, he gazed at DR..
Emmons' turnout with increasing disap-
prevail. AS he was about to drive on he
fired this parting shot at his FRIEND
Brother Emmons, should think you
would be ashamed of your horse"
"And l, my dear BROTHER" was the
quick response of DR.. Emmons, 'should
almost think your horse would be
ashamed of your
After which interchange of shots the
two old friends parted in perfect good
humor.-Youth's Companion.

The Northern Pacific Deals Justly
and Generously With EmplOyes.

Inc NOrtnern racine Deals Justly
and Generously With Employees.
The telegraph operators of the North
ern Pacific will receive substantial in
creases in their salaries commencing
from the first of the present month.
This is the result of conference that
has been going on at the Northern Pa
cific offices in this city for week past
between General Manager Mellen and a
Committee representing the men and
the order of railroad telegraphers. On
this committee were d. q. Ramsey, of
ton; j. S. Keeney, of Washington; q.
p. Dayton, Montana; E. NJ. Lakin,
Washington, and w. q. Hogg, Montana.
For over week these gentlemen
were in conference with the Northern
Pacific officials, but no decision was
reached until yesterday, when all the
requests of the telegraphers were
granted. By this the wages of the men
are raised S., SO, and in some cases SIS
per month. and in addition to this
schedule has been adopted by which
the operators will be paid for overtime.
Better than the increase in pay, how
ever, is the provision by which man
unjustly suspended is given right Of

finally the general manager. In case
he is reinstated such man will receive
full pay during the period he was laid
off. The members of the committee
left for their homes last evening, feel
ing very good over the result of their
labors. The increase in salaries will
amount to above $4,000 per month TO
the men. and shows the liberality and
wisdom of the Northern Pacific manage

You have no idea" said prominent
sporting goods dealer yesterday, "what
stimulus the New Orleans fistic car
nival has given to the trade in boxing
gloves. Each day during the past week
has brought with it an increased de-
mand, and up to date our business in
this line has increased fully SO per cent.
And noticeable feature about the inn
proved trade is the class of customers.
1t is mainly composed of what might be
termed our best young men linen of
high social standing and intellectual at
talnments. The revival is very salts
factory to US, as the class of goods de-
sired is of the best, and, of course, our
margin is cOrrespOndingly larger than
would result from an increased trade in
the cheaper lines. l look forward to Il
boom in the manly art of self-defense
among higher grade of young men
than has hitherto given the matter at
fact that such an excellent young man
as Jim COrbett is now champion of the
world"

ton, however. but it is necessary, for

ABOUT WOMEN.

Mrs. Sarah Nathan. the noble woman
whose home in London was always open
to MaZZini. and whose husband was one
of his warmeSt supporters. founded a
school in Trastevere in 1872, dedicated
to his memory. There are now nearly
two hundred children in it, and useful
occupations are taught as we'll as the
ordinary elementary subjects. AimlesS
ragged children are soon metamorDhosed
into industrious, happy children under
the wholesome influence here eXerled.
Miss Lawber, the mandolin player.
has lately formed string band for
ladies, called the "AmiSta." Itconsists
of one viOlinist and about nineteen
mandolinists and guitar players. These
ladies wear picturesque costume, and
attend garden parties or lat homes"
and also sing chOruSes. They meet
weekly at Halford House. Richmond,
Surrey, and also once week at Felt
ham. Miss Lawber is young sister OF
William Lawber. the well-known must
clan, and of Adolph Lawber. very
clever artist who died.
Miss Jane Marsh, who was trained in
the Edinburgh School of Medicine for
Women, has been elected by the COM
mittee of Lady Dutferin'S fund to pro-
coed to India as lady doc tor-in-waitimg
pending the falling vacant in that
country of substantial appointment.
There are now about sixty duly quail
fed ladies engaged in medical work in
India in connection with this fund, and
every day shows more clearly how
great the need is of extending to the
inmates of the Zenana the benefits of
modern medicine and surgery through
female agency.

shaped garments and OF learning now
to make them up. Girls who have just
