From HArpar's Bagaa-
Not a few Articles have been written 10 an

especially since by them the term good time"
Is very likely to be used literally. meaning Q
good time for Themselves aud for others.
More than half the girl students are prepar-

fined end in view. but this leaves a number.

The first class N well as the second. how
ever, can have "a good time" socially. and IL IL
be true that the busiest people are the happiest
and the happiest the busiest. then surely the
college girl of today has her full share Of occu-
patton and pleasure.
But she has on the whole no more occupation
than she can well manage and no more pleasure
than she deserves
Bryn Mawr Is the Leader Of the new move

From Frank Leslie's Weekly.
Sir Edwin Arnold said in one OF his books
that there are no words to swear with in the
japanese language, and that people cannot pos
sibly insult each other in that polite tongue.
an sure that the great English poet. who
has always been so kind 10 me. has never at
tended any political meetings in Japan, and IL
he ever docs 50 he will surely change his mind
as 10 the resources of the japanese language.
The fact is that Sir Edwin Arnold has learned
TO speak Japanese not from politicians. but
from the most lovely. charming and refined
japanese ladies. BE has never had an oppor-
tunity of writing political article in Japan
ese while he has written isl that language hun
dreds of delightful little poems. many Of which
are to be found on the fans OF pretty girls
Those pretty Japanese are the sweetest little
women in the world.
They certainly know nothing about swearing,
and | shall surprise American young ladies in
stating that girls over there have no slang"
But the politicians are not any more refined
than ours, and when they quarrel they the
fine words. Thar" dishonest mar" fraud"

Americans do when they are rampant.

Bayley and a jury in the Westminster county
court. Mr.. Shackieton Hallett was counsel for
the plaintiff and Mr. Stroud for the defendant.
James Thomas Paine.
In cross-examination Miss Parnell said that
even when she did get a bed she was too upset
to sleep, and she could not get anything to eat.
and as she had had nothing since 9 q. m. the
previous day she was famished. II was per-
fectly true that the room she engaged was
very small, and that the bed occupied almost all
the space. The landlady said she must be either
mad or drunk to have behaved as she did, bat
all abe did was TO protest against being turned
out. Before going 10 bed she managed to get a
piece of bread and butter and bottle of Hops
ale. tLaughterl.. The defendant appeared to
be under the control of his wife. Witness had
suffered with her heart since the occurrence.
The defendant told the cabman that she must
be either mad or drunk and Mrs. Paine said she
would be afraid to stop in the house with her.
Mr.. Stroud said the defendant was In no
sense the keeper Of an inn. because he neither
had license nor provided meals except break
fasts. 1t was simply boarding house.

ALEXANDRIA.
CLOSE OF The BUILDING SEASON

CLOSE OF THE BUILDING SEASON.
The building season here is about closing and
during the year some seventy houses have beer
built. There are a number yet incomplete and
some small ones are talked of to be put up this
winter if the season is open, otherwise they will
be postponed until spring. The auditor who
in respect to granting permits for buildings
inspector, grants permits for all new buildings
within the corporation lines, but the
town is very much larger than the
corporation limits. BY an act of the
legislature its bounds are extended for
police purposes TO Hunting creek on the south
north and west. The city regulations do not,
however, extend into this extra Alexandria.
No reports are made from it to the city officials
SO that the auditors building list does not show
all the houses erected in the city of Alexandria.
1t is thought that the years list of new build
this year the most prosperous it has had since
the war.

are all in place. The usual monthly summaries
Of the condition Of the schools will be presented
by the superintendent. and the schools viii go
into 1898 in an excellent condition.
