PRACTICAL WOMAN,S RIGHTS.
A Lesson in Street Car etiquette Taught by a Boston Girl.
 

From the Boston Herald
 It was bstween six and seven o'clock in the evening and the Fremont street car was crowded. A good many of the pas sengers were workingmen, and those who were fortunate enough to have a seat, even if 1t was 6 very narrow one, seemed to lose half the pleasure of 1t in watching the door every time the car stopped. IL reached Eliot street, however, without au invasion of the fair sex. Then five or six of them got on board. The majority of the newcomers were young and pretty, and of that type who seem to make a spe- cial study of the best methods for making the male patrons of street cars feel un- easy. if they happen to be sitting.
 One of the arrivals, however, was motherly looking woman, whose every feature indicated that she had "a will of her own" She might have been taken, at first sight, for prominent member of womsn's rights society, but those who formed this opinion of her when che en tered the car felt ashamed of themselves few minutes later.
 Several of the young girls had selected the seats they meant to have when they had ogled their present occupants out of them, and one young man with a careworn look, who knew he was victim, but did not want to give up the battle, decided to compromise rather than acknowledge his defeat. He got up and offered his seat to the motherly-look woman.
 Instead of quietly dropping into the va canoy, as is usual in such cases, the wo- man turned and said:
 oir T ra1l ah1 to stand as you are; you had better keep your seat" Then, warming up to the subject, she continued: "I cannot under stand this nonsense of giving up every thing to women, as if they were poor, weak creatures, unable to stand. Here is a car full of men who have been working hard all day and want 8 rest on their way home, but they are supposed to give up their seats to lot of young girls who have nothing to do but ssunter through the stores all day long. and have not foresight enough to 90 home before the cars become crowded. I think it simply ridiculous It is good while since I have been on a street car at this time of the day, and I propose, SO far ss am concerned, to leave the seats to those who have the best right to them"
 The young man looked confused. a num- Der of the older msn shook their head sp- provingly, others looked on In wonder, and the girls for whose benefit the ress marks were apparently made seemed un- deci led whether to gigQle or pout. They cas. longing glsnces at the vacant seat, but not one of them had the courage to drop into it.
 The car stopped; young woman got on board. She looked st the deep red cueh- ion, then ct the girls who were hanging on the straps, and seemed unable to under stand it. A smile went around the car, and for several blocks there was a vacant seat in & crowded electric.

paletots are being much worn. They are quite distinct from ''ulsters," being made of fine cloth, fastened up one side and trimmed right around and up the fasten- ing with narrow band of fur, the turn down collar and deep cuffs being also of fur. Occasionally the psletot is fur-lined throughout, being thereby rendered water proof, though when the fur lining is dis pensrd with the cloth can be waterproofed before making up. Very dressy paletots have sleeves of -hot or plain velvet, these invariably being large in the upper part and gradually decreasing to the wrist. I have seen few long coats made entirely "f velvet, a most extravagant material for this purpose, as it shows every crease and very soon becomes rusty.
 Coming to jackets. the only rule to which jacket need conform is that 1t must be at lea t sixteen inches long in ihe basque This law, like that of the Medes and P-rsians, is unsltersble It is not, however, easy to lengthen 8 jacket when too short I would suggest that the old jacket be worn out on stormy days, and the money that was to be devoted to the alteration be kept towards buying material for making 8 new coat.

BUZZARDs AND SNAKES.
A Fight 10 the Death Between Six
 Buzzards and a BIacksnake.

Fight 10 tho Death Between Six
 Buzzards and a BIacksnake.
 From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
 "I once observed" said Lsmsrtine Gib- SOD, ss he looked down on Sixth street from the Lsclede psrlor, "whst was to me new and interesting sight-that of a half dozen buzzards killing snake. It was years ago, when lived ss a boy down on farm near Sheboull, III. I was al- ways more interested in the besutfes of nature than in the humdrum labor of farm life 1 WAS always longing to get away from the silent fields and go to great city where people were plenty and where boy could make fortune. Sometimes now long to be a barefoot boy, again following father up and down the furrows of the field ss he plowed. One June mornipg sat on a rail fence under a walnut tree, overlooking field of growing wheat, when observed high in the air two or three buZz.rds sailing about, just as lazy and delightfally smooth as one could i'm agine, and around and around in a circl-. It was not long until several more arrived, and then l counted half dozen. They drew nearer from over & patch of woods and dropped near the ground in the next field. Here they circl-d about, ever- now | and then swooping close to the earth, and all at once one arose with & great black wriggling cord that I at once imagined must be a snake. Tie buzzsrd dropped the snake from about fifteen feet up atd then dropped right after 1t and brought it up again. 1 jumped from the fence and Tan across the field, over near where the battIe-somewhst lopsidedJy-wss pro- Rressing. The half dozen buzzsrds were close together, taking turn about at the | snske. carrying 1t slott and then dropping l 1t with deadly thud I thought at the | time that a snake could not stand many falls like that, and so I grabbed 6 stick ! and ran near to where 1t last fell My sp- proach scsred them away. Oae bird, how ever, made a swoop and gathered the snake | by the back, but the bzsk grip Was not strong enough and the serpent fell to the ground. I reached there before the bird could swoop again and stood guard over | the remains The snake was stunned to death. It was considerably torn-a great long blaoksnake fully five feet In length and one and half inches in thickness ] added a few blows with my club for assur- snce sake and then walked away to see if the buzzsrds would return They had ss- cended high into the air, but they w-re still over the spot, cifcling about, awaiting my departure. 1 drew of and sat down | by the fencs Then they came down. One seized the reptile and sailed away, closely followed by the other five. It was a battle of birds then. and fn the sorim- mage the reptile was frequently dropped. The contest continued far over the fields | and out of my vision. I have often wondered stnce whether the prey was l equally divided"

 The municipal debt of New York city is $155, 100000. The amount of the sinking | fund and deposits on the debt account
 make the net debt $99. 1000, 900. A large | amount of bonds have been retired during
 the past year, but s1o,oOO. 900 of new | bonds have been issued for the cost of | school buildings, armories, bridges and new parks, SO that the total debt is S1,- 00O, ,000 greater than it was year ago. The interest charged is enormous, as a
 large proportion of the bonded debt was
 contracted at the close of the Tweed re- gime, when the credit of the city was so
 poor that and per cent. bonds sold at less than par. The entire debt could be refunded now at 2t per cent. interest. The high priced bonds have ten and fifteen years yet to run.
 A serious famine prevails in Finland, and advices from several sources state that @ large proportion of the inhabitants of tion. Two hundred thousand persons of total population of 9, 2,000, ,000 are entirely destitute, and before the winter ends it Is expected that one fourth of the whole number of inhabitants will bs in similar sad plight. The Films have hard work to make living at the best of times. because of the poor soil and rigorous climate. Last summer the potato and rye crops were either destroyed or seriously damaged by constant night frosts in July, August and September. Many districts known to be in great distress are now isolated by snow and fcs, and in others the inhabitants are existing on bread composed largely or wholly of birch bark. The Finnish senate has voted several million marks for the re- lief of the sufferers, and government committee is trying 10 cope with the dis trese, but it is said further help Is urgently needed by the people.
 General Butler had big funeral, aud genuine one too. In Lowell he was al ways regarded as great honor to the city. The poor people virtually revered him, snd called him the "Great Commoner. A friend of the General says that all his little benefsctions to poor people in Lowell and elsewhere will never be known, for they were innumerable. During his life there he bestowed charity on hundreds of men and women, and, without compensation. frequently visited Washington in bshslf of poor widows seeking pensions, of which he secured large number. His magnificent residence in Lowell is about two miles from the business center of the city and commands an extensive view of the Mer- rimac river and the numerous manufactur- ing industries along the river. It is re- lated that among those who visited the mansion none were more welcome than poor people, who were invited into his parlor with as much hospitality and grace as were offered 10 distinguished guests.
