QUEENS AT a BULL FIGHT.
Her Majesty of Madrid aud the Royal Lady

Her Majesty of Madrid aud the Royal Lady
of Lisbon.
The queen OF Portugal was visiting
the queen of Spain. She had never
seen bull fight, she wanted to see one,
and she told her royal hostess of her
desire. As an inducement to let her
have her wish, she offered to appear in
the Plaza de Toros in Spanish costume.
The sight of the Portuguese queen in
national colors might be expected to
meet with the fervent approval of the
clgarmakers and the rest of the popu.
lace of Madrid. and to prove an effec-
tive political hit
The queen of Spain mad not attended
a corrida de toros since the death of her
husband, being a woman of sense and
sensibility, and Il foreigner by birth, it
was said to her credit that she had
never become reconciled to the cruel,
sickening sport, and that she would
gladly wean her subjects from

may be, she complied with

The exhibition was as sickening to
the foreigners and as glorious to the
Madrilenes as could be desired. The
spectators went wild with enthusiasm
over the grace, daring and skill of the
chulos, the picadores and the espadas.

The structure was partly frame; the
corridors had plank floors; the seats in
the offices were wooden benches of the
rudest pattern. The people nicknamed
it the rookery, and the name was well
deserved.
About seven years ago the new city
hall was finished far enough to permit
the officers of the city to take posses
sion of their new quarters. The ground
on which the rookery stood was rented
with proviso that large office build
ing be erected on it which should be
an ornament to the city. The stipuIa-
ton was carried out and there stands
to-day building which has few equals
and probably not a single superior in
the world as an Office building. The
vestibule of this building is always
shown in albums of Chicago, and it is
truly magnificent. To preserve tn

city hall was adopted as the name of

WHERE BEER COMES HIGH.
How Walters Take Advantage of Mistakes
in Making Change.

Mexico is a queer country" re-
marked a legal friend, whe had Just
! returned from a trip there. THE best
hotel in the City of Mexico is poor
sort of an affair by the side of our New
York hostelries. We couldn't get a
room with a bath. l had to use the
public bath connected with the hotel
Paid twenty-five cents Nearly every
thing is twenty-five cents. We paid
twenty-five cents for cur beer and
twenty-five cents for our brandy and
soda. The walters are worse than the
New York article. They never bring
you the correct change. They are ma
tives and the worst set of robbers out
of Jail"
My legal friend never dined at a
certain Broadway hotel among the
sports, actors, theatrical managers and
whatnot Otherwise he could see some
of the very worst walters right here in
New York. and wouldn't have to seeI
them in Mexico. | have dined there
pretty often, for it is a good place to
study character and has a good cook.
Four times out of a possible five the
check-will charge i've, ten or twenty
cents more on items than the price on
the bill of fare. This is clumsy trick,
however, compared to the favorite one
of adding up the items wrong. For,
curiously enough, most men who would
see at once an overcharge will never
detect the error in the footing. The
fact is, men are not always at their
arithmeticai best Immediately after
dining. Every waiter knows that and
takes advantage of it. 1t is so easy to
add the tip into the total, and if he
gets anything else he is so much ahead.
II ne IS caught it is mistake" easily

ing are familiar here, too. l once gave

lie came back shortly afterward an
handy laid change for two dollars be-
fore me.
Il believe you gave me a two-dollar
note said he.
"You mean ten" l suggested.
He Immediately laid down the three
dollars which he had concealed in his
hand.
This cheating in footings is so COM
mon that no householder is safe from
1t unless the figures are carefully gone
over.
A bright little saleswoman in one of
the biggest retail houses in the city
once dropped me for fifty cents as neat
as wax by this process of addition, and
this in bill of less than five dollars.
Since that time have gone over their
figuring, and in several cases where
the goods were paid for on the spot l
have found from fifty cents to dollar
included in the footing that didn't be
long there. These girls are very quick
at figures, and pretty girl can film

WOMEN IN SHOPS.
The Movement for the Bettering of Their
Condition n Failure.

The Movement for the Bettering OF Ihefr
Condition n Failure.
1t is doubtful if movement, at one
time quite general among wealthier
women, for the amelioratiOn of the con-
dition of shop-girls, produced much
permanent change for the better, as, for
instance, in the matter of seats, since
one has only to look at the space behind
the counters of most shops in order to
see that there is no room for seats; and
in the matter of wages, since girls just
out of school, and with homes of their
own, are eager to take for less money
the places of those who have no homes
and are not so fresh and pretty. Why
young women will persist in seeking
these situations when they can have
those thousand times more comfort
able in private families as mattresses
and ladies' maids, with clean work,
and far lighter, pretty dress, nice sur
roundings, pleasant treatment, and
ultimate regard, if found deserving.
as members of the family is a
marvel The wages in the shops
are small, and they are made
much smaller by fines for tardi-
ness, for break@ges, for mistakes
of any sort, and for numberless other
reasons which partSke of tyranny
whether they may or may not be strict
ly just; the hours are burdensOme and
arbitrary; the work is by no means
trifing; they have as much scOrn and
cOntumely from customers as they
would suffer from masters and mis-
tresses; and it is all as trying to the
nerves as to the body; while the floor
walker is an ever present grievance.
Possibly the most extreme improve
ment in the condition of shop girls is
the effort, here and there successful, to
supplant the male hoor-walkers with
women; for while the majority OF
the male floor-wall5ers are worthy men,
anxious to do their duty, the possibility
of even one among the whole number
being unworthy proves the defect Of
the system, and the superiority of the
system which would employ women to
oversee young girls and to be brought
into such close contact with them and
authority over them. -Harper's Bazaar.

She Has Achieved Fame in Many Ways
Good Pension Agent.
A name well known in Chicago is that
of Ada C. Sweet, pension agent Miss
Sweets success in connection with gov
eminent work and positions has earned
her the respect and devoted interest of
all of her sex who are interested in the
advancement of women. Ada Celeste
Sweet was born in the pretty little VIII
lage of Stockbridge. Wis, February %,
1852 Her father was the well known
Gen. b. j. Sweet, who was afterward
in command at Camp Douglas. Miss
Sweets business training began in her
fathers Office at the age of sixteen. His
right arm had been disabled, Obliging
him to get some one TO assist him in his
Office work, so he called in his eldest
daughter as private secretary and as
sistant She read law with him, and it
was the intention that she should be-
come a lawyer, and both looked eagerly
forward to the time when they should
hang out sign of "B. j. Sweet &
Daughter, Attorneys-at-Law." But the
untimely death of Gen. Sweet in 1874
cut short these pleasant dreams. Soon
after her fathers death Gen. Grant APP
pointed her United States pension agent
for the Northern Illinois district, with
headquarters at Chicago At the open
ing of the administration of Cleveland
Miss Sweet was asked to resign by the
new United States commissioner of
pensions, but she appealed to Presi-
dent Cleveland, who rescinded the
order September 1, 1885,, Miss Sweet
resigned her position as pension agent
to take an advantageous position in
New York city. The neat year she
went to Europe, and, returning, became
the literary editor of the Chicago Tri-
bunc In 1sss she opened a claim office
i'll Chicago, where she is still prosecut-
ing claims for pensions
One of the best pieces of work Miss
Sweet ever did, and of which she is
justly proud, was the raising of the
money in 1890 for the first police 2m-
bulance. She is a philosophical WON
am, always interested in good things,
and is now president of the Municipal
Order league, which is doing valiant
work for the cleaning up of the city

A Pharmacist.

Miss Mahegin. of Brooklyn, is regu-
larly licensed woman pharmacist, and
her work at the prescription desk of
the drug store in which she is employed
is proving an unqualified success. Miss
Mahegin has the same hours, the same
duties and the same pay that man re-
ceives for the same services, and, &C
cording to her employer, is the best as
sistant he has ever had. The principal
objection to the work is the long hours,
from eight in the worning till ten or
eleven at night, with but one afternoon
each week and every alternate Sunday
off duty; but Miss Mahegin finds the
work so interesting on account OF the
great variety connected with it that the
long hours pass rapidly.

washingto n's Masonic Apron.

Washington and Lafayette were
warm personal friends, as well as
brothers in arms and in the great ma
sonic fraternity. On many a hard
fought field Lafayette proved his
friendship for Washington, and as a
testimonial of his brotherly love for
him he presented him satin en-
broidere I masonic apron, wrought by
Nine. Lafayette and members of her
family. The apron is still in existence
and is tie property of Mount Nebo
lodge No. 81, Shepherdstown, w. Va.
The apron is of white satin fringed
with black silk, with the following
masonic emblems beautifully wrought
in gold and silver tissue. At the top is
the cable tow in festoon, then the
gavel, square and compasses, and over
these, also forming compsases with
their stats, the French and American
flags. Where the fiagstaffs intersect
are the skull and the cross bones, with
the pilgrims sword, and entwined
among these is sprig of acacia Now
some of the black silk fringe is miss
ing, but the satin and the embroidery
are well preserved. The apron was
often worn by Gen. Washington, and
it remained in the family as an heir
loom until it was presented to Mount
Nebo lodge by Brother Thomas Ham
mond, who married Miss Washing
ton, and who was initiated into the
lodge in 1S15.-N. Y. Advertiser.

Three Remarkable Books.

Among small printed book an honor

Bible in Miniature" printed by New

lical wonder. which measured only one
and one-fifth inches in length, aud
twelve-sixteenths of an inch IN width,
contains an average of twenty-oDe
words and about one hundred and sixty
letters. Still another wonderfully
small volume is a religious work en-
titled: Small Rain Upon the Tender
Herbs" This book was printed quite
recently by a London tract society.
Its leaves are one and one-fourth by
one inch in size, vet each page holds an
average of forty words, or about two
hundred and sixty letters. Besides
these tive tiny volumes there is, it APP
pears, a more remarkable work in ex-
istence. 1t is without printed matter
and is known as the "Wordless Book"
1t has but ten leaves, twenty pages,
each of different color. Fer over three
hundred years it has been kept in the
library at St Rupert's monastery. Its
wordless pages are only consulted on
