 'One of his acts," he said, twas to cut woman's head off right on the stage in front of all of us.'
 'Pshaw!" she protested, "he didn't cut her head off"
 "Yes, he did, too. I saw him, and he carried it over to pedestal and it be- gan talking"
 'How do you know it was a woman?''
 'Didn't see her?"
 ''It might have been a man or boy dressed like woman"
 'No it wasn't, either, I tell you. It was a woman. Didn't say it kept on talking after it's head was cut off?''- Detroit Free Press.

The London Coffee House In 1900.

At the coffee house the news was dis
cussed, rumors were invented, scandal
aired and designations made. Letters
were received and kept for known Gus
toners. Swift used to find his letters
from Stella in the frame of the glass be-
hind the bar Of the st. James coffee
house. Harley afterward Earl Of Ok
ford, saw one of Stella's letters one day
in that conspicuous position and asked
Swift how long he had learned the trick
of writing to himself. Stella wrote hand
very closely resembling Swift's own.
The floor of a coffee room was divided
into boxes similar to those that still lin
ger in few taverns and hostelries that
preserve flavor Of times gone by. Be
hind bar sat enshrined the 'idols," /" as
a correspondent of The Spectator terms
the barmaids, whose manners and Gus
toms, especially their fondness for firta-
ton and bar worship-the chief griev-
ance with this correspondent, who was
probably either old or ugly-have their
counterparts at the present day beneath
more pretentious roofs. Tom Brown de-
scribes the 'idols" as "a charming Phillia
or two, who invite you by their amorous
glances into their smoky territories.
The crusty Spectator complained that
great difficulty in getting served was ex-
perienced by those who did not respond

In small village not far from New
York was sent by my parents to spend
3 few weeks with an aunt of my fathers
I had not been at her home long when
one evening as we were preparing to re-
tire for the night my aunt discovered
that we were not alone in the room. She
had noticed a slight noise and upon close
inspection discovered a man hid in a
closet. She knelt in silence few mo-
ments; then in a loud voice she asked
God to protect the stranger, whoever he
might be, to keep him from the evil he
intended to commit, to bless and lead
him to better ways.
She had barely finished when he came
from his hiding place and addressed her,
saying: Madam, you have taught me a
lesson shall never forget. My mother
taught me to pray just as you have
prayed tonight when ! was but little
child" and with these words he left US,
and we have never seen him since.-Cor.

Teresa Urea, the living patron saint

from her mountain home in Mexico sew

The -four trust is now said to be in op-
Grafton. The scheme is said to have orig
mated with Hubbard, the big miller Of
Mankato, MINI, and the meetings up to
this time have been held in Chicago. Most
of the spring wheat millers in Buffalo, Chi
cago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis
and tributary points have finally gone into
the organization. The office of the secre-
tary is in Chicago, where the meetings are
to be held quarterly. A number of millers
have not gone into the combine. The un-
derstanding is that the new deal of prices
is to go into effect after the next harvest.
One of the Minneapolis millers says:
The trust will include the Minneapolis
mills 1t is expected that the Milwaukee
mills will be in too. So with the Duluth
mills. They may be brought into the COM
bination. A strong combination of wealthy
northwestern millers will be able to almost
control the wheat market at all times.

In Two Big Cities.

The average man who makes the trip
to Brooklyn by the bridge cars conducts
himself very differently at the two ends
Of the line. On the New York side he
manifests the utmost eagerness to lose
no time. He rushes up the station steps,
crowds upon the first car he comes to,
and then dashes for seat, as if his hopes
of happiness depended upon his speed.
When he gets to the Brooklyn end Of the
bridge, however, he has more time. He
walks away from the cars as if he had no
further reason to hurry. Instead of fight
ing for first place on the stairways, he
loiters along as if he wanted to end the
procession. A Brooklyn philosopher ac-
counts for the phenomenon on the ground
that everybody is inclined to be happy
In his town and is too well content to
hurry.-New York Times.

Pitifcl Plant OF q Man Who Has Served .
Term For Forgery.
"No. Ii, ,4S1" tells a pitiable story Of his
difficulties in attempting to obtain iv-
ing honestly after undergoing term Of
Imprisonment. He was sentenced 81
years ago to two years Imprisonment for
forgery. Previously he had been pos
sessed of considerable means, had been
brought up in luxury, but exhausting his
fortune had committed forgery to obtain
more money. During his imprisonment
he came into contact with many Young
fellows who had committed silar
crimes, and who had not the slightest idea
as to how they were to gain a living when
they got out. When he was released, he
had q few pounds, and when this was
gone he applied to the Discharged Prison
ers' Aid society.
He says: II was told l could come
into the house (and so mix with some of
the greatest of criminals), for which
should have to chop wood or do tailor

cavalier" CAHEs
of crimson, purple, green, blue or
black velvet or cloth, with round coll
larettes in harmony or contrast are the
popular style of Spring wrap; quite
short and full, an absolute necessity
with large sleeves. Fine quality jet
combined with shaded velvet is very
handsome, plain velvet requiring no
trimming but a full collarette lined
with gay contrasting color. Colored
or black broadcloth capes with velvet
collarettes, cut up at the back to make
room for ribbon bow, or a succession
of satin ribbon ruffies shaped to form a
round collar, are very desirable for
general street wear. Tan cloth capes
will be much in vogue for young per-
sons, braided or trimmed with rows of
satin ribbon or metal passementerie.
SKIRTS ARE STILL
closely fitted at the top, but are four
yards and half around the bottom,
and three, five, seven, nine or even
twelve narrow ruffles are in vogue; at
the same time askirt composed of three
deep fiounces or five, is equally fash
ionable. Three or five rows of fiat
passementerie isanother pretty variety
and come imported costumes show
single ruffie, other bias satin bands, or
graduated rows of satin ribbon.
Where several ruffies are employed
they are usually of the dress material,
and when of thin silk, are pinked at
both edges. Velvet sleeves are very
fashionable, one, two or three droop-
ing puffs, finished with lace or plain
coat sleeve. While slight point at
front and back is stylish, round waists
newer, with medium wide velvet belts,
Empire" belts being decidedly on the
decrease. Invisible fastenings are in the
majority and waists of handsome
dresses are draped with lace, velvet
silk and passemerterie.

THE following is said to be the Ian
guage used by President Cleveland in
reference to his rule not to reappoint
old officials:
"The Democratic party is q very
large organization. Only very small
percentage of its good men could be
given Office during my previous ad-
ministration. The others, who were
equally good, had to content them
selves by remaining as private citizens.
Under these circumstances, it is proper
that those who did not get Office before
should have such recognition as is pos
sible this time. The former incumbents
of Office will not be reappointed."
President Cleveland said further that
this simply meant that former en-
ploye should not drop into the same
place he held before. He might go
higher. The President said this rule
might even apply to fourth-class post
masters.

discharging tumor, portion ofwhich
was solid weighing six ounces. The
other part was large thin sack con-
tanning pus, that could shift from side
to side according to the amount Of pus
present. This was the sack or lump on
