racket and fireworks enough to satisfy

In the last month of her life May
Queen of Scots amused herself making
bed quilt Upon background OF
red. green and black silk she worked
various designs with silk thread OF
bright colora In several places she at
tempted embroidered portraits Of noted
characters Of her time The resem.

quilt was the gift Of the queen to q
maid Of honor who remained with her

A late archbishop of Dublin, noted
for his originality and love of a joke,
was one day walking along road when
he came across three tramps lying on q

Whether q woman is poor or rich it
behooves her to acquire methodical
business habits, keeping her little &C.

cent just what she does with her money,
whether she has ten cents or ten dol
lars to expend on her own little per-
sonal wants. An allowance is the first
step toward this end, if at the same
time it is impressed upon her that every
sum spent should be set down with un-
failing regularity. In black and white
one notes how much more easily the
money can be spent, how quickly it
goes and just what foolish little moth
ings have lured it from our pockets.
Without setting down each item it il

Farming Out Of Railroad Damage Suits.
A new enterprise of some account is
looming up. It's the farming out Of
railroad damage suits Three years
ago the officers of one of the trunk
lines asked q firm of lawyers what sum
they would take to defend the road in
all suits arising from death, accident
and destruction of property and pay
the damage in case of loss. The law
yers named figure and have since re-
ieved the officers Of all anxiety and,
virtually, of responsibility. Their nm
dertaking, like insurance, is somewhat
speculative, but they have killed so
many suits in the courts and have COM
promised on such. advantageous terms
in other cases that they have made q
large profit. Other roads have followed
suit within q year or SO, and Low sew.
eral firms Of lawyers are devoting them.
selves to this work. A, road that hardly
includes three hundred miles of track
is understood to pay sixty-five thousand

A STRIKE IN CAIRO.

The Cairoenes at the fair have ADOPT
ed some of the frills of American life.
The newest trimming to their opera
bouffe careers is strike. When the
company was organized at Cairo eleven
over-done sons of Adam agreed to come
to Chicago to murder the English
tongue, break chinaware and relieve
the Americans of their spare change.
Some were walters in Cairo hotels that
cater to tourists, and others graduated
from donkey boys.
Tourists thought them a simple lot,
only worthy the pity Of the people of
the north; but the brown fellows were
smart enough > to learn that every
American was loaded with backsheesh
and only waiting to be plucked. The
hash singers from. the banks of the
Nile ,tumbled over themselves for a
chance to come to America, and readily
agreed to work for ten dollars month.
in anticipation of rich harvest of TIPS.
Unfortunately for their scheme, they
had a fastidious French head waiter
whom they did not please, and he in
sisted on substituting pretty American
girls The manager then turned the
eleven Cairoenes into dishwashers
Five of them struck. They resented
the indignity of being degraded to
mental positions, where there is no op-
portunity to display their abilities as
accomplished highwaymen. They in
sisted that they were engaged as wait
ere, and they want gore or backsheesh
Meantime the management is making
arrangements to send the five strikers
