His wife's apartment on the same floor is daintily decorated in blue and white. and the brass be,lStead has can opy of blue silk covered with white lace. A unique lacquered dressing case stands in one corner covered with odd shaped bottles and toilet articles.
 The nursery of the minister's three children. large, light apartment, con tains little furniture besides the two lit tie white beds that stand side by side against one of the walls. but the queer looking playthings scattered about look as if the occupants had an enjoyable time of it. On the third floor are the bedchambers of the subordinate mem bers of the legation, all uniformly fur nishsd in oak. The entire top floor is devoted to a big ballroom, which will probably be the scene of some grand fes- tivities during the season, as Minister Yu is said to intend entertaining on an extensive scale.

dissipation interfere with his work lately
 and is not entitled to any of the credit his
 team may have won by capturing the
 League pennant.
 Gastright, the fourth pitcher of the club,
 is one of the mysteries of the season of 1893. Last year he was ''floatcr," being
 engaged and released on an average of once
 n month. He started in the present season
 about the same way, and when at last the BostOnS gave him trial, while StiVettS and Staley were almost useless, the other clubs realized that the champions were in decd in desperate straits. But here the un- expected happened. Gastright turned up
 in winning form. He pitched in nine sue
 cessivo victories and shared Boston Cnthu-
 siasm with Nichols.
 Of the catchers Charley Bennett is the
 oldest and most widely known. Years ago when he was in his prime and a member
 of the Detroit club he stood at the head of
 the catchers of the land. But Bennett be longs to the passing stars. His work for
 the Bostons this season has not been good, and it is problematical whether he will be member of next years team. Bennett is one of the veterans who has outlasted most Of his contemporaries by reason of the eN- tellent care he always took of himself. He Is the only catcher still playing of l6 who did that service for the National league eluAs of lSS9.
 Charley Ganzel is another veteran, but having been in service fewer years than Ben nett he still has prestige and will remain in
 Boston uniform for 1894. He, too, is Il
 man who avoids all forms of dissipation.
 which largely accounts for his long service 1 on the diamond.
 ! Merritt Is young and made his repute- 1 tion during the early part of the season. | The Louisvilles had him on their team last
 year, but didn't think enough of his play | ing to sign him in the spring. The Bostons gave him a chance M Il he rushed to the l front in the first moL--i as one of the most
 successful catchers in the League. He led
 the Bostons in batting and excelled in his l field work. Unfortunately he was injured 1 in one of the midseasOn games and laid up 1 for some weeks Since his recovery he has not done so well.

 The prevalent discussion of the silver question lends additional interest to the career of Robert E. Preston. whom President Cleveland recently. appointed director of the mint, an office he had filled as deputy since the resignation of Mir. E. O. Leech in May last. Mir. Pres tons course as acting director has been severely criticised by prominent prosilver men, but his nomination at such a crit ical period of the debate was a sufficient indication that his policy had the ap- proval of the administration.

No Law Against Removing Dead BOdy.s
 Where in the world" asked the law yer who volunteered information with out retaining fee, did people-espe- cially people i'll the country-get the idea that one cannot touch or remove body until the coroner has arrived? That is almost general belief in the country. and there never was more ridiculous and absurd piece of nonsense than this
 I have seen a body lie in everybody's way because the people thereabout thought that it was unlawful to touch it. This foolish tradition amounts almost to a superstition, and you may be sure no coroner takes the trouble to enlighten stupid ignorance upon the subject. The coroner is only too willing to aggrandize his influence and power, and therefore rather encourages than discourages this silly superstition. New York Tribune.

Making the Most of Heusehola Pets.


 Whatever beast IS kept it should have its own quarters ip which it is at home and free from intrusion and to which it can retire when it chooses. This home should be kept clean and sweet by fire quent changes of bedding and the use of soap and water. No one has right to keep an animal in confinement who finds it toomuch trouble to attend to its health and comfort. It should be regularly fed on food that is most healthful for it, and what is quite as essential to its happiness and consequently to its health, it should be talked to and noticed as much as any body.
 l am certain many animals and birds suffer and die in our homes from pure loneliness and from being regarded by their human neighbors as creatures of an altogether different nature. Whereas the truth is, if one will but cultivate their acquaintance. he will be astonished to see how the dullest and most stupid will wake out of its apparent torpor and show understanding and character.
 know Q family very fond of pets, in which the creatures show most extraor- dinary individuality. Their cats do things no cat was ever before known to do; their parrots and other birds show what we call human nature in a won derful degree, and their dogs almost talk. The reason is plaini the animal or bird is made one of the family. It is talked to and petted as we'll as cared for. Its intelligence develops, and the beast becomes very like the human being Olive Thorne Miller in Harper'a Baxar.
