Mr. Asnniih,a Double.

Here Is a good story of Mr. Asquithr
who lived recently at Hampstead.
A photographer in st. John s Wood was
visited one day by man bearing strik-
ing emblance to the home secretary,
and he took his portrait. The photogra-
pher, who prided himself on knowing Mr..
Asquith by sight, jumped to the conclu-
sion that he had the home secretary as
sitter. and when he took the picture he
limited that he should be glad Of the right
to sell it if his distinguished visitor would
make terms.
The man seemed astonished, but ulti-
mately said that he would take 9l0 for all
rights in the artistic work. The photog-
rapher was somewhat surprised that so
important parsonage should ask money,
but said that if the sitter would allow him
he would send SO by post, and then the
man left. A few days after st. Johns
Wood was placarded with portraits label
ed 1.-The Home Secretary" and Mr.. AS
auth received check for go, which
was mystery to him. What were the
feelings of the photographer, who soon
found out his mistake, may be better i'm
agined than described.-London Core

A Thrifty People.

Richard Tangye, the great engineer, in
his autobiography gives some curious eX-
amples of the economy of the Cornish
miners Compared with these thrifty folk,
Scotch peasants and farmers OF New Eng
land are extravagant. His grandfather
was a miner, and when once asked what
his daily work was he replied
"Ten hours at the engine and eight at
digging The rest of the day have to
waste"
Tangye states that he once saw this
same cd man fall into fury Of rage be-
cause "A boy whom he had hired threw
away a match after lighting candle
with it.
"D'ye waste my property eloon' Then
We will never be worth saxpence Of yer
ownl' he shrieked.
A careful old woman lamented a stolen
pie for more than 40 years. The tears
would come to her eyes whenever she talk
ed about the lost dainty.-l.ondon Mil

One of the richest women in this
country is Mary Garrett, OF Baltimore.
daughter OF the great railroad king
and sister Of the present head of the
Baltimore and Ohio system. She is
about thirty eight years Of age, and
is worth perhaps 1000, 900. much of
which she herself has made by judi
cious investments. She is OF Medium
height, has pale face, and blue eyes
mnch dependent on spectacles. She
is said to be a walking Poor's Manua
on railroad affairs. She inherited
her fathers love for the business, and
is acquainted with every detail OF
the railroad be founded. She gives a
large share of her time to business,
another large share to charitable
work, but very little to society. She
is great traveller. and is a most enter
tanning conversationalist, speaking
in a peculiarly soft, low voice.-Neic

The IeNpERLoIN DISTRICT.
Gotham's Gilded Center of Frivolity, Vice.
Society, Politics and Theatricals-

Society, Politics and Theatrlcals.
The Tenderloin district is human sew
er, the playground of the chief prodigals
of the country and the theater of dude
dom, of frivolity, of vice and OF lawless-
ness, always gilded and maintained alike
by those men and women who, by reason
of their money, their social position or
their connection with the theatrical stage,
are accorded the publicity which they work
for increasingly, and without which they
would seem to possess little else than vuI-
garity, assurance, good clothing and the
morals of white mice. In this remarka-
BILE district is the so called "Rialto," or
actors promenade Delmonico's, the great
Broadway hotels, the headquarters OF both
the Republican and Democratic politi-
clans, the majority of the fashionable the
aters, the opera house, the chief gambling
bells, the all night drinking and supper
resorts, and some of the leading clubs.
ANY American citizen in any part OF the
country, if he read the newspapers, can
picture to himself the motley throng and
the delirious life that the mere mention
Of these places brings to mind. Any one
in his minds eye can see the actors and
actresses, artificial and fevered in their
lives as well as in their work; the mash
ers and dudes, whose aim in life Is TO get
their names coupled with these semipublic
men and women in the newspapers at any
cost of money or self respect; the spend
thrift gamblers, the cheeky promoters, the
loud and dissipated sporting men, the rich
and idle clubmen and their noisy shad-
ows, the empty headed prodigGl rich mems
sons; the gorgeous outcast women, the
chorus and ballet girls, the owlliGe detect
ives and the imperious and tyrannical
high officials of the police force; the bar
room Bohemians flashing alcoholic wit
that sells by the column as dry goods are
sold by the yard; the first set of society
more vulgar than so many licensed vend-
ers-and in word, the whole phantasma-
goria of the electric lighted dollhouse,
champagne soaked, clothes laden popula-
ton.
Such froth is whipped to the top of ev-
cry great cityful, and such torn and drag
gled lace clings to the skirts OF society ey-
erywhere, but nowhere else is it daily cell
ebrated in loaded type, except as 1t forces
itself upon the attention of the police
magistrates Here it is paraded TO the
extreme of journalistic madness, until the
participants in this saturnalia OF profh-
gacy become not only nationally famous
for the number of times they change their
clothes, or the rapidity with which they
marry and remarry, but are reported from
abroad at 10 cents word by cable, when
they go to Europe and are lucky at Monte
Carlo, uneasy or scandalous in their do
nestle relations, or when they fight fake
dueIs-fake French duelS, to be exact

Tunnel and Bridge to Copenhagen.

Copenhagen is often cut off from the
mainland during part of the winter by
accumulations of ice in the at belt,
and it is now proposed to make a tunnel
between the islands Of Seeland and Funen,
and a bridge between Funen and the main
land. The termini of the tunnel will be
at Italskow Pynt and Kunnshaved, and
its length about II miles. The construc-
ton will be easy owing to the soft nature
of the bottom, and the island of Spragal
will be used for ventilation and other pur-
poses. The cost of the tunnel is estimated
at 90 ,OOO, 900 Danish crowns about el,-
100, 1000, that of the bridge, 100000
crowns taGSO, OOO), and Copenhagen will
be brought two hours nearer the continent.

The Hottest Spot In the East.

In the eastern hemisphere the hottest
spot is on the borders of the Persian gulf
on the southwestern coast of Persia. The
thermometer during July and August
never falls below 100 degrees during the
night, while the temperature during the
day rises to 12s or 1919 degrees. Little
or no rain falls, and yet, in spite of
this terrific beat and other drawbacks,
comparatively numerous population con-
trive to live there, obtaining their water
supply by divers from the copious springs
of fresh water which burst forth from the
bottom of the sea.-Spare Moments.

Parental Influence and its Responsibility.

Some foolish parents can and will endure
any pain for their dc'potic children, except
the pain Of resisting, correcting and in
structing them and accordingly they have
sometimes to experience the shame and an
guish of their chidren's curses. Like that
Carthagenian mother, Of whom it is related
that her spp, n CO ,victed criminal, passing
TO execution, requested that he might whis-
per something 10 her, aud, coming near, bit
off her ear, saying,it was his revenge because
she had brought him up so badly. That was
the thanks she got for her mistaken kind
ness to him.
