The woman signaled the Wells
street cable car conductor that she
wanted to get off at the next corner,
but as the car Stacked up she saw
that she had made mistake and
said quickly:
"Oh, l beg you pardon. I've made
mistake. It's the next corner"
"well, why can't you settle what
you want to do in the first placer"
growled the conductor loud enough
for half the people in the car to
hear. OF course the woman got red
in the face and looked decidedly un-
comfortable. Some of the passen-
gers looked at her and chuckled,
while others cast savages glances at
the conductor. One young fellow on
the rear platform asked;
Aren't you ever courteous?"
Whore you talking to9" demand,
ed the conductor fercely.

"She made q natural mistake and
apologized for it."

There was a moments pause a.
the car stopped at the next corner to
let the woman off, and as the ear
started up again the young man
said:

next corner myself"

off together, and I'll find out how

The conductor didn't like it, but
well, he stopped the car.
That's just to show you how
small a man you really are whel
you are not dealing with women,
said the young man as he stepped off
and some of the passengers actual,
laughed in the conductors face. =

A Story About the Pansy.

A pretty fable about the pansy is cur
rent among French and German chill
dren. The flower has five petals and
five sepals. In most pansies, especially
of the earlier and less highly developed
varieties, two Of the petals are plain
in color and three are gay. The two
plain petals have a single sepal, two of
the gay petals have a sepal each, and
the third, which is the largest of all,
has two sepals. The fable is that the
pansy represents a family, consisting of
husband, wife and four daughters, two
Of the latter being step-children of the
wife, with only one chair; the two small
gay petals are the daughters with q
chair each, and the large gay petal is
the wife, with two chairs To find the
father one must strip away the petals
until the stamens and pistils are bare.
They have fancifnl resemblance to. an
old man with q flannel wrap about his
neck, his shoulders upraised and his
feet il 8 bathtnb b. The story s. probably
of French orie because tho French

THE HISTORIAN HEREsY.
It Has Dsen In Existence for Nsar1y Fif-
teen Hundred Years.

It Has 0oen in Existence for Nearly 81xe
tsen Hundred Years.
The HISTORIANS, small community
Of Christians established in Asia Minor,
in the environs of Mossul, have agreed,
says the Levant Herald, to embrace
Catholicism and join the Chaldeans.
to the same race The patriarch Mar
Shimoun is the head of the HISTORIAN
church. His grace Mgr Ella is the
spiritual chief of the Catholic Chal-
deans, who speak the same language
as the HISTORIANS. For long time
past an active correspondence had been
going on between the two patriarchs,
Mar Shimoun, residing at Djoulamerg,
and Mgr. Ella at Mossul. The question
was fully discussed in these letters of
the union of the two communities,
which have almost the same religious
rites and, as said before, are of the same
race and speak the same language. The
result Of this exchange of opinions has
been to ablish basis of understand
ing for the union, which is to be effect
ed under the following conditions: Mar
Shimoun, the HISTORIAN patriarch, and
his flock embrace Catholicism; the
prelate will continue for the remainder
of his life to exercise his spiritual
authority over the HISTORIANS, under
the jurisdiction of Mgr. Ella. Upon
his death no other HISTORIAN patri-
arch will be nominated, the re-
ligious affairs Of the community
being administered by a vicar appointed
by Mgr. Ella or his successors. The
vicar will be helped in his task by a
council composed of notabilities OF the
HISTORIAN community and he will be
directly responsible to Mgr. Ella and
his successors. This agreement has
been accepted by the two patriarchs
and the respective communities. The
two prelates were to have an interview
on the 9th ult. at Bessika, a village
situated between Mossu] and Djoula-
mcrg, in order to fix upon the final con-
ditions of the reunion.
The HISTORIAN hercsy dates from the
fifth century, says st. James Gazette
Iondon). It's author, or chief sup
porter, Nestorius, was bishop of Con-
stantinople from 42s to 431. The
heresy, which is based upon the dis
tinction between the divine and the
human nature of Christ, consists in
denying that the Virgin Mary was the
mother of God. This doctrine was con-
demned by the third general council,
held at Ephesus in 431, and Nestorius
was deposed from his bishopric and
subsequently banished. Applications
for help and instruction were made by
the HISTORIANS to the late Archbishop
TAFT, and the present archbishop of
Canterbury sent mission in 1886 to ex-
pound the doctrines and ritual of the
established church. 1t would seem,
however, that they prefer those of
Rome.

SAVED BY HIS ELOQUENCE.

1t Was an Extemporaneous Speech But
There Was Nothing Dull About 1T.
1.-THE much-admired gift Of extempo-
raneous speaking is disappearing" said
Prof. Williamson, of Texas, to a ST..
Louis Globe-Democrat writer: In this
connection the ordinary after-dinner
platitudes occupying five or ten min
utes, which seem like five or ten hours,
are not meant. I have reference to a
speech of an hour or longer. 1t is
almost impossible nowadays to hear a
speaker make speech Of any length
that is really extemporaneous. Per-
haps such speeches never were entirely
spontaneous as was claimed, but they
were more so than the so-called ex-
temporaneous speeches we hear now
adays.
*sI remember hearing one speech in
my life that I am satisfied was delivered
| without preparation, however, and it
Twas an eloquent one, too. It was in
california in 40. We were busy at
1svork, crowd of us, getting out gold,
And one night two brothers named
fellows-lost every
ounce of their dust. Some thief had
crept into the tent and stolen it. Sus-
picion fell at once, and without any
reason, on an Englishman in the crowd,
who had held himself aloof from every
one. A search of his tent found more
dust than it seemed reasonable for him
to have accumulated, and he was at
once taken to tree with a rope around
his neck and given fifteen minutes to
pray The fifteen minutes reached an
hour and a half, and such flow of elo-
quence upon the subject of circumstan-
tial evidence / have never heard before
or since. Its power may be imagined
when I tell you that the crowd in that
country and in that day was influenced
to change the verdict Of capital punish
ment to Punishment and condscation of
his property. He walked down to
Frisco and took job as barten-
der A month after we found that the
cook we had in camp was the thief, and,
after stringing him up, was sent to
hunt up the Englishman and turn his
property back to him. His name was
Rivers, and he was a varsity man in
England, and a senior wrangler, /
found when I met him. He had pile
of several thousand dollars and went
straight to England. l never heard of
him afterward, but will never forget

PAINT AND POWDER.
Why Women Use Them and the Effect

Why Women Use Them and ths Enrso
That They Produce.
There is no use talking, women dc
use paint and powder, and the only
thing to do is to accept the fact anG
learn, if possible, the cause, says the
Philadelphia Times. It is not confined
TO the passe dame who stretches ont her
withered hands after anything that will
give her even semblance Of the youth
that vanished so long ago. but young
girls and pretty matrons with complex
ions that need no artificial enhancing
arc Just as much addicted to the use OF
rouge and the powder puff as the ell
1derly example, for whom there is some
excuse.
To ask one whose cheeks bear rosy
evidence against her why she does
it," will bring no satisfaction, as tn ere
has never yet been known a woman
willing to acknowledge that any por-
tion Of her makeup is false, Therefore,
one must draw his own conclusions
and reason ont the matter for him
self
Rouge is used most undou btedly for
the sake of winning the admiration of
the opposite sex, as there is hardly a
man who really admires the pallor Of
the lily in preference to the glowing
tints of the rose, and many masculines
candidly admit when questioned on the
subject: 'SOh, we don't mind, SO long
as 1t is done artisticallv."
All, there's the rub, or rather too
much of the rub, for so few women out
side Of beauty doctors and those having
maids, realize how much they get Oh,
causing the very marked differende
between their face and their necl{
which is certain to call attention to the
daubing done by the unsl1illful hand
Powder is as much of a part of a
woman's toilet as her soap or her tooth
brush u.s. 1t is not used to deceive any
body, but takes the shine off in warm
weather, and at all seasons OF the year
gives that sweet and feminine finishing
touch that has no more harm in it than
when mother uses the puff on her

AT all drinking places Of any preten-
sion in Paris you must fee the man who
brings you glass of absinthe or lemon
:ade. In the sultry days of last August,
says a writer in the Home Journal,
was frequent applicant for seltzer
lemonade at 'sThe Bodega," on the cor
ner of Rue de Rivoli and Rue Castigli-
one, under tho Hotel Continental, andI
obtained some information from one OF
the walters. Their wages are very
small and the living expenses of sin
gle man are from four francs to seven
francs day. They depend entirely on
fees. The Bodega walters in Paris
don't care about their own countrymen
for customers; they like Americans bet
tier than any other nationality Where
a Frcnchman will givea sou, or an Eng
Hshnan two SOUS, an American will
freely hand out half a franc or franc,
It he is treating party Of three or four.
At many places OF public entertain
ment in Paris, at the Cafe de la Paix
and at a place Of different character,
the Moulin Rouge, for example, they
have a system which makes it in1possi-
bic for walters to overcharge or cheat
You as do walters in many restaurants
in Regent street and the Strand. In
these Paris drinking places, upon tho
porcelain saucer which holds your
glass, is printed (burnt in colors) the
price of your order. This method
makes you Independent Of the walters
tricks. You know exactly how much
TO pay him. In pleasant weather you
do not enter a Paris cafe for liquid re-
ifreshment, day Or night; all Paris il
out of doors Thousands of people sit
in front of the cafes and sip their lager
or coffee, small iron tables and chairs
being supplied for that purpose. A
stranger may express surprise at the
high price charged for cup Of cafe noir
,or glass Of hook, half franc There
is reason for the high rate. The pro-
prietor or lessee Of the cafe has to pay
for the privilege of occupying space on
the sidewalk. Cafe Brebant, in Boule-
ward Poisoniere, is taxed by the city ave
thousand francs; Cafe de Ia Paix, on
the Grand hotel block, pays twenty
two thousand francs for this privilege.
