VERY" with q Verb.

pleased" in the expression every
pleased" is nothing more than the past
participle passive of please" used as an
adjective. Very" SO far as l am
aware, is never used with any other part
of a verb, and then only when that part
has become adjective by usage. The
following quotation from Pope's "Dun-
clad" shows its use as an adjective:
Thou triumph'st, Victor of the high wrought
day,
And the pleased dame, soft smiling, iead'st
away.
A similar use of the word is when we
say a persons face has ga pleased ex-
preston" This being the case it is as
correct to say every pleased" as to say
every much pleased" Annandale's elm
perial Dictionary" subject Very" has:
"Among old writers very was fire.
quently used alone to modify a past
participle, and it is still to some extent
SO used; thus, Sir w. Jones has very
concerned Gibbon, very unqualified
Sydney Smith, very altered, ETC."
As there is no verb unqualify, I'M
qualified can be nothing else but an adj
jective, and concerned and altered come
under the same part of speech. When
we say, II am very pleased" there is no
action implied, but there is simply a
description of the state on condition in
which one is at the time of speaking

Domestic Thunder Storms.

We have heard il asserted that quarrel
now and then in family is not bad
thing-that it purifies the domestic atmos-
phere, rendering it pleasant and salubrious
for some time to come; in short, that it is
to the household air what thundergust is
to the general element.
Whose reasons thus is simpleton. Eye
lightnings are neither agreeable when
"the sparks of fury" are being projected,
nor as they flash through the recollection,
and tongue thunder reverberates through
the memory for many a long day after the
storm. 1t is an egregious mistake to sup
pose that sharp words spoken in anger are
soon forgotten. They often cut deep, and
in some cases the wounds never entirely
heal elimination and recriuination were
never yet freely and frequently INDUCED in
by man and wife without begetting en-
nifty between them, or, to say the least,
without destroying their esteem for each
other.
Marriage does not change human nature,
and it is not human nature to love any
body one is continually quarreling with.
Pettish wives and surly husbands are adj
vised to make note of this; also all happy
pairs, fresh from the altar, who desire to
keep happy.-New York Ledger.

British fondness for territory Is Illus

British possessions are all printed in
brilliant shade of red, but the world IS

show as was desired, so Grant Land, the
great continent of rock and ice lying north
of the Arctic circle, and Graham Land, a
similar tract south of the Antarctic CIRCLE
were also printed in rosy hue. These

Her Rule of Life.

Mrs. Little was woman greatly re-
spected in the little neighborhood where
she lived. Her friends and neighbors
often spoke of her knowledge of Bible
teachings, and few were the occasions
when she did not remind them of her
attainments by some apt quotation.
"How is it, Mrs. Little" asked neigh
Dor one day, "that you can always re-
member some suitable quotation for
everything that happens?'
"Oh, | don't know" responded the
good woman with a pleased smile, "un-

Mrs. Croly, whose pen name Is Jennie
June, has long been favorite with the
reading public, is the president of the
Women's Press club and the founder of
it, for it was her call to the press women
of New York that resulted in the organi-
cation of the present club. Sorosis also
owes its birth to Mrs. Croly, in whose
house it was organized, and she has
written history of it.
At present Mrs. Croly is the editor of
The Home Maker. into which the Wom-
ems Cycle, that was started by her a few
years ago, has been merged, retaining,
however, the name of Cycle department.
To this magazine Mrs. Croly now de-
votes the greater part OF her time, but
goes about to various cities and towns in
the United States, whenever she is called
upon, to speak of club life before wom-
ems clubs. No woman perhaps has had
more experience than she has had in this
respect, and her love for all women and
her interest i'll everything pertaining to
them render her peculiarly well fitted
for this work. She does not sympathize
with the universal suffrage movement
for women, nor does she approve of it
for men, but she thinks that certain
classes of women should have voice in
the making of the laws, and she believes
that the time will come when they will
have it.
A thoroughly womanly woman, Mrs.
Croly's slight figure and unwrinkled
face make her look almost too young tc
be the mother of grown up children
She lives in Il dainty flat uptown that is
filed with books, pictures and bric-a
brac, making it the ideal literary WON
ans home. Her Sunday evening recep
tions are crowded with bright men ant
women, and the young aspirant for jour
nalistic and literary honors is Away
cordially welcomed by the genial host

Lawrence Barrett's Estate.

Notwithstanding the report that Law
renee Barrett died wealthy, it is now be-
lieved that but for his life insurance poll
cies the estate would be small one.
He had about $125, 900 insurance, which
he was careful to keep paid up. He had
considerable invested in scenery and cos
TUNES and he owned some real estate at
Cohasset, Mass. In the production of
his plays he was lavish in expenditure in
some directions, and the new play of
Oscar Wilde's which he produced here
cost him $25, 900 to mount. His income
was large, but he spent it freely in his
love for art.-Cor. Philadelphia Press.

Anybody been run over9"
is it man in tity'
High above the ceaseless rumble and
roar OF traffic rose human voices in anx-
ious inquiry, and the dense throng at the
Intersection of State and Madison streets
grew denser still. 1t was just before
sunset, and the mighty heart Of Chi
Cages business center throbbed with the
feverish energy that marked the closing
hours Of another day of toll, and the
hurrying homeward Of restless, eager
thousands. The swiftly moving streams
OF humanity that are wont to meet in
eddying whirls in this dizzy vortex and
then diverge and move onward again,
each in its destined course, had sudden
" become blocked and chaos reigned.
Pushed toward the common center by
the ever hurrying throngs afoot, in car
rlages and in street cars, and unable to
extricate themselves, men, women and
children gasped for breath, and the
crowd in the streets and on the side
walks overfowed into alleys and surged
hither and yon like the resistless ebb
and flow of mighty sea.
A policeman on the outskirts of the
dense throng climbed lamppost, and
from his elevated position surveyed the
scene.
Give him air" he shouted sternly,
waving his club. 'sGive him ARR
whats the matterg' inquired hun
dred voices as he climbed down.
81 don't know" he answered, and with
gloomy, lowering brow he strutted up
the street, disappeared down short
flight of stairs, from which few mo-
ments later he emerged, wiping his
mouth, and in the same stern, uncom-
promising way he walked block far
ther and sent in fire alarm.
Meanwhile the surging multitude at
State and Madison grew every moment
more appalling and inextricable.
Something must be done.
Fiercely elbowing his way through
the crowd, newspaper reporter at last
was seen bearing down toward the CEN
ter of the compact mass. His hat was
off, his hair flying in the wind, and his
face was deathly pale, but with set teeth
and dilated nostrils he tore his way
along, thrusting to the right and left
every one who opposed his progress.
Reaching the center of the throng he
seized two individuals by their arms, and
in the same resolute, fearless way opened
a passage for them to the outside, and
as if by magic, the vast concourse dis
solved; the converging streams Of hui
manity whirled and eddied as before
and the business heart of the great city
throbbed again.
The reporter had conjectured rightly
The blockade was caused by two womer
who had met in the exact center of the
street and stopped to tell each other the
troubles they were having with theil

MIR. GRAY'S MINING BILL.

One of the most important and use- ful legislative measures so far proposed f IS house bill No. 76 "An act concerning the title to and governing the location of mines and mining claims," by Mir. Gray of Cochise county which reached it's second reading yesterday. The highest recommendation of the bill is that it's passage is desired almost un- animously by the mining men of the territory.
 The present mining laws are some what vague and productive of ex pensive litigation as instanced by the proceedings of the supreme court and district courts for Maricopa and Yava- pal counties within the past year. The revised statutes of the United States so far as they cover the ground are &C., ceptable to miners, but much is left by them for interpretation which is usual ly made only at the- close of a long series of litigation and even then it may not be considered final.
 Mir Gray's bill is drawn to conform to the act of congress governing the location of mining claims, but also sup plements it with prescriptions which can hardly be misunderstood. It ap- plies only to leads, lodes, dykes and veins, those prolific sources of dispute, and the manner it prescribes for the location and holding of claims is so plain and inst that the bill conmends itself to all whom experience has dear ly taught the need of such a measure.

demanded was defeated. There will be nolegisiation on monetary issues, &C., cording to the present outlook, inside of six months or year. Logically, there fore. the country should proceed to col lapse on the financial breakers.
 But Wall streets bankers now assure the country that there is no cause for apprehension. Bradstreet's quotes the president of the New York Chemical Bank as saying that there is no cause for alarm even if the gold in the treas ury falls below the $l00, ,000, 900 reserve. Mir. Walter Bagehot, the authority Of Lombard street, is quoted as stating in his late work, the reserve is kept for the very purpose of being drawn upon at times of temporary scarcity, and is not to be considered as useless "show."
 But there is little prospect that Secre- tary Carlisle will be called upon to draw upon the reserve. The banks of the West have freely rendered gold in ex- change for Treasury notes, and thus proved their faith in the situation. Tenders of $lO ,OOO, QUO in gold have been made within the past day or two. The scare seems to have vanished with the political ends which were involved in it.

LET'S CHANGE THE DATE.

Some day we shall lose president by pneumonia about three weeks after his inauguration and then we'll all wonder why 80 beastly date as March was chosen as the time for inducting our chief magistrates into office. Through out the temperate zone March is the most disAgreeable month in the year, with the possible exception of Novem- ber. To everybody but we'll seasoned sailors exposure to the elements in that month is liable to be positively danger ous. In Washington cold rains or snow may be set down for any date between the middle of February and the middle of March and experience has taught that the 4th is almost certain to be a day of storms.
 MT. Harnson was inaugurated Fin a cold. pouring rain and Mir. Cleveland had to brave the rigors-of a blizzard. He valiantly barred his head to the snow and icy wind in response to the plaudits of the crowd, but he did so at the risk of his life. Fortunately he es- caped with no more serious resulte that severe cold, but it cannot be de- nied that conditions pointed decidedly to something more dangerous. The re- tiriDg president was forced to undergo the same ordeal, although not exposed to the fury of the elements for so long time. The mighty throng of spectators also shared the danger and it is safe to gay that many severe case of illness and not few deaths may be traced to exposure on inauguration day.
 There is no good reason for retaining the present date except that change will necessitste the trouble of adopting a constitutional amendment. Senator Sherman's resolution proposing that in 1877 and thereafter the president of the United States shall be inaugurated on the S0.h day of April is wise step. It proposes a constitutional amendment, but there is little doubt that the neces- gary three-fourth of the states would give their assent.
 Balmy weather begins in Washington before the close of April and such show er1 as fall are gentle, warm and harm less. There would be no snow nor sleet to subject the president to danger of pneumonia or "gal!oping" consumption and the gentle office-seeker would not run the risk of drawing a coffin instead of a commission.
