I'm Chicago during the hardest part Of
the winter" said William Mnnsell the
other day, II was walking along Dearborn
street holding my ears and pressing along
through the crowd of other half frozen PEG
pie on the street. Presently I noticed a
young lady in evident distress. She was
ravishingly beautiful. Having been in the
drug business several years, I was we'll ac-
quainted with corns, chilblains and frost
bites and their remedies. My practiced eye
detected a dangerous symptom. The end
OF the charming young lady's nose was as
white as a china egg, while the remainder
of 1t was as red as a tomato. Her nose is
frozen, and she doesn't know it. I thought.
Quick as a fash I sprang to her side and
with my customary gallantry preferred my
assistance Before she could answer did
what knew the occasion demanded, and
grabbed up a handful of snow and rubbed
her nose. Her face flushed with indigna-
ton, and I hurried on before she could
thank me- The next day young man, her
brother, called on me at my hotel and de
manded an explanation Iexplained. 'You
duffer,' he said, that was only a daub Of
face powder on her nose He went off
laughing, and now he and and the young
lady are good friends. But you can mag
inc how felt over the mistake. ''-Cincin-

The Cat Problem In New York.

The cat problem has been always a seri-
Gus one to the municipality of New York
AS the city has grown the cats have in
creased and taken on a cosmopolitan and
bohemian air from the felines that chant
the Marseillaise and intermezzo around
Washington square and Wooster street to
the aristocratic pets of upper Fifth avenue.
How to control the natural increase and
the immigration has vexed the city griev-
ously. Happily the good Mrs. English,
who died the other day, has given n valua-
BILE suggestion. She set aside by will a
certain amount for the future maintenance
of her cats in Williamsburg.
People in Williamsburg like cats, and
there is no reason why cats should not, aft
er the first pangs, be contented in Williams
burg. OF course it is not New York, and
there is always the annoyance of ferries to
contend against. and the east side is little
malarial at times. But even treacherous
climate will not knock off more than two
of a cats nine lives. Really Mrs English s
idea is good ont., and "A deportation of cats
to Williamsburg may be recommended for
trial.-New York World.

The Name of Easter.

The name Easter is derived, as some sup
pose, from Eostre, the title of a Saxon
deity whose feast was celebrated every
year in the spring about the same time as
the Christian festival, the name being re-
tanned when the character of the feast was
changed, or, as others suppose, from oster,
which signifies rising. If the latter propo-
sition be correct, Easter is in name as well
