OPERA-GLASSES TO HIRE.
How the Man Took Precautions
Against Losing His Goods.

AT the military tournament in the
Madison Square Garden the other
night" said a citizen, to the New York
Sun, "a man came along through the
balcony with opera glasses to hire.
Opera glasses he said, 10 cents A
man who was sitting on an end seat
said he'd take one and the man with
the glasses set his bag down on the
steps of the aisle and opened it and
took out a glass
How are you going to make sure
of getting it back?' said the MAN. in
the seat, playfully. You might miss
me in the crowd
g I guess there is no danger of that,
said the man in the aisle, in like cheer
full strain, and as he spoke he wound
from around the opera glass chain
One end of the chain was attached to
the glass; the other end the man put
around the iron support under the
seat. He secured it there with a lock,
and then he politely handed the glass
to the man who had hired it. The
man in the seat received it with equal
politeness, and with smile which he
could not wholly restrain. The man
in the aisle smiled a little, too. Then
he snapped the bag shut lifted it and
stepped up the aisle, saying as he
went, gently:

LIVING PERMANENTLY IN CHI
CAGO.

1--WE are assured by a trustworthy
gentleman" writes Eugene Field in the
Chicago Record, "that if William D.
Howells were properly approached he
could be induced to come to Chicago
and live here permanently" No doubt
he could, if properly approached, but
the way to do it would doubtless
be to approach him from behind with
a bludgeOn. Does any one live per-
manentIy in Chicago? Does the senti-
ment of permanency really accrue
there even after a residence Of several
decades? Mr.. Field has lived there for
some years, and might tell perhaps, if
he would. I'm this age of railroads and
steamships and trolley-cars permanent
cy is a scarce commodity. Everything
and everybody moves ON. To live
permanently even in Baltimore OF BOs-
ton is an achievement; to live perma-
nently in New York is an aspiration;
while to live permanently in Chicago
what shall we call it? A dream,
perhaps, which may possibly some
time come true, if it doesn't de!gen
crate into a nightmare There was a
man once who declared that the world
was 70 better than a boarding-h house
anyway. He might have said, if he
had tried Chicago, that life there was
like boarding in an apartment in the
Ferris Wheel-Harper's Weekly.

MATRIMONY IN MASSACHUSETTS
Reasons Why Yankee Women Have
Long Outnumbered the Men.

The excess of women over men has
statistics of Massachusetts,, and since
Mormonism is not permitted to flourish
in that progressive state the natural
effect of this feminine surplus has
been an unusual number Of old maids.
The cause, says the New York Press, is
probably Horace Greely'S advice to
young men on the subject of going
west. The Massachusetts young man
has been going west ever since, but
we decline to believe that it is his
fault that the Massachusetts, young
woman has not gone west with him.
She stayed behind, not that she loved
the Massachusetts young man less, but
that she loved Massachusetts more, es-
peciaIIy Boston. But as the Massachu
sets young woman who did not go
west with the young man of Horace
Greely's day became an old maid she
missed the young man. She was left
TO lavish the wealth of affection upon
cats, birds and other pets. And thus
it happened that a Massachusetts old
maid, having nobody else to leave her
fortune to, recently left it to her pet
cat.
There are those who think the ten
dency of our time is toward a reduc-
ton in the ratio of marriages to the
population Of the marriages. In one
sense this is a result of the continual
improvement in the independence and
general social condition Of women.
Not only ere they no longer the slaves
of men, but they are not obliged to
tie themselves to men in order to get
q living. As civilization increases the
number of occupations in which skill
and tact and passive endurance makes
success, women, being often superior
in these respects, take possession of a
greater number of places and crowd

men out. The tables seem to be turn
ed against the inquiry of Miss Mona
Caird. rs Marriage Failure?'' This
question caused great deal of discus
sion in print few years ago. If it is
TO be answered in the affirmative
which heaven forfend-then it must
also be declared, on the strength of
the latest returns from Massachusetts
that singleneSS is failure. too. This
leaves the relative merits of marriage
and of SingleneSS just where they were
before Miss Mona Caird dared TO prick
the alleged bubble of matrimony with
her pen If IN Old maid who died rich
was. nevertheless. so circumscribed in
the wealth of affection and home life
as to be obliged TO enlow a cat. what
can be said of the success of old maids
who never get rich. even in money?

WORLDS FAIR BUILDINGS.
They VIII Not Be Pulled Down This
Year at Least

Chicago, Nov. 25.-There will be no
pulling down of worlds fair buildings
this year or next, and probably not
for several years to come. The South
park commissioners have agreed to
take them off the hands of the exposi-
ton company and allow them to stand,
the latter to surrender them clear and
clean to the commissioners, be released
from their liabilities and pay over to
the commissioners a sum sufficient to
maintain them for as long time as
possible.
This action on the part of the South
park board will open up way for the
organization of a local company to con-
duct an exposition in the buildings for
two or three years at the least. Such
a movement is being talked about and
may be put into execution. The first
steps toward the formation of a new
exposition company are expected to be
taken in few days.
