SHE GAVE HIM THE GRIP.

And Thereby Caused Commotion in the
Theater.
From the Rochester Onion and Advertiser.
At the Lyceum Theater last night TIVE gen.
tlemen sat in the front row next to the orches-
ira. Directly behind them sat a gentleman and
his wife. A few moments before the curtain
went up one of the gentlemen in the front row
put his arm on the back of his companion's
seat. While talking to his friend he felt slight
pinch on the arm. On looking around he saw
that the lady behind him had turned to look up
to the balcony, and in so doing had placed her
hand on his arm. Realizing that she had done
SO unconsciously, he did not move his arm.
Soon. however. he felt hard pinch. Think
ing that the best way to call the lady's atten-
ton to what she was doing would be to ask if
was wanted the gentleman turned and
asked:
What is it, MADAME"
'Sir," said the lady, and Immediately the
husband bazed up.
What do you mean by speaking to my wife?'..
he demanded.
Don't mean anything" was the reply, "but
would like to know what your wife means by
pinchInS my arm
Then both men looked at the lady's hand.
which still rested on the arm. Both smiled,
became little nervous and apologized. Dur
ing the rest Of the performance the lady kept
her hand in her muff.

Mothering Sunday.

From tie Fittsburg Commercial Gazette.
Sunday was the fourth in Lent, a day recog-
nized in the English Church a holiday. 1t is
properly known as mid-Lent, but Familiarity as
Mothering Sunday among the countryfolk Of
the northern and western counties Of England.
During the preceding week there may be seen
in the bakery and confectionery windows Of the
hamlets OF Lancashire. Yorkshire, Cheshire,
Staffordshire. Herefordshire and Gloucester
piles of fancy cakes OF various sizes, but much
alike in shape and ornamentation. These
''simnel' cakes are bought BIZ every one, for
no. to have simnel cake on Mothering Sunday
would be much the same as Thanksgiving day
without a turkey in this country. Saturday is
the market day in the country towns, and when
the country folks bring in butter. eggs and
general produce for sale they will buy a simnel,
and, in addition, some little present for the
wife and mother, for it is mothers day in
every sense OF the word. The mother expects
to see all her children. married and single,
around her table, and whatever the fare may
be. there is always dish of ''furmety," of
which every one must partake. This was
originally made of wheat grains, first soaked,
then boiled in new milk and seasoned with
sugar and spices, but nowadays several other
fariraceous foods often take the place of the
wheat grains. The simnel is cut after dinner
and along with it is drunk glass of home made
wine.

Scientific Teaching.

FROM the C.ilcaRo POst-
Science teaching should be progressive and
should start at the foundation; as, for instance,
in the building of house. The first stuff is
concrete. which Is lime and gravel. To make
lime. limestone chalk is needed, also fuel to
quicken or burn it; requiring the description Of
wood, the growth OF plants aad the process of
combustion Coal ashes, cinoers. breeze fol-
low. The formation of CLAW, marble granite,
sandstone and plaster comes next In this
house will be needed iron. lead. zinc, tin plate
Then glass, glue, whitewash putty. These ma
terials should be handled by the pupil and the
processes shown by means Of apparatus. No
philosophizing should vet be done. About
here introduce him to the truly awful revelation
that In all the universe. as far can be learned
there IS but limited number Of prime s.uffs-
the elements Now fire, flame. water may be
carefully studied Charcoal. peat, gas, matches
and their substances come excessively. Then
the papering, painting, glazing. vanishing
Furnishing would embrace numerous manu-
features and pro cesses.
The next division would concern the person
with chapters on clothing, food, washing. writ
ing. reading Clothing includes the textile
fabrics; food, the manufacture of bread which
would be an intellectual epic poem, explaining
the growth of wheat, the nature Of yeast, the
relationship between the constituents of wheat
and the body. The study of life and a flower is
more elevating than the most subtle game of
whist ever played Such u system should be in
roduced into elementary education into the
education OF school boards. not only that the
pupils may be more useful citizens. but that
they may have that knowledge which alone
gives happiness and never turns to bitterness
The knowledge Of the ways and beauties Of ma
tlre.

CREMATING GARBAGE.
How the Work is Done in New England
Cities.

How the Work is Done in New England
Cities.
From the Boston Herald
The consumption Of garbage by cremation
has been begun in quite a number Of places in
this country, and the one which is an object
lesson to our other cities in Massachusetts
and New England is the double-fre system
now in use in Lowell and in other'parts of the
country. This crematory is a brick structure
40 feet long, 10 feet wide and IL feet high, with
stack Is feet in height. The top of the fur
mace is reached by a platform, and the gar
bage is collected in carts and dumped down the
slopes into the feed holes in the top Of the
furnace. After the furnace has been charged
two fires are lighted. The flames pass from
the first fire to the garbage piled on the CRATES
and the gases and smoke attending tho COM
bustion then pass to the second fire, where they
are consumed. All the products OF the burn
ing of the garbage must pass through ono OF
these fires. We have not room for detailing
how this system is managed, but the results are
such that it works successfully wherever It has
been tried, and its adoption in many of our
large cities is apparently only a question Of
time.

with its bouquet the .'old ship of Zion was
really a new ship of flowers. and was success

medals and Bibles were awarded to some Of tho
scholars for faithful missionary work and the

The recent reports and counter reports from
Washington in regard to the President refusing
to reappoint the men who held Office under his
former administration, and also debarring all
editors and publishers of newspapers, have had
the effect of making the contest for the post
office at this place quite lively. Within the last
day or two several new candidates have doomed
up. The contest, though sharp, is not likely to
last long. as the time of the present incumbent
of the Office will expire about the first Of April

THE NEWSPAPER WOMAN.
She Has to Work Faithfully and Well and
is Judged by Her Merits.

Sne mas TO "Ork fa1fnruIly ana Well and
is Judged by Her Merits.
From Lippincott's Magazine.
1t has been loosely estimated that there are
Sc veral thousand newspaper women in this
country. In reality there are less than ESQ.,
There is distinction between newspaper writ
ing and writing for the newspapers, and the
young lady who "does little space work" in
the intervals Of her social or business en-
gagements was not considered in the compila-
Of these statistics.
The $50 writer's who have been considered
are newspaper women in the best sense Of the
word. They hold staff positions on journals Of
good standing, or they have had experience
which fits them for such positions: they have
learned to recognize news when they hear it
and they know how to present it to the public
in the most attractive form; they can Judge Of
its comparative value and the amount of space
it should be given in a newspaper; they can
edit their own copy If necessary; they know
something about a composing room, and can
distinguish between q form and piece Of type;
they have learned why it is not sheer waste of
material to write on but one side Of their paper;
they know that newspaper Office is not draw
ing room and that they cannot expect drawing
room manners in it; they have learned that the
highest compliment an editor can pay his
woman associate is to treat her as IL she were q
man, promptly reprimanding her for a blunder
and giving her a word Of praise for good work
IL he happens to think Of it. - .
Last and most important point OF ALL these
women earn their living with their pens. This
Is the crucial test. sLuck, pluck and influence
may keep one ahoat for a few months but the
editors Of today are not knowingly buying bad
copy. II one particular editor be disposed to
overlook the charming Miss Blanks little errors
Of fact and grammar, the copy readers, the as
sociste editors and the great power behind the
throne will soon throw q search light upon them

Forbidden to Visit Mary's Tomb.

From the London Telegraph.
Several lady and gentlemen Jacobites yisited
Westminster Abbey yesterday-the anniversary
Of the decapitation OF Mary Queen of Scots-for
the purpose of placing upon her tomb wrea.hs
Of flowers. But tine dean had given orders that
there was to be no admittance to the aisle of
King Henry Wis Chapel, aud the ''Legitimists''
and White Roseists' were, therefore, COM
PEELED to pay their homage from a distance and
TO content themselves with repeating the
adore, Implcro ct Liberas Me''-supposed to
have been written By the unhappy sovereign on
the eve OF her death-outside the iron gates.
The demorstrants made no unseemly disturb
ance. as they did last year, when told that their
Intentions could not be realized, but quietly
tramped with their flowers and wreaths through
the muddy streets to the statue of Charles I At
CharinG Cross, and placed their Memorial en-
oiems around the feet Of that equally unfortu-
