PROCEEDING TO BUSINESS.
AT the close Of the reading the board prompt
ly proceeded 10 business. Ii was the same
board as last year, save that Alderman
Mahoney's familiar face was not there: in his
chair, modest but determined. sat the new
member from Ward 8, Joseph w. Nealley.
Throughout he didn't say much. but II was
plain that he was doing considerable thinking.
An occasional glance at the member on bis
left seemed to indicate that he was sizing nm
the obstreperous but victorious member from
the north ward, and laying low for weak
point In that valiant warriors armor.

Girls Objected to the Uniform.

The Pacific Hotel company has issued
an order that the girls presiding over its
lunch counters and it's dining rooms
must wear a blue serge dress, rather
loose fitting and reaching just below
the knee, and also a blue cap, sailor fash
ion. Miss Mamie Kelly and Miss Lou
Koogle, who serve the coffee and pie
at the Omaha Union depot, objected to
donning the uniform and rather than
do so resigned. The girls say the uni
form is neither becoming nor pretty and
is far from modest. 1t is understood the
girls along the Union Pacific object to
wearing it and will quit before they
will do so. In speaking of the matter
to a friend, the girls said they thought
that it was perfectly horrid. Omaha

~w to Smell the Rose,

1t takes half a lifetime to learn
how to do anything perfectly. Few
know how to inhale the perfume of

ture the fine fugitive first of all"
aroma by the slightest and most deli
cate possible inhalation. If you jam
your nose down into the flower, you
miss the the essential altar and get a
rank smell of the petals and leaves,
a very different thing from the fra

Harriet Hosmer,s Gift,

The Art institute of Chicago has re-
ceived a gift from Harriet Hosmer of
the cast she made in 1858 of the clasp
ed hands of Robert Browning and his
wife. This is the cast of which Haw-
thorne wrote in 1.-The Marble Faun,"
''It s%ymbolizes the individuality and
heroic union of two high, poetic lives"
The autograph of Elizabeth Barrett
Browning, Rome, May, 1858" is on the
wrist of one; Robert Browning,
Rome, " on the wrist of the other. Miss
Hosmer refused in England an offer of
So, 900 for this unique cast.

Serious Business,

The following description of a Boer
writing his name is quoted from Mr..
Montague's Tales of a Nomad." 1t
is not impossible that some readers,
even in the United States, may rec
ognize the picture:
In the old days the Boer seldom
used his pen, and when he did there
was a regular commotion in the
house.
"Hushl Be quiet, all of you. Drive
out the ducks, and the geese, and the
pigs, and the fowls. Father is going
to write his name"
And then the old gentleman, with
elbows squared on the table, would
seize the pen, with a flourish, and
putting on a determined look, as if
he were going to tackle an adversary,
would bend down his head till it
nearly touched his left arm, write
his name, with many a splutter, and
then, throwing down the pen and
pushing back the chair, would look
round with an air of mingled pride
and resignation and say:
IT have done it."-Youth's Com
paniOn.

"'Pets?'

A Step In Advance In France.

Nine. Henri Schmohl, the valiant
champion of women in France and
foundress of The Avant Courriere, has
won what may be considered as a pre-
paratory victory that BODIES well for the
eventual success of her campaign in the
cause of feminine reform. NJ. Goirand,
a deputy and a lawyer by profession,
has just brought in a bill e~mbodying
the two essential reforms which The
Avant Courriere is intended to further.
AS will be remembered, these two all
important 7 forms are the repeal of the
law by which no Frenchwoman can act
as witness to any legal deed and the
passing of a French married women's
property act. Of course NJ. Goirand's
bill may be thrown out, bat the mere
fact hat a bill of the kind should be
put before the house at all is a great
step in advance.

WAYS of Cooking Trout.

The ideal way of cooking trout is the
simplest. Choose fish weighing about a
quarter of a pound. After cleaning
them wipe them we'll and lay them up
on a plate with a tablespoonful of melt
ed butter and a little pepper.
After rolling the fish well broil them
for about five minutes on the flesh side
and two on the other and serve them
without delay. Prepare trout in exact
ly the same way and wrap them in
writing paper that has been thoroughly
soaked in melted butter, after first lay
ing a very thin strip of larding pork I'M
der the fish. The paper should be tied
loosely over the fish, so that there is
only one thickness between it and the
heat; her lay the fish on their envelopes
in a baking pan INC bake them in a hot
oven for 25 minutes. Serve them in
their envelopes, removing the strings
alone to insure their being eaten hot
and in perfection, is the advice Of a
writer in the New York Tribune.

Drummond on the Ascent of Woman.

Professor Drummond, whose "As-
cent of Man" has been attracting so
much attention, is also a believer in the
ascent of woman In a speech at Haddo
House, Lord Aberdeen's place, the other
day, he remarked that woman had been
put through a marvellous discipline dur
ing the long night of history to teach
her the virtues of unselfishness, tender
ness, patience, compassion and love, so
that she might become the teacher Of
the world, and it was quite certain, by
all the laws of science and all the ira
ditions of the worlds past, that the
great factor in the future evolution of
society must be the ascent of woman"

A Case of Mistaken Identity.

"Many men have been taken for
somebody else of prominence, but I
doubt if any one but myself can
boast of having been mistaken for
the angel Gabriel" said Senator
Palmer. "It vas this way: While I
was military governor of Kentucky
a disturbance occurred in some town
in the interior. l was in another.
There was nc train, no saddle horse,
no buggy OF carriage. The only sort
of vehicle available was big gilded
circus chariot left by some stranded
show company. I didn't like it, but
there was nothing else, and in I got.
I cut a great dash as I drove through
the small town. People turned out
in droves to see me pass. When [
left the town behind and reached the
plantations, the negroes saw me and
stared with open mouths. They fol-
lowed me, keeping at some distance,
for they had never seen such a splen-
did vehicle. They kept on till after
awhile they were joined by an old
white haired preacher, who, on seeing
me and my gilded chariot, raised his
arms on high and his eyes, too, and
with a voice that stirred all within
hearing cried:
"'Bress de Lord, de day oh judg-
ment am cum, an dis gen1'man an
de angel Gabriel hisself. Brefren,
down on yo' knees an pray, fo' yo'
hour am hyar.'"-Chicago Post.

English Coifures.

A popularity of English women is
the wearing of elaborate coifures. No
where is SO much false hair worn as in
England. 1t is made up in all sorts of
ingenious ways to be pinned on bodily.
The fashion of parting the hair and
wearing the little curl in the middle of
the forehead so prevalent here is not
seen there. Instead the fine frizzes worn
by the Princess of Wales and her daugh-
tiers are initiated by most of the sex.

A Methodist Pillar Fallen.

A father in Israel in the person of
Rev. Samuel Woodbury. has paid his
last debt and been gathered to his
fathers. He was a pioneer preacher
of the Methodist church in this state
aud had been preaching continuously
for upwards of fifty years. He has
filled many pulpits in the state. He
was pastor of the church at Ocala and
at Citra since the war. He died at
Quincy last Saturday in his 8lst year.
We heard him preach sermon thirty
four years ago. Some boys had been
creating disturbance and he began
his sermon as follows: II had rather
light torch in the blazing flames of
hell-fire than disturb the congregation
of God. He leaves five children, all
grown, and the whole state of Florida
to mourn at his bier.
