Why 1t Is ga Tabbic Cat.v

Some writer's on the curiosities Of
animal nomenclature tell us TINT tho
reason we call feline of certain
markings of color ''tabby" cat is be-
cause Tabitha was the goddess of the
erooked-clawed species. Wagner's
Names and Their Meaning, although
it has splendid department on tho
nicknames of birds, does not refer to
those applied to the animal species mt
nli, therefore it will be of no use to
consult That work to find out why u
"tabby" cat bears its unique name, or
why "Jerusnlem" donkey isso called.
In curious old work printed in Lon
don, in 1866 entitled, ''Names Ap-
piled to Animate Things" 1 find tho
following, which seems TO explain tho
tabby cat enigma: ''Thc terme Cab
bic Cat is derived from Atab, famous
streete i'll Bagdad, cittie of the ORR
ent. This streete is inhabited by the
manufacturers of silken stuff called
'atabi, the waved markings of the
watered silke resembling cats coat.
From that we call all cats SO marked

Women and Candy.

"Tho sweetest creatures in creation
are the New York women" said tho
superintendent of big factory tho
other afternoon to New York World
reporter. 81 have met the women of
the world, studied their tastes and OBJ
served their manners, and 1 declare
that no city on earth hns rs mnny low
ers of sweets rs New York. We are ac-
quaintcd with II few ladies', and do You
know how much candy they eat in n
day? Eight thousand pounds.
"Of that quantity, 5000 pounds are
chocolates and the rest is made up of
tnffy, nut bars and buttor-scotch, as
sorted bonbons, nugat, tablets and
fruit and cream almonds. The mo-
lnsscs candies are swallowed by the
girls in pinaforas, school girls cat tho
bonbons and nugat, society girls fancy
the chocolates and almonds, and wives
and mothers buy chocolates and cream
lozenges. Lime tablets are sent to sea
to complete tho pantry supplies of the
floating palaces, and the tablet of
Glove, lemon, orange, flaxseed and
licorico go to the candy counters in
the city drng stores.
at has been roughly estimated by
authorities on the subject that the
New York women cut between 45, 900
and 80, 600 pounds of fresh candy II
day, or an average of 17,155, 900
pounds n year. This has nothing to
do with the output for tho country or
foreign trade; for New York candies
nro the finest in the world, and they
go all over the world"

TIE DIa SKIRT HOOK.

If moro women understood the value
of the big dresshook their skirts would
hang better than they do. Nine out
of every dozen dresses in the crowd
are shorter in front than they should
be. This ugly nbruptness. says the
New York World, can be remedied by
sewing q dresshook on the belt line,
on the outside and in front of tho
waist. If the skirt is heavy, two may
be needed to keep it from creeping up.
If there is no belt to the costume the
handkerchief, II brooch or rosetto of
ribbon will conceal it, and at the same
time afford one of those feminine
touches that men adore SO much.
The best oorsets always have hooks
in front and on the sides of the waist
that hold the skirt bands in check,
but, rs many of the dresses are mado
with round waists and shirt waists, n
hook on tho bodice is indispensable
for fnt women. Brass hooks may be
had Mt tho rate of dime n dozen.
those made of French gilt sell Mt
twenty-five cents cach and silver ones
are about the same price. jewelers.
and II fcw of the dry goods merchants
have i'll the corset gold sl1irthooks, but
they are So each. Tho brass hooks
answer every purpose, however, and
they should be used by every woman
who prides herself on wearing nice
looking dresses.

EMINENT WOMEN LAWYERS.

In tho Law Congress lately in scs-
sion in Chicago an important part was
assigned to two women, namely, DIR.
Emily Kempin, of Zurich University,
Switzerland, and Miss Mary A. Greene.
of Providence, r. l., and Boston, rep
resentative of the women lawyers of
this country. The study of the law
was originally taken up by Miss Greene
MS n course enabling her to manage
her own affairs with intelligence. She
entered tho Law School of Boston
University, and there completed the
full course of three years. The value
of the diploma received by the candi-
date was enhanced by the addition of
the "magna cum laude." A few
months later Miss Greene opened IN
Office in Boston, where she proved her
ability us q lawyer of high rank. She
distinguished herself by an exceeding
~ able argument before the Judiciary
Committee of the Legislature of the
State iii support of petition for the
validity of contracts between husband
and wife, and which WIS subsequently
published by tho American Law Re-
view.
Through delicacy of constitution
Miss Greene has been prevented from
engaging extensively in court work,
her general line of effort being of a
literary character. Her acquisitions
include thorough knowledge of the
French language, translation in
serial form, entitled 'Tn Femme Ad-
vocat," being one of the excellent il
lustrations of her work in this direc-
ton.
The foreign delegate to the Law
Congress, DIR. Emil Kempin, received
her degree from the law department
of the University OF Zurich, became
nm instructor in New York City, end
was Immediately afterward appointed
to teach law in the University of the
City of New York to class of young
women. She continued in the last
named service for year, with hel
family in Switzerland, and was after
ward appointed to position in the

The London police have under con.

for pedestrians. 1t is in most of our

Picayune, apretty well understood and
accepted social rule, and is quite gen.
orally observed, but it has no legal au-
thority, and tho man who turns to the
left and endeavors to force himself
through an advancing crowd is guilty
of no legal offense, however seriously
he may discommodc other people. Tn

not unusual on Canal street, declares
our New Orleans contemporary, sucl
conduct is the occasion of much seri
GUS confusion and annoyance. Tic
rule of the road is n good one, and il

most us sore a point with tho Duke of

QUEEN vIcronrA's MARRIAGE rnovrpp.


Victoria, like her grandson William,
is certainly tho greatest matchmaker
of the day. Not long ngo she wished
to make up IL marriage between lady
and gentleman of her court. The
former did not seem to SEQ it and
proved rebel to tho royal advice,
quoting st. Pauls famous words: "Ho
who mnrries doeth well, but he who
does not marry doeth still better. -
'My child" said the queen, "bo con-
tcnt i'll doing well let those who can
do better"
Her majesty performed ono of her
most graceful acts in inviting the
brides mother to ride i'll the same
coach with her Mt the recent wedding
of her grandson Prince George, to
Princess May. This is such an i'm
mensc honor that nobody besides the
prince consort, royal princesses, the
mistress of the robes and the master of
tho horse have been able to boast of
it. 1t was certainly tho first time the
Duchess of Tecll had ever taken state
carriage drive with her august cousin
and tho invitation must have come as
the climax of everything to her royal
highness, who has been among the Inst
placed of the numerous great ones for
many year. Princess Beatrice for
onco gave up her usual seat in mamma's
coach and went on ahead with the
merely illustrious party, who we're
scarcely distinguishablo one from the
other in such n number of closed car
