From the rear windows of an office
building in this city the clerks saw
girl come out into the back yard OF q
tenement house with a pair of soiled
white slippers in her hand. Her
hair was all knotted up in curl
l,apers in readiness for social festiv-
ties IN the evening. She set down
the slippers and, returning into the
house, reappeared with a saucer and
a paint brush. Then she painted
the slippers, and they looked the
color of weak coffee and milk. EARLY
in the afternoon she reappeared and
painted them again. Then they
looked nearly white. At . o'clock in
the evening she painted them third

Great Britain has long had the
unique distinction of being the only
nation which docs not display the ma
tional flag over the house of parlia-
ment. Protest and appeals from va
rious patriots have been without avail
the government at last taking refuge
behind the excuse that no money WAS
appropriated for the purpose. A
member of parliament offered to fur
nish the funds, whereupon the gov
eminent gave in, and few days ago
it was announced in the house, OF
commons that in future the national
flag (the union jack, not the roya
standard) will be hoisted on the VIC
toria standard of the houses of par
lament during the sessions OF parlla'

Tt was Old Mutton.

A cargo OF mutton was sold IN L1V-
erpool the other day which had been
killed nearly year before. A sail
ing ship named the Wellington sailed
from New Zealand on May y, 1898,
with a cargo of 10000 frozen car
casses of mutton and some other
things. Off Cape Horn she met very
bad weather, and was so much dam
aged that she had to put into Rio for
repairs. The Brazilian war was 60
ing on, and she had to wait there SIX
months before she could get necessary
repairs, and sailed for Liverpool on
January a. April 5 she arrived at
the end of her voyage, and the NUT
ton found in very good condition.

Do Noh Like the Idea.

Farmers in Maryland and Della
ware slowly and unwillingly re-
linquish the idea of growing wheat
and corn in competition with the
West and half sorrowfully admit
that their lands must in time come
to form a market garden for the
great cities of the Atlantic seaboard.
There is an ld-fashioned notion in
Delaware and upon the Eastern
shore that it is more respectable to
grow wheat in sixty-acre fields than
half dozen vegetables in small
plots and the minute peasant farm
ing of France, Belgium and Holland

The Russian ministry Of justice is
considering a system OF providing
state paid peoples attorneys for the
gratuitous defense of the poor in Grim
inal and civil cases. The argument
is that wherever the state provides a
prosecutor it ought also to provide an
advocate for the accused. This prac-
tice already exists in Au8tro-Hungary
in the form of an ex-oHicio counsel,
but this is for criminal cases only.
An association exists in Vienna to
