The Two Kittens.

The once idea of learned woman, an- gular, absorbed, unmindful either of the decorums of social usages or the charms of dress and manner, has long since given way before better acquaint- ance with our fascinating women schol- ars, artists, professors, physicians, archi- tects and ''divines fact, so con- plely changed from ''all that'' primi- tive motion, as Moliere himself would admit, that he could no more write ''Les Precieuses Ridicules' of any pro- fessional women than he could unwrite his ''Tartuffe, !" written for all time. It Is an open secret that within one of the women's clubs in Philadelphia are two ladies who are known to one of their intimates as the two kittens They are so playful, so graceful, so apparently unstrenuous in their casual conycrsa- ton, so dainty, so thoroughly bewitch- ing ill their gayety, and yet upon one Of these ladies will the university this year place its dignified "degree, " and upon the other has long rested the dig nifty of a presiding officer, with all the rules of "ordef' and parliamentary pro- cedure at her finger ends.

ssThe Lamb Gourd1

. The Duke of Holstein, in his ''Trav- els In Muscovy and Persia" (1636l gives a full account of wonderful vegetable growing in the neighborhood of the city of Samara, Russia, and known as the ''lamb or sheep gourd. The duke says; .'It most resembles lamb in all its members and on that account is called the lamb gourd. It changes place in growing as far as the vine or stalk will reach, and wherever it turns the grass withers. When it ripens, the stalk withers, and the outward rind is covered with kind of hair which the Musco vites use instead of fur. They showed us some of these skins, which were GOV cred with soft wool, not unlike that of a lamb newly weaned."
 Scaliger also speaks of the ''lamb gourd' ill his works In one chapter he says that the queer vegetable continues to grow as long as grass is plentiful, but that when the grass falls the ''pore creetyr dyes frome lac of nourishmAnt. Y" He also says that the wolf is the only animal that will feed upon it.-St. Louis Republic.

TWO OF SIX SAVED.
FOUR MEMBERS OF A BOATING PARTY DROWNED NEAR BREWSTeRS, NY.

A M,.step by One of the Men Threw the
 ocoapsnts of the Rowboat Into the Deep
 water-The Uncle of Two of the Girls
 Saw Them Drown From the shore.
 BREwsTERs, x. +, June 1i.-There is sorrow today in Brewsters and in lilly Foster Mines, a little village on the north shore of Reservoir ID. Six young men and women went boating on the reservoir, and of the six only one man and one woman are alive They chung to the boat when it was capsizcd through the carelessness of two of its occupants. The others sank at once. The victims of the accident were: Bessie Blaney, Brewsters; Maggie Blancy, Brewsters, Martin McClusker, lilly Eos ter Mines; Thomas Scanlon, lilly Foster Mines
 Those who were rescued were Katie Nc Clusker, a sister of Martin, and Patrick Marooney. also of Tilly Foster Mines
 The Blanoy girls were sisters, and nsi- ther was yet 20 years old. Maggie was employed by Philip Diehl, the village bak- CT and Bessie by William NJ. Branch, a New York manufactures, whose summer residence Is in Brewsters.
 Rowed About the Reservoir.
 Reservoir D. the scene of the disaster, is part of the New York city system of waterworks. 1t Is about two miles from this place. The Blaney girls went to Til ly Foster Mines, on the north shore of the reservoir, to visit the McCluskers, aud met there the other members of the Ill fat cd boating party.
 After rowing for awhile in the placid reservoir McClusker and Marooney tried to change seats As they attempted to pass the boat keelcd over on McClusker s side. He was by far the heavier of the two and had placed his weight too near the gunwale. The water poured into the boat in an instant, and the others, fear, ing just what occurred second later, rose to their feet McClusker had lost his bal ance, and as he stepped backward to re- gain it the boat went over.
 Marooney was thrown clear of the boat, and he struck out for the shore. He was the only one who could swim. Katie Mo Clusker seized the boat and contriyed to keep her head above water. Her brother, the Blaney girls and Scanlon at once sank, and. according to both rescuers and sur. vivors, did not reappear. The water therS is 45 feet decp

STRIKE SETTLED.
COMPROMISE SCALE AGREED TO AT
 THE COLUMBUS CONFERENCE.

The Operators Granted an Advance, and the Miners Promised That Work Would
 Be Resumed June 1S-The Violence Not
 Yet Stopped.
 COLUMBUS, O., June 12.-A compromise has been agreed upon by the miners and operators, and work is to be resumed next Monday. The compromise was on a basis of to cents for Ohio and 65 cents for west ern Pennsylvania
 The agreement Is not to take effect un- til next Monday, June IS, the miners de- string to have week to submit the mat ter to the various districts, as much op- position to the compromise is expected, and the miners will have to be prepared to accept it. The agreement was later sub mitted to the joint conference for ratitica- ton.
 At the joint conference the agreement was ratified. A. A. Adams, president of the Ohio miners, who was a member of the scale committee, refused to sign the agreement. The settlement however, is final. The scale agreed upon Is as fol lows:
 The Compromise Scale.
 Pittsburg thin vein, 69 cents; thick vein, 56 cents; Hooking valley, 50 cents; Indiana bituminous, 50 cents; Indiana block, 70 cents; Streator, Ills, 6215 cents for summer and 70 for winter; Blooming ton. Ills, = E for summer and S5 for win ter; La Salle and Spring Valley, Ills, 21S for summer and so for winter.
 Other sections in northern Illinois fields have prices relative to the above. Coal in Pittsburg districts going east to tidewater shall pay the same mining price as that paid by the Pennsylvania Gas and West moreland Coal companies The scale of prices will be in effect and bind both par ties thereto beginning June IS, 1894, and continuing until May l, 1895, provided that the above named scale of prices for the Pittsburg districts be generally recog niZed and observed.
 The operators and miners shall cooper ate in their efforts to secure a general ob- servance of said prices, and if during the period covered by this agreement a gen eral recognition of the prices herein named cannot be secured either party to this agreement may call meeting of the joint board of arbitration and determine wheth- CT the agreement has been sufficiently com piled with to warrant its continuance.
 The Effect Uncertain.
 While it has been announced that the agreement reached by the operators and miners in their joint conference in this city is final, its effect upon the miners re- mains to be seen. The fact that fully a week will intervene before the agreement takes effect leads to the belief that the de- termination of the miners to accept no compromise can be notified.
 A majority of the operators left for their homes immediately after the ad- journment of the conference, and those who could be seen were confident that the agreement would bring about speedy settlement of the strike. Robert Bailey of Pittsburg said it was doubtful how the 5S bolting operators in his district would take to the agreement, but he was inclined to the belief that ajority of them would fall into line. ....-.

The mines will now be reopened, and the militia will act as guard as long as protection is needed. The mine own CTS will pay s3 for eight hours work.

Columbian sI stamps cornerrd.

Stamp collectors have learned with sur prise that New York firm has bought up all the $l stamps of the Columbian issue and raised the price to $s.5o apiece. It is said the speculators learned that only about 10000 of the sl stamps re- mained unsold and purchased them in small lots from postmasters all over the country. The full issue of Columbian stamps at their face value is worth SIG. 2i, and it is estimated that there is a demand for a0,000 full sets. No set will be complete without tho $l stamp.
