ago about the organization OF the popu-

Somebody Else Was kicked.

A young Poughkeepsian. few days
since, picked up a friend on Market
street and TOOK him home t. lunch
without notice to the formers wife.
She called him one side and explained
that there were only a dozen of raw
oysters and when their friend had
eaten his quota of four he must not be
asked to take more. All this the hus-
band promised to remember.
When the guest had taken his four
oysters the host asked him to take
some more. The wife looked distressed
and the guest declined. The husband
insisted that his friend should have
more. The wife looked as if she were
in agony, and the guest firmly refused
to allow the rest of the oysters to be
brought from the kitchen. Later the
wife said to her husband:
How could you urge him to have
more oysters when I explained to you
that there weren't any more?"
81 am very sorry said the penitent
husband, "but I forgot all about it,
What do you suppose [ was kicking
you under the table for?" retorted his
wife.
But you didn't kick mer' said the
usband.-Poughkeep News-Press.

The ~smart Set, in EnrIand

Skirt dancing, high play and the per-
petrating of practical jokes seem to be
the leading amusements of country
house parties in England. November
is pre-eminently the month for big
shoots, and the country houses are full
to overfiowing just now. In quiet hous-
es moderate hours are kept gambling
Tor heavy stakes is at discount and
certain sobriety prevails from sun
rise to sundoWn. In other houses,
however, the fun wakes fast and furi-
Gus. No dancing is considered sport
unless it be of nature imported from
the Ga1ety, such as the unforgetabIe
pas de quatre. A few smart girls go
SO far as to take unto themselves the
yoluminous skirts of the serpentine
frock and try to initiate Miss I,eftie
Lir1d's dexterities. After explaining
that the serpentine skirts are made
out of mo les than a hundred yards
of the very finest Chinese sillapr crepe
cut in triangular pieces to give the
appearance Of an infinity of yards"
our authority resumes: at is regreta-
bic to add that under some roofs pretty
heavy gambling is INDUCED in, and
baccarat and nap with high stakes
have as many women as men votaries.
to say nothing of practical joking
of suspiciously rowdy sort, such as
apple-pie bed-making boody-tra piping.
A certain most distinguished lady
amused herself one whole evening by
standing in gallery and throwing
pillows on the mems heads as they
passed in and out of the smoking
room. "-Argonaut.

To diagnose the case.

THE SALARY QUESTION.
Mayor Baskin Waiting for it to be
Settled.

Mayor Baskin did not submit any
appointments at last nights session
of the city council His honor stated
that he WOULD make no more ap-
pointments until the council had set
tied once and for all the matter of
salaries and official combinations, in
consequence of which there will be
many offiee-seekers on the anxious seat
for one or two weeks to come The
members of the city council have been
unable up to date to agree among
themselves on the salary and official
propositions-the differences are too
wide. Several of the councilmen favor
heavy reductions in not only the sal
aries of the city employees, but the
number of men in the departments,
while the others are of the opinion
that the men are drawing little enough
and their numbers can not be reduced
without passing the safety line.
A five minutes caucus was held last
night after the adjournment of the
council, at which the same old ques-
tons were discussed. Another execu-
tive session will be held tonight.

cause d serious uneasiness in many
parts Of the world, and is a great mis-
fortune for several reasons. The chief
virtue of the monster exhibition is not

The Fish Hawks Tactics.

Careful observers have noticed that
a fish hawk, after securing it's prey,
will often rise very high in the air.
drop the fish, quickly swoop down up
on and seize it, and then fly home
ward. The object of this, as explained
by an old skipper in the lower bay of
New York, is to get the fish thead on, .
as a hawk will never fly with the tail
of its prey foremost So, if it has
caught it that way, giving it twirl
it drops it and seizes it again with
the head pointing in the right direction

Thoroughly Americanized.

Signor Tagliapetra, the famous bari
tone singer, is one of the not incon-
siderable number of Italian artists who
made America the land of their adop-
ton and New York their new abiding
place. In fact, the Signor is so thor
ough an American now that he is
rarely heard in his native tongue, and
has made his reputation here by his
work in English opera. He is a large,
finely built man, as one with such a
voice ought to be, and he is one of the
most thoroughly compankonable and
enjoyable acquaintance that man
can make in lifetime. Everybody
knows him along upper Broadway,
where he has been a familiar figure for
years, and every night he may be
found among the newspaper boys at
the Anonymous club, of which he is
the most popular member. Indeed, the
boys would hardly think it worth
while to keep the club running if
