these organizations. The oldest
of these clubs is an exclusively
woman's affair-the Ladies' Literary
club, which has just celebrated its
twcnty-frst anniversary. The club
has membership of 500 and $50 more
.ames are on the list waiting for adj
mission as vacancies occur. II owns u
handsome club house. one of the first
women's clubs erected in this country,
and is thoroughly conservative in it's
policy. Rarely does the literary club
give entertainments outside of its own
circle, yet the club house Is open daily
during the season and the members
meet there to chat and read. Mrs. j..
p. Rowland was last year its president
and she is now in Europe to spend the
summer and the club is closed duricg
the summer waiting for September to
resume Under Mrs. Bissell's direction as
president. The West Side Ladies' Lit
erary club and the South End club are
patterned after the older institutions
and their aims and policies are much
the same.
The younger, more aggressive and
more democratic club is the st. Cecilia
society, whose aim is not literature,
but the study of music. This society
has about GOO members, and this has
been swelled to 500 since the new club
house was thrown open in June. The
new club house completed represents
an investment of $4,000, and it had all
been paid for except about $4,000
when the ladies moved in. The society
is made up of women exclusively, but
men are admitted as honorary or sup
porting members. During the last
three years the society has given many
balls, receptions, parties, entertain
ments and concerts, all to swell the
building fund, and in most of its vent
nres has Eeen successful. Mrs. Edwin
+. Uhl, wife of Assistant Secretary of
State Uhl, has been the president of the
society for three years, and at the an
nual meeting in June Mrs. +. Il. f.
Carpenter was elected to succeed her.
She has been in Washington several
months, and her duties have devolved

man life was ebbing quietly away from
the companionship of husband and
friends. Mary Gust was dying. A
week before, she had observed Just
above that graceful curvature which
divides the neck from the chest small
throbbing tumor. 1t was painless,
and at first gave no alarm. 1t grew
rapidly and throbbed more violently;
and, from mero precaution, DIR. Ross
was called. He D, onounced it aneurism

Thank you, doctor. Please call

Aunt Ruthy was sent for. She was
Mortified. Mary Gust put out her hand,
took that of Aunt Ruthy, and with a
smile of calm resignation said:

The big tears dropped from Aunt
Ruthy's eyes as she replied:
"Why, Nary"
"Dr. Ross says a large artery is
broken, and nothing can be done"
ThisAvas said without alarm, and
with an expression of countenance
which fairly shone. Aunt Ruthy ex-
amined the tumor with much Interest
and tenderness. 1t was throb-
bing rhythmically with the
heart. The surface above i,
was slightly livid and very tense.
Finding that Mrs. Gust did not suffer,
Aunt Ruthy said:

had observed that fact. "S'pose Little

'Dar you goes gin, said Winny the

"Mammy knows morn all de res"
"'Taint Joe; faint; knows faint"
And, in manner quite as logical as
this of Winny and Old Nanny, the
argument went round among the old
colored people--especially the women.
Among the men, there was more re-
serve, but no less interest. They did
not know how soon the newcomer
might take control and WELD the lash,
and they were more anxious to be on
the winning side than to be right
which was also true of many with
whittier faces.
And so the interest deepened among
all parties as the day of the trial ap'
preached.

ATRIcK OF THE TRApE.-A bill has
been introduced. in the English parlia-
ment to compel retail meat dealers In
that country to tag American beef. It
is vastly to the interest of the Ameri-
can industry that the bill pass, for our
meat is superior. The London Meat
Trades Journal takes the view that II
American meat is tagged it will en-
nance in value to an equality with
English beef. Shrewd dealers have
been selling American beef as home
grown. 1t is more toothsome. There
is great opposition to the bill among
the meat producers of England, as It
would seriously cripple the home in-
dustry. Western breeders should pre-
pare for greater foreign demand by
using the best beef brands Elk.

A Maine Hermit.

A Waterville hermit gets well down
TO the limit of subsistence, for he lives
on mush and molasses almost exclusive
ly. He cooks his mush in big kettle
and his method is the beau ideal of
simplicity. Gradually layers of mush
harden and stick to the kettles sides.
Succeeding accrctions at last nearly
FIJI the cavity and then the hermit has
festal day of publication. He cants
the kettle over fire and burns her
out" Then we're ready for more of
the dietary mush. China Hermit God
dard also cooked all of his curious COM
pounds in u kettle, bat he kept it pas
SADLY clean. The China hermit, how
ever, wore no pants unless on strictly
dress occasions. and therefore stands
the unique and unapproachable even
by the Waterville misanthrope of mush,
molasses and moody modification.

Pyramid Lodge No. 10, X. OF r., had a
very large attendance at the last regular
meeting. Brother Meisner made an in
teresting talk sandwiched with wit
enough to make the members laugh
until their sides ached. He surprised
them with the statement that he sat in
a lodge composed entirely of 300 Past
Chancellors. At another lodge the altar
wars made of electric lights shining
through stained glass and showing the
colors of the Order. He visited a lodge
of the 400 of CANADA and found the
jewels were made of gold and silver. He
visited a Temple of Pythian Sisters at
Montreal and he, one deaf man and one
dude were the only men present with
600 Sisters. The Temple has a member
ship Of 800. Brother Meisner met with
courtesy wherever he went, realized the
greatness of the Order, was proud to
belong to the Knights of Pythias, and
grateful for being a member of No. 10.
He was heartily %applauded.

A meeting was held at Reno this
week having for its object the organiza.
ton of a Republican club. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
ResolUed: That we, the undersigned
voters of Washoe county take steps at
once looking to the organization OF a
Republican Club at Reno, and invite
other precincts in the county to do the
same; believing as we do that past and
present events demand of all good citiz-
ems to be up in arms against further
~tariff-tinkering of the party in power,
which is aided and adetted by other
parties, clothed with less power, claim
ing silver as their shibboleth, but in
reality injuring the course of bi-metall-
ism by their course and retarding State
growth generally ; and he it further.

address to the people of Nevada inviting
honest and fair minded men of all par
ties to join with US in the overthrow Of
