At the Nice Race Meeting.

A race meeting is much the same all
the world over, and the Nice gathering
can hardly be called the exception.
There is the same noisy crowd and
crush at the railway station-the races
are held at lie Var, some few miles out
Of Nice proper-and the familiar line
of beggars, blind, halt, lame and more
so, as ready with curses as blessings-all
the way from the station to the course.
The three card trickster, the fortune
teller and the whole brotherhood of the
ring, each with bag and board, the lat
ter bearing an English name, as rule,
are to be seen, each in his appro-
pirate place. The sun may shine with
greater regularity and brilliance and
the landscape with its slim rows of
eucalyptus trees look more delicate and
fragile than we are accustomed to, but
otherwise all has the appearance of the
correct card"
1t is a charming little course at LIE
Var, and in fine weather it would be
difficult to find anywhere a more repre-
sentative gathering of beauty and fash
ion than may be seen in the paddock on
big day.-Pall Mall Budget.

Profits In Champagne.

The returns are enormous when a

Brands that were in great demand o
few years ago are now dropping out o.

sold annually. Others have come to the
front with remarkable strides, and their
sales run up in the thousands. As many
as 1000 cases of a certain brand have
been sold in this country in one year at q

100000. Such q statement is enough to

JUDGE coFFINs FIRST CASE
Bluff That Was Called Down In a Most
uumiliating Manner.

uumiliating Manner.
The following story is told of Timothy
Coffin, who was for long time judge of
the New Bedford district: When a very
young man, he was retained in case Of
sufficient Importance to bring out almost
every resident of the town, so that
the little New Bedford courthouse was
packed when court was opened that
morning. Coffin had been secured as
counsel by the defendant. Although it
was his first attempt in open court, he
had made little or no preparation, think
ing that he could get through somehow
or other when the time came. Thus,
when the counsel for the defendant came
into court that morning, he was greatly
surprised, and no less agitated, to see the
big crowd and realize the wide public
interest in the trial at hand. He saw
that he had looked upon the case too
lightly. The prosecution was strong,
and he had made not even slight prep.
aration.
To lose the case meant the loss of
hoped for reputation. Could he afford to
commit this blunder yy displaying his
ignorance of the case? How could he get
out of ii? These were few of the ques-
tons that are known to have flashed
through the young lawyers head, for
afterward he himself told of the awful
perplezity of the hour. Being a shrewd
inventor, he devised plan. AS soon as
the court had been called to order and
the crier had said his little say he arose
and asked for postponement of the
trial, on the ground that he had just re-
ceived a telegram announcing the sud-
den and fatal illness of his mother, who
resided at Nantucket.
Scarcely had the words of this appeal
proceeded from the lips of young Coffin,
when an elderly woman quietly arose in
the balcony of the courtroom and gave
utterance to these words, Timothy,
Timothy, how many times have chas.
tiSed thee for lying"
Timothy recognized the sound of that
voice only too well. 1t was that of hiJ
mother. This being Timothy's first pub
lie case, the old lady had secretly come
up to New Bedford to see how well he1
son would do. Her presence was OF
course totally unknown to him. The
further developments need not be record
ed here. Suffice it to say that Timothy
Coffin in after years made sure that his
excuses would not be thrown back al
him by any member of his own family.

Dress of Short Women.

Women who are short must avoid
much trimming on their skirts, be
they stout or slender, as they are
shorter in proportion from the waist to
the feet, writes Emma NJ. Hooper,
in an article on Gowns For the New
Year." in The Ladies Home Journal.
For the same reason they must omit
wearing large plaids and designs. All
full portions of the waist must be mod
crate in size, as the sleeves, bertha,
belt and vest. The short, wide revers
now worn are becoming, also round
waists and short, pointed basques. Jack
ct fronts are in good taste, but the UNI
brella back basques give a short figure
a cut off appearance, as do tiny capes,
while a close fitting jacket adds APP
parently several inches. Materials
must be selected with view to making
the wearer look taller.

Plaster Casts.

My advice to those who contemplate
having a plaster cast taken Of their
heads and faces is don't. Two friends
of mine, amateur sCulptors, persuaded
me to let them take a cast of my face,
SO as to reproduce and inmortalize my
features. had no idea what the proc
ess was, and though l objected to it on
general grounds did not imagine that
any torture was connected with it.
Judge of my horror, then. when 1
found that my nostrils had to be stuffed
with cotton wool and that a nasty, sticky
substance was pressed tightly all over
my face so as to secure an impression
of my features. Nothing so utterly un-
comfortable could be imagined, and the
desire to scratch portions of the face
specially irritating was almost irresist-
IDLE. But the greatest agony was to
come. The young men had forgotten
in their hurry some precautions which
it is usual to take in order to mako it
easy to break the cast in tho center and
take it off IN two pieces.
Hence it failed to respond to their
efforts to make it split, and had to
wait until they could break it off in
sections. The heat in the interval was
oppressive in the extreme, and as they
pulled off large pieces of flesh and
enough hair to make a small wig my
sufferings can easily be imagined. If
| ever obtain fame, which do not an
ticipate, my features will have to be
immortalized in some way other than
by means Of a bust. st. Louis Globe

that Port Angeles has not only Won a big

For purely political reasons the Demo

average price obtained for all the lots sold
