Mrs. We Joins tho Church.

The members Of the Corean legation
in Washington are showing themselves
more progressive than any of the orien-
tails of the diplomatic corps. When the
Coreans arrived four years ago they
wore gorgeous silk gowns, long pigtails
and peculiar ventilated hats which look.
ed like fytraps. They were followed
about the city by mob Of small boys,
but they soon laid aside their oriental
garb. Over year ago the men at the
legation did away with their pigtails
and donned trousers. Then Mrs. Ye,
wife Of the minister, began wearing the
most fashionable gowns of American
make, and her home became social
center among the diplomats.
Mrs. Ye has now become member OF
the PRESBYTERIAN church. For some
time she and her husband have attended
the Church of the Covenant, occupying
seats directly back of President Harri-
son. 1t is only within recent days,
however, that Mrs. Ye had her name
entered as a member of the church.
She took thu step while visiting in a
small Virginia town near here. 1t Is
understood that the Corean minister
and other members of the legation will
follow the example of Mrs. Ye.-Chi-
cago News-Record.

The Bother OccaSioped by q Gar.

Many troubles and vexations were
caused by visit which was paid the
other day by the car to the military
camp at Izora. The latter place is a
village on the Neva, about ten miles
from st. Petersburg, and accessible by
water or rail. On the occasion of the
visit soldiers were placed on the rail
way. Not far from the city are num-
Der of mills, the workmen at which live
on the opposite side of the line, going
home daily for their meals. These work
men got to their work on Saturday morn
ing, but were not allowed to cross the
line again the whole day, being obliged
to go without their food or buy it in a
public house. No traffic was allowed.
Even people who had their own farm
lands on the sides of the railway were
forbidden to walk across. The trains
from Moscow were stopped and were
sent off all within quarter of an hour
of each other in the evening. The river
traffic was also entirely suspended. 1t
can be readily imagined what discom-
fort such suspension Of traffic occasioned,
and it is only Russian official who can
see the good of it.-London News.

A Cute Justice.

It was the law of the village that all show
men, itinerants and organ grinders must
get license before doing business there
One day a fat policeman, who had been or
the force about six months without doing
anything, concluded it was time he arrest ed
somebody. Soon afterward along came an
Italian with performing bear.
''Hev yez got yer license?" asked the pc
liceman.
NO" said the exhibitor of the bear.
Then yer my primers" said the police
man, and he triumphantly marched of
with them to the village station house, he
leading the Italian and the Italian leading
the bear.
Arraigned before the police justice, the
Italian pleaded guilty, and the Judge off
ciously gave him most severe and scorch
ing lecture on the enormity of his offense
ending by fining him $40, the full extent OF
the law.
The culprit had a lot of small change in
his pocket, but being mostly pennies and
nickels it only counted up to $50. For q
few moments the judge was in Il quandary
He didn't want to send the fellow 20 jai
nor yet lose the $40. Presently Il bright idea
struck lima happy solution of the prob
demand he said:
Here, officer, take this fellow out to ths
market place and let him perform with hi:
bear until he makes up the balance, ant
when he gets it drive him out of town.

Candles Burning in d Cemetery.

Every one of the several hundred
graves in the Cemetery of the Most Holy
Redeemer, on East Biddle street, has
been decked with flowers and lighted
with candles during the past two days.
The big congregations of st. Michaels
and st. James Catholic churches, who
use the cemetery, have decorated the
graves in honor of All Souls Day. For
two days men, women and children have
been coming and going, some on foot
and some in carriages, while many car
ried lunch with them and spent q whole
day with the dead. At nightfall the
candles sent up pale flutter of light
from each mound. The visit to the
burying place is a survival of the for
mer custom of celebrating mass and Of
fering prayers for the repose of the souls
in purgatory. Sun.

Ngackerel Will BE Cheaper.

Housekeepers will be glad to learn
that mackerel, salt or fresh, which for
the last few years has been an expensive
article of food, and which is most ap-
petizing and desired one as we'll, will
shortly be perceptibly cheaper Mack
erel it seems begin to run in our waters
about the middle of April, at first APP
pearing in immense numbers, but small
size. For years the fishermen gathered
them in at the earliest possible moment,
thereby preventing them from reaching
good growth, and wasting thousands
of small fish that were almost worthless
on the market.
To prevent this a law was passed pro-
hibiting the catching of mackerel until
the LIST of June. by which time a good
growth is obtained. AS, however, by
that date they have become scarce in
this vicinity, the price became CORE
spondingly high. Next April the five
year embargo expires, and we will have
abundant and cheap mackerel until the
fishermen again overreach themselves.
A fish dealer said recently: "It was
wicked the way these fish were wasted;
for twenty-five cents, a few years ago,
you could come into my shop and buy a
half peck of mackerel, small and big, as
they came. Then they grew so scarce
that about the time the law went into
effect a single plump fish brought one
dollar sometimes. There is talk now Of
passing law to prevent the sale of the
small CLAIMS. which have increased in
price from six dollars per barrel whole
sale to thirteen dollars on account of
their reckless use. That will make the
Little Necks an expensive luxury for
awhile, but it will save the breed"

Bicycling for Girls.

DR.. Richardson in Young Woman
speaks highly of cycling for girls, and
adds: II have no hesitation in saying
that the young woman who is about to
learn the art of cycling will do best by
choosing the bicycle from the first.
Women sit more gracefully on the BIZ
cycle than on the tricycle.; they work at
less labor, and, all things considered,
they work at less risk"
He remarks that women are hampered
by their dress in this exercise, but he
does not make so strong point of this
as he might fairly do. The ordinary
female skirt is quite unsuited for BIZ
cycling, though it may pass on the tri-
cycle.
If costume like that in which Herr
Stempel has induced many ladies of So
cial position, pupils of his gymnasium,
to give public displays were introduced
by the women members of some good
cycling club for wear in that exercise, it
would be perceived to be so superior in
point of modesty as well as of grace and
safety, and to attract so little notice aft
er being once seen, that it would be
quickly adopted generally.

packed gripsack in 1885 and started off
to try to make the wants of the islanders
in respect to teeth counterbalance his ne
cessitieS in the matter of cash.
His scheme was brilliant success. He
got all the work he cared to do and made
plenty of money, and as he was something
of an ethnologist and curiosity hunter as
we'll as a dentist he found many other
things of interest besides the teeth of the
natives. Only the barest outline Of his
travels can be given here His first stop
was made at the Marqucras islands, where
he staid two months. Then he went to
Tahiti, where he spent five months, going
thence to Valparaiso, in Chilli.
After that he went to Samoa and was
there when the Germans tried to steal tho
islands. King Tamasese was one of his pa
tients, and the doctor has a model of his
jaw. 1t is fully twice the ordinary size,
and the teeth are exceptionally big and
powerful The doctor says he never saw
any others like them, but Tamasese was a
giant, and his jaws stood out from his
face in way that gorilla might envy.
King George of the Tonga islands, to
which the dentist next went, was also one
of his patients. King George was 80 years
old, toothless and compelled to live on
vegetables and fruit. For an ex-cannibal
that was pretty hard. The doctor made
him a full set Of teeth, and he went back
to q meat diet.
The Fills, the New Hebrides and New
Caledonia were next visited in turn. The
last named is q French penal colony, but
DR.. Rabe says Americans are more inter-
ested in it than they know. A prisoner
sent there for five years is detained 10.
The last five he is not in confinement, but
cannot leave the island and must earn q
living If at the end Of that time he has
700 francs, he can deposit it with the Off
GERS and go-not to France or any other
place, but America. He naturally drifts to
San Francisco. At the end of a year, If he
can show that he has behaved himself, he
can demand and receive 500 francs.
Australia, Java, Manila, the Carolinas,
Japan, China and India were all on the
doctors itinerary, and other places, too
many to be told, and he has filled, pulled
and fixed up teeth in all of them and Is
quite ready to begin another journey of o
similar kind.
