chairs for carrying babies have thus far
been fitted to the mems wheels.
Health, says Miss Arnold in Boston, to
the Chauncey hall Kindergarten graduates,
is the first requisite of success. The new
woman has none of the old-fashioned be-
lief in nerves and notions.
1t is said that Queen Victoria has had
a chair constructed which will support
her in standing position while receiving
visitors. The chair is cunningly arranged,
so that its form is covered with regal drap-
cries, and report says it would deceive
any one who didn't know it was there.

dish bestowed the proud title Iof queen

The wife of Russell Sage was once
pretty schoolma'am in Syracuse. She knew
Russell Sage in youth and was the bosom
friend of his first wife. In fact, it is
matter of current belief in the region
where they grew up that the first Mrs.
Sage put the idea in the somewhat slow
heart of Russell that Margaret Olivia Slo-
cum, though then past the usual age of
matrimony, would be a great success as
her friends successor.
1t was the custom in Scotch parishes for
the minister to bow to the laird's pew be-
fore beginning his discourse. On one oc-
casion the pew contained n bevy of ladies
and the minister, feeling a delicacy in the
circumstances, omitted the usual salaam.
When they next met the laird's daughtaI-
a Miss Miller-widely famed for her beauty
and afterward countess of Mar, rallied the
minister i'm the presence of her companions
for not bowling to her from the pulpit.
"Your ladyship forgets," replied the min
lister, that the worship of angels is not
allowed by the Scotch church"

seemed TO be that the tax of five per cent.

is better than nothing. but it could have

stead Of five per cant. on the gross. The

The memtcrs of tine Saratoga AssOcia-

opinions of Colonel Lawrence Kip, vice.

and will prove q heavy handicap both
