Way Mayor Strong Chewed and Spit Helped
 Farmer to Like New York.
 The man from the unpublished south west had been knocking around New York for several days, but his environ ments didn't fit him, and the conse- quence was he was going slightly lame. The clerk at the hotel where he stopped noticed his condition, and once or twice the guest used rather disrespectful language concerning the metropolis and its ways as compared with his own home. Yesterday after- noon, hover, a change appeared to come over the scene, and when he entered the hotel office and leaned up against the counter while the clerk got his key he was radiant.
 "Wen," inquired the clerk, ''how do you like New York by this time?"
 "'Taint so dern bad" responded tho visitor.
 That's what I told you," was the clerks comment. You have got to get used to us before you like us."
 "That ain't it. could stay here a. million years and not get used to yer metropolitan fub dubs. I ain't built fer that thing, and it wouldn't set right on me any more'n a No. 6 shoe will set right on No. 9 foot"
 Then what has happened?"
 "I seen Mayor Strong this after- noon."
 "Where?"
 "In his office"
 What did he do? Ask you out to take drink?"
 "Well, no, I ain't expectin the earth"
 What was it then?"
 "Why, by cripes, it was the way he done in his office. He jest set up there chawin' terbacker and hittin' the spit toon plumb center every time, in a way that eckchally made me home sich. 1 jest set there .watchin' him and feelin' better satisfied with New York every minute. Dern me if there's only been knot-hole in the floor in- stid of that chany spittoon, I'd a felt so good that I could a whooped. reckon I'll stay In town another day or two. New York ain't so bad when you strike her jist right" and the guest from Buckskin Bottom went up. stairs whistling.-N. Y. Sun.

ABOUT YOUR CALLS.
Visiting Card Etiquette as Explained by
 Ruth Ashmorc.

Visiting Card Etiquette as Explained by
 Ruth Ashmorc.
 Iknow 1t to Do true that when you came to town you had for visiting card e faintly-tinted stiff one on which was written your name, "Elinor Smith, in fine Italian hand heavily shaded, writes Ruth Ashmore in Ladies Home Journal. Fortunately for you, your hostess saw this and kept you from making faux pas. In the place of these rose-tinted ones, happily con. signed to their proper resting place, the wastebasket, you now have rather thin white cards, almost square, with, as you the oldest daughter, and as your mid. dle name is your mothers maiden one, Miss Cholmondeley Smith," engraved upon them. Your visiting card repre- sents you, and consequently it must be in good taste. This form is desirable because, seeing it, old friends who knew your mother as pretty Elinor Chol- mondeley" will recognize you as her daughter and make an effort to show you some special courtesies.
 When you make your visits you leave your card with the lady of the house and for each daughter who is in society. When you cannot go to Q reception or a tea your cards represent you. When you do go you leave your card either with a servant who holds out a silver salver for it or you put it on the table prepared for cards. This is done because, seeing many people, your friend may not remember all who were there, and tho little bits of thin paste- board tell of Ter visitors and warn her of those to whom she owes either a personal visit or return card. You called one day on a friend who lives very quietly, and who opened the door for you. For her card must be left also, and as you arc O bright girl you can either do it before her, reminding her that you do not intend to let her forget you came to sec her, or you can leave 1t in the hall when you are alone, for your hostess does not accom- pany you further than the drawing room door.

WOMAN AND HOME.
BRAZILIAN ZEBRAFiSH.

A Real Novelty for Ladies Fond of Pretty
 Aquarium Pets.
 This new aquarium fish was first brought to Germany by an enthusiast a year ago and was successfully prop Rgated last summer. We saw the origi- nal imported fish, with their fry. Our picture, which we reproduce from Natur und Haus, is good representa- tion.
 inchesin length by two inches in width. The general appearance is that of Q sunfish; the ground color of the body, which is entirely covered with small scales similar in size to those of the Paradise fish, is Q brassy yellow marked with number of irregular vertical bars or stripes of black; the dorsal and anal fins are largo and long, being composed of a great many rays of which about one-third are spinous; they are black in color; nt times, how ever, when the fish is excited, the yell low of the body becomes brighter and runs in strealzs into the black dorsal fin, making this appear as if it was a continuation of the body; the ventral fin is colorless and transparent; the caudal fin is rounded. The eyes are yellow, flashing like fire on somc occa- sions, and resembling those of the moss bass.
 The fish Is very attractive, especially when excited, it reminds one of Q her aid of the middle ages, whose dress used to display the colors of their mas ters in stripes. At other timos the fish will assume a very plain grayish color with oply one irregular black spot on each side of the body, midways and near the ends of the dorsal and anal fins. Young specimens show these pe- culiar markings even more distinctly than the adults.
 The habits of the zebrafish arc very much like those of our moss bass; they are very pugnacious and display the same motions when attacking one an other as the moss bass do, but their point of attack is the mouth, and if they succeed in grasping 1t, they hold firmly, like much fighting male Paradise fish do, until the weaker gives up. But'al' though they fight great deal we have not yet seen one that was seriously hurt. They seem to be on friendly terms again soon after.
 Their breeding habits, too, arc much like those of the sunfsh family. They pair off during the summer and prepare Q nest on the bottom of the tank, where

THE QUALITY OF TACT.
It Goes Far Toward Making Life Smooth
 and Pleasant.


 In one of our large cities recently woman lecturer discoursed to circle of women on the possibility of cultivat- ing that most necessary and charming uuality-tact. The idea that such gift was not natural inheritance, but ore which might be planted in soil, in the beginning barren of such seed. and, by careful cultivation, come to full growth, was a novel and an interest. ing thought to each one of her hearers
 Few people realize how readily the habit of tactfulness may be acquired, the fashion of so framing ones spoken thoughts that they shall soothe and not irritate the listener. Tact IS second only to grace in the makeup of the Christian. The Golden Rule is the finest example of the applica- tion of this principle that can be made. The reverse of tact is that most repre- hensible of qualities-frankness of opinion. For frankness it is almost always possible to read lack of con sideration. Masquerading under frankness of speech is too often to be
 
 sonal grievance or a petty spite.'
 Tact is not dishonesty; it does not mean the suppression of the truth nor the expression of an untruth, but it does mean the withholding of gratui- tous disagreements from arguments in which they are quite superfluous; it also means the effort to induce an agreement kindly when possible, and if an agreement is impossible it de- mands gracious acceptance of oppos- ing views. Tact can not be said to be synonymous with policy; tact is always honest and policy can not invariably be said to have that distinguishing mark. The outward manifestations may be the same in both, but their purposes are entirely apart; one looks for the ad- vancement and care of self, the other of its opponent.
 It will not do for us to say that in the hustle of our present civilization we have laid aside tact as well as good manners, for this is not the case. Courtliness is out of date; a spirit of camaraderle rather than of deference has arisen Tn its stead, but there has never been a time when kindly thought prevailed so universally. If this age deserves to be termed the humanitarian era it must induce kind- ly feeling among humanity, and while its exponent may not be courtly man. ners, it may be its near cousin, tact. showing itself in thoughtful, gentle speech and action.-Ladies' Homo Journal.

THE "COMBlNE" BROKEN.
Philadelphia Political Leaders Split on the
Mayoralty Fight.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan 9-The Republi-
can ward combine of this city, which
has controlled the politics of its party for
many years, went to pieces last night as a
consequence Of the mayoralty contest.
Throughout the campaign it has been pop
ularly supposed that, with the exception
of Senator Porter, the combine" was in
favor Of Senator Penrose for the office.
Last night, however, the rumor became
current that Penrose had been dumped"
by the leaders, and this proved to be true.
AT the eleventh hour meeting of the
combine was held at the Union Repub-
Ican club. Senator Porter occupied the
chair and the main spokesman was David
Martin. What had occurred between the
leaders before the meeting could not be
learned, but it was evident that the breach
was wide one. Magistrate Durham, an
influential member of the combine" is
the leader of the Pcnrose forces, and he
tried to bring up the question, but Mr..
Martin refused TO talk or listen to any
thing concerning Senator Pcnrose's can
didacy Leader Martins attitude has all
along been uncertain, but last night he
boldly expressed his opposition TO Pen
rose and declared himself for Charles r.
Warwick, now city solicitor who has been
somewhat of a dark horf i'm this one of
the bittcrest fights known to municipal
politics
Mr. Martin brought things to crisis
when, addressing Chairman Porter, he
said he believed the time had come when
the usefulness of the combine" as a po-
litical organization was at an end. The
members were divided seriously and ire.
trievably on the question of nominating
mayor, and in his opinion nothing could
bring them together again.
Then be emphatically denied the rumor
circulated that he would retire as polit-
ical leader, and his words were very gen
orally construed by those present to mean
that he intends to be the sole and only
leader in his party. He concluded with
the suggestion that the meeting adjourn
sine die, and after the murmur had sub
sided the motion was carried unanimously.

"A bill which was as dead as this was. He
denied that this bill was designed to take
the government out of the banking bust
ness, and asserted that no bill could be
devised for sound currency issues which
would not place them under government
supervision, and in effect make them al
ternately redeemable by the governments.
1t was the Office of government to furnish
money. This bill proposed to confer on
banks without limit right that could
only be conferred on a monopoly 1t gave

attempted to demonstrate that the bill
would confer the same monopoly on the

ocrats, Republicans and Populists, held
informal conferences with view to agree

speedy close. AS a result of the talks the
combined opposition may vote against the
rule to be reported by the rules committee.
AS the rule is regarded as indispensable to
passing the measure the defeat of the rule
would be equivalent to defeat of the bill.
