First Foreign Salute to Our Flag.

In Quiberon bay there was great
French fleet under the command of Adj
miral La Motte-Pioquet, and from him
Paul Jones obtained what he claimed to
be the first foreign salute ever given
the American flag. 1t is true that the
governor of one Of the Dutch West India
islands had got in trouble the year be-
fore for saluting tho American flag, but
La Motto Picquet's was undoubtedly
the first direct and unqualified salute.
II was not obtained without some adj
dress as we'll as boldness on Paul Jones
part, as the alliance between France
and the United States was not then
signed. but when the French admiral
agreed to salute he did it courteously,
paying tho compliment of having his
guns already manned when Paul Jones
sailed through tho feet. Molly Elliot

The Pompadour Roll.

A rumor comes from Paris that parted
hair is not to be the fashion much Ion
ger; that even more trying still the
pompadour roll surrounding the face is
to be tho thing. If this BIO SO, then for
q return of the rats. those curious
denominations of our mothers time over
which tho hair is brushed, will once
more BIO used. With the hair brushed
back in this fashion it is to be arranged
in the shape of figure 8. quite high at
the back of the head, and the Psyche
knot, which has been with us long
enough to become modified into quite
q graceful arrangement, will have to go.

Emerson For woman Suffrage.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in n Phi
Beta Kappa grafton on "The Progress
of Culture, recounts the gains of the
reform movement as follows:
Observe the marked ethical quality of
the innovations urged Or adopted. The
new claim of woman to political status
is itself an honorable testimony to the
civilization which has given her a civil
status new in history. Now that by the
increased humanity of law she controls
her property she inevitably takes the
next step to her share in power
Again, in the ESSAY on Civiliza-
tion," he says:
Right position of woman in the state
Is another index. Place the sexes in
the right relations of mutual respect,
and severe morality gives that essen
tial charm to woman which educates
all that is delicate, poetic and self sac
rificing; breeds courtesy and learning,
sonv and wit, in her rough
mate, so that have thought sufficient
measure of civilization is the influence
Of good women.

sAYRevIlLr,s AMAZING Auss.
A Jersey Blasphemy In Yellow Set In a
Symphony of Blue.


Probably the most remarkable bit of
color to be found within a radius of 100
miles from this city is the little hamlet
of Sayreville, N. ]. From an artists
point Of view Sayreville is impression
istic in the nightmare sense of the word.
Its surroundings are beautiful, for it
stands on a little bluff overlooking a
spreading marsh, through the center of
which sparkling river runs to lose
itself in rift of the faraway hills. The
marsh is a dull, grayish blue, the river
gives a steel blue effect and far away
the distance of the hills blends in soft
gradations into the hue of the sky. In
the midst of this gem of landscape
stands Sayreville, yellow in every sense
of the word. 1t is blasphemy in yell
low set in symphony in blue.
In the neighboring villages there is a
legend as to how Sayreville became yell
low. They say that when the town was
first built there wasn't a painted house
in it, and that one day an enterprising
peddler ON his notion selling rounds
saw in this an opportunity for money
making. He procured large quantity
of damaged paint at a nearby city, all
of the paint being in various hues of
yellow, from bright orange down to the
dullest buff. This paint he oarted to
Sayreville and sold at low prices, and
still with large profit to himself. Then
the town set about painting itself vel
low. Some of the people pooled their
interests and their paints and ornament
ed their houses with the combination.
Others ran to stripes, and having used
up one tint filled in with the rest. One
man tried polka dots in chrome on q
background of greenish buff, with bril-
liant effect. When the work was done,
the peddler came back with big con-
signment of staring green, which the
townspeople bought, and with which
they painted their blinds. The result
was pleasing to the Sayrevillers, but
startling to such few outsiders as
CHANGED to journey to that town.
In the course of time two household
ers found courage to break away from
the prevailing yellowness. One repaint-
ed his house in robins egg blue, the
other tinted his a deep magenta, and
now these two buildings stand out con-
spiouously and give just enough color
tone to the village to aocentuate its
amazing effects in yellow. New York

Something will have to be done to

declared a wholesale grocer. "a good

These inducements move the eHpidity
of the retailer, and the consumer suffers
by having imposed upon him inferior

"What do you mean by induce

The grocer handed to the inquirer a
handsomely illustrated card on which
were the words;

A Crisis Arises In Regard to the Seal Fisl

A Crisis Arises In Regard to the Seal Fish
 cries Dispute.
 WASHINGTON, May 15 An ugly crisis has been reached in the negotiations be- tween tho United States and Great Brit ain looking to the adoption of uniform regulations Tor the government of the seal fisheries this season. The British govern ment positively refuses to TO enact the reg ulation of last year which prohibits tho carrying of firearms by scaling vessels through tho zone north of the thirty fifth parallel during the closed season.
 The Cnitnd States officials look upon this as disastrous to the seal fishers, hold ing that the result will be to relieve tho pclaglo sealers of tho only restriction which has operated to prevent m unlimit- cd slaughter of the herds While killing by firearms remains illegal. 1t is realized that 1t will be impossible to enforce this prohibition if arms can be freely carried. for the sealerS would kill freely unless they should happen to be under the very eye of a revenue cutter.
 Meanwhile the United States cutters have gono out under the old instructions to seize all vessels carrying arms not un- der seal These must be modified speedily by orders sent through the Alaska Com- mercial company's steamer, which leaves San Francisco in Q day or two, or else there may be another big claim for dam ages on account of illegal seizures filed by the British government.
 The attitude of the latter is viewed with much dissatisfaction at tho state depart ment, whero 1t Is regarded as an evidence of unwarrantable concession to the Cana dian pelagio sealcrs. It Is also held that the effect of the British action is to prac- tically nullify all measure of protection for the seals that was conferred by the Paris arbitration, and it would not be surprising, if this course is persisted in, if it resulted in declaration by the United States of the abrogation of the treaty.

She had worked a book agent for three months in the States and came to Canada in the fall of 1891.

Mrs Bridget Can6eId. aged 31 years, wife of John Can6eld of 13 Charles street, died last night. The funeral will take place at 9 o'clock to morrow morning with services at St Patrick's church and inter ment in Calva y cemetery.
 The most dreaded man in Waterbury to-day, by some of the residents of this sec tion is Sheriff Rigney. Every other family has a couple of dogs which they do not want to lose and some of them are too poor to meet the tax. Something has to be done and the only way out of the delemma is to stow away the dogs. A South Brook lyn man says that if the sheriff calls down that way and attempts to shoot any ones dog there will be war in the camp. Almost every man in the place has a pistol now and all have organized into n society to protect themselves from contentious at home and incursions from abroad.
