The following is a contribution
from boy who was on the scene:"
1t happened late one night in
morning paper Office that man IN
der influence Of liquor entered the
building The Waterman who was at
the door asked him what he want
ed. He said he had a story to sell.
The Waterman told him that he was
drunk and the paper would not buy
a story from a drunken man. The
man was with q friend who wanted
to see one of the telegraph operators
employed in the Office and then the
Waterman admitted the two men to
enter the elevator, and they rode up
to the editorial rooms. The vender
of the news asked the boy in charge
of the anti room if he could see the
night city editor. And when the boy
asked what he wanted to see the
night editor about he said he had
story and wanted to sell it but as the
boy was going to tell the editor
about the man he was called back
with q harsh voice and the vender
told him that he would not sell the
story to the paper as he was told by
the Waterman downstairs he was
drunk and also said that the elevat-
or man said he was drunk. But the
elevator man who heard him called
him liar And q typewriter who
was in the car at tho time told the
man it was not the elevator man but
it was tho Waterman in the hall who
told him that.
And while the news vender was
waiting for tho elevator the boy
went inside to tell what had hap
pened and the boy came out before
the editor and saw the elevator man
and drunken man with their dukes
up and punching each other, but tho
elevator man being the best fighter
avoided his opponents blow and
struck him IL the chest. And sud
denly the drunken man put his hand
to his back pocket as if to draw a
gun and the elevator man said"for
god sake don shoot and he Jumped
into his elevator and went down like
q shot And when he came up with
the elevator he had the Waterman
with him in case Of any trouble, at
this point the night city editor came
out and tho editor, watchman ele-
vator man and the news vender was
together, and the drunken man tried
to eZplaine the matter to the night

Sir Andrew Clark.

Mr.. Lehman seems disposed in
his "Recollections" to account for
Sir Andrew Clark's success on other
than purely professional grounds.
Far be it from me to take upon
myself the right of expressing an
opinion as to his merits as a man of
science. Distinguished colleagues of
his On tho continent had repeatedly
asked me how to account for his
great reputation and his extraordi-
mary hold on the English public, Of
which they evidently did not know
the reasons. Those l could give were
purely personal, but they would go
long way. His great secret was his
sincere belief in himself, the conf
'dence with which he inspired his
patients ard his power to convince
them of his Deep almost exclusive,
interest in the special case before
min. No matter how full his wait
ing room might be, he never showed
the slightest sign of hurry or impa-
thence. He would sit down and write
several pages of general instructions
in alternate red and black ink to &C

un,,arr,sd American Women.

II appears that In 1890 the number OF
women of all ages In the United States
was 80, 554. $40. of whom II, 1873, 98S, OF
30. "a per cent, were single. The impor'
tsnt fact for our present purpose is tho
number or percentage of marriageable
women who are, In fact, not married. 1t
Ia found that about 10 per cent marry
before the age of 30 and q very few be.
fore Is. The unmarried are made up OF
maids, widows and divorced persons, the
Lust Of which Glasses Ia SO small that 1t
need scarcely be considered for the pres
emit purpose. Omitting the actual num-
beers and using percentages only, the re-
turns show that between the ages OF 70
and 90 about So per cent were without
husbands; between IS and 80, about 2S
Der cent; between 80 and As. about 20
per cent After this the number OF wild.
ows increases so rapidly that from 46 to
IS the unmarried amount to 26 per cent,
and of women over 85 years OF age only
a little over 80 per cent have husbands.
Nearly per cent Of all women never
marry, about 10 per cent Of those be-
tween the ages of 30 and 45 had not yet
married, and more than one-fourth OF
those between the ages of 25 and 10
were still unmarried. Brooklyn Eagle

Care Of Children.

"My children frequently 60 through

20 my insistence that they shall not run
about In their bare feet. All children
like to do this, both at night, after they
are ready for bed, and In the morning
before they are dressed. Few things are
more directly conducive to cold than
this chilling Of the feet, and to guard
against it provide the crocheted bed
room slippers for each child. 1t took
vigilance and constant roiteration to
teach them to wear them every time
their shoes and stockings were dotted,
but they are trained now, and they slip
their bare feet into the worsted shoes in
stinctively and invariably. Warm and
dry feet in winter are the best prevent

A Boon to Low Browed Women.

The new evening bonnet which 10
worn perched so far back on the head
that it has every appearance OF being
about to fall off, is decidedly becoming
to the women with low foreheads, who
wear their hair 10 pompadour, while
the hats which have been so long popu-
far, set just ON the edge Of the forehead,
are particularly disadvantageous to this
style of hairdressing, the forehead
often its owners greatest beauty-being
partly concealed and unsoftened by the
short. curling locks most women effect.
The present queer little combinations Of
velvet, Jet and aigrets, with broad
bow Just In front Of tho back hair, are
not especially suited to the round faced
woman with the mop Of frizzos she Is
apt to elect to wear, but she wears it
because it is the style, and womankind

Box Plaies Again.

The box plait is steadily growing in
favor. Most Of Redfern's gowns and
those Of other fashionable artists have
the waists made with one or more box
plaits Occasionally the plaits are simu-

are occasionally trimmed on both edges
with narrow bands Of fur or jet, and in
dressy costumes the space between the
plaits Is filed with loose, full plaitings
Of chiffon or mousseline de sole, gener-
ally in contrasting or harmonizing col

ELEPHANTS TENDING BABIES.

Monsters That Take the Tenderest Care OF
Mahouts Children.
Weakness appeals powerfully to the
friendly protection Of the strong ana
even among brutes-at least the nooler
kinds-the appeal is not often in valn'
In the curious relations between mon
ster and midget we not infrequently see
the fable of the lion and the mouse re-
heated without words. There is nothing
by any means uncommon or incredible
in the stories which have been reported
about the children Of mahout being
cared for by the mahout's elephant.
The whole family Of the mahout be-
come, as it were. parasites to the ele-
plant, by whom they earn their living
have seen baby placed by it's mother
Systematically under the elephants
care, and within reach of its trunk,
while the mother went to fetch water or
to get wood or material to cook the fam.
ily dinner. No tackal or wolf would be
likely to pick up and carry of a baby
who was thus confided to the care OF an
elephant, but most people who have
lived a life In the jungle know how very
possible it is for jackal or wolf to
carry off baby when lying in hut
when the mothers back is turned.
The children thus brought up in the
companionship of an elephant become
familiar with him and take all kinds OF
liberties with him, which the elephant
seems to endure on tie principle that it
does not hurt him, while it amuses the
child. You see a little naked black
child, about Q feet high, standing on
the elephants bare back and taking 1t
down to the water to battle, shouting
all. the time in the most unbecoming
terms of native abusive language.
On arriving at the water the elephant,
ostensibly in obedience to the child's
command, lies down and enjoys him.

small island, above water, on which
the small child stands and yells and
yells all the more if he has several CON-
panions of his own age, also in charge
Of their elephants, all wallowing in the
water around him. If the child slips OF
his island, the elephants trunk prompt
