, No matter how masculine woman
may become, there is always some little
weakness about her that inva-
riably betrays her. She may wear real
mems shoes and tic her own tic, but her
NANNY hat has hatpin through it. Her
COAT may be made by q real tailor, but
Il is tight at the waist. She is still and
always the woman. Now, for example,
in Tim Murphy's play, "Alimony, +"
there was one of the dapperest young
things ycu ever saw She was o real lit.

Hllyoock hat to the sole of her hunting
boots. Her oordurcys were real cordu-
rOys. and her shirt had link sleeve but.
tons, but she had her high boots pinned
up with safety pins. She did, and I saw
them. Wasn't that the woman Of it?-

SUPeRsTiTloNS ABOUT TEA.

Quaint Ideas Concerning the Cup That
Cheers, but Does Not lnebriate.
There are probably more quaint super
stitions woven about tea than about any
thing else in tho world. II you put
cream in your cup before the sugar, it
will "cross Your love-" SO you must be
very careful. If, while the tea is being
made, the lid, removed to pour in the
water, is forgotten to be replaced, it is
the sure sign Of the approaching arrival
of stranger.
II tea stalk floats in the cup, it is
called a beau" and when this is seen
unmarried women should stir their tea
very quickly round and round and then
hold tho spoon upright in the center Of
the cup.
If tho beau" is attached to the spoon
and clings to it, he will be sure to call
very shortly. if not on that very even
ing, but if tho stalk goes to the side Of
the cup, he will not come. In some
places this is also said to denote the
coming of . stranger, and if the stalk
is soft the newcomer will be q lady; if
tough. o gentleman.
II you want to know how many years
will elapse before you are married.
balance your spoon OH the edge of your
cup, first noting that 1t is perfectly dry.
fill another spoon with tea, and holding
it above the balanced spoon let the
drops Of tea gather to the tip of the
spoon and gently fall into the bowl of
the one below. Count the drops. Each
one stands for q year.
If the cluster Of small air bubbles
formed by the sugar collect and remain
in the center of the cup, it is sign of
fair weather. If they rush to the sides.
there will be rain very shortly.

SULLIVAN's BIG BENEFIT.

How "Parson" Davies Cheokmated an At
tachment Against John L.
NEW YORK, June 2s-Big hearted, big
listed and good natured John L. sullivan,
the once worlds champion heavyweight
pugilist, had rousing benefit at the
Madison Square Garden last night.
Several of those who have distinguished
themselves in the fistic arena were on
hand to give friendly scraps" for the
amusement of the thousands of friends,
who by their attendance signifed their
good wishes for 'the man from Boston.
The crowd was quite as large as that
which witnessed the benefit rendered to
Jack Dempsey few weeks ago, and when
Sullivan was seen by the multitude the
walls of the big amphitheater were shaken
with the cheers and plaudits
Early in the evening 1t was known that
the Metropolitan Job Printing company
had secured an attachment against the
box office receipts A deputy sheriff was
promptly on hand but was confronted by
Max Hirsch, who represented "Parson"
Davies, of Chicago.
Hirsch was fortified with bill of sale
which showed that on June 25 Davies had
bought the privileges of the show from
Sullivan for the consideration of S5, 300.
This instrument was more than sufficient
to keep the deputy sheriff from interfer-
ing with the receipts. When Parson
Davies was seen by reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press in reference to the matter he
said; Il bought all the privileges of this
show from John L., and if make any
profit on the deal can use my own judg-
ment as to the disposal of it,"
At 11:10 o'clock the last and biggest
event on the program was in order 1t
was between Champion Jim Corbett aud
the beneficiary, John L. Sullivan. When
the men climbed through the ropes pan
demonium broke loose and both were
compelled to make brief speeches, Corbett
saying, as he grasped Sullivan's hand: 1T
will always be a pleasure to me to assist
my friend John L. Sullivan, and he has
only to command me at any time"
The men then boxed three short rounds,
and the big benefit was ended by the
crowd carrying Sullivan and Corbett into
their dressing rooms.
