Events of the Coming Year.

The coming year will be a period
memorable in the history ofthe world,
if but part of the plans of the Uni
ted States Government and Europe
an nations is carried out. In the
United States, there will be the live
liest presidential campaign ever held,
and the Fifty-fourth congress, now
in session, will furnish exceedingly
interesting debates on the tariff and
financial questions until June. There
will be several exciting state
elections and many great political
speeches. Every one will watch
with interest the progress of the Ven
ezuelan commission IS inquiry, the re
suits of the wars in Cuba, in South
Africa, in Turkey, and the outcome
of other complications now arising
in the Old World.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
at the beginning of a year of such
rich promise of stirring news the great
est metropolitan newspaper in the
United States The st. Louis Repub-
lie, should reduce its price to So a
year, or to less than two cents day.
This low price now places the Re-
public within the reach of everyone.
Those who wish to keep posted on
politics, trade, national and interna-
tional affairs, during 1895, should at
once subscribe for it on these terms,
in addition to taking their own local
paper.
Newspaper readers who may think
they cannot afford to take a metro
politan daily paper, should at once
subscribe for the "Twice a Week"
Republic-1O4 papers a year, for only
81 a year. 1t contains the best OF
everything that appears in the daily.

LO, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone,
The buds they are swelling,
The hens they are setting,
And socials are booming
All over the town.

And bachelors so gay,
And haste ye to celebrate

So hasten along,

For you sweet heart and you.

The other must be sought for

Tho Actress and Her Train.

The English stage has certain Gus
toms which greatly hurt Frenchman
who is not used to them. The last scene
of every act is constantly interrupted,
and sometimes in the most interesting
part, by the tinkling of a little bell,
which apprises the music to be ready to
play in the interval between the acts.
The actresses who perform the principal
characters drag long trains after them.
which have but four corners, like u car
pet, the breadth propOrtioned to the i'm
portance of the character, and they are
followed by little boy in quality of a
train bearer, who is as inseparable from
them as the shadow from the body.
This page, who is sprucely dressed ana
mutied up in a livery made TO suit his
stature within two or three inches,
keeps his eye constantly fixed upon the
train Of the princess, sets it TO rights
when it is ever so little rufled or
disordered and is seen to run after it
with all his might when violent emo
tion makes the princess hurry from one
side of the stage to the other. This he
does with all the phlegm and serious
ness natural to the English.

A nco Thai REASONED.
He Knew When It Was Safe to Sleep On
His Masters Bed.


No one that knew Bombshell ever
doubted that he reasoned and thought,
but occasionally would find stranger
who was not inclined to believe it, and
then / would tell him the following
story: Ny parlOr was a front casemate
which opened by an arch into my bed
room, a back casemate. A casemate
may be described as room in the wall
of a fort, generally intended, in war
time, to hold a gun or powder, while in
time Of peace many of them, like mine,
ara fitted up for use as quarters for OFF,
Gers and soldiers.
Bombshell had his own bed in the
back easement, but he preferred my bed
and would use it whenever he could. i
had tried to break him Of the habit, but
had not been successful
One day he came in wet and muddy,
and, as usual, curled up on my white
counterpart. The result was awful. AS
much as / hated to do so, felt obliged
to give him thrashing.
never caught him on my bed again.
He would still get on it; but, no mat
ter how quietly came i'll, would al
why's u0O 0lD1 Oh the uOOEs NuOuku L
could see from the rumpled condition Of
the bed that he had been ON it, and Of
ten the spot where he had slept would
still be warm.
One evening l went out, leaving
Bombshen lying by the parlor stove.
Ont of curiosity peeked through the
half turned Stats of my shutters and
watched him. From my position I was
able to see the whole of both of my
rooms.
For awhile Bombshell did not move I;
then he raised his head and looked at
the door; finally he got up, stretched
himself, yawned sleepily, walked to the
bed, jumped up, and put his fore paws
ON it. Standing in this position, a
thought struck him, and he said to him
self:
Suppose that my master hasn't gone?
He will catch me and then ! shall get a
licking. I'll go and make certain that
he is not coming back
l know that he said this because he
took his paws of the bed, walked eau
tiously back to the front door, and, with
his ear close to the crack, he listened.
At last, satisfied that had really gone,
he trotted back to the bed, jumped on
it, curled up and went to sleep.
After such clever act thought that
he had earned his sleep, so went away
and left him.-St. Nicholas.

What n Kurd Is Like.

In color they are usually no darker,
and often not nearly SO dark, as south
ern Europeans. The eyebrows and lash
es and eyes are generally black, and
nose aquiline and fine, and the mouth
we'll formed. The face is long and oval,
while in stature a medium height seems
TO be general. The chin is shaved, the
mustache alone being left, and over it
no end of trouble is taken with comb
and wax. The hair is usually shaved
along the top of the crown, but left
long ON either side, though little or
nothing of it is visible, owing to the pc
culiar and characteristic manner in
which the men deck their heads. The
Kurd's costume is distinctly his own,
and except in the south, where he has
come more or less under Persian influ-
ence, he never abandons it. A high silk
pointed cap crowns the head, round
which is woven a number of silk scarfs
and handkerchiefs in skillfully arranged
disorder.
The favorite colors for these turbans
are dark claret and gold, with here and
there narrow stripe of some brilliant
hue. The rough fringes are left hanging
down, as often as not covering the eyes
and ears of the wearer and adding not a
little to his fantastic appearance. Over
white linen shirt, with sleeves that
end in points more than a yard long, so
that they touch the ground, a silk coat
is worn, crushed strawberry being the
favorite color, though cherry color and
white satin are almost equally com
mon. These coats are made collarless
and open at the neck and fold across the
breast, being held in place by a wide
silk sash skillfully folded and inter
twined. In this sash the long pipe and
curved dagger are thrust. t.-Blackwood g

They Are Professional Guests.

Some gentlemen of family who are
clever at story, jest and repartee are fol-
lowing a strange business in London.
There is a man there who furnishes
amusement and entertainment for all
kinds of social gatherings, having men
of family un. his staff, who in the guise
Of guests manage to insure an enjoyable
evening for the invited guests. and thus
set the anxiety Of the hostess, fearing a
dull time for her guests, at rest. A cou-
pie of guineas will engage the services
of person of good social attainments, -
who will SO exercise his art of enter
tanning others as to put everybody at
once into the brightest of spirits. Five
guineas will command the services of
an individual of higher standing in the
social scale, !" while the proportionately
large outlay of $50 will secure those of
gentleman with handle to his lame.

Aroma and Rououet In wIner.

Aroma and bouquet, said a we'll
known wine expert, "are too often tax
en- to mean the same thing in wine.
Flavor pertains especially to the linger-
ing aftertaste of wine when swallowed.
Aroma and bouquet appeal only to the
smell, and the former exists in the grape
itself, while bouquet only manifests
itself long after fermentation is COM
pleted- Bouquet is never present except
i'll the purest wines. 1t seems to arise
from a union of several agreeable odors,
and any mixture would surely destroy
it. There are no truly fine wines with
out a strikingly marked agreeable bou-
Quet, and where all other qualities are
of equal perfection the bouquet makes
the distinction that gives to the wine
possessing it always the preference. -

A unique occupation for woman is
reported from Berlin. The proprietor of
a large brewery there received a request
from Russian lady to be shown the
interior arrangements of the brewery.
After looking at various processes
through which the golden beverage has
to go the lady inquired for several de-
tails of the pneumatic machinery in the
malthouse, which proved to the brewer,
to his great surprise, that she was per-
fectly familiar with every detail Of the
entire complicated machinery. Upon in
quiry it was learned that the lady, a
Russian countess, had large acreage
of barley growing on her estate, and in
order to increase her revenue from this
source she had built brewery, which she
managed all alone. She was interested
very much in the pneumatic mailing
apparatus because she could not get
skilled labor necessary for the produc-
tion of malt on her Russian estates.
Tasting the product of the Berlin brew
cry, she stated that her own beer was
not much inferior to the German prod
net. When a few days later the brewer
received some samples of the lady's
Russian beer, he pronounced it excel
lent and not inferior III any respect to
the best BOhem an or German beer
This lady is believed to be the only
woman brewer in Europe. .-Philadel-
