Foibles of the New Woman.

Within the past 40 years woman has
demanded of man much that he has gra-
ciously granted her. She wanted equal
ity with him, and it has been given her
in all things for which she is fitted and
which will not lower the high standard
of womanhood that he desires for her.
This she accepts without relinquishing
any of the chivalrous attentions which
man always bestows upon her. The new
woman tells us that IAN ounce of JUS
tice is of more value to woman than a
ton of chivalry. But when she obtains
her "ounce of justice" she apparently
still makes rigorous demands that her
"ton of chivalry" be not omitted
Woman asked to work by mans side
and on his level, and today she has the
chance of so doing The fields Of knowl-
edge and opportunity have been opened
to her, and she still desires that Of
which her grandmother did not dream,
because, like an overindulged child, so
long as she is denied one privilege that
privilege she desires above all others
She has decided that without the ballot
she can do nothing, for, in her vocabu-
larry, ballot is synonymous with power.

SALVATION ARMY LOVE.
Some OF the Autocratic Regulations Pre-
scribed by General Booth.

Some OF the Autocratic Regulations Pre-
scribed by General Booth.
The regulations of the Salvation Army
relating to courtship and marriage are
calculated to discourage hasty unions
and the proverbial leisurely repentance
Officers in the Army are not allowed to
marry privates in the ranks. The latter
must first be elevated to an equal rank
before the union is sanctioned.
This is deemed necessary in the inter
est of discipline. When Cupid with his
dart transfixes two loving hearts and an
engagement is agreed upon, the matter
must be at once reported to the superior
officer in command in order to receive
official Endorsement. This sanction is
only given after an official Investigation.
The couple are then separated for a
year, one of them being sent to dis
tant post. At the end Of the twelfth
month, il their mutual love has sur
vived the ordeal of separation, the ad-
age, "out Of sight out of mind" dis
proved, the truth of "absence makes
the heart grow fonder" proved and the
expression Of love made again publicly,
there is no further objection to the
union, the only stipulation being that
it shall take place in the barracks and
in the presence of the Army.

His Blooming Mistake.

A countryman of Goethe gives another
instance of the difficulty a foreigner has
with the English language. He was in
vited out to dinner soon after his ar
rival in England and was desirous of
saying something in very pleasant
way and made use Of the following ex-
preston: "Will you have the blooming
kindness to-" etc. He used it in the
sense that the word blooming" is used
in German, as being something very
charming and beautiful, little knowing
what havoc slang has played with the
word in England He was absolutely at
a loss to understand why everybody was
so utterly Mortified at what he thought
was an extremely nice expression.

Alpaca and Mohair.

Here is flood of information aboat
alpaca and mohair, which will be worn
more than ever MS crepon declines in
favor. 1t is supplied by one who knows
all about it. He says:
Mohair is the fleece of the Angora
goat, grown in the orient and at the
Cape, and is the most lustrous animal
fiber known. In its natural state it is
white and can consequently be dyed to
any color Alpaca is the fleece Of the
animal Of that name, also of the goat
family (llama is q near relation), and
is grown in South America. In its nat
ural state it is black, brown or piebald,
with very small proportion of white.
Consequently it can only be dyed dark
color, generally black Whenever, there
fore, you see a luster dress which is
lighter than dark gray you may be sure
1t is mohair, especially if it has pecul-
far sparkle which is something like
that of newly broken piece of lump
sugar. Alpaca, being somewhat finer
and softer than mohair, is mostly used
for coat Innings, but it is also made into
dress goods in its natural gray. 1t was
introduced and intended for Innings,
but was taken up by a whim Of fashion
for dresses and had great run 80
years ago. Its popularity gave the name
of alpaca in rough and ready way to
all bright goods, although most of them
are made from mohair and many Of
them from English wool.

He SPANKED CLEVELAND.
Death of Thomas Davids, Who Spanked
the Future President.

Death of Thomas Davids, Who Spanked
the Future President
Thomas Davids, who died at the home
of his daughter in the foothills near San
Diemas, Cal, few days since, at an
advanced age, was probably the only
person living who ever spanked Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland. He told the cir
cumstances many times. In 1S42, when
the deceased was a young man, living
in the village of Clinton, N. Y, he was
a janitor in Hamilton college and also
of the little Presbyterian church there.
President Cleveland father preached
in the church, and the president was a
little boy just beginning to wear trou-
sers Mr.. Davids and the Rev. Mr..
Cleveland became intimate friends, and
the former carried Grover, then known
as Stephen Grover Cleveland, many
times through deep snowdrifts from the
church to the parsonage.
On one occasion at church little Gro.
yer was corrected by Janitor Davids for
some fault, and as he WAS saucy in re-
turn Mr.. Davids turned the little boy
over and gave him repeated spanks. The
father of Grover said it was just what
he deserved.
Davids crossed the plains from Leaven-
worth with an OK team in 1850. He be-
came rich man in early gold mining
days, but his fortune went as quickly as
1t was earned. For the last ten years
Mr.. Dayids had been very poor, and his
daughter supported him.

THE NEW TOLEDO UNICYCLE.
It's Inventor Expects 1t to Soon Roll
Into Public Favor.

The latest in unicycles is the idea of
L. q. Phillips, of Toledo, Ohio. 1t is n
unicycle that the inventor says is bound
to be success. The cog wheel Is made
of brass and works in gear made Of
rawhde. The long hooklike arrange
ment in front is the ballast and serves
in the place of the forward wheel as q
balance for the rider The seat may be
adjusted to suit the rider, as in the old
ordinary or OH the present pneumatic
safety. The handle bars are adjusted
in n similar manner to those on the
regulation bicycle, and may be of the
pattern desired. There is no danger of
the wheel tipping forward to any great
extent as the ballast piece will serve as
a guard to prevent anything of the sort,
and Mr. Phillips argues that there is no
more danger Of rider tipping back
ward than upon bicycle. The gearing
is properly cased so the dust cannot

ON THE COLORADO.
Features of n Steamboat Trip ON Mind
and Water.

Among the winter attractions az
Southern California Is trip TO the
mouth of the Colorado River. The
navigation of the river at low water Is
alone worth seeing 1t Is western river
navigation of the extreme type.
No river In the country changes its
channel so often as the Colorado. 1t
leaves the famed Missouri In the shade.
1t changes not merely by the day, but
by the hour. A pilot never tries to re-
member 1t, as on the Mississippi, but
runs by the appearance of the water.
Even this is so often deceptive that the
boats are built to run almost as well on
mud as on water. The Mojave ls 100
feet long by 81 broad, with three decks

gers. Now she slides at full speed
down long reach of timbered banks.
then suddenly strikes bottom with a
heavy jar. But there Is no danger and
little delay. She may stop entirely,
but the engines keep putting, you feel
the boat move again, and after few
hundred feet of crawling. she goes
again ut full speed. She simply rides
the shifting mud. Perhaps at the next
bar she has to swing around sideways
and wiggle over, but she is equal to the
emergency. At times bar Is reached
where this device fails, and then she
swings around, stern to the difficulty,
backs water with the big wheel, and In
a short time washes out channel
through which she rides with ease into
the next stretch of good water. Thus,
with evolutions to meet the various
emergencies of the cranky stream, she
threads It's winding course amid ever
varying scenery.-Pomona, Cal, Letter

In view of the fact, says an Austria
Hungarian journal. that black iron
stoves do not in all cases suit room
which is painted in light colors, and of
the attempts made unsuccessfully to
use upon them water glass paint, Herr
Kratzer, a Leipsic chemist, has been
experimenting in this direction with
very satisfactory results. The colors, he
finds, may be blue white, borium sui
phate, zinc white, borium chromate,
yellow ocher, uranium oxide, green
chromium oxide, cobalt green, green
ultramarine, ultramarine blue, cadmium
oxide for yellow brown, English red or
caput mortuum for brown, brown oxide
of manganese, burned terra di siena,
red iron colors, chrome red. These are
to be mixed with warm soft water, dis
titled or rain, and diluted 33 degrees
or sulphur free water glass. Thus one
part Of water glass may be mixed with
two of warm soft water, and one part
of bronze powder be worked up with 90,
by weight, of the diluted water glass.
1t may be necessary to give the color a
thorough preliminary wetting with very
soft water, particularly II the color be
an earthly one, and the better this is
done the better will the color mix with
the water glass, but no more color
should be mixed than can be used with
in two to four hours. The iron should
be perfectly free from grease and rust,
and should be treated with a scratch
brush-then three coats, at 12 hour in
tervals.

Mexico has an ingenious plan for ia
cilitating verdicts in jury trials. Two
supernumerary jurors are drawn to sit
near the jury box and listen to the evi-
dence and arguments. If any one of
the regular jury falls i'll or is otherwise
disqualified from going on one of the
"supes" takes his place. In this way
they avoid what is often seen in an
American court-a long trial rendered
useless when 1t is nearly finished by
the sudden illness or death of one juror
This would never do here. The jury
"supe" would not be locked up. He
would be out getting fixed, while the
sick man who had to be excused would
get left.

WHAT A BULLDOG DID.
Bear Was Small Game For This Partio-
ular Canine.

Bear Was Small Game For This Partio-
ular Canine.
There were five officers from Fort
Reno and four from Fort Kearney, and
seven or eight citizens from the east who
had come out for hunt, and we had
pitched our camp on the eastern base Of
the Big Horn mountains, at the head
waters of Clear Fork river. One Of the
civilians, who hailed from Boston, had
brought along his bulldog, and though
be was guyed and ridiculed hundred
times over he insisted that the dog
should be taken along on the hunt.
"You just waltz hereplied to all sar-
castle remarks. 'I want to see him
tackle bear, and if he gets chance to
it's dollars to cents that he comes out
ahead"
One day six of us went off up the
mountain, and the owner of the bulldog
was one Of the party. His dog was at
his heels, as matter Of course, but as
we were out for the climb more than in
expectation of sighting game no one OBJ
jected. We had reached point thou
sand feet above camp and directly over
1t when big cinnamon bear which had
been snoozing alongside of rock start
ed up with "woof" Before any one
had scarcely got sight of him or realized
what sort of game it was the bulldog
rushed forward and tackled him, getting
tail hold.
"Stu-boyl Hang to himl Now's
your showr' yelled the man from Bos-
ton, and the bulldog got death grip.
Old cinnamon hadn his nerve with him
that day, and the first move he made
was down hill. At his first plunge he
started good sized bowlder from its
bed, and 100 feet down he dislodged o
great mass of earth. That was the start
of an avalanche. Earth, rocks, trees and
powders began to move, and a strip 800
feet wide went booming down into tho
valley. The men in camp heard and saw
it in time to escape, but 1t swept away
every tent we had and filled the bed OF
the creek 80 feet deep with debris.
"Not an ounce of provisions. cook
ing utensil nor blanket was saved.
Where our camp had stood was a mass
of earth and rock 10 feet deep. We got
down as soon as possible, and men were
sent off to Reno to bring back new
outfit. No one ever expected to see that
bulldog again, of course, but three hours
later he walked in among us as IL moth
ing had happened and hadn't so much
as a scratch ON him. We looked and
looked, but no one spoke for two or
three minutes. Then the man from Bos-
ton suddenly remarked:

bear, but l wasn't SO sure about an ava
lanche. I've raised his price to $3, 900,

unwarrauted Use of Portraits.

The discovery that the picture of a
well known woman in New York socle-
ty had been utilized as an advertise
ment by shoe firm is said to have
made her friends and family indignant
The most mysterious feature of the
affair concerned the way In which tho
picture, which was one taken several
years ago In fancy costume, got into
the hands of the firm. For several years
some of the patent medicine advertisers
have been ueing photographs of women
well known to the public, but they have
always changed the head. 1t was dis
covered that the recommendations sent
by the grateful patrons in remote towns
were enthusiastic and fervid enough,
but the pictures that accompanied them
were rarely fashionable In dress OF
style. so the headS were put on the
figures of women well dressed and like
ly to attrac, the eye. Several pictures
of society women were used in this
way, as well as those of actresses. The
effect was good, and it was occasional
ly surprising to read letters from small
Southern and Western towns and to see
the pictures of the writers attired In
the latest Paris and London modes.
One OF the pictures used in this way
was that of well known prima donna.
1t happened that when the society beau
ty was married her picture appeared in
number of the newspapers, and for
some time the same figure and dress
were seen surrounded by heads that
bore no resemblance to each other
