millionaire washerw omen.

1t is announced in the Russian
press that an old man has died at
Odessa, leaving 100000 rubles
to his four nieces, who have hith-
erto been in very humble circum-
stances. In order, however, to
check anything like pride in the
fortunate ladies the uncle stipu-
lates that previous to receiving
the money they are to work for
fifteen months either as chamber
maids, washerwomen or farm SER
wants. There are three executors,
who are enjoined to see that the
condition is scrupulously respect
ed. The ladies, it appears, have
in consequence gone into domestic
service. 1t is said that already
they have had 853 offers of mar,
riage.

Took Hint From Victoria.

Queen Victoria not only looks
we'll after her own servants, but
has an eye and an ear for those
that come occasionally to her re-
sidences. Now, it happens that a
certain lady who holds position
at court has the deserved reputa-
ton of never keeping maid more
than three months. Though a
lamb to society in general, she is
unfortunately a lion in private to
her attendants, and they suit
themselves quickly elsewhere. 1t
reached her majesty's ear somehow
that this lady, every time she came
into waiting, brought fresh
damsel, who had to be initiated
into court ways. Some months
ago the Queen sent for both mis-
tress and maid at the same time
and gave them a nice little homily
on mutual forbearance and good
nature, and then expressed a hope
which really amounted to a com
mand, that the lady would MOI
think of changing so often in the
future. The maid is now a per
manency and the wrongs OF hel
predecessors are avenged.

Catching the Captain.

The captain of a certain large
sailing vessel is probably the
most polite officer in the whole
mercantile service. He has, how
ever, a great idea of his impor-
lance, and loses no opportunity of
impressing it upon his crew. In
particular, he insists upon being
addressed as "sir" by every one
on board. One day new hand

after leaving harbor, being sea-

"Nor'-by-east," answered the
old tar, very gruffly.
"My man." suavely answered
the captain, ION this craft, when
one of the crew speaks to me he

planned the man in the shabby dress suit.

manager, 81 am reminded of the fact that
never did see her at one of our dances. -

shabby oress suit with evident relief f'She
never attends them"
'But ID the ether hand, - continued the
floor n nager, "she always attends the in
formal entertainments, while I don't re-
call that 1 ever saw you at one of them. -
That's right, too, % admitted the man
in the shabby dress suit, shifting uneasily
from one foot to the other. 81 You see. we
were lacking in foresight this year, and it
has been rather awkward, but next year
We expect to appear together again. -

the man in the shabby dress suit appeared
i'll at ease.

The man in the shabby dress suit pulled

Ny wife thinks we ought to be repre-
scented in society, - he said, but we made
an error in our plans. We could only az
ford one suit for each of US, and she got
gown for afternoon teas and such things,
while I bought a dress suit. Her gown is
out Of place where can wear my suit, and
I can wear my suit where her gown is
the proper caper. We must make the best
Of it this year, but next year va intend to

Of a versider rather than a true poet
