There used to be big striped bass
that loafed around the old iron pier
at Coney island. Half a dozen men
hooked him at one time and another,
but they all lost him. One day a
man sitting there fishing thought
he'd got him sure, but the bass took
a turn around Spite, the fisherman
broke his line trying to clear it, and
he lost him just as all the rest had
done. / never heard of this bass being
caught, and l dare say he's loafing
around there still.
The derivation of the word
Yankee, says writer in 1896, lis
from farmer Jonathan Hastings of
Cambridge, about 1713. He used il
to express a good quality. Thus,
yankee horse and yankee cider
were an excellent horse and excel
lent cider. The British used it
wrongly as word of contempt for
the Americans. Thus when they
marched out Of Boston in 1875 they
played a march called Yankee
Doodle; though the prediction of an
active boy was-that their retro
grade march would be 80 Chevy

A NEW BLACKIE STORY.
How the Old Giant Surprised a
Student

oluuCnt.
A correspondent who was fellow
student of the professor in 1865
tells story of the late John Stuart
Blackie which well illustrates the
way in which this famous teacher,
who could sometimes be very severe,
could also be cordial when he came
in contact with serious students.
The correspondent was preparing
for his degree in classics, and was
spending little time at Braemar.
He had gone up to the Lions Face,
and was lying beside a path reading
the third book Of Virgil's "Aeneid'
aloud. Suddenly he felt the touch
OF stick on his shoulder, and turn
ing about, saw tall, lean man,
with a shepherds plaid thrown
loosely around his shoulders, by his
side
"Ye're reading Virgil, laddie, :"
said the man.
Yes, sir.
Let me hear YOU translate this, =
he continued, and in wonderful
way he rolled of a dozen lines of the
poet, chosen at random.
The young man did his best to
render it into English and then
parsed and scanned the lines, in a
faulty way, he thought. But the
strange man was pleased to COM
mend the students effort.
Then the two walked together
down to Caslleton. the stranger
talking eloquently and most in
structively of the writings of the
Greeks and Romans. When their
ways parted the man said
u suppose YOU don't know who
amp"
No, sir, the student answered.
Well, am Prot. Blackie. of Ed
inburgh l dare say YOU have heard
of me?"
"Oh. very often, indeed.
"Ay, ay, said the professor,
slowly and thoughtfully. And I
dare say we've heard that many folk
think I'm q wee bit cracked, " tap
ping his forehead with his finger.
but never forget. laddie, that. as

OLD FLESH REDUCERS.
Curious Remedies Fat People Used
to Take.

years ago? So far as | can remem-
Der apart from the heroic measures
recommended BY Mr. Banting, there
was but one remedy generally in
dorsed, and that was the extract of
seawecd, n preparation which would
have been excellent had it not in re-
ducing the flesh reduced strength as

A little later the water of German
spas were in vogue. Fat people who
were rich went to Carlsbad and
Marienbad, then came back poorer,

Bismarck announced that he had
lost a roe-buok's weight through the
simple process of drinking nothing
at his meals But sauce for the

The less they drank the fatter the
grew. Nowadays there are hun

barring hereditary predisposition,
for which there is no remedy, the
one cure is exercise and abstention
from certain foods. The question is
what form of exercise is the best. A
scientist to whom recently sub

swimming on the back--or, rather.
swimming with your back to the
floor-with a dumb bell in each hand
and dumb-bell attached TO each
foot. There is nothing. he assured
me, which will at once reduce and

hardens every shred and siuew. If
you happen to be fat man. try it.

BATHROOMS OF NEW YORK.
Gorgeous Apartments Where Favored
Debutants Appear.


Debutants Appear.
Not few bathrooms in New York
are as splendid in general appoint
ment as any to be found in Europe
One Of the most magnificent ball
rooms in New York IS the Fifth av-
enue palace of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
The ceiling IS y feet high aad is
finished with an immense sllylight of
jeweled glass in an exquisite inter-
mingling of amber and gold. The
wall drapery of gold and white Is
partly hidden by an arrangement OF
fine paintings and plate-glass mir
rors in heavy gold frames
The frieze above this is a beautiful
bit of mural decoration of famous
French artist, and consists of a pro-
cession Of dancing cupids tossing
floral wrcaths. This royal apart
ment was not opened formally until
the debut OF Miss Gertrude Wander
bilt this past winter.
The ballroom in which Mrs. Al
meric Hugh Paget, nee Pauline
Whitney, made her debut is con-
sidered one of the most beautiful in
the world. 1t is 25x100 feet. is also
in white and gold, but relieved by
splendid touch of oriental color in
the decorative scheme.
The walls are tinted yellow and
varied by occasional panels of pink
italian marble, a foot in width and
reaching to the ceiling, imported, it
is said, at an expense of some So, 900
per panel.
The raised dais at one end of the
room, which serves as a stage for
theatricals or stand for musicians, is
also placed against background Of
Italian marble, and in each corner OF
the room are marble lamps, II feet
high, supporting six gold arms, each
finished with an electric light in a
rose-colored shade.
The ballroom in the Tiffany house
on Madison avenue is most original
in decoration. The color scheme is
green, gold and white, and the effect
artistic 10 degree. Tie walls are
hung with green. Tall palms and
draecenas are the finishing touch in
every available place. The balcony
is held by slender green pillars.
The mantel is of rare green
marble, touched with gold, and the
curious chandeliers are a brass, in
laid with green enamel A room
suggesting cool forests, wild flowers
and gurgling brooks.
Mrs William Aston has adopted
the English custom of converting
her ballroom into picture gallery.
The room is lighted by electricity
diffused through roses and yellow
shades
For ordinary occasions the second
floor of Mrs. Ogden Mills princely
abode is separated by oriental
draperies into four large drawing
rooms, but when ball is in progress
the hangings are removed, and the
result is ballroom of wonderful pro-
portions and beauty
The walls, floors and ceilings of
this marvellous room are of snow
white marble, as is the beautiful
broad stairway which winds up from
the entrance on the first floor. Chi

causeway opposite Guthres row, WAS very
i'll and that The place was resort For low
characters and that two minor children
were in the house.
Matron Wogan, accompanied by Frank
Stout visited the house and the disgusting
sights were described by Mrs. Wogan in
the city court this morning.
In one loom was half drunken mai
sitting by a stove that had no fire in 1t,
while half drunken woman was lying on
q setlee. 1t another room was the woman
Shepherd lying among filth OF all descrlp'
tons, while II little lad of six years was So
neglected, that for time the matron
thought he was colpred child. In
anol her room a half drunken woman lay
on the floor wrapped in quilt and filth
visible on all side.
In another room was ano her man
sleeping off the effects or debauch, on
quilt on the floor
As soon us the condition of the place

Ruth Ashmore contributes helpful and

after all, what we want to do, you and l,
Is to fill our lives with charity SO that to
wbomsocver there may come need We can
give help. The help may express itself in
material things. 1t may be In the sym
pathy of kindly words, or 1t may be spoken
only by the pressure OF the hand. There
Ii no charity in having your namo on the
list Of generous givers while some one near
to you stays within doors because hor coat
Is shabby, or because her clothing ID not
sufficiently warm. There is no charity In
the giving Of much money II you have been
harsh and cruel to some one who deserved
your consideration and have made that
one heart feel that there ia nothing In the
world but bitterness. There Is no charity
In your being willing to write checks that
represent much money when you are quick
those who are around yon heart eaten up
by pride and lips that utter no words save
those Of scorn.
IAN the gold In the world will count as
nothing unless your charity is like TINT
which was taught to tho world nearly
5000 years ago. 1t meant that to feed the
hungry, take care of the sick, to forgive
the sinner and to help always In tho best
way whoever asks for help was Christs

that you and l wnnt to try to initiate.
Begin by being charitable with your lips,
by being charitable in your thoughts and
acts, and II of your little store there can
only be offered u few pence, you may be
certain that they will be reckoned by God
himself as greater than the many millions
givon by those who are so unwise us to
think that charity means only the giving
Of the least Of all things-money."

Our people have been annoyed the past
year with the wars being waged in various
portions of the earth While our sympa-
thies have been with the prosecuted in
the various portions Of the earth, we may
avoided all cntangling alliances and our
people have enjoyed the blessings of peace.
We hope, however, that in Gods good
time, tho letters may fall from the limbs
of the oppressed, and liberty and justice
may reign. We wish the Cuban patriots
may become free from the yoke Of Spain,
and the down-trodden and prosecuted Ar
