A Pretty Story.

Here is a pretty story of the young
empress of Russia. A number of ladies
had been invited 10 the palace, in order
that the empress might think them per-
sonally for their share in a recently
concluded charitable entertainment.
or course, all OF them, womanlikc, were
longing to inquire after the little girl,
but felt that the query would sound
cold and formal il, according to ETH
quette. they gave the child all her titles.
But there Is wonderful freemasonry in
motherhood, aud one OF the ladies,
whose own sweet little girl was born on
the same day as Grand Duchess
olga fact we'll known TO the empress
said, quite naturally: How is the
baby?" The effect was magical. The
empress face no longer wore what we
may call the state smile. but was
radiant as she talked OF her little Pet.

John R. McLean's
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer /;
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John K. Mclean,
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, ard
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour.
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit,
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr. Mclean frankly answers;
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. by
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprisc in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.

The Farmer md the Treasure.

One day farmer who lived for years
in peace and quietness and was we'll spo-
ken of by all who knew him found pot
of gold as he was digging in field. In
great rejoicing he carried the treasure to
his house and told his wife the news,
and in day his good luck was known
TO 100 people. His wife promptly de-
cided to bny piano and have new
house, and when the old man didn t
think much of this scheme she upbraid-
ed him for his selfishness and went about
i'll the sulks- His three sons decided that
they would blossom out as Jimdandies
and work no more, and his two daugh-
terS howled for diamonds and silks. A
deacon called and wanted him to give
5000 to the African heather. He was
asked to establish a foundlings' home,
his mother-in-law demanded q brick
house and new carpets, and his ten sis
tors and brothers arrived and wanted the
sponduli1 TO make tour Of Europe
Neighbors who had loved him now re-
ferred to him as stingy old varmint,
and men who had asked him to be q
candidate for town supervisor sent him
word that they'd enow him under If be
ever ran for Office. In fortnight he
found himself without friends and
mixed up in score of broils, aud taking
the gold to the river he dumped it in
and exclaimed:
"That over which I rejoiced has
brought me only sorrow, and durn my
pictur' if 1 want any more of it!''

Fur Innings arc considered tn only prop.
or ones for evening wraps. Cloaks and
capss for wear over light gowns are usual
ly ample, in order to keep tho bnrc arms
and neck well protected. Little capes lined
with fur are sometimes worn, but these
are inadequate and look so. They afford
no warmth to the lower part of the body
and allow their thinly clothed weare- to
become chilled at once. Some of the longer
capes are furnished with fur lined, chif-

are the MOST fashionable of any and tho
most suitable.
