ONE FAY.

There are more ways than one to skin a cat. The Hotel Touraine in Boston is all right now. It was for the Hotel Touraine that an ineffectual attempt was made in the Massachusetts legis- lature, last spring, to repeal the law which forbids the granting of an inn holders license to place within four hundred feet of school house. There had been saloons on the site of the hotel, but the extension of the property brought every piece of 1t within the prohibition of the law. A big hotel in Boston without 9 liquor supply was not to be thought of, and various devices were proposed for supplying the defi- ciency. Finally the police board has granted a license for the sale of liquors at wholesale in room in the basement, and guests of the hotel who may de- sire that sort of refreshment will give their order and money to 8 waiter, who. acting as their agent, will go to this wholesale liquor shop and buy the ar ticle desired. No liquor can be drunk in that room. If the guest has not the requisite change he gives an order on the hotel office, which advances the money. MT. Whipple, the landlord, does not appear in the transaction otherwise. He under-lets the store in the basement, and the lessee gets the liquor license.
 There is joy In Boston and the liquor law seems to be all right.

CONTRACT-POWER,

The head man of the village has an idea, and it may be in order for his humble subjects to initiate his illus trious example as far as their limita- tions will permit. It may also be prop CT for those who have an idea, or think they have, to let it fly, so that their fellow citizens can notice, and admire or wonder as suits them. To be sure. the head man has not yet let his idea fly, but perhaps he will.
 How would it do for Pro Bono Pub lico," ''Veritas," or some other good citizen known to be capable of having an idea to write to his favorite paper and suggest a new experiment in local ment by an old charter, and now we have government by a new charter. We also have one-man power, or pow erlessness. But we don't seem to be satisfied. Why not try government by CUutLdCl. COuluu lIlG JOD Ol SUfeIH- ing this city be let out, of course to the highest bidder and with ample pre- liminary advertising? Some captious one may say that there is already too much contractor in our government. but that will only serve to show the tendency of things, and if there is such tendency why not go the whole figure and try new wrinkle openly and thor oughly? "Contract-power" sounds just as well as "one-man power" and the reality might not be any worse.
 Let us hear from "Pro Bono Publico'' or "Veritas." We have already heard from, Anthony Carroll, man of ideas, knowledge and courage.

A FOX'S HOME ON THE ROOT OF A
 BOSTON HOTEL.


 High up on the roof of the Boston Tavern, hundred feet and more from
 the pavement, lives little gray fox that has spent nearly her whole life with the smoke of the chiinneys blow ing about her and the roar from the streets of the city filling her ears day and night Taken as a cub from her native wods of Maine, she has grown up with the slated roof on the tavern as her world, and with Tom, the porter, who takes care of her, as her only companion.
 Originally there were two of the cubs.
 They were taken by gentleman who was on fishing expedition on the Bon- nie River last June and sent as a pre-
 sent to one of the guests In the hotel, who not caring about keeping them, gave them to MT. Clark, the proprietor of the Tavern. MT. Clark had place
 made for them on the roof, where there is plenty of room to run about, but
 short time after they came one of them
 became frightened, jumped from the
 parapet, and was killed. The other
 taking warning by the fate of her com
 rade, was more careful, and has gradu-
 ally become moderately tame. She will
 eat from the hand of the porter, and when he is alone will come to him when she is called, although she will not al- low him to handle her at all. The mo-
 ment any strangers appear on the roof, however, she is off to the furthest corn CT, and will keep the whole width of the roof between herself and them as long
 as they remain in sight.
 Her lot is not an unpleasant one for an animal in captivity for she has the whole rof to range over and is seldom disturbed. The roof has only slight slope; it is a smooth slated surface, surrounded by a high parapet and broken by numerous chin1neys and by the light well and skylight, which rise | In the centre of it. The fox has the run | of the whole of 1t, and explores every part, people in the nearby buildings | being sometimes startled by the sight ! of a fox running about on the roof of a hotel in the heart of the city. Tn one corner she has box filled with earth, ' where she craWls when she wants to go 1 to sleep, scooping out round hole with 1 her paws, and nestIing down into It, | curled up in little ball.

IS TIRE NBF CHIRTER ALL LEGILg
 Some interesting complications may grow out of the new charter, which seems to many kind of hasty and political pudding. There are those who are so foolish as not to want to be an neSed and have well-paved and clean streets, There are those In the city who think they should have had vote on the matter of annexing, There are also those in the city who doubt the legality of some of the charter pro- visions, including the one which gives us city officers for longer time than they were elected for. And there are other dubious points.
 Perhaps by and by somebody will be public-spirited enough to try to find out just how legal the new charter is. We ought to know A charter that makes as much trouble as ours does should at least be thoroughly legal

ANCIENT STATE BEDsTEADs.

The stateliest of ancient bebsteads
 are, of course, those in the state cham
 bers, sometimes the haunted" ones of
 historic houses, wherein they have
 stood for some three centuries at least.
 Usually these have been slept in-once
 at any rate-in the dim and distant
 past, by royalty. There Is curious
 story which, after the recent accounts
 of the Windsor ghosts, will be more re-
 spectfully treated than it has been, of
 George ". sleeping in such room and doubtless such bed at Houghton, and
 seeing the Brown Lady, who is, we be- lieve, the Walpole spectre. Such expe- riences were among the uneasy honors of the great, who were installed in some of the state chambers of the stately homes of England" and occasionally of the humber guests, who, from the house being crowded, and nobody else caring to sleep there, was Gin blissful ignorance) put into the state. but haunted, chamber Queen Elizabeth appears to have been the record break er if one may be so lippant in this con- nection. in the way of occupying state bedsteads, for in all directions she made those progresses" which have resulted in so many magnificent bed steads and rooms being shown as hav- ing been slept in by the Tudor Queen.
 Her successor, James, had a thrifty taste for thus favoring his dlstin- guished subjects, though neither he nor any other monarch come near to Eli8- 1 abeth in this respect.

THE COAL 1'ROBLEM.

The prospect now is that the trouble in the coal regions will soon be over for time, but unfortunately there is good reason to fear that whatever set clement is made will be but temporary.
 What the situation seems to be is set forth by the Engineering and Mining Journal, which says that the annual consumption of coal in this country has never quite reached 1s0, 900, 900 tons, and according to the reports made to the authorities of the several States the mines have a capacity to produce this quantity in little more than ninety days. It is possible, therefore, to sup ply this demand upon a. little more than one-fourth working time; or a little more than one-fourth of the labor and capital employed may furnish what the market requires. Any suspension of production which would operate to in crease prices of coal must necessarily reduce the demand by the shutting down of factories consuming coal, un- less their products can be advanced in like proportion and the annual con- sumption would therefore be lessened. The first effects of such increased price would be to draw more labor and cap ital into the mining business and thus
 increase the capacity for production. With an increased output and decreas- ed consumption wages must necessari-

ly he lowered, unless the universal law Of supply and demand can be reversed The only way to accomplish the miner s object is either through the general prosperity of the country which would increase the consumption and conse- quently the demand for coal or by a permanent withdrawal of a portion of the labor and capital from the mining business, which would have the same effect upon the survivors. Spasmodic exertions will get him no nearer the goal financially than they would physi- cally in a long race.
 This looks reasonable. Those who own coal naturally want to mine and sell all they can, and they frequently overdo the mining part

FASHION NOTES.
A New Fidgit in Tailormades.

A New Ftdgit in Tailormades.
 Tailor gowns for practical use are being made of heavy suiting unlined. This should be good news for women who give hard wear to their tailor dresses, for it is impossible to make the silk lining last much more than half as long as the dress lasts, and the correct appearance of a gown is ruined as soon as the under-fnish is anything less than perfect. It is claimed that the new unlined skirt is no heavier than the silk lined one of last year, even though made Of much heavier material. These skirts are finished with braid at the foot and on some of the latter ones this braid is over soutache and Is set on the right side of the skirt forming

The find, of course, delighted the landlady, but she did not keep the se- cret of her luck to herself. The money of the last Plantagenet king was like the traditional opal, unfortunate for its possessor. The landlady was mur- dered by her servants in order to ob- tain the treasure.

 It would seem as If tailor dresses gave their makers trouble enough over the question of fit, which must be glove like in it's accuracy, but now comes an added fidgit This lies in the arrange ment of such trimming as the accom- panying picture presents. In this dress the fit must be perfect and equally ex- act measurements must apply to the garniture, which was an all-oyer de- sign in narrow soutache Four rows of braid laid straight gave finish for all edges, but even the sleeves had their scroll and trellis pattern. The material that bore all this ornaments ton was green cloth, the skirt being plain except for a band of the scroll work near the hem. Most home dress makers do not attempt tailor rigs, but even those who dare them will be wise to keep away from this sort, for the trimming brings an entirely fresh lot of complications.
 Effort is being made to relntroduce riding habit fit to tailor bodices as a protest against the bloused models, which tailors claim are suitable only for silk and very light materials and should have no place among tailor cos- tunes. But if the tailors want this fashion to become general, they'll do we'll to avoid such models as this pie tured one. Thought unquestionably handsome, it is too difficult and ex- pensive to become rage.

If it is wrong to kill animals for food, the members argue, it is equally wrong to kill them to provide material from which to make clothes, and so they demand that vege- table boots, vegetable gloves, vegetable gowns, and even vegetable note paper shall be provided, to the end that the kid, the calf and the sheep shall be spared so far as their influence can do 1t.
