No worse Than Nice.

The attacks upon the morality Of
Monte Carlo are made by it's rivals for
popular favor, if we may believe Henry
Labouchere. The English radical says:
Every year the number of visitors to
Monte Carlo increases and every year
more desperate efforts are made by its
rivals along the Riviera to prejudice the
place with the British public. That
Monte Carlo is a paradise in a moral
sense am not going to suggest. Every
man of the world knows that, like other
places entirely devoted to luxury and
pleasure, society there is not exactly
an assembly of saints. But that Monte
Carlo is any worse than other pleasure
resorts of similar character 1 en-
phatically deny. AS to the results of
the gambling everyone who has been
behind the scenes knows that infinitely
more mischief is done in the gambling
hells of Nice every season than at the
tables of Monte Carlo, and doubt
whether even Nice. which is in many
respects sink of iniquity, is any worse
than Ostend has been during the last
few seasons"

STREET RAILWAY DEVICES.
Among Them Scheme to Keep Con-
ductors Honest.


Among Them Scheme to Keep Con-
ductors Honest.
1t is many years since Mark Twain's
lines immortalizing the enforced
punching of variously oolored slips by
street railway conductors to prevent
their holding up the company ran
riot through the land, and the buff
trip slips" the pink trip slips" ard the
"blue trip slips" have long been aban-
doned by most street railways in favor
of the clock faced indicator. This is a
fairly good device, but still it may be
worked by clever man not unwilling
to divert a few nickels to his own
pocket. In Toronto the company has a
scheme which, so far as any one knows.
has never yet been circumTented by
conductor. Indeed, u IS difficult to see
how it could be got around without the
connivance Of passenger. By this plan
the conductor does not touch money or
tickets at all When collecting, he car
ries around a specially made receptacle
into which the passenger must put his
own ticket or 5 cent piece. The con-
ductor who violates the company's rules
by taking the fare from the passenger
and putting it into the fare holder is
liable to discharge. At the end of each
collection the receptacle is hung upon a
special hook and must there remain IN
til more passengers board the car.
The cars of the trolley line between
Minneapolis and st. Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent acct
dents to passengers careless in stepping
on and off. At the rear end of each car
are folding gates which are under the
control of the motorman, who does not
open them until the car has reached a
full stop and closes them before it
starts again. Controlled by the same
lever as that which opens and closes the
gates are folding steps, which let down
when the gates open and close up when
they shut.
The managers of this same line have
carried the street car advertising notion
to a greater length than the managers
of most other trolley lines in the United
States. In addition to the ordinary space
for advertisements over the windows,
the backs of the seats are provided with
panels for the display of advertising
matter. This does not, however, seem
to attract the advertisers OF the twin
cities very much, for the panels are very
rarely utilized except for amusement

1t signalized Her Departure From the
World of Artists.
Before her marriage she had been o
famous sculptures. She had made sew.
eral portrait statues of we'll known
men, and every one predicted for her a
still more brilliant future, when she
suddenly set all predictions at naught
by marrying wealthy man who dis
approved of her keeping up her profess
sional work. She was very quiet under
this restriction, but was supposed to
rebel inwardly. Therefore when at a
dinner party one evening she asked her
old friend General Bashar to come to
see her on the following evening and
inspect her last piece of work, which
she thought the best and most lifelike
she had ever executed, he supposed he
was expected to use his influence to pre-
vail upon her husband to permit her to
resume her place among the working
fraternity Of artists.
Il am sure you will like it, general, {"
she said, with winning smile. st

On the appointed evening the gen.
eral, with some misgivings over the
delicacy of the task intrusted to him,
presented himself. Instead of inviting
him to the studio his hostess, to his
surprise, offered to bring her last bit to
him.
''Oh, it's a statuette, is it?'' be asked.
well, yes, you might call it so, -
she answered, as she went out Of the

PROF. r. w. PUTNAM.
The New President of the Science Adj
vancement Association.


Prof. Frederick Ward Putnam, the
newly elected president and former sec
rotary of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, has been en-
gagged in scientific work and research
ever since he was mere youth. saboy
he manifested love for research in the
natural sciences, and his ambitions
were promoted by contact with such
masters of science as Louis Agassiz, JEFF
fries Wyman and Asa Gray. He met
these teachers in the Lawrence scien-
itific school at Harvard. At 16 years of
age young Putnam began his scientific
career as curator of ornithology at the
Exeter institute. In the same year he
Joined the American Association for the
Advancement of Science and the Boston
Society of Natural History. His first
important work was "a Catalogue of
the Birds of Essex county, Mass" At

Looked Very Much Alike.

The famous Quincys, father and son,
of Massachusetts,, were so much alike
at one time, in spite of their differ
ence in years, that it was hard to tell
them apart. Once at a public dinner,
where both father and SON were pres
ent, a toast was given to the father.
Instantly the younger Quincy rose to
his feet, and, pointing to his venerable
father, said: MY son will respond"
This is thought to be the only instance
in which son has ever claimed to be
his fathers father. .s.. ,,.

FOLDING FURNITURE.

F'urntSh1ngs OF n beurOOm Inat may
he Packed I'm a Box. a
The old saying about living in band
box may come to be reality befort an
other decade, for now the complete
furnishings of a sleeping or sitting
room may be packed in box six feet
long by two and one-half wide and a
little more than two feet in depth. A
clever Englishman is the creator of
this folding furniture. With it persons
travelling will not be obliged to lament
the absence of their own beds and bed
ding. but may carry such things with
them as personal baggage.
One of these boxes contains wash
stand with tiled back and shelves un-
derneath, dressing bureau with q
swinging mirror, a cane-seated chair
and one rug upholstered chair, together
with bed. bedding, draperies, toilet
set. and a wardrobe of comfortable
size. This furniture is made of we'll
seasoned hard wood. Each part fits
into its place and fastens without the
aid of nails or screws. In the dressing
bureau drawers, for example, the bot
tom is drawn out and the sides fold to-
gether. What boon this furniture
will be for frequent movers who are
never satisfied with one place for any
length of time. while the camper out
may carry his home with him.

put in command of the Spanish forces
in the Island of Cuba. Campos was a
mild and gentle soldier. Azcarraga
knew his weakness, and there was no
trick to which the willy diplomat did
not resort to discredit his ancient
enemy. The Cuban revolution was
swollen to five times its size in the eyes
of the Spanish parliament, and Mar
tipez Campos suffered accordingly.
.Campos was 1900 leagues away from
the center of government at Madrid.
SAzcarraga was in the full tide of power
at home. The result of his intrigues is
known to the whole world.
He undermined Campos, and had
that noble general recalled to Spain.
In his place was sent Capt. Gen. Wey-
Ter, the man who has earned the title
of butcher" and it was the shrewd
Spaniard, Azcarraga. that kept him
there.
Consistently refusing to be identi-
fed with any ministry, liberal or con-
servative, he has held the reins of gov
eminent in Madrid, and while friend
of the democrats, he has made himself
most acceptable to the constitutional
lists and has coquetted even with the
Carlists. The only danger that threat
ems the marquis to-day is the posi-
bility of his being sent to Cuba as cap
