ENGLISH AS WROTE IN NICE.

ENGLISH AS WROTE IN NICE.
 There is certainly no visitor in the mass of them,' says an astonishing production called Historical of the Carnival of Nice" which does not know that the carnival exists since the highest antiquity. The Egyptians eel ebrates the Boeuf Apis, who was with great honor showed in Thebes, the peo- pie being gorged with wine and hydro mel dancing all around him playing flutes and the cymbales. In our days still we see the Boeuf gras Apis walked
 processionnely round the streets of Paris, set up with flowers and striking
 dresses; just like the one in the times of the Pharaons. Later on the antique
 Greek the Bacchus, god of wine fes- tivities, were celebrated by the people
 with all the pleasure of the time, and the priesterses' disordered jumping the head crowned with pampfre and ivy
 singing and dancing. The Romans Wich civilization was much like the
 Greec's and the Greco Bacchanales be-
 came at Rome the Saturnales. These festivities were given under the pre-
 tence of celebrating the primordial Cdddltty VI silC pVopiCJ uilu IllCSC ISS~ tivities brought to the most disordered
 licences, where our modern carnival is
 not to be compared to-" It appears
 that other towns, like Bale, Rome and Venice, have given up these fascinating
 habits, land even much fallen down;
 and now there is only to consider the
 Nice carnival the queen of all pleas
 ures. .. In 1874 the comity offered prizes in cash, and this inovation gave cuch@ a violent stimulation that year {! after year" the thing went on increas- | ing in splendor. Finally the Nice 1 municipal council gave a solid push to | do and to obtain better than the fore going year. Since then the fosde- voted CD comity did not cease. |. When you shall leave these blessed shore please take with you a ray of our suit, a little of the joy of these mad days and think of Nice the beautifoul.' D

THE REDUCED LADY.

Writer Pleads for Possible Open
 ing for the Refined Gentlewoman.
 What a tremendous opening for the refined woman there ought to be in rich houses where the parents are not refined, but who have the sense to de- sire that their sons and daughters should be more we'll -manered than themselves, according to Harper's Ba- gar. It is the most touching concession which a self-made man or woman ever makes-that silent request to be told how to do things gracefully. and the remark: q wish my sons and my daughters to have those advantages which I did not have myself"
 Now a lady has her social accom-
 plishments ready for use. She knows
 how to carry herself; she knows what good habits mean, what bad ones to avoid. Mentioned individually they
 seem small things and of very little
 importance, but in the complete whole
 how important! Good born and bred and improved by several generations
 of culture, go out and put her splen,
 did accomplishments of being a lady,
 into practice?
 And yet there are those so besotted as to laugh at the very idea of teach ing good manners. Some people are endowed with a natural grace which
 needs no teaching, but they are the very few When we see a miserably shy, awkward boy, who comes in a
 room breathing hard, and who upsets his soup plate over his best vest, or some awkward schoolgirl, who comes
 dancing and prancing about the crowd
 ed corridors of hotel, rushing in headforemost with the belief that she is a pattern of fashinable ease, or else so stiff that a ramrod would become a plant vine beside her, who does not wish that some reduced lady of good manners could have the training of i her? Even the manner of sitting down gracefully, neither to lounge or to sit | imorously on the edge of her chair, this might be taught.
 | And to the inexperienced hostess | what a blessing would be a protracted | visit from finished hostess. That graceTul woman Wno, Tn her own house, | always advances to meet a lady, but l lets the gentlemen come to her. She | has a chair for every one and a kind word. She is "civil with ease" She says something appropriate, well turn ed and gracefully kind to every one.
 Her agreeable welcome makes the I morning call a festive occasion. l To teach women to be hostesses would employ all the reduced ladies for a decade. In a world where love is 1 at a premium and even respect is not cheap, why should women add to the l number of those who dislike hem-this l business of being disagreeable hostess es? It is extremely unchristian to be
 rude. It may be a naughty assum-
 ption, but it is far more apt to be ig- norance.
 And yet how hard to get a reduced lady "a home" where she would be of i so much service as she would be in a
 thousand homes which need her in this country!

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Half the Business Portion Of Duns-
muir DESTROYED.

DUNSMUIR, July 5.-The most dis
astrous fire that ever visited this place
broke out at / o'clock this morning
Before it was extinguished twenty
buildings comprising half the business
portion of the town had been de-
st"Oyed, the loss aggregating about
500 600.
The flames are thought to have
started in the woodshed of the Airing
ton Hotel, near the store Of W. }.
Braustetter The hotel and store were
soon ablaze, and famed by a change
able wind the fire spread both north
ard south. II swept away Braustetter' S
store and warehouse, the Herald" Of
flee, Kings tailor shop, a building occu-
pied by the family of VIM. Anderson,
L. Boylan' clothing store, Mrs. Mar
Garet Whites millinery store and lodg-
ing house, and c. Ehrets millinery
store and residence, and dwelling
houses occupied by the families of r.
Arthur, r. A Courtney and Mr.. Abb
| bo1t.
To the north, from where it started,
the fire soon consumed the Arlington
Hotel and soda works, w. II. Fowler 5
shoe store, q Chinese restaurant, Nj.
McGrath's saloon and Ehret's meat
market.
Then the local fire department. aided
by the Southern Pacific's water service,
arrested its progress. Had the wind
not shifted, nearly the entire town
would have been burned.
Mrs. S. II. Smith was rescued from
the balcony Of the Arlington. She was
severely burned about face and hands.
s. II. Smith received a painful scalp
wound. There are several narrow es-
capes from fatal injury, as there was
but little warning and the fire spread
rapidly. Very little property was
saved. A drunken man was rescued
from cremation at the Arlington and
carried to place of safety.
The large railroad car shops were
saved. Explosions of gasoline caused
much excitement, and added to the fury
of the flames.

A Rio Grande Southern Special Held
Up at Stony Greek.
Neither the Mail or Express Gar Mo|ested
by the Robbers.
Their Work Confined to Looting
the Passengers and Trainmen,
From Which They Obtained
About Five Hundred Dollars in
Money and Watches.

DENVER (Col.), July "a special to
the Republican" from Rico, Col, says:
The Rio Grande Southern's San Juan
special No. 4 was held up at Stony
Creek, twenty miles south of Rico, at
lilo o'clock this morning by three
men, supposed to be Mexicans. The
robbers We're not masked, and acted
more like crazy men than train hold
ups. Three Rico miners We're trout
fishing in Stony Creek, and wishing to
return home, signaled the engineer to
stop at the water tank The train
stopped, when three men heavily armed
ran out from behind the water tank and
ordered everybody to throw up their
hands.
One of the robbers ran to the engine,
and firing a shot at the fireman, who
was filling the tender with water, made
the engineer and fireman get off and
line UP with the conductor, trainmen
and fishermen Two of the robbers
then went through the train, while the
other stood guard. They all seemed
badly excited, and took what the people
handed them
Father O'Rourke, a Catholic priest,
was on board, and requested the rob-
berS not to frighten the ladies in the
cars. They complied with the request,
and lost a good haul by doing so. One
of the ladies on the train had over $500
in purse attached TO her belt.
"A Rico miner by the name of Nc
Donald had 500 on his person, but con-
tributed only So. The robbers did not
even demand his watch. The robbers
relieved the conductor of about $50 and
his watch, and the railroad company of
a shotgun and revolver
1t is estimated that the booty obtained
will amount TO $500, counting watches.
Stony is a wild country, and it is very
probable that the robbers wil1 not be
captured as they can get to the Blue
Mountains before a posse cid be Or
ganized. They did not molest the mail
or express cars.

Good Showing of Financial Report
for the Past Fiscal Year.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-The IL
nancial report of the Southern Paci ic
Company for the last fiscal year shows
an increase in profits OF S4,0OUOOO over
the business of the preceding year.
This shows the last twelve months were
the most prosperous in the history of
the corporation. The gain in earnings
is largely attributed to the operation of
the Pacific system Increases in profits
have been made in nearly every road
in the system, though in some few
cases there has been falling off in

A SERIOUS EVIL.
The Employment of Women and
Infant MOrtality.

The fact that the long hours of labor
under unhealthy surroundings are per
nicious to the young both morally and
physically is patent to every one, bQt
there is another point of view from
which the employment of women
should be regarded. That is, it's eff
feet upon the infant mortality. This is
a matter which it is difficult, almost i'm
possible, to gauge in all its bearings.
An attempt to get at the root of the
evil has lately been made in Great
Britain, by a Miss Callet, who has
given the results of her efforts in a
paper based upon an analysis of the
statistics of the occupations of females
lin the United Kingdom. 1t is freely
admitted in this paper that the whole
question of the employment of married
women cannot be settled by statistics,
and many points bearing upon the sub
lject have been passed by,~but the i'm
portant question of how far the health
of infants is affected by the employ
ment of their mothers is fully entered
into, and many interesting facts are
brought to light. 1t has always been
the popular belief that the highest rate
of infant mortality is in those districts
where women are most largely en-
plOyeC III OutSlue WOFk, out dccOTulilS
to Miss Callet such is not the case.
She from the result of her investiga
tions, is of the opnion-while admit
ting that the employment of women
with young children is an obvious evil
THAT the factory employment of wo-
men is not the main cause of the eX
cessive rate of infantils mortality in
the industrial centers. The growing
number of premature births had been
attributed to the increasing employ
ment of women. 1t is, however, pointed
out that in the purely agricultural
counties of Eastern England the death
rate from this cause was higher than in
any other part of the country. Miss
Callet says there seems Ito be kind
of correspondence between employ
ment of women and girls and infant
mortality, but is this a relation of
cause and effect? When it is remem-
bered that no account is taken of the
kind of employment or conditions IF
work, whether the majority employed
iare married or single, we'll paid or ill
paid. we may we'll hesitate to come to
conclusion on such slight evidence" p"
1t may be stated, however without fear
of contradiction, that when a woman
has very young children, those chill
dren are much more likely to thrive
other conditions. Therefore unless
she is absolutely compelled to work
outside, it will greatly conduce to the
well-being of the children for her to
remain at home.-Pediatrics..
