CHICAGO GIRLS WALK LITTLE
How the Manicure CT PerkOpOlis
Knew Her Customer Was
from the East.

"You are from the east" said the
manicure, according to the Chicago
Times-Herald. eyes? I thought SO.
Row did l know it? Ycu said you
walked down. Eastern girls walk so
much more than western ones. / am
from the east myself. Why, at our
boardipg-house, I can hardly ever get
a Chicago girl to walk to. the park with
me, although it is only a few blocks
they always want to ride.
81 notice the difference in our Gus
toners. A Chicago girl never forgets
her purse, but always takes it with her
wherever she goes, because she thinks
she may need car fare. Now the east
ern girl leaves her purse at home un-
less she is on definite errand whicR
requires money, and very often has to
borrow money from her friend, who has
hers along, in case an emergency
arises.
"Doctors advise walking so much
nowadays that the western girls walk
more than they used to, but it is gener-
ally with definite object, scarcely ever
because they like it, just for the sake
of the walk, as eastern girls do"

Shots That Cost.

In the event of war every shot fired
from the monitor Miantonomah will
cost Uncle Sam $3.50. The projectlle
weighs 500 pounds and the powder over
3G0 pounds. 1t is claimed by the officers
on the vessel that this mass of steel
can be thrown with accuracy at least
six miles with the present elevation of
the guns and much further than that
should the guns be raised higher than
the elevation at which they are now
fixed On the vessels deck. The officers
will be careful to see that no shot IS
wasted should they ever go into bat
tie. The ammunition will be used with
the best possible advantage, because
the monitor has storage room for only
100 proiectiles. Should the enemy ap-
pear the ironclad viii not attempt to
run away, even though the enemy
should be more formidable than she.
The monitor is not built to run, and she
will waste time in trying. She will
clear for action at once and fight to
finish. Down in the hold of the vessel,
far below the water line, $50 men live
and sleep.-Detroit Free Press:

PAY OF TRAINED NURSES.
Their Duties Are Sometimes Very AR.
GuOus, and Continuous Work IS
Next to Impossible.
The average sum paid to pupil nurses

The average sum paid to pupil nurses
is ten dollars month for the first year
and $14 a month during the second
year, writes Elisa beth Robinson Scovil
in the Ladies' Home Journal. The re-
muneration varies in different institu-
tions. In a few training schools the
nurses are paid nothing. After gradua-
tion head nurses in hospital wards re
ceive from $50 to $50 per month; su-
Perintendents from $500 to 81 200 a year.
District nurses, who are employed by
various churches, societies, and some
times by private benevolence to work
among the sick poor, receive about the
same salary as head nurse in hospi-
tai, exclusive of board.
Private nurses receive from SIS to S25
a week. They have to Pay the rent Of
q room to use as a headquarters, and
their earnings are more or less pre-
carious. 1t is rare for nurse 10 be en-
ployed all the time, and her work is so
arduous that it would be impossible for
her to stand the strain Of continuous
work, - -.--

A GREAT MATADORE.
An American Girls Impression of q
Spanish DuIl-Ftghter in
Private Life.

Guerrita (and his cuadrilla) lin
gered a few days at Mines, and dined
with US one evening. Minute, whom
met, and who posed for me before his
departure, proved attractive, and was
very courteous in manner. The little
gathering gave Inc still better oppor-
tunities to weigh the pecuiarities of
thegreater of the two omatadores, writes
Lucia Purdy in Harper's Magazine.
and my impressions concerning his
unusual intelligence and strength of
character were confirmed Several
who knew him well told me Of his vir-
tues as the best of husbands and of
fathers, and assured me that his life
was in all respects q. moderate, we'll
governed enc. lie cares, ii is said, but
little for the excitement Of social life,
being always far more ready to sit
and talk over his beloved art with con-
genial friends than to be made the
hero OF the hour at clubc or cafe. His
distaste for over convivial and not too
sober admirers goes so far that he has
been constantly known to call for
water and wash his hands after being
forced to submit to the grasp Of such
as are unpleasant to him.

bound to Please Him.

Grandpa is visiting them, and the gov
erness, while riding on the cross line the
other day, had this to say to an old
school friend: HE is worth nearly
million and his word is law without n
question. The other day he gathered
the war situation from the Free Press

not one in the house and he grumb,ed.
Before night seven delivery wagons
stopped at the house. All of them
brought map and one brought big

rho Tansencx of Morality.

The tendency Of morality is to hui
mamie the struggle for existence, to
minimize the suffering Of these who
lose the game, and to offer the prizes
to the qualities which are advantageous
to all rather than to those which in
crease and intensity the bitterness of
the conflict. This implies the growth
OF foresight, which enables men to
adapt themselves to the future, and TO
learn from the past. 1t implies still
more the development of the sympathy
which makes every man feel for the
hurts of all, and extends his interests
beyond his own private neees.-Leisure

GEMS OF TIE SEA.
The beautiful Butterfly Fish Are as
Candy as the Insect for which
They Are EaEed.

OF all the beautiful marine creatures
that occasionally wander along the gulf
stream to strand on northern beaches
the butterfly fishes are the most gor-
geous. They are tiny fellows, under IA
inches long, but radiant ard glowing as
gems, That is what they are-futterz
ing ocean jewels. They have deep
bodies, remarkably short tails and
long, beautifully-veined dorsal and anal
fins, says the New York Press.
The general body color is a pearly
gray, notably delicate ard iridescent.
A Aglistening jet-blacE band runs around
the head, through the eyes, and termi-
mates at the lower margins Of the gill
openings. Above the eyes this band is
bordered en- each side by narrow pale
streak that looks luminous by con trast.
Another dark band, but more delicate
in color than the first. runs around the
body at the middle part Of the fish, like
belt.
Two shining dark blue spots, like the
"eyes' in a peacock's tail, mark the
anterior part of the dorsal fin and the
tail. These spots are surrounded by
pure white rims, and the background
is dark velvety brown. The head is
greenish yellow, and the fms are marked
with feeting tints Of yellow, silver and
brown. They are butterfly fish, in
deed.

SPANIARDS PLAYED FAIR.
Bat 1t Was Long ago when They
Were Engaged: in War with
England.

In the year 1746, when England
was engaged in war with Spain, Capt.
Edwards, of the Elizabeth Of London,
coming through the gulf from Ja-
maica, richly laden, met with violent
storm. The ship sprang a leak that
Obliged it to run into the port of Ila-
vana. The captain went ca shore, and
waited On the governor, and told him
of the occasion of his putting in. add
ing that he surrendered the ship as
prize, as well as himself and crew, as
prisoners of war, only requesting coed
quarters. mo, SIR replied the gov
ernor; IF we had taken you in fair
sea, or approaching cur own coast
with hostile intentions, your ship
would then be lawful prize, and youI
people prisoners, but when, distressed
by the hand of Providence, you come
to our port for safety of your lives,
we, being men, though enemies, are
bound by the laws of9huEa.lity to af
ford relief to the distressed who ask
1T Of US. We cannot, even against our
foes, take advantage OF the act of
God. Yon have leave, therefore. to un--
load your ship. If that be necessary to
stop the leak. You may fit her here,
and traffic so far besides as shall be
needfpl to pay charges. When re
paired you may depart. will give you
a pass, to be in force till beyond Ber-
muda. If after that you are taken,
then you will be a lawful prize, where
as, now, as you are only a stranger,
you have a strangers right to safety
and protection"
Here was fairness. The ship depart

FIRE FIGHTING.
How 1t Was Done i'm the South I'm
the Days Before the
Civil War.

Old citizens are commenting on the
change the Savannah fire department
has undergone since the aute-bellum
days. The recent fires have given rise
TO many recoEections Of former meth
DDS of checking flames, says the Sa-
vannah News.
The eyes of one man, who was posted
in glass house in the City Exchange
dome, constituted the alarm system.
He was sort of sentinel, and while
keeping watch over the city cried out
the hours and whether things were
well or no. There are a few members
of the police force to-day who served in
the old glass house and recall the days
when fire alarms were sounded by ring
ing the old bell
Hand pumps formed the apparatus
to drive water, and the effective work
they did is well remembered. All fire.
men before the war were volunteers,
and, with the exception of the chiefs of
divisions, were composed entirely of
coiored men. They were strong, hardy,
and to get to fire was a sort of pastime
which was thoroughly enjoyed by them.
While working the pumps they would
strike up a tune, keeping time with
the movements of the pump handle and
ringing out their song in such harmony
ard fullness as to catch even the ear
of the critic. Then, too, there was fun
for the negroes getting to their re-
spective station houses. 1t was stand
ing rule that the first man to place his
hand on the lock at the station received
a dollar, and all were wild to earn it.
1t was as much an honor as a gain-a
sort of trophy held until the next fire,
The station houses were built of brick
and located in the squares in different
parts of the city.

preyfus Not BADLY Treated.

Concerning Dreyfus. He is not Gagged
in iron like wild beast in menagerie.
Nor is he compelled to pace measured
walk with loaded cannon at either end.
Those lurid stories have been rclegated
to fiction by a Dutch sailor named
Weinheber. That enterprising mariner
was lent by his, captain to the garrison
CT the lie du Diable as cook. He had lis
work cut out so far as Dreyfus was
concerned. Chocolate on rising, an
egg for breakfast, roast beef for dinner,
cold ham on. Drumont will be delight
ed at thatD for dinner. That is Drey-
fus' fare; and it is washed down with
generous bottled beer. He might do
much worse in an out-of-the-way fort
Senegal way. Dreyfus, too, has the
run of the island, can play cards (for
love) with his warders, and study
books on military topics. Lest we
should imagine that he is in complete
condition of middle-class ease, we are
Informed that his hands are tied with
cord when he is in his bath, one end
of which is held by a jailer lest he
should commit suicide. As the poor
man could hardly swallow his sponge,
this precaution seems slightly super
fiuous. 1t is, presumably, the Dutch
cooks own and original contribution
to the Dreyfus legend.-Pall Mall Ga

FIREMEN IN ALASKA.
What the Men Formerly With the
st. Paul Department Are Doing.

st. Paul Department Are DOing'
Friends Of the ffremen who left the
department to go to the KlOndike last
spring have received letters from the
gold seekers bearing the news Of their
safe arrival in Alaska and telling Of
their search for wealth. None Of the
firemen, according to the last reports,
had yet struck it rich" but they are
in the gold country and hopefully pros
pecting for a strike"
The firemen left st. Paul in two diff
ferent parties, the Zahn party and the
JohnstOn-McStay party. After travel
ing the many thousands of miles to the
gold fields they are all located In the
same section of Alaska, in the Stewart
river country. With the Zahn party
was Former Lieutenant Norbert Scheff-
men Of the other party are Former
Captain Johnston, of the salvage corps;
George Wright, who drove No. 4 en-
gine; John Hubel, of truck No. 5, and
Peter McStay, formerly captain of En-
ginC Company No. 1.
Lieut.. Lowe, of truck No. 2, at head
quarters, has received several letters
from members Of the Zahn party. He
says they are all we'll, and through
them he heard how the JOhnstOn-Mc-
Stay party was getting along. While
prospecting the Stewart river country
the Zahn party came upon George
Wright, of the JOhnStOn-MCStay party,
encamped alone on the river. Wright
was taking care of the outfit of his
party while his companions had gone
further up the river with five months
provisions on prospecting expedition.

KIND WORDS FOR FREEMAN.
State Normal Boards Action on the

The following resolutions regarding Prof

normal board for consideration at it's meeting
last week.
Whereas, Prof E. J. Freeman, B. g.. B.
Pd-, for seven years in charge Of the de-
partment OF physical science at the state
normal school at Winona, has declined a re-
election to that position and will close his
connection with the institution on the first
OF October next. this board takes this OPP
portunity to express its regret at the sever
ance of relation so acceptable and profit
able to the institution.
His exceptional skill and ability as a
mechanical and electrical engineer, his apt
ress to teach, his power of illustration and
his genial and kindly influence over his
pupils are qualities too rarely combined in
the same personality and are cordially recog-
nized by the board and by the citizens of all
classes in the community where he has re-
sided during his connection with the school
Approaching his worth as a man and his
professional services as a teacher we cor
daily commend him to the authorities of any
institution desiring TO secure the benefits Of
his talents and services
Director Morey asked to be excused from
voting on these resolutions which were
passed by the rest Of the board. 7 to O..

COSTLY GLASS OF BEER.
PRtrOIman Tschida Fined $50 for
Quenching His Thirst.

1t cost Patrolman Michael Tschida,
OF the central detail, $25 to drink a
glass of beer Tuesday night. The Of
ticer did not pay the sum to the saloon
keeper, but Mayor Kiefer directed the
comptroller to deduct that amount from
the salary of Tschida for the month Of
August. Tschida was called into a
saloon at 104 East Seventh street,
Tuesday evening by the proprietor, and
before leaving he stepped into a side
room and dOWned a foaming glass of
beer.
Sergeant Davis either saw or heard
of the beer drinking act and promptly
suspended the patrOlman. Mayor Kiefer
investigated the matter yesterday and
after hearing the evidence and the
statement Of the officer had the follow
ing letter indited and forwarded to
Comptroller McCardy:
Il have the honor to inform you
that l have this day fined Officer
Tschida $25 for neglect Of duty, by be-
ing in a saloon and drinking beer in
the same. You are instructed to with
hold that amount from his August
pay"
The mayor informed the officer that
a strict discipline must be maintained
and that a repetition of the offense
would result in his dismissal.

CREDIT TO H. P. HALL
Is the State Fair Number of the st.
Paul Trade Journal.


If there were no other direct return
to st. Paul from the state fair than
that which will come from the exploit
ing Of the trade and commerce Of st.
Paul through the state fair number Of
the st. Paul Trade Journal, the mer-
chants of this city would be more than
repaid. H. p Hall has for years been
identified in one way or another with
the great fair and has always con-
tributed much to it's success This
year he is in q field that is all his own,
and he has produced as a part of the
literature incidental to the fair q pub
LEGATION of real worth to the city, in
an edition of the Trade Journal con-
sisting of 100 pages, in Illuminated
covers and filed from cover to cover,
both inclusive, with matter Of interest
and value to the city and full of infor-
nation for the outsider.
Only Mr. Halls intimate familiarity
with st. Paul in its every phase could
bring about the production of a pub
LEGATION of such completeness. He has
sources Of information that are I'M
known to the average newspaper man,
and he appears TO have exhausted even
his resources in making the state fair
number of his journal perfect. That
Mr.. Hall has been ably seconded in his
efforts to make the publication the very
type Of prosperous commercial life by
the jobbers and merchants is made
apparent on every page. The publica-
ton is beautifully Illustrated, is filled
with convincing proofs Of the value Of
st. Paul to the Northwest as a jobbing
center, and, while it carries statistical
information enough to give weight to
the assertions made in it's reading col
umns, these statistics are by no means
dry nor are they capable of distortion.
The state fair edition of the Trade
Journal is calculated to make an i'm
preston on the minds of the people
into whose hands it will fall next week.
