In the vestibule at st. Georges, not far

since 1890 A vestryman was gnawing his
mustache and trying to appear unconscious
of the verger's unspoken reproaches. The

like Jehu to the station, but had found no

The Waste Paper Nuisance.


From the Scientific American.
Owing to the great cheapness of paper,
caused by the ever-increasing use of wood
pulp in its manufacture, and owing to the
fact that it Is practically valueless after
having served its original purpose, II is the
cause Of a nuisance very prevalent In large
cities. The paper is thrown into the streets
or in lots, and is blown about with every
gust Of wind and collects under stoops and
In fence corners. where It is sometimes
set afire by mischievous and thoughtless
urchins. 1t is readily conceded that waste
paper Is dirty and untidy. and, according to

Handling Helped Statues.

From the New YORK Times.
Until short time ago the bronze stat

most carefully labeled Hands off," just

happened in Berlin, however, may cause
the curators of some of our museums 10
take down their signs. 1t was observed IN
Berlin that those parts of the bronze stat

led to the conclusion that fat had something
to do with 1t. An experiment was therefore
tried for some years with four bronzes.

it to be a stirring piece of music. The COM
poser has had the march Autographed on
three flags of the richest silk that could be
obtained, and these are held together by
four silver stars, the admirafs insignia. A
fourth flag, which represents the frontis-
piece, has emblazoned on it very pretty

Summer Girls New Fad.
Now the summer girl has new fad. She
carries cigarette case, and not an empty
one either. In the case and the quality of
the cigarettes therein lie not only an index
of her popularity in the present, but Of that
to come, for the cigarettes may be nice or
poor, and the case may be exceedingly ex-
penSive or otherwise. Much mystery con-
ceals this new fad; indeed, that is the dom
mating element, and the guessing game it
opens up is agitating the piaZZaS of many
summer hotels. In the first place. no one is
supposed to know who bestows the case
upon the fair damsel, but it is taken for
granted that he is a STEADY" and then
every one wonders how much so he is.
Then a further interest is developed in try
ing to find out who are the lucky men who
are invited to partake of the cigarettes, for
the summer girl is not so limited to con-
fine her Smokes to one. Not she. But
she does not bestow them broadcast, and
no man knows just who are the other ia
vored ones. So that is where the girls do
not do all the guessing For one man to
tell another about her having given him
Smoke is, in the cigarette etiquette as
caddish kissing and telling. And the
most wondering of all comes In the desire
to find out if the dispensers of cigarettes
join the favored who reap the benefit of the
case.

From January to August, 1898, Colonel
Hay the former American ambassador in
London, spent more than fifteen millions on
tho British press. He opened an unlimited
credit at the city of London branch of q
great American bank. The Spanish cin-
bassador has given some valuable inforlna.
ton which leaves no doubt on this point.
1t was not tho newspapers which were
paid. The British newspapers, it must bo
admitted, rarely take money; but, as they
havo endless columns to flll, they have no.
course TO the telcsraphio agencies, and that
explains how during tho Cuban war the
English newspapers received daily service
of 1000 and 6,000 words by means Of
special apparatus installed in the editorial
Office and which turned from morning to
night Ike q windmill.
All this matter was supplied TO tho
British newspapers at the cost Of their or.
dinary subscription to tho tclegraphic
agency, and 1t was materially impossible
for tho agencies to recoup themselves with.
out immcnse subvcntions from the Wash.
ingtOn government. That explains the
steady and systematic hostility toward
Spain of all tho false news which has en-.
ablcd the Americans to deceive tho world,
