She estimates the dam age to her health, comfort and dignity at 5000 Mrs. Ungerman is specific in her charges. She says she was guaranteed four good meals a day aboard the steamer going to Europe, but on account of the peculiar antics of the ship in trying to find the bot tom with her nose and stand on her stern, she was unable to eat. and the display of fare was tantalizing. Insult was added to injury, she says, when, in the midst of her suffering, the cap tain prescribed salt pork as remedy. Steamship managers are said to be worrying over the suit, as an adverse decision would establish very dan gerous precedent and would probably result in driving them out of business

Illustrations by Photograph.

Tn artistic circles of late some con, cern has been occasioned by the in creasing favor which photography is finding among the conductors of illus trated magazines. Black and white draughtsmen fear that the camera is going to tell prejudtcially against their calling. That may be true of the craftsmen whose skill is below the ay- craze, but inquiries have eIicited the fact that the demand for good and original black and white work is greater now than it ever was. At the same time photography is daily play ing a more prominent part in the pro- duction of popular magazines, ono req" son therefor being that every other man is an amateur taker of sun pie lures" and is naturally interested in the productions of his fellows. profes- sional or otherwise.-London Mail.

4ne Chinese visiting Card.

The Chinese visiting card consists of q large sheet of blight scarlet paper bearing the name of the owner in very large letters, the larger the better. The paper is folded ten times, and the name is written on the right-hand lower corner, prefxed thus: Your unworthy friend. who bows his head and pays his respects, 2 Your very stupid brother,9 or something to that effect. In place of Yours truly" Your stupid" is written on the Chin- ese= card. The return of these cards to Che visitor is considered etiquette. They are too costly for general dis tributien. So it is necessary that each card should do duty several times.

w. w. Wilcox Resigns.

The Bristol News Of the Ord inst
contains the following regarding a
former Big Stone Gap boy;
Will w. Wilcox, who for the past
three years has greeted travellers from
behind the counter at Hotel st.
Lawrence, last night rendered his
resignation which was accepted to
take effect Monday.
Mr. Wilcox's many friends trust
that his resignation does not mean
that he will leave Bristol. BY his
courteous and gentIemanly demeanor
as we'll as his energy he has shown
himself to be young man such as
any growing city can i'll afford to
lose. With the travelling public he
has become quite popular during his
clerkship at the hotel, and no doubt
the wide acquaintance thus made
will be Of material advantage in
whatever work lie may engage. In
any event success is bound to follow
him.
