RIDES INTO A DRUG STORE.

The talk of Easthampton, l.. l. to-day is the adventure of Rebecca Cuyler. the stepdaughter of Rev T. Dewitt Tal- mage, who astounded the other summer residents yesterday by riding her horse into the local drug store and buying a glass of soda which she drank while sitting on her steed. and then rode out after paying the half-dazed druggist for the drink. Miss Cuyler is one of the finest equestriennes who ever rode a horse through Easthampton's pretty streets.
 She stopped at the pharmacy and ra o- ped on the door with the butt of her riding whip. The druggist opened the screen door and in joking way said: Come in.'' His invitation was instant ly accepted. Miss Cuyler clucked at her horse and the animal walked through the door straight into the store. Miss Cuyler rode him the full length of the place between the rows of glass show cases, and then stopped him be- fore full-length. mirror. After seeing that her hat was on straight she wheel ed the horse around and halted him in front of the soda fountain.

 The druggist was so excited that he made it lemon instead of strawberry, and he spilled some of it as he handed it up to the fair horsewoman. She then paid for the drink and rode out Miss Cuyler has been i'll Easthamp- ton for nearly month with her step father Dr Talmage, who has summer home there.

WHEN TO WEAR A VEIL.

''Women who really know how to dress" says clever writer, general ly avoid extremes of fashions; they possess enough individuality and self reliance to know what suits them with out allowing themselves to be ham pered by the dictates of arbitrary laws.
 ''I should like to remind my readers that the veil, so to speak, has its pys- chological moments. That is to say, there are times at which one particular veil may be worn with effect, and other times when the same veil may be most unbecoming.
 .'If you are looking your best, with a healthy color in your cheeks. and your skin soft and supple, from the effects of a moist southwest wind, the more gossamer-like your veil the bet ter, for you will do well not to conceal these natural attractions. But there are days. and, alas! they are very ire quent. when the east wind shrivels up the skin and we look drawn and peaky; this is not the psychological moment for a transparent white veil. Treat the heightened color of the nose and deepened furrows of expression with that which conceals rather than with that which reveals"

WOULD RATTLE HIMSELF OFF.

A young man of Glencoe, Oklahoma territory, is offering 5000 tickets on himself as husband, which he is selling at 8 each, and it is said they are go- ing like hot cakes. This is how he explains his scheme: By selling 5000 chances for $5 each, 1t will bring to me $15, 1000, which is sufficient sum of money to attract any young woman desirious of marrying. I may not get the prettiest girl in the country, but I will get one, am sure, who is anx- ious to marry me. I sell numbers for $5 and agree when paid for the number to marry the holder of said number pro- vided she draws the lucky number at the raffie. I will have the raffiling con- ducted on fair and square means, by parties entirely disinterested in it.. Numbers from 1 to 5000 will be placed in box. and a blindfolded party will draw out one number. The girl hold ing the similar number shall become my wife, I will marry. her as soon as she is ready. The money will be in- vested so as to support Us handsomely. shall take the bride on an extended wedding trip"

SALAD FOR HOT WEATHER.

U f H f f H
 A fruit salad. crisp and cold from its resting place on the ice. will refresh tired palate as nothing else will on q hot day. and it may be served at luncheon or be used as the salad course at din- ner. For banana salad, take large and perfect banana. turn back strip of the peel and carefully scoop out the pulp with small spoon. IT you can get the short. thick variety of banana in either red or preferably the former-you will find it best for the purpose. but failing in these-and they are difficult to procure-you must make the ordinary yellow plantain banana serve the purpose. To fill the space left by the removal of the pulp-for the banana peels are to be the salad dishes prepare mixture of thinly sliced bananas. some shredded orange and stoned cherries. and q few kcl'- nels of English walnuts blanched and broken into small pieces: all these in gredients must be mixed in a bowl with generous supply of mayonnaise or boiled dressing, after which the cases are filled with salad, laid on crisp lettuce leaves and set on the ice until serving time. This salad should be prepared only a short time before serving just long enough to permit 1t to become chilled-Sallie Joy White in Woman's Home Companion.

THE CONDUCTOR KNEW HIM.

One of the best stories General Ar chic Williams ever drew from his vast repertoire is told on himself. Many years ago when Attorney-G General of Kansas Mir Williams had occasion to make trip. to the East He had no railroad passes east of the Missouri river so he borrowed an annual over an Illinois road from his old friend, Jake Smith. It happened during the first stretch through the Illinois that the conductor of the train on which s the Kansas man rode was q former schoomate of his. The conductor re- cognized Williams. but Williams didn't recognize the conductor. and about this fact the fun of the story hangs
 MT Smith," said the conductor. af- ter working his train and returning to have q chat with his passenger from Kansas, ''I see you are from Topeka; did you ever know a man out there by the name of Archie Williams?"
 "Yes, I knew him very we'll" re- sponded the pseudo Smith after strug- gling hard to steady his nerve and re- gain dis composure. I'.Yes., Williams -ist, considerable of a fellow out there Hes Attorney General of the state"
 ''Who, Williams? Attorney General? :? We'll I'll be id4-dv' eiacula.ted the con ductor. "What kind of people are they out there in Kansas to elect a chucklehead like that for attorney general?

 ''Stop it! Stop it!'' yelled Williams, springing to his feet. "There is your blankety- blank. Smith pass: take it up and collect fare if you want to, but you can't abuse me any longer"- Kansas City Journal.

 In connection with the pardoning of bank wreckers and bank defaulters one writer thus refers to the men who wrecked the seventh National bank of New York. Their guilt is as clear as the mondays sun. In open defiance of the law they overcertified cheeks of q favored depOsitor to the amount of S1 100000, which brought on the crash that swept away the money of the oth- CT depositors. "An act of reference to certifying cheeks by national banks" ]" approved May 3, 1869, provides that any officer, clerk or agent of any na- tional bank association ''who shall cer- tify checks before the amount thereof shall have been regularly entered to the credit of the dealer uponlthe books of the banking assnciation, shall. be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor." The penalty provided for one convicted of such misdemeanor is q fine of not more than $5.O00 and imprisonment for q term not exceeding five years, or both in the discretion of the court. There is no question that the officers of the Seventh National bank of New York have fagrantly violated this act of congress, and yet they walk the streets of New York free men. There is only one explanation of their immunity from punishment. and that is, that the dollar, of which Mark Hanna is the high priest, is above the law.

BRIDGE

The classical game of whist, which to be master of was an intellectual dis tinction is now only indulged in by q few antiguated fossils. The world in England is divided into two camps, those who play bridge, and those who do not.
 There is no position so trying or hu- initiating as that of an outsider" and none feel it more acutely than the un- happy people that cannot play bridge. Years ago one went out to dinner with the certainty that after pleasant and excellent meal there would be at least one man kind enough, whatever ones age and appearance, to come and sit and talk to one after it was over-now what is our fate? The drawing room and boudoir are dotted all over with small green tables, rubbers unknown and unsuspected are arranged during dinner, and before one has time to re- alize what has happened, the tables are filed by occupied. interested play CTS. and one is left either to one's re- fiections or the society of the only oth- CT dull old woman, beside yourself, who cannot play bridge.
 There are times when, with infinite care and thought, one who has brought delightful party together, and with great self-congratulation one looks for ward to pleasant evening. The peo- pie who want to meet each other are there the right girls and boys have come and all looks well. Alas! the serpent enters into our Eden, and we have seen five or six pretty girls sitting alone because all the men have gone to play bridge
 One great objection made to bridge by it's opponents is that it breaks up a party and by taking away four or eight people disturbs the harmony and proper adjustment of the evening. Some people realize the difficulty and now confine their dinners to eight or twelve, all of whom play bridge and can therefore occupy the whole even- ing, and so avoid the disagreeable feeling which every host must feel at seeing few unhappy guests left out III the cold.
 It may be quite possible that some of the open opposition shown to bridge could be explained if we examine more closely the position it occupies even at ball. The rooms once set apart for sitting-out. in which so many of the serious aims and projects of anxious chaperons have been carried to sue cessful issue. are now tenanted by ab- sorbed bridge players, whose great wrapt attention to the game admits of no disturbance or distraction, which the presence of youthful couples hover ing on the outskirts of their table DOT 1 Fortnightly Review.

Answering correspondent who wants to know something about the new itinerant vendors law the Hart ford Post thus discourses on that sub ject. The itinerant vendors law has not gone into effect yet, but it becomes operative on August l. Under it an
 itinerant vendor must take out both state and local licenses before he can set up shop. At the outset he must make a deposit of $500 with the state treasurer. Then, by the payment of an additional $200 as q fee, he can se- cure from the treasurer license, good in any part of the state for one year.
 But before the vendor can go to yend- ing in any town he must in addition to his state license. secure q license
 from the local authorities, for which he is required to pay S25. Then he
 can go ahead and rake in money from
 the public, but he must be careful.
 For instance, he can't advertise or represent any sale as an insurance, bankrupt, insOlyent, receivers, manu- facturer's, closing-out or fire sale without first filing under oath with the state treasurer all the facts relat- ing to the reasons for the proposed sale and the nature of it and includ- ing a statement of the name of the l obtained. the date of their delivery, the place from which they were last taken and other details necessary to locate and identify the merchandise. In this provision of the law there are teeth. The $500 deposit with the stats treasurer is subject to attachment in behalf of creditors. Failure to comply with the requirements of the statute exposes the offender to the risk of $50 fine or six months Imprisonment, or both. The law doesn't apply to sales made by commercial travellers in due course of business or to hawkers on the streets and peddlers from vehicles. Moreover, sales made within the grounds of an incorporated agricul- tural society during the holding of q fair are exempt. The law is compre- hensive in it's scope, far-reaching in it's effect, important in it's influence, and unless, for some unexpected req son, the courts can be induced to drive a coach and six through 1t the measure

received a telegram from M. Bapst,
counselor Of the French legation at
Constantinople, announcing that the
sultan had sent him a message accept
