MN BUYING 1RIMsLEs
state Of the Bachelor in
New York.

zone phase of the notions depart.
ment business that would strike a
casual observer as peculiar" said the
girl behind the counter, according to
the New York Sun, ''is the number OF
men who buy thimbles. The first time
l sold thimble to man was almost
convulsed with curiosity and he was
in the same condition with bashfulness.
He tried to make me think at first that
he was buying it for his sister, but he
worried so over the size that l sus-
pected there was something back OF
his anxiety, and at last l said:
"Can't you give me some idea OF the
size of your sisters finger? Is it as
large as mine, for example?' and
held up the middle finger of my right
hand for inspection.
"Oh, yes said he, 1t is larger than
that-much larger. It's almost as
large as mine
And then I laughed and presently
he laughed and told me all about it.
The fact is he said, 4 have no sister.
I'm roughing it in bachelor quarters
here in New York, and have to do so
much mending and sewing on buttons
and the like that find thimbl is in
dispensable. 1 suppose my ability IN
that line is nothing to be ashamed of,
but somehow I rather shrank. from
letting on that was buying thimble
for myself. thought it would make
me seem effeminate.'
But that was two or three years
ago." added the girl "They are not
SO squeamish nowadays. They march
right up and buy thimbles and thread
and even darning cotton without q
tremor. just as women buy their own
rifles and rowboats and other sport
ing goods, all of which goes to prove
that the sexes are reversing their old
fashioned occupations with VEN
geance. Most of the men who buy
thimbles have the incest tapering
fingers imaginable. suppose most Of
them work in Offices or stores and
don't do anything to spoil their hands.
They are very particular about the
fit Of their thimbles. They always
want them as tight as beeswax. A
woman likes thimble loose enough
to permit of circulation. but the men
say they can't do anything with the
thimble slipping of all the time.
"Men buy good thimbles, too; much
better than the average woman. IL
is no unusual thing for them to ask
for gold one. Then I have to send
them to the jewelry department. This
year l gave several young men nice
thimbles for Christmas presents
They all said couldn't have given
them anything that would have been
so useful and acceptable It's won
der to me why more girls don't give
their men friends tnimbles instead
Of fancy handkerchief cases and neck
tie boxes. I'm sure they would ap-
preciate them more. By another year,
fancy, they will get onto the idea,
for the social conditions in New York
make thimbles and even complete
sewing companions a necessary ad-
junct to every young mans bachelor
outfit"

Jack" Wilson, whose tomb is in the
Little Cloisters at Westminster Abbey,
was Shakespeare's tenor. He died at
the age of 7s in 1878, The inscription
on his tomb at the abbey was much OBJ
liberated, and under the direction OF
an antiquary q man was employed to
recut the letters. The antiquary stood
looking over him, SO that he should
make no mistake, and to make the time
go pleasantly he dwelt at great length
to the workman upon the grandeur
and merits Of the deceased. The uan
eventually stopped his work, and. look

HANLET'S CASTLE.
raAo1s Dane At Elsinors,
Denmark.

Jacob A. Riis, the New York pov.
erty- expert, lived as a child in the
neighborhood of the castle of Kron-
borg, Elsinore, Denmark. He has re-
visited the place In recent years, and
his early and later "reminiscences are
embodied in an article caIled Ham
let's Castle" which appeared in the
Century.
In 1873, as first step toward maxi
ing it fit for king to live in, Fred
erik II. Swept it clean of all hurt
full people and animals meaning, by
the latter, vagrant swine and dogs.
How his broom worked on the "peo-
pie" is instanced by the treatment
Of outcast women under the edict.
They were to be whipped and brand
ed by the headsman, and turned out.
II they came back, both their ears
were to be cut of. II after that they
were again found within the gates of
the city, the order was to stuff them
into sacks and throw them into the
sound. Four years Of this sort of
thing was supposed to have cleared
the ground, and the erection was be.
gun of Kronborg-the "crown castle"
That was the name. said the king,
and for miscalling IT "Flounder" or
Hook" any man was to pay him the
value of one fat steer. Long before
its gray walls had risen to half their
height the new name stuck, and when
it was finished, in 1855. the steer rev.
enue had ceased to be Of account.
OF the revelries that attended the
opening Of the castle it may well be
that the echoes ring yet in Hamlet's
description of "this heavy-headed
revel," which to his mind is more
honour'd In the breach than the OBJ
servance." For in that year there
played at Elsinore a troupe of stroll
ing English actors, which for all we
know with certainty to the contrary,
may have included young William
Shakespeare himself, come fresh from
poaching upon Sir Thomas Lucy's pre-
serves to seek his fortune among
the playhouses in London. The old
town records contain two references
to them. One 10 a mere entry of the
expenditure of four shilling "for the
repair of the board fence between
the house Of Lauritz, town clerk, the
town hall and yard, which the people
broke down the time the English
played in the yard" That was in 1855,
and may have been on the occasion
Of the opening festivities. The
Eroupe came back later and stayed
bome time. Little did the clerk who
entered into the municipal accounts

approval of the Organic Act he re-
quested Judge Frear to prepare a revis-
ion of the law, etc, and 1t is singular
indeed that the Governor should have
failed to direct the attention of the Leg
islature to SO important a matter in his
first and general message, and it is
equally singular that the Chief Justice
Judge FreaD should have preserved en-
tire silence upon the matter in his re-
port to the Legislature.
The appointment of Judge Frear to act
with others as a commission to codify,
revise or compile the laws as the case
might be, is not without precedent, but
the majority seriously question the pro-
priety of assigning judges to such du-
ties. The majority are of the opinion
that the Chief Justice and the other
judges can best serve the comm unity by
attending strictly to their judicial du-
ties The majority strenuously recon-
mend that the Senate do not concur in

LOST LOVE.

Gloucester, Mass. August 29-
Mrs. Martin Magnusson, wife OF a
coachman, has sued Miss Maude
b. Wetherell, daughter Of Magnus.
sons employer. for $50. 900, alleg-
ing alienation of her husbands at
fections. 1t is one Of the most re.
nlarkable cases ever brought into
court in this State, and the wife has
a leading lawyer of the city. Col.
VIM. A. Pew, for her attorney.
Miss Wetherell is % years old,
very handsome and leader 10 So
cial circles. Her father. now dead,
lett an ample fortune to her and
her mother. Coachmen have been
employed in the family tor 30 years
and Miss Wetherell. from childhood.
shared her fathers love for horses.
Two years ago. Martin Magnus-
son. good looking and young, be.
came the Wetherell coachman. He
left the place last September.
Miss Wetherell will fight the
suit. She says Magnusson was
employed, as other coachmen have
been. to drive horses for her family,
and that she always has taken a
friendly interest in him, aud whe n
sick gave him her personal atten-
tion. Further than this she can
conceive OF no reason for the suit.
