No More Mad molse elles.

The cause Of woman sweeps on re-
lentlessly. The Woman's Suffrage So
ciety Of Paris has just legislated the
appellation of "mademoiselle' out of
existence. Henceforward they decline,
as body and as individuals, to an
swer to anything but madame Mar
ried or single or widowed, 10 years old
or a hundred, it is just the same; no
reply, or at any rate, none that could
be printed, will escape them so long as
they ere addressed as "mademoiselle.'
They have discovered suggestion OF
inferiority, their resolutions even say
Of servitude, in the custom that
would refuse their sex collective and
all-embracing title. A he, OF whatever
age, is always monsieur" Why should
not a she be always "madame?, The
heroines Of Racine. Corneille and Mo-
ljere. married or not, were never any
thing but madame" and the dignity
Of the sex demands, apparently. that
the invidious distinctions Of modern
usage should be dropped. AS matter
of fact, they have already been
dropped, partly, at any rate, in the
American Athens" The street car
conductors Of Boston are compelled to-
address all their women passengers as,
madam" without reference to age,
color or race, previous condition OF
servitude or present condition OF cloth

self were taken with the grip. | was SO
bad was not able to situp. I sent for
a doctor, but he did me no good.
:. Finally I sent and got bottle Of
Peruna and commenced to take it. /
took two bottles and my cough was
gone and my lungs loosened up and my
head became clear. My little girl took
the same way.
"H looked as though she would die,
she was so sick. Igave her medicine,
but II seemed to do her little good, so
sent and got one more bottle of Pc

upon the winner approached the cage a

forth his hand, evidently to mark" "
the right lion, but was stopped by an
employe, who cautioned him to be care
ful or he might smart" for his haste.

"the lion must be taken away seance

"you have kept your word in Offering
me a live lion, but would rather have
dead one! Give me five minutes to
get a gun and I will soon settle the
matter" r. ..-.s
The manager said he had no objec-
tion to that plan, but added: What
will you do with dead lion? You
will only get the skin. Now, have
the skin of a dead lion, which will
give you, and you can let me keep the
live lion This arrangement, which
saved much trouble to everybody. was
