 An anti-dirting club has been started in St Petersburg, the penalty for in- faction of the rules being that the first time the guilty one shall pay $500 to charity and for the second offense five times that sum. Apparently the penal ties are heavy enough to effect cure, but we fmagine that there will be a number of falls from grace and per haps they will be come so general that the members will finally get together and call it all off. At any rate the for nation of such a club ill St Petersburg, the home of ffirtations, is one of the humorous things of the age.-spring- field News.

Jewish residents own considerable tenement property in "the Bowery," as a certain section of the city is called; and they have asked the aid of the board of health in evieting the Mahometans, who, it is claimed, crowd together without regard to sanitary conditions and the decencies of life, The Jewish landlords do not object to the Syrian Catholics, but the Mahometans must go. What with Mahometan settlement in New New England and Buddhist schools in Chicago it seems as if the ranks of the heather at our door are being filled with even more diversity than our rapidly increasing native-born heather can supply,-Boston Pilot.

Lamar girls are good looking and accomplished. There can be no doubt about that. but what does it avail a girl to gain the whole world and not get a husband? There's only one thing for you to do, girls. That's to descend upon the more populous towns where the marriageable fellows congregate If you haven't an aunt, OF a cousin or a sister-in-law living at one of these places, fish up some other excuse. Go for your health, if you can't find any other reason for your temporary change of residence.
