 Life seems to be gayer at the Inn than at any of the mountain places and it is immensely fashionable. The dining hour assemblies many interesting parties and the women wear the smartest of gowns, which naturally adds to the life of the Inn. delightful orchestra plays during the dining hour, people gather in the music room, or form congenial parties on the verandas overlooking the lake, or assembling about the card tables, make bright picture.
 The stages arc filled with gay parties going on mountain drives, but the real life of the Inn is one of leisure, rather than excitement, of luxury, rather than | the discomforts of mountain climbing and life seems more like the indolent ease and charm of the Florida resorts. ANNIE KENDRICK WALKER.

Cincinnati a Paradise.

From the New York Sun.
 Now, when the early commuter is thinking of putting in' his coal and grumbling at the size of the bill, Gin c1nnati is having happy days. See Cincinnati Enquirer:
 Competition for business among the retail coal dealers of the city has be- come so aggressive that coal merchants are beginning to size up the situation very seriously. Yesterday one of the big companies announced that 1t will give thirty trading stamps with each load of coal, and hardly had the tremor caused by this startling announcement passed off until it was known that an- other company has under consideration closing contract for 1000 good, sub stantiaP coal buckets, one to be given with each ton of coal"
 These gifts are but beginnings. Cases of beer, gold watches, round trip" tickets to Europe may be looked for Even the appalling wickedness of Hon. George B. Cox, as pictured by word painters and moralists of the Fefawfum School, can't keep Cincirnr.ti from be- ing little paradise.

Determining Sex.

From the New York Press.
 pr. Hays, an authority on Roman his tory, says that in the time of the Cae- sars it was the custom of Roman women to carry an egg in the bosom to determine the sex of an expected child. If the chick that was matched there turned to be a rooster the child would be boy; if 1t was a bullet, the child would be a girl. This was thor oughly believed in. It worked all right in the case of Mrs. Caesar-one of them; hence it's vogue.

 The Belgian administration has asked the congress to appropriate $10,6l 900 for a new railway into Germany via Louvain, St. Trond and Argenteau.
 The new line will help to meet the close competition of the Dutch railways. Every effort will be put forth to make travel as comfortable as possible and to increase speed as far as is consistent with safety. It is hoped that the speed will reach 120 miles an hour. There will be no grade crossings, the grades will be light and the radius of every curve will be at least 2o00 yards.
 The projected road will connect Central Germany with Antwerp, the port of entry into Belgium.
