the morning of June fourth last. The first
trial was interrupted by the illness of a
Juror, when it was about half finished,
and then there was wait OF months be-
fore the girl again publicly faced her ac-
cusers.
This time the iury after hearing all the
evidence was unable to agree and she
went back to the Tombs prison to await
the convenience OF the courts and the dis
trict attorney before making another CT
fort to regain her freedom.
when there seemed no prospect or an
immediate trial, Miss Patterson's counsel
procured n writ Of habeas corpus about a
mCith ago and had bcr taken into the
supreme court, when a request was made
that n date for triul be fixed at once or
the young woman be released on bail.
As a result OF this proceeding, District
Attorney Jerome was ordered 20 place
Miss Patterson on trial before May ]. \
few days later q was announced that
April 10 had been assigned for the begin

lands cannot begin to compete AT
sea one lives from day to day, from hour
to hour, drifting along with the current
of circumstance.
The air is as full of romance as it is
of salt; a tonic to the nerves, likewise IT
stimulates the imagination.
A bachelor. therefore, unless he is a
woman -hater or devoted to bridge whist,
takes his life of freedom in his hands
when he sets out on a big ocean liner for
a voyage across 1.-The pond'' he is likely,
before he gets to the other side, to offer
It to some fair lady as a souvenir of the
trip.
On the other hand, pretty girl whose
chaperon does not exercise due care may
put her peace of mind in pawn ere port
is reached.
Flirtations at sea may mean much or
they may mean nothing. Occasionally
they are entertaining first chapters to
good old-fashioned love stories, which
end in the marriage of the lovers and
their living happily ever afterward.
Sometimes they preface real heart trage-
dies But usually. of course, they are
nothing more than attention without
intention dainty little game for
two.
The gossips with ready-made virtues
who line the deck with their steamer
chairs always have enough to occupy
their eyes and tongues.
Even the stupid but gorgeous peacock
squad. marching indefatigably two by
two, may stir ones curiosity by their
sentimental air.
The girl who docs not care how she
looks because she knows so we'll that
she is doubly charming when the sea
breeze tosses her curly hair, and the
handsome and Indifferent young man who
distur bs the feminine heart by his cool
disregard of its proximity. are natural
magnets for romance.
And the contrast between the joyous
maidens to whom cavaliers are declaring
by word and deed an eternal love
which will last in all probability until
the ship reaches Havre-and those sedate
married ladies whose husbands love to
linger in the smoking-room brings to
mind that light cynicism of Honore de

a husband, for the same reason that it
is easier to be witty every LAY than now

so little to do and so little of general in
terest to talk about that one drifts in
evitably into companionship and person
alities.
Besides, there is poetry to be had for
the finding. 'Tis in the deep. mysterious
voice of the loud-sounding sea, in the
rainbow which the sunshine makes
across the spray at the PROV, in the fine
ripples beyond, which spread out upon
the waters exquisitely like a mermaid's
floating hair; in the sunset. in the twi-
light and in strange lack depths of
night.

TRICK OF IMAGINATION.

There's a little mental science trick
that will teach imaginative persons to
acquire perfect, graceful poise, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. One says i'm
aginative" with reason, for you have
to have an imagination to do it. You
must imagine that you bear scintil-
lating star on your breast and a basket
Of eggs On your head.
The first fancy will unconsciously in
f1uence you to carry your shoulders like
a military man bent on exhibiting his
geld buttons. The second will teach
you to sink into your chair gently and
gracefully instead of bouncing into it.
Also it will train you to climb stairs
erect You can't twist or bend over
as women usually do in going up stairs
if you have basket of eggs on your
head-even an imaginary one-can
you?
So put on the flashing gold star,
WHICH is worn to be seen, and set the
basket of eggs on your head and see
what the combined fancy will do for
your carriage.

hustiing, so far as tailors are concerned
is over the ''sheep to coat course. This
1eat IN the art of hurrying received a
great impetus in 1871, when Sir John
Throgmorton made a bet of $1,000 that at
o'clock on a certain evening he would
sit down to dine in a suit, the wool of
which had been shorn the same morning.
1t is now a matter of history that the
various processes were completed in thir-
teen hours and that Sir John won the
wager with an hour to spare. That mod
ern methods have improved upon those
of almost hundred years dgo was made
clear few years ago when Americans
accomplished the same feat in the mar
velous time of six hours and four min
utes, of which period six tailors were
engaged for two and a half hours in
completing the tailoring portion of the

seven small loayes were taken from the

Some few weeks ago. in the course of
legal proceedings instituted at New York,
ii transpired that a certain George Lehay
met girl at the theater for the first
time during the performance of ''The For
lorn Hope" and during the third act he
proposed to and actually married her the
same evening. This was a smart per-
formance and apparently the BRIDE
groom duly smarted, for he speedily OBJ
tanned a divorce on the ground that the
lady already possessed a husband who
was living. Nowadays those who marry
in haste do not even repent at leisure;
this is an age of hustle, and repentance
is hurried through at express speed.

occurring in great numbers along the

cattle. The animals frequent the shall

and while thus exposed are attacked
