rhe Married Woman's sympathy.

When a married woman meets par ticulariy attractive. busy. eontented spinster, she says plalntively: Poor Ada, or Virginia, or Emmellne, What a pity that she never married," She cannot help it any more than she can help the color of her hair. When Frederick--fumbllng dreadfully, by the way-sllpped the ring upon her finger, he endowed her not only with all his worldly goods, but also with an inerad- icable pity for those upon whose hand the yellow band has pever gleamed. If he had taken to beating her the fol- lowing week, had developed an undue appetite for drink the next month and had deserted her the following year. she would still have looked with pat ronage upon me, unbeaten. unac- quainted with intoxication, undeserted There is no wife so unhappy, so neg lected, so trampled upon, that she has not in her own opinion some one still more pitiabie to whom to condescend. and that is any unmarried woman, no matter how busy, how cheerful. how popular.-Anne O'Hagan in Harper's Bazar.

Fond of Grab,

4 jolly old boy from the AIidlands entered into one Of the hotels at the seaside and, seeing on the slab on the right crab dressed on the shell with legs, claws and parsley ranged round, said to the landlord:
 What dye call that?"
 Grab" was the answer.
 Looks good. I'll have un, and gie us a pint of ale"
 Bread and butter was added and the diner left to his dinner. In about an hour the genial landlord entered the dining saloon to see if his guest was getting on all right. He found him chawing up the last claw, the chawer red in the face, but beaming.
 Like the crab, sir?''
 ''Yes. He was capital. I never tast- ed one afore, but think you baked un a little too long. The crust was hard. Let's have another pint"
 He had eaten the lot-sheu, claws and all cOmplete.-London Tit-Bits.

An Epitaph of Pope's.

The following epitaph written by Pope was highly commended by John son. It was written to keep alive the memory of Elizabeth Corbett, who sleeps now in St. Margaret's, West minister: Here rests a woman, good without pre-
 tense. Best with plain reason and with sober
 sense: No conquest she but OCT herself desired; No arts essayed, but not to be admired. Passion and pride were to her soul un-
 known. Convinced that virtue only is our own; So unaffected, so composed a mind, So firm, yet soft; so strong. yet so refined. Heaven, as its purest gold, by tOrtures
 tried; The saint sustained it, but the woman
 died.

Persons who do not belong to the nobility cannot have the right to put won" before their names. A man who is knighted for some reason, however, has the same right to put won" before his family

Haven of Resf

It is desirable that each sex should occasionally escape from the other. It is restful to the nerves to do so; it is good for men to be with men only and for women to be alone with women now and then, and the club is essen tiaily the place for each sex to find rest from the other and enjoy it's own society.-London Lady's Pictorial.

MONTHLY REPORTS. To Be Made Hereafter by Consolidat. ed Road Instead of Quarterly.

After July first the New York, New Haven and Hartford road will file monthly statements regarding the condition of its finances instead of the usual quarterly statement of years past. Not only will stockhold- CTS and investors be able to get a better idea of the roads condition at all times but the reports themselves under the new law are to be more complete and representative of the true status of affairs.
 Four distinct accounts will be giv- en as follows: Operating revenues, operating expenses, expense for road and equipment, and locomtive, car and train miles. This definition of betterments and additions will re- suit in keeping the cost of improve ments out of operating expenses and therefore of excluding them from the cost of performing current business. Other features of minor import are also provided for and the working out of this new system which goes into effect next month is awaited with much interest.

 About midnight the dog got up and managed to make his escape from the tent. Tn the next lot was valu- able colt owned by Edward Crippen and 1t was no time before the dog had tackled the colt and the entire neigh borhood was aroused by the shrieks of the injured animal. Cows that were pastured nearby took up the cry and young Tromble and Davis, aroused from their slumbers. went to the colts rescue. and after a hard fight with the infuriated dog, they succeeded in driving him to cover.
 The colt was so badly injured that the services of veterinary surgeon were required and 1t Is not known just how serious the injuries will prove. MT Davis has stated his will ingness to make the damage right.
