The Heron and the DOC.

When wounded a heron defends it
self with the utmost gallantry. A
farmer once came upon an old bird
winged by an accidental shot and set
his dog, a large collie, upon it. The
dog pressed home his attack with great
determination on this strange adver-
sary, but blow after blow was rained
on its body by the bird, which used its
long, spearlike bill with such effect
that in the end the dog was routed
and waited at a safe distance. with its
tail between its legs. until the farmer
shot the bird. Country Life.

health and vigor to the inmates and instead of

and when fully equipped it will become refuge
indeed for the sick. Perfect quiet and rest is
fully appreciated by the insane and the relatives
of the insane ought TO be thankful for this wise
We wish to call your attention to the ur-
healthy condition Of the water closets and ask
for some radical change. Unless some attention
is given to this fact will sooner or later have
some serious sickness. During the winter
months especially when the windows and doors
are closed the air ia the wards is contaminated.
Prevention is cheaper than cure and there fore
we ask for some change along this line if pos
sibe.

THE New York girl is a type alone.
She is distinctly different from the girls
of any other American city. TIE alert
ness of New York life. the opportunities
for observation of all that is best and
ambition-creating, have made her a
creature of grace and advanced beauty
'She seems To have acquired all the
best qualities from an artistic stand
point, of the French. the English, and
the German, and in painting her an artist
finds all the good points ia her that can
be found in any OF her European sis
ters.
las for her gowns, she has, far in
advance of the girl OF any other cOun-
try, the knowledge Of how 10 wear them
and what to select This, as much as
her carriage, adds tremendously to her
charms"
By Nine. Anne Dupont:
The women Of New York are beauti-
full. the most beautiful in fact in the
world. They illustrate the splendid
progress of the sex in refinement, in
carriage, in manners, in dress.
Their out-Cf-door life and training
has given them lithesomeness and

More than this, il is quite probable
that these valuations, made by their own

ing in Washington several days, called
on the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Yesterday at noon, and spent an
hour or more. Mr.. Hill presented him
self at the commissions hearing room.
v hile the Commissioners were on the
bench. and listened for a time TO the
proceedings. When the lunch-time id
iourument was taken he stepped for
ward and talked with the Commission
ers. over the bench, for few moments.
finally going with Chairman Knapp 20
Mr.. Knapp's Office, where they spent
some time.
Mr.. Hin spoke only Of general aspects
Of the railroad question. He observed
that the country continues to raise and
make things faster than the railroads
can maui them.
His own idea is that the policy which
he has long enforced on his own roads.
OF using big freight cars. and insisting
that every car be filled TO its capacity
for every trip, and that every locomo-
tive shall haul the maximum safe load
on every run. gives the most promise OF
meeting the present eXigency.
Mr. Hnl did not discuss the affairs
of his own system. He was accom-
panied in Washington by two or three
members Of his family, and they return
