First Open Air Concert.

The first open air concert of the
season took place last Sunday after
noon, when Taylor's band played at
the Lake Park pavilion. The weather
on Saturday promised TO be warm
but a brisk wind came up Saturday
night, and while the sun shone very
brightly throughout the day, Sunday
the atmosphere was decidedly chilly.
Notwithstanding this fact, however,
quite a number of pleasure seekers
journeyed to the park, and seemed
to thoroughly enjoy the concert.

Hose Wagon Ordered.

The City Council, through the fire
committee, has placed an order for a
modern hose wagon with the La
France Fire Engine Company, and
the same will at once be built for

particular; it will have a capacity
of eleven hundred feet of hose; will
be built of steel; will be equipped
with four Babcock fire extinguishers,
and will have every modern conven-
ience and attachment The new wag-
on, when complete, will cost $1,000,
but it will be one of the best fire
fighting equipments in the tSate.

FAULTS OF THE MISTRESS.

Not Always as considerate as She
Might Be.
The capable mistress. is generally
the most considerate, and there is no
question but that she is the strongest
factor in the production of whatever
good service is given in the household
to-day, writes Jane Seymour Klink, in
the Atlantic. Nevertheless, she is
sometimes inconsiderate, and in this
way: She can turn off work. so
quickly herself that she often forgets
others have not the same ia Guilty.
Girls In a new place are often slow
just because they are. so nervously
anxious to please.aA5 capable mistress,
impatient because things are not muv-
Ing so rapidly as she knows they can
move, does not always give a maid
the two weeks trial, by which she
could do herself justice. Again, the
capable mistress comes into the kitch-
en- to make a cake. Everything is
ready to her hand, and she whisks
up the cake in aTfewi minutes, telling
Jane to bake it carefully. She goes
up stairs and contrasts her quickness
with James slowness, forgetting that
she had neither placed things in readi-
ness, nor cleared them away, neither
super!ntended the baking.

Their Ideas About Women.

. The Hottentots and Bushmen believe
women are necessary evil, and the
younger they break their wives in the
better. They feel that ten years Is
none too young, for girls of these years
are more pliable and more easily mold
ed. It must be granted that the Hot
tentots use milder methods than do
the Australians. They do not kill the
girls who refuse to marry. The Hot
tentot often goes to the hut of cir,
and makes her a cup of coffee, ther
hands it to her without adding a word.
If she drinks half of it he knows he:
Answer is -"yes." If she refuses to
touch the coffee he feels his suit is
hopeless, but he is not grieved; he
visits neighboring hut and tries his
luck again. "..~.
