BOSTON AND OLD BALTIMORE.
Bits of Two Cities Which Might Be
Transplanted.

Transplanted.
Boston is spectacularly unlike New
York or Washington, cities of mag
nificent vistas, but somewhat like
Baltimore, which is still, in spite of
huge characterless areas thridded by
narrow streets and crowded with dis
tressing pressed brick fronts, a city
of picturesque bits and dignified an
tique survivals. Fifth avenue at dusk
crowd afoot and on wheels, with the
bewildering noises of street and side
walk, and the binding glare of lights
that attack the eye alike from street
lamps and shop windows, and by
reflection from CLASSY wet surfaces,
seems like some huge, implacable, ir-
resistabe embodiment of power NOV
ing pitilessly onward, car of Jug
gernaut, into interminable space.
Boston has nothing like this to show.
Nor has it aught nearly resembling
the large and serene beauty of the
National Capitol grounds, seen at a
distance upon clear June morning,
when that lovely dome floats like a
huge bubble upon the deliciously
green tops of the surrounding trees,
while soft and stainless sky seems
the fitting frame to an exquisite
spectacle.
There are bits of old Baltimore,
however, which look as if transplant
ed directly from Boston, and Balti-
more's finest urban precinct, that
within the shadow of the Washington
Monument, could be transferred to
Boston without looking homesick.
The surviving old-fashioned houses
in by-streets bordering this precinct
look like the dwellings that front
the narrower streets in the neighbor-
hood of our delightful Louisburg
square, and the bronze statue Of
Teackle Wallis, which draws from
one who encounters it unawares the
involuntary exclamation: "This was
gentleman" might be placed upon
some open-air stairway of Boston and
betray no alien aspect.-Boston Tran.

A Cure For Colds and Grip.

There is inconvenience, suffering and
danger in a cold, and the wonder is that
people will take so few precautions against
colds. One or two Lanes Pleasant Tablets
(be sure of the name) taken when the first
snufly feeling appears, will stop the pro-
gress of a cold and save great deal of un-
necessary suffering. Druggists and dealers
generally sell these tablets, price 25 cents.

Their Own Fault,

Two women who sued a Newark
street railway company for damages
sustained by falling off a street car
lost their case because they wore un-
usually high heels on their shoes. One
of the plaintiffs declined to put her
shoes in evidence when requested to
do so. 1t was asserted that the heels,
which were of "stiltlike proportions" )"
were responsible for the injury of the
plaintiffs and not any carelessness on
the part of the company's employees.

in four years in the cost of food,
clothing and other necessary supplies.
Milk is 13 per cent higher, meat q

Woman Suffrage in Sweden.

Woman suffrage goes marching on,
Notwithstanding the frequent rebuffs
it receives in so many directions.
The latest notable practical victory
for equal suffrage is the recent vote
of the Swedish Diet. In the upper
house the vote stood 12O to 9S, and
1874 to 9S in the lower house. Hence
forward both sexes over "a years Of
age stand on the same equality.
