It is not too much to say that the most prominent figure in metropolitan colored society to-day is Miss Maria Miller. Not only is she prominent by reason of her intelligence and come- liness, but as the recipient of $400 a month during her natural life, she probably enjoys a larger income than any single colored woman in New York city, and very likely in the Uni- ted States. ' It was owing to the bounty of that charming international character, the late Anna. Wilhelmina lVilkens Hicks-Lord, that Maria Miller came into this sudden prominence and af- fluence. By the terms of Mrs. Hicks- Lord’s will Maria Miller comes into the possession of a life estate of near- ly $5,000 a year. Concerning her fortune she said: “Mrs. Hicks-Lord was more like a mother to me than a mistress. She was always kind and gentle; never spoke in anger, and never seemed to think that what she had was too good for me. All her servants loved her, but perhaps I loved her more “than any of the others, for you see I grew up in her service, and was her 31- l most constant companion. I was born in New York forty-four years ago. My father was a West Indian negro, but my mother Was' a native New Yorker. Neither was ever a slave. “When I was about six yearsold my parents died, and I went to live with an aunt. She sent me to a pub- lic school, where -I remained until I was about fourteen, and then—I don’t know just how it happened—I entered the employ of my late mis- tress. She was then the‘ young wife of Mr. Hicks, and was in thehey-‘dey of her social career. ‘Althoifgh only a child she selected me as her maid, and trfught me my duties. As she was always kind and gracious, it was not long before I came to love her deeply and de‘votedly. While I acted as her maid-she would not allow my domestic duties to interfere with my mental training, and went so far as‘to hire a tutor for me. It is owing to this great generosity that I possess what education and literary taste I have.” The Average Man. The “average man” is, for the most part, a very astonishing person, whom no one has ever seen. He is like the average weather, which is mathemati- cally computed, or aimed at, at the end of a month, and which is not like any actual weather that prevailed at any time during the month. The average man, it should be noted, is lazier than one would suppose. A statistician has reckoned up his labors, and finds at fifty years of‘ age he has toiled six thousand five hundred days of twenty-four hours each. During the same time the average man slept six thousand days of twen- ty-fuor hours each. He has played four thousand days and been ill five hun- dred. ‘ . He has travelled twelve thousand miles, taken thirty-six thousand meals, eaten fifteen thousand pounds of meat and four thousand pounds of fish, eggs and vegetables, and drunk eleven thousand gallons of liquids. Under this account the average man appears to be a greedy person; and yet there have undoubtedly been cc- casions when he has gone hungry. Spontaneous Combustion in Ice-Houses. The' Iowa Dairy Mutual Fire Insur- ance company has issued a circular containing the [following on sponta- neous combustion: “Sawdust in icehouses is self~ignit- able, caused by spontaneous combus- tion in hot weather. In order to avoid a fire from above cause ,thc sawdust should not be allowed to pile up over four or five inches on' top of the ice. The surplus should be re- moved and kept out of the ice house. Where the sawdust is allowed to ac cumulate on top of your ice it will consumehthe ice.” And He Wouldn't Do That. “Hubly, what in the deuce do you mean by letting that note I endorsed for you to go to protest?” “Why. man, there was no other way unless I paid the thing.”-—-Detroit Free Press.
