I:
ENNUI'S FAIR CAPTIVES.
TWO MAIDENS WHO WANTED TO
SEE LIFE’S GlLDED SIDE.
Milk and Water Adventures in a Museum
Fail to Realize Imagination’s Picture.
Disgusted Because Their Search Un-
earths Nothing “Outrageous."
One sloppy morning, several weeks ago,
two young women living on the Hill met at
the home of one of them for the purpose of
dissecting their fellow men and women, com-
paring notes and exchanging experiences, and
in due time Inadea mutual discovery that life
in St. Paul was decidedly flat and stale, if not
altogether unprofitable.
“Now, in New Yor 3” yawned Marion,
wearily, “when society begins to pull, the
girls go slumming and do nice things like
that.” Marion is a blonde, and looks as if
her spirit walked only in the sunlight of
angels’ wings. “But here the most exciting
filing we ever do is to give a masquerade,
which makes us a lot of worry and work and
expense, and when it is over we find we have
only succeeded in making ourselves perfectly
hideous by a misguided selection of costume,
and have had nothing but a dancing party
after all.”
Maude thought they ought to be able to de-
vise something that would have at least a
grain of spice. “What do you say to going
to the dime museum?” she said abruptly.
“There might be something in it.”
“There is,” exclaimed Maude triumphantly,
“and it’s a ‘Human Balloon.’ I read so in
the morning paper.”
“I suppose he would have a few clothes
on?” remarked Marion doubtfully.
“Oh, of course; tights anyway. Let’s go.”
And so it happened that the two daring
young ladies concealed their aristocratic fea-
tures behind thick veils, and trusting their
lives to the integrity of the cable (as the first
step in their reckless adventure, perhaps),
came down by the common route and sneaked
—-aye, verily, sneaked into the dime museum.
“Heavens! What smells so?” gasped Ma-
rion at the top of the stairs.
“It’s the aroma of novelty, machcre. You
may change, you may alter the house if you
will, but the scent of the freak will cling
round it still.”
“That sounds as if you had been hero be-
fore,” and Marion cast an eye of suspicion
upon her friend.
“Well, I haven’t, but I went into a side
show once at a circus. Marion Hilltop,” she
whispered, grasping that young woman’s arm
with a blackend-blue clutch, “I actually be-
lieve that man is in his skin!”
“Nonsense! Let go my arm. It’s pink
silk, and not much of a fit either; but it does
look a little like skin at first."
The human balloon rose and spoke his little
piece; then drawing a prolonged inspiration
he expanded his chest and stomach until his
body was more than twice the original size,
held it a moment, and with a slow expira-
tion gradually decreased to his normal pro-
portions.
“It makes me sick,” declared Marion.
“I believe it’s a trick,” rejoined Maude.
“I’ll bet anything it’s some kind of a rubber
arrangement that he blows up some way
with air. Let’s look at the monkeys.”
“Thanks; I meet too many English apes
capering around in society to find anything
amusing in the African species. Maude, what
do you suppose the men are looking at
through those round holes over there on the
side?”
“Well, I’ve been watching, and there hasn’t
a single woman gone over yet. I expect it’s
something pretty bad. Would you dare look?
Merciful goodness! Is the place on fire?”
“No, mom,” responded a bystander, eject-
ing a stream of tobacco juice from a swollen
jaw. “It’s the crowd a—rushin’ down to see
the seals.”
THEY TAKE ‘1 THE SHOW.
The two girls, determined to see it all, fol-
lowed the unsavory throng, and to this day
the possible impropriety that hid beyond that
row of bull’s eye holes remains a tantalizing
mystery to them. The performance of trained
seals they found really interesting. The
juvenile seal was quite as kitteuish as the
stage juvenile always is; the topical song
seal sang the usual number of verses with
the traditional lack of voice, and received the
same old encores; the funny business bore the
suthorative stamp of ripe old age, and on the
whole the entertainment was . just as well
worth sceingas two-thirds of the combina-
tions put upon the regular boards, and hada
decided advantage over the latter in that the
performers were seals and not persons.
“I didn’t see any for on them that looked
like my sealskin coat,” commented Marion as
the curtain fell.
“Perhaps they’ve shed their coats. I think
I’ve read that some animals do shed their out-
side skin when they got in a warmer cli-
mate.”
“No, I think you’re wrong, Maude, about
that. But perhaps the fur grows on the in-
side. I shouldn’t wonder if it did, because if
it was on the outside it would got so stuck
with ice crawling around on icebergs”
“How do you know they do?" interrupted
Maude.
“Because, don’t you remember, the pir"
in our geographies always represented seals
as sunning themselves on iceberg "
At the foot of the stairs they loam! a man
selling tickets for “a first class theatrical per-
formance by the English Novelty company
of celebrated artists; gentleman wiE! please
remove their hats.”
“A variety show," whispers: Marion.
”I’ve always been dying to go to one. I
guess we won't buy reserved seats, but stand
back here. We may have to leave."
And a “variety” show it- was. but absolute-
ly free from any impropriety. They found
it sufficiently intensting to remain to the
close, although considerably disappointed at
the absence of anything sensational. Tho
vocalists had better voices than the average
singer in firm. class burlesque, and were cos-
tumed rather more modestly. The jokes, if
somewhat moss grown, were at least not nu-
pleasantly suggestive, and the specialties
were all cleverly done. The artist who played
popular airs on a violin with anything under
the light of the sun from a washboard to an
old shoe, as Maude afterward said, gave bet-
ter music than Iloey does with his peculiar
instrument in “A Parlor Match," to say
nothing of the man who proved that real
melody can be extracted from a penny whis-
tle in the hands—or mouth, rather—of a
genius.
“Well, we haven’t been or heard :1 single
thing the least bit outrageous, have we!" re—
marked Marion, in a disgusted tone, as they
walked down Seventh street. “But it’s been
1 great lurk. \Vonder if any one saw us.
Suppose we wind ofl’ with blue points and a
pint bottle?”
Maude hesitated. “I would, but 1 want to
beat home by 5, and I’ve got to change my
gown, and curl my bang, and”-
“Maude Anthony, you have an engagement
with —; oh, you sly thing! Well, I‘ll go

woman to whom he could confide his deeper
thoughts and sentiments—one who would un-

Pioneer Prose
When I reached intellectual maturity and
began to ask myself whether I wasan atheist,
a theist or a pantheist, a materialist or an
idealist, a Christian are free thinker, I found
that the more I learned and reflected the less
ready was the answer, until at; last I came to
the conclusion that 1 had neither art nor
part with any of these denominations, except
the last. The one thing in which .most of
these good people were agreed was the one
thing in which I differed from them. They
were quite sure they had attained a certain
“gnosis”—had, more or less successfuly, solved
the problem of existence—while I was quite
sure I had not, and had a pretty strong con-
viction that the problem was insoluble. This
was my situation when I had the good fort-
une to find a place among the members of the
Metaphysical society. Most of my colleagues
were -ists of one sort or another. I, who was
a man without a rag of a label to cover my-
self with, felt like the fox who had lost his
fall. So I took thought and invented what I
conceived to be the appropriate title of ag-
nostic. It came into my head as suggestively
antithetic to the gnostic of church history,
who professed to know so much about the,
very things of which I was; ignorant. and I
took the earliest opportunity of paradingr it
at our society to show that I, too, had a tail
like the other foxes.

A Reminiscence of Paine.
“I remember riding home in a horse car
with Henry W. Paine one day." remarked a
story teller, apropos of the (ninent Maine
jurist. “Paine was readinga sheepskin bound
volume of law reports. A mutual acquaint
anoe bailed him and said: “See here, Paine.
do you have to study law still?"
“ ‘This isn’t law,’ mid Paine, ‘it’s only a
collection of decisions of the Massachusetts
supreme court. ”—Louisville Journal.
An English authority is responsible for the
statement that ears of barley, it put in a
vaseso that the lower end just touches the
water, will send up blades. It recommends
keeping the vases in the dark, as one keeps
the porous ware vases in which grass grows
so prettily.

ONLY A COLLAR. .
Two Little Beauties Went A-Sllopplng
and the Clerk Died That Night.
“Oh, wait a moment, Flo; I want to stepin
here and get me a collar; it won’t take me
but just a minute.”
So they went into Linnen 8r. Cottou’s, and,
after stopping at various counters to price
some ribbons, gloves, lace, fans, hairpins,
buttons, silk, chenille, saxony, passementerie .
and slippers, none of which they had any idea
of purchasing, they found themselves at the
collar and cuff counter.
“Let me see some collars, please,” said
Bessie.
“All linen?” asked the clerk.
“Oh, yes, certainly, all linen."
“Square or round cornered?”
“I hardly know. Let me see both kinds!
What kind do you like best,,Floi”
“Oh, I don’t know, really. It don’t make
much difference.”
“No, so it don’t, for"—
“What number, miss?”
“0h, let me see! I declare if I don’t always
forget just what number I do wear. Thir-
teen, 1 'think. What number do you wear,
Flo?”
“Twelve and a half. ”
“Do you? I shouldn’t think I’d wear a
larger number than you, would you?”
“I don’t know.”
“I suppose my neck is— No, I don‘t want
so high a calm as that. Do you like a high
collar, Flo?”
“I hardly know, really.”
“Of course it depends altogether on the
kind of a neck one has. Mine is as long as a
stork’s.”
“Oh, Flo!" .
“It is E" , ‘ '
“How ridiculous! I think”-——'-
“Here is a lower collar, miss."
“Oh, that’s too low. Don‘t you think so,
Flo?” '
“It is rather low, really.”
“Of course it is, I always—oh, look at these
haudkerchiefs back of us! Aren’t they
lovely?"
“Aren’t they? , I do love a pretty handker-
chief!”
“So do I. A real neat”—
“How do you like this collar, miss?”
“Oh, I don’t like three rows of stitching at
the top; do you, Flo?”
“Two rows 1001i better, I think.”
"So do I. Let me see seine with two rows. ”
“Yes’m; here’s one.” ,
“Yes, I see, um—um—um—n‘iomehow I
don’t just like that either; do you. F102"
“1 don’t know, Ieally."
“Looksso kind of—of—I don‘t know just
how, but I don’t like it. The stitching is so
far apart; don’t you think so, Flo?"
“I don’t know but it is."
“Let me seo something with only one row
of stitching. Oh, I don't like that; do you,
Flo?"
“I don’t know, really.”
“It don’t look like it was all linen;- does i-J,
Flo?”
“No, I don’t believe it does," .,
“I’m sure it isn’t. I‘ve a notion to get
some ruching and let the collar go; would
you?”
“011, suit yourself, dear.”
“Do you like ruching?”
“Oh, yes.”
“I believe I will get it.”
They spend half an hour at the rocking
counter, and then race back to the collar de-
partment, and finally emerge from the store
in just eighty-seven minutes after they enter
it, Bessie having concluded by this time
that she “didn’t believe she‘d get the collar
today anyhow,” and she doesn’t—Z. D. in

A New Chinese Runway.
It is reported that the Bank of Hong Kong
and Shanghai is to float for the Chinese gov"
crnment a 5 per cent. loan of £500,000. to
enable the government to construct a rail-
way from Tientsin to Pekin,'an enterprise
long contemplated, the total cost of which bi
estimated at £2,500,000. The first and only
Chinese railway now in existence—that from
Taku to Tieutsen—is aid to be doing remark-
ably well. The results of that experiment

Philanthropy 01' Advertising?
“Do good by stealth and blush to find it
fame" may have been excellent advice when
Mr. Pope wrote, but it would require reshap-
ing to bring it into harmony with modern re-
quirements. A Yorkshire coal dealer who
has been doing good by stealth on quite an
extensive scale, now has cause to blush at
finding himself fined by a police magistrate.
This philanthropic trader owns a weighing
machine which gives his customers twenty-
ono pounds overweight on every hundred
weight. Some time ago his attention was
officially drawn to the fact, and be received
solemn warning that if he continued his sin-
ful benevolence he would be summoned. A
weighing machine that gives overweight is as
illegal as one that does the other thing, the
law demanding a perfect ad justmcnt of bal-
ance. This coally Samaritan refused to be—
lieve, however, that his stealthy benef actions
were punishable, and so persisted in adding
tho little bonus to every hundred weight of
black diamonds that left his shop. A fine of
55. and costs is the result, the bench express-
ing the opinion that it looked a little hard to
punish a man for cheating himself to benefit
his customers. It does look hard. no doubt,
but what a splendid advertisement l—London
Globe.
' ungcr Behind the Boards.
In many old country houses there are wide
mouthed, discarded fireplaces that have been
walled in temporarily or permanently. not
with brick and mortar, but with boards. The
droppings of soot and ashes from the fines of
the chimney throat soon accumulate in a com-
bustible heap on the old hearth, liable, any
hour, when there is fire in any stove leading
into the fine, to ignite by a. falling spark or
cinder and set fire to this wooden partition
of a, perhaps, unused room, and the press
has another mysterious incendiarism to re-
port.
The only safe way is to brick such (he
places, or, if this is impracticable, the old
heart hstono to be spared for occasional warm-
ing, its fircbcard should he often removed
and its walls and base stones brushed clean
of soot and dust filled ashes. that are so readily
ignited, else, some night 111:1 y find yo 121‘ home
cremated—Good Housekeeping.
Itcuzedy for tho Viliitc Grub.
The use of bcnzinc has been found effectual
in France in destroying the white grubs (the
larva! of the May or dov bug), which often
do immcn damage, c: ccially 1:1 dry sca-
sous, to lav .t. s:rawl:crl_ plants, seedling
plants and otlnr nursery stock. llnlcs are
made in lhc ground infested with the grubs
.with one of lhc sharp iron dibbles used some
timesin il’i! splauliug small plants. and the
benzino is DUIJ'CII into them. Fifty grains of
benzine are mad to the nquarc yard, and care
is taken In insert it above the plane of the
feeding ground of the grubs. I11 an experi-
ment recently made by one of the French
forest ofliccrs. and reported at a meeting of
the National Agricultural society, the grubs
on twelve acres were destroyed at a cost of
only $3.20 per acre—New York Telegram.
Men and Gloves. _
The American has no time to wear gloves
unless for the purpose of keeping his hands
warm. Even the “gentleman” out fora walk
will carry his gloves in one hand when the
air is warm. There are too many men in a
hurry to permit the glove wearer to he as
frequent a sight as the bare handed man.
Men are careless, too, and others have white,
tapering fingers that they want to show, or
they wear big rings that will not let a glove
go over them, while other men have to wash
their hands so often that gloves would be a
nuisance to them. Society plays and society
novels always make their gentlemen fulfill all
the requirements of the glove code, but it will
have to be some future generation that lives
up to the mandate thereof. —Good House-
keeping.

years, is to be made into chairs for the mem-
bers of the Quiunipiac club, of New Haven.
This tree was doubtless the oldest along the
Atlantic coast, although the authoritiesdiffer
as to its age, and the largest oak in the world.
Oliver Wendell Holmes said the tree was at
least eighteen hundred years old, and Pro-
fessor Abbott, of New York, who made a
careful examination of the monster eighteen
years ago, said it could not be less than two
thousand years old, while Professor Eaton
stands with these authorities by stating the
age of the tree as ranging from fifteen hun-

A WOMAN’S ADVICE.
The Rich Experience and Earnest
Counsel Given by a Lady who wishes
the Good of Her Sex.
The oillcial statistics for New England show
that more than three-fourths of all who die are
females. This is something appalling. To think
of the thousands of beautiful, delicate and
lovely women, who pass each year into untimely
graves, and often after long suffering, is
terrible. Some die of
fevers. some of child-
birth. and some of in.
heritcd disease, but by far
the greater number pass
away by the innumerable
troubles known as female
‘\' omethlug about these
complaints that makes
one shudder to think of.
It would seem that they
are needless, but we find
most women weakened, depressed, sallow, sub-
ject to pains and distresscs. and periodically
sick.
Probably no woman ever knew more about
or sympathized more :keenly w1thOsutIer1ng
than Mrs. Wm. A. Livermorc. Speaking on the
subject recently, she sand: , .
" I have sometimes felt that life was a failure
when I saw how much suffering there was, but.
I have found out how to overcome these great
troubles which 115le womuukmd. First. of all
careful living is necessary. and then Ibelleve
that if every woman who feels weak, or de-
pressed or sick from the troubles which con.
stant) come to her sex, would use the great
reme y which I have found so good, she could
be certainly restored to health and hop iness. I
do not know its ingredients, but Hunt's emedy
is beyond question the greatest compound ever
offered to suffering
women. I have used
it and seen its good
effects. I have seen
women so low that ,
theylonsed 10rdcath , .
brou ht back to .
healt , vigor and
life once more. I
believe it has the,
wer to make any '-
oman happier, to
banish her suffer- g
lugs. and prolong a.
