"Have you ever noticed," said a rotiug iiuin about town, "the foxy game tluit some girls work In the crowded street enrs for the purpose of Betting a scat? No? Why, they've worked It on me several tines during the piiHt month. The llrst time it hap pened was one night around Christ mas time. I boarded a car and got u neat. The car hoou tilled up, with women . principally, the majority or whom curried Christinas bundles. I was very tired, and, of course, I be came Interested in my paper to the ex rluslon of everything else. A moment or two later, however, I glanced u; from my paper and looked around the cnr. A rather pretty young woman, who stood Just In front of me, bowed very sweetly and said: 'Why, how do you do?' 1 tipped my hut, but for the life of mo I couldn't place her didn't know her at all. Hut she seemed to know me, and, of course, It was only proper that 1 should give her my seat. I did It, making some Idiotic remark about the weutber as she took my place. 'Oil,' she said, looking at me, rrlticiilly, 'I'm afraid I've made a mis take. I took you for an acquaintance.' She turned uway with a look of well feigned emharrtiHHiiicut. Hut she had my seat and kept It." Chicago Chroni cle. A Cane for I.ooch. Many ladles possessing rare and val uable laces, which perchance have been handed down to them from one or two generations, prize them us highly as tho most costly jewels, und to them a dain ty la co ease In which to fold a way their treasures would be Invaluable. A very lovely one could be made of Hue bolting cloth and satin. A double piece of white satin, fourteen Indies long, and live and one-half Inches wide, should he filled with one or two layers of per fumed eotton and afterwards bound iilsmt the edges with lino white silk cord, thus forming a pud, around which the lace could be carefully fold ed. Tills pad should lie placed within tho lxdting cloth, folded In book form. The bolting cloth should be embroid ered all around the edges In button hole stitch, with tine white lilo floss, and upou one side, tho word "Laces," ns well as a few (lowers scattered about, should he embroidered in white or delicate shades of washing silk. The two sides could be gracefully fastened together by means of narrow white riblKHiH. tied lu a bow. Womankind. l'race In Dentist's Chulr. Tho high-pressure existence of a woman of the world, who, like many of her kind, Is fashionable, cultured and philanthropic, and at the same time ft conscientious wife and mother, seems to au onlooker simply bewildering In Its rush from one engagement to an other, and from duty to duty. No won der that so many of our women break down und tieroiiie victims of nervous prostration! "I have been so driven lately." said a society woman the other day, "especially now -ut the end of the season, that I poslfively enjoyed a couple of IjouiV seance ut my den tist's yesterday, and actually found the experience soothing to my overstrained nerve, and the concentrated tt.n- HO tlon I wns obliged to give to the reully aevere pain almost pleasant."

Of course proper ministration to the sick Is Im possible under these circumstances, Miss Alice Maude KornbJI, a youug woman of remarkable scientific attain ments, bus determined to change this.' Miss HorabJI, tho llrst girl bachelor of science In all India, is the daughter of tho late Hev.

The Queen of Servla Is one of the few examples of royalty who have a roval bearing. She eschews soft beds and down pillows. She sleeps on a narrow ill vim with a linnl mid un vlcldlnir mat tress and without the vestige of a head rest; the consequence Is that her figure Is nerfect and the carrlntre of her head stately and natural. The royal family or Servla lias never been permittee;, as clillili'en tn liiilulirn In the nlllow bnblt. nud consequently the absence of It Is no deprivation to the beautiful Queen. Torzct for Tradesmen. The news that Miss Hetty Green has contracted the habit of dressing well has had a marked effect upon her mall. She Is in receipt of circulars from dressmakers, milliners, shoo merchants and other tradesmen Who had long ago reached the conclusion that tho richest woman in America was not a target for their shafts. It is said that even Loudon and Paris, have already heard of Mrs. Green's change of habits. Afternoon Tea Costume. Attend l.w Lecture. Some of the society women of New York have been attending a course ot lectures this season, given by a cele brated Jurist aud dealing with matters of law which uro of possible moment to women especially. Property-owners In particular need to be Informed on many such points, and many of them have embraced the opportunity. What Women Are Doing.

The Governor of Kentucky has ap pointed Dr. Catherine Uouser a phy Blcinn tn the State iusaue asylum at Ilopkinsville, lu answer to a petition signed by a great number of women aud men. ' Teetotal. It is said that the late Rev. Joel Jew ell originated the word "teetotal " The story goes that at a pnblio temperance meeting in Hector, it. V., in 1S28, he introduced into the pledge the letters "O. P." for "old pledge," which pledged against distilled liquors, and "T" for "total," including both dis tilled and fermented liquors. When names were being taken, a yonng man in the gallery said, "Add mv name and 'T.: for I am a 'T-totaler.' " Mr. Jewell adopted the word in speeches and writings. Some fonr years later an Englishman named Dick Tamer em ployed the word, and its origin has been scribed to bini. Mr. Jewell was born in Dunham, Greene county, N. Y., Feb. II, 103, and became a revivalist and temperance worker at an early age. For jver SO years he was an active Presby terian clergyman, althongh not ordained until he woj 40. New York Tribune. A FAMOUS EPITAPH. It Marks In Ponghkeepsla tlie Grave of a Self Killed Kngllnhinsn. There are some interesting epitaphs in the old graveyards In Ponghkenpsie, bnt probably none of them hus beousowido ly known und admired as that on the stone which murks the bnriul place of John Taylor lu front of Christ clinrch, oil Academy street. This epitaph has been widely pnbln-hed on both sides of tho ocean, it is said, and is believed to huvo been writtou by the Engli$ poet Willium RoKcoe and sent over for his friend Taylor's gravestone. Yet the stoue lies neglected, and the last throe lines of the epitaph huve been broken off, probably daring the work preceding the building of the new church. The epttuph was published in Benson J. LuBsing'a book on "Vassur College and Its Founder," and was greatly admired and frequently quoted by Matthew Vas sur, Jr., as many of bis friends remem ber. The inscription and epituph on the atone are as follows : In thin pot was Interred John Tuylor ' Attorney at Law tho eldest hod of Doctor John Tuylor of Bolton lu Moors, Enxland, who dUl of tlio yellow favor Bvpt. 11th, 1H06.

The last l ne is one that has been par ticularly admired nud frequently quoted, und it is gone from the stone, which is broken oS just after the fourth line from the end. That this stone should have been so mutilated seems little short r,t wamlHlicni John Tnvlnr is snid to have come to this country abont the same time that the Vassar family came, shortly after the close of the American Revolution, and at a time when the ! English government was repressing all outspoken friends of reform in fear of a repetition in England of the French revo lution. He wus the uncle of Mr. Hudson Taylor, and the grentnncle of Mr. Rob ert E. Taylor. His father, Dr. John Tay lor, was a very prominent man in bug land, with many influential friends, one of whom was the poet Roseoe, who wrote the epitaph, which reminds one very much of some of Goldsmith's best lines.

"We played from 7 o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock in the evening, as the manager demand ed plays that would lust all day, and I when I told him that we bad none or sufficient elasticity he replied that when it was all ended, we would start all over again. Well, we did. The manager was impressed with the necessity of huving a moon, und that Juliet, us near as pos sible, should ulways be kept in the moonlight. Well, the balcouy scene arrived, and there was no moon, but in the midst of Romeo's most passionate wooing, which, so fur as the light on the stage was con cerned, might have taken place at mid day, the moon suddenly uppeared. It was in the form of a lantern fixed on a bamboo pole and was swayed before my face by a little Jap who stood beneath the bulcony in f nil view of the audience. The uudieuce didu't seem to miud it in the leust, but it made me very nervous, nud every time Romeo would pour forth his soul I would ejaculate, 'Take away that moon. ' But the boy wns mindful of his instructions, that Juliet was al ways to be in the moonlight, aud dur ing the rest of the performance every time I came on the stage I was pnrsued by that awful moon. Nothing could in duce the boy to desist, and so the moon held full sway. "Rochester Union and Advertiser. Americans In Nova Scotia. .

Somerville Journal. $2,000 FOB 0NEDBINK WHAT IT WOULD COST CONGRESS MAN SOUTHWICK DURING 1896. The Hoylih Looklnc liepreaenUtlve From the Empire State Will Get 91,000 Should He He Able to Wlthttand Temptation For Three Hundred and Hlxty-il day. If Congressman Sonthwick of New I York stuto takes a drink of whisky be j fore the end of bis firsr year in congress, I it will cost bini $2,000 and some odd ' cents that is, unless the drink is a . treat, when the odd cents will be knock -! ed off, bnt the $3,000 will be the price just the same. Champagne or brandy, sherry or gin, a cocktail or absinth or whatever the drink, it will come jnst aa high. If Congressman Sonthwiok should forget himself und yield, to the tempta tions of pnuch this year, it would be tho most expensive single drink on rec ord among congressmen. On the contrary, if Mr. Sonthwick doesn't take that drink until he has been in congress SCO days, he will earn $1,000 tboreby. - Congressman Sonthwick is one ot the congressional babos. If he isn t various ly taken for page, messenger boy or some older member's yonng son it will I be a marvel. He is a nice yonng man, 0D jjj8 receut experience ?itb congress has made him yearn for whiskers like PerTer's and a head as bald as Speaker Reed's. Sonthwick insists he is 83 years old. It is all he can do now to persuade the chairman of his committee that he is old enough to vote. He is thoroughly sick of being called a beardless yonth and insists thut his residence in Albany and bis acquaintance with "The Tub" and its inmates ought to connt as more ripening experiences than those of mem bers from country districts where Al bany and "The Tub" were never heard of. The congressman is not tall, is solid ly built, has blond hair and eyebrows, " B nu UUBO' " uj He campaigned through his district of course, and campaigning isn't a temper ance job. Before he went to Washiug- ton a well known millionaire who j know thecapital's temptations suggest ed that it wus easy to ruin a congres sional careor by strict attention to the decanter and none to the house. The millionaire wanted to be sure of his boyish friend's sobriety. This is how he fixed it. . If Sonthwick touches intoxicants before the expiration of his first year in congress, be forfeits $3,000. If be doesn't, the millionaire hands over$l,000 to Sonthwick. Sonth wick told this himself. If the congressman has an enemy, when he reads this the enemy will set his brains to work to see that Sonthwick gets a $3,000 glass of whisky. Some men would be proud to have the reputa tion of having paid that much for a drink. It would quite surpass the draft of pearls Shakespeare tells about. There are endless temptations in Washington for new members of con gress. This will explain Sonthwick 's re fusal to accept the glasses of fascinating punch already offered him by pretty girls when he appears at receptions. A temperance society flourishes among congressmen and senators, but South wick, who has a good, firm month and square jaw, hus no expectation of join ing it to help earn that other $1,000. Congressman jSontbwick is an old Al bany newspaper muu and still in the business. He is uumarried and ranks with Snlzer and Rowland Blenuerhasset Mahany us eligibles in New York's del egation.

Y. , is a small iron safe of ancieut pattern, which, a card on the top says, was found in the gronnd aud contained some ancient doc uments consisting of maps and charts dated 1630. flow it came where it was fonnd is a mystery that no one seems able to explain.

Smith DM This by Working Hard and Cultivating Her Talent. Mrs. Dea Carr Smith, who has recent ly received an award for china decora tion at the Atlanta ' exposition, and whose exquisite work in the Arkansas exhibit hus attracted so much attention and universal admiration, has recently been brought to the attention of the public in a number of newspuper articles which have spokou of the originality and uuiqne beauty shown in the design of the space devoted to the women of Arkansus. Mrs. Smith was born in Rnshville, Iud. , and now hus charge of the art de partment of Galloway colloge, the lar gostaud highest grade school for girls in Arkansus. She has spent years in prupa- 3 ration for her work, studying under the best American artists, under Eenyon Cox in New York; made a special study of foliage nnder Carl Weber in Phila delphia and did work in life under Sat terle, who on seeing one of her sketches gave her a scholarship. All this has given her a broad foundation for her work in china, in which she has re ceived instruction from those able ce ramic artists, Punch and Aulich of Cin cinnati. To this wide cultivation and geat tal ent have been added ten years of experi ence, making Mrs. Smith a most success ful teacher, whose work is much sought after. She had a studio in Seattle sev eral years, aud while there spent her summers in Alaska and California, making many beautiful sketches along the Pacific coast. Since she has been in Galloway college her success has been phenomenal. She insists thut all work be thorough and takes nature as ber model. During ber three years' residence in Arkansas she has done much to create and develop a genuine appreciation of art in its truest sense in the state. At lanta Constitntion. What Shopping In Paris Teaches. A correspondent writes: "Shopping in Paris teaches ns many things, and among others the new uses to which are put familiar substances. A fashionable trimming for ladies' black capes is now a gelatin lozenge. The 'sequin,' as it is called, is a thin, small pastel, dyed black and having tho effect of jet. Each sequin is sewed on separately, and with each garment the purchaser does well to buy a box of the ornaments, as they are liable to drop off. Fortunately for the wearer of gelatin trimming, rain, at least iu our hemisphere, does not de scend warm J otherwise the decorative art of a mantle would dissolve in u shower. In cold water the new substi tute for jet loses neither substance nor color. Cheapness and lightness are the advantages of this edible haberdashery. " Loudon News. The Fashionable Magpie Contrast. The magpie contrast, which is the name given to the effect when black and white ure brought together, is well dis played in a bouuet intended for evening wear at concert or opera during the sea sou. The small, rather low crown is of white satin felt, the tiny strips being braided in basket fashion. The narrow brim is of softly twisted black velvet cut out at the back so that the hair shows below, while there are falling over it two of the long, hornlike shaped rosettes so much fancied, daintily made of fine duchess luce. A narrow twist of white satin is just above the velvet at the edge of the crown, and on one side there stands up a 10 inch white pom pon, while on the other is a star shaped buckle of rhinestones. Velvet ties come with this bonnet. Ladies' Home Jour nal. Not Mew at All. It would appear from the recent writ ing of a well informed woman on wom en 's clubs that the new woman is not new ut all, but decidedly old, dating back to 400 years before the Christian era, when famous Grecian women held original opinions concerning the sun and moon and made studies on the whole solar system. From that time to this the writer mentions the numerons women who have forced the world to acknowl edge their superiority, so it would seem thut "new woman" is a misnomer. The English Woman. Charles Dudley Warner lectured be fore the students of Trinity college, Hartford, the other evening on "Eng land as It Is." He spoke in terms of admiration of the present type of Eng lish woman, not the new woman, he said, but the Euglish woman of society. She is robust and graceful. Her carriage is irreproachable. In former days she hud been accused of being poorly dressed. Now, however, it is not true. She dresses in perfect taste. Makes a Beautiful Ilonse Plant. People who enjoy a bit cf green in the house when fields and flower gardens ate wrapped in the desolation of winter will find that a sweet potato, planted in moist loose earth or a jar of water, with the seed end projecting upward, will make a beautiful growth of vine in a very short time. It resembles the Eng-h.-u ivy and rivals the g'oesy leaves of the WanUericg Jew for ht us decora tion.

It Penetrates Many Solids, Anions; Them Aluminium Great progress has already been made with Professor Rontgeu's wonderful dis covery of a new light, if thut be a jiroper description of it, which I cublotl a few duys ago. Profesor Klupathy of the Pesth university has obtained even greater success in photographing con cealed objects. He also varied the ex periments by inclosing objects to be photographed in a variety of coverings. It has been ascertained thut the light from Crooke's tube penetrates not only organic matter, but also one metal, aluminium. Professor Rontgen has sent rays of the new chemical light through aluminium plates an inch thick, and they went as clean through as if the sub stance bad been glass. The same was the case with two sets of books, includ ing many volumes. These he placed be tween a Crooke's tube and an ordinary compass. Behind them was a wooden case with dry plate, and the result was as complete a photograph of the compass as is possible. It is perhaps no photograph in the or dinary sense, because no lenses are used. It is not a negative, bnt a positive plate that is obtained. London Cable New York San.
