mchestoi aU vernment - Li Nxpsso Punished For Their Wickedness. The St. Andrew's fishermen are sup posed, so doubt erroneously, to be less venturous than others. A year or two ago they retrieved their fame by very gallant conduct in en nnseaworthy life boat However, their marine neighbors toll this tale : Many years ago there was a violent storm on a 2 2d of November. A wreck oame in ; the fishers boarded it, fonnd some sailors still alive and "made slic ker" by drowning tbem. Then they seized the cargo and fell in lack. The anniversary, Nov. 22, was a bright, still, halcyon day, and the blue bay was covered with brown sails. Not one came home to the rooky chink which does duty as a harbor. A fierce storm arose, and the fishing fleet perished. Conse quently a new and more or less high land colony, mainly of Gbisholmes, came in, and never were such good men as the lost sailors of Fife. For long the un holy day of November was a holiday, nobody daring to go forth to sea. Such is the legend, which may have no historical basis. In any case Fife fishers and the east coast men generally are considered to be better in a boat than the west highlanders, and Fife en terprise and capital might have left us a more prosperous isle of Lewes Lon don News. Why it Is desirable that women be elected on the board of overseers of the poor in the towns of Massachusetts needs no argument. That is the kind of work in which good women are naturally in terested and active, and their special fit ness for such service does not admit of challenge. It will be for the public good in any community to put at least one competent woman on all such boards. Springfield (Mass. ) Republican.

A poorly dressed woman with a boy about 9 years old boarded one of the Union Trolley company's cars in White Plains avenue recently. There was no vacant seat, and ehe grabbed a strap in front of a young man and prepared to hang on. The young man got up and tipped his hat to her. Quick as a flash the boy dropped her hand and leaped in to the seat oj his knees, taking earn to wipe his muddy feet on the clothing of the passengers on either side. The young man looked first at the woman, for whom he intended the seat, and then at the boy. The woman shook her head and said : "Poor boy! I guess he's tired. He can nave it, sir." The young man looked from one to the other again. He shifted about un easily for a moment. The other passen gers in the car giggled. That decided him. Holding to a strap with one hand, he reached for the boy with the other and got him by the nape of the neck. He lifted him clear of the seat and held him dangling and kicking in the air. The woman was about to protest. Then she thought better of it and sat down in the vacant seat. "Madam," said the young man, throwing the boy at her, "here is your boy." "Thank yon, sir," she said. "He is a bit headstrong, it's true, sir. " The boy looked astonished. He whim pered a little. The woman patted him on the head, and there wasn't a peep heard from him from that time until the Harlem bridge was reached and the crowd got out. New York Sun.

It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid neys, Liver and Bowels without weak ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

Hitchcock Wilmot. She Anglo-Saxon suffixes "kin" and "cook" were used as diminutive or en dearing forms of personal names, just as the Normans used the suffixes "et," "ot," "en" and "on. " Thus from Hitch, itself a diminutive of Richard, we get the surnames Hitchkin, Hitchcock, Hitchens and Hitchison. Any common baptismal name affords a number of such variants, which became fixed as patronymics or surnames. There are, for example, at least 15 different forms of William available for that purpose. English forms: William, giving Wil liams, Williamson, MacWilliam, Fitz william ; Will, giving Wills, Wilson ; Bill, giving Bilson; Willy, giving Wil lison. Anglo-Saxon forms: Wilkin, giving Wilkie, Wilkins, Wilkinson; Gilkin, giving Gilkinson ; Wilcock, giving Wil cox.

I know what I'm say ing. I've had the experience with two the young and the old man. My first experience was with a young man, who didn't know his mind and asked me what he had better do, and I, like a fa ther, told him he'd better not marry the girl he was courting. He went right off and married her. An old man from the country came into the car where I was reading my morning paper and sat down at my side. "Beg your pardon, sir," he said. "Did yon ever court a grass widder?" "Oh, yes," I said. "I've courted a dozen or more. Why?" "Did you ever marry one?" "Yes." "Waller, p'r'aps you kin give a chap a point or two?" "Oh, certainly, all the points you want." "Are they any different from other women?" "Say, old fellow, I've courted all sorts of Women, both married and un married, and they are all just alike. They do all the courting and generally propose before you have courted them a week." "Waller, what's your opin'n?" "It is this the man who marries one is a jackass." The old fellow scratched his head for a moment, and after he had got his idea racked in the right spot he said: "Wal ler, hain't I as much constitutionally right to be a jackass as yon have? Wal ler, I guess, and I m gom 'cept her pro posal by wire. Write it out for me, won't you?"

T0 BEAT ALL RECORDS PREPARATIONS FOR NEW YORK'S GREAT FRENCH BALL. Some New Parisian Dances One Hundred and Fifty Pretty Girls Secured and Are Now Drilling For m Ballet Modeled After the Celebrated "Fetes de Notts.' The great New York French ball of 1896 is expected to eclipse any in the history of the charitable society which for so many years has presided over these lively entertainments. It will be a masquerade upon a grand scale, bril liantly conducted amid gorgeous and picturesque surroundings, with every inducement held forth for novel and at tractive costumes. The French ball is the one bright spot in the somber winter of New York for many men about town and clubmen, who look forward-to it for many months and backward to it for many more. It is an institution identified with New York winters. Nowhere else in America does there occur an entertainment at once so unique, so lively and so representative of all that is gay and cosmopolitan. The French ball attracts many visitors to the city, men of middle age who soberly uphold the social fabric in some rich interior city, or college students from nearby universities who think to make it the scene of riotous rejoicings, only to be suppressed by the police there to maintain order. The French ball, although ostensibly beginning early in the evening, never . . . i . & . -. i i gets wen unuer way ueiurtj miauigur.. Then there is a steady inpour of men in evening dress coming from all the thea ters, while carriage after carriage drives up to the entrance to unload the hand somest women in New York, all muffled up, but with glimpses showing here and there of the brilliant costumes they wear. From the dressing rooms on either aide these people emerge again upon the main floor of the Madison Square Gar den, all brilliantly lighted, where two bands will be in attendance this year, and the atmosphere will be heavy with fragrance. Among the preparations now going on is an elaborate scheme of floral dec orations. Flowers in profusion are to decorate the interior of the building. Streamers of roses will hang from the roof. The edges of the boxes will bear floral decorations, and emblems and de signs will appear in various conspicuous parts of the building, symbolizing gay- ety, love, music, eta Order is to be maintained throughout the evening, but spontaneous gayety, which is likely to break out in the wine room through the opening of cold bot tles and the effervescing of lively spir its, will not be interfered with. The wineroom is one of the sights of a French ball, and it generally wit nesses a larger consumption of chanr pagne than takes place any other even ing of the year. The profits from this source are of course very large, but, like all the other profits of the French ball, they go to maintaining an admirable charity whioh has this one entertain ment as its main source of sustenance. The preparations for the ball are now well under way, and costumes that will appear are in process of manufacture either here or in Europe. The ball this year, in general terms, is to be modeled after the celebrated "Fetes de Nmts" that attract so many visitors to the Jar din de Paris, the Moulin Rouge and the Bal Bullier, in Paris. In addition to this entire change from the programmes of French balls of pre vious winters in New York is a depar ture in the way of dancers. The services of theatrical managers have been called in to give to the entertainment a certain direction without sacrificing any of the spontaneity that is its essential charao teristia The town has been scoured for the prettiest girls that could be secured. One hundred and fifty of these have been retained by the Cerole Francais de l'Harmonie, and they are being now drilled in fancy dances and skillfully devised marches. Individual French dancers of Boule vard repute are likewise coming from Paris. Yon will not know as you mix among the crowd of dancers on Madison Square Garden floor whether the nun, the fairy or the duchess to whom you speak be a professional dancer or a look er on. The pantaloon, the policeman or the courtier who saunters across the floor may have just arrived from the Moulin Bouge or he may be some well known New York clubman appearing here in this disguise. - These dancers may not even know each other. They will dance in an effer vescent and unconnected way as it suits tho fancy of each, but it is said that their dancing will be so artistic that they will instantly gather together little groups of admirers. A new feature, never before intro duced at a French ball in New York, is the gathering together of all the mas queraders at a certain hour of the even ing for the purpose of passing judgment upon their costumes. This will make a grand march which for picturesqueness and brilliancy it would be hard to equal. The lady having the handsomest, the most appropriate or the most striking costume is to be awarded by the judges who will review this parade a diamond crescent now on exhibition in a jewel er's window. New York World. .. The Schoolboy and the Inspector. In an Edinburgh school the other day an inspector, wishing to test the knowl edge of a olass in fractions, asked one boy whether he would rather take a sixth or a seventh part of an orange rf be got his choice. The boy promptly re plied that he would take the seventh. At this the inspector explained at length to the class that the boy who would choose the smaller part as this boy had done because it looked the larger frac tion was very foolish, but the laugh was on the other side when the chirping voice of another urchin broke in in re monstrance, "Please, sir, but that boy disna like oranges. "Westminster Gazette. What She Was Meant For. A lady of great beauty and attractive ness, who was an ardent admirer of Ire land, once crowned her praise of it at a party by saying: 'I think I was meant for an Irish woman." "Madam," rejoined a witty son of Erin, who happened to be present, thousands would back me in saying that yon were meant for an Irish man. " Strand Magazine. Bits of Bloom. No good housekeeper ever serves "warmed over" coffee. If you don't like to waste it, pour it around your plants in pots. It fertilizes the soil and stimulates growth. For rooms which are in constant fam ily use, quieter darker colors may be desired. A preconceived plan should be followed and will yield equally good results. Let nothing mar the room in the way of discordant colors, foreign to the original intention. Sev eral safe principles are given which may be regarded with confidence; the walls should be lighter than the floor and- darker than the ceiling; in other words, the floor covering must be dark er than the walls, and an effect of grad ual lightening be seen from floor to ceiling; the fringe or border at the top of the walls, however, which repre sents strong timbers, upon which rests the ceiling or upper floor, must be in tones deeper than the side walls, to enable it to take on an appearance of strength. Mrs. Pender-Cudlip, the English nov elist, says she always grows small sal ads on the dining-table. "Any dishes or plates answer the purpose, but for preference I grow them In old, quaint shaped delft and china dishes, and this makes them exceptionally ornamental. The mode of growing them is simplicity itself. Lay a piece of white flannel or flannelette cut to the shape at the bot tom of the dish or plate; wet it well, and sow on it rather thickly, water cress, mustard, .or curled cress seed. The water cress takes rather longer to spring-, but mustard and cress is fit to cut in a week. Besides being pretty and convenient, this is a very clean way of growing these small salads. It entirely disposes of the gritty difficulty we labor under when they are grown In earth. The supply even of water cress can be kept up with a little man agement all the year round. Always water freely." Womankind. A F among French Duelist. The late Marquis de l'Angle-Beauma- noir was in his younger days famous as a duelist One evening, meeting his cousin, the Marquis du Hallays, in the foyer of the Opera, he walked up to him and, in the course of conversation, re marked : ' "Isn't it odd, my dear fellow, that, quarrelsome as you and I are, we should never have fought with one another?" "That's true," replied Du Hallays, "but that can always be remedied." And on the strength of that, the two cousins met in mortal combat on the following morning, the encounter re sulting in the Marquis de l'Angle-Beau-manoir having his ,right band pierced by his adversary's rapier, which, while it rendered a continuance of the fight im possible, left the other hand free to grasp that of his oousin in undiminished friendship a moment afterward. On an other occasion, when he was about to fight a duel in which he was entirely in the right and bis adversary in the wrong, he suddenly discqyered that his opponent was a perfect novice in swordsmanship, and that he woud, therefore, have him completely at his mercy. So he strode up to him and, in the presence of 20 or 80 persons, presented the most courteous and full apology. Almost dumfounded, the latter inquired why the marquis assumed such an extraordinary course. "Because, " he returned, "it would real ly be too unfortunate if I were to fight with a mazette (greenhorn). " And with that he made a low bow and then turned his back upon him. San Francisco Argonaut. BBAUTIFCL THOUGH PAINFUL,. We sing "Come, Gentle Spring," and are often very sorry that we did anything of the kind, lor Spring, though beautiful, is sometimes very painful. The very luxury we enjoy in the return of the balmy air is the latent source of a great many pains and aches. It is beoause the nerves are re laxed in this way that they become weak and an easy prey to sudden attacks of neu ralgia; a tonio ot cold healthful air braces tnem up ana makes tnem strong against any suck attack, but the sudden change to warmth makes them liable to be preyed upon by this disease. For this simple reason the great nerve disorder has many victims at this time, but we have in St. Jacobs Oil something that restores ths tone, vigor and Btrength of the nerves to what they had been. - The prompt use of it in these neuralgic attacks ot spring time is sure to be followed by a perfect cure.

Sample Owes Her Strength to This the Best of All Remedies. For the unfortunates who lie awake, staring at the ceiling and counting the strokes of the clock, every sleepless night is an eternity. Mrs. J. A. Sam ple of 1558 Broadway, New York city, was afflicted with insomnia until her nerves were on the verge of pros tration. She thinks her condition was due to indigestion. Here is what Mrs. Sample says: "I have used Paine's celery com pound with marked and decided bene fit It is especially useful in insomnia, arising from indigestion and poorly nourished nerves. "I should add that my grand-daughter, Vera Hafleigh, was so thin and puny at the age of ten as to cause the greatest anxiety. We had no difficulty in inducing her to take Paine's celery compound. Today the roses bloom in her cheeks, and I never saw a healthier, stronger child than Paine's celery compound has made her." The brain is the center of the nerv ous system. " Sleep alone rests this vital organ, together with the nerves. Dur ing the waking hours the nervous sys tem works inoessantly. Poor sleep means a poor nervous condition, and prolonged insomnia leads in every case to prostration, and too often to dread insanity. The mischief that results from weakened nerves is much greater and more destructive than most folks even dream of. The all-important thing for nervous, run-down persons, and for those who are losing sleep is that Paine's celery compound builds up the whole physi cal system, and by improving the di gestion and regulating the nerves it in sures sound, refreshing sleep. In win ter most women and many men lead hothouse lives. A flagging appetite, a disposition to pick at this dish and that, rather than to eat a square meal, is among the early indications of fail ing health. Then comes delay in fall ing asleep and the fretful, uneasy feel ing the next day. Deliverance from such a miserable condition by the use of Paine's celery compound has caused men and women from every section of the United States to write sincere, hearty words of praise and thankfulness for this grand invig oratpr. People enjoying perfect health sometimes wonder at this gratitude; but whoever has suffered from prostra tion of the nerves, of which insomnia is one of the symptoms, will under stand how hard it is to overstate the torment of this condition. And who ever has been made completely well by Paine's celery compound feels that no words can overstate the joy and grati tude such persons feel. This is the state of mind of thou sands of nervous, sickly broken-down persons who have used Paine's celery oompound and been made well. Mrs. Sample tells of the happy result in the case of her grandchild. One of the most conssiouons instances of the remarkable power of Paine's celery compound over debility is shown in ths relief it has afforded ' children. Of course the dose is adapted to the age of the little patient. The compound pur ifies the blood and corrects any tend ency to constipation. Pale, puny children are made vigorous, rosy and healthy by this incomparable remedy. Miss Smathtim I don't care tor men: in fact. I've already said "no" to teven of them.

Old English Music Long before the stream of Norman minstrel art sacred music was exercis ing a beneficial influence. The early British church possessed sacred music, but this was gradually driven out before the onward march of . that new church music which Augustine brought with him from Rome (A. D. 697). The Gre gorian music (evolved by Pope Gregory out of the Greek tetrachords and some existing Ambroeian chants) was heard and loved wherever Augustine and his monks built a church. By its means a deep impression was left upon the minds of those who heard and joined in it, but it is curious that we miss altogether the ecclesiastical flavor in the earliest ex amples that have come down to ns of English musio during the first quarter of the thirteenth century. The free and nncontroled secular mu sio was the first to reflect itself in per manent manuscript form. Church musio per se was not progressive ; the church tones for the "service" and "mass" mu sio were fixed, and only a heretical of fense was the outcome of tampering therewith, but no such restrictions ham pered secular music.
