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

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.

Surprising- Experience In a Car of as Boy
Who Was Headstrong.
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.

LOVE AS CONSIDERED NOWADAYS.
Two Men Asked Advice About It and Then
Rejected Its.
There is no use of opposing a love af
fair, not even when the actors play into
your own hands. 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

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

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. "

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

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.

tone, vigor and Btrength of the nerves to
what they had been. - The prompt use of
it in these neuralgic attacks ot spring time

Paine's Celery Compound..
EVIrs. 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.

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. Blackwood's
