Tur Freneh are living up to their rep-
utation of being the most mercurial peo-
ple on earth.
IT begins to look as though Uncle 8am
might have to choose between making
love to Miss Canada and thrashing her.
CaampioN Jim CORBETT is demonstrat-
ing anew the difficulty a man has in be-
in a gentleman and a prize-fighter at one
and the same time.
THERE is one kind of speculation in
which the pauper and the millionaire are
on the same footling—guessing at Mr.
Cleveland's cabinet.
Ar last some use has been found for
the cheap watches that never keep time.
A jealous lover used one of them to frac-
ture his sweetheart’s skull.
ONE detective has found out something;
he was an Irishman and he kicked a dy-
namite bomb. A big funeral was given
the portions of him that were furnd,
BRIBERY is as much at home in Ger-
many as in France, in the United
States. Human nature is the same every-
where, and it is very full of weak spots.
Taosk [daho dinmond fields muy be all
right, but what has been made public
about them carries earmarks that are sus-
piciously like our old friend, the veal es
tate boom.
or
THE articles in the newspapers about
the ‘chosen seven” do not refer to Mr.
Cleveland’s cabinet, but to an eccentric
religious sect which has been started in
Michigan.
THE man who spends all of his time
bemoaning the departure of the ‘‘good
old times” and failing to appreciate the
good of the present time, cannot be called
a wise man.
IF more parents would remember that
a good cook adds more happiness to a
home than a poor musician, there would
be a large falling-off in the business of
. THE egg-throwing fever broke out
among the students of the Washington
State Agricultural College, the other day,
None of them died, but some of them
had a smashing time.
A TERRIBLE warning to those who use
alcohol externally was given by a New
York man, the other day. While yub-
bing himself with alcohol he caught fire
and was awfully burned.
“Waisky is very tight” says the head-
ing of an article in an exchange, on the
corner in whisky. Well, even a worm
will semetimes turn; whisky has long
been making men “‘tight.”
Carr. F. C. Crucarn, U. 8. A., com-
mandant at Fort Schuyler, N. Y., is
charged with having driven his soldiers
to death. Humph! isn’t that one of the
things for which a private soldier enlists?
THERE is too much snobbery in this
country. Why should detectives watch
over the President-elect? This is not
Russia, and Russian methods should not
be countenanced by people of common
sense,
Prize FreaTerR MURPHY is not the
Murphy whom Senator Hill would like to
see as the next Senator from New York,
Hill's Murphy is a wealthy genileman
who made “his money purveying liquid
refreshments of the intoxicating kind.
SexaTor Vest says Indian Commis-
sioner Morgan is 8a ‘narrow-minded big:
ot,” and Commissioner Morgan savs that
Vest’s ideas are ‘‘ignorant, superficial,
impudent, pretentious, and ajtoge ‘her val-
ueless.” Can it be possible that they are
both right?
THE delapidated condition of Abraham
Lincoln’s monument is a disgrace to the
state of Illinois and to this great nation.
The resting place of the great immortal
Lincoln should be honored by a monu-
ment in comparison to which the monu-
ment of Washington would be utterly
insignificant. Kind-bearted, plain and
lowly Lincoln was as high above proud
and aristocratic: Washington as heaven is
above earth.
IN Buffalo a woman runs a street clean-
ing bureau; in Kansas Citv a woman is in
the fire department; at Vassar a woman
combs hair at twenty-five cents per head;
a Louisville lady makes special shopping
trips to Paris, another in New Hampshire
is president of a street railway company,
while Chicago has a woman embalmer.
And still they go on, taking up lines of
business which a quarter of a century ago
were labeled “hands off” by the sterner
sex.—New York Telegram.
My advice to the girls and women with
respect been identified has always been to
keep out of debt, to dress plainly 10 be
careful in their behavior toward men, and
as careful in their behavior toward wom:
en; to be respectful to their employers
and to be truthful; [ have not serupled
to say to them that in my experience the
most refined women have been those
whose tastes in matters of dress have
been most quiet and plain, and that the
working girl should avove all things
avoid extravagance in dress. I have
found that girls and women are apt to
run into debt for clothes, and whenever
such cases have come to my knowledge |
have proffered my assistance toward re-
storing their credit npon the express stip-
ulation that they should never again put
a chain of that sort about their necks. —
George W. Childs in Ladies’ Home Jour-
nal.
Tae closer the oils vote east in the
recent Presidential election is analyzed
the smaller the Democratic victory ap-
pears. The attempt to make a landslide
14 ont of it was-abandoned as soon as it be-
came evident that the Cleveland electors
received only 29,000 votes more than
were cast for the Cleveland electors of
1888, and that they are in a minority of
nearly 1,000,000 on the popular vote. In
the Northern States the Republican plu-
rality reaches several hundred thousand,
and what plurality Cleveland has was
gained wholly in the solid South. Itis
only necessary to point to Mississippi
where there are at least 100,000 Republi-
can votes and only 1000 were east, to
Florida where there are 20,000 Republi-
can votes and note were cast, and to Ala-
bama where there are over 100,000 Re-
publican votes and only 9000 were cast,
to show just how valuable Mr. Cleve-
land’s alleged plurality is. The farther
the Democrats get away from the olec-
tion the less satisfied they will be with it.

GovERNOR FLOWER, of New York, has
kept his word and reappointed Isaac H.
Maynard to the vacancy on the bench of
.| the Court of Appeais. the highest Court
in the state of New York. He has taken
this step in defiance of public opinion and
of the expressed disapproval of the Bar
Association of New York City. No more
scandalous act was ever performed by a
state Executive. Governor Flower knows
that this Maynard is a thief, that be com-
mitted an acknowledged crime, and yet,
hecause this crime was done to aid the
Democratic party, the bench of the high-
est court in New York is to be bhefouled
with the presence of the criminal. Such
an act as placing a scoundrel on a judi-
cial bench »ught, it wonld seem, to con-
demn any Governor and any party in
public estimation, bunt as the same facts
were below the people last year, and they
indorsed the Democracy at the elections,
the Democratic leaders evidently believe
they can do as they choose. ‘There ap-
pears to be nothing to prevent them just
now.—Philadelphia Press.
PT TE
IN these days when reverses in fortune
are happenings of so frequent occurrence,
the daughters of even very well-to-do
parents should be taught the necessity of
at least knowing one thing well. The
girl who graduates from the fashionable
school and regards her education finished
knows—what? A smattering of music,
a little French, not enough, however, to
sustain a verv lengthy conversation with
areal Frenchman; she may be able to
paint a banch of pansies or a cross-eyed
kitten; she may know how to warble
forth two or three songs that she has
been coached in for vears, or she could
perhaps solve a problem in geometry or
algebra if it were not teo difficult.
Of course all this is quite sufficient if
she never is ealled upon to be more than
a social butterfly, but suppose the time
comes when she must do something to
help support the family. Which branch
of all the studies she has ‘‘finished” does
she know completely enough te now turn
to good service? The bitter answer would
be, not one, and she would be obliged to
accept some position that paid but a pit-
tance simply because when she had the
opportunity she had not learned
thing thoroughly.
Girls, let it be your aim to master at
least one subject: If you bave a taste
for musie, study it so that your proficiency
can be turned to profit; if it be cooking,
painting. sewing, any language or science,
do not dip into it ‘today and out of it to-
morrow. Perfect yourself in something,
and then when necessity calls upon vou
to turn your talent to account vou will
have something on which you can rely.
