FENCING Is T THE FAD. New York Women Going In for It in Earnest. Prepare! Salute! On guard! De- fend! Clash! Clash! These are sounds that may be heard in many New York homes nowadays, says the New York Herald. Fencing at home has become a fad, and rooms especially devoted to exercise with the foil are found in the residences of all the young women who have bowed fealty to Dame Fashion. There are few exercises which more thoroughly develop the muscles of the body than fencing. In Germany, where the women fence as much as they ride bicyéles over here, feminine strength and health and grace are generally en- joyed, although with us they are not to be found as often as is desired. This is an era of the practical in society and it is likely in this fact will be found the reason for the general spread of this new fad. Instead of arraying herself in fine clothes and undergoing for two hours a sort of social martyr- dom under the guise of an afternoon tea the girl of the period receives a half dozen of her friends in her fenc- iug room and there many a pleasant half hour is spent in discussing and demonstrating the latest forms of fdnce, guard, parry and attack. One hgs to see the society woman handle tHe foil to appreciate the change which a few months’ or even a few weeks’ work in fencing can accomplish. THe costumes worn by ladies when feacing are much more attractive than thq ordinary bicycle suits now so com- mon upon the streets, and there is rattically no limit to the fanciful de- tic which can be indulged in in the Jitting up of these private fencing na: Many of them are fitted up in yle of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Some of the enthusiasts are not content with a simple fencing room, but have in addition a small room adjoi g fitted h everything ter the ve work tess and essential to feminine comfort alf hou Here the exertion of a with the foil her fencing ends may chat among themselves to their hearts’ content without the presence of men, who must be talked to and kept in good humor. Men are not ed there. Fencing cles of steel into the dain- slender of wrists and whit- rains the eye and gives a phy y far beyond what cne would imagine until seen in actual tice. Whatever may be said of fads general, the present one has the ef- fect of giving healthful amusement to a class of women who otherwise would never take needed exercise. The fa- vorite system of fencing now practiced by the society woman if of the French which, as is well known, was founded on the old sword play of Spain, which was introduced into France and la by Spanish bourbons. While ‘the Italian masters have kept the long foil, with its bell- , the direct descendant of h rapier, the French have e weapon and the fenc- ing foil of to-day is the result. school, The Color of Wild Animals. remarkable fact that many d wild animals are white on ler parts of their bodies, and Mr. 1 Ameri naturalist, seems ve found the reason for the pecu- He has ilv is views by esting exy Taking e potatoes, he paints one-half sich of them a grass green color. of ¢€ The halyes of the other two are painted white, but the third potato is left un- painted on one half, or else is painted all green. He then places the three potatoes on the grass in a row, their green sides uppermost. On retiring to a certain distance, the two potatoes which are white underneath become in- visible, whereas the potato which is all green or else unpainted on its lower part is easily seen. His explanation of the mystery is that the white colora- tion relieves the deep shadow cast by the upper part of the potato. Hence he believes that white on the under side of animals is a protective ordinance, to keep them from being discerned at a distance by their shadows. The color- ation of their upper parts is usually in harmony with the background of their habitat, and easily confounded with it by an eye at a distance, but their black shadow would betray them were it not relieved by the white of their under- sides. The ptarmigan is all white in winter to match the snow, and, there- ®ore, it cannot have a lighter coloration on its under ‘parts, but the reflection from the snow relieves the depth of its shadow. Quietly Wedded Years Ago. A marriage that has been kept se- eret for the last sixteen years has just been made public in Mount Holly. Nearly a score of years ago Frank Rice went west, and his first return to this city was about ten days ago. He went to the residence of Miss Lizzie Frake, a dressmaker living on Pearl street, and they started for Bridgeport, Pa., ostensibly to get married. Upon returning, however, they agreed to divulge their well kept secret, and the announcement of their marriage years ago was made to friends. Mr. Rice now resides at Cripple Creek, Col.— philadelphia Press. Drew Plenty of Blanks. Nurs. A.—Did your husband have any luck in that lottery scheme he went jn for? Mrs. B.—I’m afraid not, judg- ing by what he said when the results were announced. “What was that?” #plarkety-blank, blank-blank-blank.” —New York World. Warned Out. Brown—Oh, for a lodge in some v. wilderness. Jones—What’s the matter; can’t you pay your rent where you ars now ?—New York Tribune. AN HONEST MAN. District Attorney Backus Tells a THu- morous Story at His Own Expense. This is one on District Attorney Backus of Kings county. He himself tells it and it was brought out curi- ously a day or two ago, says the New York Herald. “Mr. Backus in?” a visitor to the district attorney’s office asked. “Yes,” an attendant said. “You've just time to catch him before he goes away for the day.” The visitor entered, passed Mr. Back- us’ desk—and Mr. Backus at it—and followed the attendant into an inner room. He was informed that he had passed Mr, Backus and returned, to find that gentleman smiling to dis- cover that all the world did not know him at sight. “This is a case of arguing myself un- known,” the visitor said, apologetical- ly. “Tt reminds me of a story,” said Mr. Backus. “I went to Poughkeepsie once with another lawyer and a de- tective in plain clothes, who was es- corting a prisoner who was to be re- sentenced there. The prisoner was shackled to the detective. in the seat, ahead of that occupied by the other lawyer and mysel. The train stopped fifteen minutes at Poughkeep- sie for lunch, and in order not to ex- pose the manacled prisoner to a curi- ous crowd I suggested that we sit in the car for a few minutes after the train was stopped, allow the passen- gers to alight and go to the lunch room and then go quietly to a carriage which awaited us. The others agreed and we still. A nervous passenger who had ridden in the same car with us from New York and who did not know that one of us was a condemned criminal, wished to get out for lunch and thought it advisable to ask some one to keep an eye on his hand baggage in his absence, He hesitated until he saw only four of us left. Then he ap- proached and looked keenly at each of us in turn, After a close scrutiny of our countenances he leaned over, tapped the prisoner on the shoulder and said: ‘Will you be good enough, sir, to keep an eye on my baggage while I get a bite to eat?” HAPPY REUNION. A Touching Scene and Story in Paris, France. A most touching scene was witnessed in the streets of Paris recently, says an exchange. A little girl about 5 years of age was rolling her hoop; the hoop rolled up against a gentleman sitting on a bench and the child, going up to him to get it, looked at him involuntar- ily and suddenly cried out, “Oh, if there isn’t the gentleman of mamma’s minia- ture!” This exclamation, of course, at- tracted the attention of passers-by and of a young woman, who immediately came up to the child and, giving a glance at the gentleman, fainted away. He appeared stupefied and stared from the child to her mother as if he was losing his senses, but when he saw the latter fainting on the ground he caught her up, clasped her in his arms and covered her with kisses. She soon re- gained her senses and fell weeping on the gentleman’s bosom. An _ officer, coming up, led them off with the little girl afd, calling a carriage, put them in; but the bystanders had already learned their history from their differ- Five years before ed, with every prospect of happiness before them, but the hus- band, being young, was led astray by dissipated associates, and becoming jealous of his wife treated her so un- kindly that she finally left him and took a humble lodging in a different quarter of the city, where she soon after gave birth to a little daughter and since that time had supported herself and child by her needle. The husband had sought his wife in vain and had at last come to the sad conclusion that she had put an end to her existence. This thought had such an effect upon his mind as to cure him not only of his jealousy but of his vices, and he had since been living a most exemplary life, consecrating all his thoughts to the memory of his lost wife. Shoes\in Japan. One of the most striking sights that takes the attention of the traveler in Japan is that of the wooden sandals worn by the 35,000,000 of people. These sandals have a separate com- partment for the great toe and make a clanking noise on the street. Straw slippers are also worn, and a traveler starting out on a journey will strap a supply of them on his back, that he may put on a new pair when the old is worn out. They cost but a cent anda half a pair. They are rights and lefts and leave the foot free to the air. We never see those deformities of the foot in Japan which are so frequent in this country. They are never worn in the house but left outside the door. Pass- ing down a street you may see long rows of them at the doors, old and new, large and small.—Boston Journal. Suggestion. “We are glad to commend,” wrote the critic, “the playwright’s device for suggesting the lapse of a very long time between the first and second acts. At the end of the first act the heroine says: ‘I’ll be ready in a minute,’ and when the curtain rises on the second act she is ready. Nothing could be simpler or more effective.”—Detroit Journal. Practical. “How glorious it is to drink in thig delightful sunshine; to watch it gild the landscape and cast its mellow bless- ing on the waiting earth!” “Yes, George, but think of the freckles!”—Cleveland Plain Dealer, They sat~ CHINESE ‘SOLDIERS. Military Service Very Remunerative. to the Officers. A young man from my native town entered the army and, by dint of hard fighting and real merit, rose to the rank of brigadier general, but with him, at every promotion, rose his brother, whom I will call X., who had not met him for years, and who was peacefully | occupied as cook in a distant opium | den, says the Fortnightly Review. This is how it was done. The soldier, after each engagement in which he distin- guished himself, reported imaginary deeds of valor performed by his brother, and his word was taken. One day the cook in the opium den, who had never even seen a battle, read his name in the Gazette, and found, to his surprise, that he had attained the rank of colonel jn the imperial forces. Military service | is, in many ways, very remunerative to the officers. They enroll any men they like, and they always draw pay for many more men than are actually in the army. About 70 per cent of the full number of men nominally serving and for whom pay is drawn is the aver- age strength of the forces, even under Li Hung Chang’s comparatively honest officers, while elsewhere 100 men on pa- per usually means but forty or fifty in the flesh. On review days the officers engage a sufficient number of soldiers by the day to make the army look all right. But there are other sources of profit besides dealing in dummy sol- diers. The live ones have to wear uni- forms and to eat, and both food and clothes are supplied at extortionate prices by the officers, so that of the five tael per month paid by the government for each soldier about one-fifth or less reaches the pockets of the men. All this refers to the “braves” who are only engaged during war time and are dis- banded the moment the fighting is ever wherever they may happen to be, and nearly Always without the means of re- turning to their homes, thus keeping up the supply of armed robbers all over the empire. As to the soldiers of the standing army in times of peace, they are, with the exception of the Manchu garrison, so wretchedly paid that its strength exists only on paper. The men enlist and regularly draw their pay— three shillings per month—and have searcely any further connection with the military service. on bribes. The Manchu force under the Tartar general, on the other hand, is well paid; but these soldiers do no fighting; they are only engaged guarding the city against Chinese reb- els. They live in a separate quarter from that occupied by the Chinese, on whom they often make unprovoked at- tacks. Thus fights between the Chinese and the Tartar soldiers are of common occurrence, and as these Tartar soldiers are not under the jurisdiction of the civil law their! outrages invariably go unpunished. Naturally there is no love lost between the city guards and the na- tive Chinese. POOR YOUNG MEN. How Mammas of Eligible Daughters Should Regard Them. “My daughter shall never marry a poor man,” declared a determined-look- ing little lady, according to the New York Tribune. “How do you propose to manage matters so that she will not?” queried her friend. ‘Oh, I have taken care, in the first place, that every man that is an habitue of our house is eligible,” answered the up-to-date mother, “and, secondly, she has been too well brought up to fall in love with any one who cannot give her the cakes and ale of existence.” But la mere pro- pose et la fille dispose. The irony of fate generally upsets the most careful- ly arranged plans. Besides, it is gen- erally the case that those who marry for money, or at least with the expec- tation of possessing that desirable ar- ticle, are apt, in this country, to be sadly disappointed. It is very seldom in this land of ups and downs, that riches remain long in one family, and young people with great expectations generally find when they are middle- aged that they have neither the sub- stance nor even the shadow remaining, their only inheritance being expensive tastes and a disinclination or want of will power to work. It would be far better if calculating mammas would consult the statistics in this respect and would realize what is really true, that a poor young man who has chosen his career, and who is industrious, has a far greater chance for future pros- perity than the idle rich, the butterflies of the day, the majority of whom will end their days in comparative poverty. Raising Peppermint in Michigan. Work was begun in the latter part of April in the fields of southwestern Michigan, where a large acreage has been planted of late years with pepper- mint. The English, or black, mint has been the chief crop for several years, but better prices are to be offered for the American plant, and that is to be the leader this year. Greater areas also are to be planted this year than heretofore. New Weather Prophets. A new point in weather wisdom comes from Rhode Island. An ob- server says the rabbits are barking the trees some distance above the ground with their hind legs, and that this means a coming deep fall of snow, dur- ing which the rabbits will need the bearing to return to their hiding places. Man’s Longest Night. During Dr. Nansen’s Arctic journey his ship, the Fram, remained for five and a half months, from October 8, 1895, until March 24, 1896, out of sight of the sun. “This,” Dr. H. R. Mill, the English geographer, remarks, “was the longest and darkest night ever experi- enced by man.” The few that go; on duty in the city gates live entirely | in, First publication June 3, ba publication July 8, Notice for Publication.
