French Girt Excels American in This Matter. = “Inherent grace is ‘no greater in French girls than in American girls,” said Mme. Baker at tie national con- vention of dressmakers. “But in the dainty art of carrying their skirts in their hands while taking the air of the boulevards, French girls are in- comparably superior to their Ameri- can cousins. The secret is that the French maid’s petticoat is made to clear the ground, while the Ameri- can’s drop skirt is as long as the outer garment. The American must lift both skirts to prevent their trail- ing in the dirt of the streets. She grasps a great bundle of unwieldy cloth, so heavy and clumsy that almost invariably she pulls it around in a way that plays havoc with the ectiveness of uer gown. The h demoiselle has only the outer t to care for, and she has no need of muscle to lift with fairy grace the fabric.—Chicago Record-Herald. INDIANS SELL THEIR LANDS. Many of the Tribes Are Rapidly Dis- posing of Their Possessions. Those Indians who are allowed le- to sell their lands are rapidly so. Lust year-members of the awatomie, Shawnee, Peoria, Mia- i, Wyandotte and Chippewa tribes ye made 305 conveyances, aggregat- 30,000 acres, for $204,000. he Fort Berthold Indians have 1 208,000 acres for $260,000, to be paid in stock, cattle and agricultural implements, after setting aside $50,000 for a pocr fund and paying out $54,000 capita. The Rosebud Sioux have 1 416,000 acres in Gregory county, South Dakota. The Red Lake Indians. in Minnesota have ceded 256,152 acres or $1 000,000. The Devil's Lake Indians in North Dakota have ceded 104,000 acres at about $3.30 per aere, to be paid in cash, $145,000 down and the balance in ten annual payments of $20,000 each. pe Almost a Painful Scene. isagreeable scene between well- known gentlemen was narrowly avert- ed in San Francisco the other night. It was after Mr. McGovern and Mr. ‘ ng Corbett” had concluded their momentous debate to the disadvantage of the former that the two gentlemen met in Mr. Corbett’s dressing-room. Mr. McGovern was impetuous and in- sisted on another encounter. Mr. Cor- bett was disdain’. “I hate you,” he aid, “and I can beat you every day e week and twice on Sunday.” sS so exasperated Mr. McGovern it was with difficulty that the ends of the gentlemen could pre- vent them from coming to blows. alection, ‘tour. years asa favorite on little pages of the house. The mem- ber was constantly doing little things to please the boy, of whom‘he was very fond. When the member win‘er the page seemed to be un- aware of his existence. He never vis ited him, and failed to take luncheox with him. as he had often done, The member, mystifie?, icalled him one day and inquirca the reason for the breaking off of the friendship. “Well, it's this way,” replicd the page, “You have been defeated, and I am aniy playing favorites, so, you see. 1 can’t be bothered with ycu any more.” A Question for Teachers. Who will tell me what is the plural of O? Is it “os” or “oes”? Tomatoes is the plural of tomato; stilletos is said to be the plural of stilletto. Here are some examples of inconsistency: Potato, potatoes; negro, negroes; buffalo, buffaloes; hero, heroes; dado, dados; toe, toes; canto, cantos; alto, altos; volcano, volcanoes; no, noes; pro, pros; tyro, tyros; wo, woes; oc: tavo, octavos; palmetto, palmettoes; grotto, grottoes; duello, duellos; car- go, cargoes; libretto, librettos, etc. You may have observed that our high and mighty dictionaries studiously avoid giving the plurals to _ these words, and to others ending in o. The right of. an educated author to spell as he pleases should never be ques- | tioned. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of petty minis.——New York Press. Schwab Early Showed Ability. Andrew Carnegie recently told a story on himself. He said some years ago he wanted to cross a mountain in Pennsylvania, and a youngster of rather hardy appearance offered to take him over for 50 cents. Carnegie thought the price too great, and told the boy he would pay him only 25 cents. After a long argument, in which each stuck to his price, the youngster won out, and Mr. Carnegie says he allowed the lad to collect the 50 cents, not because the trip was worth it, but because he haa to get on the other side of the mountain. “I predicted that the boy would some day make a fortune,” said Mr. Car- negie, “and he has. His name is Charles M. Schwab.”—Washington Correspondence New York Sun. Old-Time Stocks in England. A recent wish expressed by a mag- istrate at stratford, England, that cer- tain prisoners could be punished b7 confinement in the stocks recalls the | _ plumes itself upon the possession of | fact that some of those instruments of punishment still exist in that coun- try. There is ome at Havering-atte- Bower, not many miles from Strat: ford, and another is to bé found on the village green of Aldbury. Near the church at Brant Pelham is a rath- er notable example.

One of the latest of kitcher utensils to take its place cn the dressing table is the flatiron. which has been con- verted into a thing cf ornament as weil ; as use.
