Faster Succi after successfully com pleting his forty-five-days fast Saturday night Is now probably bulging with prov ender.

Natural gas is said to be growing so scarce in Tittsburg as to somewhat retard furnace work. Pittsburg should move a little nearer to 'Washington, where the sup ply is simply inexhaustible. Chicago has four divorce courts, to say nothing of all the home-maid courting that’s done around promiscuous like. But all of this amateur courting generally has to be polished off in the divoroe courts. Pittsburg iron puddlers say that tboy can get gas for fuel so cheap that they can pud dle a pig at very (small cost Pig puddles don’t generally come very high. Some pigs in this part of the country puddle them selves absolutely without cost. Beside 1,350 passengers, 1,006 sacks of mail of more or less value, aud a large mis cellaneous cargo, the steamship Majestic brought over to New York yesterday 52,625,000 in gold. Such a ship should cer tainly be Majestic, if any vessel may so appear. Freighted with so much treasure, she undeniably contained all the elements of marine majesty. When a woman has reached the mature age of 81 years she ought to know better than to place a kerosene lamp on the stove to fill it. Yet it appears that Mrs. Fedora Dembler of Batavia, N.

Decidedly the handsomest daily paper that has yet ornamented the Morning News exchange table is the souvenir edi tion of the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche, which commemorates the fiftieth adver sary of tho foundation of the paper. Fault lessly printed, handsomely illustrated and bound in a beautiful litho graphed cover, it is also rich in the remi niscent historical Interest of its literary contents, and does great credit to the enter prise of its publishers. buck a publication Is quite worthy of a much larger city than Memphis. Throwing lime In Mr. Parnell's eyes at Kilkenny was a barbarous otitrsge. Buch violence is I'.excusable upon any grounds whatever. Even upon the Dunn) brook fa r gr usds. Nothing is to let gait.eJ by such outlawry. Jiowuver disreputable a man might be oousiderad, that sort of treatment could only tend to turn the tide at public eyrajmlby In bis favor. WhaUvsr srgu itwuU his opponents have to 1 (to against him let them bring f<-rh. Tbatisjegiu misto war feu's. But pbjMcal vh.leac# only tw le ufMMi that* who ars rash enough to employ it Jietpito tb* striking lures of the suJiaiao it van can never convince tbe Parnell’s Hereditary Peculiarities. Quasi-friendly politicians undertake to account for Mr. Ptmcll'i extraordinary conduct upon the hypothesis that he is slightly do.-noatei. This tieory th?v un dertake to establish by citing the hereditary eccentricity of his family tor several gener ations, which they evidently regard as the mauifd tati m of a mild form of insanity. In this belief they certainly have the pre ponderance of probability on their side. Among other things the very eccentric behavior of Parnell’s three sis ers is re called by a reminisesut writer, who says that they, as well as their mother, were very enthusiastic spiritualist*, ami taeir e capades at frequent intervals very greatly astonished the staid rosidouts of Bordentown, N. J., where toe family lived at the time. Sometimes ths daughters would appear on their grounds at midnight clad only in the raiment of the bed-cham ber, and fire pistols at invisible objects supposed ta bo their retract ,ry and seditious spooks, that were to be brought into subjection. Beside their manners and dress are said to have been positively grotesque. One of the peculiarities of Par nell’s grandmother was to never reoognizo a neighbor except in her own house. Nor would she walk on the sidewalk nor visit a neighbor. Therefore she could not have gossiped much, which Beems to be prima facie evidence of dementia. No woman in her right mind would be likely to forego so dear a delight as that. Moreover it is said that among the many more or lets illustrious aneestors of Parnell was one I)r. Paruell, a poet who greatly admired and share 1 Dean Swift’s peculiar interpretations of morality, which are thought to have been transmitted from that remote source to the present head of the family. Such transmissions of family traits and characteristics have been recog nized by eminent philologists, and it may be true in this instance. But it seams rather improbable. Nevertheless it constitutes a very interesting subject of study for the curious. Possibly Irish patriots might Sad it an entertaining way of whiling away the tedium of monotonous waiting to sue who who will come out on top at the ragiug battle of Kilkenny. Conviction of the Paris Culprits. Knowing well that hecould not escape the guiilotme Strangler Eyraud’s frantic efforts to carry Gabriolle Bompard along with him were of the most malevolently vin dictive character. So palpably malicious was his evidence and alleged c onfessi in that it naturally tended to prejudice the court and jury in lavor of Mile. Bompard, and espe cially against any statement of Eyraud. Very clearly the sympathy of all Paris, and especially the grande domes of the Boulevarde St. Germaine, is still strongly in favor of Mile. Bompard. Evidence to show that she was under the hypnotio control of the strangler at the time he committed the crime was very strong. Still he persistently tried to shift the blame of its conception upon her. To this end bo tried to show that she helped him to put the body in a sack. But when a physician testified that it was put in head first the prisoner involuntarily shouted: “That could not be! While the body remained suspended I let it slide into the sack feet foremost." Thus he admitted that he had no help in the operation. Paris was wildly excited over the extraordinary case. In fact, the outcome was watched for with great interest throughout tho civilized world. Now that the trial tribunal has finally convicted (with Eyraud) La Belle Gabri elle, as the emotional French people call the beautiful culprit, there is no doubt but what all Paris will wildly reprobate the verdict. Nevertheless it was but the ra tional conclusion of the legal evidence, witu all possible occult influences eliminated. Between a professional “promoter” and tho publisher of a vampire “financial” paper the public could have but little pref erence as to which should get the better of a legal fight. They ire about equally dis honest. Whichever one may be exposed or punished the public is to that extent bene fited. So it is highly desirable that both should be fully exposed and punished. Two such men at odds may generally be retied upon to thoroughly blacken oach other. They know how to do it. Hence it is some what surprising that so sharp an adven turer as Harry Marks ot the London Fi nancial News should have sued Promoter Butterfield for libel, only to have all the charges proven against him. With so shady a record as he had he should have had sense enough to keep silent. But it was always a part of his nature to bluff hard. This time he was promptly called down and had to foot the expense of his folly. J ustice scores one. Although a physician has as much right to be paid as as any one else—and they some times neglect to enforce thut right— tho conduct of that Philadelphia student who bullied a poor woman for his pay, over the dead body of her husband, for whom he had not even attempted to do anything, was positively brutaL Still more disreputable was his conduct in breaking open a child’s bank and taking out the fatherless little one’s hoarded savings to satisfy his unjust and exorbitant demand of £3 for merely telling the eorrow-sti ieken women that her husband was dead, which was probably largely due to his dilatory manner of answering the call. If there is any law iu Philadelphia for the punishment of such contemptible meanness this young brute should get tho full benefit of it. That is rather a peculiar damage suit brought by a badly defeated republican candidate, claiming *I,OOO damage for each inimical editorial article published by the Utica Observer during the recent campaign. Yet he claims to be a lawyer. He is likely to realize a great deal of experience but very little money from this venture. Next lie might sue his successful opponent, who has palpably injured his life prospects somewhat. Then if he lias any courage or cash left he might take a whack at the state for enacting statutes unfriendly to his personal proclivities. There are plenty of chances in this free country for a candi date to have fun though defeated. What a difference there is between tbe failure of tho Hon. Wm. A.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1890. Tariff of Matrimonial Tolls. Putting an embargo ou single blessedness —or cusfednees. as you prefer to regard it— is the la’est freak of the Georgia legislature. Undr-r the provisions of a bill lately intro j duced at the capitol by Representative Seay ! of Floyd county bachelors between 21 and j :J6 years of age are to be taxed $25 a year; those between Mfl and 40 years, f.V); from 41 to 45 yours, $75; from 40 to 50 years, $100; from 51 to 55 years, $125; from 56 to 60 years, $150; and over6o years. S2:JO. That makes the toll pretty heavy on the old boys. All this the Roman tribune proposes to do under the plausible pretext of fostering what he calls “branch colleges," in which it s to be hujied and reasonably presum-'d that the adolescent youth of Georgia would very soon learn better reasoning and de velop better judgment than to suggest idle and unconstitutional, not to say ridicu ously unwise legislation. Though it is difficult to regard such au unique proposition as altogether serious, for the purpose of an illustration of its effects it may be momentarily so considered. Con ceive for the nonce, if you can, suoh an enactment operative. How is the tax gath erer to enforce collection of such a claim against an impecunious young man—or old one, either, for that matter ? Then examine the case of a toiling youth who bos a very hard struggle, under the most favorable conditious.to support an invalid mother and possibly several helpless brothers and sisters. Wouldn’t it bear down rather hard on him! Even though he chances to be a man of mature years there is but little difference. Possibly he is a cripple, aud finds life some thing of a aside from the struggle for existence. Many other instances of similar hardship In manifold varied forms are immediately suggested by so uttorly absurd a proposition. But the foregoing shall suffice. Exemptions that might be incorporated into the act would only serve os loopholes for the general evasion of its provisions. Pen alties devised to enforce it would wholly fail to reach the very class that the some what leaky astuteness of the noble Roman probably had in contemplation. Why, a brisk young man of any resources at all could get out of the state for less money than the sheriff would call for. Old men could go to Europe on the taxes they owed. Under those conditions such a spontaneous exodus of the flower of our youth and the stars of onr intellectual promise would simultaneously start for other lands afar, my countrymen, as never hath the great state of Georgia seen before in the annals of her imperishable history. Shattered femi nine hearts in prodigal profusion would be strew the land to the remotest limits thereof. Wails of anguish would rend the atmoi phero and comfort would be mighty scarce. About this time Solon Seay had better bolt for the tropic of Capricorn, or he wouldn’t have a hair left on his head. If his camlaries are not very thick and firmly fixed he had better slart now. With such a law in force a nine-dollars a-week young man couldn’t raise the funds to buy his best girl a Christmas present in order to facilitate the connubial campaign in c mpliauce w ith tho mandate of the law, no matter how hard he might hustle to hurry it along. Aside from that, where is his small start in life to come from? Such an impossible pecuniary problem might well drive him to drink or suicide, or both, VV'by, it would be money in his pocket to jump off the dock or eat a home-made mince pie. Funerals don’t come very high. One could have quite a comfortable funeral out of his toll tariff and save money. Evidently this Roman Cato has imbibed the simple faith in Providence and a gov ernment appropriation that mu3t have in spired a sweet pastoral poetess, whose simple •ong merged into silence long e’er the times changed to the hard practical selfishness that characterizes this age of rapid progress. Listen to her tender memories; He’d nothing but. his violin; I’d nothing but my song— But w e were wed when skies were blue And summer days were long; And when we rested bv the hedge The robins came and told How they had dared to woo and w in When early spring was cold. W e sometimes supped on dewberries, Or slept among the hay— But oft the farmers’ wives at eve Came out to hear us play The rare old tunes—the dear old tunes 1— We could not starve for long While my man had his violin And I my sweet love-song. The world has aye gone well with us, Old Man. since we were one!— Our homeless wandering down the lanes— It long ago was done. But thos3 who wait for gold or gear For houses and for kine. Till Youth's sweet spring crows brown and sere Aud love and beauty tine. Will never know tho joys of hearts That met without a fear When you had but your violin Aud 1 a song, my dear. Pathetically simple as that is it will inter est many but impress but few in this selfish ago when a little income availeth more than all the outcome that youth and genius may hold in store. “Money talks - ’ more than merit in matrimony. Beside all this tho proposed celibate pro scription would engender hypocrisy in tacit compliance with the law as well as augment matrimonial misery by actual conformity, just as in the case of a Pennsylvania town where unmarried men were always “laid off” m dull times. They created a perfect raging epidemic of matrimony in their impetuous haste to marry just any one for convenience and to retain their employ ment and salaries, regardless of con sequences. So would hypocrisy hero be generated and fostered. Divorce courts would then have to put on oxtra help and work double time to keep up with the con • stant rush of business. There are hundreds of young men who would be only too “hapDy though married,” if they only had the money to supjiort a wife. They well know that she would "make trouble” for lack of it. Possibly she would not marry at all without the cash. This aspect of the case is more or less aptly illustrated by a very fine professional poet who expresses it in this wise: Your foot is the tiniest that trips, love, Through tbe maddening ina/*> of lie waltz; Two blossoming buds are your lips, love, Your eyrs say your heart is not false. Your hands are so dainty and w iiite, love. Your figure so wondrouaty fine. That I'm tempted, altnoit but not quite love To say I adore you—be inlue! But bo; there is a frightening fear, love, that will not allow me to *p*k, Vou re spending toreu tOouotnd a year, love; I a * getting twelve dollars a week. In view of all tUi weighty and fncoo trovertlMe facts the Mossiko New* Is irresistibly impressed with tbe unalterable conviction that the mature matrons and uteri y maiden* of lie >rgia, to say nangnt of roew-tiline minds, will not fake kindly to fir. Moay’s little echoute. Clearly la * - 'unking is not tbs gentleman's “beet b Id." 1 By grappling with something vuiipler and more familiar he miy, in the course of human events, come to understand that: No exercise of jaw Ur.nd ng sumptuary law I as good As tiie exercise of paw On tne hand e of a saw— Sawing wood. • Thi* absurd paragraph recently appeared in the New York World: “William Stein way bears c inclusive testimony to the fact that Gov. Hill supported Grover Cleve land loyally in the last presidential cam paign, and that Mr. Cleveland acknowl edged tha service after the campaign was over. There never was any ground for doubt on this point in any honest mind. Now will somebody oite one word rr act of President Cleveland in that campaign In support of the candidacy of Gov. HiUP’ At the same time "somebody” might also find it a trifle diffi cult to show up suddenly “a word or act of Gov. Hill" in favor of the candidacy of his friend Dry Dollar Sullivan or Paddy Divver. No candidate for tho highest executive office of a state or nation qould reasonably be expected to eitablish an im perishable rocord in favor of each of his subordinate ostensible supporters of doubt ful loyalty. Still the prejudiced utterances of their several partisans does not est kbits h his opposition nor even indifference to their success. ■ v - W*' —, ■ .... , PERSONAL.

Rosalie Month/ -.son, who was married years ago to Prime Minister Crispl of Italy, but with some defect of ceremonial which afterward per mitted her repudiation, is about to publish her memoirs, which are exported to make an enor mous sensation in Italy. Census Superintendent Porter estimates that in 1900 the population will be about 78.000,- 000. an increase of 15,000,000 for the decade. Gen. Walker, the HUperintende.il of the census of 1880, in an article published in 1873 predicted that the populate, of tie country in 1900 would lie about 75,000,000 under the most favor able circumstances. Senator Ingalls was asked the other day if he intended to take any special notice of the letter of Mr. Cleveland addressed to Mr. Acers in Kansas City. Mr. Ingalls replied that he had been thinking seriously of writing a private let ter of thanks to Mr. Cleveland. The letter had done him so much good that he felt really grateful toward Mr. Cleveland. Ex-Gov. Foraker of Ohio said to a New York reporter: ••Blaine is very papular and if he will let himself be nominated he will be. Ido not believe he is in any sense a candidate. His con nection with tho cabinet would prevent Mr. Blaine’s becoming a candidate were he other wise disposed to consider the matter, which is improbable. The sentiment throughout the country for Mr. Blaine is so strong, however, that unless he positively refuses to a low his name to go before the republican convention in 1892 he will be the unanimous choice of the party.” Mr. Stead writes of Mr. Morley that he neither rides, nor skates, nor bicycles, nor goes a-fishing. No one ever heard of him playing at cricket, or rowing, and his interest in lawn ten nis is solely that of a spectator. He has been so from his youtti up, his pleasures being those of the intellect. He revels in long walks across tho hills or solitary meditations in country lanes. But, on the a hole, he is probably hap piest If you give him A book and a shady seat in a quiet garden. Give him a favorite book and a tamiiiar garden /eat and he has all that can most minister to his pleasurable content. BRIGHT BIT 9.

"I have often thought that if I had such a mug as yours I would hire it out to a paper-mask factory as a pattern." Thought He Called Them Prunes. “Prunes” is a very harmless word and afa vorite fruit in California, soys the San Francisco Chronicle. Very few people get angry at the mention of prunes, and yet last night the word caused a waiter's hair to be pulled, two elegant dresses to be sadly soiled and a nice lot of crockery to be broken. The trouble occurred lu a Turk street restau rant. This restaurant bad but one drawback It had a waiter who it absent-minded. Some times he is very absent-minded. Last night he was particularly so. About 9 o'clock two women went into the restaurant One wore a black silk with a net work over it, and the other wore a gray surah. The ladies took seats. They gazed at Henry, the waiter. Henry, still gazing iuto space, passed olose by them, and, rollon ing some bent of the mind governed by some past event, called out aloud to his assistant: "Two prunes!" "Hid you bear that?” said the lady with the black dress. "The nasty brute.” exclaimed the lady with the gray dregs. Black and gray dress arose with one accord. "You have insulted us,” they cried out. “Who? Me! ” said the unconscious Henry. “Yes, you,” exclaimed the owners of the two dresses. “Why. I never opened my lips.” There was a duet: “You called us two prunes, you nasty thing.” "Why, I never said a word," asseverated Henry. "I)o you mean to say we tell lies?" inquired two angry voices. Henry shrugged his shoulders. This seemed a signal for war. A dry. cracking sound broke the momentary stillness. Henry had been sapped. The lady In the black dress had done it. The lady in the gray dress intended to fol low suit. Henry, who in his infancy was called Henrique, does not believe in the other c <-e; theory. He resented the lies by trying to hold the two women so that they could not slp him again. There was a scuffle. Two nice dresses were rumpled and torn and some nice crockery was broken. Tne proprietor arrived. Peace followed. Just a Tr 3e tuep cious. I arrived in a small town in Kentucky late at night with three other men. and when we reached the hotel two of us were assigned to a room.

My roommate seemed to be a suspicious sort of ohap. and wben 1 tumbled Into be.l, with a good night to him. he scarcely deigned a reply. I was asleep in ten m nines, but two hours later I awoke to find him Btlll sitting in his chair aud wide awake. “Hello: What ails you?” I asked, "Nothing." "Troubled with insomnia?" “No." “Sleep all day?" "No.' “Afraid of me?” "To be honoßt with you, stranger, 1 am," he admitted. "That seems funny. Do I look like a thief?” "No, you don't: but I have done some figuring in this. You gave the landlord your wallet and watch, didn’t you?" "Yes." "Well, there’s more value than he has prob ably ever teen before. He'll skip with your stuff before daylight." "Well 1” “And then you’ll have to rob me to get on. Stranger, I'm a man as don’t never take no chances. I’ve got a rsvolver here, and the first move you make to get out of bed I’ll plug you!” "I can turn over, cui’t I?" “Yes, but be powerful careful about it, for I’m up to snuff.” 1 turned over aid went to sleep again, says the Detroit Free Press, and when morning came his movinz around awoke me. I tried to joke him, but he was sour aud morose and wouldn't take it. When we went down stairs it was to find the colored help sitting in the early sun, with no move toward broafast. "What’s the matter?" 1 asked. "Mars has dun gone an’ left de place in de night an’ dar’s nobody to boss!” was the reply. My roommate had llgured ‘‘right smart." Where Superstitions Were Verified. It is one ot the superstition* of a gambler that he must relieve distress. Were the hand of in digence and suffering extended a thousand times a day he would be compelled to load it with a sliver of his wealth, but it is a popular belief that vast losses would attend the free hearted giver in case his money imparted in charity was played against himself. There are many stories in illustration of this. Whitey Rupp, one time proprietor of a pros perous faro bank in Wichita, one afternoon was descending the stairs which led to the lair of his particular tiger, when a broken sport narn -d Bid Chenault sought alms at his hands. Rupp was in good humor. His bank had piled up the ingots the night before; he had just eaten a comfortable dinuer and he paused long enough to give Chenault SSO. Chenault. an in veterate gamester himself, ate briefly and spar ingly, and then hastened bans to Rupp's bank with the balanco and begau to play. Had tha dealers known the source of bis wealth, they would have barred him. Chenault won again and again. He then divided his possessions among several of his cronies looking on. There was Tom Arnold, who now deals monte in El Paso; Sam Arnold, who was subsequently shot to death in Oklahoma City, and several others. They blithely shoved the money about Rupp’s layout in a way to insure the widest "action.” Never had suen luck attended so dmunutive a raid. Rupp was absent only an hour aud thirty minutes. He came back to bis rooms, and as so>>n as be discovered what was in progress, with curses and maledictions, stopped the nlay of Chenault and his coterie, not, however, until they had rolled their bundle of plunder up to the neat outline of 83.700. His bad luck, in voked by the treacherous turning of his girts against himself by tae unprincipled Chenault, never flagged or faltered in it* stride uutil, in less than two months. Whitey Rupp, a loser of over $7,000, left Wichita ruined. Love's Language. Her lii* have never yet betrayed Her heart to me, hut O! Wliat care I tho" she never tell What I already know ?

ITEAI3 OF INTBRE3T. “Book Talk*’ says that “Osar’s column." published last spring, anticipated Koch s dis covery. It represents a philosopher living 100 years from now as finding out that all bactera were acorn p mled by minute hostile forms of life tua pri-y upon them: that these preserve the balance of nature, and, by destroying the other bacilli w.ieh infest the animal world pre vent the utter destruction of man. M. de Frzyci.net, "the little white mouse," as he is nick named in Paris, is prodigiously proud of his election to the academy. He attribute) his success to his literary merits, which he has himself always rated much higher than the world has done. In reality, his election to a seat among the immortals is due to the feeling that to him is due most of the credit for reoipamz ing the I ranch army, which, it is fondly believed by all Frenchmen, is now quite a match for the hosts of Germany. There is. properly speaking, nothing good to eat in England but roast beef and mutton chops and fried sole. Coming from Paris, where the whola soul was moved to ecxtacy by the melting delicioustiess of seductive viands, there is : me tnmg barbarously rude and unsatisfactory in the things witn which he is forced to sustain life in London. The bread is for the most part as dens) a, the English apprec.ation of a jest, whde the compounding of sauces is an art the Britisher cannot learn, any more than he can anpreciate them when they have been con cocted. He who goes to England to eat is as wise as he who goes to Patagonia to study art. A Chicago commission- firm of this city has received and filled rather an odd order. A num ber of ex-Chicagoans living in the vicinity of Shanghai. China, opened correspondence with the firm with rrgard to the feasibility of im porting into the Celestial domain a number of live American quail for the purpose of propagat ing the speties u that corner of the w-orld. The order was for 100 dozen, and the first consign ment of thirty dozen has been shipp <d, the con signee being J. Ward Hall. The quail is a hardy bird, and easily adopts itself to circumstances, “““ is not impossible that ”B b bite’s ’ whistle will soon be heard from the fields of the Orient. 1e Mrs. Frank Leslie prefers a newspaper man to Ho Leuville, that padded marquis seems to have consoled himself, for he wears conspicu ously aniinm nse gold bracelet, said to be the lina with which a woman with more, money than she knows how to spend wisely has bound i ■ \ to her. De Leuville prides himself on his skill us a shot, and at certain receptions in New York ins feminine adorers used to be called on to ad mire a board framed in velvet in which appeared his initials in bullet holes Bald to have oofin made at a distance of twenty Daces. The i fun of the thing was, De Leuville can no more 1 ■Hoot than he can appear tall without high j heels. The proprietor of the gallery where he ! practiced gave the joke away by rendering ' judgment that De Leuville with good luck might h.t the board—somewhere, three out of tour ! times. The report has been alternately made and denied that a protectionist professor in the University of Pennsylvania had been called to the professorship of political economy at Har vard. and much comment has been made upon the significance of such a step. The truth of the matter, as ascertained in an interview wdth 1 resident Elliott, is that, about a yoaragjo, and not recently, as the report states, the Harvard corporation offered Prof. Edmund J. James, of the University of Pennsylvania, the assistant professorship left vacant by the resirnaliou of Lau&hlin. Prof. James considered the } offer for two months and finally declined it. be cause of the insuffic.eiit salary ven an assistant professor, and not beet use of his adherence to i any school of economic principles. President El liot states that neither free trade nor protection is advocated in the lecture room at Harvard. The woman's lunch oounter in New York city is a dazzling success, and is patronized as ex tensively as any of the men's places down town, says the Sun. The women took to it from the day it was started, and now no j’oung woman, with a day’s shopping, or a list of callers on hand, would think of wasting time at a restau rant table. Last Saturday noon a reporter fol lowed a crowd of women into a well-known restaurant in upper Broadway. Ail turned to one side of the room, wheie there was an oval lunch counter of cherry, smoothly polished and much lower than the lunch connters patronized by inn exclusively. The stools were of cherry with cane-bottom seats. Sixty persons could sit very comfortably ut the counter, but the managers o£ the institution had crowded the seats together so as to accommodate more. The service was much bett.-r tnan men are ac customed to. At the time of the reporter’s en trance the seats were nearly all taken. Behind the couuter were four mild-mannered waiters in white Jackets and aprons. All sorts of femi nine gossip could be heard, and. of course, that settles it. Stools for ladies’lunch counters are a success. "Has it ever struck you," said a Pltf.sburger. who paints not signs but pictures, yesterday, “that red is a very dangerous color, that it stands for danger in all sorts of ways. On the railroads, of course you know, red is the dauger signal in flags Dy day, in lamp : by night. Every body is accustomed to the i lea ot red as a warning on the railroads, and at sea the red light serves the same purpose. Then red stands for anarchy. The anarchists are often called the reds, and the flag which has waved over some of the bloodiest scenes in the world’s history is a sanguinary red. To wave a red flag before a bull 1* about as dangerous a thing as you can do. The uniform of the fireman has been red since time immemorial,although since organized fire departments have been organized the color has been sensibly changed, for the element the firemen light is red. and the danger of the confusion of men and flames is apparent. The hue of the poppr in the fields suggests the dangerous side of the narcotic it harbors. Someone aware of the dangers of debauches has coined the phrase we know so well. ‘Fainting the town red.’ Bed in art is a risky color to use unless the painter knows thoroughly how to use it, as Sir Edwin Landseer did in his pictures, which invariably contained a touch of red somewhere. Turner employed red lavishly, and although he suc ceeded in producing marvelous effects, his fol lowers have male countless millions mourn over fiery corruscatlons on canvas. Wherever you turn you find rod as a mark of peril." "In literature is it so?” ‘Wes, even in literature, for are not bad books most harmful when they are read ?” The three state dinners and the four evening receptions to be given by the President and Mrs. Harrison within the short compass of the official season, which in 1891 will be only six weeks, will talta one aud sometimes two nights a week. Besides these fixed events all the pos sibilities of Mrs. McKee's ball open up another charming vista. Sirs. McKee has her mind quite set upon this party, for each year she is at the white house as a recognition for all the courtesies showered upon herself while she is here. It may anticipate the regular season or be given as its grand finale, just as the plans of the winter make it seem best. Other things already settled upon as certainties are tho five meetings of the dancing class, the first of which will lie held at the National Rifles’ hall on the evening of the 16th; the Bowling Club cotillion, during Christmas week; Mrs. Howard White's dancing recep tions. the bachelors’ and army and navy ger mans. the large dinners and dances at the Brit ish legation, the two or threo balls sure to he given by Mrs. Hearst in honor of her guest. Miss Sanderson of California, who is to winter with her, and die card reception-* at the homes of the Postmaster General. Secretary aad Mrs. Noble, Secretary and Mrs. Windom. Both of the latter hope to give receptions they had planned to give last winter, when the sad affliction that befell the household of Secretary Tracy caused their postponement. The wedding bells will be heard now and then during the gay Reason also, and these events will add another festive touch to the gay ouUook, aud with those already named and a hundred more entirely unexpected make a certainty of a season with enough opportuni ties of pleasure to suit the liveliest. Having read au article on “Talking Birds," a reader writes to The London Spectator: “I think you may like to hear of a canary who had been taught to repeat a phrase, and could do it much more sweetly than a parrot. lie was not a German bird, nor of any remarkable breed at all, and was bought when very young, chiefly on account of its b unity.
