' SS 5 |J| Women Aro Just The Same. “Madam," said the gallant old man, after obeying her request to close the car window, “I was just thinkiog how different the women of to-day are from those of ten or fifteen years ago in the matter of travel. Formerly i lady, who had to travel alone was—” “Yes, sir," she interrupted, but would you please tell me it I am on the righ train for Buffalo!” "You are, Madarn As I was say ing, the women of ten years ago were continually worrying for fear—" “And does this car go right through without change?” “It does, Madam. 1 was going say that the women- “And do you think my trunk will go right through with me?” “Of course, Madam. In former years a woman traveling alone was afraid that—’’ "You are sure we are on the right train?" she interrupted. “Very sure." “And we don’t change?” “No’m,” “And we get in at 6 o'clock? ’ “We do.” “And they’ll call out the name when we get there?” “Oh, yes.” “Well, I hope nothing will happen but I am very, very nervous. Would you mind asking the conductor if we are likely to have a collision?” And the gallant old man, who saw such a great difference between the woman travelling to-day and those ol ten years ago, says the New York Sun, retired info his shell looking as though something had rubbed against his placidity of mind. The Minuet and Cotillion. This is certainly a century of reviv als. The minuet and cotillion are being danced, we drink our tea out of old china and are prouder of old silver plate than the most beautiful of mod ern designs, we go back to Queen Anne’s time lor our houses, and to Sheraton and Chippendale for the de signs for our furniture. As to our pastimes, the origin of tennis is an tique enough for anything: and now we are reviving croquet, the graceful pastime which has been hibernating’ so to speak, for fourteen or fifteen years.' I aro glad that it is so. I think that tennis, like other sports, is rapidly acquiring a taint of profession* alism. Besides this, it is a selfish game, so far as concerns the inability of people no longer very young to withstand the violent exercise it in volves; and now, what with the rules and regulations and text books and champions and columns all to itself, in the papers, it is becoming quite as •pubi c” a game as cricket or foot ball- Indeed, when I have seen some of my friends charging across a lawn as hard as they could go, with faces like the August sun at noonday ought to be. perspiration running down their cheeks 1 hair disheveled and a generally breath less look about them, I think, as the shah does about dancing, that "it is folly for people to take such violent exercise, when they can pay others to do it for them.”. Croquet requires just as careful and scientific playine as ten pis, and if it is not as athletic a game, it is certainly more graceful and quite as interesting, and I wish all success to its rival.—Kathleen, in Leeds Mer cury. Last of the Buffalos. Twenty years ago there roamed over the plains and mountains of the far West, nearly 8,000,000 buffaloes. To-day there ore less than 500 head of the animals in existence. There are but 85 head of wild buffaloes, 204 olive in captivity, and about 200 un der the protection of the government in Yellowstono park. There is also said to be about 500 head iu the Brit ish possessions, north of Montana, but this is rumor. Of the eighty five head of wild buffaloes which are known to exist, twenty-five are in Texas, twenty in Colorado, twenty- six in Wyoming, ten in Montana and four in Dakota. The statistics have been carefully gathered by the officials of the Smithsonian institution, and it is absolutely known that the number stated comprises all the wild buffaloes of the world. The skeletons of tbq^Oumcrous herds of a score of years ago aro bleaching on the West- plains, a tribute to the prowess of urerican Nimrod.—Washington WHICH WILL IT nr t Which Is the fairest, a roso or a Illy?
