We should like to see the color of the hair of any mortal being who will reasonably and logically explain why a hotel or a boarding house debt is any more sacred than doctor’s or printer's bills, and yet a man can be arrested and placed in jail for jumping a hotel or boarding house bill, while he can jump the doctor’s or the printer’s bills, tell* them to go tt> the lower regions and that is a receipt in full.

NEW YORK BY NIGHT. The Spectacle of Its Lights Frorr Rivers and Harbor. By whatever route you reach or leave Manhattan Island in the evening the river lights are beautiful. On the North river the spectacle varies according to the hour and season, for the downtown lights in Manhattan are more uumer ous when the days are short and the tenants of the great office buildings have to light up to finish their day’s work. Across from the lower Jersey ferries late in the afternoon of a winter day glow and sparkle the great company of tall shafts grouped against the sky, each one pierced to the top with regular rows of shining windows. A memorable sight they make, those shafts and huge blocks of gleaming holes, reaching far above their neighbors that come between them and the river. There is much in that spectacle to recompense a tired man for being a commuter, and nowhere else on earth is there the like of it. And, besides the tall shafts and the intervening lower lights and the glow of the streets that run to the river and border it, there are all the river lights—the ferryboats, with their long rows of bright windows, hurrying on their various courses; the sound steamers going out, other steamers coming in; all manner of lights more sober on all manner of shipping; the street glare and the ferry house and wharf lights ashore, and, higher up, here and there the obtrusive and commercial but none the less radiant advertising signS. The downtown office building lights go out early, most of them, but up the river some of the tall uptown hotels continue, ail the evening and in spite of curtained windows, to be lighthouses. On the East river, besides the city lights and the river lights, are the high, curving bridges, very striking and beautiful, with their unobstructed outlines marked by the glow’ of the electric bulbs. There is poetry in these river lights, bordered and framed by the dark shining water and reflected in it.—E. S. Martin in Harper’s. Women Estimated by Weight. The natives of the Sandwich islands estimate women by their weight. The Chinese require them to have deformed feet and black teeth. A girl must be tattooed sky-blue and wear a nose ring to satisfy a South Sea islander. Certain African princes require their brides to have their teeth filed into the semblance of a saw. For catarrh, let me send you free, just to prove merit, a trial size box of Dr. Shoop’s Catarrh Remedy. It is a snow white, creamy, healing, antiseptic balm that gives instant relief to catarrh of the nose and throat. Make the free test and see. Address Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis. Large jars, 50 , cents.
