r Mme. Paul Bonnetaiu has had a ride worth chronicling. She accompanied her husband, a novelist, to Africa, and has just completed a solitary and adventurous journey through the bush to the Niger. The adventurous couple were accompanied by their little daughter. Queen Victoria is not a scrupulously neat woman, and those who meet her on her few public appearances comment upon the dustiness of her bonnet and the crumpled state of her collar. She is always a little awry, and although she will start out, of course, in a spick and span state of elegance, always returns more or less disheveled. Very oriental-looking is a bonnet of ombre miroir velvet in rich dark blending of brown. green and red, arranged round a small flat jeweled crown in turban-like folds, with three black ostrich tips at one side, one of them quaintly caught down over the jeweled crown. The' bon • net is fringed all around with a narrow gold hued fringe, and when on the head it is wonderfully stylish and unusual. Mme. Severine, the French journalist, has a co-laborer, whose share in the division of labor is to fight duels with the irate individuals | whom madame’s articles has enraged. Recently this fighting partner had a duel with a Socialist offended by one of Mme. Severine’s articles, and appeased ium by being run through the arm.

The only woman who is a professional horse trainer is an English woman, Mrs. Chailoner, the widow of a well-known jockey and the sister of another one. When her husband died*' she knew how to continue his business and she did it. Her eldest son is following in the footsteps of his parents and the four younger ones are all good jockeys. 7 . Dr. Koch, the renowned bacteriologist, nearly lost his assistant, Dr. Freymuth, in the cholera laboratory at Danzig the other day. He was poisoned by accidentally swallowing some cholera baccilli. He fell sick, exhibiting all the symptoms of the Asiatic cholera and his life was saved with great difficulty. It appears that after handling cholera baccilli all morning he sat down to his lunch without going through the formality of washing his hands. Three days later the symptoms ap-peared—-chilis, stomach ache, dizziness, etc. The physicians of the laboratory at once took him in charge and barely saved his life. “There is little doubt here.” says a New York correspondent, “that’it is Mr. Cleveland’s purpose to secure for Dan Lamont the nomination for Governor of New York a year from next fall, and that Lamont himself would willlingly leave the Cabinet to hold an office which many regard as second only in influence to that of the Presidency. Tammany would not greatly object to Lamont’s nomination. With that quality which is characteristic of him Lamont has been atye to gain and maintain friendship wiih the Tdmmany leaders, and is in fact believed to be in closer sympathy with them than with the an ti-snapper crowd. W ith Lamont as Governor the machine in that State would be so managed as to serve whatever purposes Mr. Cleveland may have in view for 1896.
