Other People.

JayGonld has a superstition in the matter of elevators. He always climbs the stairs.

Ernest Schilling still rings up fares on the Sixth avenue line, and avoids any allusion to the absence of his wife.

A Connecticut constable arrested woman, and to secure her put her arms around a tree and then slipped on hand cufls. She brought suit for damages and won. "My answer to the question, how I was educated, ends where it began: I had the right mother," writes President Timothy Dwight, of Yale college, to the Forum.

The President has surrendered completely. He has been discovered wearing a crazy quilt dressing gown, alligator slippers, and a smoking cap. He also kisses all the babies taken to the White House.

When Joseph Cook appears on the streets of Boston he is dressed in a solemn black, carries a well-known grip-sack, and along gap between the bottoms of his trousers and the tops of his Congress gaiters displays a glaring and gaudy expanse of red stockings. '•I have lain awake a thousand nights wondering how I could clear a guilty rascal, where I have been troubled one hour to get an honest man his just deserts," were tho dyirtg words of a New England lawyer, who, of course, died rich and respected.

George Alfred Townsend writes to a magazine that when he first entered a newspaper office he was very bashful and and modest and "his blushing appearance" was much against him. We only publish this to show how wonderfully some men can overcome their defects.

One boy in Springfield, Mass., is so bright that he has got into the newspapers. The brightness consisted in asking his school-teacher how far a procession of the Presidents of the United States would reach if tjiey were placed in a row. When she gave it up he answered: "From Washington to Cleveland."

A current advertisement in a Seattle, W. T., paper reads as follows: "Whereas, I havo left my wife and board whereks, I have become attached to another and more attractive woman, I hereby give warning to the public that I will in future pay my own bills without any assistance from her whatever."

At Professor Proctor's dancing academy in Washington, seven of the girls displeased several of the boys by occasionally refusing to dance with them. Thereupon a boycott was laid and at the next meeting of the class the seven offending girls wore horrified to find that not a single young fellow asked them to dance, and they sat the whole evening out without dancing and without partners.

In anew dictionary of biography, containing 40,000 names, all the Rothschilds and and Astors put together receive only as many lines as are accorded to Harriet BeocherStowe. CorneliusYanderbilt receives loss attention than Paganini and A. T. Stewart no more than Daniel Lambert, the fat man. Even the three rich benefactors—Girard, George Peabody and Sir Moses Montefiore—united take loss room than John Wesley or Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Tho tomb of Thaddeus Stevens, upon which Mr. Blaine recently placed a rose, bears the following characteristic inscription written by the great Commoner himself: "I rest in this quiet and secluded spot not because of any natural preference for solitude, but finding other cemeteries limited as to race by charter rules, I choose to bo buried here, that I may exemplify in my death the princi pies I have maintained throughout a long life—equality of man before his Croator.

Mr. Jamos E. Murdoch, tho veteran actor, relates that at the outbreak of the war ho was playing in "Hamlet" at Milwaukee. Tho play was half finished when there was a tumult in the house. The actors paused. A man sprang upon the stage and read Lincoln's call for 75,000 troops. The play was never fin ished, but Mr. Murdoch, in the garb of Hamlet, stood by the sido of Matt Carpenter aud made a speech for the Union. Xext day ho packed up his wardrobe and never reopened the trunks until tho war was over.

Doc Johnson of Littlefield, Idaho, is a professional gambler of the John Oakhurst type,dresses faultlessly, is particularly polite, and very popular. He won money of another gambler known as French Joe, and a quarrel followed. Joe, who was a big man, weighing Impounds, slapped Doc, who is slight. Doc asked him to stop, and when Joe didn't stop drew a pistol and shot him dead. This was in Doe's gambling house, which was crowded. After the shooting Doc treated the ertfwd, and after drinking walked to the dead man. who lay where he fell, and said: "Well, Joe, you have been looking for this for the last five days. I tried to avoid it. May God bless you and forgive you for taking advantage of me." He then gave $100 toward the tmermfc exjsenses. The coroner's jury exonerated Doe from ail blame.

TIME IT WAS ENDED: JG

[Cedar Rapids Chat.]

It is high time that this thing of recognizing a girl as ruined, because she has made a single mistake, is ended. The Christian world allows any young man a chance to redeem himself and Jttoome something even after he has eqd0Mted blunder after blunder, and hs^lBberately sinned again and again, buTl girl who has made one single mistake of the heart is ruined and literally dammed forever. This is not true however—not as it should be—not as it will be when we become true followers of the great and good teacher, Jesus Christ. A girl should be given the same opportunities to outlive a sin committed by heras her brother has.

Why the girl, who is the weaker of the two, should be ruined and branded as such for a lifetime for having committed a single mistake, while her brother, who is strong and well able to take care of himself, should be forgiven and again taken up by society, is something I can not aderstand. If some of our preach ere, teachers and parents would for the time being give the heathen in foreign lands a rest, and devote some of tjBieir time to the thousands of alleged filmed girls in our cities teach these gi: there is a future wortli living for, si them how to live right ana give%hem the necessary encouragement to do something, society would be better for it and our confidence in each other far stronger than it is at present.

Any man who has committed a sin and has outlived that sin, yet is willins to brand a woman for having committee the same sin, is a coward and a cur of the meanest type. This is plain talk, but gospel trutn all the same.

TO A YOUNG HOUSEKEEPER.

[Harper's Bazar.]

One of the best rules ever given by mother to a daughter just about to begin honsekeeping was, "Always see every part of your house from garret to cellar at least once a day: the servants get to know this, and consequently they never throw things into corners, or leave un tidy closets." This is especially good advice concerning the kitchen: Make a point of opening pantry drawers, lifting the washtub lids take a look into the refrigerator every morning, and see what a difference it will make in the cooks neatness. A good mistress can always manage to do this while she is giving tne day's orders, and in such a way as not to offend the girl's feelings for some—and the best girls—are very sensitive about being watched, or rather at having their ability to keep a tidy kitchen doubted. At the same time, the knowledge that her mistress is more likely to take a look into the refrigerator at any time will greatly influence the putting away of provisions and keeping the waste-pan empty.

A POINTED DREAM.

Boston Courier.

The "dream clubs" which wore organized at Bar Harbor during the summer are still in existence in certain circles, and the young ladies meet in each others houses to relate their dreams. With this preface the following will be intelligible to all:

Beau—Are you a member of the Young LadiesT Dream Club, Jennie? Belle—Yes. Oh! we have such delightful times. We meet three times a week and relate the dreams we have had since the last meeting. And some of the dreams are just too funny for anything.

Beau—What was the nature of the last dream yon had? Belle—Must I tell you?

Beau—If you please. Belle—Well, I dreamed that you proposed

SOMETHING TO EMULATE\

[Life.]

Our lady friends might learn a great deal in the way of dress by spending an evoning at Niblo's, where bustleless, stayless maidens disport themselves with a becoming grace. Anything that tends to the education of womankind upon the all-important subject of what we shall wear should be encouraged, and the costuming of "Theodora," showing that beauty and artifice are not insepara ble in dress, is worthy of the enthusiastic admiration of every man to whom the woman of the period appears to be so much whalebone, wire and flounce.

UNDISPUTED MERIT.

The great success of the Royal Baking Powder, is due to the extreme care exercised by its manufacture to make it entirely puro, uniform in quality, and of tho highest leavening power. All the scientific knowledge, care and skill, attained by a twenty years' practical ex perience, are contributed toward this end, and no pharmaceutical preparation can be dispensed with a greater accuracy, precision and exactness. Every article used is absolutely pure. A number of chemists are employed to test the strength of each ingredient, so that its exact power and effect in combination with its co-ingredients, is definitely known. Nothing is trusted to chance, and no person is employed in the preparation of the materials used or the manufacture of the powder, who is not an expert in his particular branch of the business. As a consequence, the Royal Baking Powder is of the highest grade of excellence, always pure, wholesome and uniform in quality. Each box is exactly like every other and will retain its powers and produce the same and the hignest leavening effect in any climate, at any time. The Government Chemists, after having analyzed all the principal brands in the market, in their reports
