THE LADIES SPOKE FRENCH.

Unfortunately Some of Their FcJlcvr Travelers Did Also A beautiful example of tjie sublime feith some people have in the superiority of their attainments over those of th& people by whom they are surroiAded, and of the conftision "which occasionally ensues when it transpires that such faith has been misplaced, was presented in a railway car recently. $

A lady and gentleman, the

spic-^nd-

span newness of whose apparel- and belongings and the flawlessness of whose courtesy to each other bespoke their freshly wedded state, were speeding along in the express from Boston. At one of the stations they alighted and presently returned, accompanied by a young lady who was evidently the sister of the bride. During their brief absence their places had been taken by new comers and it was necessary for the party to distribute itself through the car. The sisters pouted a little at being separated by the aisle, and craned their heads across to whisper to each other.

They seemed to have a great deal to say. This was proved when they bit upon the happy expedient of conversing in French. From this time they sat comfortably erect and talked across in tones sufficiently loud to be easily heard above the noise of the train. Their French was not that of the salons. It had probably been acquired in the nursery from "Some voluble bonne. But it proved all sufficient for the transmission of the most confidential tales of the voting wife's brief matrimonal career. It transpired that she was on her wedding journey, and not having seeriher sister since the day when she started out in a rain storm of rice and slippers she had much to impart, and the particulars were thrilling. They talked in the somewhat thin, fine voices which are characteristic of "Down east" maidens, and which penetrate like a child's treble.

When an occasional stop was made they were too interested to pause, and did not even lower their tones, they felt so sure everybody else in the car could only understand United States. The wife had disclosed the whole history up to the present time when the train came to a stop in the Grand Central depot. Then in the sudden hush a gentleman and lady who had been sitting near by exchanged a few sentences relative to their luggage and plans and spolro in correct and fluent French. As their accents fell upon the ears of the authors'of les confidences the effect was marvelous, and the girls turned and fled like the Assyrian host, leaving their beldiigings to be collected by the young husband, who had understood nothing and seemed wholly mystified.—New York World.

A Way to Sulnliio Dogs,

A gentleman who has had a good deal of experience in the management of dogs says that the most vicious brute can be speedily conquered by any powerful odor, especially a pungent odor like ammonia. He tells how he" once won a wager on handling a dog that few persons could approach. It was in a little town in Canada. The conversation being ftie subject of dogs, the proprietor of the inn where he was stopping laid a wager tha* his visitor could not put liis hands upon a dog chained up in the back yard. "All right," said tho visitor, "but as a matter of precaution for the protection of my hands I will go upstairs and put on a pair of gloves. 'I put on a pair of old buckskin gloves," says the gentleman, in telling the story, "and saturated the right hand with am monia. We then went out to the dog, and at my approach he rushed from his kennel with open mouth. As soon as he got within reach I thrust out my right hand. Instead of biting it he turned tail and ran back into his kennel. Then I went to the kennel, and putting my hand inside made him come out again. The secret of the matter is that a dog can't bite without drawing in his breath, and as he does so he inhales the ammonia, which partially suffocates him and subdues for the time being his biting propensity. Some dogs may be subdued with cologne."—-New York Times.

An English-American Joke. In London there is a joke going tHe rounds of the clubs under the libelous guise of an American joke. They tell of the cremation of a certain Yankee, who, just before yielding up the ghost, expressed the wish that his dead body should bo committed to the flames. Accordingly therefore the corpse was duly conveyed to the crematory and, in the presence of a large concourse of bereaved friends, consigned to the glowing chamber in the midst of the roaring furnace. The corpse bad been in the furnace half an hour, when the sorrowing friends, impelled by a morbid curiosity, slyly opened the door and peered in to see how the melancholy work of cremation was progressing. Thereupon, to the surprise of all, the corpse sat up in the coffin, stark, blue and shivering, and cried out: "Please shut that door—yon know very well I never could stand a draught!"—Eugene Field in Chicago News. -c

Ornamental Tiles.'

The art of making the ornamental tiles which are so often laid in floors and used for various decorative purposes seems to have taken its rise during the latter half of the Twelfth century, but tile work was not generally used before the middle of the Thirteenth. Mosaic work, which is much older, was done by an entirely different process. The tiles were made of clay and baked the mosaics were nade of stones of different colors,—Y oa th's Companion. 4

Manrfco~l dotft Ibr i€£ Isolde—I don't say that like it, bat I say It is mattic worth listening to.

LONELINESS.

To be alone? It is not that which sends Tbetdckeoing. hopeless ache, the stifled pain Against my heart. Bat O, to know how vain It Is to mourn! When doll despondence blends

With all the hourly deeds of every day And tarns the labor, that erstwhile was sweet, To bitter sadness. Each thing is replete

With some mote thought, and haunting memories prey With sharp insistence on my mind i\» .,

To thus drag on, when all life's light is gone To mte the daily love, the dear caress To hear the dead voice in tho moaning wind

To be with others, yet to know the one I need is gone this, this is loneliness. —New York Commercial Advertiser.

LIFE INSURANCE FOR WOMEN.

Circttmstanee* Which Have Eed to Giving It More Attention, It is regarded as a sign of the times in England and of the progress toward the equaliiiiatiou of the sexes that the life assurance offices are paying more attention to the insurance of female lives, and that this branch of their business is increasing. The married women's property act, which secures them in the enjoyment of their own property, and under which they can dispose of the sums payable at death as they please, has done a good deal to develop the insurance of female lives, and the increase fci the number of women who earn their own living, and have gone in for an independent career without regard to matrimony, has also helped tbe movement.

The latter class specially favor endowment policies payable either at death or a certain age. Women who have undertaken the laborious profession of nursiug, for instance, look forward to a time when they will be set aside, and when a few hundred pounds may be very acceptable, and so they arrange for the payment to fall due at fifty or fifty-five years of age. Actuaries of the old school do not relish these new fangled notions, as they regard them, being a clear departure from the principle of insurance against death but insurance against life in the years of decay is in actual experience quite as great a necessity. Endowment policies area need of the age, and life offices do well to supply it. Certainly women who are their own breadwinners appreciate the system.

If the extension of insurance among ladies indicates progress toward equality, the difference in the premiums charged proves the continued existence of inequality. It is not to be supposed that insurance offices aro influenced by sentiment in making a distinction, but are led to do so by the cold calculations of their actuaries. They hold that a woman's life is less certain in the married state than the man's, aud this conclusion is reflected iu their table of. premiums. The practice of the offices varies, but somo charge women os. additional per auuum for every £100 assured until they attain 50 years of age. No robate is made for the unmarried, the assumption being that almost every healthy girl will outer the wedded state. If tho number of women who go in for an independent vocation, however, increases materially it will only be fair to modify the rule, as tho risks represented by tho extra premium aro not then run by the insured. Tho fact that the additional levy of 10 per cent, or so is not made after 50 is an admission that tho sexes are under the sumo conditions when on equal terms. Indeed, tho female life is really hold to be the best, apart from tho period of spe cialrisk.

Taking the annuity table of the Scottish Widows' fund as an illustration, we find that tho rate of annuity per ccnt. is slightly greater on tho femalo life up to 34,* and then falls below the male lifo, the assumption being that having passed that period the woman's life is tho longer, and more annual pay ments will have to be made by the office. A fow comparative figures bring this out very

clearly:

Years ago one office quoted lower rates of premium for women than men, in the belief that all through tbe female life was the best, but their experience was against their theory and they gave it up. Tbe special risks leing passed, the woman's life is, however, admitted to be the best One circumstance which weighs with the offices in the distinctions they draw is this, that the medical advisers can speak with more certainty, from various causes, as to what is or is not a good life in the case of men than of women, and this, no doubt, is taken into consideration in that leveling system of averages which actuaries delight to work out.—Pall Mall Gazette.
