Anil ns If It were high treason, Suhl: "Neither rhyme nor reason Has It. And It's out of season." Which? The sonnet Or the bonnet? Maybe both. 'Tis n feeble Imitation Of u worthier creation, An aesthetic Innovation Of a soi.net Or u bonnet. This was hard. Both were put together neatly, Harmonizing very sweetly, But the critic crushed completely Not the bonnet Or the sonnet. But the bard. ?Sparo Momenta. STUDIED IN PAEIS. Thoro aro several places in Paris which advertise that tho persons who go thore will be surrounded with all the salutary restraints and influences of homo lifo and that thcro will bo whole? some discipline to safeguard tho young women from all tho allurements and entanglements of tho French capital. One of these homes was selected by Mrs. Jones for her daughter, partly be? cause of tho prospectus and partly be causo Mrs. Jones' friend, Mrs. Smith, had sent her daughter to tho homo and was loud in her praises of the advan? tages Miss Smith had derived. So Miss Jones went to this homo on tho Rue dc la Pompe and prepared for ix long course of study which was to fit her for a career on tho grand opera stage. Tho work went on satisfactorily at tho start. But Miss Jones is an American girl, with all the vivacity aud attractiveness which arc popularly sup? posed to bo attributes of theso girls. Tho life in tho homo had not been par? ticular! y pleasing to her in prospect, but she sonn found that tho reality was a great deal different from what had been advertised. Sho discovered first that apparently tho greatest delicacy tho French managers of the institution thought of was niuftou?principally nged mutton. Tho result of this was that the girls wcro in the habit of go- | ing short of meals at tho homo nud finding bettor ones for themselves in nearby restaurants. The knowledge that U1P3- could go out to these restaurants for thoir meals without restraint and Without comment from the managers of the home led very quickly to a scries of practical deceptions. If it was easy to go to a restaurant for a meal, it was just as easy to go soniewhcro elso for something else. Everybody who is studyiug any art in Paris quickly becomes acquainted with a lot of other peoplo who aro studying tho sumo art or another. Ev? ery singing master gives his nmsicales, every master of diuwing, painting and sculpture gives Iiis little receptions. Tho pupils meet, and it is impossible to prevent the young American women from meeting and becoming more or less well acquainted with various young and attractive men of urtistic tempera? ment who uro ulso studyiug under Paris masters. That thing happened verj' quickly in the cuso of Miss Jones. She found that her friend, Miss sjmith, hud already formed some pleasing acquaint? ances, and, ns Miss Smith's iutimute chum, she almost immediately met tho young man whoso acquaintance finally sent her back to New York. Miss Jones was particularly attract? ive. There was 0110 young man among those to whom Miss Smith introdticed her who, Miss Jones noticed, was par? ticularly attractive to Miss Smith. Now this young man was tho host of the lot, and his nanio was near enough to Arbuthnot to lot it go at that. Miss Jones fancied Mr. Arbuthnot herself. Mr. Arbuthnot was very well acquaint? ed with all tho things in Paris which aro worth seeing and with some things to which women who have gone from a homo where they arc surrounded "with all tho restraints and safeguards of homo life" wcro not supposed to be in? troduced. Air. Arbuthnot also had a friend, Mr. Williuius, who was vary Well versed in tho ways of Paris, and between them they contrived to make tho winter very entertaining, if a littlu hectic, for Miss Smith und her attract? ive friend, Miss Jones. Tho conquest of Mr. Arbuthnot by Miss Jones proceeded gradually but very steadily, until early in tho new year it produced almost nn open rupture between Miss Jones and Miss Smith. The quarrel interrupted rather seriously tho gay course which the. four had been pursuing, but it did not put a stop to it entirely. It was easy enough for each of the. girls to associate with herself other young women who wore living at the institution oil the Rue de la Pom hp and so to make no serious break in their round of gaycticti. By the middlo of February tho an? nexation of Mr. Arbuthnot to Miss Jones was so complete that tho warfare was conduct) rl in the open. Tho wholo institution 1 .1 tho Rue de la Pompo knew about H, and tho girls wagered gloves and candy on tho outcome. As loug us tho warfare was conducted in the open Miss Jones maintained her ascendancy rather easily, largely bp cause of hor superior attractiveness. So the wily Miss Smith resorted to subter? fuge and Btrutegy. One morning in March Mrs. Jones in New York received i cable message from Paris. It said: Amelia ill. Doctor thinks better conio. Ha uk. "Babe" was tho nickname of Miss Jones' once iutimute friend, Miss Smith* Mrs. Joins Mas shocked almost into nervous prostration. Mrs. Jones sent word posthaste to her daughter's guards ian, who is a physician. Tho doctor told Mrs. Jones to cable at onco for tho Bymptbins of Amelia's illness and to prepare to >-'ait for l\iii> the nest day. Mrs. Jones cabled as 1 h<? <ii clor had di i'Coted and received this reply: Symptoms Impossible. Doctor Hayscomo at once. Botter take steamer tomorrow. Ba in:. This cablegram frightened Mrs. .Jones moro than over. The doctor guardian was inclined to regard tho message in tho same light. Bnt he still insisted on knowing the syinptouiB. So thoy oabled again a peremptory demand for symp? toms and meanwhile pushei prepara? tions for Mrs. Jones' departure. Just as Mrs. Jones was leaving her hpus0 tho next morning to go to tho steumer the roply to her second cable was hand? ed to her. It said: Advanced Btago tuberculosis. Both mngd ; ho|k>les?ly nttcutcdL Condition serious. Como at ouce. Baub. Oji reading this message Mrs. Jones nearly collapsed. Tho doctor ejaculated a large, vehement exclamation and de? clared that the Paris doctor who had made the diagnosis was an eternal and everlasting and utterly blanked blank? ed idiot. He had seeu Miss Jones him? self and had examined her thoroughly before sho sailed, and there was not the slightest symptom of affectiou of the lungs at that timo, and it was absolute? ly impossible for tuberculosis to roach nn advanced stago in the time in which sho had bceu abroad. He was half iu i clined to suspect that there wns some? thing wrong in tho cablegram, but thcro was no timo then to go behind tho re? turns, and tho only thing to do was for Mrs. Jones to go on. Mrs. Jones suid that she never in her life had such a voyngo as that trip was. Tho weather was just us rough us March could make it, but Mrs. Jones did not suffer a minute from seasickness. If sho could only havo been thoroughly sea? sick, sho said, it might havo relieved her a little from tho. agony und sus? pense which sho endured. Sho got into Southampton nearly a day late. The first thing Mrs. Jones beard when tho ship reached her dock "was her own name bawled lustily by a man who had just come on deck. It was another tele? gram, and it took nil tho strength and grit sho had to open it. Sho confidently expected to read that her daughter wns dead, but instead sho read: Amelia much hotter. Will meet you at the station with n rod ribbon in my left button? hole. Williams. "Now, who," said Mrs. Jones to her? self, "is Williams?" Williams had never appeared in the proceedings before. Sho had never heard of him in any letters from her daughter, but sho supposed, of course, that he was some attache of tho institution where her daughter was living. Sho hurried across to Paris and got there lute in tho evening. Williams met her all right and assured her that her daughter was really quite comfortable. They drove out to the home on the Rne do la Pompo as fast as the cabman could go and got there just iu time to meet Miss Jones coming hoiuo from tho opera with Mr. Arbuthuot. There was a row?a good, fair, square, ablcbodied American row?and the managers of that institution heard for once what n plain spoken American woman wrapped up in her daughter thought about that way of conducting things. Of courso the whole thing camo out. Miss Jones had had a cold und had been in bed for a couple of days with it. Miss Smith had taken advantage of tho opportunity to scare Mrs. Jones nearly to death, having decided to brave the inevitable exposure because sho was sure of the result. Sho was not at all disap? pointed. Mrs. Jones declared that her daughter and sho had had enough of Paris and Parisian methods, and if Amelia wanted to study music any lon? ger, she could come straight homo and do it.?Sew York Sun. Pennsylvania Surnames. The United States offers peculiar in? terest iu this iield, owing to tho changes undergone by foreign names iu their new environment. Of courso New England names, being merely the trans? planting of English originals, offer on? ly tho interest of ordinary orthograph? ical and orthoopical valuations, but even here there are many phenomena which would well repay investigation. Tho richest field, however, of this sort is offered by Untch and (icrman sur? names, the former being found mainly in New York und tho latter iu Penn? sylvania. It is with tho latter that this paper has to do. During tho eighteenth century be? tween fiu.OOO and 100,000 Germans and Swiss settled in the southern counties of Pennsylvania. Their descendants to? day number hundreds of thousands. What has been tho fato of their names? Wo may assume, on a priori grounds, that scarcely 1 in 100 bus remained un? changed. When, how, on what princi? ple, were these changes made? Theso questions suggest exceedingly interest? ing problems to the investigator. At the beginning of the last century the law itself of Pennsylvania inter? fered, und all Germans who received a grunt of public lands wert* required to anglicize their names. Hut of courso tho most potent influence at work was the natural objection to the inconven? ience arising from having names which others could with difficulty spell or pro? nounce.?Lippincott's Magazine Professor Druinnioiicl'K Last Days. The lust days of Professor Drnmmond seem to havo been extremely pathetic. He was quite helpless and had to bo wheeled about in a bath chair. Only when visited by intimate friends and old colleagues did he manifest any ?^ his buoyant spirit and sparkling wit. His old friends, Professor Q. A. Smith and Dr. Stalker, wen- very attentivo to him. When the latter was leaving him on the Occasion of his last visit, Drum mend gave the doctor a portrait of him? self seated in the bath chair, under which he had written "The Descent of Man." Thopnthosof these words affect? ed tho doctor deeply.?Christian Com? monwealth. Led Astray. "Sad about that burglar. Ho told mo how his .career us a liuidi i.< d criminal began." "How was it?" "His wile used to send him to hunt ihiugs in her top bureau drawer."? y uicugo Tribune. What a wonder it is that some omen are so heedless about the things that con? cern them most They endure all sorts of pain and misery with care? lessness which i would never be possible if they [^W*-realized the consequences. Comparatively few women understand that when they neglect their health because they are too busy or overworked or their minds are Sfl ^Bfc^Wll' ta^cn "P with other fc-^f?TB^mllUl concerns, that they are ^ balancing on the edge of a fatal precipice. Any weakness or dis? ease of woman's special organism is no trifling matter. A woman who through indifference neglects these troubles is laying the foun? dation for life-long wretchedness, A modest woman naturally recoils from the mortifying ordeal of examinations and local treatment which doctors insist upon. But there is no necessity for any such re? pugnant alternative. Dr. Pjerce's Favorite Prescription cures these delicate complaints positively and completely. It is a medicine devised for this particular purpose by one of the most eminent of living specialists in woman's diseases. Dr. Pierce has been for nearly 30 years chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. During this time he has received fully ninety thousand letters from women who have been cured by the "Favorite Pre? scription." Some of these letters are printed by permission in one chapter of Dr. Pierce's great thousand-page book, "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser." It contains advice and suggestions for self treatment which every woman ought to read. More than half a million copies have been sold at Si.50 each. An absolutely free edition in paper covers will be sent for a limited time to anyone sending 21 one-cent stamps to pay the cost of mailing only.

In the deep forests along tho Amazon river in South America thero dwells one of tho oddest and laziest creatures in the world. It walks upside down. It rnroly, if ever, drinks and it is said to feel 110 pain. Tho animal is known us tho ni, from its peculiar piping cry, or the three toed sloth. The last name is very appropriate, for a lazier animal never lived. Often it takes less than 60 steps a day, and it will ho a month or more in going a mile. It is not neces? sary for it to go any faster, because it lives in the trees, and its food of leaves and soft twigs is always within easy reach. Sloths have three toes on each foot, and each too hears a strong hooked claw. When tho sloth moves, he simply hooks tho claws over a limb and crawls about from tree to tree. In this position ho can sleep hours at a time. When littlo sloth is born, it uses its mother for a hammock nntil it is big enough to climb for itself. The sloth grows to bo about two feet long. Its hair is wiry and coarse and it has no tail to speak of. Tho natives say that it cannot feel pain, and they provo what they say by showing how tho sloth will roll itself up and deliberately fall out of a tall tree in order to save climb? ing down.?Chicago Hecord. The Solar Parallax. It is not infrequently a matter of wonder with those not versed in all tho phenomena of astronomy that tho solar parallax c an bo got from Mars and Ve? nus, but not from Mercury or the sun itself. Astronomers explain this on very simple grounds?unmoly, that tho nearest approach of these bodies to tho earth is for Mars 33,874,000 miles, for Venus 23,604,000 miles, for Morcury 47,1)3"),000 miles, and for tho sun 91,230,000 miles. Consequently for us Mars and Venus have, very much larger parallaxes than Mercury or tho sun, and, of course, the larger tho parallax the easier it is to measure. But, fur? ther, even the largest of these parallax? es must bo determined within far less than one-tenth of u second of the truth, and while that degree of accuracy is possible in measuring short arcs it is quite unattainable in long ones. Hcnco onu of tho most essential conditions for tho successful measurement of parallax? es is the nbility to comparo tho placo of tho near body with that of a moro dis? tant ono situated in the samo region of the sky.?New York Sun.
