During the time ,when our jewel -
business wee ' under sail,' it
happened that one of the highest
noblemen in Sweden departed this
life. The body of the 'Count lay in
state arrayed in the Seraphim- order,
the cheeks slightly7tinted with car-
, .
mine, as was the fashon of adorning
the- l;odiete of persons, of his distill-
igufshed rank. Something of - the
giliiine 'Vern by ie;iiri life was con-
fearedbit in death.. But the Catlett
wore another and far more natural
• ornament, namely; a profusion of
hair, silvery white, and confined in
braid, according to the fashion of
the time of Gustavus III.; to whose
court the de,citased Count had be-
longed. On the burial_ day, just
• before thr ciositig of the coffin, this
hair Was removed to be distributed ,
in locks among relatives' end heirs.
Oa the, day following, orders for
not less than fourteen gold rings,
accompanied the braid to the jewel-
• er, who depositing the latter in a
drawer emong other valuables, went
to work immediately at inking the
rings. These, bertity with massive
gold, were soon reedy, when on re-
opening the drawer, judge of oar

braid missing. Wife, children and
servants were summoned, and a
thorough search instituted ; when
finally confession was made by a lit-

he lied taken the braid tierni the
drawer to play with, and when he

A cynical Anonyma writes to the
Cincinnati Commercial' as follow :
Sometimes it seems' to. Me that the
whole social life- of women is based
upon two ideas—aping and, envy.
The woman who lives in two little
back rooms up, stairs, apes and en-
vies 'the Woman who has a whole
house to herselfThe woman who
has a small house apes and envies
the woman with a large house, and
the woman with iargeehouse is in
a steady fever of fear and fretting
lest she be not recognized and visit-
ed by the woman whe has a stone -
front house and a -circus ehariot, with
a clown dressed up in ,buttons. .No
matter hOw high up a woman climbs
upon the social ladder, there is al-'
ways still some higher height which
• she ean't. scale, some other woman
over her head who looks down upon,
her, and gives her days and nights
of jealousand- headache. Not a
blessed woman of them all is happy '
and content in the soil wherein fate
has planted her, but must peek
spend her best time and strength ini
finntic efforts to pull herself up by
the roots and transplant herself
somewhere else. The snobs who
ride :circus chariots curl ,up their
noses at the • schoolmistresses, the
scheohnistresses look clown from in-
finite heights upon th.e clerks end
dressmakers, and the clerks and
dressmakets in turn pay it off upon
the kitchen girls. What nonsense,
what tomfoolery it -all is! Is a
,schoolmistress any better or higher
tip than a washerwoman? Not a
bit. And • ate not the tichoolTis-
tresses. and the washerwoman both
infinitely better -and higher up • than
tbe lady loafer? Yea, verily.
Women are the roost absurd crea-
tures, all Owing to 'the silly fancy
that it is ladylike to be a loafer: A
little time ago one of my sinall busy
housekeeper friends asked -a lady
loafer caller what bad become pf her
sister.
She goes down town every day
now,' said the lady loafer hesitat-
.
gly.-
she at work?' qtioth the house-
eeper. •
Well, ye—yes,' said the lady
afer, hesitatingly. -
What does She do r. asked my
iena. _
The lady loafer stammered and
cleadeoff painfully two or three
tries, and ,finally made a clear)
east of it, thusly:
She—shei—she has charge of the
inert:tinge-in 1a—dress making es-
blishment. She has nothing to do
th the dressmaking. She has
arge of the trimmings. It's not a.
mmon dress making establishment.

akers. She won't make a dress for
poorperson.'
Oh. glory! fan • me with a tab -1

all busy housekeeper.

ting herself to be highstocracy.'
e laurels ofthe lady loafers in the
CGS elariots are quite fad,ed and
thered after that. And yet, why

One-Rail Railways.
The importance of an extietnely
cheap system of railway, 'capable of
providing outlying districts with
better means of reaching the exist-
ing lines, and of facilitating transit
in towns, has long been recpOized
by engineers, and it appears that
such a system has now been devised.
