We had better not say anything about the “white coats” because “the evil that men do live after them.” During this busy season the writer does not have time to visit the different towns and discover the news, and if McCaffrey desires to be popular in Dry Creek’s affairs, they should now and then send a record of their proceedings.

Ilqt It Catos Oat After a Shaking Pp Id a Cur. la the very center of a crowded cable car stood a short but heavy roan, with a cinder in hiB eye, says the New York Tribune. Although the cinder evident 'y gave him serious annoyance, ho was good-natured about it and in spite of the fact that his fellow-passengers manifested the utmost indifference to his personal affairs, he bubbled over with information about that cinder Ills monologue was carried on in spas modic paragraphs and each paragraph terminated with the seutence: “I’ll get it out when I get home.” Wedged in next to the man with the cinder were two women, each with more bun dles than she could gracefully manage, Some of the bundles were long ones, and with the sudden starts and stop pages of the car those long bundles poked about with much freedom among the hats and bonnets worn by the oc cupants of the seats. An aristocratic looking woman, while clinging to a strap on the other side of the man with the cinder, dropped her eyeglasses on the floor and frantically endeavored to make an open space in the closely packed car in order that she might rescue them before they were trampled on. The gallantry rf *he man with the cinder in his eye was awakened on the instant. He, too, had be-ji grasping a strap, but he let go of it and stooped to pick up the glasses. Just then the ear, with a suddenness born of pure malevolence, stopped short. The heavy body of the stooping man was hurled violently against the two women with the bundles, knocking one into the laps of the passengers on one side of the car and dragging the other down upon his own prostrate form. Bundles flew in every direction, mingling with three or four hats which the general mix-up sent spinning into the air. The struggling women screamed and caught eagerly at anything within reach, whether it was a man’s necktie or a woman’s ostrich plumes, and in consequence there was quite an excit ing disturbance for a few seconds. The artistocratic woman’s glasses were trampled on and broken, and the crackle and crunching of the glass elicited from her some remarks more incisive than soothing. One of the fe male passengers into whose lap the heaviest bundle-carrier landed bump ed her head against the side of the car with so much force that she almost went into hysterics. While a compan ion was endeavoring to calm the injur ed woman the owners of the bundles raised their voices in loud lamentation over their inability to find the products of their shopping. Moanwhlle the car had started with a jerk and given its occupants another vigorous shaking up. Passengers who had been tumbled upon, handled and crumpled, were be ginning to show signs of temper. There was a lack of geniality in the car for a moment. The short, heavy man had managed to scramble to his feet and get hold of a strap. Just as the atmos phere of the car was beginning to get heavy with ugliness he beamed Joy ously upon bis fellow-passengers and exclalme£; “Blamed if that cinder ain’t out of my eye." PHILOSOPHICAL FRENCHMEN. Qlve the Impression of llelng the Hap pleat People In the World. The more nations I make the ac quaintance of, the more deeply con firmed I get in this conviction, that the Frenchman, with al! his faults and shortcomings, is the happiest man in the world, says the North American Review. Of course, the wealthy classes have everywhere found the way of en joying life, more or less; but to the observer of national characteristics these classes are uninteresting. Good society is good society everywhere. For a study, give me the masses of the people. And it is among the masses in France that, after all, I find the greatest amount of happiness. The Frenchman is a cheerful philosopher. He knows best of all how to live and enjoy life. Moderate in all his hab its, he partakes of all the good things that nature has placed at his disposal, without ever making a fool of himself. He understands temperance in the true acceptation of the word, which means, not total abstinence, but moderation. When you say that a country lias a temperate climate you do not mean that it has no climate at all; you mean that it has a climate that is neither too hot nor too cold. We have nc teetotalers, because we practically have no drunkards. A Frenchman would be as astonished to find that the law pre vented him from enjoying a glass of wine, because a few imbeciles use wine to get drunk with, as he would to find that the law forbade him to use knives in his quiet and peaceful home, be cause there are a few lunatics who use Knives to commit suicide with or till weir fellow creatures.
