' ' - k ,i . Apropos fashionable fads slumming Car mencltn, et al tho English aristocracy can ietthe pace for poor plebeian American'. Only the other day a man with a noble title for n liandlo to his iiaiuo gave a twtrty and bod a sparring match in his ball room for tho entertainment of Ida guests, ladles ns well as gentlemen. Tho lord hud hired prize fighter for the occasion, and thoy held their bouts In a ring enclosed with silk ribbon. They wero stripped to the waist, and thus surrounded by applauding men nnd women of high degree they pummeled each other un til their noses bled and thclreyes weio black ed. There were half n dozen events of this sort. The ladles waved their fans and clap tied their daintily cloved hands, a far fiom recognizing the vulgar Incongruity of the display, they presented tho victors with bo quota and glasses of wlno. V Bpeaklmr of la gripo and its treatment, since the foregoing was written Sir Mortimer arnnvlllu, an eminent physician of London, Kngland, has raided the following: "Dr. Mortimer Granville bogs Chicago physicians to try live grains of camphor In twenty minims tincture of Idlono in a dram each of glycerine and syrup. Give frequently for In fluenza with strong meat juice. No nutipy reno." Regardless of the merits of tho pro scription, It Is somewhat remarkable that a physician should volunteer his advice, and fit is little short of astounding that an English physician should go to the trouble of cabling his gratuitous advico to America. Wo may have hopes for tho race yet. V We read aliout trusts of mauy kinds, but ono of the queerest Is just now being agitated. It Is proosed to form a combination on pa tent medicines. The manufacturers have an idea that tho publio nro not paying enough for their nostrums, because many retailers havo been selling the medicines at less than the advertbtd price. The big concerns have devised on Ingenious scheme. They propose to make the retail druggist pay them the re tail price. With each bottle will be a couion which the druggist is to tear off when ho sells the package, and preserve. At the end f every mouth or three mouths thmo cou ikus will bo redeemed for an agreed price, but Instead of sending them to the different manufacturei s, the druggist will Hud In the big cities a sort of a clearing house, where the whole lot will be cashed. The druggist will have to mako an aflldavlt that the goods wero sold for the full retail price, and In some of the larger cities the trusts will actu ally hire spotters to watch the retailers. The coupons will represent 20, 8!l or 60 percent of the price of the goods, and, as will readily be seen, that will be tho dtugglst's profit. If he cuts the price and Is too honest to swear to a lie ho will lose money, and besides tho trust will put his name on a blacklist. The doctors generally have a sort of a combination on fees, and to complete tho circle It U only nec essary for the colllu makers and the grave diggers to form a trust. There aie many curious Kaster customs in various parts of the world, but some of tnu quaintest survive In Kngland, where tho long national life has been favorable to tho an tlque. On Thursday preceding Easter seven-ty-t o old m n and Boventv-two old women Queen Victoria Is seventy-two years old gathied at Westminister Abbey and recciv ed a charity known as tho "royal maundy." Over :l,0(H) were distributed among them, and a certain proportion of ic was In silver ttenuie. This was in accordance with a cm torn hundreds of years old, and the old folks realize handsome sums by afterwards selling their pennies to curiosity huuteis. In Mad rid the queen of Spain on Holy Thursday snowed her humility by washing the foot of twelve old men and twelve old women In Vienna the emperor of Austria performed a similar service for twelve old men, and th empress would have served twelve old women in like manner bad she not been prevented by lllnes Instead, she sent the women gifts of clothing, food and money. At a famous old school In Ijnndon sixty boys attended a cer tain i-huicu on Good Fiiday and received each a' bag of raisins, one penny and one ,buu. At u certain church twenty-one wid ows each picked up a; new sixpence from a tomb in the church yard. This custom Is said to be 500 years old. Womanhood has many mysteries for man kind, but there is ono that causes me to mar vel much. Occasionally we ore visited by fe male minstrel and female variety companies and the advanco bills make the boards blos som ulth pictures of women in abbreviated appure), low necked und sklrtless. The lui pressloi. they convey Is that the entertain ineiit will tifford an exhibition of the femi nine foi m divino altogether too generous and publio to be proper. Ro strong Is this im pression that respectable women do not at tend such performances. Now the marvel ous thing about the matter Is this: Young ladloa of the highest respectability anl un doubtedly as puro and lovely a any of their sex In the community will discuss the doubt ful entertainment with young men friends In ashoeklugry free manner. They not only joke the young men on having attended the twrformunce, but the spirit of the whole thing i lu fie assumption that such gentle men have don't something naughty if not wicked. One might understand an occasion al reference to such a matter and excuse It as a slip of the COrigWof of the memory, but so many' df the s'weei'uiaidens persist in inukiii; it the main toplo of conversation thioughnut an evening. If Ic is Impinner to attend such n entertainment onumUht suppose It woul I be in If Urate at least tu relur to it f rrquenil in a mixed coniauy. And if it wei e so very naughty one might expeit the young women who so carefully guard their imputations from the sllghtest.br.iath of tii Iclon would look upon the naughty young men askance Instead of toddling their tttaitly vanity. Yts wontoti are a queer lot, but how ilo you ox jilnln the paradox! Hev, T. DeWItt Talmnge, whose famous sermons are a regular feature of The Couuikh, has a new lecturo that his admirers will bo Interested in. Its title is "ThoBcionco of Good Cheer." Among many good things he says: "It is tho duty of man to l)u merry and Joyous. Laughter Is the iMiiacea for nearly all ills. Take a man who appreciates funny things, and sound him and you will find him a model citizen. 1'coplo who set) only tha dark sldo of things never smile not oven when tho clown cracks cob- webbed jokes at tho circus. Thoy think It Is criminal to laugh or Joke. A mini's head may bo whitened by the frost of years, bu t his heart for nil of that, tuny bo as young and joyous as If he wero still in Ids teens. The man who grow sold gracefully does not ob ject to the sports ho himself enjoyed while lu his boyhood. To lilm tho world Is ns bright us It over was. The true way to enjoy life Is to mingle lu and p'trtako of tho pleasures of this world ns they come, for a merry 'heart doetli more good than a barrel of medicine. When a man feels blue and dissatisfied, he should recall all tho pleasant ami amusing incidents that ever befell him, nnd thus cheer up his drooping spirits." And Mr. Talmagi) has put n great deal of wisdom and philosophy into u nutshell. . A great deal of uumeilted criticism lias lieen hurled nt Nebraska tiecauso of tho sup posed crauklsm of tho majority" In tho legis lature, but that body has been mild lu com parison with somo others. Why, look nt Connecticut, tho land of steady habits. The house of representatives has adjourned until November without appropriating a dollar to run tho state after July 1st. Hut then tho little nutmegstatu Is of such small importance that tho didoes of its legislature cut no great figure in the news of tho day. When Ne braska undertakes reforms It Is of BUfllcient consequence to attract the attention of tho whole country. That's the difference. Senator Deck of Nebraska is a brother of United Stales Senator Hook of Kentucky Iloth aro mild of manner, but tho gentleman of tho blue grass country Is a mine of Infor mation. He is such nn encyclopedia that he can talk upon any subject that may be brought up. When tho republicans In the United States spring a matter upon which tho democrats are not postd, the latter al ways count on Senator Heck to tako Hid floor ami talk until some of their members slip out and post up. Congressman Aryan, who met mauy distinguished gentlemen while lu Washington a few weeks ago, says Heck's Information Is so vnrried and so readily at command that Ids party fellows never call on him in vain lu such an emergency. Last year when they did not know much about the disease, tho doctors gave tho public a great deal of advico through the press con cerning tho prevention nnd treatment of la gripiie. Tills year well, perhaps they are honest enough to admit that they do not know much about it. It doos soem, though, us If somo precaution should be taken to les sen tho deadly work of this offoction. He ports from nil the larger cities say the death rate has become alarming on account of it, and It almost makes ono doubt tho practical result's of that much vuuntcd science called medlclno. One should not for light cause snub the ac tive, business young men who press books and bananas, pawni and caramels In tho at tention of travelers by rail, because he may offend an embryonic millionaire, and what can cause a snuli-lovlng Americans greater remorse than the reflection than they have snubbed a man of a million. Ono of the train Imys who runs out of Lincoln on the It. & M. has saved eiough to buy two farms and several town lots, besides supporting his mother. Ho is an industrious, economical young fellow and fairly well on the road of fortune. Another of their euergetlu young men often makes fifty dollars a week in tho busy season of the year, and has a competen cy within his grasp if he will take care of his earnings. What a tendency there is to constantly create high-salaried offices for the benefit of hungry politicians! Every legislature makes one or more soft berths, which genera'ly fall to soma fellow who has already fed nt the publio crib. One bill passed by this legisla ture provides for seven new district judges at n salary of $'J,500 each and seven steno giaphers at (1,500 each. A Cooling HulOeot nnd a Nwuut Hue. There Is nothing that Lincoln needs so much at present to complete tho happiness of her eoplo as u line confectionary and ice cream establishment, and Tiik Couuikh Is happy to lie able to state to Its readers today that arraugmeiits are now blng made for the opening of just suchii lesoitnt '-HX1 south Eleventh street.

A truly modest lady would shrink from thu exhlbl- Ion of "high kicking" on Monday eveulmr. t Is truly n plt'y that so low an estimate Is laced on tho public taste by theattlcnl man agers that only language hut also actions tit for only the lowest dens should W presented In the broad glare of tho footlights and in u manner that clothes vice with ts'ituty and nt tiiictlveness.

Tho "Water Queen" had the stlir, mechanical gestures of n high school girl delivering her gi adtiat lug essay, '1 hi eo or four years training in elocution would not do her any harm.
