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. Tho large loom next to
Mo Arthur's drug store, is now in tho bunds

Holossy KllralfyV "Water Queen" Is noth
ing but n variety show with brilliant settings,
'lite 'modest' gentlemen who took ladles' to
jho "Water Queen" but went alono to see
J' La Hello Creolo" should havo luversod tho

dancing" lu tho "Water Queen." 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. Such things must necessarily

i dnlster who happened to witness tho ballet
diiiiclng of Monday evening and did not diw
ifouucu It ns Immoinl wuld show tho do
ifrnvity of his own heart. Kiin a theatrical
standpoint Ctluio were a few t,ood features
nlMiut the play, if suchii conglomerate hash
Is. deserving the dignity of being called ir
'"play." The prinu pal good fentuies wero
thescenory and the featsof the Juggler. The
iirvant of the knight and the girl enamored
ofhlni wero excellent, pnrtlculaily In their
songs nnd dances. 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. The sir knight was u
groat hulk of flesh without grnce, dignity,
beauty or presence. Ho appeared as though
ho would lather bu eating roast beef than
