The Testimony of Those Il<-re Quoted Fa-
vors the Men—Wluit iSoine Ladies Have
to Say on tlse Subject—Discotiraglug Ex-
perience* WitU Women (im !StS.
A bachelor said in my presence a your
or two ago: "Women urn not by nature
or habit so cleiut or orderly as men or
so delicate in their ideas of'small mat-
ters."
I combated the assertion, with indig-
nant protests, and assured the speaker
that only a disappointed bachelor, whom
some woman's perfidy had soured, conld
make such a statement.
Nevertheless I set about studying the
habits of the sexes in those respects, and
I began to question poople^vho had wide
opportunities of judging such matters,
and the result has not been wholly com-
plimentary to my sisters.
First, I noticed the dress of mou and
women in public conveyances. It is
rarely indeed one sees a man, with any
claims to respectable attire, who dis-
plays soiled collar, cuffs or shirt front.
But I have observed soiled laces about
the neck of many an otherwise richly
and fashionably attired woman, and
soiled white gloves aro woefully in evi-
dence and ruin scores of handsome toi-
lets.
I do not think I have ever seen fringes
or tatters about the ankles of a man.
It seems to bo an understood law
among the most ordinary types of re-
spectable men that the first raveled seam
or ripped lining shall be attended to by
the tailor beforo tho garment is worn
again. But women who carry fortunes
upon their backs display torn flounces
and ragged laces frequently on the street
crossings or in alighting from vehioles.
Only a few weeks ago I walked be-
hind a young lady in a prominent New
York avenue and admired the perfect
fit of her brand new promenade costume
and the exquisite details, which exhib-
ited excellent taste and judgment of the
wearer or her modiste. Hat, gloves,
gown and wrap and veil were in har-
mony. But suddenly there came a mud-
dy crossing. Tho lady lifted her dress
and showed a charming foot elegantly
booted; but, alas, above it a silk petti-
coat, with three rags hanging from it.
The harmony was ruined by a discord.
Just as I was about to emerge from a
Turkish hath establishment one day a
young woman who speaks three lan-
guages fluently and who belongs to a
rich and influential family entered and
tossed off an expensive cloak, display-
ing a faded silk waist which was out at
tho elbows and badly soiled about the
neck. Her skirt was trim and modish,
her cloak and bonnet irreproachable,
but tho waist she wore was inexcusably
shabby. I could not help but wonder if
she had appeared in this garment at the
breakfast table.
Perhaps in similar intimacy men may
see similar untidiness among members
of their own sex, but I doubt it.
On the other hand, where is the wo-
man who could endure for ten minutes
the filth of a "smoking car" in which
refined men pass hours ? The recollection
of passing through one by accident to
reach a parlor car is sufficient to un-
nerve the average woman.
Talking with a lady who has a large
country home, where she entertains ex-
tensively, I asked her opinion on this
subject. She gave it as follws:
"I wnf tell you our experience," she
said, "which, I fear, is not a solitary
one. It so happened that two young la-
dies and two young gentlemen had been
passing a week under my roof, and tho
morning of their departure my house-
keeper was ill, and I went in person to
superintend tho cleaning of the rooms
which they had occupied.
"Tho young ladies, mind you, had
been reared in homes of culture and
learning and were to all appearance
dainty and refined specimens of their
sox. Yet this was the condition of the
rooms which they had occupied for a
week:
"The handsome dresser cloth was
stained and spattered by toilet croams
and washes. A box of face powder had
beeu overturned on the velvet carpet,
and the print of a small slipper toe had
tracked it about the room. A large, un-
sightly roll of mixed blond and brunette
'combings' protruded from a pasteboard
receptacle like a last year's bird nest.
Three toilet bottles were minus their
stoppers. Four cambric handkerchiefs
and one gl ve were found under the
bed, and in the sweepings of tho room
were discovered 87 dresspins, four hat-
pins and two laeepins containing jew-
els.
"When the room just vacated by the
men was investigated, the only souve-
nirs remaining were two half burned
cigars, a small heap of cigar ashes ou
the mantelpiece and one quill toothpick
011 the floor.
" 'Sure, and I'd rather clean up after
tin gintlemen than one lady any day,'
remarked my servant, and in view of
the contrast between the two rooms I
could not rebuke her."
Another hostess nrhom I consulted on
this subject said: "I do not know that
I have found men guests neater than
women, but I have found them more
delicate minded in regard to many mat-
ters. For instance, the seemingly beat
bred girl* and the richest are often ex-
•■naii m am era.
j-iicy wm oorrowa wrap rrom a ny.ste.ss
when they have mislaid their own or it
is inaccessible, and they will leave this
garment on a veranda chair or in a boat
with a reckless disregard of conse-
quences. ''
Another lady said: "I think men bathe
much more than women do and are
more particular about the details of
their clothing and dress. I think it is
more than balanced by many of their
unclean habits — smoking, chewing,
drinking and tho like. In fact, I think
men are internally less clean and ox-
ternally cleaner than women."—Ella

"Bumpus," said tho realistic nov-
elist to his intimate friend, "you
once said there wras nothing in tho
world you would not do for nio."
"Well, I meant it," said Bumpus.
"I love you liko a brother."
"Then you can help me with my
novel," said tho writer. "I have a
scene wherein tho villain takes poi-
son and drops writhing to tho floor.
Now, I've really nover seen anybody
take poison and drop writhing to
tho floor, and unless you'll do it I'll
have to go back on my principles
and draw on my imagination. Will
you take on the job?"—-Bost(5n Trav-
eller.
HE WON HIS BET.
Mark Twain's Story of the Old Salt Who
"Dined With the Governor."
Mark Twain tolls the following
story, which he says was told him
by an old salt ho met once en routo
to Havana: Tho old salt, who was a
Nantucket fisherman and for many
years master of a craft of his own,
was reminiscing about the queer
characters and odd experiences he
had encountered first and last in his
day.
Shortly bofore tho Nantucketer
and Mark Twain came across each
other tho old captain, just home
from a long voyage, together with
the mate of his vessol, had gone up
to Boston to see the sights. Among
them they concluded to take a lunch-
eon at a swell hotol just to seo what
a swell hotel was like.
Aftor many meanderings they
fetchod up at tho Tremont House,and
got fairly seated at one of the tables
in tho main dining room. While they
were waiting for their best substi-
tute for plum duff they noticed that
a great deal of attention was being
paid to a gontleman who had just
como in accompanied by two ladies.
They wore so impressed by this that
tho captain asked his waiter who
tho important personage was, and
he learned that he was the governor
of Massachusetts.
When he named tho governor, tho
captain's memory was stirred, and,
with his seaman's love of dramatic
effects, ho turned to his mate and
"bet a fiver" that he'd go over and
shako hands with tho governor. Tho
mate bet a fiver ho "dassont." But
tho captain wasn't daunted. Ho add-
ed that he was ready to bet anothor
fivor that the govornor would not
only shako hands with him, but
would ask him to dinner. Tho mate
accepted this wager, ^oo, and the
captain "gave a hitch to his trou-
sers, which is a trick all seamen
larn," and got up.
In telling tlio story ho said ho al- j
most felt ready to loso his wager j
after ho started, but ho didn't want j
to mako a fool of himself, so ho I
went over to tho governor's tablo j
/md mado his best bow and said,
"How do you do?" Tho governor
said, "How do you do?" too, but
wont on to say that ho wasn't able
to place tho face and so on. Tho
captain had his pedigroo all ready.
It consisted of his own namo and the
name of his vessel.
Tho mate, who was looking on,
saw a change come over tho face of
tho governor, and waiters and all
were much surprised to seo tho stato
dignitary loavo his ohair at a step,
grasp the hand of the queer looking
old codger and shake it vigorously.
The captain was asked at ooco to
sit down and havo some luncheon,
but ho said he couldn't, as he'd left
hia mato ovor aft there. "Well, go
got your mato," said his oxcellency
There's room for all of us. If thero
isn't, we'll havo room made. Here,
waiter"—
Tlio upshot of it was that Iho first
lady in tho Bay stato and *r sis-
ter and his excellency tlio governor
and tho captain and his mate ato to-
gether in peaoo and harmony and a
flood of old time memories, and tho
mato lost his two fivers.
The governor was William E. Rus-
sell, Massachusetts' "boy" govern-
or, who filled tho executive chair for
three years.—New York Advertiser.
