NoXK but a woman could have done it — and with such perfect bang front too, although the coolest place in the "bus wasn't a degree under 85 ' at the time. She stopjied the 'Ims, loaded as it was inside and out with passengers, near a public-house, and, putting her two hundred-buttoned-gloved hand out, she gave the conductor a sovereign, and said, in a voice that told plainly its owner was accustomed to the best horse in the domestic team, "Boy, get down and go to that public-house and get change tor that sovereign." The boy hesitated, and was about to remonstrate, but a look into those determined eyes of the 200-button-holer was enough, and he sulkily ran off ; and, though the 'bus wasn't detained more than five or .six minutes and the uni'easonable males began to wax furious, she wasn't a bit angry, but counted her change calmly, and handed the fare to the conductor with a smiling face. Oh, decidedly they are "all that is lovely — bewitching to man." Capt. Khntzel has indignantly refused tlio request of the Academy of Sciences, begging 1 him to como to their next meeting and allow them to look at him through the immense mi.seroscope they have justiraported. They insist the plate of theinstmmeut is big enough for him to lie down on, ;uid wnntto swlmw ho would look, magnified four million. tiu}«w.
