Madge—What kind of a bathing suit will you wear at Narragansett this season ? Miss Prim—I shall wear a suit of the 1830 period. Madge—Really, and you've kept it all these years ? It is worth recalling, as Paderewski sails away with $175,000 or so in his inside pocket, that the`piaoist was unknown throe years ago, and at his first concert in London the receipts were only $50.—Boston Record.

With the exception of the so-called noble metals—gold, silver, platinum and a few others—all metals burn or absorb oxygen when heated sufficiently in the air. "'" Oranges and lemons are recommended as a proper article of food in cholera -infected regions, since the acid of the fruit kills the bacilli that find lodgment in the alimentary canal and cause the disease. The medicinal uses of lemons are manifold and physicians generally recognize their value. Mrs. Smith—And how is your neighbor ? Mrs. Brown—She's well enougb, I suppose. I haven't seen her to speak to for six weeks. Mrs. Smith—Why, I thought you were on the most friendly toms. Mrs. Brown— Well, we used to be ; but we've exchanged servants. "Is this strawberry shortcake?' said the man in the restaurant, pointing to some- thing that looked like a water cracker with three red warts on ib. "Yes," said the waiter.

The days of house-cleaning are nearly over. It is almost the middle of May, and the homes that have been in confusion for several weeks are once more in order. The wife inspects each room with satisfaction, while the husband softly whistles " Home, Sweet Home." Everything is in order, and peace and happiness once more prevail. Editor (to aspiring writer)—You should write so that the most ignorant can under- stand what you mean. .Aspirant—Well, what part of my paragraph don't you understand?

Handel, the splenetic German had an odd experience with one Janson, a printer with a good bass voice, who tried to sing in the " Messiah." Afterrepeated attempts and failures Handel cried out in broken English, "You scoundrel! tit you not dell me dat you could sing at asite ?" " Yes, sir," said the cheeky typo, " but nob at first sight." "There was dedicated on Tuesday last, at Northampton, Maes,," says the New York Recorder, a granite church costing $100,000, entirely built, furnished and given to Se. John's Episcopal parish by Georgi P. Bliss, of New York City, who is a native of Northampton. Mr. Bliss and thirty of hia New York and Philadelphia friends includ- ing hia partner, ex -Vice resident Morton,` attended the dedication." A New York firm is exhibiting its superb collection of furs preparatory to forwarding it to the World's Fair. The star of the collection is a mantle of imperial Russian liable tails, 931 of these appendages having been used' in its manufacture. It to valued at $17,500. Another mantle of seventy-nine sable skins will dost $6,800, and a third, with ninety-two sable skins and lined with royal ermine, is priced at $13,500. The total display will cost $200,000. The Bureau of Justiee, which was organ- ized by the labor mitosis of Cincinnati for the purpose of collecting wages from un• e l employers and otherwlae ro- scrupulous employ e p vMing legal std to workmen unable to engage lawyers, is now in its sixth year of exletenoe.

An Irishman, having been arraigned and convicted upon,full and unmistakable evi- dence of some flagrant misdemeanor, being asked by the judge if he. bad anything to say for himself, repplied, with the character- istic humor of his country, "Never a single word, your honor 1 And it'd my raat opinion there's been a great deal too mnob Meld as ib is." " Pa, dear," asked Mason and heir, "tell me what is the difference between an acci- dent and a misfortune ?" " Ya dear" gave it up. " Well," said his son and heir, " if my pressing Wier, Mr, Snipson, wero to -fall into a deep pond it would be an accident ; but if anyone were to pull him out it would be a misfortune." Do you know how you blush? The capillaries which connect the veins and arteries nem';particularly over the Omaha, a network so fine that a microscope ie neces- sary to reveal them. Ordinarily the ,blood passes through these vessels in normal volume, leaving the natural complexion. A sudden emotion, otion, however, increases the ac- tion of the heard, and the blood is forced through the veins in greater volume. Thia is a blush. In an Auckland (New Zealand) paper a girl advertises for a situation to take charge of a laundry or dairy. She can cook and understands housekeeping, and adds, ,f Nave but a respectable miabress who wishes to leave her servant in uninterrupted discharge of her duties need apply." What a competition there must be among the mistresses for the model servant ! Here is a mock milk bath that is almost as beneficial to the skin se pure milk. Make up a dozen or mom bags of cheese -cloth about a foot square. Fill them with oat- meal and pure white Castile. soap, shaved fine—two-thirds oatmeal and one-third soap. Add a little borax and some powdered orrfa- root, and tie up the begs securely. One bag in twelve gallons of water makes a delightfully refreshing bath and leaves the skin like velvet. A natural element by which the clty of Boise, Idaho, derives a great benefit is a great volume of hot water that gushes out of several deep artesiau wells. The water possesses no medicinal value, but a six-inch pipe has beed laid from the springs into the city, and hot water will be conducted into nearly every residence and business house in the city. The cost of heating with hot water is estimated to be 50 per cent. leas than coal. A well-known author once said : "It is not every man that can afford to wear a shabby coat ; and worldly wisdom dictates to her diaoipies the propriety of dressing somewhat beyond their means, but of living somewhat within them, for every one Bees how we dress, but none see how we live, except we choose to let them. But the traly great are by universal suffrage, ex- empted from these trammels, and may live or dress as they please." Rice is the food for about 54 per cent. of people who inhabit the earth, and when well cooked it is very good food. Accord- ing to a late report from the United States Department of Agrioulture a pound of rice contains 86.54 per cent, of nutritive matter, against 82.54 per cent. for wheat, 82.79 per cent. for rye, 74.02 per cent. for oats, 82 97 per cent. for corn, 23.24 per cent. for pota- toes, 46.03 per cent. for fat beef and 26.83 per cent. for lean beef. "Got any good roast beef, waiter?" "Yea, sir." "Bring me one of your best cuts. I want it tender, juicy, not too well done, not too raw, and with very little gravy. Have the fat and lean about equally divided, and be particular not to cut the slice thick, and don't forget the horseradish. Now, can you remember all that?" "Yes, sir." (Loudly) " Roast beef, one." To mend gloves, cut a strip off the top of a long glove and insert a morsel of it ander e. rip, attaching it with blind stitches to the sides of the aperture. This is done when the finger or the glove is small or short. Again, sew up the rip with cotton of the self -same color, nob with silk. But the best thing of all is the mending tissue. When heated it will attach itself closely to the in- side of the finger and tell no tales. He—Wasn't that the Countess of Mohair that just went by ? I thought you told me she was a friend of yours ? She—Oh, we meet occasionally and all that, but I've really been obliged to drop Lady Mohair, I'm sorry to say. He -Dear me, really 1 What for ? She—Oh, well, she always de- liberately turns her back on me when I try to speak to her and looks another way when I bow, or else coolly stares me in the face and takes no notioewhatever, so now I make I a point of cutting her dead ! Some idea of the eating and drinking done by political Englishmen may be gathered from the records of the past year in the Constitutional Club. There were Served 19,599 breakfasts, 78,169, luncheons, over 51,000 dinners, and 4,377 suppers. On the whole, the coffee -room account shows a good profit of several thousands of pounds, but the consumption of spirits, is wonderfully moderate (Sir Wilfrid Lawson will be glad to hear), nob in any way approaching the consumption of the National Liberal Club. At the recent meeting of the British Royal Botanical Society there was shown a specimen of the Laportea, or " burning tree" of India. Both leaves and stems of this plant are covered with stinging hairs, after the manner of the nettle, but of a far more virulent nature. When touched the sensation felt is as of being burned with red- hot iron, the pain extending over other parts of the body and lasting fora fortnight. Little or no mark is to be seen on the akin ; but for some time after, should cold water touch the part, the pain returns with all its original intensity. Among other things of which a philoso- phical authority says " Ib Never Pays 1" are the following ; To do wrong with the hope that good may come. To run in debt for luxuries. To send the children into the street to secure quiet in the parlor. To argue about religion with an unbeliever. To make profeaeions that we do not intend to live up to. To cherish a fault-finding spirit. To warm our hands at the devil's fire. To ridicule or criticize religious teachers before our children. 'Po joie a Church, that does nob requiresomething of us. Loan, the ao o appeared before the tr ss), pp public a few days ago in a pleasing prase- tation on board of the British warship Magioienne. "Billy," the pet goat and mascot of the ship, had pleaded the peo- ple during the parade by trotting wisely and malestioalty with his shipmates over the line, of march. Lobta visited the Magioienne and took with her a silver boll an a beautiful silver belt. It was ineeribed: "' Billy,' April 28th, 1893. From hid New York admirers." "Billy's" neck was clasped by Lotto,. Fortunate "Billy." A novel kind of swindle was practiced in a German town tbo other day. A man struggling along under a heavy burden suddenly stumbled and crashed 'through a plate glass store window: The proprietor of the store dbzntanded payment. The porter said he had no money.

The store- keeper, however, deducted a hundred marks) for the value of his window and handed nine hundred marks change to the porter, who went away swearing and protesting. A little later the storekeeper discovered that the thousand mark note was spurious.— New York Sun.

The conclusion arrived at is that the 115 resident members of the London Philatelic Society possess collections ref the total market valve of £125,000. The collections of mem- bers out of Great Britain are put, down at £100,000. This is about one.quarter of what romanoera give us an the correct figurate A literature party is an invention of a woman tired of drive whist and progressive euchre. It 1e arranged in the same wayas the latter, but the guests, who are carefully selected for the occasion, find at one table four sets of partially written quotations which they are required to fill out ; at another, names of books whose authors are inquired for ; another, 'muttony/xis to be assorted among the rightful people ; the last three respeetiveiy, for names of char- acters and places mentioned, and, at the head bible, of selected queries of a misceI- laneous character. The game is concluded when each one has visited every table and endeavored to answer every interrogation. The prizes were, on this occasion, finely bound books, and for the.boobiee, fools' caps of chamois for pen -wipers. Lemonade, especially- this summmer, should be made with boiling water and then allowed to cool before being iced. In foot, all the water used.for drinking, or for making any beverage, should be boiled. The instant it boils it must be poured off, or it will lose the gases wbich gave it a fresh, pleasant taste and become flat and tasteless. It must be poured into perfectly clean vessels, with tight -fitting covers, and kept in a cool spot till the next day, when it may be cooled still more, if desired, with ice. Now, the ice should nob be put into the water unless it bo the manufactured ice. which, having been boiled and filtered before freezing, is entirely free from living organisms. ;Freezing alone does not destroy diocese germs ; boiling does, so that it would be more prudent to use the manu- factured ice In water, tea and all other beverages. A Minnesota legislator is trying to have a law passed whioh will prohibit Chinamen " from wearing their shirts outside their trousers." He no doubt thinks that so much Chinese tea -gown en evidence, as writers of up-to-date English gracefully re- mark, shocks• our decency. And he maybe right. But doesn't it look like crowding the Chinese a little too much ? There is noth- ing offensive in the termination of a China - man's jumper. He likes to wear it loose in the breeze. It Is well that he does, for it helps to hide the dome of his Jennesa. Miller pants. This alone ought to save it from the oblivion of suffocation inside a pair of divided trousers. A law that aims to expose the entire ground -floor plan of a Cbinaman's pajamas ought to be as obnoxi- oils as one that would require Ward Mc- Allister to appear on the streets without brown spats or with the tail of his over- coat ruthlessly hidden away in the base- ment of his bifurcates. Grant Allen, in his endeavor to prove that women are not in the race, says that no woman was ever a discoverer. To this a clever woman answers that all her spare momenta are spent in finding things mislaid by the male members of her family. When Mrs. Columbus told her husband that he would find her father's charts and manuscripts in the right hand corner of the top drawer, dose any- body ny body believe he found them. Doubt - lees he came to the head of the stairs and ahouted over : "Come find them for me." Flammarion can find new planets, but he can't find his own spectacles. Stanley could find Livingstone, but who doubts that Mrs. Stanley finds his pencils and mislaid manu- scripts? Who can find so many virtues as a woman can find in her husband? Could he ever, unaided, find his own faults ? " And," concludes this lady, "if Mr. Allen has a wife doubtless she finds in him mom than any man ever could."

A Little t;bnpfeit on a Stbieot 01 18onaeetle lmyortanee. Every season brings with it -.-to the feminine mind, at least—a desire to go out and " shop," which process, of course, means a certain amount of money in the white, red or heliotrope purse which the woman of fashion now carries. If she has an allowance given her at the beginning of every month, she can by prudent fore- thought be provided with a sufficient sum to get all the little fixings she desiree, and on he s won't have to loo and plead p cad for anew bonnet or a spring gown, after the manner of many wives and daughters who have not their own pocket money, but who are com- pelled to ask for even a quarter with which to buy hairpins or candy. A man may be as generous as even the most extravagant woman could desire, but even to ask of him every time you want anything is not pleasant. There is some- thing in feminine nature that would rather economize on a certain stated amount, knowing that it is hers to do with as she desires, than to be allowed to run up large bills and yet not possess a half dollar that carC be squandered without question. Let every man from the very day of his marriage give his wife a suns that he can afford and which she will understand is to he her very own for her wardrobe and her various wants, and which ehe can either spend on the• first day that she gets it or make last until her next pay day. Their union founded on such a heels is certain to be a very much happier one than if she has to beg and coax for everything she neede while he sometimes will be thought mean if he cannot comply with her requests. Remember this, young couples just starting out in life ; remember, this, parents who desire to instil economy in your children, an allowance forwlvea and daughters is the surest method of establish- ing a sound financialunderstanding and will add ten -fold to your domestic happiness. —Boston Record.

The ladies of Paris are about to found a' female Masonic lodge, Defeated in their ' attempts to obtain seats in the Legislature, in the Academy, and in the municipal coun- cils, they have determined to resort to Free- masonry, their object being, eo they an- nounced, to " regenerate" this seoular institution, to endow it with more "life" • and " fraternity," and above all to drive all politicians out of the temple. The ladies announce that they do not intend to follow the example of the male lodges with respect to mysteries and theatrical ceremonies, and intend to remain content with the trimes- trial and annual passwords.
