The evening W:1S well advanced when, after a finely rendered selec- tion fromthe opera of "Carmen," the last tableau, "The Elopement," announced. Florence suddenly :darted at the announcement, and instantly turn- ed her attention to the stage. Slowly the curtain went up, and in a moment It seemed to the girl as if every drop of her blood in her veins had turned to ice; its if she had been transformed into a. eta- tue of stone, for she could neither move nor breathe during the few seconds that elle gazed upon the pic- ture !before her.

Tbey put it through sieves, and. only after it has passed through them is it consiaered fit for mixing with the liquid material that turns it into "India" ink. Nobody out- sdie of the Chinamen in the secret knows'what this liquid substance is. I After it has been mixed it is kneaded for many hours and then ground fine twain in mortars, -which stand ,in water baths so that they shall not be the slightest change in the temperature. Then th'e stuff is shaped into the sticks that we know, and it is beaten with little hammers until each stick is perfect. After this the sticks are placed into wooden forms to harden. The forms have raised letters carved on them and these nripre.ss themselves on the sticks, making the trade marks which are fa- miliar to all users of India ink. • Even after the sticks are hard and ap- pear perfect. The Chinaman is eat sat- isfied. Each stick is -wrapped with fine silk paper and- then they are laid into a box. The spaces- between them are fill- ed with ashes obtained from rice straw. Every day the ashes are taken out and new ashes put in, until every bit of moisture has been extracted. Then 'the sticks are unwrapped again, brushed, rubbed and finally polished with a pol- isher made of agate. After that the India ink is considered ready for the market. -Louisville Cour- ier -Journal.

When the muff first came to us from France in the days of Charles Lea, black was decreed by the king to be the badge of the common people, and thecourt fol- lowers were restricted to the colors.' Muffs have gone through more. styles than it would seem possible to invent for such simple article of convenience. They have been long and narrow and. again large and "(mild.

Dr. liaylor, of Westminster, L, I., insists that there are no female an- gels in heaven. "Angels," he. says, "are strong and glorious creatures, ranking second to the Son of Clod, and doing His work." DrI Kaylor ought to know all about it, if anybody does; but, granting the correctness of his definition, why should it exelude female angels? Are there no "etrong end glorious creatures" mining women? Perhaps Dr. Jea,ylor has never happened to glance over the golf links. ."Strong and glorious creatures" -why, really, that comes nearer being the very definition of modern women. A woman lies to be strong and gloriotts nowadays •-r,lorious to enteli the shy and elusive modern man. strong to hold him after she has cauglht him. No doubt the Rev.
