Asscropwriscrrerce7ranerrzrx" thexpar ty who gets this egg t kindly corres- pond with Wm. Greviar'Brussels, as he is looking for a partner. She must be good lookiog." Month% rolled by, Fred went to the States, and the lucid tort was almost for- gotten, but the other day a letter, bearing the post mark of Glasgow, Scotland, Arai addressed to Wm. (J,e ar, came to' Brustede post office. He littledreamed that it - wai freighted with the all important mestage it contained. It said, in substance, "I write to tell you that the egg came into my possession, and being taken with the unique way of ad-vertising for a pertner, I write to let you know thut I received he As for my good loolie it would not do for me to say, but if you willeiend me your photo I will send mine in return end you cu judge for yourself, Yount Truly, Nellie Law." When Grewar got through reading the let- ter the boys said his heart flopped up and down like a ohurn dasher; the sensation of unutterable joy thrilid through him like a Spanish needle through tow linen pante and crept over him like young goats over a stable roof, but after a while he quieted down, and has since written to Mies Law, in it appropriate terms," as folks often say. " Billy " neglected to show us the reply, but it will likely suit 'eggsaotly,' If he strikes a millionaire in the Glasgow lassie he should give Fred a nice present.We might say for Miss Law's benefit that Mr. .Giewar is a good baker; a I crack base ball player; a No. 1 trombone manipulator ; fine base vocalist; good looking and will drive single or double. Any further infornts- tion will be cheerfully furnished. if the message had been written on a duck egg or even a gjoose egg we would not have wonder- ed but ust a common every day hen egg. It's wonderful. We would advise Mr. Tait to charge an admission fee to all youths wanting to pack eggs after this. The Huron Expositor, SEAFORTH, ONT.

TRANSPARENT LEATHERR1 3 •,; Shoes of Olass-Like Material May Soon Adorn .Our Peet. According to the Magasin Pittoresque transparent leather may Le manufactur- ed as follows : After the hair has been removed from the hide, the latter, tight- ly •stretched upon a frame, is ,rubbed with the following mixture . Glyoerole (26} B.) 1000 parte. Salicylic acid 2 parte. Picric acid 2 parts. . Boric acid 26 parts. Before the hide is absolutely dry it is placed in a room which the rays of the sun do not penetrate and is saturated with a solution of biclhromate of potash. When the hide is very dry', there is ap- plied to its surface an alcoholic solution 1 of tortoise shell, and a transparent aspect is thus oibtaiird. This leather is exceed- ingly, flexible'? It is used for the mann- facture of toilet articles, but there is nothing to prevent it from being wed for foot gear, and, perhaps with raucy stockings, shoes made of it would not prove unpleasing to the sight. They would at least have the advantage of originality. and break. It improves a wheel so much that it is perceptible to any rider. They can be furnished to fit any of the leading cycles. An improvement in bicycles which is apt to receive considerable attention during the ooming season is shown in the last out. It resembles the usual safety wheel, except the sprocket and chain gear tei the front wheel. The handle bars are extra long for leverage and curve far back. They run through tubes working on ball bearings. In front of the handle bar is a lever brazed in and connected -by a rod with a large sprocket attaolied by a ball bear- ing to a crown, fork. This sprocket is connected by a ohain to a small sprocket in the front wheel of the same size as that on the hub of the rear wheel. The front attachment is geared to 108, thus giving with the long handle bars great pnwer to the arm pressure. It is the invention of H; J. Bauer, an Elizabeth, N. J., dealer, who isalso a racing -man of some note. The wheel scored a victory in the fixst race in which it was ridden' the novice event at Freehold. Therider had never mounted it until a few minutes before the race. Mr. Bauer also states that on his invention . he has beaten his best times from 5 to 25 miles made on the single geared safety. He is also able to climb hills with an ease that has surpris- ed him.. Is the time to get your; Photos for Xmas.

We two are the Ise; my daughter, To set the table for two Where once we had plates for twenty, Is A iOSIOSAMO thin to do. But nay boys and girls are scattered, To the East and West afar, And he who was dearer than children Has passed through the gates ajar. I'm wanting my bairns for Thankegiving, I thought last night, as I lay Awake in my bed and watching For the breaking of the day. How my heart would leap in gladness If a letter should come this morn, To say that they could not leave as here To keep the least forlorn. - Samuel, my son in Alberta, Is a nch man, As I hear, And he'll never let want approach no, Save the wanting of him near; While Jack is in Manitoba, And Edward over the sea, And onlY my little Jessie, Is biding at home with we. , And I feel like poor Naomi When baek to her own she went, And they said, "1. this Naomi'!" She well knew what that meant. Inc staid, and the lads have wondered, And the time- that was swift to go When I was brisk and busy Is laggard and dull and slow. Oh 1 the happy time for a mother Is when her bairns are small, And into the nursery bed at night She gathers her darlings aU ; When the wee ones are about her, With gleeful noise and ory, And she hushes the tumult with a snail; Her brood beneath her eye. But a mother must bear her burden When her babes are bearded mese On 'change and in the army, Or ttorstchiox awa with a pen - In some banker's dusty office, As Martin is, no doubt— A mother rout bear her burden, And learn to do without.

FROM THE NEW YORK RECORDER. "What," asks a correspondent, "*0 the ight thing to do in the way of leaving cards hen calling upon a family 7" Well, there is some difference of opinion pon this subject. I believe we differ some - het front the usage of London sooiety, here young ladies have no cards of their wn and are always chaperoned. A married woman sends in her name if he lady of the house is et home; having ecu her, the visitor would leave two of her usband's cards on the hall table when de- arting ; one for the master and the other or the mistress of the house. It would be considered vulgar if she left erIefotfhehelradoywena. lied upon is "not at home," he lady calling leaves three cards, her own nd two of her husband's, for she ecoord- ng to etiquette, calls only upon thee mite ress of the house, while the husband'e cards re for master and mistress.

Turning down the end or corner of a card signifies that the ladies of the family are in- cluded in the call, I do net think this custom obtains much, but I believe that it is good form, and is certainly both convenient and sensible, the idea being, of course, to let one's friends know you have called, and the simpler the method by which the object is effected the better. There is so much useless fiummery that simplicity becomes elegance very often. Almoet every high elites stationer pub- lishes books tied , pamphlets on card etiquette, and if my correspondent does not find smooth sailing in society it would be wise to invest in a volume or so. —The Sootohmen of Stratford celebrated St. Andrew's Day by ia banquet at the Royal Hotel, in that chi.
