Utility of Pictures.

The value of pictures, or rather their supe
riority over words as storytellers, is excellently
illustrated by a couple Of incidents which we
find related in foreign contemporary. In a
village in India, recently, it became necessary in
the course Of some engineering operations to
transport an enormous mass of metal, weighing
several hundred tons, from one point Of the town
question and as the engineers found themselves
unable to devise any process, they did the next
best thing, and wrote to other engineers in Eng
land who were constantly supervising work.
The latter, instead of writing out nice large
Greek letter formula and red ink quietly waited
until the next big piece of metal which they had
to transport offered favorable opportunity.
They then prepared camera and photographed
every step Of the operation, together with all the
tools and appurtenances, and forwarded the
prints from the negative to India These the
engineers in the far off country followed, and
with little difficulty accomplished their task.

merely lock of hair wrapped in the leaf of a
book. The jaior did not consider the souvenir
Important enough to be delivered, but e few days
after came similar enclosure, and yet another.
This aroused suspicion, and the Governor took
the matter in hand He examined the leaf of
the book. It was only that of common novel,
twenty lines on page. Then he studied the
hair, and noticed the small quantity of the gift.
Counting the hairs, he found them of unequal
length, and twenty-six in number, the same as
the lines of the page. Struck with the coinci-
dence, he laid the hairs along the line of the page
which they respectively reached, beginning at
the top with the smallest hair. After some trouble
he found that the end Of each hair pointed to
different letter, and hat these letters combined
formed slang sentence, which informed the
r risoner that his friends were on the watch, and
that the next time he left the prison to be ex.
amined. an attempt would be made to rescue
him. The Govern or laid his plans accordingly,
the attempt at rescue was made. but the rescuers
fell into their own trap. q

The Modest Reporter.

story Of Partisan reporter the pretext for a

fork:
:::We might call by name the reporter who, on
account OF his profession, is found everywhere

scandal to be told, or festival to be described.
Only this reporter likes to pretend that he goes
to these places by reason Of curiosity or invita-

word, he is ashamed OF his business, and breads
to betray it by taking out of his pocket as do his
brothers, the necessary notebook.

Paper Costume Parties.

A curious fancy has sprung up recently fol-
historical costume parties. Last Saturday
evening William Cullen Bryant gave one and
since then two others have been given. The
dresses for two of these parties were strictly
copied in satin, silver, gilt, velvet, tissue, and
brocade paper. The designs are first cut 10
thin paper muslin, and the paper carefully
pasted on; then they are put together, and
the trimmings and ornaments added like any
ordinary dress. Incroyable costumes, cos
tunes of the time of Francis l., Charles H.,
and Louis XIV, are the ones usually selected,
and are really striking and picturesque quite
as much SO as when made in real fabrics.
Trade in paper fashions has scarcely
hitherto risen to the rank of ordinary bust
ness. It represents no value in its stock,
and has therefore been generally considered
to require no capital and exert no influence.
But whatever mGy have been the cause in
times past, this is not true to-day, One
house alone has thousand agencies extend
ing ell over America, into Canada, Cuba, the
Sandwich Islands and Chill, and even over
the seas to Germany, Dublin, in Ireland. and
Glasgow, in Scotland. This same house
orders 5000 reams Of paper at time and
100000 of envelopes, in which the tissue
patterns are placed. Its commissions to one
agent alone amounted tor one week to $3.50.
