London Letter in N. Y. Times.

London Letter i'll N. !. Times.
The other day came upon new store
in the city. The windows were fairly
dazzling with color. A stray sunbeam
falling upon them, the shop front flashed
back rainbow of blue and green and red
and yellow, indigo and vermllion, lumber
and black and white. pauzed to gaze.
1t was a store devoted to the modern
fashion of adorning ladies' hats, bonnets,
and dresses with butterflies. All the cor
ners of the earth had been ransacked to
satisfy this new craze. Whole birds, birds
wings, tails, breasts, were here by the
thousand Butterflies and hummingbirds
We'd with each other in wealth of color
and beauty of arrangement. 1t is true
there are lots of stores in London devoted
to specimens of "natural history" where
these things may be purchased; but here
is shop full OF them, not as studies or
specimens, but as articles Of adornment.
Travellers and others tell me that bird

time all the other traders are increasing

The Art OF Talking.
Boston journal


If we notice closely we shall find that
the people who are the most popular in So
cial life are those who understand not only
how to talk themselves, but how to make
others talk.
This is very valuable. gift. To be able
so to direct conversation as not to display
your own knowledge, but to draw out the
opinions and quicken the thoughts of those
with whom you talk-this is an accomplish
ment indeed.
1t makes each contributor to the en-
joyment of all, it leaves each with pleas
ant sense of having said something which
others were glad to hear. This is very diff
ferent from the consciousness of having
been bored or snubbed-or both, which
lesser folks often carry away from the pres
ence of fluent and tyrannical takers.
There is good deal of this sort of con
versational missionary work waiting to be
done, and the time we spend in chatting
about the weather might be very proiitably
devoted to it, 1t should be borne in mind
that there is scarcely any one OF average
intelligence who can not, if he is properly
drawn out talk interestingly and instruct
lively about at least one thing-the thing
with which he is practically most familiar,
or which is connected with his regular
business or labor. Is your companion in
the car or on the street machinist, a
manufacturer, an artist, a builder, lead
the conversation around on the one
subject if there are no others, in which ne
is sure TO be Interested The result will
be that you will please him, and will gain
fresh knowledge yourself. Whoever talks
much thus with specialists upon their cho,
sen departments of labor or thought Will
get together fund of valuable iniorma'
ton, not to be learned from the books.

A Home for Bachelors.
Letter in Free Press.

Ietter IN Free ITesS'I
Some one has said that "home" is the
best word in the language. 1t is also the
most abused word. We have homes of
every kind. We have sailors homes, SOL
diers' homes, homes for old women, or
phans' homes, young womens' homes,
childrens' homes, railroad mems homes,
actors homes, homes for the aged, Ma
sons homes, Odd Fellows homes, tenn
perance homes and Oliver Wendell
Holmes, and by the way this Holmes
wrote Of the home for aged and decayed
punsters. Be it ever so numerous there
is nothing so multiplex as home.
One of the latest experiments in the
matter of homes was the Stewart attempt
to make a home for old maids. That
home failed. And every woman said she
knew it would. Spiteiul men said that
the women would rather bear the ills
they have at the boarding houses than
fy 10 others that they know not of in
their solitary prison. Evidently the wom-
en- that Stewart built his home for thought
il was not good for them to live alone.
4 Almost every class Of people have been
provided with home except bachelors,
and no one seems to have thought Of this
unfortunate brotherhood until Mr.. Sher-
wood, of New York, started this home
for bachcloas and artists--a veritble bach
elor's hall.
The building Will be seven stories high
made of brick and granite with iron trim
mings. There will be fifty-six suits OF
rooms, and each bachelor can suit his
own decorative taste in furnishing his
apartments.

A GIGANTIC ENTERPRISE.

Probably there is no one company or
business enterprise of such immense di-
mensions as the Krupp Gun Manufac-
tory of Germany. In these works there
are altogether employed about eighteen
thousand men. One single establish
ment employs $500 workmen. Engines
with an aggregate of 10000 horsepower
are in use, and, amongst other little
duties, they work II trip-hammers, vary
ing in weight from 200 pounds to so tons
each.
Within the past two years $4,000 can
non have been sent out on their mission oil

an average each month. The krupp
works cover large territory, in which
are several villages inhabited exclusively
bv employees and their families. A rail
road with twenty-five locomotives and
700 trucks and cars is in operation within
this district, Nhd connecting with the
nearest railway station. There are alst
twentyfour telegraph stations and eight
steam fire engines in the service OF thi'
gigantic company.

penitentiary for life. We say only, for
nothing but the execution of BufOru would
be a proper punishment for his crime. A
