He Found q BoWery Boy,

1t is related of Thackeray that, being
very desirous to see "Bowery boy" a
New York rough of twenty years ago,
he went with friend into the haunts
of that peculiar creature to look for one.
Very soon his companion pointed out to
him a genuine specimen, standing on
the corner of a street against lamp
post, red-shirted, black -trousered, soap
locked, shiny-hatted, with cigar in his
mouth elevated at an angle of forty We
degrees.
After contemplating him for few
moments, Thackeray said to his friend
that he would like to talk to the fellow,
and asked if he might do so.
" Surely" he was told; "go to him
ard ask him to direct you some where. -
Thereupon Thackeray approached,
and said, politely:
MY friend, I should like to go to"
such place.
Well" replied the Bowery boy. in
his peculiar tones, and without moving
anything but his lips, as he looked up
lazily at the tall, gray-haired novelist
well, sonny. you can go, if you won't
stay toe long"
Thackeray was satisfied.

How They Feed a Prima Donna.

This being the age of indiscretions, re-
marks the Pdrisidn, we are almost bound
to be indiscreet. For the benefit, there
fore, of future cantatrices we will reveal
la PATHS diet. When she wakes in the
morning she drinks cup of chocolate.
This habit is invariable. On days when
she has not to sing she eats heavily OF
underdone meat. She has, too, a strong
liking for certain garlic soup, which
has been invented especially for her by
an ingenious cook. On days when she
sings la Patti breakfasts at eleven on
eggs and meat. with Bordeaux wine and
seltzer water. This is the only serious
meal she eats until after the perform
ance, when she sups. On her singing
days la Patti does not dine. After break
fast she retires to her room and sleeps
for couple of hours. About four O'Clock
she dresses, takes a ride, then returns
home and practices at the piano for an
hour. Before going to the theater she
drinks clear consomme. This hygienic
system is scrupulously observed by la
Patti. We may add another detail. She
never opens her mouth until she has
taken her chocolate; then she tries her
voice by calling Caro-, her chambermaid
with all her might.

The Stevens Battery.

Speaking OF naval matters, writes q
New York correspondent, l notice the
approaching sale of the Stevens battery,
which is one of the strange features OF
this port. The building in which it is
enclosed, with the surrounding prem
ises, covers two acres, and as there is no
probability that it will ever be used its
demolition is now urged. The Stevens
family has become famous for its i'm
mense wealth, which is chiefly due to
the Hoboken property and the ferry,
both of which have become immensely
valuable. Old John Stevens was re-
markable inventor. He not only built
a steamboat almost contemporary with
Fulton's first effort, but he was our rail-
way pioneer. In 1926 he built small
railroad on his grounds and operated a
locomotive which made six miles an
hour. 1t was great curiosity, espe-
cially when he gave his opinion that a
railroad would soon be built from New
York to Buffalo. He lived to see his
locomotive in successful operation. His
son, Robert l.. Stevens, died in 1856,
aged sixty-eight. He was remarkable
inventor, at least in navigation, and
among his other creations was the above
mentioned iron battery. He began the
work in 1915, his plan being to con-
struct vessel which should be proof
against the heaviest shot. This work
he continued Till his death, but when
the rebellion began it was not accepted
by the department, and the improve
ments the age have rendered it really
worthless. Hence the mighty vessel in
which a quarter million has been ex-
pended will be taken to pieces and its
Tn. ol Ill s., 4
of work of genius becoming not only
utterly useless, but also an incumbrance,
and whose removal will be an item OF
heavy expense. The dimensions of this
enormous vessel are as follows: Length
AIS feet, breadth 4S feet, depth 80 feet.
She has ten boilers, eight driving engines
and nine subordinate engines. She
is built entirely of iron, with sharp bow
and stern, and her measurement as COM
pared with merchant vessels is $500
tons. Such is the monster which is to
be torn to pieces-a task almost as great
as it's construction.

Words of Wisdom,

Twenty men who believe what they
profess, and live as they believe, are
worth more than five hundred hypo-
critics to any good cause.
The more a man knows about any
subject the greater will be his charity
for and sympathy with views differing
from his own.
AS frost to the bud and blight to the
blossom, even such is sclf-interest to
friendship, for confidence cannot dwell
where Sc .tishness>is porter at the gate.
Our striving against nature is like
holding a weathercock with ones
hand as soon as the force is taken off
it veers again with the wind.
The richest endowments of the mind
are temperance, prudence and fortitude.
Prudence is a universal virtue, which
enters into the composition of all the
rest; and where she is not, fortitude
loses it name and nature.
Every feature is step to success
every detection of what is false directs
toward what is true; every trial ex-
hausts some tempting form of error.
Not only so. but scarcely any attempt is
entirely failure; scarcely any theory,
theresult of steady thoughts altogether
false; no tempting form-s without some
latent charm derived from truth.
A ship on the broad, boisterous, and
open ocean, needeth no pilot. But il
dare not venture alone on the placiC
bosom of little river, lest it be wrecked
by some hidden rock. Thus it is will
life. "Tis not in our open, exposed
deeds that we so much need the still
voice of the silent monitor, as in th,
J small, secret, everyday acts Of our life

Married ON a Sliding ScaIe

What proved quite an exciting event
in social circles occurred at the mar
riage of Miss Belle Chamberlin, of Bel
videre, and Mr.. John Gripp, of Bonus.
A large party had assembled at the resi-
dence of the mother of the bride to wit
ness the ceremony, when, as the bridal
party had taken their positions, and the
Rev. j. Whitehead, the officiating
clergyman, was about to commence the
service, the floor gave way and sank
about three feet, mixing bride, groom,
clergyman and spectators in one COM
mon mass. I'll lights were extingnished
fortunately without any damages, and
/ for few minutes confusion reigned
supreme. 1t was soon ascertained that
nobody was hurt, and no damage, ex-
cep. to the floor, sustained. The lights
were relighted, the bride and groom
Tgain took their positions, the guests
being by this time arranged on a sliding
scale, and the ceremony was conducted
without further interruption. Had there
been a cellar under the floor, the conse-
quences must have been disastrous
As it was, the affair is laughable.-

An Ode to Leap Year.

One year out OF four,
The girls " have the foor,"
And skip for the boys like chick sior dough;
While the bashful men wait,
For the choice of first mate,
And bless their dear selves that fate willed
so.
The elderly maiden,
With wrinkles laden,
Has now nice chance the question to pop
But pity the man,
Yop people who can,
Who is thus caught by n girl " on the hop"
The ugly old /" bach "
Sews on his last patch,
And can't see why his name isn't booked
For little wife
To cheer his life,
But he finds that the sweet one lesred lore
she looked.
So go ahead, girls,
And damage your curls,
In the faces of these who question this right;
Your chance to propose,
As far as it goes,
Is good; so improve it with all your might

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Fashion Notes,

Fashion Notes.
Beaded trimmings are in great vogue
Some of the new suits are flounced to
the waist.
Everything odd, everything quaint is
considered stylish.
The fashionable hat OF the summer
will be a broad-brimmed Tuscan straw.
Mercutio plumes and Prince of Wales
tips will be the feathers worn this sea-
son.
Jet fringes, passementerie and the
new blackberry buttons OF fine Jet are
used on rich black dresses.
For full-dress bodices a new cut is
coming in, viz, high on the shoulders
and en- c9u, back and front. 1t is not
becoming.
Polonaises are too useful to be set
aside, and are being resuscitated in Paris
as "over-dresses," often made with
paniers.
Black polka-dotted grenadines are
made up over black satin, and there are
very fine black cashmeres embroidered
with polka dots to be made up with
plain black cashmere.
Long scarfs of black twilled silk to be
worn in mourning are made double,
edged with black footing, and are shirred
a short distance from the ends to give
the effect of tassels.
Embroidery is invading all domains,
and only awaits the spring to blossom
in full splendor-embroider in silk or
| chenille, mixed with beads, embroidery
entirely of beads, in various colors, or
of one color only.
A narrow anticipating of dark red
satin is around the bottom of the skirt
of nearly all the French dresses, no mat
ter how light OF how dark the material
of the dress is; indeed, this gay finish
is seen rs frequently as were white lace
or muslin nalayeuses on dresses last
year.
Dark blue linen and navy blue Scotch
ginghams are made into short dresses
with striped claret- colored borders, or
else the gayest Turkish red calico with
palm-leaf figures is used for the cuffs,
collars, pockets, borders and for tull
guimpe, which is finished at the top
with frill.
Harper'S Bazar says that in New York
white petticoats are entirely abandoned.
and there are in preparation petticoats
of black foulard or Surah, trimmed with
narrow hounces which are edged with
white lace, or else with lace embroid-
cred with silk or wool in red, rose, blue
or orange.
Diagonal bands crossing the front of
the underskirt are favoritc way of ar
ranging beaded embroideries. Pearl
and satin beads are often mixed in these
bands, and the surface is usually quite
covered.
One of the new ways of making over
worn polonaises is to keep the upper
part unaltered, and to replace the lower
breadths by draperies of brocade stuff,
long enough to hide all of the underskirt
except the lounce.
Plain round skirts, simply stitched on
the lower edge, and surtout overdresses
opening in each seam below the waist,
are the coming style for travelling dresses.
Those who do not like them will wear
suits with the overskirt and jacket like
those in fashion last winter.
