Caught In u 'rrap.

At Baden Baden French nobleman sat
at tho gambling table, and In mirror In
| front of HIM saw that tall, dark-faced
man was making suspicious movement
| towards his head.
| Tho Count did not start nor stare; but he
! kept an outlook upon the movements of
the man behind him. Soon he saw the
gleam of a knife-blade, and on the next
instant he felt the hand that cut away
valuable gem that adorned his hair. He
laid down another card-thcn looked at his
| hand-and then

Then he arose, and seeiug the man Just

said to HIM, blandly and most win

"Ah, Monsieur, will you be so kind, sit
you in my place just one moment, and
hold my cards, while I correct great

The thief could not refuse. He Ind not
thine to think-only to do as he had been
bidden, and he took the Counts cards, and
| sat down In his chair.
The nobleman then did what ho had to
do very quickly. He drew from the
breast-pocket Of his vest keen, sharp,
Droad-bladed Spanish dagger, and seiZing

The rascal was caught in a trap from
which lie could not escape. He knew that
n single movement of resistance would cost
him his car. He was powcrless to help
himself. Hc felt tho thumb and finger
tighten, and, In the mirror he could see
the sharp blade terribly near. And then
he took the diamond from his pocket, and
laid it upon the table. lie looked in the
mirror, and saw the knife lowered--then,
with leap that overthrow the chair,
sprang from beneath the Frcnchman's
hand, and made for the door.

Now Designs i'll Furniture,

The traditional parlor set is rarely seen
nowadays. Instead are sofa and two
large arm. chairs TO match, covered, say with
Pcrisianraw sllk while the rest of the room
is filled with odd picces-and s chair, an
embroidered chair or two, an eastern divan,
Moorish pouf, which is merely four cush
ions piled in u slender frame, and as many
fancy chairs Of gilt or ebony as may be
needed. The mantcl lambrequin, the cur
tans, and porticre match the sofa and arm
chairs, unless they are specimens of artistic
embroidery, in which case the foundation
must match tho prevailing tint of the room.
Fancy tables, with standards of gilt or eb-
ony, have the tops upholstered with plush
or raw silk either to match sets or as odd
pieces. These Same tables, covered with
cretonne Or mummy cloth, are much liked
for bedrooms. lndeed,> cretonne and
mummy cloth in cretonno designs play au
important part in house furnishing. A
favoritc idea is to furnish bed rooms through
out with these, having the the whole furni-
ture-bcd, chairs, dressing table, and small

An Irish Farm.


Imagine level country, with few
trees and no forests, cut up into very small
irregular fields by stone walls. 1t is of
such land that Irish farms are composed.
In most countries there is a great deal of
boggy, swampy land, from which tho
farmers cut peat, which serves them as
fuel. An Irish farmjs generally about as
large as an ordinary village green of New
York or New England, say from five to ff-
teen acres. In some districts farm of
ten acres is considered rather large, and it
is often the sole support of an immense
family-father, mother, ten children, and,
perhaps, an old grandmother. Boston
Common contains forty-elght acres Of
land, 1t would make six good-sized Irish
farms,s which would maintain fifty or sixty
human beings, half dozen cows, horse
or two, some donkeys and many pigs, be-
side paying about $500 hundred a year
to the landlord, and something to the
priest. In good seasons all this teeming
and swarming life can just be maintained.
But suppose crop failsl Suppose the
peat cannot be dricdl Then what2 Why,
hunger and starvation, of course. And re-
member there are no factories or other bus
mess TO fall back upon. If the crops fail
all Fails If the crops of New England
should be rs poor this year as they were in
Ireland last year 1t would be great ca
lamity, but very few persons would go
hungry on that account. The fisheries,
the shops, tho factories, commerce and
tho saving banks would 60 On about as us
ual, and the people would buy their food
from other States. Irish farms do not all
lie along high road, as with us. Farms
are behind farms; and great number of
them can only DO reached by donkey
path three or four feet wide. The fields
are dug, plowed, and many farmers have
no implements but spade, hoe and a
turf-cutter. and no vehicle except a small
donkcy-cart. The farmhouse is generally
one story high, and very often consists of
single large room, with. perhaps, q recess
for bed. 1t Is commonly built of stone,
with roof of thatch, but many Of the
houses arc made Of earth, with hard
floor Of homemade cement. In this one
room the dairy work Is done and all the
family live, the pig coming in and going
out as nc pieSscs. Are the people then mis-
erahle and degraded BY no means. When
the harvest Is good and the rent reasonable
they are among tho most cheerful people
IN Europe, and in all the world there Is not
a land whcro the women arc more modest
robust. The houses are generally clean
and neat. The people enjoy life 80 much
upon those little black, boggy farms that,
when they emigrate to America or Aus
tralia, they sometimes almost die Of home
sickness. In many instances poor Irish
girl among us never goes to bed for six
months, otter leaving home, without cry
Ing little for the old house of mud and
thatch and the old folks within it.

Electrical JeNvelry,

An invention is now used in Europe
which is curious and interesting. 1t is ap-
piled to jcwclry. Take, first of all, a breast
pin, consisting of death's-head, enameled,
with movable eyes of diamonds or rubics,
ard the lower jaw articulatcd. At tho
pleasure of the wcarer, by the means to be
described presently, 1t can be made to roll
ito eyes and chatter its gumlcss teeth. An
other pin is surmountcd by a small golden
drum, on which is seated on its tail little
rabbit, holding in its fore paws two drum
sticks, with which It beats q tattoo when
the electric current Is applied. a third is
an ornament for lady's hair, consisting of
a bird covered all over with diamond points,
which, on completing the circuit, tlutters
its wings, and produces n curious effect
One Of these was made for the Princess dc
Nletternich. But the curious part of the
invention is the battery by which these OBJ
jccts are put in motion. Each of them is
attached to al invisible wire, easily con-
ccaed In the garments or the hair, the other
end Of which is connected with q minute
battery This apparatus is not bigger than
pcncil-casc, and can be easily carried un-
seen in tho waistcoat pocket. 1t consists
of tube hermetically sealed, containing
in the upper half O pile composed of zinc
and carbon inclosed in case Of hardened
india-rubber (cbonitc). The zinc and the
carbon only occupy the upper portion of
the tube, the lower containing the exciting
liquid. so long rs tho tube is kept in a
perpendicular position, the pile Is not
reached by the liquid, and consequently no
action takes place; but the moment it Is
placed horizontally, the acid acts Gu tho
pile, md circuit ls established which sets
the movable parts In action. Thus tho
wearcr has only to vary the position Of tho

Make Housekespsrs OF Girls.

Among the matters affecting our wcll-be-
ing, the better fitting of our girls for their
entrance into the social and family world,
Is OF serious Importance. OF course, each
girl must be educated as thoroughly as
circumstances will permit. But when she
has became proficient In the usual femi-
nine accomplishments, Is that all the edu-
cation necessary to make her useful and
happy woman2 She desires home of her
own, and although her mother is 10th to
lose her from the home nest, sue cannot
deny hef the privilege of following her
mate, as the mother did before her. In
deed, 1t is considered an undesirable thing
by most mothers to have house full of
''old maids" But it is fact, in spite of
this feeling, that many mothers do not pre-
pare their daughters for happy marriages.
They neglect to teach them the conmonest
duties Of housekeeper, under tho mistak-
On idea, which they hold Of love and tender
ness, that thoy do not want their daughters
to have 80 hard a life as they have. So
they ignore tho truth that no one can place
herself at the head Of household without
taking on cares for which, If she has not
been properly educated, her lot will be all
the harder. Many young girls begin this
new home-life without even tho first ele-
mcnts of essential knowledge of what is re-
quircd of them. [ could tell of newly
made BRIDE, past thirty, though blooming
as girl, who thorough and popular
teacher in the city schools, takes higher
place in society, excels in fancy work, aud
is good scamstress; but who has no more
idea how u meal cf victuals is prepared
than bird of tho air. This may be all
we'll enough while she "boards," but the
time will como when she will wish her good
mother had taught her how to cook beef-
steak and make a pudding. Tho young
woman needs, too, to know how to fashion
and make garments for ordinary wear, for
we rarely find an average family in our
country communities that is able to hire all
the necessary cutting, fitting and sewing,
without seriously clipping it's resources for
other needs. One need not, in order to bo
thrifty and economical always be her dress
maker or her good mans tailor; for there
is often real economy in gotting these heavy
jobs off ones hands, thus leaving the wife
rcader aud stronger for the many duties
constantly arising, VIII ,ch no one else can
do 30 we'll. But the plain sewing can be
most neatly and savingly done ut home, I'M
dor the careful, instructive eye of the
''nouse-mother, oven though she has
good sewing machine, and can afford u
competent person to run 1t.
