Awful Mistakes.

An English gentleman of my acquaint.
ance was invited to gentleman s. din
ncr-party in New York, mt 3 o'clock, that
early hour having been adopted to suit
his convenience. He went, of course,
as he would have done in London, IL
frock coat and black cravat, but was em-
barrasscd by finding all others present
in evening dress. Such dress would not
be allowable in England at any company
not expected to extend through tho
evening. 1t is not allowable here at
afternoon receptions, though | observed
that it was SO used III some parts Of
America. Complaints are made that
certain eminent Englishmen have ap.
peared at companies in America without
evening dress, and i'll some cases, no
doubt, the complaints are just; but 1t is
possible that in other cases the Engllsh'
rson were pcrplexed about the American
hturs. Even 6 o'clock might be n very
dCbous hour for dinner to an English.
man, who is in the habit of dining ut y.
This may seem triiling matter, but the
respect due from the gentlemen of one
nation to those of another is no trlt1lng
matter. And, by the way, now that the
social sanctity Of the evening dress is
admitted, is it quite the right thing for
Americans to wear white cravats in the
morning, and along the streets? One
newly arrived from Europe might Won
der at the number of clergymcn in Amer

Piano Ornaments.

A correspondent of London paper
says: cit is often seen that, when
small piano is turned in the room,
table covered with pretty knick-knacks,
and perhaps vase with everergreens or
flowers, is pushed against it, and little
valance is fixed to the piano back above
the table, on which small pictures, minia-
lures, etc, are ARRANGED. Underneath
the table is either low jardmiere filled
with miniature evergreens, or some or
namental waste-paper basket or box. l
have seen japanese hand screens ar
ranged in slanting positions. Little cur, !I,
tains of velvet or satin looped back WIN
large bows to show alternate hounces OF
satin and coffee-colored coarse lace
underneath the table, attached to the
piano back, have pretty effect, and so
has mirror fitted to the back OF piano,
with wit an ornamental frame, and q jardin-
sirs containing flowers OF the base.

Old Shoes,

In the course of the investigation by
Mr.. Hills deputies, some singular IN
dustries were brought to light. 1t was
fonnd, for instance, that some use was
made of old Shoes but exactly what use
was hard to find out. Large numbers OF
old shoes were sold by rag pickers to
certain men who disposed of them at a
good price, 1t is well known that bits of
old leather makes the commercial article
known as Prussian blue, but onlya a few
firms manufacture it, and the new call
for old shoes was evidently for some
other purpose. In New York City and
Brooklyn about three million pairs of old
shoes are thrown away every year. For
merly old shoes were plentiful i'll the
cutters of certain neighborhoods; now it
appears that they are sought after as
choice prizes in the rag-pickers line
By dint of persevering industry, it was
discovered that the old shoes We're used
for three purposes. First, all shoes, not
completely worn out, are patched,
creased, and after being otherwise re-
generated, sold to men who deal in such
wares. Some persons wear one shoe
much more than the other; these deal
ers find mates for shoes whose original
mates are past hope. Secondly, the
shoes not worth patching up are cut into
pieces, the good bits are used for patch
ing other shoes, and the worthless bits,
the soles and cracked "uppers, are con-
verted into Jamaica rum by n process
known only to the manufacturers. 1t
is said that they are boiled in pure spir-
its, and allowed to stand for few weeks,
the product far surpassing the Jamaica
rum made with essence, burnt sugar,
and spirits. A gentleman who doubted
the truth of this statement stopped re-
Gently at o low grog shop in the neigh,
borhood of the factory spoken OF and
inquired if they had any rum from Old
shoes. "No," replied the barkeeper,
1--WE don't keep it much now; the drug
gists, who want pure article, all sell 1t,
and the price has gone up. But we have
had it, and we can get you some II
You want it." How many old shoes goes
to a gallon of rum could not be ascer-
famed -NcW York Post
