Shall We Meet Again!

The following is one of the most brilliant
paragraphs ever written by the lamented
Geo. ID. Prentice: The fiat of death is mex
orable There is no appeal for relief from
that great law which dooms us to dust We
flourish and fade Us the leaves of the forest,
and the flowers that bloom, wither and fade
in day have no frazier hold upon life than
the mightiest monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps. Generations of
men will appear and disappear as the grass,
and the multitude that throng the world to-
day will disappear as footsteps Oh the shore.
Men seldom think of the great event of
death until the shadow falls across their own
pathway, hiding from their eyes the faces of
loved ones whose living smile was the sun
light of their existence. Death is the anita
gonist of life, and the thought of the tomb
is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not
want to 60 through the dark valley, although
its dark passage may lead to paradise; we
do not want to 60 down into damp graves,
even with princes for bed-fellOws. In the
beautiful drama of Ion the hope of immor-
tality, so eloquently uttered by the death
devoted Greek, finds deep response in every
thoughtful soul. When about to yield his
life sacrifice to fate, his Clemanthe asks if
they should meet again; to which he re-
spends: have asked that dreadful ques-
ton of the hills that look eternal-of the
clear streams that flow forever-of stars
among whose fields of azure my raised spirits
have walked in glory. All are dumb. But
as gaze on thy living face | feel that there
is something in love that mantles through
its beauty that cannot wholly perish. We
shall meet again, Clemanthc."

Paper Plates.

The latest application of paper is the adop-
tion of paper plates by some OF the great
restaurants in Berlin, Germany. The inno-
vation was first introduced during the sum-
mer of last year by the adventurous land
lord of much-frequented open-air restau-
rant Every customer who ordered bread
and butter, rolls, cake, buns or similar arti-
cles, had them served to him on 4 paper
plate, made of a light pdpier mdche, adorned
with handsome boarder in relief, and hav-
ing at first glance great similarity to por-
celain. Guests, walters and hosts were all
pleased with the novelty; it saved the wait
ers many deduction from their wages on
account of breakages, which the deftest and
cleverest of Kellners can scarcely avoid when
he handles hundreds Of pieces of crockery
during q single afternoon and evening. The
paper plates were SO cheap that the landlord
did not care to assert his ownership over
them, and his customers were allowed to
carry them away, like the pretty serriettes of
thin paper used in SO many restaurants in
Holland There was also n considerable
saving of the time lost and the chances of
accident incurred, in. the cleansing of the
earthenware pottery. The success of the
experiment has been so marked that the new
species Of plates is likely to be introduced
into greater number of restaurants.

Economy.

Say what you will, economy is one OF the
best home virtues. and one which is every
where needed. No matter if persons are rich
OF have large incomes, they should be econ
omical To waste is wicked. There are
better ways to spend money and goods than
to waste them 1t is the poorest use they
can be put to. Many people would be econ
omical if they knew how. 1t is art to prac-
tice economy To do it well one must know
the art All can have it if they will. 1t is
an arithmetical art. 1t is the conclusion of
numbers All must live. and ought to live
well, but how to live best at the least ex-
pense is the work Of figures to tell We
must count the cost of ways and means and
compare them. Many people use expensive
articles of food and dress when cheaper ones
would be in every way better and more ser
viceable Especially in regulating the table
expenses is there great want OF economys
A little useful information concerning the
qualities of food, the amount and kind of
nutrition matter they contain, the wants OF
the human system and the best way of cook
ing, would often save fully one-third and in
many instances half the expense. A wise
economy in table expenses is favorable to
health, and in this way saves time, drugs,
doctor bills, strength, flesh and
happiness The whole system OF greaslng
and preparing, and what is called enriching
food is expensive. unhealthy and useless.
Fat, oil, tallow, and oleaginous substances
can be put to better use than greasing food
and diseasng the digestive economy.

IMPROVEMENT in Gunnery.

Messrs. Krupp have succeeded in perfect
ing q process which will lead to a material
reduction in the expenditure on ordnance for
the German navy and army All the heav-
ier Krupp guns consist of steel body
strengthened by hoops, the 3O3centimeter
guns having three tiers of hoops, the 26-cen-
timetre and 24-centimetre two, and the re-
mainder one tier The interior Of the body,
or the bore of the gun, being the part sub
iected to the greatest wear and tear, becomes
rapidly worn out, and hitherto it has been
found necessary, after at the very most 900
rounds have been fired, to melt up the whole
gun on account of the damaged condition Of
the bore, although the outer parts of the
piece were practically as sound and good as
ever. Since the construction Of these outer
hoops is very costly, the idea occurred to one
of the members of the firm that it might be
possible to localize the melting operatiin !;
and this it has now been found possible to
accomplish by treating the body of the piece
with a cold-producing preparation of car
bonic acid, which contracts it to such an ex-
tent that the hoops, expanded at the same
time by the application of heat, can be easily
removed

The Romance of Lace.

The most recent improvement in the pro-
duction of lace, says a Paris correspondent
OF the Baltimore Bulletin, is the introduce
ton of shaded tints in the flowers and pat
terms, giving them the relief of q picture.
The effect is produced by varying the appli-
cation of the two stitches used in making
the howers-the 'tOlle," which forms the
