PAPER PLATES.

The latest application of paper is said to
be the adoption Of plates by some of the
great restaurants and cafes in Berlin. The
innovation was first introduced during the
Summer of last year by the enterprising
landlord of much-frequented open-air res
taurant. Every customer who ordered bread
and butter, rolls, cakes, buns, or similar
articles had them served to him on little
paper plate, made Of light papier mache,
adorned with pretty border in relief, and
having at the first glance q great similarity
to porcelain. Guests, walters, and host
were all pleased with the novelty; it saved
the walters many deduction from their
wages on account of breakage, which the
deftest and cleyerest can scarcely avoid
when he handles hundreds of pieces of
crockery every 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 serviettes
of thin paper used in SO many restaurants
In Holland.

FUN AS A MORAL FORCE.

Fun is as distinct moral force as prayer.
A good hearty, healthy laugh will clear the
'cobwebs out of the brain, renew the blood,
tone the nerves, and drive all thought of
committing fragrant wrong from the mind.
1t banishes worrying cares, and knits hui
mainly in common kindred Every mission
airy enterprise ought to provide amusement.
Preaching services, prayer meetings, Sun
day schools, philanthropic organizations, and
even charity well bestowed get no closer to
the hearts of the humble than do those who
induce them TO steal an hour away from ex.
acting toll to recuperate their energies and
renew their moral yigor by rational enjoy
ment. This done, and the work of getting
in communion with them is complete Laugh
with those who laugh as well as weep with
those who weep, and see if by contributing
to their mirth you cannot cause them to for
get sorrow and to stop thinking of the battle
of life long enough to realize that men and
women were made to be invigorated by fun,

FACTS ABOUT CHEWING GUM.
How u In Produced In Maine-Coilection
and Sale,


Forty thousand dollars worth Of chewing
gum is gathered in the State Of Maine every
year, according to the Providence journal
In Oxford county man makes il his
business to collect spruce gum. Every year
he buys from seven to nine tons. The gum
is found chiefly in the region about Umba-
gog Lake and about the Rangeley lakes. A
number of men do nothing else in the win
ter season except to collect gum. With
snow shoes, an axe and q sheboygan, Oh
which is packed the gum, they spend days
and nights in the woods. The clear, pure
Jumps of gum are sold in their native state,
the best bringing FL per pound. Gum not
Immediately understandable is refined by
peculiar process. Sieve-like boxes are COW
cred with spruce boughs, ON which is placed
the gum. Steam is introduced underneath.
The gum is melted, is strained through the
boughs, and passes into warm water where
it is kept from hardening until the packer
takes it out, draws it into sticks and wraps
it into tissue paper, when it is ready for
market. The gum meets with ready
sale. There is not a village, town, or city
in Maine where it is not in demand One
dealer last year sold 81, 200 worth. In the
large mill cities gum has free sale. In
Biddeford, Lewiston, Lawrence and Lowell,
the factory girls consume large quantities.
1t is said that in the lumber camps gum
is used as means of extending hospitality.
After meal time the host fills his own black
clay pipe and hands it to his guest Later,
clear Jumps of spruce gum are placed before
the visitor and he is asked to take a chew.
Maine produces $40, 900 worth of gum in a
year, some of which finds its way to this
market, from which it is distributed to the
various outlying factory villages, where, as
before stated, 1t is in good demand. Spruce
gum is adulterated, and those who adulter-
ate take the trouble to fashion the pieces of
gum TO appear like those taken in pure
state from the trees. The ingredient of adul-
teration is supposed to be the gum of the
pine tree.

THAT AWFUL LITTLE BOY.
How the Dreadful Infant Talked on the
Railroad Cars.

1t was in the cars. The ladies' were sit
ting together, busily engaged in converse
ton. On the seat facing them sat FIVE
year old boy. He had been looking out of
the window, apparently absorbed in the
moving panorama of the outside world.
Suddenly he turned from the window he
began searching about the car, exclaiming
in high, piping voice =
Mamma, which man is it that looks so
funny?"
"Sh." cautioned his mother. But the
boy was not to be hushed.
~ don't see the man with the bald head
and the funny red nose
The Ssh" was repeated. BY this time
the car was in litter, save and excepting
one elderly gentleman with very bald head
and very red nose. His eyes were rivited
upon his paper with fixedness that was
quite frightful Again the boy =
"Oh now | see him Hol what
bright nose What makes it so red, man.

Georgie!" shouted his mother, in a
stage whisper But George was not TO be
stopped.
"Mamma," he continued, "what made
you say he had lighthouse on his face?
don't see any lighthouse"
Again, George !" and this time with n
slight shake.
Once more the piping voice, the bald
headed passenger gazing at his paper more
iiercely than ever, and growing redder every
moment -
Mamma I don't think his head looks
like the State House dome It's shiny like
it, but isn't SO yaller."
While the litter went around again,
Georges mother whispered rapidly to the
boy and gave her hopeful box on each ear,
which seemed to partially divert his atten-
ton from the bald-headed passenger, but
not entirely. He cried once more through
his tears -
You said his nose was red as a beet,
mamma didn't soy nothing
Strange to say, the bald-headed passenger
didn't take any part in the suppressed
laughter that followed, but he put OH his
hat and had his nose in his paper, over
which he glared at the boy as though he
wanted to eat him. And yet wherein was
the boy to blame p Boston TRANSCRIPT.

THE VENETIAN LADY OF THE PERIOD.

A Venetian lady used to be gallant in
her youth and devout in her old age. She
is now neither one nor the other In educa-
ton she is inferior to German or English
charity-school girl. Any one who reads q
newspaper once week is spoken of as ana
donna motta Gotta. She is perhaps the most
inveterate gossip on the face of the globe.
Her tongue wags eternally, and can only
wag about the small talk of her native town,
for all beyond it is an unknown world to
her. Every afternoon she goes to the re-
ception of friend when she herself is hot
receiving Atthese receptions there are twenty
or thirty women and one or two stray men.
Each fresh arrival is handed around to be
kissed by the ladies', and when visitor goes
those who remain pick her to pieces as
crows do carbon. Strangers in this
they include even Italians who are not Ven-
etians-they regard with distrnst and dislike.
They are kind by way of being on friendly
terms with them, but behind their backs they
sheer and jeer at them. No matter how
long they have resided here, the line of de.
narration is kept up. As the Venetian
ladies talk patois among themselves, and
as many of them are unable to talk anything
else, they never get over feeling of awk-
wardness and constlaint with those whose
language is pure italian. When not at
home or visiting, the ladies' are seated onthe
piazza of st. Marc, where they meet the
men of their acquaintance and interchange
notes. = Venice Letter to London Nesos.

DANGEROUS SPORT.
Exciting Scenes ut "a Reni bull Fight In
Lisbon.


One of the passengers ON the Oeylon in
her pleasure trip around the world writes. to
the London Daily Neaos =

Spanish matadors, Frasquello, was to give
an exhibition of his skill, we went to the
number of fifteen, including one lady and
her husband, TO see bullfght After go.
ing through number of polite ceremonies
the bull fighters changed their gorgeous
cloaks for working ones, and one of the
picaderos took lance about four feet long
made of a slim piece of wood, covered with
colored paper and tipped with an inch and
a half of barbed steel, and bull was allow
ed to enter, which he did with q rush, and
without moments hesitation charged the
horseman, who dexterously avoided him,
and at the same time drove his lance into
the upper part of the bulls shoulder. After
three or four points had been successfully
driven in the horseman took small dart
eighteen inches long and again successfully
planted this in the bull Between the feats
of the horseman the matadors took off the
attention of the bull with their colored
cloaks, and after he became tired out and
lost courage from the want of success
in his charges, dozen trained bullocks were
turned into the arena and, surrounding the
bull, hustled him out of the gates to make
room for another. This time those ON foot
alone attacked the bull, and with the short
darts soon festooned his shoulder. The
placing of the darts looks very easy and is
managed by study of the manner of bulls
charge, which is always of the same kind.
The bull marks the object he wishes to de-
stroy, rushes toward it and stops Just in
front of it, and then losses mp his head
the matador steps back foot or
two just as the bull starts in his charge, and
as he stops leans forward between the horns
and fixes dart each side of the shoulder
and quickly withdraws before the bull
throws his head up. Sanchez took one bull
by himself, and after using the banderilla,
as the smallest lances are called, took a red
cloak in his nand and advanced toward the
bull, who, of course, made charge at it,
and Sanchez, by merely changing his posi-
ton from one foot to the other, keptar r,
bull charging around him, first on one side
then on the other. At each charge, as the
bull reached the cloak, he drew it away with
out letting him touch it. At length, as the
bull became tired, he took blunt sword,
with small pike at the end, and showed
how he would kill the bull if it were to be
done. Thirteen bulls were baited that af-
tenoon."

THE STORM AND THE STARS.

Twas afraid one night at sea;
Sc rolled the ship In cayernous waves,
From which came groans OF misery,
And shrieks, as when maniac raves.
rose, and to my portfolio chung,
Scarce hoping TO see aught but dark
Wild chaos, DER the waters dung,
Where leapt and fell our cracking ark.
But searching through the waste so drear,
saw sphinx-like cloud, whose head
All inly black, doomed DER us near,
AS mid the yawning CULTS We sped
And up, beyond the sphinx-like cloud,
I saw clear clean space OF sky,
In which Orion, bright and proud,
Stood, in his starry radiance high
And the seven stars, the Pleiades,
Serenely smiled beyond the storm;
Mid tears OF joy smiled at ease,
Fear ned and love and faith waxed warm.
Then did these words in memory wake:
Seek Him who maketh the seven stars,
And grand Orion; who can break
The morning bright, through deaths dark bars
sought and found Thee, Blessed One,
My morning star in life's dark night!
o, ever thus bid clouds begone,
And fill my soul with heavenly light.
