Dishes Made of Paper.

The latest application of paper Is
the adoption Of paper plates by some
of the great restaurants and cafes in
Berlin. The innovation was first in
troduced during the summer of last
year by the adventurous landlord Of a
much f~requented opsn-air restaurant.
Every customer who ordered bread
and butter, rolls, cakes, buns, or SINH
lar articles, had them served to him
on q little paper plate, made of light
papier mache, adorned with a pretty
border in relief, and having, at nrst
glance. a great similarity to porcelain.
Guests, walters and host were all
pleased with the novelty. 1t saved
the walters many a deduction from
their wages on account of breakages,
which the deftest and cleverest can
scarcely avoid when he handles hum
dreds of pieces of crockery during a
single afternoon and evening.
The paper plates were SC cheap that
the landlord did not care TO assert his
ownership over them, and his custom
ers were allowed to carry them away
like the pretty serviettes OF thin paper
used in so many restaurants in Hol-
land. There was always considerable
saving On tue time lost andthe chance
of accident incurred in the cleansing
of esrthenwsre pottery. The success
of the e. experiment. has been ~ marked
that the new species OF plates is likely
to lie introduced into a large number
of restaurants.

Women's Rights in Burmah.

King Theebaw, of Burmah, the big
gest bully and brute In the world, has
at last found his match, in a woman
who can assert the rights of her sex.
The Queen was recently confined of
her third child, which proved to be a
daughter. Now King Theebaw de-
sires to have an heir to the throne, and
he resolved, therefore, like Napoleon,
to provide himself with another wife.
Indeed he bettered Napoleon. for he
took two new wive-, one Of them the
granddaughter Of the Kan.pat Men
ghee and the other the daughter Of Il
minor official.
The Queen soon heard of this, and
as she was unable to go to the King,
she sent him a peremptory order to put
away his new wives at once. KING
Theehaw replied that he should dc
nothing of the kind-that he was tired
of her majesty, inasmuch a she only
presented him with daughters, and
that he was determined to free him.
self Of her control, and to be . real
King.
Seven or eight days were passed in
angry messages, but at the end Of hat
time, the Queen left her apartments,
and went TO those OF the King. Ar
rived there she seized the monarch.
carried him of to her " rooms, and
locked him up Nth the baby. She then
went of and attended TO tue affairs OF

The Ear.

Few people realize what a wonder
fully delicate structure the human ear
really is. That which we ordinarily
designate 30, is after all only the mere
outer porch of a series Of winding pas
sages, which, like the Hobbies Of a
great building, lead from the outer air
into the inner chambers.
Certain of these passages are full of
liquid, and their membranes are
stretched like parchment curtains,
across the corridors at different places,
and car be thrown into vibration or
made to tremble as the head OF q drum
or the surface of q tambourins does
when struck with a stick or the an
gers. Between two of these parch-
ment-like curtains, 3 chain Of very
small bones extends, which serves to
tighten or relax these membranes,
and to communicate vibrations TO
them.
In the innermost place of ali, rows
Of fine thread called nerves, stretch,
like the strings of a piano, 10 the last
point to which the tremblings or
thrillings reach, and pass inward to
the brain. II these nerves are de-
stroyed, the power ofhearing certainly
departs, as the power to give out
sounds is lost by q piano or violin
when Its strings are broken .-PAaa-

Roman Remains in London.

Modern London is built on the de
bris of the London of the times of
Julius Cesar and Agricola, and 1t Is
by no mean infrequently that 1900
year-old relics of the Roman town are
found many feet below the surface Of
the existing streets. There was q rich
fnd recently, in the vicinity of War
wick Square, at the depth Of nineteen
feet.
The most interesting relic that came
to light was a hitherto unknown coin,
of the year so, which lay alongside OF
about a dozen urns containing the
products of cremation. Just think of
the pangs which dying would have in
fiieted on those ansients If they had
known that their ashes would be seen
and handled by an unknown rsoe
eighteen centuries ard 8 half, nearly,
after their demise! The most aristo-
cratic urn was OF glass and fifteen
inches high.
Well executed leaden pots enclosed
several of these repositories, aud
roofing tiles the rest. The use of lead,
as well IS of tin, by the way, has great
antiquity In Britain. Herodotus
speaks Of the production of tin there.
Emblems of more or less significance
touching tho future state appeared on
some of the receptacles. Along With
the coin of the year so were Others OF
dates between 48 and 300.
But the Romans left something be-
sides these useless things TO be remem-
bered by. They introduced into Great
Britain its chestnut, walnut, peach,
pear and cherry tree.

"An aboriginal! You mean AN In

"No; we have got them pretty well

"Oh, yes in New York City they

A Western telegraph pole .climber
tells a stirring tale of the h~ardships
endured by men of his trade. They
are often forced t. climb rotten poles,
especially in the rural districts. In
one case, wh,n n pole broke under
him, he held OH to the the cross-piece
and the wires let him down gently to
the ground.
But perhaps the G, eatest danger is
from the electricity, which sometimes
knocks men from the poles. In damp
weather, especially, they are iiable to
received severe shocks when they
touch two wires at once with different
parts OF their bodies. The climber
said:
/ tell you it's a fearful contract to
undertake to fix a broken wire on a
wet day. l have seen some Of the
boys kick and squirm on the cross
pieces and yell so loudly that you
would think they had gone off into
spasms. l have in my mind one
young man In particular who came
near breaking his neck. He was what
you call one Of ''smart your Alexis"
1t was a damp, rainyd day i'll Septem-
Der when he went up to splice u wire.
AS o as he reached the irst cross
piece he thought he would make the
boy. laugh by performing valious an
tics, SO he sat astride one of the wires
near the pole and caught hold Of an
other. The batteries attached at the
ends of both wires were heavily
charged, and he was 30 badly shocked
that the men were compelled 10 go up
and take him down. In fact, the
shock almost killed him.
