the fact Of Mrs. Astor's having sent
cards of invitation for her reception to

whose acquaintance she has not been
able to make personally on account of
her delicate state Of health, instead OF
1t being taken as 1t was meant. as an
act of courtesy and ciyility, was re-
sented as an insult. Strictlyspeaking,
am assured that Mrs. Astor has COM
piled with the ordinary forms observed
by people in her position but say
that IT were otherwise, and that some
triiling lapse Of strict etiquette had
been neccsstated by her delicate
health, it is quite evident that she
evinced courtesy and offered hospital
ity TO these scOrnful ladies. | regret
TO add that those who complain the
loudest and make the most fuss about
these minute points Of etiquette are
Americans, married either TO Italian
mobiles or persons in an official position
about the court. II should be very
gratifying to their husbands to observe
how completely they cast aside their
nationality and all old habits when
they choose the occasion Of Washing

and saw-the man with the cross
country grin and the banjo head fea-
lures, sitting by the fire, sewing but
ton on his trousers.
1t was not until after the expiration
of nearly half an hour that the writer
could find tongue to speak, and then
the words came thick and husky.
Upon asking how long he had been
there, the man pointed to the clock.
1t was twenty minutes past 10. When
he began smoking it was few min
utes past 8. Rolling from the shelf,
the floor appeared to shelve upward,
and he became impressed with the
idea that he was in danger Of being
cut in twain by the sharp corners of
the room, which whirled about him
with a diz2ying speed. 1t was some
minutes before he trusted himself on
his feet, and then his head panied, and
the very blood in his veins seemed
boiling. Bidding the proprietor of the

termined never again to participate in

Many ladies do not know why old
lace is often so much more valuable
and generally 50 much more beautiful
than new. The fact is that the yalua-
ble old lace is all woven in "lust" pat
terms. It is frequently As fine As a
spiders film and cannot hc reproduced.
The loss Of patterns was severe
check TO lace-making in France and
Belgium, and was occasioned by the
French Revolution. Before that time
whole villages supported themselves
by lace-making. and patterns were
handed down from one generation 70
another They were valuable heir
looms. for the most celebrated wcaycrs
always had as many orders rs they
could execute in a lifetime, and they
were bound ny an oath taken on the
-Four Gospel, 60 work only FOR certain
dealers. When the Reign Of Terror
began. all business OF this sort was in
torTupted for a time. After the storm
subsidized the dealers and workers were
far apart some dead. some lost. and
some escaped go foreign lands; and
such Of the women rs remained were
bound by their oath to work for but
one. And this oath. in spite Of Robes
picrre's doctrines, was held by the
poorest Of them to be binding. and
there are instances where they suffered
actual want rather than break their
word Some, however, taught their
children and their grandchildren, and
many patterns were in this way pre-
served. Some Of Tie daintiest and
finest patterns were never recovered,
and to-day specimens Of these laces are
known to be worth their weight In

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.


If L were disposed to curse any moth
er, by the "Crossness." of her children,
l might advise the free use of this
fashionable article. 1t is used with
the false idea that 1t will aid the moth
er in keeping her babe asleep, or in
quieting. Now, it will do no such
thing, on the whole, but the contrary.
No one ever saw babe that had taken
much of it, that was not unusually
''cross," fretful, peevish and very un-
amiable! To give it, is like borrowing
money at an exorbitant rate, then at a
higher rate to pay the first, and so on
till one Is bankrupt. The sleep sup
posed to be obtained, is not sleep, but
stupor, which must so "unstring the
nerves" as to increase the irritability
and wakefulness. II constipates,
locks the whole powers up, so to speak,
so that natural action is impossible. 1t
produces general disorder in the sys-

relieved by physic, which as certainly
aggrayates the difficulty, growing
worse and worse by each application.
GLOW long will it take to recover at
that rate?)
But, what shall be given? That de-
pends on what is the disturbance. If
the babe is wakeful from pain in the
stomach, let that organ rest for time.
If there is pain in the bowels give
an injection of warm water. If it is
hungry-and you are sure, very sure
of it, which may be doubtful, as chill
dren cry from pain as well as hunger
nurse it. Remove the cause of un-
rest but do not stupefy babe just for
the purpose of having quiet, a chance
to work! 1t is better for the mother
to sleep. If the babe has common
sense it need not sleep all of the time.
1t has right TO play and look about a
part of the time, as well as adults

Prophecies for the Credulous

Hardly had people recovered from
the nerye-shattering soothsaying of
Mother Shipton when the weird words
Of wind-compelling Virgins is well
rubbed from recollection. two ancient
prophecies have been unearthed for
the present year. One Is from the
writings of Nostradamus. a French
astrologer Of the sixteenth century,
which may be thus rendered
"In eighteen hundred and eghty-,hree,
When woods in vernal green shall be,
Against misfortune and mischance
a lame man shall protec, our France"
The Comte de Chambord is lame.
and may be taken to represent the
"boiteaux" or "boiteux."
The second blood-curdler is:
"when Faster falls in our LAdy's lap
To England shall come grea, mishap"
Now, Easter Sunday this year fell
for the first time in about hundred
years. on 2 Lady Day" March Is.
We now manufacture another
prophecy
whea in one week fall Sundays two.
Prot c,ic rhymes may chance come true.

To Flood Sahara.

Count de Lesseps has explored the
route for himself, and he declares that
the construction Of a canal to flood the
great African desert with the waters Of
the Mediterranean is feasible. There has
been doubt as to whether the surface
Of Sahara is higher or lower than the
surface of the sea, but his triumphant
communication from Tunis indicates
that he has obtained information that
to perform his feat it will not be nee
essary to make water run uphill. 1t
is proposed to cut channel through
the narrow neck of land which separ-
ates the salt marshes south Of Tunis
from the gulf of Gabcs, and thus pour
an ocean into the vast basin of sand
whose farther rim is the border Of the
Soudan-a land Of the riches of India
and the population of the United
States France has been eager to bring
the heart of Africa to the light Of
civilization and the wealth to the pock-
cts Of Frenchmen, and Colonel Flatters
expended three years Of toll and $780,
900 of treasure in the attempt to fulfill
his ambitious prediction: II will cross
Africa with a railway" Since his
slaughter by Arabs the scheme to pene-
trate the heart of the dark continent"
with a railway has dropped from pub
lie attention. and Count de Lesseps,
the great uniter of the earth's waters,
has laid his stupendous project before
his admiring countrymen, with sub
lime confidence in his ability to secure
$15,O00,0OO for the work by merely
asking. The count is now nearly
eighty years of age, and in his long
and romantic career he has accom-
plished prodigious achievements, but
If he restores to the burning sands Of
Sahara the waves which in a remote
age rolled over them, the creation Of an
ocean and the civilization Of contin-
ent will be the climax of his career
and the chief marvel of his fame
