SMALL TALK.

What is the attraction at the opera
house tonight that all The seats SIRE
taken? The front seats by men young,
old, gray and bald. The frontier the
seats the older, grayer, and balder,
and holder the enraptured gazes.
Notice how the opera glasses is in
constant use. See that young man,
much to the disgust of his sweet
heart, unable to move his eyes from
the stage. Did you hear that young
married woman just tell her husband
"let's 60 horne and see if the baby il
crying!" The husband did not hear
her. The galleries are full, fuller
even than some of the occupants.
The sign standing room only,'' is
shown early in the evening. The
alarm of fire in the next block would
not a dozen empty seats. You
might suppose that one of the most
eloquent divines in the world was the
cause of this great congregation of
people who came to know ''what to
do to be saved.' Then again you
hight guess that some renowned ex-
plOrer of an unknown world or an
unseen pole, after long years of dis
covery had invited all to come and
see what he had seen, and hear what
he had heard, Of you might reasona-
bly, think that some far-famed actor
with a worldwide reputation, Shakes
perian or Jesse-Jameserian was going
to make peoples hair stand on
end and the blood stand still in
their veins. When told you were
wrong, you would guess a circus,
a tame cyclone, a green elephant, the
wild man, a Siberian bloodhound,
&C., &C., &c. All wrong. You
might guess all the sever and seven
million wonders of the world but
would never suppose that this unusu-
al crowd had come to see a dozen
half-naked women sing and dance in
the ballet. The size of their legs is
equaled by the t%oughness of their
faces. Their cheeks are painted and
their stockings stuffed. Their voices
cracked, their characters white-wash
ed, and still they draw crowds. One
would think to look at them they
would stop a clock, and still you look
and they only stop the boys.

I'LL.

ga thing of beauty is a joy forev-
en-" People of different ages and
different countries, have wide and va
ried views of what constitutes the
beautiful to the greatest degree. The
Esquimaux young man thought his
sweetheart beautiful - the Mexico
young man thinks the same-not of
the Esquimax sweetheart - but of
his own. There is no comparison be-
tween them at all, except the n is
fat and the other lean. We find here
a rich bridal %trousseau, perfect in all
its parts. One hundred ladies examine
it. With one voice they exclaim,
"How beautiful"
Over in the pasture is a fine thor
oughbred stallion, a perfect ideal OF
all that zoe to make this most noble
anir,al so valuable. The husbands
and sweethearts of the ladies just
spoken of, as they speak OF his fine
Joints, VOW ''he is a beauty
Many things have points of beauty.
Few things are beautiful to all. Bry-
son, of the Louisiana Republican,
thinks his puns are beautiful. His
readers, as they slowly but surely
die bv inches, call them simply hor.
rible. We have a lady friend who
thinks her crazy quilt is more beauti-
full than the starry heav n in q cleai
cold winters night. If we had to
sleep out on said night we would
think an old horse blanket or coffee
sack much more beautiful. The
l snow is beautiful on the outside. The
, fire is beautiful on the inside. II
would take years to enumerate the
Varied degrees, ideas and differences
: of beauty. What we have in oul
mind is beautiful to all, young ant
old, savage and civilized, man ant
woman. There is no n who car
t not see the many and varied points Of
beauty. There is no one who car
find ought about it not beautiful. L
is not only beautiful in it's design ant
: of itself, but the purpose for which i
is, the day which it celebrates. al
adds to its beauty. We know O.
, nothing more worthy to be called
beautiful than the Christmas tree
loaded with presents for all-rich ant

CANDY TOYS POISONOUS.

is manipulated with IA little flour or
starch. aud cannot be detected by the
taste. Iou will find it in every kind
of candy. Nine tenths of the cheaper
candies are made of glucose Form
erly candy was made of cano sugar,
but now the cane product has given
place to corn sacchdrine. The choc.
olate creams that peep out SO invlt
lngly at you from the show case,
have an interior or glucose. terra alba
and starch. Gum drops are com
posed of gum arabic with gcner
Gus amount of glucose. Many OF the
Ingredients in candy are indigestible.
They give body ana weight, and are
disguised by sweets. Gypsum, or
plaster of Paris, is largely used. The
highly colored candies are all
dangerous, and should be avoided.
Red is procured with vermillion.
sulphide Of mercury and red lead, or
oxide Of lead, all very poisonous.
Many of the blues are poisonous.
particularly that made by cobalt
blue. Yellow -colored candies should
never sbe eaten. The color is pro
dnced by chromate of lead, and when
once taken into the stomach is never
eliminated from the system. 1t is a
willy foe to life. and waits reinforce
ment to eventually destroy its victim.
Candy toys should never be
touched. They are purchased. to a
large extent. because of their form.
A slipper, cat, dog or doll is very
pleasing. but contains poison. These
toys are all painted with dangerous
colors. They don't break ii they fall
now as they used to, because they are
made OF tenacious glucose and not
cane sugar. A fall from five story
window would hardly hurt them. I
don't think you will find toy made
OF pure sugar.

DUST ON YOUR GLASSES.

Here's a story that will do with
telling a second time:
don't often put on my glasses to
examine Katy's work, but one morn
ing, not long since, l did SO upon en-
tering a room she had been sweeping.
Did you forget to open the win
dows when you swept, katy?' | in
quired; this room is very dusty"
4 think their is dust ON your eye
glasses, ma'am," she said modestly
And sure enough the eye glasses
were at fault, and not Katy. !
rubbed them oft; and everything
looked bright and clean, the carpet
like new and Katy's face said:
1 am glad it was the glasses, and
not me, this time"
This has taught me a good lesson.
1 said to myself, upon leaving the
room, and one l shall remember
through life.
In the evening Katy came to me
with some kitchen trouble. The
cook had done SO and SO and she
had said so and so. When her story
was finished, said smilingly:
There is dust on your glasses,
Katy; rub them off, You Will see
better
She understood me and left the
room.
/ told the incident to the children,
and it is quite common to hear them
say to each other:
"Oh, there is dust on your
glasses"
Sometimes l am referred to:
Mamma, Harry las dust on his
glasses; can't he rub it off,
When 1 hear person criticising
another, concerning, perhaps, a
course Of action he knows nothing
about, drawing differences prejudicial
to the person OF persons, l think
right away, There is dust ON your
glasses, rub it off, The truth, is
everybody wears these very same
glasses. only the dust is little
thicker on some than on others, and
needs harder rubbing to get it off.
said this to John one day, some
little matter coming up that called
forth the remark: There are some
people 1 wish would begin to rub,
then" said he. : There is Mr. So
and So and Mrs So and So; they are
always ready to pick at some one, to
slur, to hint i don't like Them
Il think my son John has wee
bit on his glasses just now
He laughed and asked:
What is body TO do?"
Keep your own well rubbed up.
and You will not know whether
others need it or not"
Il will he replied.
think as family, we are all pro
fitting by that little incident, and
through life will never forget the
meaning of There is dust on your
glasses

A MOUSE AND A FINGER-RING

Several months ago a lady residing
on Beacon street took off a number OF
rings from her fingers and laid them
upon her dressing table. After wash
ing her hands she returned to the
room to replace her rings, when to
her astonishment one of them. dia-
mond. was missing. She was certain
that she took the ring from her finger
and equally certain that no one coHld
have entered the room without her
knowledge during the five minutes
she had been in the bath room. A
most rigid search was instituted. but
the missing ring, valued at 500, was
not found. A few weeks since the
lady was much annoyed by mice.
Almost nightly they held their reyels.
They not only destroyed her sleep.
but choice laces were mutilated. The
lady procured trap. one of the old
fashioned kind, and. having baited il
with a tempting bit of cheese. placed
it near the scene of depredations.
On the following morning she had
three fine silky mice of various sizes.
One Of them was SO peculiarly con
strllcted that it attracted her atten-
ton. as it appeared TO have a string
tied around its body. The servant girl
was instructed to drown the captives
and reset the trap. and she was about
throwing the dead mice into the dirt
barrel when her eye was attracted
by a sparkle from what proved TO be
the lost diamond ring. which was not
perceptihle when the mouse was alive.
but which came to light after the
severe soaking which the mouse re
ceived 1t Is supposed. in his haste
to get away, that he ran his head
through the ring. and subsequent
struggles only forced il over his fore
legs, where it remained Boston
