FASHIONABLE FoorwOsrEx.

Footmen are going out and footwomen
are taking their place. Dining the other
night in Eaton place, the door was opened
by one of tho latter in a most charming
and becoming livery. Black md white
mob cap for headdress, stand-up collar with
white eravat and small pin in it, rich brown
cloth coat with livery buttons, cut some

waistcoat with high church collar-such

me hand and foot, aud certainly never was
a dinner more defty handed and served.
Why not Women are, by their nature,
much better SEited for this sort of work
than men. The latter think nothing of
eating onions or smoking vile tobacco be-

A roTAL AnsrINENcE FACE.

Charity may be q virtue, butwhen aiming
to be good in this direction it is proper to
see that your generosity is applied to de-
serving objects. A Hartford gentleman,
who is charitabIy disposed, has been i'm
posed upon SO many times he is now very
cautious to whom he gives. But this morn
ing man poorly clad, with features pinched
by cold, called at onr friends store and
asked for something to eat. The merchant
was about to send him to the right about
with savage "No," when something
about the mans face made him think that
this one was possibly deserving of charity.
So he questioned him and drew out what
appeared to be tolerably straight story Of
misfortune, resulting in the loss of work,
and thus compelling him to beg.
"Do you drink ?" asked the merchant
'No, sir" answered the other, little in
dignantly. "Do look like it?"
The merchant was compelled to inwardly
admit that his pale face did not look like the
phiz of drinking man.
"But," continued the merchant, 81 sup
warm breakfast ?n
"NO, sir, replied the beggar, 81 would
rather have the breakfast"
This seemingly honest answer threw him
off his guard, and he handed him quarter,
telling him to go and get breakfast.
"Thank you," said the fellow, as he care
fully laid away the coin In an inside pocket
to his coat. "Now, there be men mean
enough to take money from gentleman
like you and then go off and peddle it of
for rum. But Iain't that kind of chap
not much. Good day, SIR"
This little speech aroused the merchants
suspicious and he told one of his clerks to
shadow him and see where he brought
up. He turned the first corner, and there
met a companion, and as the clerk was fof-
lowing on behind, heard the following dia-
logue
"Well, old rooster, what did you getf"
"Not q cent. How did you make out p"
sob, got a quarter. My total absti-
nence face did the business. Your rum face
spiles you for a frst-class beggar. But
come along in here and get a drink" and
the clerk saw them slide into saloon, and
when he went back and reported, the mer-
chant was convinced he had been sold again.
If that total abstinence face shows up in that
particular store again there viii be music
at the toe of the merchants nt'sboot.-HartfoTd

A CUsTOlr-uOUsE SCARE.

A writer in contemporary &AssaEs
terrible scare that upset the Cus.om-House
authorities in Venice, some time since.
There came to the city q curiously- shaped
box, and this contained still more curious
ly-shaped implement-instru-
ment-article, which gravely alarmed the
Custom-House officers, who sent for their
superiors, who in turn sent for the police.
The thing was made of leather, and upon it
some extraordinary Jumps or elevations.
At length an astute official hit upon the idea
it was an internal machinel This was
Just about the time of the Bremerhaven ex-
plosion, and every one was on the lookout
for one of these dreaded objects. What to
do next nobody knew. In the end a reck-
less porter was bribed to carry the article
to an outhouse, and there it reposed for
some days, the most daring of those who
had the right to approach looking through
the window furthest away from the terrible
affair to see whether it looked as if it were
going soon to explode. Their main object
was, of course, to catch the criminal who
sent it, and one day the desperate villain
an English arrived, and actually
dared to complain of delay in forwarding
the machine. He said it was not an internal
machine at all-simply his wife's side saddle.
So it was; and for the first time in their
lives the Custom-House authorities were
made acquainted with what in Venice was
more than a novelty.

AN ECCENTRIC NOBLEMAN.

Says the London Telegraph: One of the
wealthiest and most eccentric noblemen In
Europe, Prince Joseph Sulkowski, Duke of
Bielitz, arrived at Copenhagen short time
ago, on his way to Norway, where he pro-
poses to spend the season in bear hunting.
He was accompanied by numerous suite,
consisting of highly -salaried lady CON-
panion, maitre de chapene, reader,
body surgeon, valet de chambre, two run
ming footmen, an enormous mastif, "A huge
ourang-outang, two voluble parrots, and
several cagefuls of singing birds. One
favorite member of his household, Bengal
tiger, he had been compelled to leave behind
him at Hamburg, as the steamboat authori-
ties respectfully but positively declined to
convey that princely retainer neross the
seas. Prince Sulkowskfs personal habits,
as described in letter from Copenhagen,
are somewhat out CT the common. He
rises at p. M, breakfasts an hour later,
and listens to musical selections performed
by the members of his household until
seven. From seven 10 eighth he takes nap,
which is followed by moro chamber music
until L a. M, his regular dinner hour.
Having dined sumpu lously, he sal1ies out
on foot, accompanied by his secretary, and
walks about the town until seven, when he
return to his hotel AMI goes to bed.

ENGLTsu KISSES.

The women OF England (says Polydors
virgiI) not oaly salute their relations with .
kiss, but al persons Promise0usly, and thIs
ceremony they repeat gently touching
them with the lips, not only with grace, but
without the least immodesty. Such, how
ever, Gs are Of the blood-royal do not kiss
their interiors, bat oIer the back Of the
hand, as men do by salutins each other.

friends on this subject. "Did you but

A knot Of manzanita roots, about foot
long, which grew SO as to represent man
resting upon the head of dragon with one
foot, while tee other foot and one arm are
uplifted, as if the figure was in the attitude
of hurting Jayelin, is now in the posses
sion of gentleman at San Jose, California.
The color of the wood is rich brown. The
representation is quite true, and very little
carving is needed to make it almost perfect.
The curiosity was formerly in the possession
of an Indian. chief, and was left him by his
ancestors. 1t CHEW somewhere in the Rocky
Mountains, and Is supposed to have been in
the possession of abe Indians for centuries.
What little carving was done on it was IKE
suited by them. During some war it was
captured by the whites and fell into the
hands of hunter. In 1S49 he was offered
500 for it, but refused to part with it, and
kept it till his death, which occurred not
long ago. He left the curiosity to Mr.
Charles Ehrlich, the gentleman referred to,
who prizes it highly.

TIE HISTORY OF A PAINTING.

There has recently been sold in London a
drawing possessing SOME interest because Of
the name with which it is signed, and the
history that attaches to it. The name Is
that of Louis Philippe, and the history is
as follows: In 1915 Louis Philippe COM
missioned Conder to paint picture of vast
size, representing the Federation of 1890,
to be hung at Versailles. Conder at once
set to work, but did not think of submitting
a preliminary sketch to the King. When
the picture was far advanced the King went
to see it, ana, to the artists dismay,
coolly remarked: ''Your picture is very
striking, NJ. Conder, but it is not the Fed
Grafton Of 1870. I was there, saw the whole
scene, and it was not at all like this.
must tell you frankly that you must begin
your whole work over again" The artist
was in despair, for the picture was nearly
finished; but the King would not give way.
he demanded another picture and, inviting
the artist to breakfast, showed him sketch
he had made from memory of the event. II
is this sketch that has now been sold. II
must be added that the price fixed for the
painting had been %, 900 francs, and this
Louis Philippe paid for the rejected work,
agreeing to pay the same for another pic
ture painted according to his own design.
cit is a dear bargain, " he remarked, "bui
