was music from morning to night,
and once or twice a week, by way Of
variety, there was dancing from night
to morning. The men languidly smok-
ing on the broad and shady plazzas of
the hotel, lounged through the sultry
forenoon, and each day between 10 and /
the majority of the guests, both ladies
and gentlemen dashed off in all kinds of
gay vehicles to the races. The evening
was spent amid the pleasures of the ta-

apparently much more persistent than
successful. Never In the whole course
Of my life had seen such manifest
signs of the general possession of wealth
accompanied by such widespread lack

Painting Upon Lace.

This work is an imitation of the old
Cretan laces, which were made with
coloIed threads arranged as patterns
upon black or white ground. 1t is
executed with water colors, and used
for furniture lace or as trimmings to
dress fabrics, The colors are made
fast by the use of fixative, and though
they will not stand washing, they will
not take hurt from atmospheric causes.
To paint: Use veloutine as a fxative,
moist water colors mixed with Chinese
white or body colors, red sable brushes,
and work upon Yak or Cluny lace of
good designs. Stretch the lace and pin
it down to drawing board, so that
every part Of 1t is quite secnre. Select
the colors to use, and where they are
to be applied, and over every place that
is to be painted lay on wash of undi-
luted veloutine. When that is dry
make wash of Chinese white and vel
outline, pass that over the parts alread
sized with the yeloutine, and then paint
the lace with bright eolors in set pa*.
tern. To make the colored design;
Take the pattern woven in the lace as
the starting point, and color it so that
its chief lines are brought out by the
shading more prominently than its Sec
ondary. Use light blue vermillion,
crimson or golu for the chief lines;
green, dark blue and dull red for the
secondary. The more broken up and
diversified the coloring. the better the
effect. The colors used are yellow yer.
million shading to dark crimson, old
gold-colored yellows, yellow and olive
green's and cobalt and Prussian blues.
Lay them on without shading, mix them
with Chinese white and veloutine, and
see that they are thoroughly absorbed
into the material. Metallic colors, such
as gold and silver powder, can be ap.
-ilyed in the same way to the lace.

The other night old Josh Nuckleson
went to see Emma Abbott in ''Faust."
Before the curtain went up he re-
marked to man sitting near shat it
cost ''rite smart" to get into town
school-house, and that if he hadn't ter
been ''hongry" for fun he wouldn't
have come, After the orchestra had
been playing about fifteen minutes the
old fellow remarked:
lit takes them fellows devlish long
time ter tune up thar fidduls."
"They are not tuning up, they are
playing" said the man in front of the
critic.
''Is that the musicp"
"Yes.n
"Sounds like they're playin' for a
paralyzed man ter dance. 1t mout bo
music here, but amt where L live.
They wouldn't call hogs with such a
tune.
After the curtain went up, he re-
mained quiet for a long time, then
leaned over and said:
"When does the show begin?"
'It's going on nowl"
"When will they do something to
make feller laughp"
"There's no laugh in it."
"Then it amt no show 1 come here
to laugh. 1 ken see this sort o. thing
any time. What l want is something
to tickle me.''
People turned around and looked at
him reproachfully.
"They seem sorter s'prised ter see me
here," he continued, shut if I'd er
knowed as much hour ago as do
now I'd er saved 'em the trouble o.
twistin' roun'. They may call that
song, but call it squeal."
'Hush your mouth, !" said man who
did not want to lose a note of the
music, but who secretly wished some
one would break out with 'Mary's Run
Away Wild Coon," or "GoDown Mo-
ses.n
whats the matter, cap'nP"
II want you to hush."
''An' l want you ter hush. You're
botherin' me as much as 1 am
you. Wonder if they're goin' ter fetch
around song books am tickets tur the
concert, what'll be the best part of the
show, an so forthY Who's the Teller
with the red plaster on the back of his
neck?"
"The devil, hush."
"The devel, eh2 Wall, I'll wait
little longer, fur there oughter be heap

He quieted down for whils andthen
/ said:
"The devil das disappointed me. Dry
as the upper west fork o. Buckhorn
creek in August"
"Say, there" said a policeman, whose
services had been called by the music
loving people who sat near the dlsap-
pointed man.
"Wall."
''Hush that noise or I'll put you out
of here"
"Gimme my money back and III go
OUT"
II will give it to you," said gentle
man, "Here," and he handed the old
fellow ST. so.
"That hits me where 1 live," he said
as he stalked up the aisle. Beat my way

''HaTdly ever" answered one of Chi
cago's Oldest bank cashiers, to the
query of a reporter, who asked if such
things as unclaimed bank deposits were
of frequent occurrence.
"Where he keeps his money!" con-
tinued the banker, sis about the last
thing a man ever forgets. But some
times depositor shutRes of his mortal
coil without remembering to leave his
surviving relatives any clue whereby
they can learn who were his bankers.
This is to them a truly distressing state
of affairs, and it necessitatesa a thorough
search of all the banks until the right
one is found. No, very few peopls
forget where they keep their money,
or neglect to call for it sooner or
later,
"Hold on minute" suddenly ex-
claimed the cashier, as The reporter was
taking his leave. II have got little
story about a remarkable deposit once
made here. That was twenty years ago.
1t has been advertised from Maine to
California, but has never been claimed.
But the most extraordinary circum-
stance connected with the affair is, that
nobody in the bank ever saw the depos-
itor or issued him anything to show for
his money!"
"How could that be?''
''Just this way. That was in early
times, when banks here were very in
significant affairs compared with what
they are now, and there was compare
lively so little danger of robbery that l
used frequently to go across the street
to lunch, leaving the door open and no
one in my place. Well, one day when
| came back from lunch, 1 saw that
some one had entered and left lying In
the window-seat an old carpet-bag. i
gave it no notice, thinking the owner
would soon call and take it away. But
he didn't come, and the bag still lay
there when the time came for closing
up. threw it into the vault and went
home. Several days later the Office boy
came across it and brought it out, ask
ing if he should throw it into the ash7
barrel, as it appeared to be of no value.
We thought we'd open it first and see
if it contained any clue to its ownership
or anything of value. broke the lock
with paper-weight, the bag flew open
and out fell and rolled all over the
floor shower of gold, mostly in small
coins. That was absolutely all the
bag contained, ana there was $3.50 of
it,"
"And nobody ever called to claim
itr"
"They haven't yet, and 1 guess they
are not liable to at this late date. 1t
struck us strangely enough that any
one should be so forgetful about such a
matter, and, when all our advertising
was of no avail, we thought 1t very
strange indeed"
"What was done with -"
"What did we do with the money!
Oh, our new cashier employed it very
advantageously in bringing his accounts
into a presentable shape to lay before
the board of directors"
Several bookkeepers who had been
listening in open-mouthed astonishment
to the cashiers story, grinned audibly
at its appropriate ending, and the re-
porter, who hardly knew what to say,
said nothing and took his leave.

The value Of trees in public thor
oughfares is well known. A scientific
writer has recently asserted that they
help to purify the air ami increase its
circulation, the evaporation from their
leaves determining current from
above, and the fresh air thus brought
down assists in driving away the heated
and dust-impregnated gases of thestreet.
Another use of foliage is, In hot, dry
weather it moistens the surrounding
atmosphere and so renders it filter to
breathe,
Old putty can be removed without
injury to the sash or glass by passing
hot soldering iron over it. The heat
of the iron softens it readily, and per-
mits its removal with knife or chisel
without much trouble.

False Prophets.

The false prophets of Islam have
been many and not few of them have
endeavored to follow the example of
Mahomet and found an empire by force
of arms. Not one of them, however,
has been permanently successful, and if
the Mahdi escapes capture or assassina-
ton he will be more fortunate than
most Of his forerunners have been. Mo-
seilama, who raised the standard of re-
ligious revolt during the lifetime of Ma
homet, was defeated 6nd slain during
the reign Of Abu Beer by Khaled Ebn
al Valid, and AL Aswad, who set up
in the year of Mahomet's death, was
almost Immediately betrayed and
decapitated. 1t was upon this
occasion that Mahomet declar-
ed that ere tn day Of judgement
Islam would be troubled by thirty 9TH
er impostors. Soon afterward Toleiha
Ebn Khowalled arose, but seeing
the error of his ways recanted, and
Sejaj Bintal Moudar, an early exponent
VI nOlhoh o i5hooi iOu hlhhJ allol hCis
In the reign, too, of Khalif nj Mohdi,
Hakem Ebn Hashem, called Al Mokan-
ma, and well-known as the yelled proph-
ct of Khorassan, gained some success
es, and might have gained more had he
not despaired and committed suicide,
and in the reign of AL Motasem the
still more formidable pretender Babac
was executed, but not until he had
slain quarter Of million of his enc
mics. Then came the Karmations and
the Ishmaelians, or Assassins, and the
followers of Al Montanabi, and of Ba-
ba the Turkoman, and OF many more;
so that if Mahomet's thirty impostors
have not already appeared and disap-
peared again, the Mahdi must surely
be nearly the last of the series. If, on
the other hand, all the false prophets
have come and gone, who is the Mahdi?
1t is but too probable that Islam, or at
least great part Of it will answer the
question by proclaiming that Mahomet
Ahmed is the Messiah.
