SAT DOWN IN THE PUDDING.

A story comes from rock-ribbed Wind ham Co.,, Conn. The use of names would be unkind. It concerns a spruce young city lawyer, who led blushing damsel as bride from her rural New England home and returned with her to the hospitable mansion of his father in law to enjoy tie Thanksgiving festival He was given the post of honor ut the table and called upon to carve--accord- ing to tine time honored-custom. The turkey was baked pretty hard and was somewhat tough withal. The spruce young lawyer struggled. The baked bird would not yield. An enormous plum pudding stood beside the turkey platter, and was somewhat in the law yer's way. Finally he took up the pud- ding dish and placed it in his chair be- hind him, and then renewed his attack on the turkey with redoubled vigor. His face was red with effort and embar- rassment his glasses steamed with per. spiration--but still he struggled. At last he made q tremen effort and succeeded-in landing the imperious bird on the other side of the table.
 'There," he said in despair. "now I've done it," and sat down in the pudding. -[ New Haven Register.

LOST TREASURES.

At large hotel in Atlantic City, one day, d lively conversation arose over the fish at dinner, and several of the guests related some extraordinary stories about finding pearls and other yaluables in the entrails of fish, when an old man, who had been quietly listening to what was passing, broke forth with the following :

NEW METHOD OF LAYING FLOORS.

A new method of laying down floors has been adopted in France and is said to have gained popularity. It consists in putting down floors not as heretofore on joists, but in embedding the floor in asphalt. The new floors have been used mostly for ground stories of barracks and hospitals. Pieces of oak. usually two and a half to four inches broad, twelve to thirty inches long and one inch thick, are pressed down into layers of hot asphalt not quite half an inch thick, in the wel!-known herring-bone pattern. To insure complete adhesion of the wood to the asphalt and obtain the smallest possible joints the edges of the pieces, of wood are planed down, beveling towards the bottom, so that their cross section becomes wedge-like. Nails of course are not necessary, and perfectly level surface may be given to flooring by blaming after the laying down is completed.
 The advantage of this flooring, which only requires an even bed upon which tt itSt, dit Sdli tO Dt tlC First. Damp from below and it's con sequence-rot, are prevented. Second. Floors may be cleansed quickly and with the least amount .of water, insuring rapid drying. Third. Nermin cannot accumulate in the joints. Fourth. Un- healthy exhalations from the soil cannot penetrate into living-rooms asphalt be- ing impermeable to damp, rooms become perfectly healthy, even if they are not vaulted underneath. In buildings con sisting of several stories, as in hospitals, the vitiated air from the lower rooms cannot ascend, ali object which it has hitherto been impossible to attain by any other means. Fifth. The layer of asphalt will also prevent the spreading of fire from one floor to another in case Of confagration.

TUCKING AND PLEATING.

Among some very novel breakfast dresses just imported are long gowns of finest cashmere in cream, peacock and electric blue, shrimp pink, strawberry and rock-gray shades-that are tucked lengthwise from top to bottom, back and front, and trimmed with cascades of tinted Escurial lace in which are flots of satin ribbon. Silk cords confine the waist. The sleeves are a little full and slightly flowing, easy upon the arm and trimmed with lace Another style of morning dress is cut with moyenage waist which clearly defines the waist and hips. The skirt is laid in very full small, perpendicular folds around the elongated centre at the back of this bodice and to the sides, which may be paneled or simply made to meet d front formed of two killings with a rim of rose embroidery between in solid, self contrasting, or varied colors between, as preferred. Certainly upon white, white is more elegant than any color, es- pecially if the hip belt which covers the edge of the bodice and defines it is of black velvet.
 Still another morning gown is of gray Surah, the fullness laid in lengthwise pleats upon straight lining which strict ly outlines the figure, but is easy as well as graceful. The hip belt is of ruby satin and is passed under the pleats, reappearing upon the plain parts of the bodice, and the color is repeated in the cascades of lace which are carried down the front. It is very common now for ladies to adopt the European custom and breakfast in their boudoir, general ly lovely secluded room, with stained glass windows, an open fireplace, and perhaps rose silk curtains to give a be- coming tint to the complexion. These gowns are for the boudoir breakfast pur- poses, and those with moyenage bod ice are particularly adapted to women of stately, handsome figure,

 A SHARP WITNESS.

During d recent trial the following oc- cured, varying the monotony of the pro ceedings. Among the witnesses was one as verdant speciman of humanity as one would wish to meet with. After q severe cross-exanination, the counsel for the government paused; and then, put ing on look of severity, and an omi- nous shake of the head exclaimed
 "Mr. Witness, has not an effort been made to induce you to tell different story"
 "A different story from what l have told, sir?"
 "That is what l mean
 "Yes, sir; several persons have tried to get me to tell different story from what have told, but they couldn't"
 "Now, sir, upon your oath wish to know who those persons are."
 "Waal, guess you've tried bout as hard as any of 'em."
 The witness was dismissed while judge, jury and spectators indulged in hearty laugh.
