Head. Dressed Dinner.Parties.

Paris, it seems, has invented new
amusement; it gives what are called
dinner parties en- tete, at which each OF
the guests must come with his head
made up to represent some historical
person, or at least in the style of some
picturesque period. Only the head is
to be made up; therest of the body may
be closhed in the ordinary garb of the
nineteenth century. AS one reais OF
this strange custom, one can not. help
thinking how very ludicrous dinner
party got up on this plan must appear
to the more reasonable among its
members. and how curioasly appropri.
ate in the mouth OF each guest might
be the words of the Athenian weaver
Bottom-s.What do you see? You see

One esthete, who had amused two
continents with the cut Of his clothes,

of the new plan in London by going

be the likeness Of Roman Emperor;

An important item In the mauufact.
ure of cigar boxes is the label, which
costs from sixty cents to six dollars a
thousand. The larger box factories
have printing-roOm attached to their
establishments, and print the ordinary
quality of labels themselves, while the
more elaborate qualities of more or less
artistic design, and printed in from
three to dozen colors, are made by the
large photographic establishments, where
designers for this particular branch Of
work are kept steadily at work. 1t is a
noticeable fact that in a great many
cases one may Judge of the
quality of cigars by the kind OF
label attached to the box. The s'loudr

COrns.

A correspondent asks for description
and treatment of cOrns in horses feet.
At first they are simply bruises of that
part of the sole which is between the
bars and wall of the heel, but after
awhile is frequently the formation of a
horny tumor which presses on the
quick. In some cases the brIise causes
active Inflammation and produces mat
ter, which may burrow generally toward
the coronet, but sometimes around the
toe, and causes disease of the cartileges
or the bone. In some cases when
the corn is pared out the heels curb
forward and inward, having lost the
support of the sole. The Inflammation
and suppuration will in such case be
kept up. The presence of corns may be
determined by lameness in the animal,
with tendency to "point, with the
heel slightly raised when at rest, and a
short stumbling step when in motion.
If the affected heel is tapped with a
hammer the animal will Vince. The
treatment, if it is a recent bruise and
uneomplicated, is to apply 8 shoe with
the bearing surface of the affected heel
rasped down, and the feet are placed
IN water or the walls kept moist with
wet::swabs and the sole with oil meal.
Remove the shoe before it presses on
the heel. If suppuratfon has taken
place, pare down the heel until the
matter escapes, remove all horn de-
tached from the quick and pare the
horn around this to a thin edge, poul-
tice until the surface is smooth, dry and
free from tenderness, and then put on
bar shoe, leather sole and a stuffing
of tow and tar. Horny tumors must be
pared out, and treated in the same way.

the magistrate advises him to reserve

that they have committed some crime.

Then let him cross out two more, and

He then at their request tried the ex-
pertinent on the other five members OF
the party. He was successful in every
instance.
"That is all there is of Spiritualism
or mind reading" said he; 1.-THE rest is
simply trickery like this" As he spoke
he stretched one hand across the table
gently took two dollar bill from the
hand of q waiter who was handing it in
change to one of the party, and crum-
pied it up in his hand, which he still
held far over the table. Then he show.
ed it to the man, and it was changed to
twenty dollar bill. Goldberg tossed
it to him, and he ct once thrust it into
his pocket with the remark that he was
eighteen dollars winner.
''Are you surep" asked the Professor.
"Of course. know when / put
twenty dollar bill in my pocket"
'.It's a one dollar bill, said the Pro-
lessor quietly. .'The original two dol
lar bill is in the celery glass"
The man pulled out the bill. found it
was one dollar, threw it across to the
Professor, pulled the two dollar bill out
of the celery glass, and gasped:
where's that twenty?"
'.Here in my hand"
"Well, motion is quicker than sight,

quicker than sight. The reason you
didn't see me substitute one of those
bills for another is because distracted

A pack was procured by the waiter,
who regarded the magician with awe as
he said:
Every many poker players, men of
the world at that, do not believe that
one expert card sharp could &c into
party of four or five honest players and
cheat them without discovery. Now I'll
deal four hands"
He shuffied the cards in a number OF
ways, but always. as far as appearance
went, very honestly. He then asked
the man on his right to cut them, and
had them cut once more '.for purity's
sake" by another player. Then he
dealt them around one at time to fouI
players, including himself, and the
other players picked up their cards.
"Gad! I'd like to play this hand"
muttered the first man.
II could down you," said the second
man, with an important scowl.
The third wore the expression of s
man who looks down upon his fellows,
as he remarked: I'D bet everything

Meanwhile the Professor had slipped
into his top coat, and was drawing on
his gloves. The men put down their
cards. The first had three kings and
pair of queens, the second. four ace:
and a king, and the third straight
flush, nine high, an almost invincible
hand.

hand-a ten-high straight flush.

4 BASHFUL BACHELOR.

A f1ch young swell,
Who knew full well
The perils of leap-year,
Went down Broadway,
the other day,
with soul distraught with fear.
He seemed afraid
Of every maid
He met upon the street;
If one din look
At him he shook,
And sought some safe retreat.
But once he stopped
And would have topped
Down on his knees in mud:
Pale with alright
He saw sight
That smote him with a thud.

With golden hair
And eyes OF deepest blue,
A modest maid.
Demure and staid,

An Elaborate Piano.
TorouS, Mail.l


One Of the most elaborate pianos ever
made has just been completed at New York
for :Mr. George Stephen. president of the
Canadian Pacific Railway company 1t
was designed by the Canadian architect
who planned Mr.. Stephens house at Mon
treal. The piano is built Of the satinwood
of South ArAcrica, finished in different
styles. to produce contrasting effects. The
case proper is made of nine pieces of satin
woodworking, glued together. to form
one continuous body, which reaches from
corner to corner This is laid off in panels,
which are inlaid with rare and costly
woods of South America and bright
metal. One panel contains Tyre, the
frame of which is of tulipwood and the
strings OF metal. The vine that leads away
from it on either sides has stems of anna
ranth, its leaves of cocobola, and its leaf
skeletons of glittering metal, while the
whole has a snake wood border A sprig
of oak has its acorn cups of amaranth and
its bulbs of metal, producing the effect of
nature. The legs of the instrument arc
like arched doorways of Il palace. Each
consists of two columns of satinwood ex-
quisitely carved and inlaid, which come
together at the top TO form an arch. The
value OF the instrument is 1000.

Jokes on the "Lv Roads.

New York Commercial Advertiser1
A gentleman on the elevated railroad
few days ago enlightened a country
friend and amused score or two Of
city folks who were in hearing of his
voice, which had been raised for the oc-
casion, by explaining the origin of the
term the l. roads," as applied to the
elevated structures.
You see," he said, "that at every
curve, in turning corner, the road has
to run at right angles to itself, thus
forming letter L. That is why they
call it the L road"
A suggestion that the term was only
an abbreviation of the word elevated" !"
and might as we'll be written "the Ell
road" was lost in the laughter which
followed.
The incident reminded one person
present of another which occurred some
years back, when the Metropolitan road
did not run on Sunday.

stairway at Park place only to find the
gates closed and the ticket office de-
serted, and only the big gilt letters NJ.

"TippccanOe and Tyler Too"

Gen. Harrison, wien he was nomi-
mated by the Wings at Harrisburg in
1910, as their candidate for president,
was tall, thin, careworn old gentle
man, who had rotated from one office
into another, and who was then clerk of
the Hamilton county Ohio court. His
office was in Cincinnati, but he resided
on his farm at North Bend, few miles
lower down on tho Ohio river, in two
story house, part of which was the
original log cabin of pioneer days. This
made Baltic Payton, of Tennessee,
who carried to the general the
news of his nomination, say in speech
the next night at Cincinnati, that the
Whig candidate lived in a log cabin,
with latch-string never pulled in,
barrel of hard cider to treat his friends
and coon skins nailed over the cracks in
the wall to keep the wind away. This
led to the erection of log cabins all over
tn. country by the Wings, with 81 eeches
and songs. Some of the ''Tippecapoe
and Tyler too" glees, sung by trained
voices, with large audiences to join in
the chorus, were wonderfully effective.
Clubs were formed, uniformed in home
spun with gilt buttons bearing a log
cabin, ard IA vast majority of the peO-
pie became infected with Whig princi-
pies, singing occasionally: Ivan, Van,
Is a usCu-uD man.
