GATHERINGS Quaint Set of Rules.

There is the winter palace, and what
thoughts does this give rise to. Within
one is the Romanoff portrait gallery,
where this sees the tablet upon which
are the rules that Catherine enforced at
her conversation. These are quaint,
and here is the tradition of them:
l. Leave your rank outside, as well
as your hat, and especially your sword.
2. Leave your right of precedence,
your pride and any similar feeling out
side the door.
3. Be gay, but do not spoil anything /;
do not break or gnaw anything.
4. Sit, stand, walk as you will, with
out reference to anybody.
5. Talk moderately, and not very
loud, so as not to make the ears and
heads of others ache.
6. Argue without anger and without
excitement.
7. Neither sigh nor yawn, nor make
anybody dull or heavy.
8. In all innocent games, whatever
one proposes, let all join.
9. Eat whatever is sweet and savory,
but drink with moderation, so that each
may find his legs on leaving the room.
10. Tell no tales out of school what
ever goes in at one ear must go out at
the other before leaving the room.

How Candles Are Made.

In o lecture at the London Health
Exhibition recently Mr.. Leopold Field
gave some information about the man.
ufacture of candles. He was of the
opinion that spermaceti was probably
the best material for candle making,
but it was rare, and therefore costly, as
compared with other substances which
we're available. Describing the process
of making wax candles, the lecturer
SAID that owing to the nature of the
substance it was impossible to make
them by machinery. They had to be
dipped and trimmed again and again
until the required size was obtained
whether that of a large church candle,
weighing twenty-eight pounds and
worth $75, or one so small that 400
would weigh pound and four were
sold for cent. Speaking of what had
been done for this industry by M. Chew
reul, he said that inventor was still
alive, and would, he hoped, see the
evening of his Tooth anniversary illum-
mated by the lights he had called forth
from the once nasty and disagreeable
talloW.

aged from the beginning. Of all the
stations established as result of the
international polar conference only
one--that selected by the United States
and occupied by Greely-was beyond
the line OF safety. The Swedish station
was in nearly the same latitude, but it
could be easily reached in summer. In
three years out of four Fort Conger is
inaccessible. Those who attempted to
reopen communication with Greedy
were handicapped by the carelessness
and stupidity of the chief signal officer,
General Hazen, who has retained his
position in the face OF the severe casti-
cation of courts of inquiry and of his
superior officers. 1t has been conclu-
sively shown that the failure of the
Darlington expedition was caused by
his miserable plumbers. Upon him
rests, in a large measure, the RESPONSE
bility for the deaths of seventeen brave
men who would now probably be alive
and well if that expedition had been
successful.

An Early Wr1ting-Paper.


Many centuries before Christ, Numa
left writings upon the papyrus, whence
our name, paper, is derived. This
plant, which was revered as sacred by
the old Egyptians, grows abundantly
in shallow streams and marshes in up
per Egypt and Syria. Bruce found it
growing in the River Jordan, and no.
ticed q curious fact, that it always pre-
sented the sharp, angular side of its
pear-shaped stem to the swill current.
The stem is eight or ten feet high, two
inches in diameter, and crowned with a
fringe of hair-like leaves, which circle
blossom of slender spikelets. Be-
meath the brown sheath which envelopes
the root-stalk of this dark-green plant
lie other sheathes which are very trans
parent. These, when split into thin
leaves and dried in the sun, were glued
together, and formed the roll of papy-
rus, on which many of the ancient writ
ings have come to us. This paper was
both flexible and durable. Specimens
from Pompeii can be seen in the mus
cum at Naples. In the fifth century
paper, of which many varieties
existed, was largely manufactured at
and ranked high in the
commerce of nations. Its use contin-
ued until about seven or eight centuries
ago.

regret that you have been reading Bow
Legged Jake, or the Road Agents Re-
treat 1t is not good book, my son,
and continued perusal of such litera-

lance that such callings bring to those
who pursue them when there are such
grand opportunities for youth, energy

that book aside and be patient, my
son, and in time yon may be able to
steal the entire capital of great bank.

The United States now has no living
colonists in the ice of the north. After
years of adventure and suffering and
anxiety the field is clear. Let it remain
so. Not even when it is played under
favorable conditions is the game worth
the candle. The discoveries made by
our explorers and observers in an I'M
inhabitable region are but dust in the
balance when weighed against the I'M
ending sorrows of bereaved families,
the misery of broken homes, the horri-
BILE sufferings of so many worthy men
and the grief of a nation. Let there be
an end of this folly.

Decay of Mr.. Storey's Mind.

tnicago news, July IL.
Mr.. Andrew Anderson, lawyer of
South Bend, Ind, and the husband of
one of the four heirs of the estate of
Wilbur F. Storey, said yesterday that
the great journalist was complete
wreck, physically and mentally. Since
marrying his young wife, Mr.. Anderson
said, Mr.. Storey had become completely
estranged from his relatives, and his
perceptive faculties had become so weak
that he could not tell man from a
doorpost. The petition filed in the Pro-
bate court on Wednesday for the ap-
pointment of a conservator for Mr.
SLorey's estate had been brought about
by the report that Mrs. Storey intended
to take personal control of the Chicago
Times, making her nephew, Benjamin
Lamb, very young man, manager of
the business. The heirs thought that
ruin would follow such an action. She
had interfered already in the manage
ment of the newspaper, and had ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the present
business manager and with the editor
in-chief. There was a mortgage of
about $145, 900 on the Times building,
but none on the newspaper itself. Mr..
Storey owed about 100000. He had
spent S226,000 on his palace on the
boulevard, and an outlay of $4,000
more would be necessary to complete
it. His estate was considered worth
100000 above all debts. The only
object of the heirs asking for conser-
vator was to prevent the squandering
of Mr.. Storey's property during lis life
time. Messrs. A. D. Patterson and G.. |
r. bennett, business manager and
editor respectfully of the Times, said
that they understood that Mrs. Storey
proposed making radical changes in the
of the newspaper. They |
said they had taken no part in the late |
move of Mr.. Storey's heirs. Mrs Storey |
declined to say anything about the mat

A GERMAN WEDDING.
The Picturesque Ceremonies Attending a
Marriage in the Fatherland.

Baltimore Sun.
The village church, where the wed
ding took place, is on the top of little
craggy hill. The church is very old,
built of gray stone, with a square tower
and an old-shaped belfry. The stony
path led through the graveyard to the
church door. The chime of bells rang
out with decorous joy. "Let all
things be done decently and in order,'
they seemed to ring; "not too fast; we
are staid people aud take time for all
things" The interior of the church
was cold and severe-looking, the walls
whitewashed, but the galleries painted
pink and blue. The long, narrow win
dows seemed set in stone arches. so
thick was the wall. The pulpit above
the altar was as high up as the gale.
ries, so that the minister breaches far
above the heads of his flock. On one
side of the altar hung portrait of
Luther; on the other of Melanchthon.
The wedding took place at midday.
First came troop of little girls, each
carrying in her hand tiny punches of
flowers. The little things with their
braided hair Ono hats) and dresses al
most touching the floor, looked as
quaint and demure as the little women
in the old-fashioned picture books.
Next came the bride and one brides
maid, then three bridesmaids walking
together, lastly the groom and grooms-
men. The bride and bridesmaids en-
ter a pew to the left, the groom and
party on the right. All knelt in prayer.
Then the bride went by herself to the
altar, laid on one side white silk
handkerchief, a sprig of rosemary and
q lemon! l wondered to myself if the
lemon was emblematic of the sourness
of married life. l noticed that there
was on the other side of the altar an
other white silk handkerchief, sprig of
rosemary and Bible. The choir sang
quite long hymn. The minister went
up in the pulpit and preached a sermon
of about twenty minutes. The choir |
sang another hymn. A little boy placed |
a long, low stool before the altar. The |
decended, the bride joined the
groom at the altar, the bridesmaids and |
groomsmen remaining in the pews.
At the close of the ceremony the |
presented the groom with a
new bible. The choir sang still an
other hymn. Then the bride returned |
to her pew and the groom to his and
said their prayers, after which the
groom and groomsmen left the church
and were not joined by the bride until
hey were quite out in the churchyard.
It seems the silk handkerchiefs, lemon
and rosemary on one side of the altar
we're for the minister. On the other
he gift was for the organist.

Seven Wise Men Raffied.

The New York Morning Journal says
that Mrs. F. G.. Kellogg, so f. S5th
ST., was partially paralyzed, and lay
for seven days in commissions. Phys
icians were engaged and discharged
until seven had failed to help or cure
her She was unable to leave her bed,
and was as helpless as a child. After
using all sorts of salves, ointments,
lotions and plasters her case was given
up as hopeless. She was induced to try
st. Jacobs Oil as last chance. She
began to improve from the time the
first application was made, and by its
continued use she has completely re-
