round in the alornment which graces
the handles. These are oval, and ir
the spoons each contains an excellent
miniature of queen Of France. The
handles of the forks each display an

The highest point of interest in these
utensils is the fact that they were
made by the court jeweler for the
Empress Josephine, and were only used
on state occasions at the TuiIerie5.
Hence they recall memories of tho oil
empire, when Napoleon entertained
his marshals and other magnates OF
Europe with the brilliance of his
short-lived grandeur.
On the downfall of Napoleon the

Pensacola, who retained them as long
as possible lie was, however, event

they became the property of Mrs
George Willis, of Virginia, who sole

How strange it must have seemed tc

were once used by the greatest Europe

queen. How suggestive of the fate OF
both - the one dying in exile, while the
other, having lived to see the downfall
of her faithless husband, expired
peacefully in that retirement which
soothed her last days.

"1'he Most Clever Woman i'm Washing

Madame de Strive, the wife of the
Russian Minister, is called "the most
clever woman in Washing ton." Her
ready command Of languages. espe-
cially the English, and her memory of
faces and names, would make her
popular almost anywhere. She is not
beautiful, and seems to have an utter
disregard Of fine clothes. Small, thin
and slight, she has not the figure to
"show off, fine toilets. Her face is
without color, but not pale. 1t sug,
gests the gray tones Of a picture,
which rest, fascinate and hold the
observer, till what at Gcjt seems plain
and unattractive, becomes beautiful.
SO Madame de Strive attracts and
fascinates all ages. Young people are
fond of her, and 60 to her house, MOI
rs they 60 TO other receptions, 10 see

brilliant attainments find in her con-
versation equal fascination, an |, what

read in books, but she is thoroughly
informed on everyday events chroni-
cled in the daily press, whether of q
political or social nature. Tn? marvel
is that SO busy woman can find time
for her children. But the six little
faxen-haired Russian, are not given
over to the nurse. On fine days they
fill wagonet, and Madam &c Strive
herself drives them out. A part o.
each day she spends with them in the
nursery, and it is here, while telling
stories and singing nursery rhymes, il
is said, that "the cleverest woman il
Washington" is most clever.

Curious jewelry is much affected
just now. Some persons pride them
selves on having their jewelry made
TO order from special designs, which
are generally destroyed after use. In
this way each one secures something
unique. Plain bone bracelets, clasped
with a battered coin, rings set with
them, pins headed with them are al
the rage. Gentlemen take a special
fancy to them for sleeve buttons and
scarf pins, while the ladies wear them
as chatelaines and clasps wherever
they can be utilized. A heavy convex
hoop of dead gold is new notion for
wedding-rings. Engagement rings
are of infinite variety; but whatever
style, the lancee, ought never to make
the vulgar mistake Of wearing the ring
Oh the forelinger, which was once the
fashion. 1t should be worn on lhc
third finger of the left hand, and usu-
ally the wedding ring is afterward
placed over it as a guard. 1t is the
proper thing to have motto in ones
engagement and wedding rings, yet
some very stylish people do not have
rings at all. Lockets, pendants, or
bracelets are often substituted Jew

Ia The Sun Blue?

It may be asked, what suggested the idea
that the sun may be blue rather than any
other color' My own attention was first d.
rected this way many years ago, when meas
uring the heat and light from different parts of
the suns disk. 1t is known that the sun has
an atmosphere of its own, which tempers its
heat, and by cutting off certain radations and
not others, produces the spectral lines we
are all familiar with. These lines we customa
ry study in connection with the absorbing..va-
pors of sodium, iron and so forth, which pro-
duce them; but my own attention was particu-
larly given to the regions Of absorption, or to
the color it caused; and found that the suns
body must be deeply blush, and that it would
shed blue light except for this apparently COL
orless atmosphere which really plays the part
Of reddish vail, letting little OF the blue APP
pear on the center OF the suns disk where 1t Is
the thinnest, and staining the edge red, SO that
to delicate tests the center of the sun is pale
aquamarine and its edge garnet. The effect
l found to be SO Important that If this all but
invisible solar atmosphere was diminished by
but third part the temperature of the British
islands would rise above that of the Torrid
zone and this directed my attention to the
great practical importance OF studying the &C.
ton OF our own terrestrial atmosphere on the
sun, and the antecedent probability that our
own air was also and Independently making
the really blue sun into an apparently white

A Washington letter to the Cleveland Leader
says: l heard curious story In regard to the
well-known song,
"No one to love! none to caress!
Travelling alone through LIES wilderness" etc.
The author of this song lives here in Wash
ington, and be boards at hotel within square
or SO of the White House. He is now man OF
perhaps forty, and he wrote the song many
wears ago. He was in love with beautiful
girl and tine day was fixed for their marriage.
In the interval between the engagement and this
day, the war broke out and the young man en-
listed. He was on the field when the time ap-
preached fer the wedding. 1t was on the eve
Of a great battle, and that the first battle in
which the young man WAS 70 take part. He
wrote to bis sweetheart asking her to postpone
the marriage until after the fight. This she re-
fused to do and said il he did not return and
keep bis part of the agreement she would con-
slider the engagement off. The young man pre-
ferred to trust to luck in regard to the engage
ment to being considered a coward in running
away from his first battle, and remained on the
field. His lady love, however, was 20 piqued
at the refusal that she persisted in her rejection
with the feeling of the desertion, the rejected
wrote the song which has had such wide run.
He not only wrote the song but be remained
true to his fret love, and for some time, the
story goes, he has been living here with MS
mother. Not long ago, however, bis love
husband died, and since that time he has re-
newed the acquaintance OF the widow, who,
though older than when be went to the war, Is
still charming. The old fame has, 1t is said,
revived in the fair widows breast, and there is
fair prospect OF a match.
