They "Tratlc Lasts"

From the Nashville (Tenn., Union.
Young ladies OF the present age and
OF many ages past have a custom,
when they meet each other, of Offering
to trade lasts" which means to tell
the one all the pretty compliments
that may have been heard about her,
In exchange for any that may have
been heard about the challenger.
Some OF the girls are very liberal and
trade for very small return, but
others will not give up their trade
or compliment unless full value is re,
ceived for it. Ii the challenged party
is very eager to get the benefit OF the
trade, she will, if not provided with a
return. have to manufacture one OF
search about in the hidden corners o
her memory to bring long-forgotten
compliment to tell her friend. To a
third party these conversations are
very amusing and brings to mind the
old conundrom, "What is that which
makes everyone sick except those who
swallow it? Answer-hattery And
SO 1t goes on, 81 heard somebody say
you were the prettiest girl in the CITY,"
"And heard friend of yours say
you had most beautiful figure and
were very stylish" "And heard some
one say he would rather talk to you
half an hour than the whole evening
with any one else" "And Iheard an.
other gentleman say you were a beauti.
full dancer" And so on, varied only
by strong pleas to know who paid
sucha compliment, which is, ofcourse,
reluctantly (?) revealed after consid,
erable banter.

WAYS of Prima Donnas.

Pauline Lucca, Baroness Won Wall
hofen, is the wife of the very man
whom, during the greater part OF her
tour in America, she kept hidden in
the hotels which she occupied at the
expense OF her manager. When cnce
asked by me, in a very polite way,
who that mysterious person was
whose hotel expenses figured in her
bills she answered: "That is part OF
my baggage. Are you not bound by
our contract for the transportation
and care OF my baggage?" Another
German prima donna, Nine. Lichtmay,
who sang here in German and Italian,
was married to Baron Garay, whose
regular daily hotel bill included two
bottles OF Chateau Latitte, one Of
Chateau d'Yquem and several oil
Veuve Cliqaot. He actually dlanls
away his poor, hard-working wife
earnings. As matter of course he
attributed to his own merit all the
success OF his lady, and never spoke
otherwise of her than as 1--WE" His
usual phrases in conversations were,
I'VE sang splendidly yesterday" we
cannot accept that part in the new
opera" eve will be sick tomorrow
md unable to sing, therefore do no,
put us on the program, Music and
Drama.

Thousands of Rattlesnakes.
Kinzua, Pa, Despatch to the New York
Herald

kinzua, Pa, Despatch to the New York
Herald.
Towering above the valleys in this
region are smaller mountains of the
Pennsylvania range. These high hills
are covered with dense forests, and
are well nigh inaccessible. Few men
other than bark peelers and hunters
ever ascend to the tops of the mount
aims. A party OF hunters from War
ren and kinzua returned from a sew
eral days hunt, during which they ex-
plored large sections OF the mountains
for the first time. Fred. Hughes, one
of the party, tells a strange story,
which is corrobor by his compan-
ions. He reports that there is a pc
cnliar body OF water on the very top
of one OF these mountains which has
no perceptible outlet or inlet. The
lake is inclosed on all sides by high
rocks on a pebbly formation The
hunting party say the water is full OF
black snakes and that many thousand
rattlesnakes were seen sporting on the
shores OF the lake and completely COW
ering the face of the high rocks which
encircle the pond. Only here and
there could patches OF the rock be seen
for the squirming mass OF reptiles.
Hughes says that when disturbed on
these occasions by the presence ofman,
instead of running away the snakes in
concert would raise their ugly heads
and hiss till the air seemed to fairly
seethe. Then all in chorus would set
up rattling that sounded like tons
of shot poured on a plate of sheet
iron, and the echoes of which, rever-
berating between the huge powders,
would agitate the lake as ifswept over
by a storm,

Poi.

Sacramento (Cal.) News.
l have spoken OF poi. But what is
it? some OF your readers may inquire.
Briefly, it is the Hawaiian's staff of
life. Without poi a Hawaiian would
not find life worth living. Give him
poi and with an occasional allowance
OF raw fish as a dessert, no matter
what may happen he is happy. He
will take it three times day and
oitener if he can get it, and every day
in the year, and always with equal Il
not increased relish.
Poi is made from the root of the
kalo or arum esculentum. This root,
which is about the size and shape OF a
large beet, is baked in an underground
oven and then pounded i'll a hollow
stone or board mixed with water
until it has the consistency ofprinter's
paste. 1t is next laid aside for a few
days and allowed to ferment. When

Protection Tor the Lungs.

Popular Science News.
Mr.. James Hess makes very SEN
sible suggestion, in the Herald of
Health, when he calls attention to the
absurdity of our present curious hab-
it OF wearing cambric-b back vests, while
the fronts are of heavy material and
sometimes wadded, and urges thepro-
priety OF protection for both sides OF
the lungs. The habit, of course, has
grown from a belief that the outer
coat is sufficient protection for the
back, while the chest needs warmer
covering, on account OF the coat being
open. But it seems a disproval OF tho
reasoning that the first unpleasant
sensations OF chiiliness are the So
called "creepers" running down the
spine. Even when the warmest wool
en- material is selected for a suiting,
the tailor, unless otherwise ordered,
will invariably make the back OF the
vest ofsome thin, himsy material, like
cambria or silk, though he may deem
it advisable to pad the front with
cotton wadding. There is no proper
be made so insufficient. The front
may be made uncomiortably thick,
and still fail to protect the lungs un-
less the back is made equally thick
and warm. In front they are protect
ed about five times as much as in the
back by clothing, ribs, flesh, muscle.
and fat. In the back the lungs come
almost to the surface, and therefore
need more protection. Mr.. Hess as
serts that it has been his custom for
two years past, and that many gen.
tlemen to whom he has mentioned
the matter have had their vests made
with good, warm backs, and after
winters trial are quite enthusiastic
over the change.
They have passed through the en-
tire winter and spring without once
taking cold, which is the best evidence
in support OF the thick vest-back prop
osition that could be adduced.

An Orthodox vane.

The Boston Evening Record vouch.
es for the truth of the following story:
Some time ago the Pawtucket ortho.
dox church was in need OF some re.
pairs and embellishments, and car.
penter was sent aloft to patch up the
steeple and put it in thoroughly good
shape. The reluctance OF the weather
vane to record the changes OF the wind
had long been proverbial in the town,
and the carpenter climbed clear up to
see if he could find out what was the
matter with it. What was his aston
ishment to discover that screw had
been put through, apparently in re-
cent years, in such a way as to i'm
pinge upon the pivot and prevent the
vane from turning except under very
great pressure.
The carpenter was astonished that
such an attempt should bedeliberate-
ly made to cripple the church vane
and impair it's usefulness, but he
thought before he removed the screw
he would report the matter ana see
whether by any chance it had been
put there by any authority. So he
appealed to Deacon X, the most
prominent member OF the board oi
trustees, and told him the discovery
Have you any idea how the screw
came there, deacon?" the carpenter
asked in closing his story.
"Yes, have" said the deacon.
