A correspondent writes of a singular in

antiques. This is not craft of deception,
but of hopes and genuine imitation. carried

Naples. NJ. de Calnne, the correspondent
describes the work as little less than mar
Vicious. Those old vases and water jars of
Herculaneum and Capua were initiated with
the utmost perfection of ingenuity. The
design and the coloring is complete in its
archaic vraisemblance. The figures are cut
in black against dark red ground, and of
them NJ. de Calonne says: "In any museum
should have taken these modern potteries
for vases of Capua of Herculaneum."
But the psychological curiosity of this
work is that the artist firmly believes him

was a Theosophist, and believed he had

A Knot of Blue.

She hath no gems Of luster bright
To sparkle In her hair;
No need hath she of borrowed light
To make her beauty fair:
Upon her shining locks afioat
Are daisies wet with dew,
And peeping from her lissome throat
A little knot Of blue.
A dainty knot Of blue,
A ribbon blithe of hue
1t fills my dreams with sunny gleamA
That little knot of blue.

Beneath the apple tree,
The balmy blossoms fell like rain
Upon my love and me;
And what said or what I did

But to my breast there came and hid

A little knot of blue,
A love-knot strong and true
Twill hold nv heart till life shall part,

Awed by an Ear Trumpet.

Some years ago well known Presby-
terrain divine was spending his summer
vacation with his family in the Adrion-
dacks. One Sunday he accepted an in
vitation to preach in one of the simple
meeting houses of that region. In the
congregation was man who appa-
rently was very deaf, for he came to
the service armed and equipped with
an immense brass ear trumpet, and as
soon rs the sermon began went forward
and took his seat wen up on the pull.

daughter was among the auditors; she
had never seen an ear trumpet, and
the spectacle of the form on the pulpit
stairs steadily holding that instrument
TO his head filed her with awe and
wonder. On her way home from
church the first thing she said to her
father when they were alone was:
Papa. was that an archangel by

Teaching the Beaux.

A certain young lady living in Wash
ington earns fine salary by teaching
American small talk to those young
attaches who are great beaux in so
ciety. Her plan is simple enough. Her
pupil calls, is received, and converses
with his hostess teacher for two hours.
The talk is confined to drawing-room
topics. This wicked young teacher
taught six young fellows precisely the
same round of pretty and witty phrases,
and at certain grand ball they were
lowering around Miss Daisy Ricketts,,
one of the youngest and most popular
of the Washington girls. and each and
every one was saying the same things
to her.-Rashington Correspondence
