death loves a shining mark" This time
it chose as n victim, Eta, last daughter of
John Utter, who died of consumption Tues
day night, the 18th inst, aged seventeen
years, nine months and six days. Funeral
services were held at the Congregational
Church in Lawrence, on Friday, conducted
by the pastor of the Nj. +. Church. The re-
mains were deposited in the Lawrence GEM
etery. Eta was lovely young lady, beloved
by all who knew her, and q general fayorite
in the family. 1t has been known for some
time that her days were short, and a loving
father and brothers ministered to her every
want, until the final summons came which
snapped the brittle thread of life, and she
found rest at last. She was perfectly re-
signed. talked calmly with the family, and
told them she thought it was best that she
should die young. Since the death of her
mother. four years ago, Eta has filled her
place as housekeeper, when her health would
permit. This seems q double affection to
the bereaved father, and many friends ex
tend their heartfelt sympathies in this hour
of great need. Not lost but gone before.

When the ladies would leave him
alone. which was not often. John was
good comradc and bon vivant. He
liked. above all things. practical joke.
A couple of years ago he struck up u
great friendship with President Arthur
and his set in Washington, and was
the life OF the table ut all the diplomat
ic stag parties. About that time Gus
Williams was poisoning out from the
variety 10 tho regular stage, and had
acquired considerable reputation as a
general raconteur of funny conceits
and sprightly after-dipner wit.
Mccullough. who had suffered from
several practical jokes played on him
by tho Dutch comedian, determined to
take him down and nip his reputation
in the bud. He took John L. Ray
mond, Jim Collier. and the political
coterie of Washington into his conf
dence, and the game was perfected.
The president gave little dinner
party, and, among others, Gus Will
liams was invited. 1t was impressed
on him that he was celebrated at the
white house As a very funny fellow,
and he was expected to keep the table
in roar. He said nothing, but Sc
cretly laid himself out to do it. He
reported at the dinner table with a
choice budget OF original witicisms.
which he was sure could not fail to
make great effect when he got a
chance to fire them of.
The dinner passed very merrily, but
whenever Williams attempted to get
off Joke he was sure to be interrupt
ed by either Mccullough or Raymond
before the point of the joke could be
brought out At last, however, there
was lull, and he couldn't be STAYED
of any longer. He began story.
The whole party listened with great
gravity. The wag proceeded in his
best style, working it up to the laugh
ing point. The story was good one,
but they all preserved their equanimity
and listened without n smile. When
the climax came and the joker stopped
there was q dead silence.
well, what them" asked McCul-
Tough, after painful pause.
That's all of the story" replied
Williams. sadly.
The tragedian gave him plying
look, and, exchanging glances with
the other actors. changed the subject.
Later the wit took heart again and
tried on q new story, but the result
was the same, and Williams noticed
that the whole party cast looks of pity
and astonishment at him. He grew
secretly mad and desperate at this,
and tried frequently, but still in vain,
to make point. Not laugh did he
get that night.
Afterward, on the way home, Nc
Cullough talked with the wit in a
fatherly way.
You made terrific exhibition of
yourself tonight, my boy" he said.
"You need rest. and you'll take it if
you are wise. Your brain is going.
There's too much strain upon it, in
venting jokes for years for your per-
formances. He insisted on seeing the
joker home and tucking him in bed,
and then sent three doctors TO him, at
his own expense, to the great discom-
future of the funny man. Chicago

When Making a Call.

Where do people wish to sit down
when they make IL call? Near their
hostess. What arrangement suits a
small company who might prove con-
genial friends if they had any oppor-
tunity really to discover each otherp
Nearer together, not at points equally
distant from a common centre. Shall
an atlectionate family sit Indian fashion
around the edges of their home, each
in his OWN fixed place? The result is
certain to be Indian silence and mon
otony. Put down in black and white,
such questions seem too frivolous for
consideration, but, in fact, they arise
daily in multitudes of homes. Chairs
being 10 sit in, it follows that the use
for which the room is intended is the
first question To DC asked. The par
lor, which in most families is the quiet
corner where II guest may spend an
uninterrupted haif-hour during "a So
cial call, needs some casy-chairs, lest
the wearied visitor never comes again;
but it still needs more light chairs
more than one--that can easily be
moved about. Whether the easy
chairs are cane-seated rockers OF plush
divans, their positions cannot readily
be changed, while the light chair that
can be taken in the hand and carried
from one corner 10 the other will fur
Dish the opportunity for sociability two
or three times in u single call perhaps.
1t must be chair that can be carried;
1t is not enough that it roll on casters,
for is is still clumsy and heavy, and the
effort necessary 10 alter its position
will often prevent the change alto
gether.
This is not the battle. however. The
original arrangement of tho furniture
is like the disposition of troops. 1t is
here that the hostess shows her knowl-
edge of human nature and her exper-
fence of society. A clever woman, to
whom the great world was second

always observed how the chairs were
people had been sitting and pat
them in the same position next
time. This is the secret of success
with chairs. Dispose them SO that per-
sous who fall into them shall sit down
in the place most natural and satisfac-
tory. Arrange a group OF chairs near the
door where the casual caller will drop In
to one and the hostess into another, and

sitting near together will yet be placed
