THE WRONG SIDE OF AN UMBRELLA.
walk speak well for the tonic air of the
ocean. Most of them love the water,
and when they bathe they breast tho
waves with q grace and ease that would
do credit to Cape Cod fisherman. Many
young man who thinks himself a good
swimmer has been misled by their charm
ing simplicity. In bravely sallies forth
into the surf hand in hand with some
fair one, and after the waves have toyed
with him for ten or fifteen minutes he
crawls up tho sand in o half conscious
state. while the young woman has but be-
gun to enjoy IL. His highest ambition is
to get into the conventional clothes Of
seaside civilization once more, But he is
told that it is the proper and only thing
to stay in the water for an hour, and in
obedience 20 the feminine edict he stays
and shivers and as he clings to the life
line like grim death he hears above the
roar Of the breakers Something like this:
"Ohl amt 1t -- funI How
do you like the water2 It's
- lovely. Don't you think so?"
"D-d-don't it make your t.t-teeth ch
chchatter2" he feebly asks.
And then she laughs at him.
1t is not every young man who can en-
dure with equanimity that girlish laugh
1t shrivels up within him what little
soul the waters have left, and he retlres
from the waves with a grim sense that
he has made a guy of himself, but he is
comforted afterward by the remark that
he will make good swimmer in time"

The great trysting place for lovers is

protects them alike from the gaze of

sun. With nothing but the long line Of
water to meet their gaze and only the
rhythmical roar of the breakers TO disturb
their hearing, they linger through the
old old story. What tragedies, what
comedies, what romances have been
enacted under the shade of old umbrellas

The Ethics of Il.

A shoe clerk in St. Louis store
thus philosophers about feminine GUS
toners: If woman asks for a
certain rumber of shoe the experience
ed clerk will not 90 away and get the
size. He will take of her shoe and
have a look at her foot, from which
he can tell at a glance just what will
fit her. Get one that will make her
foot feel comfortable and that will
look nice, and she purchases at once.
If you take her word for the number
the chances are that you will be de.
ceived, for woman has an unaccount-
able objection to telling her exact
number, even it ii is in the threes.
A green clerk Soon learns this little
popularity after he has shown every.
thing in the store to several who will
not buy. Another rule with women
is not to show them too much. Let
them see several nice things and their
choice Is easy, If they are suited. but
show them your whole stock and
they will want to see more. / find
that ladies are not so given to cramp.
ing their feet as formerly, so as to
make them seem smaller. Young
misses still do that, but women of
the world are not so willing to in
jure their feet. The introduction of
English styles has done this. for En-.
glist ladies always wear comfortable
shoes, regardless Of tight fit."

Ills x Mark"
The Working Bow.


The use of the cross mark in sigma
ture in early days was not confined
to illiterate persons, for among the
Saxons the mark of tho cross is an
attestatlon of good faith of the person
signing. 1t was required to be attached
to the signature of those who could
write, as we'll as to stand in tho place
of the signature of those who could
not. In those times If g. man could
write or read his knowledge was con-
si'1ered proof presumptive that he
was in holy orders. The clericus or
clerk was Synonymous with penman,
and the laity, or people who were
clerks, did not teel any urgent necessl-
ty for the use OF letters. The ancient
use of the cross was therefore univer.
sal alike by those who could and those
who could not write. 1t was. indeed,
the symbol of an oath from it's sacred
associations, as well as the moro gen.
orally adopted. Hence the origin OF
the expression "God save the mark, -
as q form of ejaculation approaching
the character of an oath.

It is that impurity in tho blood, which, accumu-

Wonders Of Machinery.

Chambsrs's Journal.
A continuance may be seen in the
rooms OF the Royal Microscopical So
ciety, the envention of Mr.. Peters,
which enables it's user to write with
such marvellous mlnuteness as no one
unaware OF the existence of the ma.
chine would believe to be possible.
Tho mechanism consists OF series of
levers supported by four brass rods,
and into the centre of these levers q
pencil is screwed which points to a.
sheet OF paper placed on a plate below.
Above is q very fine diamond point
which touches a sheet or glass and
transmits to it in wonderfully reduced
form any writing done by the opera
tor with the pencil beneath.
The writing on glass is quite invis-
IDLE to the naked eye, but strong
microscope will show the Lord g pray.
er written legibly within the compass
OF one ten:thousandth part OF a
square inch.
Mr.: Webb, who made special study
OF this ingenious machine, succeeded
in writing the entire Bible, which con.
tains 3,566,48 letters, within the
space OF q square inch, ana by con-
tlnuous practice he attained such pro.
fc,ency that he was able to tr an.
scribe the Bible no fewer than fifty
nine times within the same small com.
pass.

War and Taxation,

The factors that have been concern
ed in effecting these economic changes
and accompanying disturbances are
not, however. simple, but some what
numerous and complex. They, never.
theless, admit, it is believed. of clear
recognition and statement. In the
first place, the results of the Franco
German Wharf.-The radical changes in
the character and construction OF
war ornaments since that period,
and the continual augmentation OF
permanent military forces, have en-.
tailed upon all the states of Europe
since 1873 continually increasing ex-
penditures and Indebtedness; and in
direct taxation, by means of duties
on imports, to meet these increasing
financial burdens, has been found to
be most in accord with the maxim at.
tribuced to Colbert. that the per-
lection of taxation consists in 80

feathers with the least possible

Frank Howard, the singer and com

Frank Howard, the singer and com
poser, who is in Dockstader's minstrel
company, relates a charming little
story concerning the inspiration
that caused him to write the song
"Only a Pansy Blossom" He had
gone to Greeley, Iowa. accompanied
by his wife, to see about buying a
farm for a homestead. They walked
through some lovely meadow land
that they liked, and in one of the
winding paths through the tall grass
Mrs. Howard fingered. "What are you
picking?" the singer called. "Only q
pansy blossom" was the answer. Out
OF her expression grew the idea OF the
song, and the royalties the composer
received almost paid for the farm.
and he now has a garden on the spot
where his wife found the pansy BIOS

The Source of Dramatic Merit

Fanny Davenport says that those
who imagine the so-called "born actor,
and actresses" have not cultivated
with an indefatigable assiduity the
talents he or she possess from nature
have a very imperfect knowledge of
the source of the merit which so as
tonishes them. Rachel worked and
struggled to gain the goal-hour after
hour, day after day, information,
pauses, declamation-all she studied
step by step with her master, Samson.
Not one effect that delighted and cleo.
trified her audiences but was studied
and tried and studied again. OF her.
self Miss Davenport says: MY best
results have been through my greatest
study and work. Many a night have
I cried myself to sleep. unable to reach
an effect or make q certain point.
There have been times when certain
roles have been as close to me, aud
even after repeated rehearsals remain
ed a blank and became wholly des-
pondent, when, all at once, the veil fell
from my eyes and seemed to realize
the character and its possibilities"

The Number of the Stars,

1ullaOelpnla RECORD.
In some remarkable mathematical
observations by M. Hermite concern.
ing the number of stars, he shows that
the total number visible to the naked
eye of an observer of average visual
power does not exceed six thousand,
and of these the southern hemisphere
contains somewhat the larger num-
Der. In order to see this number of
stars the night must be moonless, the
sky cloudless and the atmosphere
pure, and here the power OF the un-
aided eye stops; an opera glass will
bring out 10000, while q small te!e.
scope will bring out at least $50, 200.
and the most powerful telescopes yet
constructed will show more than
100, 100000. NJ. Hermite concludes
from his various observations that
the light emitted by all the stars
upon the whole surface OF the globe is
equal to one-tenth of the light of the
full moon.
