A Partisan Color Custom.

Business people in Paris have long since
formed color speech, by which certain
trades arc easily recognized. First OF all,
the color shops are distinguished by
being painted outside in squares and
stripe, of the most brilliant colors. Vi
enucse leather, bronze and trinket shops
have begun to use the Austrian colors,
yellow and black; then the Spanish wine
shops use yellow and red: the Italians,
green. white and red. The business places
Where furniture carts for removal are kept
are painted yellow, as well Us the wagons
why, not even the praprictors know.
Pastry shops arc light brown outside
and within white aud gold, so that one
is reminded of the pastry itself.
Milk shops are white and blue, both
inside and out. The washerwomen now
bcrin to paint the outside of their ironing
shops bright blue, while the carts that
take tho linen to the washhouscs in the
country arc bright green. Warehouses;
are all painted brown or dull red, which
is exactly the color of the vim crdinalIc
mixed with cranberry juice and logwood;;
Still darker is the color of the charcoal
shops, which the dust soon renders com
pletely black. Bakers are fond of light
brown and white, with much gliding
and large mirrors. Court Journal.

Strange Uses Of Some GravestOnes.

Nothing goes on in an uninterrupted
career in this world, however, and even
gravestones come now and then to strange
uses. In village in Maine, for instance,
a farmer, having waxed in fortune until
he was able to replace the slate grave
stones in his family burial lot by marble
ones, was too thrifty to throw the old
slabs away. lie therefore utilized them
as door-stones, so that all visitors to the
kitchen and dairy trod upon inscriptions
gradually fading away, which, with
scriptural phrase and the cheerful over
seeing of triangular -visaged cherubs, re-
corded the names, the virtues and the
untimely taking off of the forefathers OF
the thrifty farmer.
In another Maine village is, or was,
boarding school for young ladies, in the
kitchen of which a large white marble slab,
sacred to the memory OF worthy woman,
whom it described as having died in the
Lord, was used as kncading- board. Now
and then loaf of bread after it was
nodded would rest for moment or two
on the deeply cut inscription, and the
pupils averred-how truthfully the edi-
tor makes no pretense of being able to
determine-that they had been able to
dccipher bits of the words printed on the
bottom of the slices of bread.
But, perhaps, the most remarkable
fate for tombstone was that which be-
fell the moss grown slab in an English
church-yard. An American parvenu Of
the same family name as that Of the man
whose death the stone recorded, pur-
chased the stone of a dishonest sexton and
brought it home with her. I: is now set
in into the wall of her sumptuously APP
pointed New York library, beside tc-
titious pedigree, which Les to all lie
holders by tracing the family Of the
present owner back 10 that Of the man
whose name is on the stone. As he has
been dead 10 years, he is probably be-
yond caring for such things, else Mrs.
Parvenu might have good reaso to ex-
pect a call from his ghost some night,
come to reclaim his gravcstone.-BostOn

Preacher and Sailor.

A story of Theodore Parker, which the
Listener believes has never been in print,
was told him by venerable gentleman
prominent in free religious circles:
MANY years ago." said the narrator OF
the incident, 'about the time when
Larker began to preach in Music Hall, I
wis called upon one day by a Yankee
sailor, who was good deal of thinker
on religious subjects, and who took an
interest when he was in port, in hearing
the leading religious orators speak, and
in visiting the places where free thought
was expressed. 1t may seem strange
now that q common sailor should fire.
ouent the lecture rooms, but this was in
a day when there were more sailors than
there are now, and when the majority of
them were of a different type from the
one that prevails nowadays. Well, this
sailor told me that he had not only been
to hear Parker, but had visited him in
his study the day after he had heard the
sermon. Parker was interested in the
man, and asked him what he thought of
his sermons.
"'The sermon was frst-rate, Mr..
Parker said the sailor, 'but I didn't
care so much for the prayer
"'What was there about the prayer
that you didn't likei' asked Parker.
Now, Theodore Parker had way, as
you may remember, of making pretty
long prayers, and of embodying the
Lords Prayer in them, every Sunday.
He closed his prayer generally with the
Lords Praye. So he might have guessed
what the sailor was coming to when he
answered:
"I know it was from the Bible, MIR.
Parker. that sentence in your prayer
that didn't like; but I don't like it, oil
the same"
"'Well, what sentence was it!'
"'It was where you prayed the Lord
not to lead US into temptation. Now,
do you suppose, Mr.. Parker that the
Lord would lead us int, temptation7'
"Theodore Parker remained silent for
a moment, and then said:
" No, my good man; don't behave
he would
Z" Then, said the sailor, 4 wouldn't
pray to him not to do it.
"The sailor left the great liberal. 1t
was some weeks after the incident that
the sailor called upon me. I was curious
to see for myself whether he had
told the truth, and I went to hear MIR.
Parker the next Sunday at Music Hall
to see whether he had changed his prac.
tice with regard to the prayer, and found
that the sailors criticism had, indeed,
made its impression"
"Did he cease repeating the Lords
prayer2" asked the Listener2'
"No, but he repeated it with a varia-
ton. Instead of saying: Lead us not
into temptation he said, Lead US from
temptation, and he continued to use that
form, l ain sure, as long as he lived. -

How to Make q Large Poultice.

A flannel bag should be prepared, .
convenient size being twelve inches by.
eight. This should be closed at three
edges and open at the fourth. One side
of it should be about one inch, or one
inch and half longer than the other
and it is convenient also to have four
tapes attached at the points which form
the corners when the bag is closed, IN
order to keep the poultice in position:
Besides this, another strip of flannel
should be prepared, of the same breadth
as the length Of the bag, and long
enough to wrap around it once, or
oftener. Crushed linseed, bowl and.
spoon should then be got together, and
the spoon and bowl thoroughly heated
by means of boiling water; the poultice
should then be made with perfectly boil
ing water. and rather soft. As soon a.
it is ready it should be poured into the
bag, previously warmed by holding 1t
before the fire; the flap, which is formed
by the longest side Of the bag, should
now be turned down and fastened in its
place by a few long stitches with .
needle and thread; it should then be
quickly wrapped in the strip of flannel
(also previously warmed) and fastened
in stu, if necessary, b. means OF the
tapes. 1t may be covered on the outside
with a sheet of cotton wool. In this
way the poultice may be applied boiling
hot to the skin without burning: the
two layers of flannel, which are at first
dry. allow the heat to pass very gradu-
ally indeed to the skin; as the moisture
of the poultice soass through them
they become better conductors, and the
heat passes more quickly, but the in
crease is so gradual as not to cause any
painful sensations whatever, but only
one of soothing and comfort. Tho
poultice, also, naturally keeps much
longer hot, and the necessity for chang
ing it arises much less frequently

A FiSIlerman'S Telephone.

On some parts of the coast of sumatra
and the ncig ghboring islands the fisher
men test the depth of the sea and also
the nature of the sea bottom by the
noises they hear on applying the ear to
one end of an ore Of which the other end
is plunged into the water.
At a depth Of twenty feet and less the
sound is crcpitation similar to that
produced when salt is thrown on burn-
Ing charcoal; at fifty feet it Is like inc
ticking Of watch, the TIC tao pelng
more or less rapid. Il O: ling to whether
the bottom IS entirely f coral or alter
pately of coral and mud or sand.
If the bottom is entirely of sand, tho
souud is clear: if of mud, it resembles
the humming of a swarm of bees. On
dark nights the fishermen select their
fishery gronnds according to these indi'
cations.-Scienfe Gossip.

Fashion Notes.

A stylish jacket of tan color is trimmed
with black astrakhan.
Barritz gloves are still the stylish wear
for every day and are stitched in white.
The ivory white shades in satin are
those that brides prefer for the wedding
dress.
Siam red is seen in velvet and makes
charming wraps either in plush velvet or
cloth.
Open worked stockings in black, silk
or fine Isle thread are worn with satin
slippers.
Moire is without question the fashion
able silk which disputes favor with peau
de sole.
Jaunty head gear is the rule this sea-
son, the sedate little close bonnet being
quite passe.
Angora fur so fluffy and becoming is
used on soft wooden morning gowns IN
creamy white.
Striped fabrics are in the ascendant,
and vivid colors on neutral grounds the
preferred form.
Heavily embroidered gloves with q
wide band on the back in white silk are
not elegant or stylish.
Soft India silk, China silk, surah, and
crepe are the proper materials for the
useful tea gown or matinee.
Belts, pockets, bands, collars, cults
of seal and other furs are seen on rich
peau de sole and other silk dresses.
Striped fabrics look best when cut on
the bias for the corsage and sleeves, all
the stripes running in points down, not
upward.
Fraizes high and of medium height
are as much in favor for dinner costumes
as the fall Of lace over thcN-cut bodlces
and dog.
Most dinner dresses for American
women are made with high bodices or
opening only in V shape in front, but
high in the back.
Black lace dresses bid fair to never
% entirely out of fashion. They only
change their shape and under dress from
season to season.
The newest seal turbans have high,
slender, tapering crowns, flat on top.
The upturnei brim or border IS ire
quently of sable, otter, brown beaver,
curacal, or some other fine fur.
Drcssy black costumes have the skirts
composed of lengthwise rows OF coro
passemcnteric and black velvet sash rib
bon. The ribbon, which is seven or
eight inches wide, has inch wide stripes
of velvet and repped silk.
New cloths having Il border woven on
one edge are used lor long cloaks, the
border being placed in two rows upon
aie front and the back. These borders
are of contrasting colors, sometimes
showing cashmere designs.
Braiding is, as every one knows, very
fashionable in both wide and narrow
braids, aud in every conceivable design.
A novelty in this line was worked in in.
tricate patterns with smooth rat tail
chenille, like that so popular in fringe
two or three seasons ago.
Now that plain skirts are prcierrcI to
all Others, much depends upon the per-
fection with which they are hung and inc
arrangement OF their drapcries. The
highest skill OF the drcssmaker is often
taxed /" max" the skirt of heavy cloth
costume stand out stylishly at the back
without visible support from beneath.

Potter's Clay in Japan.

Il is even common now to dig the clay
at some one of the $50 beds known, load
it on junks and ship to favored manu-
featuring places, where it is ground,
beaten, levigated, kneaded, nodded
and the biscuit fred and glazed. Ozawa
has given us picture of such a pottery,
with one of series of chamber furnaces
which are usually built up the slope OF
a hill, so that thr heat may ascend, and
and the highest temperature be in the
uppermost oven. The raw material,
alter being ground, stamped and washed.
is further treated with hoe, trowel and
basket-sieve.
The finest sort is beaten with from
g 600 to 5000 strokes of club, so as to
be fully tempered for the wheel, or for
those articles which are built rather than
nodded. When ready for the baking,
the first for the biscuit or dry clay, the
second for the glaze, a peculiar kind OF
charcoal is used, and the fire is kindled
from q spark struck with flint and steel,
which every smoker carries at his belt.--

A young man covered with the dust OF

Northern part of the State; that he
weighed 135 pounds when he started,
and that he thought that he would fst up

less than week he did, and had gained
so decidedly in flesh that he was readily

knows all about his town. where tho
best shops arc, what theatres are open
and the prices at each, and all about
what sights to see and how to see them.
He sells you your stamps, makes change
for you, posts your letters, and Is not too
proud or important to run out and hire a
cab or execute any other little commits
sion for you, in which respect he ap.
proaches much more nearly to state OF
true usefulness than the clerk of the
hotel, for whom the lady shopper has no
earthly use. If you don't pay for what
you buy at any of the shops lie will pay
for them when the commissionaire brings
them, if you tell him to, or he will sign
for them and you pay him afterward. The
commissionairc calls again for the money.
You always tip tho concierge, giving him
the highest tip. The next highest tip is
for the head waiter, the next for your
own waiter, then a smaller one to the
Boots, then to the chambermaid, and
finally to the boy in the lift or elevator,
if you wish to do the eminently proper
thing.
There are no cash boys or girls or
change railroads or anything of the sort
in the Paris stores, but there is one very
nice custom there, that of seating every
lady who comes in. You never stand to
do your shopping In Paris. The mo-
ment you speak to clerk, male or
female, he or she steps around the counter
and places chair for you without walt
ing to see whether YOU are going to pur-
chase or not. No matter how small the
shop may he this is always the rule. In
the larger Partisan stores there is a room
elegantly fitted for ladies, where there is
every convenience that ladies can require,
and it contains free lunch counter sup
piled with different kinds OF cordials and
nice cakes. There is row of bartenders
or walters continually placing glasses and
calling off what they have to offer. The
favorite drinks are gros ellie (currant
juice, raspberry vinegar, orgeat, thin
wines of various sorts, orange flower cor-
dial, and half dozen other beverages.
There is a tempting display OF fancy
cake, and no charge is made for any
thing. :,
A great display is made on the side,
walks outside these stores. All around
outside the shops are counters laden with
what we call bargains in this country.
There you see umbrellas, parasols, canes,
ribbons, dress goods, handkerchiefs,
and, in short, nearly everything. There
are other bargain counters inside the
stores.
One feature of shopping peculiar to
Paris is that you can buy ladies skirts
ready made, beautifully put together,
draped in the latest fashion, and at very
reasonable prices. You get cloths to
match for the waists, and can take the
goods up stairs to be made in the dress
making department, or you can take
them to your own dressmaker to be made
up. In the same stores the displays OF
ready-made dresses and wrappers are
enormous.
When you leave the Bon Marche you
find several COMMISSIONERS at the door,
and to one you give the number OF your
cab. He touches. his cap and is OF like
shot, to reappear presently riding IL
side your cab. You are forbidden to
fee him, but you do it, and he is de-
lighted.

Cat Colonies In Paris.

The French capital harbors the largest
number of cats of any city in the world
in proportion to its size. Whole colonies
of them arc to be found in the vicinity
of the markets, where they feed on
broken victuals and make incessant war
on the rats. At the Halles Centrales
their numbers have increased so rapidly
of late that portion of them had to be
destroyed, as they roamed about in bands
like wild beasts, and were beginning to
be dangerous. Dupre7. the well-known
tenor singer, has earned the LIE pere des
chats, for he daily feeds hundreds of
these animals at his own expense. The
Prefecture de Police likewise entertains
large colony Of cats, which are placed
under the care of an old woman of 10,
who supplies them with daily rations OF
meat and milk.-Le Aagasia Rttores1us.

A Tribute to the Quiet Girl.

The quiet girl never wears high colors
on the street. You do not see her faunt-
ing in brilliant plaids when they happen
to be in the style. When high hats are
SIM she does not pile hers so high that
it sweeps the cobwebs from the sky.
She DOES not wear an exaggerated bang
when the bang is in vogue, nor the big
gest hustle in town, nor the longest train
to her tea gown, nor the greatest number
of bangles when bangles reign. But be.
cause she does not chatter and giggle and
make herself conspicuous in horse cars or
at matinees, does not annouce her con-
victions on all occasions and all sub; ;ects,
and profess her admiralions at every
turn, it must not be supposed that she
has no ideas, convictions or cnthusiasms !;
that she moves along like a star in tho
heavens, which obeys the laws of gravita-
tion without selecting its course or OBJ
iccting to it's orbit. 1t is the quiet girl
who makes the best match, who fills the
inches which her more brilliant sisters
leave vacant, who manages the servants,
runs the sewing machine, remembers the
birthdays, listens to the "reminiscences of
the old and often keeps the wolf from
the door.-Easton (Penn.) argus.
