\ His toric Kiss.

1t would be difficult to name among
the women who shone in the aristo-
cratic circles of the last century "A lady
more distinguished by personal and
mental endowments than Georgiana
Spencer, the eldest daughter of John,
first Earl of Spencer, born IN 1l57. Af-
ter her marriage to William Cavendish
fifth Duke of Deyonshire, in IVA she
became the centre of a brilliant circle
in the world of fashion where her wit
taste and accomplishments rendered
her society powerfully attractive, rally
ing around her the political and literary
celebrities of the period. Besides be-
ing a leader of fashion the beautiful
Duchess of DeyOnshiTe made her mark
as pOetess. GeOTglana's beauty was
of kind which attracted humble folk
as powerfully as her own select circle.
Wherever she appeared IN public, at
election times, on race courses, etc.,
she met with the most cordial recep-
ton. Her adventure with the butcher
whose vote for Fox she purchased with
a kiss, is well known, and the ecstacy
of a young farmer, who stood close to
her at some races, and rapt in admIra-
tion exclaimed: "Ah, il L was only
God, the Almighty, she would be the
queen OF heaven" is but one tribute
among many paid spontaneously to the
charms of her appearance. Even time
dealt tenderly with the beauty of the
Dutchess OF DeVonshire, preserving
the attractions OF her lineaments in
face and figure to an advanced age.
Unfortunately she lost one of her eyes
shortly before she died, in 1896.

An amusing story is told of how Mr..
Cobb, a citizen of the United States,
built the only machine mill in Morocco.
Mr.. Cobb's application for the authori-
Zation of his mill was rejected. The
Prime Minister would not bear of it;
the Sultan absolutely forbade the new
tangled method of grinding corn. Mr..
Cobb, however, went fright ahead. F"
He built his mill; he put i'll his machln-
ery- Only one finishing touch was
necessary. The grinding stones were
duly delivered at the wharves. But
this gave the authorities their oppor-
tunity, and they calmly impounded
them. 1t was useless going to the
Moorish Government, SO Mr. Cobb
applied to the United States repTesen-
tative. He got formal reply Informing
him that since the Prime Minister and
the Sultan had both forbidden the exc
cution of the project it would be idle
for him to expect any assistance from
the formal representative of the United
States.
The letter was all that Captain Cobb
needed. He took it to the local au-
thorities, who had his grinding stones in
charge, and asked them if they could
read English. Mop Then read
this,'' cried Captain Cobb. There was
the arms of the United States; there
was an undoubted official signature,
and Captain Cobb said he WAS going
straight ahead" with his mill. No
body knew what complication might
ensue if this determined American
were disappointed. The stones were
given up, the mill was finished and tie
next time the Sultan came that way he
sent all his corn TO be ground by ma
chineTy.

New Kind of Luncheons.

a very gorgeous novelty in society is
called the "RaiDbow Luncheon" :"
Two O'Clock is the hour that has been
fixed upon as most suitable, though
oddly enough an accompaniment OF the
event is gas lighted lunch room, with
the Jets shaded by globes of various
tints, curtains Of silk being employed
to shut out the obtrusive daylight. at
one of these rainbow parties a group OF
mandolin players, half concealed by tall
Towering plants, gave an Oriental
touch to the entertainment. Over tho
oriel window was filed rainbow arch
four feet long and composed of roses of
seven different shades,
There were three tables. and at
each plate was a hand PAINTED menu
card with the guests name and min
iature rainbow on the back. The first
table was all in yellow, with glittering
cut glass and silver decorated In re-
pousee Of Marguerites. The brass can
delabra in the center rested in q fat
basket OF yellow wax tapers and yellow
shades. The fringed doylies were en-
broidered in gold threads and the da-
mask napkins In yellow roses. The
china for the ten courses was all In
yellow, but different in design for each
course. The second table was deckei
in red, with napkins embroidered in
red roses, and the bisQue candelabra set
on base of jacQueminot and lighted
by red tapers shaded by red globes.
The china for each course was also of
shaded red. The third table had blue
appointments. The napery was worked
in blue forget me nots, and the tapers
and shades were blue, with nat bas-
ket OF white roses. The blue points
came on in cut glass dishes, and there
were rainbow Ices in Apiniature pyra-
ct various colors.

A Keeper OF the Trut Ia.

y man, dressed in greasy oyeralis,
went into a newspaper office and asked
to see the editor. When asked If the city
editor or some other man on the force
would not do as well, he replied that
he had come on very important busi-
ness, and must see the editor-in-chlef.
When at last his persistence had forced
an entrance into the room where great
policies were outlined the editor said:
You were determined to see me:
now, as quickly as possible, state your
business. -
''AIl right, sir. / like your paper
and want you to have a chance of
saying something that will startle the
country. For some time L have been

hand in a piece of news.''
81 thought that l would give you a
chance to write startling editorial"
Editorial the deucel We have such
accidents nearly every day."
''No. you don't. Just give me a
chance to get done, and you will thank
me. No one was killed when this boiler
exploded"
That's nothing strange"
"And," continued the visitor, mo
one would have been hurt had the
boiler exploded five minutes before it
did" F"
4 strange expression settled upon
the EDITORS face. 'Will you please re-
peat thatP" he asked.
81 say that no one would have been
hurt had the explosion occurred five
minutes before it did. All other explo-
sIOns that ever heard OF would have
been five times as disastrous If they had
occurred a short time before, for a
party of young ladies or a committee of
gentlemen, or some important person
age had, of course, just left the mill
when the explosion occurred"
The editors eyes had grown wonder
fully bright. My dear friend" said
he, "dear because you have chosen me
to be the original recipient of this great
piece of intelligence, lead on, and L
Will follow you. i man with such a
glorious appreciation OF the truth is a
rare jewel. Come, sit down beside me,

The joker who makes bad joke de-
serves TO have it turned on him, as u
very often is.
a man who had dined at a restaur-
ant was asked by the waiter what lie
would have for dessert.
You may bring me baked apples
and cream"
"Yes, sir,r
"Only let us have them without the
cream"
Yes, SIR"
"And without the apples please"
''All right, SIR
The waiter disappeared. and soon
returned with a plate on his salver, on
which lay spoon, and little pow
dered sugar. The customer looked
surprised.
"It's your baked apples and cream
sir, without the BAKED apples and with
out the cream" said the waiter.
The item figured on the bill just the
same, and the customer felt bound tC
pay it.

The Garnet Must Go.

''The carpet is destined to CO." was
the recent comment OF an upholsterer,
land sanitary science will accomplish
it. 1t has long been acknowledged that
carpets harbor dust, musty odors, and
the poisons of such diseases as small
pox, diptheria and scarlet fever. Oiled
floors are the proper thing, and are
readily cleaned, as the oil becomes iu-
corporated with the wood and makes a
hard finish, becoming oxidIzed by con-
tact with the air. Wherever coverings
of any kind are necessary, for lesseniDg
sound, ETC., rugs and mats can be used,
and they have a pksaing, home-like
look.
