Two Quaint Sayings Of . Virginia Gentle

Mr.. Smith, of Virginia, has q valet

Jim. who Is of that shade known as
bright mulatto," has black silken
curls and smile that render him the
delight and torment of all the ..yaller
gals" Of the city, and his temper is as
sunny as a day in June. 1t is Mr..
Smiths invariable habit to discharge
his valet once q week in futile en-
deavor to persuade Jim that he does
not own his master body and soul; but
as the amiable African sweetly ignores
all such ebullitions. and always re-
turns the next morning. placidly un-
conscious Of any unpleasantness, the
habit serves only as q relief to his
masters overcharged feelings. On
one occasion he carried Jim down into
unfamiliar wilds in Georgia and pur-
pose!y lost him, after the fashion in
which one rids ones self of obnoxious
cats. and for two weeks after his re-
turn reveled in his freedom. At the
end OF that time. in answer to his bell
one morning. Jim put his head in the
door, and asked. in his usual tone:

and then his master resigned himself
to his obvious destiny. His only con-

MAKING A "MAsH"

How Pretty and Mischisvous Senorita6
Do It In MEXICO.
The stranger in Mexico, especially II
he be young and good-looking. Is
liable to DO considerably surprised at
his first ball here, when some pretty
senorita whom he has never seen be-
fore. trips up to him with an engaging
smile on her face and something that
looks like an egg in her hand. and sud-
denly smashes the latter over his
Uranium. To one not acquainted with
the cascarone custom it is startling. to
say the least Luckily. however. the
egg has been robbed of its usual in
terror, the original contents having
been emptied through small hole at
one end. The shell is then refilled
with finely-chopped tinsel and colored
paper. perhaps with the addition Of
perfumed satchet powder or some
dainty trinkets, after which the open
ing is neatly closed by a bit of paper
pasted over it.
In the good old days Of the Spanish
aristocracy the egg-shells to be used
by the proud grandees az swell fam.
dangos were filled with gold and
diamond dust Similar extravagances
are sometimes INDUCED in nowadays.
but rarely. Occasionally small gold
coins, charms, pearls. opals or spiced
candies are stuffed in with the chopped
tinsel. making the advertisement rather
expensive. One can buy very pretty
cascarones, however. for about q
dollar dozen, and it is quite the cor
rect thing for a belle or beau to 60 TOT
ball armed with several dozen of
them.
Often the shells are hand painted or
otherwise beautifully decorated. much
like Easter eggs in the North. Society
matrons who propose giving balls dur
ing the cascarone season have the
shells of all the eggs used in the house
hold carefully saved for the purpose.
and many an hour is spent by herself
and friends in filling and decorating
them. The act of breaking a casca-
rome on anOther's head is considered q
to the recipient, who feels
in duty bound to return the honor at
the first opportunity. Previous &C
quaintance is not essential. it being of
itself sort of informal introduction.
Thus any Mexican lady may literally
-" make q mash" on every strange
gentleman who pleases her, and with
out offending her countrymen's ex-
sensitive notions of propriety.

FlvE.POINTED STARS

How to Cut Them Out with . Single
Straight Clip Of the Shears.
To cut a five-pointed star with q
single straight clip of the shears
might seem a rather difficult feat to
accomplish. Once known. the process
is very simple. Take sheet of paper
Of any size and fold it once across.
Then make fold at right angles to
this. merely for the purpose of deter
mining the center of the paper.
Throw the sheet back upon the single
fold and let the center point DO the
point of triangle when all the fold
ing is completed.
q five-pointed star there must be one
single and two double folds, the folds
being made outward from the center
point. This single fold should be
made to q point about four-ffths of
the distance to the middle line made
when the center of the paper was de-
termined. The first double fold il
made by folding the further side Of the
sheet as it is left after the single fold,
back upon the outer edge Of the latter.
The second double fold is then made
by folding what is now double upon
what is triple.
To obtain the star. now make cut
with scissors on straight line dag
oually across from point some little
distance removed from the apex. to
the extreme outer lower point Of the
fold. The cut may be made from
either regular side of the triangle.
The eye must be guide as to the
acuteness or obtuseness Of the angles
of the star
A very little practice win soon en-
able one to cut one Of these stars with
entire accuracy. Comparison of .
star 80 made with a geometric star
will show it to be far more symmetri-
cal and graceful than the stiff. mathe-

after the great Chicago fire he married
again. The tendency Of Chicagos growth
parks and boulevards had been laid out,
and it was expected that ON the latter the
most beautiful and costly residences
would at once spring up. Mr. Storey com.
menced his residence with frontage
on either Indiana avenue or the Grand
boulevard. The house was placed neal
Indiana avenue, but the porters lodge
was to be ON the Grand boulevard. He
had arranged for one of the finest resi-
dences Of the many to be met with In
Chicago, and went 80 far as to erect the
building without the interior finish at an
expense Of over 100000.
The great fire of 1871 swept away the
property Of The Times. Mr.. Storey wa
much dlsheartened, and for while was
inclined TO give up the struggle, but
while he was suffering under the prevail

Michigan was handed him authorizing him
to draw for $4,000. This turned the
scale, and the next day the paper reap

Value of the Chinese Almanac.

would enable them TO receive tho copies
of their almanac Mt the earliest possible
date in each year. This anxiety would
seem very curious, were ii not the fact,
as we are informed by writer in The
Chinese Recorder. that the almanac is the
most important book to the Chinese.
Its space Is far too important to
be occupied with the matter which
fills western almanacs. 1t contains
astronomical information which Is
useful, but Its great mission is 10 give
full and accurate information for select
ing lucky places for performing all the
