Popular Conversation Parties.

It is astonishing how difficult it is for a party of fifty, we will say, to talk well. They sit. these fifty people full of ideas, and stare in each others faces if they have met to talk But get them into a crowded room, and how every tongue is limberedl Let some one play Q piano forte solo, and the effect is equally good; everybody wishes to talk. There has been great effort made recently for popular conversation parties. Several clubs have private meetings at the houses of members for familiar talk. A number of ladies' clubs have attempted it, but tho result is utter si- lence. All are afraid of their own voices There are one or two empirical remedies, however. If at "homes" and at evening re- captions the aids to conversation are not pro life or heart inspiring, if there is no ready made topic at command, it is not bad thing to throw an explosive conversational shell into the middle of the foor The powers of talk arc often thus unloosed. A startlingly clever observation might be quoted, or a question of such character that it will shock no prejudice. These arc the empirical remedies-Harper's Bazar.

DEATH OF LOUIS wENZEL.

Ono of Waterbury's Prominent Germans
 Passes Away.
 Louis Wenzel died of quick consumption at his residence, No 16 Riverside street, last evening, aged 55 years. MT Wenzel had been long identified with Waterbury s interest, having come here when young nam and entered the employ of Holmes Booth & Haydens, and for a long time was foreman in ono of the departments of the works. He retired about ten years ago and opened the cigar store at No 1O5 Bank street, the firm being Louis Wenzel & Son, the son being Nicho- las Wenzel, proprietor of the American hotel. His health began to fail few months ago and he entered St Luke's hos pital for treatment. His case, however, was hopeless, and he returned home to die. He has failed rapidly, but a few days ago showed signs of improvement. He was one of the best known and most popular Germans in Waterbury. Honest, industrious, genial, and brim full of good nature he naturally gathered around him a large circle of friends. He was one of the founders of the Concordia Singing society. The funeral willa take place from Hall Memorial chapel at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow.

The .srafIor Made Girl"

have not spoken of the 'tailor made girl" yet. This not undescriptive title has been given to tho somewhat independent girl who dresses in plain cut gowns, with little or no trimming, in contradistinction to the clingr ing young women whose gowns are hung with ruf1es and lace. Thers are some mon who prefer the 'stailor made, i" while there are others who prefer the ciinger. The "taiior made" Is not necessarily the least bit mascu- line, neither is she husband hunting. She is fond O, walking, and 50 she wears shoes that do not pinch her feet. She ''goes in"-as they say in England-for out of door sports She rows, she rides, she walks, and she yields tho lawn tennis racquet. She talks more about these amusements than she does about moon light, love and flowers. She is almost as fond of animals as she is of men, and, in short, she can amuse herself without men, which the clinger can not. She ii not afraid of being an old maid; the clinger is; and she the ''tailor made'-is quito as loath to marry as the athletic young man, but when she meets her fate she accepts it gracefully, and makes quito as good a wife and mother as does the elinger. .-"Brunswick" in Boston GaZette

Faces Tell Tales.

never ses Q group of tired men hurrying by when the days work is done that do not wonder what kind of homes they arc going to, and think can tell by the eager or sorry i, expression of their faces and the elasticity or slowness of thsir steps whether their antici- pations are cheerful or otherwise. once saw a man going homo with face so be- grimed with coal dust that it was anything but agreeable to look at it, but which became almost glorided with . sudden lighting up of joy, which shone through all the sooty black when, from . door in the distance, there came little fair haired, blue eyed girl, fresh and sweet as a rose, who, with a glad cry, ''papa, papa, papa's tum," threw herself into his arms. l know the man was very poor, but I knew also that he was happy in a home the thought of which made the longest hour seem short, and in . wife who had helped to make him nobler and better citizen than are thousands flu the higher walks of life
 who spend upon one dinner more than he was worth.
 "Blessed be the wife who, having won her husbands love. knows how to keep it and does it. "-Mary J. Holmes in Chicago News

There is considerable gossip about a young man having eloped with 15 year old girl employed as domestic on Grand street. They disappeared about the same time and this with letter which the young man sent to the girl led people to believe that they had run away, but as far as can be ascertained there is no ground for the story.
 Thomas Delaney, the father of Hannah Brennan's baby, did not appear in court this morning to answer to two of the charges against him. His bondsmen did not appear and his bond was called. De laney took out license to marry the Bren nan woman Friday evening and when he presented evidence to the court that he hac married her the cases were to be with drawn. There is third charge against him which will come up tomorrow.

Remedy for Ivy Poison.

have read an article in your paper on ivy poison, and, as have had considerable ex- perience with ivy poison, I wish to give e sure and simply remedy which think was the first to discover. About twenty-five years ago I was badly poisoned by climbing trees to get wild grapes. was literally poi soned all over. My limbs were swollen and broken out with little blisters. My parents were away from homo at the time. I did not know what to do. I had heard that salt water was good. could find no salt in the house, but found some baking soda, so I thought I would try that. I got large wash basin, put in about three quarts of water and about four ounces of soda I then bathed myself good all over. It knocked the ivy poison higher than kite I was poi soned several times after that, but always cured myself with the same remedy. Also I know of many cases where they used it on my recommendation, and they all were speedily cured.-S. Heberlng in Scientific American.

Eaten with the Fingers,

Another question often repeated is this, "What shall I eat with my fingersp' Al though it is considered vulgar to be seen picking bone, we have lately observed very well bred people take the leg of little bird in the fingers, and delicately remove the flesh with the teeth. It is not generally done, but it can be done neatly. Cheese can be eaten from the fingers, and so with all the fruits; very dry little tart or a cake can be eaten with the fingers. Asparagus is also conveyed to the mouth with the fingerz Many English gentlemen eat lettuce and eel cry, with salt alone, with the fingers. Olives are also eaten in the same way Pastry, hardicecream, jellies, blanc mango, buildings, are eaten with the fork. The dessert spoon is only used for soft custards and preserved fruit, or melons which are too soft for the fork. When strawberries are served with the stems on, they should be eaten with the fingers; whom served hulled and creamed, they should, of course, be eaten with spoon. -Harpor,S bazar
