some Of Goodnow's money to pay bills in
this city, and that he secured the horse
TO a place in the central part Of the city
and wrote Mr. Goodnow postal card
message telling him that he was about

A curious custom was that which was
observed quite recently in the parish
church Of St Ives Hants. On a table in
the church at the chancel steps were
placed six Bibles, and near them a box
and three dice. Six boys and six girls,
solemnly watched over by the vicar, Rev.
E. Tottenham, and a crowd Of parishion-
ers, threw dice each three times to see
which should have the six Bibles. Three
went to the boys and three to the girls.
The highest throw was made by the
smallest girl, 81.
This remarkable custom dates from
1878, when DR.. Robert Wylde bequeathed
So, 500, of which the yearly interest was
to be spent In buying six Bibles, not to
cost more than seven shillings and six
pence each, to be cast for by dice on the
communion table every year by six boys
and six girls of the town. A piece Of
ground was bought with the money. and
is now known as Bible Orchard. The
legacy also provided for the payment Of
ten shillings each year to the vicar for
preaching a commencing the ex-
cellency, perfection and divine authority
of the holy Scriptures. The will Of the
eccentric doctor was exactly observed,
and for more than two hundred years
dice were regularly cast upon the COM
munion table. Lately a table erected On
the chancel steps was substituted, the
bishop of the diocese having considered
that the communion table was not for
throwing dice.-Boston Transcript.

The number of people who have real
merit and talent for society, who are kept
out by the eIclusiveness of self consti-
tuted tyrants Of society, must be very
large; but If they have tact and learn to
wait, they will find their way. The
most certain way to please is to show a
modest indifference 70 the smiles of the

is, however, always an ideal exclusive

Every hostess should inquire into the

their moral, social and political standing.
We use the word political in its largest
sense. In spite Of all we a do, objec-

A recent French invention is reported
of a process by which wooden type is
galvanized as to the top of the letter only.
1t seems to be Of q curious, rather thar a
specially valuable character, but by APP
plication to large type, the process does,
it is claimed. result in the production of
a strong type only a trife heavier than
the naked wood. 1t is also claimed that
the coating of copper which Is applied to
the letter has the effect of making 1t as
strong us one of type metal, and so sery-
ing to preserve the finest lines-a diff
cult thing TO do with the wood. The
~galvanizing process is simple. for the
type is placed in the ordinary galvano-
plastic bath, but it Is not explained just
how the operation Is confined to the TOP
of the letter.-New York Mail and Ex-

Miles of Rose Plantations.

The railroad companies In Lower Hun
gary are successfully making use of the
Provence rose for hedges by the sides of
the railways to protect the tracks from
drifting snow. The writer, in imagina-
ton, pictures the scene of a summers
journey gladdened by the glory Of roses,
shining to the right and left Of a swiftly
gliding steam chariot, while the sur
rounding atmosphere Is fraught with
family subtle cents which superinduce
a soft languor in the fortunate traveller"
Between Tatar Bazaar and Adrianople
the horseman following the post road on
a sultry June day rides mile after mile
through enormous rose plantations blaz-
ing with scarlet and crimson, and giving
out odors well nigh as overpowering as
that of the altar distilled from their gor-
geous blossoms. In those fields of queen
flowers he may gaze to his fill on ''the
Damask rose, whose rare mixture doth
disclose beauties pencils cannot feign. "
The uncounted millions of roses grown
in Roumelia are not merely turned to ac-
count by the rose farmers for sale to the
preparers of that powerful essence which,
inclosed in long, slender, carefully stop
pered bottles lettered with gold, is still
so popular throughout the east. although
it has quite gone out Of fashion in this
country. Many tons weight of their
leaves, gathered and packed while they
are freshly fallen, are converted into rose
jam, one of the exquisite conserves
which, under the generic name of ''dul-
chatz," are 30 admirably confected in
Turkey, Greece and Roumania, and o
stitute a leading feature In the light but

The little delays at the various wayside
stations afford excellent opportunities of
observing the different types of Costa
Ricans; for side by side with the travelled
gentleman, attired with scrupulous re-
gard TO the fashions Of this last quarter
Of the Nineteenth century. stand the
barefooted men Of the peon class, In
nearly every case more han decently
CARRIED, but with the silken scarf about
the waist and the huge machete which
are the insignia of their al in life. These
groups are always picturesque, for the
costume OF the women alone Is sufficient
to add a charm to tho rapid succession
Of pictures ever passing in affluenoe Of
color and form before the eyes Of the OBJ
servant traveller.
These women. ever small girls, wear
full starched skirts that touch the
ground, only displaying their small bare
feet as the folds sway in the motion Of
walking From living SO much in the
open air and from the amount Of exer-
else taken, they nearly all glory in splen-
didly developed chests, which, with their
rounded arms, are fully displayed by
the. low, much befrilled waists worn
by them all, differing only In the matter
of more or less adornment. Still, over
their shoulders they dispose the folds of
a silk or wooden scarf, or a bright colored
handkerchief, which usually only reveals
the full throat and the graceful curve of
the arm and shoulder.
While referring to the beauty of the
peon women 1t must be added that their
pleasing appearance lasts only with the
years of their first youth. Whether the
exercise and the open air together pro.
duce a too early maturity, and In conse-
quence a too early decay, it is hard to
say-the result is there all the same.
Side by side with the young and hand
some daughter, the picture of bloom
ing health, stands the mother-a worn
and wrinkled crone-the two pictures of
''She;" and looking from one to the
other the heart is moved with the same
compassion with which poor Holly gazed
upon the awful remains of that imperial
loneliness that had wrought such havoc
with his middle aged affections. Costa
