The customer was pleased. and men,

VALUABLE RELICS.
A Young Woman Who IL Making Money
by Searching for Them.

a clever young woman is building
up business of somewhat novel
character in New York and BROOKLYN.
Travelling agents have long made a
good thing out of antique furniture
picked up on excursions in the wilds of
rural New Hampshire and Connecticut,
inducing farmers wives to ransack their
attics and bring out mirrors that only
wanted regilding. or brass-handled
chests of drawers in want of nothing
but polish and varnish to fetch round
sums from modern worshipers of bric-
a-brac gone by. The best hunting
ground for such things. curously
enough, has been overlooked almost
entirely. New York and Brooklyn, as
things go in this country. are ancient
cities. There are low-browed Dutch
homesteads within the limits of the
former city. and old houses on Second
avenue, in the Washington square
region and on Fifth avenue itself. in
New York, which only need to yield
up their treasures to delight all the
lovers of last century carved oak,
mirrow-front wardrobes, rare spindle
legged m0nstrosities and choice bits OF
buhl. This young woman has begun a
series Of tours among the stately old
mansions sunk to second-class boarding
houses or gone yet further on the road
of neglect and decay. and when she
finds relic of past grandeur. she re-
habilitates it and introduces it to an
art lover or a curio lover. or person
ambitious of the repute of an art or
curio loyer-with money. An old ebony
cabinet inlaid with mother of pearl. an
old dressing table with tray of Sevres
let into the top. an old chair covered
with French lowered satins of the
early years of the century. these are
grand dukes in Punishment to be re-
stored to their lost estate. 1t is pleas
ant business for young woman with
some knowledge. good eye and better
judgment. and she makes it profitable.

FASHIONABLE SILKS.
Varieties Suited for Elegant Den,i Sea son
Toilettes.

Silks are being very largely used for
making mp dressy toilettes to be worn
at afternoon receptions and when pay
ing formal visits. For the demi-season
the entire dress will be of any of the
repped silks. Bengaline, faille fran
caise. gros grain or MORE, whether of
plain color, or shaded in two or three
tones or glace, or in stripes partly
plain. partly twilled or watcred, or else
in the plain brocades of the last CEN
fury. with small woven flowers, or the
more modern designs with velvet vines.
balls. or bars. AS the season advances
to summer. the simple taffetas of
generation ago will be revived, with
their plain lustrous surface showing
stripes, or else glace. or in large plaids
OF the gayest colors together. or single
color with white. The silk surahs are
also to be worn again in plain colors,
in crossbars. in stripes. and with blocks
or balls strewn over them. Sometimes
a striped silk will be combined with
plain repped silk of the color in the
stripe, white or Suede tints being most
often alternated with the colored
stripes. The plain silk will be used for
the front and back of the skirt, while
the stripes appear on the sides;
the basque of the plain color will have
bias side forms Of stripes in front, or
girdle giving that effect. with strip ID
vest, revers and collar. This is prettly
illustrated in myrtle green faille COM
bined with green and Suede-colored
striped faille. The skirt has four plaits
down the front 1.-TWO each side meeting
in the middle) of plain green faille.
while the back has three straight
breadths of the same. with their sides
faced with the striped silk turned over
in jabot shells. Two striped breadths
of silk form drapery on each side next
the plain front; these are plated in fine
plaits ut top to the belt, falling straight
to the foot. and the side is then rounded
up high on the tournure, and caught in
a cluster of plaits next the plain green
back breadths. The space left uncoy-
cred below the curved part in the Sides
OF the skirt has two gathered breadths
falling To the foot from under the curved
part, and these are cut in sharp points
at the edges and faced. This design
may also be prettily carried out in MORE
and plain silk. using the MORE in front
and back. and the plain repped silk on
the sides Sometimes the lower part
on the sides of the skirt IL drawn on
cords and slightly puffed at the top.
with perhaps the standing ruffle OF
doubled silk. For summer taffetas and
checked silks skirts made in this way
will have pinked edges on the sides, or
there may be series of pinked founces
set there. -Harper's Bazar.

THE WHITE PELICAN.
Beautiful Birds of Florida Much Admired

by Naturansts.
The white pelicans were remarkably
abundant on the Gulf coast about
Cedar Keys. but did not occur in any
numbers much south of this point.
When feeding. these fine pelicans swim
along the water and capture their prey
by thrusting their long bill. and ocea-
sionally the entire head. beneath the sur
face of the water; then the bill is raised.
the pouch contracted, forcing the water
from among the fishes. which are
swallowed at once. During calm
weather they feed in the open water of
the Gulf but when high winds occur
they visit the more quiet lagoons and
bayous among the flats. After satisfy
ing their hunger they will sit for a time
on the outer sand bars or reefs, often
gathering by thousands, but will shortly
rise in small companies. flying in
wedge-shaped flocks or ranks like
geese or swans. but move with alternate
Tapping and sailing. and thus rise to
great height, when they will circle
about an hour or more on motionless
wings. not. however. in regular order.
but crossing and recrossing one another
in eccentric gyrations. Later in the
day they return to roost. passing the
night on the reefs. They are very shy
at all times, equally SO at night. for
they can see during the hours of dark
ness nearly or quite as we'll rs owls.
and when approached will rise and fly

which l was successful in obtaining IL
shot at them was by sailing. when. rs
they always rise into the wind. l wouj

These birds, in spite of their large size,
are exceedingly gentle in disposition
and easily tanned, and one that |
brought North, he having been slightly
wounded in the wing. remained with
me three years. when he died. This
bird never attempted to injure any
thing. even permitting young chickens
to run about him, and as they walked
over his huge feet he merely glanced
down at them to see what they were
doing. Johnny, as he was called. was
very intelligent. and always knew
those who were kind to him. recogniz-
ing them with grunt, his only note,
while he would frequently take their
hands in his long bill and gently
squeeze them. He allowed every one
who came to see him to caress him.
and WAS always ready to receive COM
pany. Johnny ate not only fish but
meat, and the quantity which he de-
voured was surprising. for he often
consumed six or eight pounds at a
meal. Not that he was glutton. for
when satisfied no temptation would in
duce HIM to take another morscl. His
favorite method of eating was to have
his food thrown to him, when he would
catch it in his beak. slip it into his
pouch. then he would wait until !

raise it and shake his head until the
food passed downward into his stom-

necessary for Johnny, as he never

ing some idea of migrating. he would

THE POISONED KEY.
How Padua's Tyrant Disposed of Disa-
greeabie Companions.

greeabie Companions.
Another delightful relic of the life
and times of the Tyrant of Padua is a
simple key-about the size of an ordi-
nary door key. 1t was the key of the
Dukes library in his private room.
When he wanted to get rid of any of
his suite or any person in his household
that he had bitter feeling against, he
used to ring his bell and ask for Mr..
John to be sent to him (fancy name of
course.) When John entered the Duke
would say 20, John. wish you would
go to the bookcase in my private room
and bring me the 'Dagonet Ballads.
Certainly. your Grace" Mr.. John
would say, and away he would trot
with the key in his hand. When he
got to the library he would put the key
in the lock of the bookcase and turn
1t. But directly he turned it, out of the
handle of the key shot long poisoned
needle, which stabbed the hand of the
holder and instantly shot back again.
John would let go of the key and say:
What the deuce was that" He would
look at his hand and see only small,
dark blue spot. He would think
nothing of ii but all of sudden
he would begin to feel queer in his
head. Presently some one would come
in and find him in fit on the floor and
the household would be alarmed. Mr..
John has had stroke of fit" the
people would say. A doctor would be
sent for. but his services would be of no
avail In twenty-four hours Mr. John
would be dead and everybody would
think he had died through fit There
were no bethering coroners' inquests to
upset the plans of clever fellows like
