 A rose jar is decorated with two medal lions. One represents two nymphs who se- curely hold captive struggling cupid, and the other is a pastoral scene equally well ex- ecuted.
 Some china in the&.canvas" effect is very artistic. very dark and turquois blue make pretty combination for handles, and floral designs in colors further embellish the pieces.
 Some dainty "ivory" ware vases, with decorations in colored enamel, are very at tractive. The neck is in openwork finish, the patterns being in the conventional Greek border designs.

 A monster flower pot is of peculiar olive color, shading off into lighter and darker ef- fleets. Starting at the bottom in wicker work design, this soon gives way to scales, which continue to the top. On each side, in relief, is a flying dragon, and two half human heads serve for handles.
 Moorish rose jars are in the shapes made familiar by pictures of eastern life. Splashed gold on cobalt blue background, and the in tricate designs inseparable from the mind oi the Moorish decorator on backgrounds ir color combinations, which would never bc rislled by other decorators, are odd and yet pleasing.

 A curious custom that attracts the atten- tion of strangers ill Panama is the spectacle of native women walking along the street smoking long, slender cigars It is the GUS tom of the women there to gather in the pub lie markets as early as sunrise to gossip and talk over affairs while enjoying their morn ing smoke.

Paris Trade in yiolets.

The enormous trade which is being done in violets in Paris this year is re- ported to be due to a discovery recently made by a well known author. He has got sight of the recipe used by the Elm press Josephine as means for rendering her beautiful forever" and to which she owed that marvellous tiRt which was the wonder and despair of the French ladies of the time. The wife of Napoleon used to have boiling milk poured over basinful of violet flowers, and with this decoction she bathed her face and neck every morn ing. No sooner was this old secret brought to light than the Parisian ladies began to order great basketfuls of violets to be left at their doors daily and this home made cosmetic is reported to be in daily use this season by thousands.-The Arro0a11t

Eng,and,s Leatherr sapdwlcr,es.

Railway refreshments in England are proverbially dear and bad, but they are certainly getting worse. The sit down meal is respectable, and the plates of eggs and cold meats are eatable, but the buns and sandwiches (and there is, or would be, an immense bun and sandwich public) are simply atrocious. As rule, everything under a glass cover is stale. Is it possi- ble that the great firm which contracts for so many of our railway stations can be aware of tho disgraceful way in which the hand to mouth refreshments are thrown on the public? Why do not they appoint periodical inspectors, charged to taste the wayside buns, etc? Perhaps no one can be got to do the tasting in the present state of affairs. It would be no light ordeal Anyhow, the sandwich market is simply being ruined for want of a little butter, mustard and fresh bread. The two penny sandwich is fraud-dry and tasteless-while the bun is altogether leathery.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The stuff that is written about our heart ronanccs Is tho Elerest bosh. Some of us are mar ried and support husbsnds-that is, somo chorus girls-but not any in our com pany, and most of them have tender at tachmcnts in the company who will not permit dude to get closer to us than a hundred yards. Iwish some of the young ladies who are signing to be chorus girls could see us at home. over our gas stoves, cooking frugal meals, or sitting for hours darning holes in our tights. don't think after one little experience of this kind the ladies would care to undergo another Let me tell you the truth: the chorus girls lot is not so happy as it seems to be-not by several jugfuls.

Height of European Soldiers.

It has generally been believed that the reduction in average height of French soldiers which followed Napoleon's wars due, of course, to the immense slaughter in those campaigns, made all of those soldiers the shortest in Europe, But, ac- cording to high medical and military authority in Russia, the minimum height of the Russian and the French conscript is about equal-fve feet; while in most other European countries the minimum ranges from five feet one inch to five feet three inches.-Boston Budget.

However much my arrows have fallen short, Or swerved aside, or overshot that mark Far set, whose circles center but in truth, This the desire-the one unfading dream The hope of my young manhood-so to stand, So aim, so loose the tense expectant string, That, at the last, each winged shaft may fly Unto the heart of truth unerringly. Yet-though soothe the sting of i'll success With thoughts of error, lurking in the grass, Nursing a wound some wide flown dart has
 given
 A fear dwells ever at my inmost soul, That, haply, ere my growing skill has won The prize-perfeetion-Im may feel the bow Breaka at full bend, or hear it's worn cord part, Or find the quiver empty at my belt

A Check to Untrutlnfulness.

Will you smile if I say that believe the study of science will help make a child truthful? The habit of lying usu- ally begins in an unchecked course of ex- aggeration-the result of an over vivid imagination. In science there is legiti- mate use for even the boldest imagina- tion, but always, at every step, the most careful distinction between fact and fancy, and Q niceness of discrimination in shades of meaning entirely unknown in the other fields of study.-Frances Fisher Wood
