Philadelphia North American.

Philadelphia North American.
By reintroducing the bill for the con.
struction Of public building at Allentown
which was vetoed by the President, Mr.
Sowden will give Mr. Cleveland an oppor-
tunity to show whether ne applied the veto
to get even with the congressman who had
refused to vote for free trade or whether
he was actuated by a motive OF public
economy. Mr.. Cleveland claimed at the
time that 100000 was too much for city
OF Allentown's size, and Mr.. Sowden has
therefore, in his new bill reduced the
figure TO $4,000. The measure is almost
certain 10 pass, and II is q question whether
the President will again defy public opin.
ion by vetoing bin for nothing but to be
revenged on Democratic Congressman
who declined to let the administration do
his thinking for him.

New Kind Of Luncheons.

Z A very gorgeous novelty in society is
called the "Rainbow Luncheon" Two
O'Clock is the hour that has been fixed
upon as most suitable, though oddly
enough an accompaniment of the event is
q gas lighted lunch room, with the jets
shaded by globes of various tints, curtains
of silk being employed to shut out the OBJ
trusive daylight. At one Of these rainbow
parties group Of mandolin players, half
concealed by tall Towering plants, gave an
Oriental touch to the entertainment. Over
the oriel window was fitted rainbow arch
four feet long and composed Of roses OF
seven different shades.
There were three tables, and at each
plate was hand painted menu card with
thu guests name and q miniature rainbow
on the back. The first table was all in
yellow, with glittering cut glass and silver
decorated in -repousse of Marguerites
The brass candelabra in the center rested
in nat basket of yellow wax tapers and
yellow shades. The fringed doylies were
embroidered in gold threads and the
damask napkins in yellow roses. The
china for the ten courses was all in yell
low, but different in design for each
course. The second table was decked in
red, with napkins embroidered in red
roses, and the bisque candelabra set on
base of jacqueminot and lighted by red
tapers shaded by red globes. The china
for each course was also OF shaded red.
The third table had blue appointments.
Thesnapery was worked in blue forget me
snots, and the tapers and shades were blue,
with q fat basket of white roses. The
blue points came on in cut glass dishes,
and there were rainbow ices in miniature
pyramids, and punch glasses filed with
ices OF. various colors. --Louisyille Cou-

How They Marry In India.

At Trichur, In the East Indies, town
inhabited chiefly by Nairs, the land hold
ing class Of the coast, divorce seems to be
as simple On marriage is easy. The Nair
lady is q very Independent person. Some
one offers cloth; that is the proposal. If
she accepts IL, that is the marriage. II
she gets tired Of her husband she gets rid
Of him and takes up with another, and Is
not held to have behaved disgracefuiiy in
so doing. To give cloth asa present is
very common thing in India. BY cloth
is meant the garment worn by women in
the east, and it may be very plain and
cheap or very rich and costly. But here,
whatever kind Of cloth it be, to give one
is very significant, as distinguished WISH
tor to Trichur found when he offered one
to Nair lady in whose house he had re-
ceived some civility. Whatever opinion
may be held from moral point of view
of these marriage relations, they result in
manly males and for the most part comedy
and very often beautiful females. Pail

It is not claimed by any of the
friends of President Cleveland that
his personal appearance is at all
pleasing. The expression Of his face
suggests grossness and lack of intelli-
gence. Upon his great trip to the
Northwest many of his ardent sup
porters, after seeing him, were greatly
disappointed in him. Here is an in
cident showing the effect which the
sight of Cleveland produced. An old
Irishman, who had voted the Demo-
cratic ticket all his life, stood upon
Hennepin avenue in Minneapolis,
eagerly waiting to catch glimpse Of
the great Democratic president as the
reception committee and presidential
party passed up that busy thorough
fare. AS the presidents carriage APP
preached, his countenance fell. A
bystander, noticing him, said: "Well,
Pat. what do you think of it?"
Pointing his finger in the direction of
Growers obesity, look Of inexpress-
ible disgust came into his face as he
said: "The Dimicratic partly has

Flowers of the Arctic Regions.


The polar flowers seldom have any per-
fume, and the few that exhibit this de-
lghtful quality, however feeble, are,
think, from that class that have crept over
the cold border marked by the Arctic
circle; or, in short, none of the fifty mem
tioned-Eskimo flowers, we might call
them in a popular way-have any appre-
ciable odor. The color of these boreal
blossoms are generally of the cold tints,
as If in harmony with the chilly sur
roundings, instead of the warm hues that
would break in upon the desolation with
double effect by sheer contrast where so
few cheering sights are to be seen. White
and light yellow predominate, and these
colors seem associated with frosts and
cold weather, for it appears that these
flowers we call ''everlastings,n and which
are the longest to defy the nippings OF the
coming winter weather, are mostly tinted
like the northern SHOWS and yellow
northern lights.
1t is in the depths of old ocean that we
find some of the largest expressions OF
plant life in the polar zone. Here, within
short distance of shore, are colossal
kelps and other life that grow throughout
the year; of course, negotiating the most
in the short summer months. Land
plants, as already said, are pigmies COM
pared with those of the sea, or even the
corresponding class in lower ATTITUDES,
and this dwarfed condition, q naturalist
tells us, is not due so much to the intense
cold in the arctic winter as to the fact
they do net get enough warmth in sum-
mer to develop them perfectly. DIR. Joseph
Hooker mentions it as a rare property OF
one of the gramine8 (the grasses), Trise-
tum Subspicatum, that it is the only polar
species known which is equally an inhab-
liant of the arctic and antarctic regions.

The Influence of Symbols.

An American, writing home recently
from England, says: 81 happened to be
present at the funeral of "A soldier, who,
for bravery in the Zulu war, had received
the Victoria cross. The badge was fast
ened to his breast as he lay in the coffin.
His mother, bidding him farewell, touched
the precious bronze token and said: 1T
lessons my grief at losing him that he
should take that into his grave?
sit was the symbol to her not only of
his heroic life, but of the gratitude of his
country. I wondered, as I heard her, If
we Americans make as much use as we
might of the influence of symbols in train
ing our uneducated classes"
A singular instance of the effect of this
kind of symbolism was once shown in the
famous reformatory school at Lusk. One
of the teachers had induced about twenty
Of the boys to give up profane and indie
cent language, and to do extra work, for
which they were paid. But they were in
different and half hearted in the effort.
'Form them into q society and give
them a badge" suggested the superin-
tendent. sa
The hint was carried out. In month
the boys were eager and enthusiastic in
their work, and as proud of their prison
society as were the old soldiers of Napo-
leon of the Legion of Honor.
The man who is successful in leading
human nature to its highest endeavor
must work upon the innocent weaknesses
as well as upon the stern love of duty.
Imaginative men and women like to SYM
bolize their work or sacrifice for the world

To ventilate n Room.

The best way to ventilate room that
know of is to put board, long enough to
fit exactly in the window frame, and
about six inches high, under the lower
sash. IL you remember the construction
of window sashes you win know that this
consequent raising Of the lowersone will
leave spaces between the glass and the
woodwork, through which fresh air can
obtain gradual entrance into the room.
Its course is made somewhat tortuous
and all draught thereby prevented.
When it reaches the inside it has an up--
ward direction, too, and Is not likely to
come in contact with tender craniums.
1t is important, in using this kind Of ven
tilation, that the board fit accurately
under the window, SO that no little spaces
be left for the air to blow through New
York World.

fruits of Colombia.

The fruits and vegetables in Colombia
are delicious and grow without culture or
care. The plantain is in universal use
and is always served as vegetable. 1t is
fried and boiled when the skin is yellow,
when it is known as green plantain,
and when it is black and the fruit is con-
sidered thoroughly ripe. The banana is
never fried in the tropics, but is always
served as fruit There are many varie-
ties of banana. One of the most de-
ncious species in flavor and fragrance Is
the little fig or guinea banana, which is
scarcely finger in length The red ba-
mana is not different species, but q va
riety produced by grating at Baracoa,
Spain. All the bananas in Colombia are
yellow. The caruba, or passion flower
fruit, the custard apple, called by an en-
thusiastic traveller 1.-THE spiritualized
strawberry" and the guava are all de-
licious fruits which never reach our north
ern markets in perfection. Amy G..

Paints That Are Dangerous.

While an American mill was closed for
repairs, the long iron tube conducting the
water from the canal to the turbine was
painted with mixture of benzine and
asphaltum as protection against rust.
While the work was in progress the super
intendent, passing by, heard sounds of
hilarity within, which were not strictly in
accordance with workmanlike conduct,
and on looking through the manhole saw
the half dozen employees in boisterous
mirth, dancing around, painting each
others faces and clothes. On seeing the
superintendent they invited him to come
and be frescoed. Suspecting the cause of
the unusual proceedings he summoned
larger force of men, and much difficulty
was experienced in removing the men,
although before all were taken out the re-
naming ones were already in state of
partial stupor. The open air revived
them, although it was followed by true
blue Monday headache.

Not in stirring times like ours,
when the worlds affairs come posted

Newspapers intrude into every house,
almost supersede the primers and
textbooks of the schools, profering
alike 10 hand and eye intelligence
formerly won only by laborious
studies and much expense of time

in vogue; the age, if not profound,

SUGGESTIONS or AcrREssEs.

Sign Of the Tom Cst-The Hunchback.
Onenbach's Evil Eye.
It Is singular, in fact, TO note. how
Partisan actresses are attracted-as moths
round Gams that win SINCE them-by
the belief In signs and warnings and
omens. Mime. Favart, societaire at the
Theatre Franchise, asserts that when o cat,
and especially black tom cat, comes Of

not touch his hump. The pretty actress

one mile to get chance to do 80, ms Il

Croizette, who retired from the stage Of
the Coincide franchise on Q pension and
married rich banker, attributes her sue
cess in life to the fact that one day she
picked up horseshoe.
Some cantatrices are also highly super
stitious. Among those who belong more
or less to the Paris stage may instance
Adelina Patti. Adelina Maria Clorinda
Patti-and indeed the whole musical tribe
of the Strakosch and Patti brood
strongly believe in the jettatore, or "evil
eye." Patti will not sing where there Is
a cross eyed conductor, just rs the blonde
Sarah will not play by the side Of an
actor whose organ of vision is askew; and,
as those who, like Patti, have been happy
and successful are more liable to this
fascination, the prirna donna never fails
to wear q bracelet or necklace Of precious
stones-even shells and corals will do--to
counterfeit the malignant influence which
darts from the eyeballs of certain envious
and angry persons. She asserts that
Offenbach, who possessed the evil eye,
brought Ill luck with him wherever he
went; that he passed through the Rue
Lepeletier the night the old opera house
was destroyed by fire, when poor Emma
Livry was burned alive in the only ballet
Offenbach ever had represented at the
opera, and that Mime. Berthelier died
while playing in the ''Vie Parisienne,"

Zulma Bouffar once told me that she
never would think of washing her hands
AS it often happens behind the scenes to
many of the music hall singers-in the
water used by another person, not that
she considered the act as so very unclean,
