Three Matrimonial Pops.

There are three varieties of popping
the question now in vogue-the pop hesi-
tate, the pop deliberate and the pop ple-
cipitate. New York 1nclines to the
hesitating pop. Philadelphia has long
favored the deliberate pop, so much so
that courtship has been knownto to extend
almost from the cradle to the grave be
fore the preacher got job. Years are
sometimes consumed in studying out
each others pedigree. But in the wild,
hoyden West it is very different. There
the pop precip:tate reigns, and it is no
uncommon thing for woman to get an
offer on sight. The other day In St.
Louis Boston widow found a husband
in an hour. The Arkansas man who
popped meant business, and gave her .
minute to decide. Westward the hope
Of spinsters takes its way.--PAialelph:d

The Smallest Craft.

Mr.. F. NJ. Goodall and friend arrived
here Sabbath morning in a thirty-two-
foot craft of eight feet beam, after a
run of 100 miles at sea from Sanford,
Me. The boat is a novel combination,
as it can be run either as q kerosene
launch or a sloop-rig yacht. This is the
smallest craft that has ever made the
run from Maine to Florida, and she is
looking as fresh and natty after her long
battle with the breakers as if just in
from an hours pleasant cruise. The
owners, the Messrs. Goodall, who are
noted as the manufacturers of plush
upholstery for parlor couches, will pass
the winter enjoying the delightful yacht
ing and fishing on the now famous Indian
River. This is but one of several yachts
that have recently arrived on the scene
of winter sport and game carnage

The Accordion Cloak.

The accordion cloak is one of the lat
est things. It is merely five straight
breadths of double width nuns yelling
or cashmere. the length from shoulder
to foot, hemmed all round and the plaits
held close at the top and sewn fast into
a velvet collar. But this not all exactly.
The same thing made of ten widths of
the thinest silk or silk null is sewn into
the same collar, and falls loose into the
plaits of the outer cores, thus making
what is actually two plated circulars,
one within the other. Pretty women
who envelop themselves in such wraps
soon learn the tricks ballet dancers in
short accordion skirts always make use
of, and throw their arms about, holding
an end of the cloak in their fingers, thus
stretching out and drawing in the goods
in graceful curves in the most coquettish
aud bewildering manner. The beauty
and effectiveness of thin, delicate mate
rials has never been shown in way to
surpass these accordion plaitings. For
the underdress of the sssthetic Greek
toilets they are extremely appropriate. -

ring is closed again by fitting the two

by q concealed catch fitted on the inner
edge of the hoops. It requires the
closest scrutiny to discover, as you see,
that the ring is not an ordinary hoop of
gold. These rings have made big hit.

Coffee AdQlteratiOn.

A Brooklyn man, who has been in the
coffee business all his lite, made pecu-
liar experiment in the presence of New
York Sun reporter. Taking handful
of newly ground coffee and placing it in
a tumbler he filled the glass with water.
Every particle of the coffee immedi-
ately arose and t,oated in dense mass
on the top of the water. The water, at
first perfectly clear, gradually became
discolored, until at last the coffee on
the top had lost its natural shade and
grew Whitley brown.
"'That's the only sure way to test cof-
fee," said the grocer, smiling cont
IDENTIFY over the success of his expert
ment. eff this sample had contained
the least adulteration whatever it would
have remained at the bottom of the
glass. Coffee is a bean, while chicory,
its most common adulterant, is root.
The one is carbonic. the other earthly
matter; and the one floats while the
other sinks. If the average coffee
drinker knew the medical qualities of
chicory, he would never drink coffee
without being assured of its absolute
purity. ChicorJ not only makes the
coffee taste bitter, but it is one of the
most violent emetics known.
ut has been known to bring on pa
ralysis, and has the most deleterious
effect on the eyesight. Chicory, while
the most common, is not the only adul-
Grant used by the coffee mills. Peas,
rye, rosewood, sawdust, and in fact,
anything that will burn brown, are en-
ployed without stint. The adulterators
Justify themselves by contending that if
only pure coffee was employed, people in
ordinary circumstances would be una.
BILE to buy it, as the amount imported
represents such small proportion to
the total used. When a grocer goes to
buy coffee he always states whether he
wants it pure, rs, so or 25 per cent.
IF he buys it pure, an effort is always
made to sell him adulterauts, as grocer
is looked upon as crazy man who gives
his customers the genuine article. A
man who sells coffee for 25 cents a
pound and gives away prizes with 1t re.
Gently gave me his formula. The ingre-
dients and their cost was as follows:
One pound of coffee, 10 cents; one
pound of rye, 2t cents; one pound of
peas, /! cent; one pound of chicory, 6
cents. For % cents he made four
pounds of 25-cent coffee, thus allowing
him enough profit to give his customers
good prizes, which he didn't do: Coffee
lis very clean thing to handle, but
when it is adulterated there is always a
lot of dust left in the scales after weigh
ing.
'Even pure coffee can be spoiled in
the making. AS newspaper man, you
must have often realized that you got
better cup of coffee for five cents in
beanery than for three times the price
at a more aristocratic resort. The crown
ing sin of coffee makers is the use of
tin pot The tannin of the coffee acts
on the tin, and the result is that the
coffee has blush tinge. Nothing but
earthenware should be used in brewing
coffee. When made this way it is said
to keep good for six weeks"

WHY the Teeth Chatter.

It is through the skin, and only
through the skin, that We receive sensa.
tions of temperature. The chattering of
the teeth from the feeling of cold is
caused by what is termed reflex action
of the muscles of the jaw. When all
impression IS made on the sensitive
surface of the skin it is conveyed by an
excitor nerve to the spinal cord, and is
there reflected back on the muscles by q
corresponding motor nerve, the action
being involuntary, like that of any other
mechanism. Chatterng of the teeth, as
we'll as shiverlng and sneezing, is natures
effort to restore the circulation of the
blood which has accumulated in the
larger near the heart.

An Amphibious Maiden Lady.

There is a maiden lady in city not
far from Elberton, Ga, who is so con-
stituted that she cannot live out of water
but short while at the time. After re-
naming away from a bathtub for
couple of hours she commences to faint
and almost suffocates, and to procure re-
lief must at once cover her entire body
in cold water. She has in her room
pool of fresh water, and in this she
spends greater part of her time, both
winter and summer. Otherwise her
health is very good. Her physical pc
culiarity, while doubtless inconVenient,
must be less OBJ. e tionable to the lady's
friends than the opposite extreme would
be.-Neao Orleans Times Democrat.

couples contemplating matrimony. This

Professional Nurses.

I have often wondered, says writer
in the Brooklyn Citizen, why more young
ladies do not study for professional
nurses, for there is money in the bust
ness, besides the physiological knowl-
edge is we'll worth having. 1t is not a
difficult matter to gain admittance to
the Brooklyn Maternity on Concord
street, which is one of the oldest lying
in institutions in the city. There are
now seven students there, three of whom
come from the northern part OF the
State and four from other parLs of the
country. a lady wishing to become a
nurse should bear certificate from her
family physician as to her health, and
one from her minister rs to her char
acter These recommendations she pre-
sents to the first directless. The nurses
graduate once year, and part of the
last six months of their course is spent
outside, and half the money they re-
ceive there goes to the institution. This
contribution to the maternity l say is
only made during several weeks of the
term. When the student graduates she
gets n certificate and she can go where
she pleases to pursue her calling. After
three years outside labor she will get q
diploma if she can furnish evidence
from her patients that she has filled the
bill as competent nurse. A woman with
an irritable disposition, bad manners and
fondness for dress will cut poor
figure as a nurse in sick room. She
should be as sweet and gentle as an
Evangeline or a Priscilla, so that her
very presence will have soothing in
fluence on her patient. The pay of a
good nurse in Brooklyn is from $15 to
$21 per week and in New York city from
$40 to $35.
