a Woman at q Restaurant.

A peep into one Of the big up town
restaurants, patronized largely by women
out shopping, discloses the fact that
women at luncheon are either excessively
economical, or rather ~extravagant. She
comes in flying. breathless, scans the bill
OF fare for the quickest thing to consume
and the cheapest, orders q bouillon, or q
sandwich, a cup Of tea, or perhaps just
water; gobbles it, and is off on the trail
OF a bargain again in a jiffy.
Or else she IA in slowly and calmly,
with an evident intention of spending a
pleasant hour, reads the bill of fare
through without haste, calls the waiter
to inquire IL this or that dish is fresh,
though she does not intend to order it,:
finally calls for a salad, an ice cream, an
oyster patty, an ~eclaire, a cheese cake, and
perhaps one or two other varieties Of
whipped froth and baked wind, dips a
little INTO each, while chatting with her
friend about the weather, the bargains,
the fashions, the theatre, her symptoms,
her dentist, her servants, her dressmaker
and her children; keeps the waiter hover
ing about in hopes Of a tip, while she puts
on a tight pair of gloves and buttons them
up with a hairpin; is sure she has been
overcharged, and requires considerable
explanation to convince her to the con-
trary, trips up to the desk to pay and
omits to count her change, and finally
letters out beaming with satisfaction, to
return a moment later in dire consterna-
ton, having left her parcels behind, and
insists on opening them all then and
there, to see If they have not been opened
and robbed.-New York Tribune.

The Cats of Paris.

We are promised q cat show in Paris.
This will not, perhaps, be SO interesting
as d baby show, but it will be a novelty
here. The Parisians like cats, and, as
everybody knows, they have a highly dis.
tinguished breed, Their long fur, bushy
tails and amiable faces have made them
celebrated as French cats" although in
reality they claim Oriental descent. At
all times III favor here, they were chiefly
appreciated during the siege, although
the quantity of meat in proportion TO fur
was often disappointing. A good cat Of
steady habits--the profligate animals are
always lean-was worth twenty francs or
more a few days before the equalization.
If some old ladies' had not chung to their
cats with great determination, and checked
their rowing impulses, they would doubt
less have been all eaten.
intelligence in cats grows in inverse
ratio to fur. The long furred animals are
sleepy and stupid, the short furred ones,
with tails like rats, are active, wide
awake and exceedingly enterprising.
These last arc known by the name #
gutter rabbits" in Paris. Perched Oh
the roofs, safe from all stone throwers,
they hail the coming of spring with jocund
music, and when they roam the streets Ut
night they make the rats lives a burden
to them. Yet, with all their claims to
consideration, the gutter rabbits" will
have no place in the cxhibition.-Cor

'.The Tree of Lifc.''

The tree of life bearing twelve ann
Of fruits seems TO nave existence outside
# the vision of st. John, no less than the
story Of the deluge, which is to be met
with outside the Scripture record. On
this subject a writer of a series of papers
on "Asiatic Symbolism" recently pub

that "the tree of life, bearing twelve

DO Hearts Really Break?

Then again do hearts really break?-
always in the metaphysical meaning. Is
the shock ever so violent and permanent
that life loses forever after a considerable
portion of the comfort and happiness IL
formerly had2 Does not the deceived
friend, when the frenzy Of the first twenty
four hours is over, 500 recover from his
disillusion and not only conduct his
business as though nothing important
had happened, but eat with undiminished
appetite and sleep dreamlessly and wellY
Does Werther, even if he abstains from
suicide, always live on with a heart which
simply performs its muscular duty, in a
manner more or less impaired, to be sure,
but which never more beats TO passion,
because passion can never more be felt?
Are there not Camilles who forget their
Armands as the conquer their consump,
ton and settle down into ~unremorseful
and demi-respectable middle age2
Do unreasonable disappointments al
ways make existence a desert? Is there
not such a thing as forgetfulness Of acute
miseries instead Of memorizing them into
chronic griefs? Does not the expectant
treatment often cure the most bruised
and bleeding soul-eXpectancy that still
looks for happiness both in this world and
the world To come? Is there no true
philosophy in that vulgar maxim which
reminds us there are as good fish in the
sea as ever were taken out? Can it be
possible that any two souls, in spite Of
vast divergenceS, are so made for each
other that when sundered by imperative
fate neither again can ever find a twin

Threads Spun by the Spider.

The scientist Leuwenhock says: Il
have often compared the size of the thread
spun by full grown spiders with a hair of
my beard. For this purpose | placed the
thickest part of the hair before the mi
croscope, and from the most accurate
Judgment l could form, more than a
hundred Of such threads placed side by
side could not equal the diameter of one
such hair. If, then, we suppose such a
hair to be Of a round form, it follows that
0 1000 of the threads spun by the full
grown spider, when taken together, will
not be equal in substance to the size Of a
single hair. Boston Budget.
