A Good Tale of a Rat,

81 was much interested in a sight /
saw down in the cellar last night"
said patient in one of the hospitals of
this city day or two ago to a fellow
patient who was confined to his bed,
and l will tell you what it was: Gas
went in the old unoccupied room, l
heard something squealing. Being in
my stocking feet walked in without
making any noise, and by the light that
was burning dimly saw rat standing
against a water-pail with something
which looked like a piece of pretty
thich black cord in its mouth. To my
utter surprise l soon discovered that
what appeared to be a cord in the rats
mouth was really the tail of another
rat. After much Juggling and amid
much squealing Ga great of which
came from the inside of the pail) the
outside rat dragged another over the
edge of the vessel. 1t had rescued one
Of its fellows from a watery grave. At
this moment some one noisily entered
the room, and the rats scampered
away. l looked in the pail, which
was about two-thirds filled with water,
and discovered that the rat whose life
was saved had been tempted over the
edge by large crust of bread which
had been thrown there. IN. Y. Sun.

THE AUSTRIAN COURT.
Substantial Perquisites Enjoyed by EN-
g. peror Francis Joseph's Servants.

Substantial Perquisites Enjoyed by EN-
as peror Francis Joseph's Servants.
Nothing except the linen, plate,
china and glass is ever served twice at
the court tables; but the full meaning
of this can not well be grasped by any
body who has not seen the system at
work. Some of the servants have us
their perquisites the bottles which
have come up to the dining-rOom but
have not been uncorkcd; others, the
uncorked bottles; and others again the
wine that remains in the glasses.
Therefore it is the interest of one set
of servants to keep the glasses full; of
another set to draw as many corks as
possible, while parting with as little
wine as they can: and of third set to
draw corks sparingly. The result is
that often great deal of unseemly
whispering and nudging goes on at the
sideboards. As regards the food, there
are different orders of claimants for
perquisites; one man having a vested
interest in the joints, another in the
poultry, a third in the sweet dishes, and
so on. Then there are the men to whom
wax candles belong, and these natur-
ally make rush to blow out the candles
the moment the last guest has walked
out of the room. Altogether, this sys-
TEN of perquisites causes the imperial
banquets to be served in double-quick
time, so that the longest of them sci
dom lasts beyond three-quarters Of an
hour. The Emperor's dining hour is
five o'clock; but it is etiquette for the
guests to arrive clear half hour be-
forehand. After dinner coffee and ci-
gars are served in smoking-room; the
Emperor fingers about quarter of an
hour and the guests separate soon after
$50. But another curious result of the
perquisite system is this-that the
courtservants make open traffic on the
imperial leavings. Incredible as it
may sound. there is basement corri-
dor in the palace, which is like ba-
Ear full of shops. Here not only the
keepers Of small hotels and restaurants
but the cooks ofmany ladies belonging
to the second-class official world come
to buy cold meats. pastry, sweetmeats,
wines and candles. There is one sort
of Tokay which can only be bought
from the court servants, as none is
made except for the Emperor. 1t is
to be resumed, however, that the un-
corked bottles of champagne and other
fine wines are generally sold by the
dozen, and they must form substan
tial perquisite. Journal.

ABOUT ELECTROTYPING.
A Description of the simple and Yet Won
derful Process.

A solution of chloride of gold in cy-
anide of potassium is used for gold
plating, and a small plate of gold, in
stead of silver, is suspended in the So
luton at the positive pole. Nickel
plating is a more recent invention, but
is effected in the same way, and has
become an immense and profitable in
dustry. 1t is equal to silver in beauty
and brilliancy, and has superior re-
sistance to those impurities in the air
which tarnish and discolor the more
expensive metal. Electrotyping is a
modification of the same process, by
which any number of reproductions of
a ''form" of type can be obtained in a
solid block of metal, thus saving the
wear of the type and allowing it to be
distributed and used for other work.
After the type is set up into ''fofTNl
a wax mold is taken of it's surface. The
face of this mold is busted with finely
powdered graphite or black lead, to
render it a conductor OF electricity,
and is then suspended in a solution OF
sulphate of copper, so as to form a
part of an electric circuit. Metallic
copper is deposited upon the face OF
the wax mold, giving a perfect repro
duction of the original form of type,
and when it has reached the requisite
thickness it is removed, strengthened
with backing of type metal and
mounted upon block of wood or metal
ready for use in the printing press.
This process is very cheap one. and
where large number of copies are to
be printed prevents the rapid wearing
out of the expensive type. Wooden
cravings are always printed from these
electrotype reproductions, as the SOFT
wooden block would be rapidly de-
stroyed in an ordinary printing press.
In the process of stereotyping the
plates are cast directly in type metal
from mold of the original type In
plaster-of-paris or paper pulp, but, ex-
cept in the case Of daily newspapers,
or inferior work, the electrotype pro-
cess has nearly superseded it.-Popu'

FASHIONS IN PARIS.
A Refined City Represented by Its Most
UncuItivated Glasses.

A Refined City Represented by Its Most
UncuItiyated Glasses.
Between the great world and the
world of workingmen and peasants are
to be found all the classes which make
up French bourgeoisie from the class
which at times mixes with the upper
ten down to the class which can rub
shoulders with the mass of the people
and not feel out of place among them.
1t would need very delicate and very
subtle analysis to enumerate these
strata and differentiate the one from
the other, but the task will be profit
able. Once you begin the details of
their distinctions you must enumerate
every one; for instance, the same class
has not the same characteristics in
Paris and in Lyons, nor in Lyons and a
small country town. There are re-
markable differences between the in
habitants of the south and north;
politics, with their perpetual revolu-
tions, are always bringing new layers
and new persons to the surface. In the
midst of all these wranglings, rival
ries and distinctions, which appear
enormous to those who are concerned in
them and diminish rapidly if looked at
from above and from distance. l
think the real features of worthy
French middle-class woman can be
caught with sufficient clearness. One
moment, however. Here above all
points the separation between the
woman of Paris and the woman of the
country district is accumulated. All
our great ladies are Parisians, even
those who were born in the country and
who spend their lives in it. But with
the middle-class women things are very
different. lam not going back to an
tediluvian periods mean to stage
coach days. At that time contrasts
struck one at once. They were found
in dress, language, accent, customs,
manners. Those days OF charming va
riety are gone forever. Paris fashions
penetrate right into our hamlets. Paris
style and Paris customs spread rapidly
among them; there is no provincial
woman so poor as not to find the means
of visiting Paris, and above all not to
wish to be taken for a Partisan. Still,
there is one point where the assimila-
ton has not been brought about, and
this point is the one which concerns us
most nearly. The Partisan woman, even
while she plays no part in the great
French manufactory of ideas, lives
near it, sees it's productions constantly,
admires it. is subjected to its influence.
Besides, Paris never allows her to rest
for moment. This city, the most re-
fined and the most supersubtle in the
world, is the very city which allows it.
self to be represented by the most I'M
cultivated and the coarsest individuals.
