New Idea in Mourning Stationery.

New Idea in Mourning stationery.
Some attempt has been made, 1
notice, to modify the hitherto unre-
deemed hideousness of mourning sta
tionery, says the Lady's Pictorial;
The new idea is a curious one, ana
consists OF a single black triangle, in
corner of otherwise white note
paper and envelopes. 1 cannot
say that the effect strikes me as par
tlcularly elegant or attractive, but the
new notion deserves to be welcomed
if only because its general adop-
ton would finally dispose Of the vul-
gar and absurd Gus tom, still observed
by many people, of regulating the
depth of the mourning border on
their stationery by the nearness of
the relative whose loss it indicates.

tricians Of the country at his residence
i'll Connecticut. AS the visitor was
ushere,l into the oaken hall he was
greeted with music from an electric Or

center table, and overhanging it was an
electric cigar lighter. On the sideboard,
il an electric teapot, the fragrant Bohea
was brewing, and novel and almost
weird effects of electric lighting were
visible all around, while the air was
rooled with electric fans. Two objects
Of unique interest, taken side by side,

A Tree That Emfts Smoke.

Newton, u vigorous mountain town,
west of Charlotte, N. c., has curiosity
that beats by IL large majority the rain
tree which gained such notoriety in
Charlotte in 1886. 1t is smoking tree,
and battles all efforts at explanation. It
is a white mulberry tree, and stands on
the sidewalk in front of the residence Of
Mr.. Levi Yoder.
1t was brought from Illinois a year or
two ago, and is now about twelve feet
high, with bushy top and many lateral
branches Sunday one of the family no
ticed puff of smoke proceed from one
OF the limbs, and by watching it closely,
puffs Identical in appearance to cigarette
smoke were seen starting every now and
then from all over the tree: sometimes
from the leaves, sometimes from the
bloom, sometimes from the bark of the
limbs or trunk Of the tree The puffs
are at irregular intervals; sometimes two
or three at once from various parts of
the tree, and sometimes they are several
seconds or half minute apart. They
Just seem to come at haphazard, from
any part of the tree, and, rs they ascend
In the air, look exactly like the smoke
from cigarette.
Since the curiosity first became gener-
ally known, large crowds, both of town
and country people, can be seen there at
any time in the day All doubling
Thofnases are soon convinced on the
first visit that the tree do smoke"
Among the white people it is only looked
upon as curiosity, and many of course
make explanations of the phenomenon,
which, perhaps, are plausible enough to
their authors, but which carry very lit
tie in conviction to the minds of others.
But the negroes don't like the thing at

And madIy rushed into the fray,

Where gallant Magrudef charged Oh the

Forgotten and alone,
Gasping his gallant life away

And heard him whisper, mother
With that sweet word, which was his last,
His LIES thread snapped asunder-

Rolled through the sky IN thunder

With none to weep their youthful dead,
And none to claim their own :.
