varnIsh for Confectionery.

Take half pouni or more of gum
benzoine put it into bottle and cover
it with fourth proof alcohol, cork up
tightly and let it digest for at least two
weeks, shaking up once or twice day.
After which time you may pour gently
off any quantity you may require for
present use. 1t should be the thick
ness of thin s.rup; if used too thick, It
is apt to appear in streaks on the work
when dry; If too thick, dilute it with
alcohol. This varnish is perfectly harm
less and very fragrant, resembling some
what the odor of vanilla. 1t will also
keep for years, growing better with
age. 1t is a nice varnish for all kinds
of chocolate work and candies; pulled
and clear. 1t forms, when dry, a thin,
glossy film or skin over th"m, which
prevents the access of the moisture of
the surrounding atmosphere, and tends
to keep them from becoming sticky for
a much longer period of time.

Popular People.

The popular people, that is, the peo-
pie popular socially, are the adaptable
ones. The man who doesn't believe
his host is responsible for the weather,
or his lack of appetite, or the fact that
most of the people are strangers to him,
or that his clothes are uncomfortable.
Is the man who is going to he invited
out often. The woman who dUesn I
expect her friends to be always at the
fever heat Of affection, who doesn't eX-
pect them to keep day book of her
likes and dislikes, who doesn't want the
best seat In an opera box, and who
doesn't complain If she has to entertain
somebody who isn't as yet a celebrity,
Is the comfortable one and the one that
everybody Is glad to meet again. She
is certain to make even stupid people
bright, or, better still. to make them
think themselves bright, and she Is
equally certain to be a tolerably happy
person herself, for there is a great deal
of truth in what one of the slum sisters
so funnlly said: "If you make other
people 'appy you've a 'appiness in your
own art that cawn't come In any other
wav."
If you ask a man how you had better
dress to go TO the theatre, he'll say,
-OD, wear q Dlttck u little Dbll-
net" Then, if you tell him you haven't
got a black frock that Is fit to wear,
he'll ask '.if you don't own some quiet
little brown thing?" Very young men
and very old men, those nearing their
second childhood, like to take out wo-
men who are conspicuous by their
handsome gownIng, but the real man,
the best type of the man of the world,
prefers that, while a woman Is well, she
should still be quietly dressed. An OBJ
servant citizen, whose opinions of
men in general and women in particu-
lar are good, said he'd rather have,
when he took out woman he cared for,
"A man say to him the next day, "Tom-
nv, my boy, who WAS that quiet little
lady with you last EVENING"? than TO
have him rush up to you and say, Tom,
yea can't keep that to yourself, you've
got to introduce that stunning creature

Life What a lucky fellow You arei'
Men are a hundred times more sensitive
on the subject of refinement IN women
than women believe, and the young wO-
man who Is given to cigarette smoking,
who ''slings slang" like a mau, and who
talks about the fellows, is apt IN me
to be relegated by them TO the world
in which she belongs. Men are decid-
edly the best Judges of what is desirable
IN women, and they seldom have a deep
seated admiration for the fast or hUrsey

AN INTELLECTUAL RACE
- Miss'onary's Ideas Regarding
the Maoris OF New Zealand.

Rev James +. Taylor attended the
meetings OF the American Board of
Missions held recently. He Is an Eng
lshman who las seel service in most
parts or the world, aud though now too
old TO engage in active work he takes a
Keen interest IN every movement having
Tor Its object the conversion of the
heathen- In a chat a reporter had with
him previous To his departure for home
he said that OF all the natives he has come
in contact with, those of New Zealand
interested him most.
The MaOris, rs the aborigines of
New Zealand are called, :" said DIR. Tay-
Tor, 'aTe noble race, and offer start
ling contrast to the now almost extinct
aboriglnes OF the neighboring island OF
Tasmania, physically and intellectually.
The Iasman!ans, II indeed if any OF
them are yet alive, cannot be taught TO
count beyond twenty, the number of
their fingers AMI toes, whereas the Mao
ris are capable Of classic education.
Indeed, many of them are in the New
Zealand Parliament, and one of them
at least-Wiremu Otaki-is an accom-
plished speaker As warriors, fighting
man to man. they are equal III every
respect 10 the British, upon whom they
have often inflicted disastrous defeats
Unfortunately, the white mans rum
and the white mans vices are driving
them out OF existence, and, though a
dash OF their blood Will show itself in
the future Australian, as a race they
are bound to go. The most crudite
ethnologIst cannot tell how the Maoris
got there. The islands composing New
Zealand are 500 miles from the nearest
continent, and the largest boat the
natives have is no bigger than an Indian
canoe. Then they resemble neither :he
South American Indian nor the native
OF the Australian continent. Their
own theory is that the Great Spirit WAS
fishing one time, and threw His line
down from the sky to hook whale.
The hook stuck in the ground, and lie
pulled and pulled until He drew a
mountain up to the skies, which is now
called Rangariri. He flew along the
clouds in a rage, and tried His luck
600 miles away with no better success
for this time lie brought up Mount
Egmont, q peak 10000 feet above the
sea level. Both these snow-capped
peaks may tie seen to this day by IuaT-
liners far out at sea as a proof of the cor
rectness of the tradition.
''It IS not easy to convert the Maori,
but once converted he is piOus and in
telligent Christian. They all ride on
horseback, and are very fond of tiue
and bright-cOlOred clothing and jewelTy.

The Love of First Loves.

The truth is, to be spoken fatty and
with confidence that it is the truth,
that a man who does not love ms first
loves all his life long makes a great
mistake and does injustice to his own
past. But, of course, he is TO love them
AS they were. The affection they IN
spired in him, when they did inspire it,
is a part of himself for all time, and
they. as they then seemed, are part of
him too. and 1t Is as idle for HIM to try
TO eradicate them from his actuality as
for the leopard to attempt to change
suots with the Ethiopian. That he
should love what they may become with
the lapse of years is manifestly inexpe-
d .ent and unreasonable, as well rs
usually improper, if for no other reason

Three American Beauties.

OF late years the three most noted
American beauties that have adorned
European society have teen Miss Cham
berlain of Cleveland, Miss Adele
Grant OF New / ork and Miss Matte
Mitchell OF Oregon, the daughter Of the
United States Senator of that state.
Mss Chamberlain. now Mrs NaylOr
I.eyland of London, is peculiarly grace
ful and possesses the sweetest of voices
and the most winning Cf manners.
Her soft hazel eyes, tai, taper figure
and delicate features make up a most
fascinating ensemble. Her debut il
European society was made during q
summer sojuurn at the baths ut HON.
burg, and she was afterwards the star
or more than ole London season Miss
Grant, who is a dainty AMI dazzling
brunette OF almost faultlesS loveliuesS,
has been immensely admired not only in
London soriety, but in the most brilliant
circles at Cannes and Nice When she
goes to visit the Riviera she is usually
the guest OF the Baroness Won Hoffman.
Miss Mitchell is the most perfectly
beautiful OF all the American bellies
who in the last few years have created
a sensation in European society. Her
lustrous dark eyes, exquisite features
and camelliapetal complexion, Joined to
a neck and shoulders of statue perfect
mould, compose an image OF delicate
and dainty IovelineSs that il not To be

SOME purely commercial art assocIa-
tious in New York have been doing a
profitable business in competition with
individual art dealers by taking advan-
tage OF the provision of the Tariff law
permitting societies for the promotion
Of science, art or industry to import
such articles free of duty by giving a
six months bond for export. Instead
Of paying duties and running the risk of
sales like other dealers, these associa-
tons paid duty only when the article
was sold. II it remained unsold II was
exported before the end OF six months.
It would be good thing TO have art
objects admitted free of duty, but if
they are to be taxed at all the tax should
be uniform as TO all dealers. Assistant
Secretary Tichenor has given a decision

associations out of the list Of organiza-
tions, such rs the Academy of the Fine
Arts, entitled to this special privilege
Of importing in bond for six months.
