How repulsive is bad breath, and yet how many
otherwise attractive polite, and particular people
aflict their friends with the foul odor of their
breath. If there remedy for this. it might
excite our sympathy, but there is need of hav-
ing a foul BREATH it is an objectionable breach of
good manners to obtrude such an offense on good
society. Foul breath arises from disordered dges-
ton which can be corrected by using Sulphur Bit
ters, and the result will be pure, sweet breath.

The Duchess Won.

The London clubs are laughing over
the story of the Duchess of Montrose
and Mrs. Bancroft. The Duchess en-.
gagged st. Georges Hall one night e
rehearse a company of amateurs fol
a society entertainment at her home,
On her Grace's arrival at the hall she
found the stage in the possession OF
Mrs. Bancroft, who was rehearsine a
professional company in piece writ
ten by herself. The Duchess said.
haughtily:
..This is. my stage and / want it,
Mrs. Bancroft replied sweetly: aNo.
Duchess, the stage is mine and want
it." ~
81 say, woman, it's my stage, : shout.
ed the Duchess. -s@s
Then take it, smiled the actress.
The Duchess then called up her anna
teurs and began refearsing at one side
OF the stage. The actress called up
her professionals and continued re-
hearsing on the other. At last the
Duchess, losing patience, began to use
language more forcible than polite.
The actress tried hard to give the
Duchess as good as she sent, but was
no match for her horsy grace; SO draw
ing her skirts well above her ankles
she looked the Duchess up and down,
then turned to her company and
said said Ladies and gentlemen, let us
leave these common people, and so
departed under a volley from the
duchess. The hall had been let to
both. 4.

What Colors will Photograph.

The time was when the photographer
required certain colors in dress to pro-
duce good effects. Now, with experi-
ence and the improvements in chem
sicals, these restrictions are removed.
He can photograph white as we'll as
black. The capable artist prides him
self on his ability to show the most
delicate and elaborate lace-work on the
bridal dress.
With these restrictions no longer
necessary, | would saywear your
most becoming dress.
Blue and pink will photograph white.
Purple will appear many shades
lighter than it is in reality.
Red and deep yellow appear black, or
nearly so.
Strong contrasts in dress or trim
.mings will give a gaudy effect.
Subdued and quiet colors make the
neat picture. For example see the pict-
u, Of Of. nuns. or the lovely pictures Of
Quaker ladies. The Ladies' Home

How An Englishman Takes a Joke.

You know that old joke Of the
Chicago lawyer whose name was
Strange? It's real roasted chestnut.
Strange had not good reputation.
When he died he said to his wife: 81

carved, Here lies an honest ma ~
."But how will they know it's your
tombstone?" asked the wife. ssOh!
they will say, That's Strange g Well, /
told that to my audience and they didn't
see it at all. Only one exceedingly
bright Englishman Uttered. Next time
I made it a London lawyer, and that
helped me little.
The worst of it was that some time
afterward met an English friend who
said: Il have now really a good story
for you. Listen. There was once a
solicitor and his name was-what was
his namep Oh, / have it. His name
was Strange. Well, he died, and lust
before he died he called to his wife. and
said he: Mrs, Mrs. what was her
name? Mrs. Strange, that's it. Mrs.
Strange, says he, I want real stun
ming funeraland tombstone, and on
it have put, Here lies virtuous man.
| forgot to tell you that Strange was
rather shady. Seep Well, his wife
said: ! will strictly follow your in
Junction, but how the dickens she
asked, will they know your namep'
Why, easily enough said he. They
will say, What an extraordinary per-
formance to be sure!'' Take? Devilish

A Lobster Cove.

The following scheme for keeping
live Holsters has been started by a Bos-
ton man in Southport, Me-: A large
cove has been purchased and damned
up so that it forms saltwater lake.
When the Holsters are brought from.
the fishermen they are put into this
lake and kept until later in the season.,
when fewer Of the fish are caught and
the price is higher. The dam is so
built that q gate can be raised and the
water let out and in again with the tide,
thus having pure sea water at all times
IN the cove. As many as 5, 600 Holsters
can be kept In this place at time.
When the owner wants to get a lot he
raises the cato at low tide, lets the wa
ter run out, and then picks up all that
he wants. - -

Postage Stamps.

AS soon as they emerge from the hy-
draulic press postage stamps are gum
med. The paste is made from clear
starch, or rather its dextrine, which is
acted upon chemically and then boiled,
forming clear, smooth, slightly sweet
mixture. Each sheet of stamps is
taken separately, placed upon fiat
board. and its edges covered with
light metal frame. Then the paste is
smeared on with wide whitewash
brush and the sheet is laid between
two wire racks and placed on pile
with others to dry. Great care is taken
IN the manufacture of this paste. which
is perfectly harmless. This gratifying
fact has been conclusively proved by
an analysis recently made BY an emin-
ent chemist. After the cumming an
other pressing in the hydraulic press
follows. Then another counting-in
fact, stamps arescounted no less than
thirteen times during the process of
manufacture. The sheets are then cut
IN half each portion containing 100
stamps, this being done by girls with.
ordinary hand shears. Next follows
the perforation, which is performed BY
machinery. The perforations are first
made in perpendicular line and after
ward in a horizontal line. Another,
pressing follows-this time to get rid
OF the raised edges on the back of the
stamps made by the dies, and this ends
the manufacture. a separate apart
ment is devoted to the packing and
sending off the stamps to different post
offices. 1t twill be seen by this account
that any absurd rumor concerning the
poisonous or unclean properties Of
postage stamps is utterly without
foundation.

A Horses Sense Of Smell.

The horse will leave lnusty hay nm
touched in his hin, however hungry.
He will not drink of water objections
bic to his questionable sniff, or from a.
bucket which some odor makes often
siye, however thirsty. His intelligent
nostril will widen, CULVER, and query
over the daintiest bit offered by the
fairest of hands, with coaxings that
would make mortal shut his eyes and
swallow a nauseous mouthful at a gulp.
A mare is never satisfied by either
sight or whinny that her colt is really
her own, until she has a certified nasal
certificate to the fact. "A blind horse.
now living, will not allow the approach
of any stranger without showing signs
of anger not safely to be disregarded.
The distinction is evidently made by
his sense of smell, and at consid-
cradle distance. Blind horses, as a
rule, will gallop wildly about pasture
without striking the surrounding fence.
The sense of smell informs them of its
proximity. Others will, when loosened
from the stable go directly to the gate
or bars opened to their accustomed
feeding grounds, and when desiring to
return, after hours Of careless wander
ing, will distinguish one outlet and
patiently await its opening. The odor
Of that particular part of the fence is
their pilot to it.
The horse, in browsing, or while
gathering heritage with its lips, is
guided in its choice of proper food en-
tirely by it's nostrils. Blind horses do
not make mistakes in their diet. In
the temple of Olympus a bronze horse
was exhibited, at the sight of which six
real horses experienced the most vio-
lent emotions. ELAN judiciously oh.
serves that the. most perfect art could
not initiate nature sufficiently we'll to
produce so strong an illusion. Like
Pliny and Pausanius, he consequently
atfirms that in casting the statue a
magician had thrown hippomanes upon
it, !" which, by the odor Of the plant. de-
ceiyed the horses, and therein we have
the secret of the miracle. The scent
alone of a buffalo robe will cause many
horses to evince lively terror, and the
floating scent of a railroad train will
brighten some long after the locomo-
tive is out of sight and hearing.

Laughable Event.

a very laughable event occurred
one evening recently at the residence
Of a newly married pair in this city.
The husband being in Boston and not
expected home until the theatre train
at midnight, the bride and some friends,
who had dropped in to pass the even

have some table tippings and spirit
fappings. The first question was
asked by the young wife. Where

raps spelt out the letters: .D-r-u-n-k K. y
The climax was reached a few minutes
after when a telegram came from the

CuRlo slTiEs FROM AFRlc
Things TO Be Seen at tho Stanley Exlaihi-
tlon just Opened In London.

Va ~ f4 s
In the center of the floor Of the lower
gallery, says the London Times, .is a
very fine bust Of MI. Stanley and the
original cast Of the vel known Afri-
can group Of the Albert Memorial. Be-
hind this is a fine specimen Of one OF
Mr.. Du Chaillu's gorillas from the Not
tingham Museum. The main exhibits
in the lower gallery are artistically ar
ranged, to some extent geographically,
! in the numerous panels around the
walls. On one side spears are the con-
spicuous objects. and the variety Of
type is quite striking. We have spears
from Somaliland, the Nasal country,
4 the Congo, Uganda, Swaziland, the
Nyassa region, the Tanganyika region
and it is Instructive to compare the va
rious types. There are the graceful
forms which prevail in the west of
Tanganyika, the rude forms so FREE
quently found in the Congo, the wire
covered handles from the Zambesi and
elsewhere, the frightfully barbed mas
sive heads from certain districts Of the
Congo basin. Nearly all of these
spears, as we'll as other exhibits, have
been collected by explorers whose
names are famous; men like Living
stone, Spoke and Grant, Stanley and
Thomas, Johnson, and many mission
aries. the officials Of the Congo Free
State and others. The exhibitors are
many, all possessing collections hav-
ing been willing to contribute. One
Of the finest collections is, no doubt,
that of Sir Henry Peck, whose spears
especially are Of the most representa-
tive character, while Mr.. Silver has
sent many of the things brought home
by Joseph Thomson.
Equally varied are the types of axes,
many of them of the most ingeniously
elaborate form. Bows and arrows are
not numerous, but shields are plentiful
and varied; and it is of much interest
to note that the true Zulu shields ex-
tend even to the latitude of Zanzibar,
+ where we find tribe who have been
long settled there, and who, though
they have ceased to wander, retain
many of the old Zulu customs. Some
of the personal ornaments are most
extraordinary. There are anklets like
enormous brass plates, with hole
through the center; others made Of
Dars OF copper, eacn over a. pound
weight. Then some of the money
is Of a strange character. One speci-
men from the Congo looks like an
enormous sword, the blade about foot
wide. This is carried about and cut
up as wanted. The utensils of metal
and pottery are as varied and interest,"
ing as the weapons. One exhibit,
which will no doubt interest many visi-
tors is the complete equipment for a
horse brought by Mr.. Thomson from
Sokoto., The stirrups Of brass must
weigh several pounds each, while an
equally heavy brass ornament is used
as frontlet for the horse. All the
other equipment is on a similar mas
siye scale, while the leather work is OF
great beauty and elaboration.

An Excited Mothers Exclamation In the
Court in white Plains.
Mrs. Mary Wilson. by order of the court pro-
duced her two children Lily and Louis. aged
respectively . and IL years. before Judge Dyk-
man at White Plains yesterday. In March
George Wilson. her husband. got a divorce on
the usual grounds. He is lithographer and
owns his own home at Wakefield. After he
procured the divorce no compelled his wife to
leave his homo. and she took the two children
with her. She has since lived with the children
at Wakefield. and 1t is alleged thut she did not
properly care for them.
Wilson produced evidence yesterday to show
that Mrs. Wilson was not proper person to
have the custody, of the children, and tho
Court made an order givin g Ii m tho custody
Of them. Mrs. Wilson on hearing the decision
jumped up from her chair. and began 10 shout

Judge Dykman ordered her to be removed
from the court room. Whiie two officers were
struggling with hor. her hail, came down. She
cursed her husband. and told him that If she
had her way the boy. Louis. would be brought
up thief and tho girl, Lily, an ontcast. Atter
she was removed from the Court House she be-
