Henry Grady's Wife.

1t has always seemed doubtful
whether the aspiring, clever woman is
the one best suited to mate with man
of talent. She is often too severe q
tonic, and getting such universal adu-
lation and spurs to her ambition out
side. it is advisable to have mental as
well as physical relaxation at home 1t
is related by friend of Mr. Grady's
that, coming in after an exciting DAVIS
work. he looked eagerly about for
Miss julie" as he called her. She
was nowhere to be seen at first, but
finally her husband discovered her in
corner of their luxurious library,
immersed in book. So absorbed was
she in preparing French lesson for q
fashionable class. recently organized
in Atlanta, that for the first time since
their marriage Mrs. Grady was obliv-
ious of her husbands presence. He
looked at her for a moment with an
expression of positive pain on his face,
then going forward gently took the
volume from her hand. please don't
do that" he begged. You are the
one person who loves me for myself
alone. without knowing or caring
whether | am genius or fool. If

Successful Experiments in Electro
Plating.

One day, about three years ago. .
silver-plater named Downing took a
fresh egg. and, after proper prepare
ton. threw it into the silver bath and
turned on the battery. The result was
what appeared to be delicate work of
art-a silver egg, which, under a strong
glass, showed all the minute pores of
the shell. The egg was exhibited for
over year, and not one person in q
hundred would believe that it was any
thing but cunning specimen of the
silversmith's art. To settle q discus
sion. which ran high one day. Mr..
Downing seized sharp, heavy knife,
cut the silver egg in twain. and it was
found to be as fresh aud sweet as the
day it was electroplated. The egg had
been Theoretically sealed. He then be-
gan series of experiments in the line
of his trade, which were highly success
full. and have opened up most
astounding possibility-the embalming
OF the dead in casts of nickel, silver, or
gold. according to the purses and artis-
tic desires of the survivors of the de:

Sam Jones Skins a Dude.

sentenced for life, serve more than
that period. They die or are par

Picturesque People of Bolivia.

Our party has been much interested
of late in accounts of the Yuracares,
tribe of wild Indians who inhabit the
eastern frontier of Bolivia. They wear
but one garment sort of shirt made
from the bark of tree, the bark being
beaten thin until it resembles cloth.
They paint these shirts in all kinds of
groteSque figures using bright colors
extracted from the various dye plants.
On state occasions the cacique also
wears pigtail made from the shells
of nuts. the backs of green beetles.
and gay feathers from parrots and
macaws; beside which he and his peo-
pie further enhance their beauty bv
painting black rings around their arms
and legs. One would think that nature
had made them dark enough. but they
evidently entertain different opinion,
and make use of kind of fruit like an
apple. which. when rubbed on the
skin. turns it black as ink. Then they
redden their cheeks with the juice of a
berry and paint scarlet rings around
the eyes and mouth. From each ear a
silver coin is suspended. Around the
neck is a string of beads and berries.
with a Difu wing or claw OF some
wild animal for pendant.
As a proof that they are rather proud
of their appearance. each carries a bag
containing few articles for use ia
adjoining himself; comb made from
thongs of the palm tree; a quantity of
the fruit and berries for painting the
skin black and red; a pair of pincers
(Which are nothing but two mussel
shells), for pulling out any superfluous
hair that makes its appearance; snuff
box made from snail shell; and the
musical instrument of which he is most
fond-the polished bone from stork's
leg or that of monkey, which. being
round and hollow. answers very well
for flute or whistle. especially as it is
noise he desires and not tune
