WASHINGTON SPOONS.
A Fad That Is Taking Strong Hold on
People of Means.

Of late the fad of collecting odd silver
spoons has taken a strong hold on
people who have plenty of money to
spend. Lots of people who have re-
Gently returned from Europe are show
ing admiring friends the collections
they made while abroad. No two spoons
should ever come from the same town,
and each should have as much of a
story as possible connected with the
place where it was bought and the man
ner of getting it. 1t should be marked
with the name OF the place and the
date. 1t is rather a pretty idea and the
spoons make pleasant mementoes of
ones travels and experiences. Wash
ington jewellers have noticed the de-
mand and are not to be behind in an
swering the call. One of them has
something quite original in this line.
In answer to the question: Haven't
you something novel in spoons, some
thing characteristic of the city, you
know" the would-be purchaser is shown
lot of Washington spoons. These are
rather large and heavy and have a
medallion head of the first President sot
into the bowl. The head is a good one
and is a much prettier setting for a
spoon than one would at first suppose.
Then there are others that are exact
SMILES of teaspoons that belonged to
Mrs. Washington. These are odd and
decidedly popular. Others still have
genuine coins of a century ago set in
the bowl, and a set of dozen punch
spoons have a set of small gold coins
from as many different countries All
these different kinds of spoons have
Washington and tho date OF purchase
engraved on the back. These Wash
ington spoons are especially popular
with foreigners and almost every one
stopping for any length of time in this
city takes something of the sort home
with him. -Washington Star.

NORTHERN LIGHTS.
How Nature Displays Herself in All Her
Grandeur i'll Arctic Lands.


Grandeur i'll Arctic Lands.
Auroras are most frequently seen in
the cold and in the northern temperate
zone, rarely in the southern temperate
zone, and hardly ever in the tropics.
The places where they most frequently
appear lie between the sixtieth and
seventeen degrees of north latitude.
In the form of an oval, they include the
geographical as we'll as the magnetic
north pole, which is to be found on the
peninsula Boothia Felix, Iceland, the
Kara Sea, Northern Siberia, Behring
Strait, Hudson Bay, Labrador and
Greenland. Northern lights have been
seen as far down as the twenty-ffth de.
gree of north latitude. In full splendor,
however, they may be seen only in the
northern polarregion to the seventy-ffth
degree of latitude. Here Nature is
displayed in all her grandeur. When
the sun has set, and the gray veil OF
twilight is cast over the earth,
the northern horizon grows darker
and darker. Soon there may be dis
tinguished segment of the sky more
somber than its background; this is
hemmed in by white concentric arcs of
light Colored rays shoot forth there
from in all directions. They interlace
and intertwine until they seem to be
woven into one fluttering band of color.
And anon it changes to a sea of fire!
The rays leap upward far above the
zenith, form there flaming crown, and
then sink back, to begin anew the Won
drous play. The most beautiful de-
scriptions and trustworthy observations
we owe to Nordenskjold and Ekama.
All explanations which have been at
tempted as to the origin and cause of
northern lights are based on analysis by
the spectroscope, on tho determination
of the elevation, and on observations of
the peculiar behavior of tue magnetic
needle. - Wilhelm Stosz, in Popular
Science Monthly.

SHREWD Mr.. PAULET.
An Englishman who Knew on Which Side
His Bread was Buttered.

His Bread was Isuttered.
William Paulet, first Marquis of Win
chester, who died March IS, 1879, was
remarkable man in several ways. He
was born in humble life, but entered
into court service and gradually rose
from one post of honor and trust to an
other. lie was comptroller and treasurer
of the household to King Henry Will,
while under the boy king who succeeded
he was Lord Treasurer, the Office being
considered the highest in the State. In
recognition of his services, the King en-
nobled him, and finally made him Mar
quis of Winchester. 1t has not been
claimed for him that he had great
ability: he is described, however, as
possessing unusual sagacity. Through
the bloody reign of Mary he held his
high Office, and when Elizabeth and
Professionalism succeeded, he contrived
to still retain his place. In fact, while
every body about him met with misfor-
tune and disaster, Paulet was undis-
turbed and prosperous up to the hour of
his death. He left an enormous fortune,
but also many and voracious descend
| ants, and it was not long before they
had dissipated it. When Paulet was
asked how he managed to keep on the
good side of so many and severe mas
ters, he replied significantly that he
was born of the willow and not of the
oak. The shrewd old man had a habit
of saying pithy things. One of them,.
that there was always the best justice
when the court was absent from Lon
don," is not altogether inapplicable to
the present day. Paulet was ninety
seven years old when he died.-Chicago
