Scauop Shells.

In olden times when pilgrims came
from the Holy Land they wore as an
emblem Of their VOWS pretty brown
and white shell, called st. James shell,
now better known as scallop shell.
Large shells Of this kind were early
utilized as baking dishes, and have
given their name TO great number Of
excellent scalloped or ''escalloped"
preparations of fish and meat. OF late
years luxurious taste has demanded
something more costly, and silver shells
in the shape of the old sea shell, at $50
q dozen, have taken the place Of
scallop shells at sixty cents q dozen.
The smaller scallop shells are exceed
ingly pretty for many decorative pur-
poses. Their wavy shape and delicate
hues Of brown and cream are SO beau
tiful that they have been used for fancy
work by many people who would have
been shocked if they had known the
shell was as common as an oyster, and
was thrown away from our market
stalls by the bulk.
The natural scallop shell is covered
with rough coating, which is easily re-
moved by soaking it in n weak solution
of chlorate of lime and water, in pro-
portion of half a pound of lime to d gal
lon of water The shells must each be
pierced four times on each side of the
base and once higher up on each side If
they are TO be sown on velvet or silk to
border a cushion or form a wreath
around the base OF a pretty circular
work bag This is done with a single
drop Of caustic. Only tiny drop must
be used, and a hole must be instantly
drilled through with strong needle.
As soon as hole is pierced the shell
must be dropped in cold water to stop
the action of the acid, which might
otherwise spread. As soon as the shells
are pierced varnish them with the finest
white varnish used by artists. 1t will
hardly show, but will bring out the col
ors as holding shell in water does

a Dose of Her Own Medicine.

"Talk about woman's inconsistent
cy! Well, had an example of it to-
night that fairly took my breath away"
and the speaker took puff at his CT
gar. II was at the theatre, and of
course my seat was directly behind
one which contained woman with q
big hat. The hat was not only high,
but it was topped off with waving
plumes, and it soon started In to spoil
the evening for me- The woman bob
bed her head from side to side in a way
IL at played the deuce with my nerves,
because was kept jumping from side
to side in my efforts to catch glimpses
of the actors. At first didn't know
what was the cause of her activity, but
finally I discovered that the woman in
front of her had on even bigger hat
than she wore herself. Well, / gave up
try ing TO see the stage the rest of the
first act and devoted myself to enjoy
ing the plight of my tormcntor, as she
lodged on this side and then on that
to avoid the big hat in front of her.
AT the end of the act / got another
seat, where 1 could see both the stage
and the woman who had sat before me.
She wasn't young or pretty (women
who wear big hats at the theatre sell
dom are), and l confess took great
glee In seeing her 60 through the con-
tortions through which she had recently
put me. She became furious, and
dropped remarks to her husband which
l was sure were by no means compli-
mentary to the woman in front.
After the play l managed to get
alongside the woman and walk out Of
the theatre at her elbow If she wasn't
muttering all the spiteful things imagin-
able to her husband about the poor
creature whose hat had put her in such
a temper, and bless you, it probably
never occurred to her that she had been
doing the same thing herself which she
thought SO mean In her guilty sister I
hope that her experience taught her to
look for the beam in her own eye first,
but I've no idea it did."-New York
Tribune.

Hail, Bishop valentinel whose day this is;
All the air is thy diocese,
And all the chirping choristers
And other birds are thy parishioners;
Thou marryest every year
The lyric lark and the grave whispering dove;
The sparrow that neglects his life for love,
The household bird with the red stomacher;
