COSTA RlCAN MANNERS.
The Most Polite and Most Dishonest PeO-
ple on Earth.

The Most Polite and Most Dishonest PeO-
pie on Earth.
No Costa Rica lady OF gentleman is
ever embarrassed. They always know
how to do and say the proper thing, and
while their courtesy and good manners
are said to be only skin-deop, they arc
the most charming Of companions, the
most generous of hosts, and the most
polite OF gentlemen. No laborer ever
passes a lady on tho street without lift
ing his hat and he touches that always
dirty and generally dilapidated portion
of his apparel when gentleman passes
him. II lady approaches group OF
men digging a cellar, repairing the
street, or what not, even though some
of them may be half naked, they always
salute her respectfully, and in the rural
districts no one ever meets you without
saying, MAY God prosper the object OF
your Journey" or, "May heaven smile
upon your errand," or something in
Spanish like that The same man will
swindle you out Of your eye-teeth II he
gets a chance, and if you ask him how
far 1t is to the next place he will un-
doubtedly tell you a falsehood. lie
doesn't care copper whether you
ever reach the end of your jour
ney, and has no more regard for
your welfare than the flea in the grass,
but he recognizes beautiful custom
and says. "God be with you," as if he
meant it for a blessing. And this polite
ness permeates all classes and castles.
II you enter store with lady every
man there will salute you and remove
his hat out of respect to her. On the
streets the people will stand aside to
let you pass, and it is necessary to do so,
! for the sidewalks are often less than
two feet wide. II you go into a hotel
office, barber-shop, restaurant or any
other public place, every body present
will salute you with "Buenos Deos," or
some friendly welcome. While there is
not particle of sincerity about this;
while the object and end OF life in the
Spanish code of ethics is to get along
with as little work and as much swim
ding as possible, they are certainly to
be praised for cheating you in the most
polite and agreeable manner possible.
| A Spanish highwayman does not swear
at you and command you to give him
| your money or your life; he makes a
profound bow, places his hand upon his
heart, assures you that he is devoutly
grateful that you are looking so we'll,
and regrets that he is compelled by
pressing necessities to request that you
will loan him whatever valuables you
have upon your person. Then thanking
you for your promptness and courtesy
| in sparinp him the painful duty oi
shooting you through the head, he will
mount his horse and ride off with 6
prayer that the Almighty will protect
you from the perils OF your journey

PALACE OF SILENCE.
The Sad, Romantic Story of IA beautiful
New York House.

The Sad, Romantic Story of il BeautIful
New York House.
There is in New York, upon ono Of
the most fashionable thorough fares, n
magnificent house, u yeritnhlc palace,
which can never be looked at by the
sentimental woman without IL tear com
ing to her eye, because of the story at
tached to it.
1t was designed and built by ono Of
tho richest men in New Yorl-the head
of an old Dutch family the woman
he loved. Throughout the whole house,
which might have been called "rhe
House beautiful" were tho colors, fur
nishings, ornaments and dainty touches
that were the young brides taste. Tho
ball room, in which she expected Ia trip
40 many merry measures. was wallod
and ceiled in many colOrcd marbles;
but tho lover himself directed the build
ing of the porto cochere under which
her carriage was to roll, so that step
ping out, she would not be touched by u
drop of rain or a flake of snow. Every
thing was ready; the horses were paw
ing in the stable, waiting for tho day to
come when they would carry their new
footman had their big white rosoLtcs at
| hand to wear on the wedding day; the
house was full of fragrance, for beauti-
ful flowers were maSsed to please tho
coming MISTRESS and every thing seemed
to be in harmony with all this thought-
| ful, loving care; for the sun shons
bright, and it WAS somebody's wedding
day.
Yes; but 1t wasn't an earthly we'd
ding, for when, with quick footsteps, her
mother went to wake the oxpectant
bride, she found her dead. The last
kiss she had given had been to her
lover the night before. Tho last kiss
he ever gave any human being no gave
to her as She rested in her coffin But
he lives on in tho beautiful house and
does with his great fortune Il deal of
good, all in tho name of tho woman he
loved. The shutters are never opened
In that wonderful house, the carriage
has never been used, no feet have
danced in the ball room; but it and
the solitary man are there as cvi-
dences of the fact that Il love can 81
completely fill tho heart that all life is
nothing without it.-LadicS' Home

A REMARKABLE STORY.
An Old Woman's Death Loads to some
Startling Disclosures.

An Old Womans Death Leads to Some
Startling Disclosures.
Ample material for a sensational novel
Ia supplied in the last police reports
from Stockerau, q small town on the left
bank Of the Danube, says the London
Daily News. About a week ago an old
woman of seventy - Theresa Schiller.
was murdered by two visitors, who sue
oeeded in escaping. She was known to
be an old miser, who lived in rags, with
two cats and dogs, in little suburban
house, which stands quite isolated, near
tho railway station. The police made
an inventory of her possessions. After
some search 1t was found that the old
woman must have been in relations with
all the thieves Of the empire. Property
which has been missing for many years
was found on her premises. The clew
was given by the discovery Of a valuable
watch and chain, to which strip of
paper was fastened, with the words:
"Rought this Of S. for six florins."
The watch bore the namo of a we'll
known citizen of Stockerau, out of whose
room 1t had been stolen ten years ago
The old woman's clothes were mere rags,
and the police at first felt reluctant to
touch them; but when splendid
golden pyx, set with precious stones.
fell out of q tattered gown, their
interest was reused, and every cor
ner was searched. In the cellar
large pieces OF gold, no doubt melted
ornaments, were found. In tho loft
there were boxes with trinkets and
jewels, many of which the police recog-
nized as forming part of the Granich-
staedten property, the theft OF which on
tho Graben caused So much commotion
five years ago. In the moldering furni-
ture valuables OF every description were
found, such as chalices, pyxes, golden
candlesticks, beautiful lace, and linen.
In corner of cupboard lay u bag con-
tanning 20, 900 fiorins in gold and shares
and bonds worth upward of 10000
tiorins, Silver spoons and forks were
discovered In all tho kitchen drawers
In little box five black diamonds
were found, which arc said to bo ot
enormous value. Only part Of tho floor
has been pulled up, but large quantities
OF linen and valuable dress materials
were hidden there. At present tho
garden Is being scar ched, as it is sup
posed that she may have buried thingt
there. The whole property found is be
lioved to be worth more than half q
million OF forms; and yet the old wo
man scarcely ever allowed herself dc

KITCHEN ECONOMY.
How Many Saving Women Waste q Great

How Many Saving Women Waste q Great
Deal of Money.
"Many a young wife" said motherly
woman the other day, would find the
wheels of her household moving much
more smoothly II she would spend a
little less money on the furnishing of
her drawing room and devote it, in
stead, to supplying her kitchen with
labor-saving appliances and plenty Of
utensils. Economy in kitchen utensils
may easily be pushed too far, and if
there is another place where a woman
may be more readily excused than an
other for extravaganza 1t Is just there.
"To have to stop in the middle of
making q desert in order to clean O
saucepan or kettle in which the soup
has been prepared, because you have
not another, is folly when soup kettles
can be had for twenty-five cents each.
To have your kitchen knives of such
poor metal that they will not stay sharp,
or to let good knife remain dull be-
cause you think you can not afford to
spend ten cents TO have 1t sharpened,
is real waste of strength out of
all proportion to the saving. To
have nothing by which you can
measure your ingredients accurately,
because 1t costs more to buy a set of
weights or a graduated glass measure
than to trust to guess-wOrk and an old
tea cup, has spoiled many good dish
that cost just as much and has brought
humiliation on many good cook. To
scrape your porridge pot with spoon
because you will not buy patent pot,
scraper for twelve cents wears out ten
spoons to one pot-scraper, and the hired
girl invariably selects your best spoon
for that purpose. Sitting the GOAL ashes
Is such dirty business as 1t Is usually
performed and the servant kicks agains,
it so vigorously that the most economical
housekeeper soon abandons it in despair
A patent ash-sifter that allows no dus,
to escape and preserves all the half
burned coal will pay for itself in one
winter and last five. A cheap refriger
ator can be had for one-third tho cost O
q good one Of the same size, but II yol
buy 1t your loo bill will be twice as large
"rhere is hardly any thing in the
