1T RUINS DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.

Notice also the effect of this crime upon
domestic happiness. 1t has sent its ruth
less plowshare through hundreds of fam
lilies, until the wife sat in rags, and the
daughters were disgraced. and the sons
grew up to the same infamous practices or
took short cut TO destruction across the
murlerer's scaffold. Home has lost ali
charms for the gambler. How tame are
the children's caresses and wife's devotion
to the gamberl How drearily the fire
burns on the domestic hearthl There must
be louder laughter, and something to win
and something to lose; an excitement to
drive the heart faster and flip the blood
and fire the imagination. No home how
ever bright, can keep back the gamester.
The sweet call of love bounds back from
his iron soal, and ell endearmeuts are con
sumed IN the flame of his passion. The
family Bible will go after all other treas
ures are lost. and if his crown in heaven
were put into his hand he would CRY: Here
goes one more game, my boysl On this one
throw | stake my crown Of heaven" A

FRILLS OF FASHION.

Spring woolens are liked best in un-
dyed colors.
Drapery for mantel shelves has gone
out of fashion.
The fuchsia has made its appearance
on hats and bonnets.
There is a fancy for Mechlin and
Limerick designs in laceS.
Gray and pale green are the popular
shades for tennis gowns.
Twenty-four inches is the average
size of woman's waist.
dutch Treat" theater parties have
been very common during the winter.
Candies are served out regularly to
families like flowers or milk, or even
meat.
Black lace capes which reach to the
knees are among the novelties of the
season.
Partisan women are copying the
Americans in making great display OF
jewelry.
New ball dresses made in Paris have
square necks and not a vestige of
sleeves.
Finger rings are getting larger. The
long marquise shape is especially liked.
Finely beaded crepons are imported
to use as sleeves and full vests of rich
dresses.
A novelty in coats is a black blazer
with rolled collar and scalloped edges
all around.
Foulards this season are ornamented
with white embroiderieS or with old
guipure lace.
Society in London has taken up the
most intricate dances as a feature of
evening parties.
Although the fastenings of dresses
are mostly invisible, many new buttons
have been brought out.
A charming new lace pin has made its
appearance. 1t is small SPRAY of
maldenhair set in emeralds.
Ihe hgures in the new brocndeS are
SO large that not more than three or four
are to be seen in yard of material.
travelling ulsters Of mohair, pongee
and brilliantine have quite put out of
countenance the old-fashloned linen
duster.
A girl who wore dark blue coat
spotted with large gold polka spots was
the observed of all observers in a train
the other day.
The large amount of candy which
American girls consume is said to cause
the 'going off" III compilations and the
early decaying of teeth.
1t was anticipated in the early part of
the season that there would be a great
demand for jackets, but as time goes on
capes seem to be the only outside gar
ments in favor.
The spring fashions in Paris are nsu-
ally displayed at the horse show, which
takes place about the last week in April,
but the days were cold this year and the
new costumes were not so prevalent.

Tramp.
Ashland Special to n. Y. Recorder.
Jacob Mendock, wealthy farmer re-
siding at Pittman. this county, died a
few weeks ago and left $4,000 sewed up
in an old coat. Mendock was pros
porous business man, and by strict
economy managed to accumulate large
about six years ago, and, having no
children, lived alone on his farm and
took his meals with his employees at a
neighboring farm house. 1t was fire.
quently mentioned that he had money
concealed about the house, and the
subject was often discussed among the
farm hands. A tramp came along one
day, and. hearing of the Secreted thou
sands. at once set about to gain posses
sion of the money.
He applied to Mendock for employ
ment, and gave his name as Charles
Wilson. He related a sorrowful tale,
how he had been left alone in the
world, his parents having died when he
was quite young. He was apparently
twenty-five years old, and his story
farmer and Wilson was given a place
in the field. He worked hard and soon
won the respect and favor of his en-
ployer. On the 10th of March the
farmer took sick and requested Wilson
to take charge of the work of clearing
the fields until he was able to be about.
This gave him the privilege he desired,
and he made good use of it. Mendock
grew worse, and his condition became
so alarming that he drew package of
letters from under his pillow and re-
quested Wilson, in case he should die,
to deliver them to his brother. William

ing day.
Wilson left the room shortly after
ward, and, tearing tie seal on the let
ters, found the one he wanted. 1t re-
vealed the hiding place of the mans
wealth, and he was not slow in gaining
possession of the money. He went to
the attic, where the coat with the money
sewed in the lining was secreted, and,
pocketing it, vacated the premises,
leaving the letter on the floor with the
torn coat. MendOck died during the
night, and when his brother arrived the
next day, the neighborS reported the
disappearance of Wilson, and, suspect
ing harm, suggested search. The let
ter and the coat were discovered, but
there is no trace of Wilson.

ROYALTY AT TABLE.
Description of a Dinner Given in
Vienna to the King and Queen

Vienna to the King and Queen
of Italy.
American Analyst.
There is no table in the whole world
that is served so daintily or artisticafy
as that of the Austrian court. The
damask is so fine that it looks like
satin, and for lunch or afternoon tea is
replaced by heavy white silk cloths and
napkins, edged with Point de Venice
and adorned with the imperial crest in
raised gold embroidery. The viands are
prepared so prettily that it seems al
most pity to break up and eat them,
and the fairies themselves might feast
on the tempting pieces monteeS pre-
pared by the artist who presides over
the imperial kitchens.
Particularly L remember dinner
given in honor of the king and queen of
Italy at the Hofburg. in Vienna. some
years ago, as the eliminating point of
luxury combined with the most refined
and exquisite taste. The tablecloth
was strewn with forced violets, nesting
so close to one another that they formed
q perfect bank of fragrant blossoms.
leaving only room for the plates of semi
transparent Sevres of the Famille rose.
each Of which was Sufmounted with a
thick garland of margueriteS. Mar
guerite being the Christian name of the
queen of Italy, her little nameSake had
been used with great profuSion in the
decoration of the festive board. Before
the plate of each lady slender tulip
shaped vase of Venetian glass mounted
III finely wrought gold contained bou-
quet of margueriteS and violets, pow
dered with diamond dust. The menus
mere engraved OH thin sheets of ham
Wered silver, with the Austrian eagle
embossed OH the corner. EVERYTHING
was served on gold, and the dessert
plates were marvel of beauty worthy
Of Benvenuto-Cellinl.
When the sorbetS were placed before
the distinguished guests faint murmur
of admiration was audible. For even
the blaSe eyes of people satiated with
every form of luxury were charmed
with the little double-headed eagles
made OF delicately spun sugar, perched
OH pale pink glass ball containing a
tiny electric light. On the back of each
diminutive bird was large daisy, also
made of spun sugar, wherein the sorbets
were served, and the gold plates on
which the whole rested were garlanded
with Parma violets.
The dinner was really what one may
describe without eXaggeratIOn as being
the apotheosiS of gastrOnomy. The dim
ing hall, scented as with dreamy in
censes, and lighted with mellow wax
candles, the soft brilliancy of which
would have entranced even Lucullus
had he been throned there on his ivory
chair, was sight to be remembered.

FRESH EGGS.
The Customer Had Sure Way of
Testing Them.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
''Sure these eggs are fresh?" inquired
a man with basket on his arm, peer
ing into an oblong box in a grocery
store on Chicago avenue yesterday
morning and looking suspiciously at the
proprietor.

'Those eggs are perfectly fresh. They're
from the country"
What are they worth?''
"IWenty-five cents a dozen, and |
don't make a cent on them at that

L think Ed rather have 'em," observed
the customer doubtfully. "Tell you
what I'll do. If you'll let me test a
dozen or so by way of my own, and
they turn out to be all right, I'll give
you 80 cents dozen for them. If any
are little too subsequent, as it were,
you give me the dozen tor nothing.
How does that strike you?"

Whiz! An egg thrown with terrific

Say" called out the grocer in an ap-
peallng tone. Lets compromise this
thing: Take the eggs for 20 centsl''
I'D prefer to pay so cents for them if
they are sound"

lngly, "you can have 'em for 10-5-2115 |!

customer, putting the egg back in the
oblong box and picking up his basket,
''but. Christopher Columbus, l don't

duce my new way of testing them. See
you again some time. Good morning"

Jay Gould is now more potent in the

prophets of Wall street declare that a
great speculative era is at hand. If they
have read the signs Alright then fortune
is at Mr.. Gould's beck. The street
has passed through the most protracted
period of depression ever known. There

since the birth of Prescott's Conquest
OF Mexico" this ill-conceived idea has
been ousted, and that far-away country
has risen to Its merited position in the
world of letters. Nine. de Barrios,
who YaS born and brought up
in Guatemala, where her late
husband ruled as president and
met his death in honorable battle. was
ever fond of visiting Mexico, and count
ed among her dearest friends MeXicans
Of rank and station. She gathered from
them romances, histories and books of
lore of their ancestors creation. and
now they are as gold mine to her, for
exclusively she holds the only copy of
many valuable publications. Bright
colors abound in the decoration of
her apartments. and her boudolr
is a dream in pink and blue. The
furniture is Venetian carved, the wood
being Italian walnut. The inlaid de-
sign is elaborate and deep. Nine. de
Barrios also has two old-fashi0ned
criss-cross chairs. They are sometimes
monk was supposed to have used such a
one in his cell. They were made in
Venice early in the thirteenth
century. These handsome specimens
which attract so much attention from
Nine. de BarrioS' friends are made of
dark wood inlaid in tarsia or italian
marquetry, with strips of white wood
and ivory worked out in ''pique" in the
finest triangle on the ivory background.
In the center of the back is queer
crest, probably the insignia of some old
nobility. Nine. de Barrios has never

Mrs. Burton Harrfson's Drawing
Room.
There is not a more elegant or more
popular hostess in all New York than
Mrs. Burton Harrison. Each visitor, no
matter how insignificant or unimport-
ant. goes away from her gatherings
with the feeling that she received spe-
cial consideration from the gracious
hostess. Her rooms are always thrOnged
with the celebrities. and the day follow
ing a reception some thankful guest
will be heard to say: {.
"Oh, Mrs. Harrison! She is delight
fully popular. Everybody likes her;
and her drawing room-oh, that is so
beautifully odd, SO distinctly original!
The idea of having an aquarium right
in the parlor, and of decorating the
whole side of the wall with water-color
paintings, and of Ornamenting the
chairs With handmade lace tides! And
so many colorS as there are, nobody but
Mrs. Harrison could ever combine and
make her drawing room look half
decent. Harlequin furnlture-that is,
a chair of crimson tapestry, another of
French sateen, another of Administer
plush, and so on, each different in color,
shape and size-is present in numerical
confusion, but perfect harmony"
Thus people talk and wonder about
Mrs. Harrlson's home decorations, and
thus they try to initiate her and always
fail. AT her summer home, "Sea Urch-
ins," in Bar Harbor village, she has
nothing utstraW mattlngs on the floors
strewn with rugs of all designs. Every
thing is in Oriental effect, the shades
OH the windows are of bamboo. the
pictures are quaint and singularIy
unique in coloring, and the furniture is
rustic and odd.

BRUIN AT A BALL.
a Bear Attends a Fashionable
Dance and Then Paints the
Town..

Dance anu Inen rants the
Town.
Philadelphia Press.
A pet bear belonging to Dewitt Nc
Dowell, of this city. which had been
taught to open doors. shake hands,
dance, etc., escaped from his cage last
night and for a time created consterna-
ton among large number of people.
A fashionable ball was in progress at
the time, and bruin was attracted by
the music. There was funny scene in
the ball room when he entered, and
raising himself on his hind legs, volun-
teered to shake hands with a number
of persons. and then began to dance.
There was grand rush for the doors,
and several ladies attempted to Jump
out of the windows.
After he had finished his waltz the
bear was coaXed from the room and
then began to paint the town and sue
ceeded in frightening half the inhab-
itantS almost out of their senses. En-
tering the ST. Charles hotel he climbed
the stairs and Wabbled into one room
after another, routing out the guests IN
their night clothes and incidentally
damaging the furniture. Having had
all the fun he wanted with the guests,
to amuse himself by trying to enter the
residences of the solid citizens. Being
closed to uninvited guests he was un-
able to effect an entrance into any of
them, but he convinced the inhabitants
that burglars were at work. and one
alarm after another was sent in to the
police station, until every officer on the
force was on the trail of the marauder.
Meeting one Henry Foster on the
street he struck him playful blow on
the side of the head, knocking him
down and making some ugly wounds.
Finally he entered the National Bank
building through side hallway,
climbed the stairs to the third floor and
walked into the room of Julius Behrend.
That gentleman jumped from bed pre-
pared to shoot burglar. but when he
saw what it was he rushed into the II all
and shut the bear in, where he was soon
afterward captured.
