The Dude in Paris.

A model of fashion in Paris recently
appeared at the theatre in this, as the
latest agony in evening dress: He wore
TWO studs; his coat collar and lapels were
OF mat silk; the tails of his coat were
very short; his waistcoat buttoned high:
ms cfavat was unadorned; his gloves We're
putty colored and without black stitch
ing the orlm of his hat was flat, and his
cane was gold headed and richly en-
boSsed. He carries a cane in order to
keep his hands out of his pockets. which
Is pronounced to be reprehensible
fashion.-Paris Letter.

1t is related that Gaucho army once
selected its leader after the following
exciting manner: 4 number of totally
wild horses were driven into a corral
whose only exit was a gateway above
which was cross bar. 1t was agreed
that whoever should drop from the bar
upon one of the animals as it rushed out
and break it then and there without
saddle or bride should be their general.
The feat was likely to cost the candidate
his life, but it was successfully accom- .
pllshed. Who will doubt that the for
tunate man was a fit leader for such an
army?-T. C. Harbaugh.

Teaching Humanity In School.

A boy in school was having very funny
time, by sticking pin into the legs of the
boy who sat next him, and laughing at bis
antics The teacher caught sight of the pro
ceed.ng, and taking pin. went to the first
mentioned boy and said: Would you like
to have pin stuck into you like thatr He
laughed as though he thought it might be
capital joke, whereat the teacher used the
pin rather freely, and his jumpings and
squirmings, accompanied by his "ows!" and
endeavors to save himself by the use of his
hands, attracted the attention of the whole
school The teacher finally asked him what
was the matter and why he did not sit
quietly, and when he SAID that he couldn't
lit hurt, so, the teacher said: "Well that
is just the way it feels to other people. Have
you had enough of it,"
de was very decided in his opinion that he
had, and the teacher took occasion to say 81
few words to the school in regard to their
treatment, not only of each other. but of
the lower animals. She said: 81 saw how
kill a toad last night, and wondered If he
knew the toad is a help to US, and if he
thought OF the toad's suiferiug.r Most of
'ne boys looked thoughtful, few laughed
an the very boy that killed the toad raised
his hand and said; "What good can n toad

her likeness. and which IS the origin OF
the round mirror of metal which Japan
csc women still use as their only looking

Utilizing Waste Leather.

A most interesting feature of all bust
nesses using leather is that not one par
ticle of the leather is wasted. Our shoe
factories alone sell annually fifty tons of
waste. This goes mainly to firm in
Philadelphia, who pays s. ton for it.
A large amount is sent to Lynn, Mass,
and other points, where the leather is
ground up, mixed with a medium and
pressed into buttons. The remainder
that is not so used is treated chemically,
turned into a gelatinous mass, dried and
ground into fertilizing dust The sole
leather pieces that fall from the block
OF the heel stamper are sorted into two
heaps. The very fine pieces are put with
the fine waste, The scraps, presenting a
surface of couple of square inches, are
barreled up and sold to parties in New
York or Boston at one cent a pound.
where they are put through a peculiar
machine. This instrument splits the
pieces nearly through. Then it opens the
piece thus cut like book. Thence it is
delivered from between rollers, and is
large enough to be again sent to the fac
tory to be cut up into heel lifts.-Balti-

been the central figure in more than
one scandal. Lady Beaumont, just as

spondent or defendant in some very
horrible legal proceedings; and al
though Lord Beaumont, like Lord
Colin, has been unable to secure a dis
solution of his N arriage, yet the evil
depee put forward against his wife
has been fully sufficient to deprive her
of the social prestige ordinarily en- Joy-
ed by peeress of the realm.

Mrs. Blair was the travelling compan-
