How Folks sleep in Para.


Everybody in this country sleeps in ham
moeks, or, as they call them, redes. IN
each house will probably be found one
draped with canopy OF lace or mosquito
netting and dressed, as the ladies say, with
sham pillows, creating the impression that
it is more for ornament than for use. If
there be a dozen in a family, each will have
his or her own rede, and if necessary be
prepared to take it lp and walk.
The redes may be of different colors, but
rs a rule the majority are of white material
that may be washed. The girls of the fam
lily will have their redes strung in one
room side by side, merely giving one
another sufficient room to swing freely,
and they all swing and talk themselves to
sleep, the pendulum motion of the redes
only ceasing when they become too weary
to reach out and kick it into motion again.

The Fish just Climb Aboard.

The use of fire in fishing is one of the
curiosities of that employment. IN south
ern waters lIullet are taken in enormous
quantities by boats which go out with
wire baskets at the bows filed with blaz-
ing pitch pine. For the purpose in view
the craft is SO loaded as to bring the gun
vale on one side down nearly to a level
with the water, and the fish, attracted by
the light, jump aboard by hnndreds.
Sometimes big dip net is used to scoop
in the scaly creatures which crowd in the
water toward the illumination.-Inter

Yet She Died and Loft IT,

The halls of Mrs. Hopkins Searless pal
ace at Great Darlington, like the halls in

lights are set in pillars of onyx and shed
refulgent glow, soft tinted by their passage
through the stone. The music room is so
feet long and AZ feet high, of quartered oak
and paneled in stpeeo Of ivory tint. Each
panel contains costly oil painting, an idea
bf the value of which may be had from the
fact that one Of them dropped from a
freight car and in the settlement was Va4-
ued at $4,000. The organ cost $4,000.
There are forty rooms in the house and all
are furnished in prodigal disregard for

Her Little scheme.

Dealers in old furniture have some queer
stories to tell about women. One is about
a silk petticoated creature who greatly adj
mired a certain quaint mahogany side
board. She came into the shop and exam
ined it carefully several times, and on one
occasion distracted a small portion of the
carving.
On her next visit she offered the dealer a
certain price, which was far below the one
he had demanded, and at the same time
said she had discovered that y piece of the
woodwork was missing. The dealer dared
not ACCUSE her Of the theft. but he is NOR
ally certain that she committed it, and
tells the story in perfect good faith.-New

-Four Perfect Women.

The Prophet Mohammed is reported to
have said that among men there had been
many perfect, but not more than four OF
the other sex have attained perfection-to
wit, Asiah, Mary, Khadijah and Fatima."
Asiah was the wife of the Pharaoh of the
Exodus. She forsook the faith of her
fathers, on account of which her husband
subjected her to many cruelties The
Virgin Mary was the second perfect
woman, Mohammed stating that "she had
been exalted above all the women of the
world" Khadijah was the first wife OF
the prophet "a princess among women"
Fatima, according to Mohammed, was the
fourth perfect woman, she being his be-
loved aughter.-London Tit-Bits.

A POETS WORKSHOP.
The Immortal Browning Wrote His Last
illusions in Kitchen.

ILuusioHs III u AlICnen.
"What curious place to selectr" was
my first thought as stood at the door of
the queer old house. walked up twelve
or fifteen hard stone steps. grasping the
banister to guide myself in the dark, and
vss soon warmly welcomed by Signora
Nina Tabacchi as, passing through the
kitchen, i was ushered into the sitting
room. "Scrupulously clean and neat, "
was my next impression, but how plain!
This cradle of "Asolando" was only a piece
of the kitchen partitioned off for back par
lor purposes, a glass door and window
separating the two.
The thin cotton curtain might possibly
screen the mysteries of culinsry processes
from the poets eye but his ear must have
been caught by occasional sounds of hack
ing and chopping, and certainly no kettle
could have boiled, no wood could crackle
or incense arise from that adjacent hearth
without making itself distinctly notice
able. Such-was his study and his drawing
room, a ,nultum in parvo, about twelve feet
square.
The furniture is of the good old lodgings
type-that is, as regards the style only, for
Signora Tabacchi would not tolerate flaw,
a spot or a tarnish, as do some of the older
school of landladies. There is a large
round pedestal table with a red cloth table
cover. inoffensive in it's pattern; one half
was devoted to his papers; on the other
luncheon was served for his sister and him
self. A full length sofa, uncompromis-
ingly hard, takes up the greater part of one
wall; kind of sideboard stands opposite.
On the chiffonier, between the two win
dows, rests the looking glass. and half
dozen mahogany chairs, cane bottomed
and severe backed, but of good old design,
complete the arrangements. On. the flesh
colofed walls hang series of prints, illus
trating events in the history of Venice.
Doges are disporting themselves in most
conventional attitudes, the vanquished are
