At u Chinese Banquet.

A wealthy Chinese merchant of San
Francisco recently gave banquet to some
prominent New York gentlemen with
whom he had business relations, and many
are the wonders told of the feast. Deli
cacies which to the American palate were
uneatable were mingled with the most de-
licious viands Some of them were easily
recognized, while others were as strange
and unaccountable as the native tongue Of
the host.
Among the many sweets offered for des.
sert were oranges of which the skin had
apparently not been broken, yet from
which the pulp had somehow been myste,
riously removed, half dozen sorts of jelly
having been made to take its place.
The guests We're unable to understand
how so delicate an operation had been ac,
complished, but their astonishment was
increased when the next moment they We're
served with eggs of which the shells were
apparently perfectly whole, yet turned out
to be full of nuts and candies.
Then another course of eggs exactly sim
liar in appearance was laid before them,
and when they broke the shells tiny live
birds came flying out and huttered about
the room.
"How in the world is this managed" one
of the guests cried in astonishment.
"Melican man heap smart" the host an
swered with laugh, "but Mclean man no
flndee out alice things in wolde, alice
samee."
And that was the only satisfaction they
could obtain.-Youth's Companion.

PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

they want to build This almost invariably
results in finding out that their capital is
too small to provide the sort of a home
they want. Dozens of conveniences and
Celebrations turn up which, as they are
talked over, become almost necessities, and
they all increase the cost Of the house. To
make them possible either the size of the
building must be decreased or something
must be sacrificed in its exterior appear
ance-often both. The result is generally
far from satisfactory.
There is one means of economizing in
construction which few people think of,
but which will enable them to accomplish
a good deal with small amount of money.
1t is to make a combination with some one
else and build double house. Each one of
the combiners owns a 25 foot lot. Together
they give frontage of 80 feet. The house is
placed directly in the center of the combined
plot, with the party wall on the center line.
In this way wide passage for light and air
Is secured on each side of the building. The
rooms can be made larger and are better
lighted, and much more pretentious and
attractive design can be built than would
be possible with the same expenditure If
single houses were erected. The reasons
for this are obvious. Two chimneys would
be necessary in each houseif built separate
ly. In erecting the double house the ex
pense Of one chimney and one side wall is
saved outright, besides the advantage Of
duplicating doors, windows, etc.

An Aluminium Steamboat.

Some novel and interesting experiments
have recently been made on the Lake Of
Zurich with steamboat built entirely of
aluminium, which claims to be the first of
its kind. The boat weighs only about half
a ton-viz., about half the weight of an Or
dinary boat of the same size. 1t was built
at Zurich, the metal having been furnished
by the aluminium works in Schatfhausen,
where it is obtained by an electrical pro-
cess, the dynamos being driven, not by
steam engines, but by turbines, which
utilize the water power of the celebrated
falls of the Rhine, so that the boat claims
to be exclusively the product of Swiss
labor and power.
It carries eight persons, and, with Pc
troleum engine of only two horsepower,
easily makes six miles an hour Alumni
um not being subject to rust, the perma-
nent color of the boat is Il beautiful dull
white, while the chimney, being of pol
ished aluminium, shines like silver. The
trial trips Of the boat We're eminently sue
cessful; and it is anticipated that the con-
struction of aluminium steamers, having
the same capacity and only half the weight
of the iron ones now used on Swiss lakes,
has a great future before it.-London
Standard.

bers, bathroom and closets, and smaller
bedroom with practicable oriel window on
the corner, which enlarges the room and
gives pretty interior effect.

The Yachting Cap in the Metropolis.

While the women in Chautauqua are or
ganizing reforms in dress it might be well
to form q vigilance committee in New
York to prowl about the streets with rifles
and cut off the men who are adding to the
general depression of the season by their
startling combinations in the matter of
summer costumes. Pm afraid that the &C.
tors on upper Broadway are responsible
for much of this outburst of incongruity
but.there is good deal of it everywhere.
To see large and wabbly man parading
complacently along Broadway in frock
suit and wearing a finicky looking yacht
ing cap on top of palpably bald head is
one of the things that reconcile one to life
In the suburbs. A frock suit on yacht is
quite as appropriate as yachting cap on
Broadway. Another combination that is
alarmingly prevalent is a suit of white
flannel and a shiny beaver hat. Yesterday
saw number of men with light shoes,
black derby hats silk shirts belted in at
the waist and long tailed coats; but the
yachting cap fever seems to be the f1ercest
and apparently fat men are particularly
susceptible to. their fascination. 1t has
long been noted that very fat women al
ways wear small chip sailor hats.
In car the other day l sat directly op-
posite a large man and larger wife, whose
flabby faces were almost beatific in their
look of satisfaction. l think together the
pair must have weighed at least 400
pounds. The woman wore sailor hat
which would have been small for a ten
year.old girl. 1t enlarged the apparent
size of her face about six fold. The mans
countenance was horid and puffy. He had
small tuft of hair upon his chin and his
eyebrows ran suddenly aloft from the
bridge of his nose at an inquiring angle.
Perched at rakish cast over one eye was
a beautiful little yachting cap with polka
dot band and the owners initials in gold
braid in front. Nothing could possibly
have been more grotesque than the look of
sweet and gentle triumph which both of
those large and habby faces wore.-New

Where the Wealth 10.

The Middle and New England states
possess more money, five times over,
than do all the other states in the
union. We are not now speaking of
real estate values, but of money and
its equivalents, bonds, mortgages and
evidences of credit These states are
great manufacturing communities.
Rhode Island has more personal wealth
than Indiana; Massachusetts, more per
sonal wealth than Iowa, Wisconsin,
Nebraska and Minnesota put together;
New York five fold more than Ohio;
Pennsylvania five fold more than Illi-
nois. Now, why is this? Is it because
the people of the Eastern states named
are more Industrious and more econom-
cause nature has done more for them
by making their fields more fertile and
the bowels of the earth richer? Not at
all 1t is because the west has paid
tribute to the east 1t is because Penn.
sylvania has demanded tribute for her
woolens. Because Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island have demanded trib-
ute for their calicoes, their sheetings,
their muslins and all their other manu-
facturerS 1t is because New York has
arrogated to herself, not only tribute
on her manufactured products, but the
control of the money of the country It
is immaterial how much the western

Balloon News from Kentucky Mountains.
Mr.. John Peters, of the Flat Rock pre-
cinct, relates that on Thursday evening he
and several of his neighbors wsre surprised
to see approaching over the horizon large,
dark looking object, which, as it got nearer,
proved to be mammoth balloon. Suspend
ed from it was long cylinder shaped car
or basket. The gentleman says he could
plainly distinguish two forms in the car,
one of whom was waving what he took to
be flag. When just over them they
dropped out a peculiar looking bottle,
which Mr.. Peters secured and brought to
town with it's contents.
Inside of the bottle was circular printed
in French, which M. De Favre, French
artist here, translated as follows:
On tho 11th day of May, 1891 the following
gentlemen embarked from Paris, France, In
