A young woman who is studying art
in Paris, says the n. I. Commercial

Il was most pleasantly surprised
few evenings since by receiving pref

Riyes) inviting me to dine with her
that very evening. saying that on ac-
count of illness she had been unable to
call and desired greatly to meet me be-
fore leaving tor Nice.
Il thought best not to accept the in
vitation to dinner. as we had never
met. aud knowing that she had been

all natural waves and curls; great.
soulful luminous gray eyes. aud teeth
that are exquisite. She is a real lily

lovely to compare her with. | never

She wore white tea-gown, partly
open in front exposing mass OF soft.
white. beaded lace. a gold girdle about
her waist. tiny red silk turban on her
beautiful head. and red hose and Slip

She was charming. cordial, and greeted

Mr. Cbanler is in America. working
for an art fund he is greatly interested
in.
The dinner ut 8 O'Clock was arts
tically served. Menu cards mounted on
silver. colored candles in silver sticks
with dainty abatjoins. great clusters of
white lilacs decorated the table and
were scattered in we!l-judged profusion
about the room.
Her dinner costume was a SOFT
clinging gown OF Il light blue shade,
with a heavy blue rope girdle and a
plated cape made of the same material
rs her gown. carelessly thrown about
her shoulders. She is brilliant con-
versationalist and we all grew bright
in her presence, so the dinner was a
rare enjoyment TO me. After it was
over and the other guests had departed
l attempted to leave also but she would
not allow me to. She was tired. for she
is not strong. so we went into her

Pion-Plon's death recalls his invita-
ton of Rachel. the actress. to supper
ut which one of her fellow-guests WAS
Khalii-Bey. She was deeply alfrontcd
at the openly expressed distaste of the
Oriental for her personal appearances.
Rachel, as used to be said of Sarah
Bernhardt in the early days of her ca
recr. possessed much grace, but no
grease and the angular elbows and
bony chest of the Queen of the Partisan
stage were not Ali to tue boys taste.
What do YOU think of her?" asked his
host OF him toward the end of the even
ing. Dear Prince, in my country we
drown such women as thatm was the
reply. Rachel overheard him and nat
urally she never forgave him.
Dr. Peabody of Harvard who has
just entered the ranks of the octogen-
arians, is Il little absent minded at

into Boston from Cambridge. and hav-
ing alighted from the car at Bowdon
Square, he turned short corner and
collided with an elderly gentleman
who was standing with his hat off WHIP
ing the perspiration from his forehead,
but who held his hat is such way as
to give the appearance of begging. DIR.
Peabody seeing the hat dropped a
quarter into it with his customary kind
remark. DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
who was holding the hat, put the mon
ev in his pocket so!emnly thanked his
old friend. the giver, and passed on.

A TwirlinS Stone.

There has been discovered about
half mile west of the Bargytown
ledges n twirling stone of about five
tons weight 1t has always been re-
garded as a bowider, and from the
way it is poised on the rock beneath it
no one could see why it should not
rock. Hundreds have tried TO rock it
in vain, and the surprise of the man
who first felt it move under pressure
may better be imagined than described
1t moves hard, of course. but it moves
the finder informs us, round rs if it was
placed upon pivot. 1t has been care
fully examined. and while it looks like
a bowlder, several allege that it must
be ceremonial stone set there by some
prehistoric race. This rock is creating
great interest among the bowlder hSu-
tiers of eastern Connecticut.-Nor

How Great SteeIyards Suit Ended.

Two Penobscot county farmers had
bought an old-fashioncd pair of steel
yards, each paying part of the cost,
and both used them for weighing their
produce for market. After time
dispute arose, and both claimed to
own them. The matter was carried
into court. A trial WAS held before
jury, and the jury disagreed. Then
the case, on some technicality, was
sent to the law court. and was again
sent back for trial. The costs up to
this point had reached about $500.
about hundred times the original
cost of the steelyards. When it came
up again Judge Peters was the presid-
ing Justice He told the counsel that
if continued, the costs would be in
creased to such an extent that one or
the other of the parties would lose his
farm in order to pay, and advised them
to enter it neither party" and divide
the cost us it was. After n consulta-
ton the parties said they were willing
to do that. and il looked as though the
case would be settled.
All at once one of the contestants
went to his counsel in the court room
and asked: But who is going to get
the steelyards? I'll be - if he shall
have them" The other contestant
made the same declaration. Then the
counsel rose and said the case was just
where it was before any talk of settle
ment had been made. They were
willing to stop litigation and divide
the cost, but what could be done with
the steelyards?" IN fix that" said
Judge Peters. Let the Sheriff of the
county take the steelyardsat night and
go down and throw them into the mid
die of the river letting nobody know
the exact spot so they never can be re-
covered by any one" The contestants
agreed TO that proposition, each paid
his proportionate part of the cost, aud
the case was dropped. -Lcwiston Jour-

The novel Of to-day, compared with
its predecessor of even Il decade shows
what great changes have taken place in
thought and practice. Greater changes
still are indicated. the tendency of
which is to develop in woman hitherto
unknown or unused powers of mind;
but Judging from representative tic
ton. these new endowments do not
increase her happiness. The modern
heroine may be compared TO Joan of

listens to strange and sometimes heay-
enly voices. aud is more successful as

commonplace ayocation of wife.

are not afraid of wasted affection
realizing that no one can attain any
thing greater than love? We wonder,
too. how much literature of certain
class is responsible for the very evils it
now, in some instances, lashes so Wig
orously? Charles Lamb SAYS that ''the
next thing to making child an in
idel is letting him know that there are
intidcls ut all"
Is not much domestic unhappiuess
the result of suggestion on the part of
some writers of fiction? The passion
ate love story; the Il itication of sud
den romantic attachment: the advo-
eating of unequal. improyident mar
rlageS; the bringing forward OF the
hysterical selfish woman rs an attrac-
tive type of character; and the in
sldious justification of the wrongdoer
be it husband or wife-may not these
have formed part of the first cause

threatens the home?

Impaired Eyesight.

Tao number of persons in town who
wear eyeglasses is astonishing; the
Number of children wearing them is
appalling. A large proportion of the
pupils in the higher classes of the
public schools are obliged to wear
glasses. particularly in the girls
schools. Pickering gaslight, long hours
of reading and study, and badly-lighted

eye weakness with the young people,
but The amazing spread of the reading
habit is ut the bottom of the general
trouble. As an oculist expresses it:

The masses that they have not learned
