mnburnt, his little nose upturned, and
his face clean shaven. AS to his dress

he same. The body fits close, but the
lest of the robe is so ample that a page
s required to bear the train. When he

Marbles.

The New York Telegram reports thai
''nearly all the common marbles which
drag down the pockets of our boys are
made in Oberstein, Germany. They are
made from the refuse of the agate anC
stone quarries in that neighborhood
The stone is broken into small cnbes
by blows of light hammer. These
small blocks of stone are thrown by the
shovel into the chopper" of small
mill formed of bed of stone, having
its surface grooved with concentrated
burrows; above these Is the runner
which is made of hard wood having o
level face on its lower surface. The
upper block is made to revolve rapidly,
water being delivered upon the grooves
of the bed tone where the marbles are
being rounded. 1t takes about fifteen
minutes to finish n bushel of good
marbles ready for swapping One
mill will turn out 40, 200 marbles pei
week. The very hardest Crackers, rs
the boys call them are made by a slower
process, somewhat analogous, however,
to the other"

every person of high rank is announced
in loud voice by the usher. When c
great mans name is called ont he sa-
lutes the prince, who returns the com.
pliment and bids him be seated. The
morning audience drags on generally
until three p. M, when the prince re.
tires to enjoy his well-earned sleep OF
siesta.
At half-past five this well-worked
chieftain places himself in a balcony,
whence he can see his troops at their
exercise; and in an hour after the
palace is brilliantly lighted up with
tapers, whose flames are shielded by
glass shades, When great men visit
the prince at night they are perfumed,
and enter without arms of any kind.
The floors are carpeted with white mus
lin, spread on Persian rugs of the richest
hues. The prince loves white and has
white muslin everywhere. Then comes
a merry comedy, acted by beautifuland
highly trained women. 1t lasts from
about eight to eleven, during which time
young mobiles move about, answering
any questions that may be put to them,
and offering refreshments or playing
games with them. Meanwhile the
prince chats with ministers or ambas-
sadors, always busy, and minding the
main thing. Then flowers are brought
in, and he hands some to the lords
about him, and the basket is then of
fered to every one, who makes an
obeisance as he picks blossom. When
the prince wishes to honor any one
specially, he makes a collar of jessa-
mine, knotting the flowers together
with silk, and then he filings it round
the neck of the happy man, who ii
visited and complimented the next day
by all the greatest in the land.

ugly, for no woman is ugly who

themselves really attractive by wise
care of the hair and complexion, and
by a neat taste in dress. Then again,
cleanliness is health, and health is
beauty in nine cases out of ten; and in
the tenth ease, it is preventive of ugli-
ness. a woman who is young and

of pearl to darkest cloudy gray. The
effect is heightened by having the bou-

One reason given by n fashion Jour-
nal for the great number and variety
of toques worn this season is that they
are a sort of compromise between a
bonnet and a hat. Another reason,
far more potent, is that they are pre-
eminently becoming TO nearly every
face. Elegant jet capotes in wholly
new devices in lace tulle and straw for
ordinary wear are equally popular,
though fashion still favors headgear
which matches the gown or wrap in
color. Those who do not confine them
selves to one particular color find a
bonnet or hat that can be suitably worn
with any shade both convenient and
economical. All the flower bonncts
are lovely. The flowers used are a..
most invariably small and are not too
pronounced in shade.
