took his seat at the table said: "Vel-

board), a very pretty way of expressing
hospitality.
The table was charmingly arranged
with quaint old Norwegian silver and
beautifully fine em broidered linen. The
silver drinking-cups of various shapes
had usually little round, tinkling things
hanging from them as an Ornamental
ton; these bangles gave a light and
pretty effect, and are quite old Nor
wegian style. Some of the spoons, with
their quantity twisted handles, were
also very pretty.
The menu was excellent, and in our
honor had been composed of purely
representative foods. First of all we
had delicious white soup made from
cod, in which floated small balls of the
fish, along with French beans that had
previously been prepared by being
soaked in vinegar and sugar. This soup
sounds curious melange, but it was
really excellent. Next came prepared
fish, served in soutfle dish, something
like kegeree, only without any rice. A
white sauce was handed with this

we had compete of rasberries, red cur

served cold with cream. They have a
slight flavor of pine trees, if such a
thing is possible, but they are fascinat-
ing food.
Two or three kinds of bread were
eaten-white rolls. black bread, which
closely resembles German 'pumpker-
Nickel" and fad brod,'' bread or
cake made from rye, and first cousin to
Scotch oatcake. Hook and claret were
drank during the dinner and sweet
champagne served with the pudding
and dessert. After dessert we had
cheese and the meal ended.-Murray's

A FLOURY CLOUD.
A Five-Year-Old's Distressing Adventure

A our-besprinkled battalion of small
boys moved along the Western boule-
ward, near Ninety-second street, yester-
day afternoon. Every face was study;
sadness, anxiety and flour contributed
to the expressions. They moved slow
~ because in advance Of them was a
forerunner. He was diminutive speci-
men of humanity, and he was spotless-
~ white from his little hat crown to
the toes of his sturdy shoes. The tears
were flowing over his cheeks, and from
his lips poured a volume of sound.
The unfortunate 5-year-old had been
sent to the corner grocery for -four and
had dropped the parcel. He had tried
over him. His vociferous demonstra-
tons of grief brought flock of diminu-
tive friends. They appreciated the
gravity of the situation.
They scooped up as much as their
grimy little hands would hold The
5-year-old looked on for minute hope
fully. Flour never looked so white to
him before and he had no idea there
was so much -four in the world. The
four pounds spread about good bit.
There were six friends, and they
couldn't begin to lift it all with their
twelve small, black paws The baby
brain grasped the truth. The 5-year-old
renewed his walls and directed his
erring and four-tipped toes toward
home.
AS he announced his distress he drew
interested spectators all along the line.
But the 5-year-old was philosophic. 1t
was not alone or chiefly the loss of the
flour that troubled him; it was his own
undignifed situation.
'sMamma-dear," he walled, s'please
-take--some-lseros oil-and rub
my clothes hard then-take some
water - some cold ~ water, Mamma
dear, they'll be--all right.
Just-rub 'em hard land please-to-
excuse me;-l'm SO sorry Sob-sob-
sob.
Then the body guard arrived. Each
pair of hands deposited its share of
the scattered four-like trophies at the
mothers feet. They had done what
they could, and every four-smeared
face was turned to hers for the verdict.
Then everybody laughed. Every body
brushed every body else, and in spite OF
the heat it was q pleasant day.-N. Y.

THE BELL SCHEME.
1t May Turn Out . Formidable Rival Of the
Western Union.


From the quiet movements now in
progress there is sound reason for the
belief that by the time the first of the
Bell Telephone patents expires. in
1898. the company will have so en-
tended its long distance system as to
make it u formidable competitor for
the telegraph business now done by
tho Western Union Company. Already
is the Bell Company making prepa-
rations to abandon the present style OF
business and 10 substitute instead long
distance instruments.
In 1896 the contract between the
Western Union Company and the Bell
Telephone people expires. BY the
terms OF their contract the telephone
people have hitherto monopolized tele-
phoning and the telegraph people the
sending OF Geographic dispatches. But
when 1896 has come it will be found
that the telephone people will have al
most as many miles OF wire as the
Western Union now possesses. and
that these wires will cover the entire
country. and will connect the principal
cities with one another.
With such a plant, in many respects
superior to the Western Union. it is
easy to understand how it might
secure a large share OF the business
controlled by the latter.

temptiblo OF all the wrongs that are

little folk know well enough that they
are being imposed upon, but they do
not know now to protest; and yet now
and then one of them, with the bold
frankness of childhood, does say out
boldly just what it thinks.
