New York has become city oil
extravaganza in dinner-giving, and
many Of these entertainments, with
all the delicacies of the season and
rare wines, cost from $40 to 500 per
cover. OF course the latter is the
outside figure, but reckoning that one
gives dinner once week to party
of say 15, at the first named figure
it will prove a snug little sum at the
end of the year. writes Foster Coates
in the Ladies Home Journal. In
order TO render these dinners complete
and perfect the hostess must possess
a dinner service more or less elabor-
ate, and 1t is rarely, If ever, that the
majority OF the outsiders stop to con-
slider what these consist OF, and how
much money is spent in this direction.
In the old Roman days no greater
magnifcence could have existed in
| the way Of table decoration, wines and
service than millionaire New Yorker
displays when his wife gives large
dinner.

held in the Italian colony in Glasgow.
Scotland, the other night was broken
up by a murder committed in the

the feast was progressing an Italian
named Lorenzo Marc Antonio made
his appearance in the room. He had
received no invitation to attend the
feast and he was elected.
~ In a short time he returned, and
the bridegroom and o number OF the
guests attempted to again drive him
out of the room. Antonio resisted,
and during the scuffie that ensued he
drew knife and plunged it into the
breast of the bridegroom. who fell to
the floor corpse. When the bride

her she uttered wild shrek and fell

Some Reasons Why He 1, Attractive to

the American Girl
One reason why American girls
wish TO marry abroad is that foreign
ers have, as rule. a certain enamel
of manner which is very attractive to
women. The hand kissing, the fat
terry, the deferential manner. all these
ARE the most agreeable beginnings of
IAN acquaintance II isto an idle girl
"a great pleasure to fiud man who
has all his day to devote to her.
The European man has made a
study of how to amuse himself all day
long and no doubt he has picked up
education and all that is very agree
able along with this effort to get rid
of time
The American man has had no
such difficulty in disposing of the
golden hours; he has worked hard to
make his living; he has had terrific
struggle for it and his love-making
has been a thing apart an interlude
in the busy life. He has had no time
to enamel himself with foreign man.
ners and to an idle and selfish girl
he is far less agreeable than man
who can take her to picture galleries.
to races, TO the Bois, to dine, who
knows all about dressmakers, their
prices, their degree of style and their
costumes.
A European man is gazette,
newspaper among other things, and
he is full of delightful anecdote. He
knows all the gossip about the Prince.
OF Wales, about Lady Agatha and the
Duchess of Nowhere; he Is selfish in
everything else, but he is not selfish
in this. He does try to make himself
amusing and agreeable. and, to do
him justice, he generally succeeds. II
he goes to theater or opera with a
party OF ladies he knows the history
and it is apt to be piquant one-oi
every prima donna, every tenor,
every basso. He remembers what
happened at Nice two winters ago.
and he has an amusing story about
the grand duchess of Pumpernickel.
We all know that there is no more
fascinating reading for the idle and
cultivated than stories in which titles
abound, And perhaps when treated
with the genius of "Ouida" they are
very good reading for anybody who
has nothing else to do.

a baby Half Swallowed by IA Snake.
George Wharton, OF Brown county
Ohio, tells a blood-curdling snake
story. Mrs. William Huxelly. living
in log-cabin, was making soap in
the back yard, having kissed her
sweet little six-months babe to sleep in
the cradle. Presently the baby
screamed, and she rushed III and was
horror-stricken to find hideous
blacksnake of enormous size trying to
swallow the child, having engulfed
the hand, had swallowed it up to the
arm pits and was writhing in it's con-
tortions and efforts to make further
progress. Grasped in the middle by
the mother it seemed to relax its hold
and disgorge the child's arm, then
turned upon the woman. She dashed
it to the floor and in her wild frenzy
stamped it to death. 1t proved to be
of the black-racer Species feet
inches long and measuring II inches
in circumference. The babe lived
and the only inconvenience it suffered
from its terrible experience was thai
its arm and hand were blistered as il
scalded in h-.t water.

Deep Sea SpOnges.

'Some of the most beautiful things
that live in the ocean are the sponges
of the great depth, which have often
very curious and interesting FORMS
said naturalist to a reporter. mot
the least remarkable are the so-called
'sea-nests, which are in the form OF
spheres or sometimes egg shaped.
1.-THE outer coat Of one of these speci-
mems is q complicated net work, over
which a delicate membrane is spread.
An ornamental frill adorns the upper
part while the lower portion throws
out a maze of glossy filaments like fine
white hairs.
''These hairs penetrate the semi
fluid mud in every direction, thus hold
ing the sponge in it's place, while con-
tinuous current OF water is drawn by
waving ella through all parts of the
mass, passing out by hole at the top
In this manner the animal absorbs
whatever food may be afioat.
Another singular sponge is the
'glass rope, which sends down into the
mud coiled wisp of filaments as thick
as knitting needle. The latter opens
out into brush, fixing the creature in
place, after the manner Of a screw pile.
still another remarkable sponge is
found in the deep water off the Loffoden
Islands. 1t spreads out into thin cir
cular cake, surrounded by what looks
like fringe OF white floss silk.
"Yet another curiosity is the 'eupec-
tella' sponge of the Philippines. which
lives embedded to its lid in the mud,
and supported by lovely frill."

The Land of Git-Thare.

There are purple grapes in the land of Git Thare,
Whose clusters hang higher and higher,
In each rounded breast is the vintage OF rest,
That tones the lax nerves with an Infinite ZeSt,
And thrills the new brain with new fire;
Thro' musical fushes the streams flow along,
And the valleys resound with the daughters OF
song,
And fialmt with their floating attire;
There is shade, cool fountains and music to spare
In the mountainhemmed wales OF the Land OF
Git-Thare.
All the branches bend down with pomegranites
OF peace,
That ooze with the juice of delight;
Through the odorous pass of the spangled grass,
From the Lily Pad lake, that is clearer than glass
Dream zephyrs float down from the height;
They are he Ivy with perfumes and odorous
smells.
That rise from the grots of the daffodil dells
Where the monday is mixed with the night
There is perfume and song and sweet music to
spare
In the verd urous Wales of the Land Of Git-Thare.
But you climb the tall mountains of Precipice
Ere You come to the Land of Git-Thare;
And you cross the white land of Poisonous Sand
Till you reach the black shore OF Sh1pwrecK
Strand,
BY the blood Red Sea of Despair;
And you sail this sea like lonesome morass,
Till you come to the pass of the spangled grass,
And a strcngarmed angel is there,
And glimmering sword in his hand CLEANS
bare
To drive back all who seek for the Land OF Git
There
