Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1891-01-02

-Argand, a poor Swiss, invented a
lamp with wick fitted into a hollow
cylinder, up which current of air was
permitted to pass, thus giving supply
Of oxygen to the interior as we'll as the
exterior of the wick. Al first he used it
without glass chimney, but one night
while sitting by 1t, his little brother
was amusing himself by placing a bot
tomless oil flask on different articles.
Suddenly he placed it on the fame OF
the lamp, which instantly shot up the
long circular neck with increased brill
liancy, and at the same time flashed in.
to Argand's mind the idea of the circu.
lar chimney, by which his haven't ton wa,

POOR CARLOTTA PATTI.
The Niece and Ex-Adopted Daughter c
the Diva Adelina.


One of the most pathetic little figures
to be seen on Canal street Of bright
matinee day in New Orleans is that of
Carlotta Patti, the niece and ex-adopted
daughter of the great diva Adelina.
Two years ago, when Nine. Patti
Nicolini went South, and, stopping over
for couple of concerts in New Orleans,
looked up her dead brother Carlos
daughter, the press far and near chron-
icled the aunt's generosity in rescuing
her young relative from the deep pow
erty into which she had fallen. Nine.
Patti used not one, but half dozen
languages, to express her exceeding Joy
in finding such charming and gifted
girl to bear away to her Welsh castle.
Carlotta was loaded with Jewels, rich
costumes, compliments, and favors of
every description. From tumble.down
tenement to an obscure side street,
whore bitter poverty guarded the door,
she passed straightway into an atmos-
phere of supreme luxury. Masters were
to be engaged to fit her for the high sta
| ton awaiting her, for as Nine. PATHS
| heiress she would naturally consort with
the rich and noble ones of the earth
Six months and then year elapsed, and
Carlotta's old friends spoke of her as one
translated, caught up in rosy chariot
to dwell in fairy land for evermore.
No one, therefore, credited it, when
the report was circulated one fine day
that Carlotta had been seen peering
out Of the batten-shuttered window of
the shabby old house in Toulouse street.
| Nevertheless it was true, and by slow
degrees the story of her return leaked
out. The unhappy little girl herself
was loath to acknowledge the sad truth.
She stoutly maintained that it was only
visit to her mother; that in few
months she would rejoin "Tant, Ade-
lima" and in the meantime tried to
strengthen her position by displaying
the gems and trinkets showered upon
her in the halcyon days of her poverty
to the capricious aunt.
Days, weeks and months went by with
out sign from the song queen across
the water. All the fine Partisan frocks
grew old-fashioned and tarnished, the
| jewels disappeared, French-heeled shoes
were broken, and still "Tant, Adelina"
tarried. She has never again gone SO
far toward the gulf in her tours, but
every sunshiny day, when the theater
folks crowd Canal street, a heavy-eyed
girl drifts back and forth whose faded
finery and unhappy face never fails to
attract pitying attention.-Co N. Y.

Tea with LILIES.

The charming literary wife Of q cell
ebrated New York artist lately intro
duced the prettiest sort Of q new
wrinkle in the serving Of her afternoon
tea When first she handed round the
steaming cups, each with white,
fower-like fragment floating on top,
her guests were greatly interested over
the innovation. Then she explained,
and, while adding slice Of lemon and
cube of sugar to the fragrant beverage,
coached the women present as to how
they might go and do likewise. It ap-
pears she bought crisp, coarse tarlstan,
cut 1t up in squares Of five by six inches.
pinlsed the edges in sharp, deep seal
lops, and then, putting a spoonful Of
Russian caravan tea In the center,
tied the leaves In tiny sack by means
of bit of heavy thread. By rufaing out
the loose portions she obtained bios
sonny look for her new-fashioned tea
balls, and not only added immensely to
the daintiness Of her table and cups,
but made it possible for each guest to
suit his or her particular taste. Some
choose to let the tea-lily remain until
strength Is attained, while those liking
the weaker drink soon remove the tarla-
tan bag.

On the Altar Of Vanity.

A malicious maid who had to leave
the service Of Princess Frederick
Charles of Prussia against her will has
been telling in the most plausible way
the means which her royal highness
adopts to maintain slim waist despite
her advancing years According to this
authority the process is as follows:
When her royal highness has almost
finished her toilet the service of two
sturdy maids with remarkably long
hands are requisitioned. These SER
vitors press the sides and front Of the
corset while the mistress of the robes
pulls the laces with all her might, and
are not allowed torelax their efforts ua-
til the'princess by little gasp indicates
that the pressure has become almost
unbearable.

ferred says in his report: ''The oranges

Fishing In Ceylon.

Negombo lake, Ceylon, is about four
miles in width, and all around us were
picturesque canoes, whose owners were
diligently fishing in its quiet waters.
They have a curious method of fright

some Of the men, while others wave
long fringes Of torn plantain leaves or
cocoa-palm, similar to those which arc
hung up us decorations ut any festival.
The fish thus alarmed are expected to
jump netwards. AT night the fishers
