Marking Their Lovers.

While visiting in Norway village,
traveller, who we will call Mr.. L.,
took lessons in Morse from a lady.
One evening there CHANGED to be
present a certain Norwegian gentle
man. When the lady rose to go to
her lodging in an adjoining house,
Mr.. l.. offered to escort her; but she
declined the offer abruptly.
Rather surprised at her manner,
Mr.. l.. asked the Norwegian if the
young lady was engaged or married,
the ring she wore?
n am ignorant, lie continued, "of
the difference of your rings between
married, going to be married, and
never going to be married"
"Oh, you will never tell that" said
the Norwegian, laughing loudly. ave
cannot mark the women in this coun-
try as you do, but they mark the
men. Amongst us it is the man that
wears the ring"
"Oh / see. That is a new light"
said the traveller, taking the mans
left hand, on the fourth finger of
which was plain gold ring. That
Is your wedding ring, them"
mai, nail" he replied blushing.
"That means / have got to be mar
ried!"
And then what becomes Of it?"
ave put it on the right hand in
stead Of the left" replied the Nor
wegian, holding out his hand to say
goodnight.
Then as he was closing the door
behind him, he said, in confidential
tones:
"Yes; that young lady who was
talking to you is going to marry me
next month";

"Of course 1 ignored this tricky
scheme, though as a device for bleed

four different canvassers. My buSi-

was exhausted. Late on the sixth
day of this plague, when was in no
mood for triting, the door Of my out

red whiskers and spectacles, came

There's an elevator in the hall. You

MRS. CLEVELAND.
She who Is Again to he the First Lady at
the Land.

the Land.
The result OF the election has
again brought Mrs. Cleveland promi-
nently before the people. During
the two years she was mistress OF the
White House she presented to the
American people model OF the true
American woman. Frances Folsom's
father was law partner Of Grover
Cleveland, and the future President
was her friend and patron before ne
became her lover and husband. While
she was student at Wells College,
Aurora, N. Y, Mr.. Cleveland was
Governor OF the State, and every
week great hampers of roses and
other choice flowers arrived at the lit
tie lakeside village from Albany.
During her junior year he became
President, but the flowers continued
to arrive, and when she was gradu-
ated, in June, 1885, and a houseful
OF eXOtics and roses came to her, it
was generally known that she had
surrendered her heart. The class ivy
OF 1885, which still coils around and
creeps up the walls Of Morgan Hall,
was sent by the President to his afli-
anced bride, and she and her class
mates planted it during Il gentle June
shower. The marriage, which took
place in 1886, is well remembered,
and when little Ruth came to the
happy couple the whole country was
pleased. The child, by the way, was

COrOt and Daubirny.

We readily associate the names Of
Corot and Daubigny, and With rea-
son. Notwithstanding the twenty
years seniority Of the former artist,
they were very intimate friends,
sharing many similar aspirations in
art, while each still preserved his
distinct individuality. Corot was
more subjective, tingeing his works
with his own peculiar poetic fancy.
Daubigny, on the other hand, gave
himself up more to the impression Ct
the moment, endcavoring to express
the local qualities of form and color
in all their brillancy and freshness.
He did not reach perfection Of style
at the beginning Of his career hut
through most devoted study, guided
by the native strength and originality
OF his views; nor did this high epoch
OF landscape-art come hastily or &C
cidentally, but was made possible by
the united efforts OF many men and
minds working together during the
first half of our century. Century.

The Food of Different PEOPLES.

Many nations, many dishes! Some
articles that are esteemed as delica-
cies by certain nations are regarded
with disgust by others. According
to the Pacific Record the Turk is
seized with violent trembling at the
very idea Of eating oysters. The
American Indians look upon an inva-
sion of grasshoppcrs as mark of es.
pecial favor from the Great Spirit,
and make the be Of such time to
lay up store Of provisions for the
future. auckland states that among
certain people mixture Of fish,
nearly putrefled, and soap suds is
preferred to the best butter. In
Canton and other Chinese cities rats
are sold at ten cents a dozen, and a
hind quarter Of dog is moro expen-
Sive than mutton or beef. Some OF
the East Indians eat serpents dried
in the oven, but despise the flesh Of
rabbits. Lizard eggs are delicacy
in the islands of the Pacific, and
many people besides the aborigines Of
the Argentine Republic esteem the
flesh Of the skunk. Ants are eaten
by many peoples, and in Siam curry
Of ants eggs often tickles the palates
Of the wealthy. The slkworm is
eaten with relish by the Chinese, and
dessert OF roast snails is considered
a fitting termination Of feast in
New Caledonia.

A simple Regimen In Obesity.

The Journal de la Sante attributes
to medical officer of the French
army the latest "cure" for obesity,
which is strangely simple in its carry
ing out. The form of diet was sim
ply restriction to one dish at each
meal, irrespective Of what that dish
might be, and, no matter whether
the quantity consumed was greater or
smaller, it was made to satisfy the
desire of food to the full at each
meal. No supplementary dishes, such
as soups, desserts or condiments, were
allowed; one single dish, and that
taken plain, was found to satisfy the
appetite much sooner than variety
of dishes, even if the quantity was
apparently smaller and on almost as
abstemous scale. This regimen
was employed also in the case Of Il
lady whose cmbonpoint threatened
too rapid increase, with good results
and without any discomfort in the
observance Of the restrictions. In
fact, in one or two instances, the re-
duction of cOrpulence has seemed to
go on rather too rapidly and it has
been deemed best to take means for
restoration, In measure, of that
which has been lost. Under this Sys-
TEN, as under most others, the excess
sive inhibition Of liquids has to be
forbidden, care being taken not to
enforce the abstinence from water,
especially, to the point where symp-
toms OF circulatOry depression arise
from insufficiency Of volume Of blood
in the vessels. New York Medical

all, certainly nineteen-twentieths OF
the sum total, enter life with a
surplusage Of self-conceit. The soon
er they are relieved Of it the better.
If, in measuring themselves with
wiser and older men than themselves,
they discover that it is unwarranted,
and get rid OF it gracefully, Of their
own accord, well and good; If not, it
is desirable for their own sakes, that
it be knocked out Of them. A boy
who Is sent to a large school soon
finds his level.
The world is great public school,
and 1t soon teaches a new pupil his
proper place, says the New York
Ledger. IL he has the attributes
that belong to a leader, he will be in
stalled in the position Of leader; if
not, whatever his own opinion of his
abilities may be, he will be compelled
to fall In with the rank and file. If
not destined to greatness, the next
best thing to which he can aspire is
respectability, but no man can either
be truly great or truly respectable

BY the time the novice has found
his legitimate social status, be the
same high or low, the probability is
that the disagreeable traits of his
character will be softened down or
worn away. Most likely the process
Of abrasion will be rough, perhaps
very rough, but when it is all over,
and he begins to see himself as others
see him, and not as reflected in the
mirror Of self-conceit, he will be
thankful that he has run the gaunt-
let and arrived, though by rough
road, at self-knowledge. Upon the
whole, whatever loving mothers may
think to the contrary it is good
thing for youths to be knocked about
in the world; it makes men of them.

Bcnvenuto is going to make a piece
Of glass-a flower vase supported on a
sea-dragon. He has no pattern, no
gauge, and his only tools are some
pincers and scissors. He takes a long
blowpipe Of iron, dips it into one OF
the pots, and withdraws it with a
quantity Of glowing glass banging to
the end like honey on a stick. Twist

wards on the arms OF his seat, he be-
gins to fashion the bottom Of the

In the center stands the furnace,
which consumes daily some three
tons of good British oak. The furnace
is divided into different pots" each
containing molten glass Of some spec

about 1910 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the composition OF the
glass DR.. Salviati declares that he
himself does not know. 1t is jeal-
ously guarded trade secret. The
visitor may notice taciturn old man
who moves quietly about among the
workmen and disappears now and
again into dark room at the back,
where the mysterious materials are
kept. Sometimes he is to be seen
sitting outside, staring gloomily into
the shallow lead-lined canals made in
imitation of those OF his own Venice

at him almost with reverence, "look
at that old man; he alone knows the
secret" 1t may be so; but that
granitic sand from the Murano
lagoon is the basis or the mixture Is
we'll known. To this is added inter,
soda, lime, oxide of lead, arsenic and
many other secret things TO give the
exquisite tinges OF amber, sea green
and pink, which are one OF the chief
beauties Of the Salviati glass.
