Says She Can Pursuade Her Husband II
With Him for Five Minutes.
PARIS, March 12-The Deacon case Is
still the uppermost theme of society's
gossip. 1t IL stated that Mrs. Deacon
vainly exerted herself to obtain private
interview with her husband before the
recent hearing. She boasted that il she
"could be alone with Edward five min
utes" she could make him do anything
abe desired. The people Of Cannes are
appalled, at the lady's calmness and in
difference.
She called at the American Legation,
and was informed by the major domo
that Mrs. Reid would not receive her;
but she seems to think that this is only
on account OF some official bubble Of
propriety in connection with her nation
atty. 1t transpires that N. Abeille paid
Mrs. Deacon's bill at the establishment
Of Doucet, Worth's~ rival, amounting to
80, 600 francs.

DIFFERENT LAUGHS.

How the Various Nationalities Express
Their Merriment.
All the world laughs, though the ma
tons have different ways of showing
mirth. The Chinese laugh is not as
or American. 1t is oftener litter than
a genuine burst of merriment. There
is little character or force in it.
AS for the Arabian laugh, we hear
little of its hilarious ring through the
ages of mirth in the old world. The
Arab is generally a stolid fellow, who
must see good reason for laugh or be
surprised into it. In Persia man who
laughs is considered effeminate, bu,
free license is given to female merri
ment.
One reads of the grave Turk" and
the ''sober Egyptian" but it is not re-
corded that they have never moments
of mirth, when the fez hobs or the vail
shakes under the pressure of some par
ticularly good thing" In Mohammed
himself Christian writers have noticed
cordially and jocoseness, and they say
there is a good ringing laugh in the
prophet with all his seriousness.
An American travelling in Europe re-
marks the Italian mirth as languid but
musical, the German as deliberate, the
French as spasmodic and uncertain, the
upper-class English as regarded and
not always genuine, the 1ower-class
English as explosive, the Scotch of all
classes as hearty, and the Irish as roll
licking.-TrOv Times.

AN IRISH CUP OF TEA.

| 1t Must BE Overlooking Into the Saucer.
Coming in tired from long walk, I
went to my room to lie down, and on
| my way left message for Mary: ''Tell
Mary to make me cup of tea-strong
and bring it up stairs
In the course of time there appeared
at my door Mary's round, smiling face,
| surrounded by its curly kinks of hair,
that, in turn, was surmounted by the
green and gold metal butterfly which
was it's daily adornment.
Its an Irish cup of tea I'm bringin'
you, ma am" she said.
IAN Irish cup of tea Mary! And
what is that?'
Its cup fowh' into the saucer,
ma'am.''
laughed as took the 'Irish cup of
tea" wait and take down the cup,
Mary" And Mary stood beamingly
beside me while drank the tea. $50
that's the kind of cup you get at home,
Mary, is 1.-THE tea running into the
saucer?"
''Oh yes, ma'am," she said. "When
We give cup of tea to a friend, ye're not
givin' plenty unless it's flowin' into the
saucer. We'd not be insultin' a friend
wild a cup that wasn't full. At home
it's name We are if ye don't fill the cup
runnin' over"
1t is the fashion to-day to prefer Ger.
man, Swede, or Danish servants to
Irish. The Irish have, indeed, many
faults, and those of us who daily bear
with some of the most obvious of them
are only too apt to be blind to the
actual virtues of these Irish peasant
girls. They have many virtue. The
Irish cup of tea is not bad exponent
of the national character as we see il
displayed in our kitchens Generous to
lavishment, careless to sloppiness.
quick-tempered, but kind-hearted, and
warm an Irish cup of tea is warm,
and just about as much to be depended
upon if something of a more substantial
nature does not go with it.
But an Irish cup of tea is good
greeting to one who is tired or cold,
and as we drain it, we find in the bot
tom of the cup the pretty bit of Irish
poetry:
"a cup fowin' over for a friend"

THE DEATH WATCH.
4 Small Beetle Caught in the Act of
Making My,tcrious Sounds.

Il small EPeJie Caught IN the Act OF
Making Mysterious sounds.
There is a more or less clearly de-
fined thread of superstition running
through rhe minds of most people, and
not n few who have at various times
been Involuntary listeners to the sound
of unfamiliar tickings, especially dur
ing the hours OF darkness, have been
unable to prevent their imagination
leading them back to the stories told
them in childhood of the dreaded omen
of the tick OF the death watch, which
precedes a death in the family. 1t is
now well known that the ticking is
produced by an insect. and Partisan
chemist has not Onl ' taken the trOu BILE
to investigate the subject thoroughly,
but has sent to d Paris paper two in
sects actually caught in the act of pro-
ducing the sounds aliuded to. They
were on the same sheet of packing pa
per (strong tarred p&per). bat on the
opposite sides and at a distance OF
about four inches apart. One struck
forcibly with its head at the rate of six
blows per second. and the insect on the
lower side answered as soon as the
other had finished. The insect is d tiny
beetle, barely quarter of an inch
long. 1t IS generally during the night
that it produces the ticking sounds, and
in order to do so draws in the antenuR
and intermediate legs. and. resting
principally upon the median legs,
strikes its head against its support by
a sort of rocking motion. 1t is through
this noise that the male calls the fe-
male. The larva of the insect lives in
woodwork framework, old furniture,
etc., which it gnaws in the interior
without anything outside betraying its
presence. A few weeks after it has
been transformed to the chrysalis state
the perfect insect comes forth, and
makes its exit from the wood by boring
a perfectly cylindrical hole in it, which
thereafter shows that the wood has
been attacked. and it is often mutt
lated to such degree that it is virtu-
ally destroyed. 4 smaller species of
the same genus works equal havoc not
only with wood. but with books, herb
aria, natural history collections, cork,
dry bread, crackers. etc. The death
watch beetle has the inyariabl habit
of feigning death when seized or dis
turbed. The stimulation is so persist
eut that when immersed in water, or
even in alcohol. the insect remains per-
fectly immovable, and VIII allow itself
to be burned alive rather than betray
itself.-St. Louis Republic.

The EireWOrk Industry.

In the United States there are eight
large factories for making fireworks,
besides about a dozen smaller ones. In
all these factories only about one thou
sand people are employed. One of the
most important is located at Parkville,
near Coney Island. There, in an iso-
lated neigh borhood, stand about thirty
wooden sheds of the fimsiest descrip-
ton. At some distance is low build
ing with heavy oaken door. This is
the powder magazine. The leases" for
rockets, Roman candles and other FIRE
works are made in what are called the
'wet-rolling sheds" This work is done
by half a dozen men, who do the roll
ing, assisted by as many boys. who do
the FASTING of the sheets of damp paper.
In the dry-rolling sheds, where the
work is light and not at all dangerous,
girls are employed The paper bombs
are made in still another shed. Shells
are filed by few men, who work at a
bench and pour the powder into small
opening by means of funnel. 1t is
absolutely necessary to have everything
spotlessly clean. The floors and benches
are busted every fifteen minutes, and
not the smallest speck of powder is to
be seen any place except in the tins
provided for explosives Opin-

The Tic,>lish business Done in Very
Ticklish Way.
Of old customs there is naturally
greater survival in Iviza than in Ma
iorca and Minorca. which have closer
intercourse with the continent. The
Ivicenes are in bad repute as law abid-
ing people. They prefer. like the Cor
sicans, to take the law into their own
hands. BlOodshed is comparatively
common among them, and when a
peasant has thus committed homicide
he seldom chooses to wait for the Judge
of assize to condemn him. He evades
the island and finds immunity in
Algiers or on the continent. The fair
sex are, of course, the chief cause OF
the more fatal QUAR- els on the island.
To tell the truth, the local methods
of wooing a girl seem well adapted to
provoke irritation. She receives her
suitors en- maSse. Sunday evenings are
the conventional visiting times The
damsel then takes mp her station in the
paternal porch and waits for the young
men who have conceived a fancy for
her. Each youth has the privilege OF
sitting by her alone for limited mum.

most of this opportunity, for the other
aspirants will not tolerate an exten-

Impotence
Nor can one wonder that now and
again, when the maiden is peculiarly
attractive. the youths find this formal
seance too much for their tempers.
Though unseemly, it is not surprising
that they should quarrel and fight with
each other. But whatever happens the
girl has stereotyped part to play. She
may interpose to prevent bloodshed in
her very presence. otherwise it is de-
corous in her to welcome each sutton
with the same measure of civility. Not
until she has had as thorough expert
ence of them as the Sunday entertain
ments afford her does she show the
preference she feels for one in particu
lar.-Cornhiu Magazine.

There is no government in the civilized

not to some extent under the domino
ton of popular opinion. The present
emperor of Germany is the most virile
monarch in Europe, but he dare not OPP
pose too grievously the will of his sub
jects- If there is any written instru-
1nent of government powerful beyond
all other laws, it is our own constitu-
ton, for it is the rule of action pre-
scribed by the people for the guidance
and control of their agents. But the
history of the federal power shows that
there is a power above the constitu-
ton, and that is the power of popular
opinion. There have often been times
when the constitution has not stood
in the way of the peoples will Even
the supreme court will change its mind
If the people are persistent 1t has not
been always necessary for popular
opinion to demand the breaking or
fiexion of the constitution, it is only
necessary that it should approve what
has been done. The purchases OF
Louisiana and Alaska, and the many
instances of executive and legislative
acts during the war OF the rebellion
that were clearly beyond the constitu-
tional grants of power. are cases In
