GOOD FORM TO BE SOLEMN.
80 tho Englishm2n Is Only 'Appy Away
from 'Orae.

from 'Orae.
What an utterly different being an
Englishman is when lounging on the
terrace of hotel at Cadenabbia or on
the deck of a yacht on the tideless sea,
from the same individual on the terrace
of the house or sauntering in the park
on fine morning! He not only looks
unlike himself, but is ever SO much bet
ter looking, says London Truth. His
garments are more picturesque. but it
is not only that. His features relax
into an expression of unconscious sat-
isfaction with things in general which
almost approaches to amiability.
OF course, a true gentleman would
naturally regard himself with contempt
if he ever permitted himself to look
really amiable or pleased. Except in
a tete-a-tete with pretty woman or
while enjoying good game of ronps
with children, such thing would be
thoroughly bad form. 1t is one of
'Arry's social mistakes that he grins
when he is pleased and wears chronic
smile if he happen to be a good-tem-
pered man. The men of cur class and
upward refrain from any such insane
exhibition, especially when at home,
dams leur lie.
1t has often amused us to watch an
English boy while at the adolescent
period of life mastering this accom-
plishment. He perceives that his male
elders have cultivated what Carlyle
called cheerful stoicism. They listen
to the funniest story without a smile,
unless the narrator is person whom
they rejoice to honor or like to please.
They make their gre etings without re-
laxing an iota Of the gravity which
serves them as . mask. The boy, in
initiating them, suffers many an in
ward spasm in endeavoring to render
his emotions outwardly invisible. He
catches himself smiling at something
ludicrous, but Immediately conquers
himself as he sees that his elders are
grave of demeanor. II he should so
far forget himself as to exhibit any
pleasure or animation in circumstances
where it would be only natural to do
so, but in which the seniors set an ex-
ample of undemonstrative calm, he
whips himself inwardly with lash of
self-scorn.
During his transition period he de-
spises women and girls, because they
laugh when they are amused and some
times cry when they are distressed.
He would rather hurt the feelings of
his mother or sisters than make the
slightest display of gratitude or kindli-
ness. In fact, he is disagreeable, and
a very uncomfortable individual for the
time being. Often when he frowns it is
only that he has no other way of pre-
venting himself from smiling.

given many different meanings by the
moderation of the voice. Thus the
syllable ''ba" pronounced with grave
accent, means lady, an ancestor. Pro-
nounced with q sharp accent it means
the favorite of the prince. Pronounced
with a senigrave accent it means what
has been thrown away. Pronounced
with the grave circumfiex it means
what is left OF fruit after the juice has
been squeezed ont Pronounced with
no accent it means three. Pronounced
with the ascending or interrogative
accent it means box on the ear. Thus

SOME WONDERFUL INKS.
Curious Facts Concerning Those Known
and Used by Frenchmen.

and Used by Frenchmen.
Rabelais complied curious list of
inks of a sympathetic nature, which
were largely in vogue in his days. In
his book, entitled ''Pantagruel," he
makes his readers acquainted with
Panurgue's exploits in trying to de-
cipher the invisible characters of a
letter in which a Partisan female had
written to Pantagruel. "He held it up
before the fire." says Rabelais, ''to see
if it was written with spirits of am
monia mixed with water. Then he
placed it in water to see if the writing
had not been done with sirup of tithy-
NAL. When this would not work he
held it over a candle, which would
have brought the characters ont had
they been written with the juice of
white onions. By rubbing part of it
with nut oil he tried to find whether it
had not been written with the sap of a
fig tree. And if frogs blood had been
used in the place of ink the milk from
the breast of woman sucking her
frst-born daughter would have be-
trayed the secrets of that letter.
While in Rabelais time during the
seventeenth century French people ad-
hered strongly to the belief that sympa-
thetic inks of this character could be
and were used, they are now in high
feather over the discovery of a luminous
ink by one of their own countrymen.
This ink makes it possible for letters
to be read in the dark. One of the French
journals recently gave the recipe for
this ink. phosphorescentc compound
can be obtained by celebrating carbon
ate of chalk with sulphur.
Messrs. Peligot and Becquerel, both
of whom gave this matter great deal
of study, say now that the yellow glow
! can be obtained by adding to the
above mixture from one to two per
cent. of peroxide of manganese. To
make the writing appear in green
light it is necessary to mix with the
above little carbonate of soda, and
for the blue from one to two per cent.
of bismuth compound may be used.
BY porphyri2ing these phosphores-
cent substances and adding to them a
small quantity of linseed oil, the mix
ture can be used for topographic i'm
pressions from which plates can be
printed, which, exposed to the light in
the daytime, appear luminous at night.
