About Opals.

The prejudice against opals appears to
be disappearing. Anyhow they are pop
ular. There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees of merit.
The precious. or noble, or oriental opal
is the supreme. This has all the colors,
and when these colors are broken into
spangles it is then called the harlequin
opal. Then comes the fire opal, or gira-
sole, with hyacinth red and yellow reflec-
ton. The former comes from Hungary,
the latter from Mexico. The common,
or semiopals, are nonopalescent. The n.y.
drophane. OF oculus mundi, is nontrans-
parent, but becomes so by immersion
in water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly Opaque and of blu
ish white color. The hyalite is colorless,
pellucid and white. The opal jasper or
wood opal is the pe~trifaction of wood,
opalescent, but without the coloring
which makes the noble" gem SO pre-
cious.-Chicago Tribune.

At the Manicure's.

The manicure with the golden hair
was bending over the hand of a new
customer.
DO you want your hands bleached?'
she asked.

She applied the bleach, using more
than the ordinary quantity upon the
thumb and ~forefnger of the right hand.
After working for about five minutes
she stopped and said:
'It is always difficult to remove nico-
tine with the first application"
"Wh-a-a-t" gasped the society girl,
elevating her eyebrows. Nicotine:
What do you meanT"
1.-THE cigarettes, you know" replied
the manicure. "It's perfectly awful how
they stain the fingers, amt it," And she
smiled a smile that even the society girl
couldn't resist. That made them friends,
and they fell to discussing the different
brands of cigarettes. And when the job
was done the society girl whispered:
"What1l take the stain off"
"Use lemon juice-I dove all do"
"Thanks."-New York Herald.

Some New York Breakfasts.

Nearly every German bakery ON Third
avenue serves breakfast and luncheon to
the furnished room population of the
east side. Some serve eggs and cold
meats, coffee, tea and chocolate. The
majority, however, provide only coffee,
tea, rolls and cakes. Nine out of ten
of the customers take coffee and cake.
The latter is not the French or Ameri-
can kind. It consists Of four varieties
dear to the German palate-apple,
peach, prure and sugar. The last
named is also called cinnamon. 1t is
made of bread dough on the upper sur
face Of which is spread some butter,
sugar and cinnamon. Then it is baked
hard.
The peach and apple cakes are made of
thinly rolled bread dough, surmounted by
slices Of apples or peaches, IS the case
may be. When a little butter and sugar
have been placed between the slices, the
baker has approached as near perfection
as possible. The dough of the prune cake
is made like the other and covered
thickly with mashed stewed prunes.
In the best bakeries a slice of any of
these cakes from four to five inches
square is sold for 5 cents. A good cup of
coffee or tea with milk and sugar costs
the same. Those who like light and sweet
breakfasts can thus be satisfied for 10
cents. Probably 5000 east siders eat
such breakfasts in the bakeries every
morning.-New York Sun.

Senator Proctor is the owner of one of
the most valuable marble quarries in the
country, and his home at ~Proctorville, in
the Green mountains. possesses a beauty
unrivaled IN mountain districts. His
eldest son is manager of the works.
Some idea of the value of these quarries
and the enormous amount of work per-
formed can be estimated from the fact
that there are $4,000 names on the pay
rolls of the company, and the village of
Proctor is made up entirely of the en-
ployees. There are 500 cottages in the
village-beautiful little two story dwell
ings-that are rented at 81 per month
and always kept in the most perfect
repair. The drives in and around the
neighborhood are solidly macadamized
by the hard marble siftings from the
mines, and one may drive for miles over
the picturesque roads Oh a roadway IN
exampled for smoothness and freedom
from dust.-Washington Post.

The Origin of Starching.

The course of history carries US back
no further than the year 1864 for the
origin of starching in London. It was
in that year that Mistress Van der Plasse
came with her husband from Flanders
to the English metropolis "for their
greater safety" and there professed her
self a starcher. The best housewives of
the time were not long in discovering
the excellent whiteness of the dutch
linen" as it was called, and Mistress
Plasse soon had plenty of good paying
clients. Some of these began to send
her rufus of lawn to starch, which she
did so excellently well that it became a
saying that if any one sent her a ruff
made of a spiders web she would be
able to starch it. So greatly did her
reputation grow that fashionable danes
went to her to learn the art and mystery
Of starching, for which they gladly paid
a premium Of "a or e5, and for the Sc
cret of seething starch they paid gladly
farther sum of 20 shillings.-New York
World.

A Hair Splitting Bishop.

It is recorded of a certain hair split
ting English bishop, who was accus-
toned to compose his charges" in the
train, and whose desk was always placed
opposite to him, that he invariably treat
ed it as though it were a living vis-a-vis.
The train being very full on n occa-
sion. a would be passenger inquired if
this place was taken, and the bishop,
with his sunniest smile, expressed regret
that there was no room. Il don't think
that was quite right, my lord" said one
of his fellow passengers. What was

ly. ITO say that the place was taken"
Pardon me, l did not say that it was

the word occupied. San Francisco

Working For a HOLIDAY,

An Englishman stopping at me of the
hotels was commenting upon the ex.
treme restlessness and incessant go OF
Americans. He said, you Americans
have such a beastly idea Of the compen-
sation Of work"
What do you mean?" questioned a
Pittsburger standing near by.
"Oh. you people work for money.' was
the explanation.
Il don't see anything beastly about
that" was the retort. MAY I ask for
what you Englishmen work."
"Why, we work for our holiday," was
the reply.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

CONGRESS is to be importuned
by the railroad and express com
panies to enact a law making at
tempts at train robbery an indict-
able o%ffense under the federal laws.
There may be little objection to
this except from those sticklers
for state rights who want the
states to retain jurisdiction over
such cases But while congress
is engaged upon railway legisla-
ton, why not pass a law compell-
ing the railroads to equip their
cars with automatic couplers and
other life-saying devices. While
legislating for the railroads, con
gress should not overlook the de-
mands Of the employees, the ship
pers and the travelling public.

DESCRIBE YOUR FRIEND.

Fit Scores of Others.
HE was a young man and fairly good
looking; smooth face and without
glasses; wore a dark suit; was about 5
feet in height and looked like a married
man. Anybody would know him" Such
was the description turned in by a young
woman who slipped quietly into the city
editors Office and wanted to advertise
for Chalmers. 1t appeared that Chalmers
had left home, and nobody knew why,
and this young oma had faith that
her recital of his personal traits would
bring him back. 1t was a good example
of the average persons power Of descrip-
ton Of a fellow being.
It is totally inadequate! Though man
be ~fearfully and wonderfully made,
there seems to be an unaccountable in
ability in nine persons out of every ten
to give a creditable word picture of any
one whom they have seen. Because we
understand the looks of a person when
we meet them, it never occurs to the
mind that other people do not grasp q
thorough idea of his appearance with a
few passing phrases of description.
Your friend comes in, and you ex-
pound to him that such and such a mar
has just called for him, but almost in
variably your exposition is a jumbled lot
of phrases which apply to the human
race in general.
The other day when l rushed into my
off % yopy, with n oc1r,np ctprry ~, +l,o
end of my tongue-or at the tip of my
pen, to be more accurate-I was given
this greeting:
Hello! Aman has just been in to see
you"
What did he look like?"
'Oh, he was a good looking fellow
not very tall, rather heavy, but not too
much So"
"Was he old or young?"
about 90 Or 25, | should say"
what color of hair?'
II don't remember now. However, !
don't think he had a mustache."
How dressed?"
"Oh. just an ordinary business suit"
Have you aver heard such a descrip-
ton? If not, watch yourself next time
you tell of some ones call. You will be
surprised to find that your description
would fit almost any member of the
human race.
Why is it?
Idon't know. We read in books that
it's because we don't cultivate the habit
of intelligent observation.
There was once a boy who learned
how to describe what he saw. Every
morning he vas sent by his father to
walk rapidly by an elegantly arranged
window, and then afterward to repeat
to him all the things he saw at this one
glance at the panorama and to describe
them. At first the lad could remember
but few things that his eye may have
caught in the passing glance, but in time
he could remember almost everything
in a show window by merely seeing it
once.-Boston Herald.

FLOWER SUGGESTIONS.
Maidens' Barometer For Divining tho

Maidens' Barometers For DivIning tho
Depths of Their Sweetlearts' Love.
1t is singular to see how many mem
ingless ceremonies are now practiced by
young women-ceremonies which were
formerly used in earnest as love charms
or incantations. Most of these have an am
atory origin. and in connection with not
afew certain flowers are used, presumably
as a means of foretelling the future. In
several parts Of New England when a
young lady expects a visit from her lover
she will pluck q marigold, take it in her
hand when he arrives and carry it until
the end of his visit, when from Its fresh
or faded condition she will Judge of the
strength of his affection.
A German girl, after having been
called on by her lover. will put a star
flower or dandelion in water and leave it
there until his next visit, drawing an
omen from its condition, while a Spanish
maiden will take a moss rosebud, wear
it on her breast, and if it expands to be-
come a perfect flower the omen is con-
sidered exceedingly fortunate. A super
stition of the same kind is shown by the
East Indian maiden who places a poppy
in her hair. In England the primrose is
used for the same purpose, and in coun-
try districts of New England the spikes
Of the rib wort plantain are taken,
wrapped in dock leaves, placed beneath
a stone, and if the next day signs of new
buds appear the omen is considered
happy.
In France young ladies DESTROYS of
ascertaining the extent Of a lovers affec-
ton take the common daisy and pull off
its leaves M by one, with the question,
docs he love me? Does he love me
little? Does he love me much? Does he
love me with all his soul?' Marguerite
in Faust" uses the common blue bottle
with similar questions. In England the
ash leaf is sometimes employed to ascer-
tain the f~aithfulness of an absent lover,
and the Irish maiden learns of her future
by putting a shamrock in her shoe, after
which she walks abroad, and the first
man she meets or one of his name will be
her husband.-New York Advertiser.
