Boards.

The Moors hold by their boards
when they swear, in order to give
weight to their oath, which after this
formality they rarely violate. The
length of beard seems to weigh with
them more than the stock of brains.
Admiral Keppel was sent to Al
giers to demand satisfaction for the
injuries done to His Britannia Maj
esty's subjects by their corsairs; the
dey, enraged at the boldness of the
ambassador, exclaimed that he won
dered at the insolence Of the English
monarch in sending him a message
by foolish, beardless boy"
The admiral, somewhat nettled, re-
piled that III his master had sup
posed wisdom was to be measured by
the length of the beard, he would
doubtless have sent the dey a
he-goat."
This answer SO enraged the dey
that he ordered his mutes to attend
with the bow-strings, saying that the
admiral should pay for his boldness
with his life Nothing daunted by
this threat the ambassador took the
dey to the window, and showing him
the English feet said, IF it was his
pleasure to pue him to death, there
were Englishmen enough in that fleet
to make him glorious funeral pile"
The dey, who wore a long beard, took
the hint from the man who had none.

Furnishing the Kitchen.

Few women are strong enough to
keep bare floor properly scrubbed,
and carpet absorbing the odors and
greases of cooking is an abomination,
therefore it is a good plan to buy
brown oilcloth for the kitchen floor,
as it shows wear less rapidly than
other colors, and blends better with
the woodwork, writes. Helen Jay, in
an article on FURNISHING a Modern
Home" in the LadieF Home Journal
To be sure this seems like little
thing, but attention to details is an
essential in the harmonious evou-
tion OF home. In buying this oil
cloth the housewives labors will be
lessened if enough more be bought to
cover the closet floors.
Few kitchens are conmodious-for
this reason flap table, which, when
not in use, can be folded up and fast
ened against the wall, is IA positive
boon. II not Obtainable in the shops,
one can be easily made by taking
dressmaker's stationary cutting board
as model. The top of this table
should be covered with white marble
cloth, and If the closet shelves are
covered with the same mate ial they
can more easily be kept clean and
sweet. Besides this table two chairs
are needed for the kitchen. They
should be made entirely OF wood, as
cane seats are treacherous things and
repairing them expensive work.

Fortune in the Field.

Recent experiments point to tho
growth of new and profitable in
dustry from the prolific scrub growth
OF the Florida forests and fields.
1t has been proved that the leaf of
the saw palmetto can be ground into
pulp which makes an excellent
article of hollow-ware for domestic
and other uses, and the present ex-
periments are expected to prove the
adaptability OF this material to the
making OF all kinds of paper. For
some time past the peculiar cabbage,
like substance in the top of the cab
bage palmetto has been used with
the tender tops rs we'll, as a fiber in
the manufacture OF parchment. 1t
Is now proposed to obtain cheap paper
fiber from the ordinary scrub plant.
Some of this pulp has been success
fully worked up into pals, tubs,
basins and other hollow-ware. The
supply of saw palmetto is practically
inexhaustible in Florida. Millions
of acres are covered with it, and
when cut down to the ground it
grows up again two or three times a
year. A crop that grows without
cultivation and in such very large
quantities bids fair to have millions
in it..

them round and round their cage,
and they had crouched in a corner
at the word of command. though he
was but weak human being, and
they were mighty wild beasts, and
could have torn him limb from limb
had they realized their power.
He had no weapon in his hand, if
we except short whip which he oc-
casionally cracked over the tigers
heads. His performance being end
ed, amid breathless silence on the
part OF the spectators, Signor Scarem
stepped from the cage unframed, and
then the tumultuous applause broke
forth.
People crowded about him to praise
his courage, and one man said:
"Don't you regard that as very dan
gerous?"
"Not at ALL" replied the trainer.

you keep on the right side OF them. {"

from twelve to fifteen pounds each,
he could carry them home secreted
in his lunch basket. His later steal

was discovered after his confession.
Some of the gold he sent to himself
at the mint by express, and when it

ordering the coming of the gold bull

A Social HlissteD.

An amusing story was told some
years ago Of a certain Madame de s,
French woman of high social ambi-
tlons. She was anxious to become
acquainted with and to be known as
the friend of persons high In rank;
and she left inc stone unturned to
further her interests in that direction.
Returning from the country to Paris
one day in railway carriage as the
story runs she fell into conversation
with a Remarkably well-dressed but
quiet and reses1c ti man who sat in
the seat OPPOSITE. After a while she
CHANGED to mention impressively that
she had observed that the Countess
Lemoine was passenger in the next
carriage, and, to her satisfaction, she
found that the gentleman to whom
she had been talking was intimately
acquainted with her. OF the Count
ess's establishment and circle of
friends he told her a great many in.
teresting particulars.
SO pleased was she with the talk
on this sub5ect--proying her acouaint-
ance. she thought, to be a man OF de-
cidedly high position in Partisan so
ciety-that she ventured to make
what was even for her q bold stroke,
and asking him for his card, politely
requested his company at her next
solree. The train arrived. Madame
de 5. alighted on the same platform
with the Countess. She looked then
to see the familiar recognition be-
tween the lady of rank and ner new
friend. But what was her surprise
when the Countess, holding up her
finger, beckoned unceremoniously to
him, and said, John see to the bag
