Sitting Down on Him.

A rather loudly-dressed gentleman
stepped into the necktie department
the other afternoon and, in a super
cilious tone that would have nettled a
craven image into anger, uttered the
single mandatory word, "Neckties!'
and then drew back his head as if the
clerk was entirely beneath his notice.
The top-lofty air aggravated the sales
may, but he quietly displayed a number
of late patterns with a deferenti& air.
'These," said he, obsequiously, "are the
very newest things, and are excellent
quality at twenty-five CENTS

the customer. ''Twenty-ive cents! Do

Took Time by the F0relock.

The funniest after-election story is
told by Representative Hopkins, of ILL
nois. In his district is the little cross
roads post-ofice Of Ivanhoe, over which
in Clevelands administration, a Ger
man democrat presided. When Presi-
dent Harrison came into power Mr..
Hopkins had the democrat succt eded
by a Teutonlc republican, who died
about a year and half ago. His wife
was thereupon appointed postmistress.
On the day after election the German
democrat appeared at the postofice.
"Cleveland has won," he said, with &C
cents Of the fatherland and Of triumph
delightfully."- mixed, "The post-office is
mine" The widow, knowing that
Cleveland had been elected, and unsus-
pectingly believing that her official ca
feer was ended, did not object when
her predecessor brought big wagon
and carted the entire contents of the
post-oftice over to his store. He has
been acting as postmaster ever since.
Mr.. Hopkins reported the facts to the
post-office department, and an inspect
Or was speedily sent to convince the
enterprising democrat of the error of
his way.

From the Cape to Cairo.

The business partner Of one of the
directors of the company formed to
build the telegraph line from the Cape
to Cairo has given Pail Mall Gazette
reporter some interesting information.
Capital has been subscribed to the ex-
tent of 100000, which is considered
sufficient to carry the line as far as
Uganda. The materials are now being
ordered in London, and will be shipped
shortly. The poles are to be of iron Of
light construction, in order to outma-
neuver the white ants, who would eat
away wooden poles. From Salisbury
the line is to be carried to Tete, on the
Zambesi, and from thence to Blantyre.
There Consul Johnson will report the
result Of his surveys as to the best
manner of proceeding on to Uganda,
and the constructing party will have to
come to terms with the natives and
Arabs by substituting the chiefs and
others of influence. There will be moth
ing in the way of impenetrable under
growths or rank vegetation to contend
with, as the line will avoid the low
country and keep to the high plateau
the entire distance.

A Rude Awakening.

He was a dreamy romantic young
fellow from Tacoma, and he was doing
the fair thoroughly, entering into the
spirit Of the thing, so to speak, with all
his ability. When the purple shades Of
twilight were falling he stepped gayly
into a picturesque gondola, adorned
and propelled by real, live gondoier
attired in blue and white, with every
detail of the Venetian costume COM
plete. Our westerner reveled in the
charm Of the hour and the surround
ings. He threw himself into the spir-
it Of ancient Venice and fancied he saw
the bride Of the Adriatic lying ghost
like upon the sunlit-tinted waters
With a woman's artidce he tried to
tempt the gondolier into song. 1t was
in vain, however, for the solitary boat
man at the stern was evidently think
ing Of his beloved Venice. The young
man from Tacoma at last sought terra
flrma and as he scared, rather than
walked away; he heard with horror
the mystical gondolier distinctly re-
mark to his fellow in the bow:

ROCkERIES IN GARDENS.
Where Ferns aad Other Plants May E
Made Effective.

Where Ferns and Other Plants May Be
Made Effective.
One of the pleasantest features in
gardening for small places is rock
cry, that is to say, small banks or
bluffs, made of projecting stones and
earth, in which certain kinds Of
plants love to grow. A considerable
degree of taste is, however, required
in order to make these little rocker
les ornamental The great idea
should be to make them look as
natural as possible.
1t is not uncommon to see a little
| mount of stones and earth of this
character in the center of grass
plot far away and disconnected with
any other artificial features, says
Meehan's Monthly. These rarely
look we'll, they are entirely out of
place, but if they can be made to ap-
pear as if they were being projected
from some bank, Or as if they sprang
out of the ground in some natural
way, the effect is very different.
Under the shades of trees especial
ly little rock garden can be made
particularly effective by the use OF
ferns and other shade-loving plants.
The great effort in all these attempts
should be to make art and nature
seem to gradually merge the one into
the other. It is great dividing
line, the gulf between the two, which
renders hideous very often that
which might be beautiful, both from
a natural and artistic point of view

: A Portiere, Made of Shells.

A lady who spends her summers at
the seaside has collected about bush
ell, more or less, Of small, almost fiat,
thin, yellow shells, which abound at so
many points on the coast. With these
she this year fashioned a portiere that
is novel and pretty beyond description.

and then strung on a delicate wire, so
that the narrow end of one is next to

of strings were made in this way long

An Ocean Oddity,

There are scores upon scores of
different forms of marine animal life
that come within the category as
signed to "star fishes" but the most
singular specimen in the whole group
is the splendid Aetrophy ton--the
"Sea Basket" of the Sailors It is
truly wonderful specimen of ma
rine life, having hundreds of long
and short, straight, twisted and curled
tentacles; and, but for the geometric
precision of the plan upon which the
star-like "body" is fashioned, might
be mistaken for miniature, circular
specimen of the devil fish. The GEN.
ter of,the creature, the club" from
which the five stout arms radiate. is
the body, head and thinking ma
chine" of our curious Astrophyton.
The whole, not including the laby-
inthine tentacles, which branch to
all points Of the compass, looks for
all the world like an animated Fourth
of July fire wheel The five main
arms are divided into three each
within . short space from the astro's
body, and these three are almost i'm
mediately subdivided' into innumer-
able other arms and tentacles, the
whole forming a net by means of
which it captures its prey and holds
its victims until the life has been
sucked out of them. 5.5 5l=j.#. *s.s. rs
