Caste In a BootbIack.

The idea of caste and class extends
even to the bootblacking fraternity.
This is illustrated by recent occurrence
in Broad street.
An Irish shoe polisher hasa stand in
front of Delmonico's old restaurant. Not
long since he entered a brokers' Office to
render professional services. In his alb
sence dandy young negro seated him
self in the chair and awaited his return.
When the bootblack again appeared
on the scene, he was Mortified. AS he
approached his stand the negro said,
"Shine em up, please, and be quick
about it,"
mot if know myself" replied the
bootblack, with an oath. "Get out of
that chair" he continued. 'It's bad
enough for me to be shining boots all
me life, but I've got this to say never
shined shoes but for one of my own col

A nreach OF Etiouette.

In Holland woman is secondary
consideration snd poor consideration
at that. No Dutch gentleman when
walking on the sidewalk will move out
of his way for lady. The latter turns
out invariably. however muddy or dam
gerous the street. Ladies very rarely
make any requests of the lords Of crea-
tion. An American woman asked Hol-
land gentleman at party to bring her a
certain book from table. The bewild-
cred stare with which he favored her
convinced her that she had committed a
conventional ofrense. He brought the
book, but quietly informed her that o
Hollander would never have asked such
favor.-F. H. Stauffer in Kate Fields

Points Ahout Needles.

The great sail needle, which has to be
pushed with steel palm, would puzzle
most people; SO, too, the broommaker's
needle, which must also be pushed with
steel palm. The curious knitting ma
chine needle, with us latchet; the ARA
sene and crewel needles, and the needle
for shirring machines; the weaver's pin
for picking up broken threads, with an
open eye in the hook. The needle, as
we see it today, is the evolved product
of centuries of invention. In its primi-
tive form it was made of bone. ivory or
wood. The making of Spanish needles
was introduced into England during the
neign Of Queen Elizabeth. Point by
point the manufacture has improved

The Christian Name.

The term Christian name" is used in
England and America only. "Baptismal
name is used in other countries. The
terms seems to have been used first after
the reformation, when Biblical names
were used as reaction against the use
of the saints names in the calendar. 1t
is evident that all Biblical names are not
Christian, but the reaction went. SO far
as to consider everything in the Bible az
Christian and everything not in the Bi-
BILE as pagan or certainly nonchristian.-

duty Of performing the "Haj" is recog.

seem that the journey-made principally
in well appointed steamers--involved any
particular hardships.
But the usual conditions Of the ''pil,
grim traffic" are somewhat different
from those Of ordinary passenger vessels.
The Malay pilgrim, whose ticket to and
from Mecca is provided by q passage
broker, has to find his own provisions
while on board. In all cases he has to
pay smartly for conveyance from Jeddah
to Mecca overland. unless he elects to dc
the journey on foot, but in any event he
has to provide the necessary commits.

permitted by regulation to carry the 500
or more pilgrims who embark. Should,
as sometimes happens, an epidemic
break out during the voyage, the death
rate becomes tragical. The worst hard
ships, however, commence on landing al
the evil smelling and by no means
healthy port Of Jeddah.
Few OF the pilgrims provide them
selves with adequate necessaries to
tramp the greater portion of the 100
miles which separate the city Of Mecca
from its nearest port. Yet worse is their
condition ON returning The price Of
food is exorbitant, and thousands perish
annually Of exhaustion and insufficient
nourishment--and this despite the best
effortssof the British and other consuls
at Jeddah, who issue all needful warn

A few extra days detention exhausts his
small stock of provisions, and he falls a

that large proportion of those who
visit Mecca never return to their own

disliked by captains and officers. As for
Europeans unfortunate enough to b.

 Chicago is altogether very much alive. and points with pride to Its record in the panicky times of late, giving side glance to the great metropolis of the country ss 1t does So; while on the other hand the big New York journals are disposed to call down Chicsgo when a comparison of the great banking institutions of the two champion American cities is concerned.

4th of this month the hrst young Enaies of the successfully matched brood began to appear, creeping out between the coils of the python mother. Every day more appeared, until on the 10th, when the mother st last left her long continued po- sition, there were more than thirty young snakes. They were ss thick As . mans thumb, about two feet long, and exquisite ly marked, their light ealor contrAsting strongly with the dark brown of their mother. The empty eggs, slit In a re- msrkable manner, looked like & heap of flat leather pockets or bags. The young pythons, which st 6ust resenbled Medu- sa's head, began to creep away from their mother-some lyiug in a tangled heap un- der the blanket, some twi.ted separately into small knot in the corners of the chest The python whose eggs were de- stroyed by her forsAking her position has gone blind. The matching Of python snakes in confinement Is of very rare oc- eurrence, but the place the mother WAS kept in in the Lsipsic Geological Gardens Is tropicslly hot. The occurrence proves the truth of the belief that 1t takes about two months to hatch such creatures.

INTERFERING.

Enterprising Chicago is receiving a vast deal of hearty and deserved sympathy over the prospect that the big fair may entail a heavy financial loss upon It's projectors and hackers, estimated at SIC, ,0OO,O0 On this subject the Cincinnati Tribune remarks: 'Tf Chicsgo's liberal stockholders lose every cent of their investment they can content themselves with the reflection that they surprised the world. Other cities and other nations in the future will create expeditions, but they will be spologetio. They will be with the excuse, "We do not expect to rival the Columbian exposition, but, etc."
 Chicago, however, does not give up the ship yet. The Herald says: "With an average paid attendance of 100, 900 persons a day the worlds fair is entering upon its boom period. All the serious inequalities have been smoothed down. The various departments of the great show have reached the maximum of attractiveness. Entertainment as we'll as instruction has been provided by the authorities. The three months yet remaining during which the exposition will be open are the most pleasant of the year, and they are tht months during which the farmers can bes leave their farms. The harvest will soor be gathered, the grain sold and the money available for trip to the white city. | the attendance increases in the ratio of th last few weeks 1t is not unreasonable t. expect an average of 200, 900 during Sep tembsr and October, probably reaching quarter of e million for the last few day of the fair. If these expectations are re alized the exposition will not only be Al | artistic but also, to substantial degree, | financial success. The bonds and the float | ing debt will all be taken care of and some thing will be left for the stockholders
 Except for the financial stringenoy nor
 would have been accomplished, but con
 sidering all the conditions the outlook

The other python, who had laid several dozens of eggs ss big s goose eggs and covered with 8 thick, leathery skin, remained lying upon them in a pyrsmidAl coil, st the apex of which protruded her head.

The exterior is of granite and the building covers An area of 2l $50 feet. The Sgure of the Angel MOrini, surmouuting the oen- trsl east tower, is twelve feet Ave and one. half inches in height. Numerous electric lights are placed on each of the six tow er.. It Is impossible h this brief descrip- ton to give one an idea of the eIguts.te beauty or the ingenuity and completeness of ths appointments of the interior of the temple with its grand stsiEEsyR and mar ble floors; its bAp.ismAl font, supported hy twelve life size oxen; Its rich and cost ly furnishings. magnificent chandeliers and oil painttngs; Its GreciRn columns, CO., lOssAl, ripple mirrors snd jsweled win dOws. Hydraulic elevators in two of the west towers carry passengers 10 various floors and are in keeping with all the other elegant appointments of the temple. The afternoon preceding the dedication day in
 vitatiOns were issued to thousRnds of prominent Gentle citszsns and their friends to inspect the interior. and those who E-Ailed themselves of the courtesy of the church will never cease to oongrEt- ulA.e themselves that the opportunity was afforded them Of viewing such SD enchBnt- ing scene.
