An Aged Mans Amusement.

Henry Russell, the veteran com
poser of Cheer, Boys, Cheer, passes
half the day in making miniature
chests of drawers. They are in every
respect a work of art, eachsdrawer

room on the ground floor of his
charming house especially set apart
for his work, and therein may be
seen all kinds of tools and nails, two
benches, tins of paint, glue pots and
large planks of wood.
He never attempts to make any
thing else but these little chests OF
drawers, and he often sends them to
charity bazaars, where, if his auto

Fiokleness, Thy Name Is Maine Girl


The other day Lewiston young
lady made an agreement with one of
her admirers to go out walking that
evening. Later she met another,
whom she invited to call that same
evening. She had forgotten the first.
Then when third one of her beaux
made his appearance she agreed to
go walking with him. In the even.
ing the first young man came for
her. She went, and soon the second
arrived, and being told that she was
out he said he would go and meet
her.
When she saw him coming, she re-
membered her engagement, excused
herself from the first young man
and walked with the second. They
came to a confectionery store, and
she remained outside while he went
in after chocolates. The third young
man came along while she waited,
and she graciously promenaded off
with him. Now she says she will be
more careful of her appointments. =

Offensive and Exasperatine Expressions.

Offensive and Exasperating Expressions.
In our own opinion the use of
common form" jocularities is most
offensive in those who think of them
as wit, though most painful in per-
sons who use them unconsciously and
as mere methods of expressing their
meaning. We feel that those who
try to force laugh out of such ex-
pressions as my downy couch"
or committing matrimony," who
squirm into a smile as they ask if
there isn't room for little one," or
who speak of ''japanning their trot-
ter cases, " might fairly be shot at
sight.
When some excellent mother of a
large and heavily facetious family
catches up and uses almost uncon-
sciously such phrases as getting
outside square meal, the clerk of
the weather, " she's no chicken" or
put on your warpaint," and when
even the father mechanically talks
Of performing his ablutions," the
sense of pathos overcomes all others.

Fast Takers.

When Charles Mathews was in this
country, the rapidity of his speech
was a cause of much establishment,
but there was no loss of distinctness
on that account. He was said to be
the most rapid talker and singer on
the stage. Sarah Bernhardt talks at
a furious speed sometimes, but every
speech that is to be spoken fast is
practiced again and again, a little
more quickly each time, in order to in.

Pine Trees on Volcanoes.

Every one who admires trees must
be interested in the result of Profess
or Heilprin's studies of the pines that
clothe the slopes of the great vol
canic mountains of MEXICO.
These huge peaks seem to have
pierced their way upward through q
mantle of pine forest, which clings
to their sides up to height of nearly
81 miles.
The vertical range of the pine in
Mexico is remarkable. 1t is found

stands defiant of the cold close to the
perpetual SHOWS that cover their
summits.-Youth's Companion.

Columbian Stamps For Etiquette.

An elderly lady in a modest man
ner leaned over the counter of a

EXAMINING A WITNESS.

timony of Conductor.
! General Butler as counsel for the
| plaintiff III a damage case against
one of the Boston street railway
companies, some years since, turned a
point in his clients favor and won his
case by an adroit and original move.
The accident in question had taken
place in crowded street, and the
testimony was contradictory and
confusing. The conductor of the car.
on the witness stand, swore point
blank against the plaintiff. His evil
dence was concise, and he claimed to
have seen all the occurrences of the
| affair and described them infinitely,
disputing the general 8 client at every
turn. 1t was manifest that if the
conductor told the truth the plaintiff
had no case.
The general took up the cross ex-
animation, but the witness stuck TO
! his story.
What is that?" said the general
pointing to the bell punch suspended
from the witness neck.
| Bell punch, " was the answer
And what is a bell punch?" limo.
Gently inquired the lawyer. And
then followed a lengthy explanation
of how the machine rang the bell to
attract the passengers attention that
the amount was being recorded by
the machinery on the inside. The
why's and wherefores, the necessity
for the thing and the company
rules were gone into until the court
was well nigh out of patience and
the jury were plainly wearying. !
And what do you do if a mistake
is made and you come out short when

PAYING SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS.

Practical Hints to Homeless" People who
Incur Debts of II Hospitality.
Hospitality is one of the chiefest of
the virtues, and every head of a
household is supposed to understand
perfectly what is meant by the word.
The truly hospitable woman, whether
she be so from nature or from pri1f-
ciple, opens her house freely to her
friends, entertains them to the best
of her ability and cares not whether
she be repaid in kind or not.
But there is a vast homeless ele-
ment among us, especially in our
cities and large towns They live in
hotels and boarding houses, and are
always ready to accept invitations.
Many of these unfortunate people
for everybody is unfortunate who
has no home-possess limited means
and can make only the simplest re
turn for the favors which they re-
ceiye. Flowers on occasion, a card
at Easter or Christmas, these are all
that they can afford, and from them
these simple recognitions suffice.
On the other hand, Saany of thea
are well to do, if Not wealth,
What would you do, asked such a
one of woman to whom he was lis
family related, and who had fl'o
quently invited him to her house, IF
you, with your hospitable instincts,
We're living as l am, in a boarding
house, and were unable to show in
any way your appreciation of these
charming attentions2"
The lady blushed and replied by
some commonplace, but she could
not help rejecting that if she were
indeed situated as her friend was she
would certainly find out some way of
returning her obligations.
At any first class hotel a beautiful
luncheon or dinner party may be
given from So to So a plate upward.
A box may be taken for a musicale
or any other entertainment of high
order, and refreshments at a good
restaurant may be served either be-
fore or after it. Sailing parties, pic
nics-dozens of ways may be found
of returning obligations, if one really
desires to do so.
There are plenty of women as well
as homeless" men who seem never
to feel any burden of reciprocity
for Inequalities received. To these
almost the same means are open as

is no excuse for any woman not to be

An Important Decision.

News was received in this city yester-
day of the decision in favor of complain
ants in an important patent suit which
has been pending since 1S90in the United
States Circuit Court for the district of
New Jersey. The suit was brought by
the United lndurated Fibre Co., of this
city, against the New York Wood Fibre
Co., of Belvidere, N. j., who are the only
manufacturers of pulp pals outside the
United Co., and its licensees in the
country. The suit was brought on two
patents and involved the pail as made by
them and the process of waterproof1ng
it. Judge Dallas of the Circuit Court
has sustained both patents and ordered a
decree for compliments. The case has
been hotly contested and the decisi on is
of great Importance to the United Indu-
rated Fibre Co., since it assures them an
absolute control of the manufacture of
pulp ware in the United States. Com
plainants' attorneys Fish, Richardson &
Starrow of Boston, assisted by S. W.
Bates, ESQ.,, of this city.

DAINTY EVERYDAY GOWNS.

| stitched neatly. Some OF them have a
| full jabot of simple lace and others jabots
of plaid silk or a profusion of ribbons
Some, again, are all white, with only
tucks for trimming, made in clusters
three very narrow and one wide. They
will probably be much liked for ordinary
wear and will make cool costume even
when worn with wooden skirt.
Another convenient and very pretty
style for the coming season, and indeed
for the present, is a full waist of plaid
surah, opening on one side, where there
is knife plated rufile, with 10 small
buttons by way of ornament. Tt joins
the skirt under wide belt of surah.
The skirt may have plain, fat band or
a rufle of plaid surah, or it need not
have any trimming. The sleeves may
be of surah or of other material, as the
taste Of the wearer may dictate. These
separate waists are most convenient, and
they are very dressy and youthful, and,
above all, they are comfortable.
Another pretty fancy is to have
jacket of black silk, faille or taffeta if
preferred, or indeed any silk. The jack
ct has a reverse collar, not very pro-
nounced, and a short position in the
back. A full vest, collar and belt are
made of some light and becoming shade
of silk fulled over the chest by plaits at
the top and gathered at the bottom.
The sleeves can be made of the same
silk, or of material like the skirt, or Of
some other color The jacket is out
lined with narrow bead trimming and
should be of colors that would harmon
ize with any skirt. Black and pale blue,
pink or tan would be the best. The vest
could be made separate, and in that
manner give greater variety to cos
tunes, which is a desirable considerar
ton not only because Of it's economy, but
for the pleasant relief from monotony
it affords.
