that you will not be annoyed, and upon
this assurance your friend proceeds to
say: "If you are quite sure you will not
be angry will tell YOU" Then comes
some unpleasant thing rejecting on your
temper, your tastes or, if there is flaw
to be found, your habits. Sometimes 1t
comes in the definite form Of an assertion
that you have been guilty Of some atroci-
ty of which you know yourself to be in
nocent. Very naturally, i'll the lat
ter case, you ask whence came the
charge, only to find that the calumniator
has extracted promise that the authors
identity shall not be revealed. So you
are left defenseless. You cannot deny

To Preserve Fabrics.

German ingenuity is stated 70 have re-
sorted TO method-EeYiyed from the
most ancient past-of rendering fabrics
proof against the ra7ages Of decay for
an indefinite period, process by which
1t Is said, no matter how delicate the
texture or color of the fabric NAV be, its
long life is assured. 1t appears that the
inventor IN this case, a German chemist,
based his experiments On the commonly
known fact that the wonderful preserva-
ton characteriZing the headbands Of
Egyptian mummies is attributed to their
having been impregnated with kind Of
resin. Acting upon this assumption, ex.
perments were made with the substance
extracted from birch bark, with the re-
suit that the green tar left after the oil
used in tanning has been extracted from
the white bark OF the birch tree yields a
substance neither acid nor alkaloid; and
this, in solution with alcohol, forms a
liquid with power of resisting, after
once becoming dry, even the action Of
alcohol itself, and is alleged to possess
the property-so long desideratum-of
rendering textile fabrics apparently i'm
perishable, as far as decay is concerned,
peculiarly valuable property being also
claimed for it, namely, ready union
with the most delicate as well as brilliant
cOlors. New York Sun.

PeopIe Who Soil Books,

Librarians are not the only ones who
complain Of persons who habitually soil
books loaned to them by thumb stains
and marginal penciling. That habit is
the heaviest cross imposed on dealers in
rare and expensive books. 1t is a prac
tice with such dealers to send such books
out for inspection when requested by
those to whom the dealer thinks there is
a chance to make sale. Valuable books
often suffer from the practice. Samuel
J. Tilden, while good buyer of books,
was also a great offender in this respect.
He thought nothing Of keeping book
for weeks, making dealers send to him
for it several times, and finally returning
it thumbed and dog cared, with a mes
sage that he did not want it. On the
whole, booksellers lost nothing through
Mr.. Tilden, for he did not spare money
when a book caught his fancy, and his
library contained many treasures, but at
times his Whims We're costly and yexa
tious to those who tried to please him
Dealers say that there are many men il
this city now TO whom his habits seem
to have been transmitted.-New York

Stairs Were New to Her.

Some Of the immigrants arriving IL
this country are wonderfully ignorant Of
the commonest domestic appliances. A
lady who had fit Of economy not long
ago concluded to get fresh arrival from
Castle Garden, hoping by her wise man
agement to train the girl into capable
servant. Biddy arrived, stout and will
ing and rosy, and with mouth wide open
in surprise at the novelties surrounding
her on every side. On being taken to
the stairs to go up to her room she
stopped suddenly. And is it up thin
things that DILL have to go:n she said,
panic stricken.
She explained that it was the first time
that She had ever seen staircase. She
oyercame her fear speedily, however, for
the next morning the entire family were
awakened by q sound that resembled the
prancing of a war horse. fastening to
investigate the cause, the irritated mas
ter of the house discovered Biddy racing
up and down the wooden staircase in the
abandonment Of her JOY at having dis.
covered the chang of it." "Shure," she
said, sit is an illigant amusement.

It's Her wav. Rless Her.

It was an up town surface car, and
three women carrying small parcels
boarded it.
After disposing Of their bundles and
themselves on the seats, two of them
started desperately at work to open the
pocketbooks that they carried IN their
hands. Neither succeeded to any ex-
tent, and the red haired conductor wait
ed and Winked at a cross eyed passenger
in order to note for future reference how
a cross eyed man winks.
Meanwhile each of the women had
grasped the others arm and exclaimed:
Don't, dear, l have change" The
third woman said nothing, and the con-
ductor paused in front Of the trio for his
fare.
Don't you dare to pay the fare!" said
one Of the women.
And don't your was the reply.
Then while this friendly argument
was going on, the small woman who had
said nothing quietly handed the right
change to the conductor and the agony
was over.
Faith, thin wimin do be always the
same" said the conductor as he returned
to his post. And who shall say he waa

No Doubt About American Soldiers.

Infantry, of course, constitutes the
main body Of all modern armies, and by
the quality of its infantry an army must
be judged. The capacity of Americans
to make excellent soldiers was proved in
the war beyond question. That hun
dreds Of thousands of men, most Of them
entirely unacquainted with the elements
even Of discipline and drill, were trans
formed in so brief period into officers
and soldiers was certainly one Of the
wonders of our time. But the material
was in the main of the best, the desire tC
master the new trade well nigh universal
and very strong, and there were from
the beginning many opportunities fol
practising what had been learned.
The armies Of 1862 were far and away
superior to the 1evies of 1861. The arm
les Of 1868 were decidedly superior tC
those of 1862. But in 1868 it is probable
that the highest point Of efficiency wa:
reached in both the Federal and Con,
federate armies in the east, and certainly
in the western army of the Confederacy,

Hints for Travellers.

Nausea, from the motion of the cars,
may be prevented in the following way;
Take a sheet Of writing paper large
enough to cover both the chest and
stomach, and put it on under the cloth
ing next to the person. If one sheet is
not large enough paste the edges of two
or three together, for the chest and
stomach must be we'll covered. Wear
the paper thus as long as you are travel
ing, and change it every day if your
journey is long one. Those who have
tried it say that it is perfect defense.
Those to whom the term 'sleeper" is
a hollow mockery may profit by the ex-
perience of statesmen and others who
travel frequently, and have the bed
made up with the pillow toward the To-
connective. Just why this should make
sleep easier is not explained, but the
plan is highly recommended.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

The Original Use of Canes.

Somebody has been looking up the his
tory of the original use of canes in this
country, and finds that they were for
merly part Of the repertory of the lead
ers of the church, being at one time the
principal badge Of the deacon. The dea-
cons cane was about five feet long, one
end being embelished with big knob,
the other with feathers. When the small
boy got too noisy or rebelled against the
powers that were he was given rap on
the head with the uncharitable end OF
the stick If the head Of the family for

Out of the Question.

Many pleasantries are written and
spoken about the capriciousness Of female
servants, but it is doubtful if, as class,
they approach in captiousness the male
domestic servants employed by the rich.
Good male servants are hard to get, and
proportionately hard to please.

COINED PLATINUM.
4 Monetary Experiment That Was
Made In Russia.

"Once upon time" said C. o. Baker
jr., of New York, who is connected with
the only platinum refining plant In the
United States to a Washington Post
reporter Russia concluded TO try the
experiment of using platinum as a
money metal. There is really little of
that article found anywhere eslse on the
globe except in the Ural Mountains, in
the Cars dominions, and, having a
monopoly OF the precious stuf, the idea
OF using IL as IA coin seemed plausible.
But II didn't prove II glittering sue
cess, and / have never seen any coin
made of platinum by that Government
dated later than 1874.
Here is one of the samples OF the
Russian experiment, said Mi Baker,
taking from his. pocket piece about
the size OF silver quarter. II bore
the date 1890, and had some Russian
characters on 1t, slgnifying 1t to be OF
the value of six rubles, or about f.75
