A society young woman of this city has
devised novel entertainment which is
shortly to be made public 1t is to be a re
ception for people who can't sleep at night"
Among her friends, she says, are great
many very delightful people who are trou-
bled with insomnia, and who confess that
they spend many frightful, walieful hours
walking the floor, looking out of the win
dow, rocking in easy chairs, trying to read
or write and in other useless and tiresome
occupations.
When her plans are fully matured, thig
original young woman intends ON at least
two nights in every week to be lat home
to those distressed female friends from mid
night until morning. The guests are re
quested to appear in any unique, respec'a
bic bedroom gown, bathrobes not excluded
The lights are to be dim, soothing music
and stupid conversation will be the only
diversion permitted, hot chocolate and wa
fers will be served, couches and easy chairs
will be provided in abundance, and the in
somnia victims are earnestly desired to fall
asleep as soon as possible.
1t is whispered that prizes win be offered
for the first snore, but this detail is not au-
chemically announced. The reception is to
be fact, however, and an eager expectancy
as to invitations is in the air.-Louisville

A little story of Senator Black burns own
telling is floating around in exclusive cir
cles. There is to be seen in several plate
glass windows a rather fine but high col
ored chrome, containing race course scene
with Secretary Carlisle Proctor Knott and
Senator Black burn in a club foreground,
the whole affair being an exp citation of the
product of awell known Blue Grass distil-
lery.
One day Senator Blackburn was met at
home by his wife and daughters, who, with
faces of suppressed merriment, told him
that a very fine picture which would please
him had just come by express and was in
the hall. He went and looked, and, lol the
chrome. A case of the goods came along
in its company. A chorus of feminine We
toes went up when he took revenge by say
ing that it was good and he would have it
hung up in the library. The next day a
letter came from the distiNer, saying that
Mr.. Carlisle and Proctor Knott had given
their consent to the use of their portraits,
and that he had taken the liberty of using
Senator Black burns without consulting
him, believing that he would not object.
The senator made the following reply:
! DEAR SIR-You have taken a great liberty in
/ using my portrait in your chrome without first
/ asking my consent but / forgive you, since ii
/ is the best portrait of me that have ever seen.
| But allow me TO call your attention to a Sc
rious anomaly in the composition Of the work
of art. You have put me on a Kentucky race
| horse, with my back to driving finish and my
hand on bottle of the worst whisky that was
ever distilled. Yours truly
&c. S. BLACKBURN.

Prusslc Acid.

The interesting fact has appeared in Ger
tain chemical operations that prussic acid
Is one of the products of the action of nitric
acid upon sugar. 1t is well known that
by acting upon sugar, sawdust or cellu-
lose with nitric acid oxalic acid in tolera-
BILE quantity is produced 1t seems that
in the course of an experiment in this line
by English chemists there was noticed the
smell Of prussic acid just after the violence
of first reaction had ceased and the evolu-
ton of nitrous fumes had diminished.
Subsequent examination proved beyond
doubt that prussic acid in considerable
quantity was present in the liquid, and
on submitting the latter to distillation
prussic acid was found in the condensed
products, and larger yield Of the acid
was obtained when the nitric acid was al
lowed to drop slowly into the sugar solu-
ton from tap funnel From this result
the opinion is expressed that the produc-
ton of hydrocyanio acid is due to the re-
duction of the nitric acid and to the action
of nitric of potassium and then acidulat-
ing with sulphuric aold-an action Of pc
ouliar theoretical interest.-New York

Nay, do not love me for my doughty deeds;
Nay, do not love me for my warriors weeds,
Nor for my form or face,
Nor for my pride of place,
Else one day might fall from grace
And penance do in vain and vainly tell my
beads.
Nay, love me but for true loves perfect sake;
Cast all thy love upon my soul for stake,
AS gamblers do with dice,
Oervaliant in their vice,
Not once alone, nor only twice,
And heal my wounded heart and help It's lonely
ache.
If love between us without reason be,
'Tis reason good, for reasonless is he
Then let him have his way,
And do not strive or pray.
With us the knave will surely stay,
Seeing in fate's despite how well we twain
agree.
Then since pure love is given on either hand,
The bargain is most righteous, and shall stand
When other loves grow cold
That are but bound by gold
And propped with reasons manifold,
For love on reason based is built on shifting
sand.

For the Joy of a day that is fled;

In a wish for old pleasures now dead.

When care was stranger TO me,
When life was filed full of quiet sublime

Untouched by the rude hand OF ills,
When youth was untroubled by blame OF by

And father was footing the bills.
