The Woman Who pours out Tea.

The woman who pours out tea is i'm
bued with graceful tact. Her desire to
appear well at an entertainment for
sweet charity's sake" is no less keen
than her wish to be attractive at a pure
ly social function. She knows how to
discriminate too. Friends with their
hands budget laden will not be apt to
come arrayed in purple and fine linen"
Recognizing the true code Of hospitality
that one must not Outshine ones guests
she wears a stylishly made woOlen gown

generally leaves to the bud who dis

is likewise here. The simple dress of

''Our business is suffering to some

practitioners to put up their own pre-

A writer III Machinery points out the
fact, as ascertained by examination, that
but very few steam gauges are correct
throughout the whole range of the scale
and remarks that in testing a gauge it
is desirable to make the pressure at
which steam is usually carried the most
important point to be determined. A
gauge may be correct at low pressure
and not so at higher pressures, and the
reverse may also be found, especially
with gauges that have been in use some
time. By many it is not considered adj
visable to use gauge for recording pres
sures as high as that shown ON the dial,
as few springs will stand such an ex-
tension without becoming permanently
set, to a certain extent, this being es-
pecially the case with the cheaper
gauges. 1t is, according to this writer,
not difficult matter to devise means
for comparing with q test gauge any
kind of force pump serving the purpose.
or the boiler feed pump may be util-
lied Again, gauges can be tested by fit
ting them to a piece of lead pipe, a
gauge at either end, the pipe being bent
to bring the gauges vertically.

help to the doctors. In one way 1t works
we'll. Not having prescription, the
patient cannot obtain indefinite quanti-
ties of tho medicine by having it put up
again and again at the apothecary's. 1t
is in that manner more than any other
that people acquire dangerous drug hab-
its.
ITO such point of development has
this new fad of the physicians arrived
that great factories are kept busy turn
ing out tablets and pills for sale to doc
tors only. The firms that own these es-
Establishments send agents all over the
country to solicit the patronage Of med
ioal men. From the latter they obtain
orders for the doses in small compass at

Carnot and jean Carries.

The death of Jean Carries, tho sculp-
tor, recalls an anecdote in which he and
the late President Carnot wero tie prin-
cipal actors. The artists busts and
figures at the Champ de Mars excited the
admiration Of all, and they were de-
servedly classed in the first rank. M.
Carnot, when on his visit to the salon,
noticed an old man, who seemed much
moved ON seeing him, standing before
the works Of art of the sculptor, Some
one said to the president, after pointing
out the artist; Here is need for repara-
ton, M. le President. Carries is one
of our most skillful men of art, and he
is not yet decorated. Forthwith M.
Carnot detached from the buttonhole of
one of the officers of the military house
hold in the place of cross of the chey-
alier a cross of an officer Of the Legion
Of Honor and placed it himself ON the
breast of Jean Carries. Tho next day,
in The Officiel, the artist was named q

He would remove In language terse
All bars in his decree.
No rank could ever intervene
To stay affections course.
NTwould bow its head with lowly mien
Before his gentle force.

An empress love her page,

Might throw her winsome gage.
