PARISIANS FOND OF PICNICK.
ING.

Carefully Planned and DecOrOusIy
Enjoyed Outings of the BOur-
geOis.
The Partisan bourgeoise is seen at hi )
best when engaged in picnicking, says
a writer in the New York Tribune
His eagerness to enjoy himself is tenn
pered by his good sense of dignity as
head of the family. The preparations
have generally been made long in ad-
vance, and the relatives and best
friends invited. Then, equipped with
huge baskets containing the provisions
and red wine, the whole party set
forth, pater and mater familias in the
van and the entire band of children,
relatives and servants bringing up the
rear. They submit to the discomfort
Of carrying the heavy baskets, of
trudging through the dusty streets and
roads, and of being jostled and hustled
in OVerCrOwded public conyeyances
without murmur, determined at all
costs to enjoy themselves. Finally,
when they have reached their deStina-
ton, generally a shady tree in one Of
the bOis around Paris, they establish
themselves on the grass. The men
take off their coats, the women their
bOnnets and hats, and after having en-
JOyed the good things which they have
brought with them, they pass the re-
mainder Of the day, the men smoking
and chatting. the women in gOssiDing
and the younger members of the party
in flirting and in games. There is none
of that heavy drinking that constitutes
the invariable accompaniment Of pic
MICS among the lower classes in Ger
many and Engla!Fd Everything is
quiet and decorOus. the comical feature
Of the whole affair being the endeavor
Of the worthy paterfamilias to lay
aside for the nOnce all his bourgeois
and city manners and instincts and to
assume a bucolic role Then in the
evening there is the homeward jour
ney, the women laden with wild flow
ers, the men carrying the empty ham
pers and baskets and everybody dusty
and tired, but eminently contented.
This is the holiday of probably three
fourths of the Partisan population and
it is holiday to which they look for
ward through the entire month, and in
some cases even through the whole
year

Old shoes in n New Light.

A French savant has invented a new
science which he terms scarpology,
whereby he proposes to diagnosticate
mental qualities from the appearance
of the shoes worn by the subject He
claims that shoes that have been worn
are full of faithful indications as to
lack of energy, ficlzlencss, bad temper,
or the opposite qualities, as the case
may be. If the sole and heel of shoe
after two months wear are equally
worn. the owner is an energetic bust
ness man, an employee that can be res
lied on, a good wife or an excellent
mother. If the outside edge is most
worn. tho owner is adventurous to
rashnesS and of bold and persistent
turn Of mind. Wear of the inside edge
indicates irresolution and weakness in
man and modesty in woman.

Boring 5000 Feet rhrough Rock.

The deepest borehole of the earth is
the one at Poroschowitz, in the Rybnik
district, upper Silisia. 1t has been
carried to q depth of something beyond
1000 metres (abOut 600 feet, and the
diameter of the tube at the bottom is
seven centimeters. Boring to such q
depth, and, moreover, through solid
rock, was almost impossible prior to
the invention of the Mannesmann tube;
the greater strength of this tube, as
compared with others, makes it pos
sible to use tubes of thinner gauge. It

Safeguards in the Bank of England.

Inc safeguards adopted ny Tie Bank
of England to prevent that institution
from being robbed are about as thor
ough and complete as human ingenuity
and mechanism can devise. Its outer
doors are so finely balanced that clerk
by pressing a knob under his desk
can close them instantly, and they
cannot be opened again except by spe-
cial process. The bullion department
is nightly submerged in several feet
of water by the action of machinery,
and in some of the banks the bullion
department is connected with the man
ayers sleeping apartments, so that an
entrance cannot be effected without set
ting off an alarm near this persons
head. If a dishonest official during the
day or night should take even one from
a pile of a thousand sove"eigns, the
whole pile would instantly sink and a
pool of water take it's place, besides
letting every one in the office know Of
the theft.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Costly GirdIe,

The most famous Jewel" as it may
be called, in New York society, is the
"stomacher" belonging to Mrs John
Jacob Astor. This is a superb COM
bination of gems arranged in the form
of a girdle, or pointed front piece, to be
worn over a lace dress front, or for an
ornament to the front Of a dec0llette
cOrsage. 1t is very large, and is COM
posed Of the finest gems Obtainable
in the world. 1t was the wedding gift
of Mr.. Astor to his bride, and was Sc
lected with more than ordinary taste,
or it could never have been worn in
public. But so we'll are the gems
blended, and so perfectly do they har-
monte with q fall of white lace that
young Mrs Astor looks perfectly
sweet when she has it on. although
her friends say that she wore it for
the first time with many misgivings
for fear it would look like a grand dis
play of wealth. Its cost was not far
from $1,000, 0OO.-New York Journal.

A Factory Club House.

1t is claimed that the finest club house
for factory girls in the world belongs
to DR.. Warmers Coraline" factory at
Bridgeport, Conn, where 1000 women
and girls are employed all the year.
The Seaside institute, as it is called,
is open free of expense to all the girls
in the factory. There is a night school,
with class instruction in college branch
es, choral work, the domestic arts, bust
ness methods and physical develop
ment. The auditorium has seating
capacity of 500, and from time to time
lectures, concerts and special entertain
ments are provided. In connection
with the circulating library there is a
reading room abundantly supplied
with current literature. There are six
marble baths, and Il well kept restau-
rant whore foods are served at actual
cost. These benefits naturally attract
very nice class of labor. Girls who
might otherwise take up clerical work
learn to stitch corSetS, weave cOraline,
make carriers, coraline dress stays,
etc.

Should he Called Queen A1exandrinn.

1t is probable that most OF her maj
esty's loyal subjects know the queen
only by her royal title, Victoria, and
that such of the remainder of them as
are aware that she bears another name
and that that is Alexandria, believe
that the latter is the second and there
fore, in some sense, the inferior name.
The well informed, however, know that
the queens names are Alexandrina Vic
toria, and a sentence or two in let
ter of her father, the duke of Kent,
written a couple of months after her
christening, and sold few days since
in Paris, may account for the choice
of the second as the principal name.

she is always called at home, is her last,

Queer String of Accidents.

At the corner of the Rue de SeZe-

FESTIVE, and the one attached to the
fiacre dashed away and started towGrd

ment, the driver was thrown out and
crushed under the wheels. A little fur

while, a young servant girl who was
leaning out of a fifth story window
to see what was going on below, sud
denly fell forward, the window bar
having broken, and was instantly killed
on the pavement. The horse was still
running madly on. Two policemen
rushed forward to stop him. One of
them fell, kicked by the horse; the
other was knocked down by the car
riage. Turning suddenly into the Rue
Cammartin, the animal dashed against
one of the great wagons of the Bon
Marche, and in the collision tore off
Il wheel of the fiacre. A little further
on he upset another large goods wagon,
and Immediately after broke the shafts

horse was finally stopped by two men.

CRISP DECLINES.

Speaker Crisp has strain of mar
tyr blood in his veins. Offered seat
in the senate, he clings to the speakers
chair with all its tasks and tortures,
says an exchange. There have been
over thirty occupants of that chair be-
fore Mr.. Crisp's day, the first of spec
isl prominence being Henry Clay, and
the last James g. Blaine. several of
whom were subsequently, promoted to
the senate, and all of whom, it Is be-
lieved, aspired to the senate.
No douot Mr.. Crisp feels the same
way, but it would never do to leave
the Democratic sheep of the house
flock to the tender mercies of that ter
r1ble wolf, Tom Reed. 1t is just all
Crisp himself can do to keep from be-
ing turned into mutton, and with any
other speaker in the chair Thomas
would have things pretty much his
own way.
It is hard to be compelled to put
aside the senatorial toga. One would
suppose that in all that large assort-
ment of Democrats, drawn from all
parts of the country, there would be
more than one man equal to the lead
ership of the majority. But the posi-
tion is doubly exactlng. To WELD
the gavel skillfully is no small task,
but on occasions the speaker comes
down on the floor of the house to take
part In the debate. To be lesderless
in both respects would be calamitous.
Perhaps Governor Northern will
take pity upon the speaker, and ap-
point to the vacancy some forceless
citizen who would not be formidable
candidate for election at the hands of
the legislature. However all this may
be, the next edition of "Fox's Book of
Martyrs" should contain the names of
Crisp, of Georgia.
