poor boy, which was no dishonor, but

made fortune. / am afraid to say how
much, but it must be up in the hundred
thousands. Ten years ago he was still
struggling to make n living for himself
and his parents, and very often il was
hard enough. And thereby hangs my
tale.
Every one knows how difficult IL was
for business men to keep heads above

The brass and bronze trade is kept
alive by the religious customs of the
Hindoos, who are not allowed to use
wooden and earthenware vessels freely.
and brass and bronze are to them as inn
portant as glass and china to the west
erners. Almost all Hindoo utensils are
of brass, copper or bronze, and it is the
custom to present the female portion of
a Hindoo family with valuable bat
terie dc cuisine, made either of brass or
copper, and still existing Hindoo GER
emony is that of carrying the utensils in
q procession at tho wedding. The result
of this custom> is that almost all the
platters, trays, bowls, nut crackers and
all brass and copper utensils are most
beautifully ornamented, and there are
lovely combinations of brass and copper
and silver and copper. All Hindoo wo-
men used to have lovely brass caskets
covered with ornamentations called chel-
lams, manufactured in Malabar, in
which they kept their jewels, but these
are fast being replaced by the vulgar
English japanned dispatch box. At Siv-

That old MOTTO "Where there is o

tie out of fashion, perhaps, and somo-
what exaggerated, as is the case with
mothers in general, is still expressive Of
a truth.
Writing of old times at White Sui
phur springs, General Maury says there
were many complaints of the fare at the
hotel. The dignified proprietor used to
console his guests by remarking that
they really paid nothing for their din
sners, but only for the wonderful sulphur
water which he had discovered.

when the crowd was great and the serv-

Love Laughs at Doctors.

A young man wanted to marry girl,
but her rich parents forbade the match.
The young man thereupon became sick
and had terrible fainting fits. The doc
tors were called and said he would soon
die and he said he wanted to die. The
father Of the girl visited the patient,
and the poor fellow said that if he could
marry his Mary Ann he would die
happy. His dying request could certain
ly not be refused, and, Mary Ann hav-
ing no objection, the minister was sent
for, and the marriage ceremony was
performed. The knot being securely
tied, the patient rose from his bed o
hale man.
1t was great cure, astonishing both
the cruel parents and the doctors, but
the bride acted as though she had ex-
pected it all the time. London Tit Bits.

Well Done.

One of the most unique specimens o
the courting crisis on record occurred ut
London dinner party. He had long
made love to her. and while at the table
he learned from q friend sitting next to
him that his rival intended to pop the
question" that very day. What was tc

her, while the dreaded rival was at her
side. Tearing leaf from notebook, he
wrote on it with a pencil: "Will you be
my wife? Write your answer, yes or no,
on this paper and return it to me. :"
This he sent to her by waiter, saying:
''To the lady in blue at the end of the
table. Be very careful" This servant
was careful enough, but the sender for
got to give him the pencil for the lady
to use. She didn't have pencil, but
she coolly put the note into her bosom
and answered to the waiter, "Tell the
gentleman yes" with as little betrayal
of excitement as il she were accepting
an invitation to game Of croquet. -

discovery. He has found that by rub

cannot be removed by washing, no mat

dons can be suggested for aluminium in
this direction. 1t can be used instead Of
the engraver's tool in cutting designs
on glass. With the aluminium pencil
diamonds can be distinguished from i'm
itation, since it will make no mark on a
diamond. 1t is possible that the new
discovery may make q great difference

FAMOUS ARCHERS.
Stories of wonderful Skill with Bow and
Arrow.

Arrow.
The expression "drawing long bow"
does not of necessity mean the telling
of falsehood. 1t sometimes refers to
wonderful story, which may be true
enough, but which is so marvellous as
to require firm trust in the veracity
Of the narrator to enable the hearer to
believe it, Some Of the longest bows of
this sort have been drawn about bows
and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Virgil,
In the "Enoid," tells of four archers
who were shooting FOR prize, the mark
being pigeon tied by cord to the
mast of ship. The first man hit the
mast, the second cut the cord, and the
third shot the pigeon as it flew away.
The fourth archer, having nothing left
to shoot, drew his bow and sent his ar
row flying toward the sky with such
speed that the friction Of the air set the
feathers ON fire, and IL swept on, like a
meteor, to disappear in the clouds.
The stories told of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
performance as Locksley in Scott's
"Ivanhoe," are also decided strain
upon a sensible persons credulity. The
famous story of William Tell, doubted
by many persons, is believed by others
to have foundation of fact There was
Dane named Foko Of whom the same
story is told, and William of Cloudes-
ley, an Englishman, is said TO have shot
an apple from his sons head merely TO
show his eXpertness.
Most stories of bows and arrows re
late to the accurate aim of the archers,
but Frenchman, Blaiso de Vigenere,
tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be pro-
PEELED if the bow be strong and long
enough. According TO his own account
of the matter, he saw Barbarossa, a
Turk, admiral of ship called the
Grand Solyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through cannon ball. -

ETHICS OE ThE REGISTER.
What Hotel People Have TO Say About IT,
ties and Degrees,

ties and Degrees.
For q man to take n lady to dine at n
hotel and register as "NIr. so and.so and
lady" is considered the height of igno-
rance by hotel clerks. The proper way is
to register both names, or II the man is
sensitive, to write "Mr. So-and-so and
one" This is sometimes done, but not
very often. To use land lady" is bad
form in this generation, when IL comes
TO hotel registers for obvious reasons.
But this is not the only evidence of bad
form which is seen on the register.
When man pens Mr.. before his name
he is judged as being egotistical, and no
professional man will put DIR. or Prof.
before his name il he desires to avoid
the clerks anathemas
Many city people exhibit their igno-
rance of good breeding by going to a To-
cal hotel and giving the number and
street of their residence. A notable in
stance Of this is well known jeweler,
who, when ho puts his name on regis
ter, which is frequent, invariably puts
his business address after it. To put
Hon., Gen, Capt. or any other title be-
fore n mans name on hotel register is
as bad as Prof or DIR. i'm fact, il is
looked upon as worse by all good hotel
men.
The only exception TO the above is in
case of theatrical people, who put the
name of their company after their
names. All professional stage people get
reduced rates at hostelries in nearly ev-
cry instance, and for them TO put the
names of their troops on the book is a
good thing for the hotel people. 1t goes
to show that the person thus registering
is not afraid of being questioned as TO
his connection with company and is
not trying to get lower rates in a sur
reptitious manner. 1t is also in the case
of theatrical people that there may be a
permissible violation of the rules in re-
gard to putting Mr. before the name
Many stars do not register, but allow
some one else to do it for them, general
ly the manager. In order to show all
possible Difference to his proteges, the
manager generally puts Mr.. before the
names Of the men. In the cases of ladies
it is invariably proper for them to put
Miss or Mrs, as the case may be, in
front of their names New York Dis

New Use For n Parrot.

The talents of parrots have, we read,
just been turned in new direction by
the authorities Of q French town. It has
hitherto been the habit to moro or less
litter away the intellectual force of par
rots by merely teaching them to say
naughty or witty things or to use such
expressions as Pretty Poll" or "Poor
fellow" The municipal authorities of
the town referred to have, perhaps the
future will prove, opened up wider
field Of action for the parrot. The poor
box at the town hall, it seems, had for
a long time past been in condition Of
chronic emptiness, which did not reflect
much credit on the charitable feelings
of the inhabitants. To remind them of
their duty toward their poorer neigh.
bors parrot was purchased, which has
been installed close to the box and
trained to cry, "For the poor if you
please" 1t appears that the result Of
the innovation has been highly satisfac-
tory, pence and silver coins having been
freely given in response TO the bird IS
appeal. The idea, as is remarked, is
capable of being applied in a variety of
ways. To denote to the passerby that he
is in the proximity of wet paint on any
