Chocolate for Dinner Invitations, Brown
for Rejected Lovers.
In Europe, and especially in France,
there is among fashionable people a
species of code in the use Of sealing
wax The white article is used for
communications relating to weddings,
black for mourning correspondence,
violet for expressions Of sympathy,
chocolate for invitations to dinner. red
for business letters. ruby for the billets-
doux of engaged lovers, green for
lovers not yet affianced and brown for
refusals of offers of marriage.
Blue symbolizes constancy. yellow

reproaches-
Schoolgirls seal their letters with
pink wax, and intimate friends use

The use of sealing wax is exceeding

the reign Of King Louis Kill of
Err nee that it became the fashion
among the higher classes of Europe.
The Oldest known recipe for making
sealing wax was published in Augs-
burg in 1879, and prescribed almost the
same ingredients as those now en-
ployed-
The use Of blue wax was formerly
restricted to royalty, a superfiuous
provision owing to the difficulty Of inn

the reason that vegetable dyes when

These Large Lizards Make Regular

''In South America, - said traveller
recently. snakes are very numerous.
Perhaps the most notable of these
snake killers is the large lizard known
as the iguana. The iguana is no mean
adversary, as may be judged from the
fact that dogs which attack one often
come off with broken l.g. The liz
ard does not wait for the snake to
take the offensive, but goes swiftly in
pursuit, and being very rapid in its
motions rarely has any difficulty in
overtaking its victim, which it is

"A big iguana lay in the sun appar-

attention on the twenty feet of lasso

succession of violent blows with its

While the late Lord Coleridge was
at Oxford, it was his duty as a fellow
to read the lessons in chapel and one
day he read, by mistake, the second
lesson where he should have read the
first. To conclude it in the orthodox
way was hardly correct, as it was not
the second lesson, but the first; nor
could it well be described as the first
lesson, as properly it was the second

with the appropriate word: Here

Southwestern Connecticut Growing.

 NorWalk's coming industrial plum in the shape of a big new plant of the Standard Oil Co.,, which is to cost sev- eral hundred thousand dollars and be distributing center for New England, has its suggestion of the swift growth of the southwest corner of the state. Look at Stamford, with 15,70O popula- ton in 1890 and only 7,1s5 in 1860; Green wich 1O,191 as compared with 6,552, Nor walk with 17,747 as compared with 6,5S2 and hustling Bridgeport with 4S, ,S66 and only 13,299 thirty years before. In these thirty years Fairfield county has all but doubled, far surpassing in rate of growth any county except New Ha- ven, four-fifths of whose increment is made up of the increase of the three cities of New Haven, Waterbury and Meriden. In an industrial and com mercial sense southwest Connecticut has been aptly termed the back gar den" of New York, and as the metrop- olis reaches out the country is now reaping a fat harvest of enterprise which, ere many decades, I presume, will make her the leading county of the state. The contrast is strikingly shown by comparison with eastern Connecticut, which, with good harbors like those of New London and Stoning- ton and excellent railroad connections too, has yet remained relatively stag nant.-Stamford City Record.
