The Famous Race Course of Paris.

Longchamps is charming spot The
surrounding landscape seen from the grand
stand with the Boulogne wood and the
green and picturesque slopes of Bellevue,
made the paddock and field of Longchamps
amost elegant rendezvous. The Mount Va
lerian and the Roman hill and the undu-
lous zigzags of the River Seine complete q
marvellous picture. On payment of four
dollar admission fee anybody can roam
about in what formerly might have been
termed sacred precincts" Workmen in
their Sunday garments, employees from
the banks and the BOurse, women of all
classes and categories, touts and school
boys all risk their weekly earnings, and
sometimes more.
Formerly the demimondaines could not
gain .admittance to the paddock; their
friends were obliged to cross the track and
stand by, or take seat in their carriages,
before the slightest proposgrivois Qoose
talk could be INDUCED in. But now how
great the change Longchamps has lost
its aristocratic bearing Society still con-
tinues going to the races, the crowd fol-
lows. The sight in the paddock on any
important race day, be it during thespring,
summer or autumn meeting, is neverthe-
less worth seeing.
There are the representatives of society
and the most elegant of women in the most
expensive and extravagant Of costumes.
There are English lords and foreign"
counts, duchesses and marquises, barons
by birth and barons of finance, aristocrats
of fortune and aristocrats of talent-Bo-
hemia, and all that doubtful crowd of peo-
pie who take part in everything that is
grand" but whose mode of existence
would be problem to Balzac or lola.

In the spring of III an amount of snow
fell in New England that has not been
equaled during the three centuries of its
history. The great storm began in Febru-
ary, and buried the earth to the depth Of
ten to twenty feet. Cattle were buried in
it, and were found frozen stiff under the
drifts, and hundreds of sheep perished.
Wild animals grew 80 desperate from the
cravings of hunger that they became
nightly visitors to the farmers sheep pens.
Bears and wolves followed the deer even
into the settlers clearings, and pounced
upon them there, killing them at such a
rate that deer reeves were afterward chosen
in every town to protect those valuable
animals.
Many one story house was entirely COW
cred with snow, and even the chimneys in
some instances could not be seen. Tun-
nels led from house to house, and snow
shoes were in frequent requisition.
Stepping out Of the chamber window
some people ventured to explore the fields
Of snow. One young man in Newbury,
Mass, was paying his addresses to lady
who lived three miles away, and had not
seen her for n week after the storm. This
state of things could no longer be endured,
and mounting his snowshoes he went over
the hills, to enter her house, as he had left
his own by way of chamber window. As
he was the first person the family had seen
since the storm, his. visit was highly ap-
preciated. Youths Companion.

Water in q Crystal.

The proprietor of The Statesman has in
his possession q rounded crystal of chalce-
dony three inches long, Of an oval form,
white and translucent. 1t is but thin
shell, and when held to the light is seen to
be nearly filled with water, which flows
about as the object is turned this way and
that. What makes it interesting is that
the water has undoubtedly been inclosed
and Theoretically sealed in this natural re-
ceptacle for thousands and thousands of
years. Probably it was there long before
Moses was born, and yet not drop of it
has evaporated.
Originally there was cavity in the rock
formed by volcanic bubble. Water per-
colated into it, bringing in solution silex,
which was deposited on the walls of a little
hollow in coating Of chalcedony. In time
it would have been filled solid with beau
tiful crystals forming these ''geodes," as
they are called, which are natures treas
ure caskets found concealed in rocky for
nations where least expected, and reveal
ing wonders of brilliant color.
Agates are made in the same fashion.
However, in this instance the small chan
mel by which the water flowed In and out
became closed up in some way, and so the
process stopped After lapse of no one
can tell how many centuries the stony
mass containing the chalcedony chamber
with its liquid contents was broken open
and it fell out.-Walla Walla Statesman.

The Care of Newspapers.

"Many people regard newspapers as
property of other people good deal as they
look upon umbrellas" said woman re-
Gently. "That they should be looked after
and returned to their owners does not seem
to be necessary or even permissible. One
summer at boarding house in the mogJl-
tains | received by mail from friend a
foreign newspaper, with the request that
return it when read. Before doing so I
handed it to fellow boarder-a man-as
something of general interest. He did not
return it, and after some hesitation the
day before left asked for it. oh, he
replied carelessly, did you expect me to
return the paperr suppose it has been
thrown away. lean look for it, but don't
suppose it has been kept
1--WE were standing near the door of his
room at the moment, but he did not offer
TO look for it there, and / was obliged to
content myself with the request that he
would do so at his convenience. He never
alluded to the matter again, however, and
left the next day. | apologized to my
friend, and sent abroad for another paper,
which came in due time. 1t was careless
of me perhaps not to have requested the
return Of the paper at the time l offered
it; still, foreign paper with a marked
article, think, carried on its face recog-
ni2able value which, if disregarded, de-
manded an apology for the neglect. "-Her

The Shorter Novel,

The Century acknowledges form of
literary art not hitherto recognized by our
great monthlies, by printing tiny sketch,
etching" "psstel"-whateve one may
choose 70 call it-by Miss Mary f, wilkins.
This departure has moved number of
critics to point out that when the novel
dwindles from the three volumes Of the
past generation to three stickfuls-to re-
vert to the vocabulary of the composing
room--its end must be near. On the con-
trary, it is sign that fiction in this coun-
try is taking new lease of life; that we
have boldly cut loose from English tradi-
tions, and are going to adopt continental
ones or better. still, get on without any
traditions at all.
The conte, a brief sketch of single in
cident or impression, has long held an
honorable place in French letters. 1t cor
responds in some respects to the studies u
master makes for great picture. 1t has
opportunities for perfection Of detail inn
possible in an extended story where one
incident must serve another, and the
writing and reading of such careful liter
ary studies will develop in our fiction a
technique which it has hitherto sorely
lacked. Kate Fields Washington.

Mrs. \. Is N receipt OF Mr.. B. > note OF
the 10Th, and she regrets she Is unable to
give him the information desired" 1t is
inelegant 30 begin any letter Friend, etc,
although adopted by many well educated
people The Dear" etc, In such case
should be used.
More mistakes, however, are made in
signatures, and here would also suggest
few simple rules. Never sign your name
with prefix of any kind. The reason is
obvious. If you sign your letter, "Yours
truly, Miss Mary Smith" for example, you
make use of title, the "Miss" having
nothing whatever to do with your name,
which is your signature. Therefore eti-
quette requires you should sign as, for ex-
ample, "Yours truly, Mary Smith" In the
event of writing to any firm or person who
would in return need to know how to ad-
dress you, put "AIrs" or Miss in brack-
cts a little distance to the left Of the sigma
ture. In addressing gentleman on busi-
ness in purely formal manner write thus:
Charles ]. Brown, Esq Dear sir" And
in such case always sign, "Yours respect
fully" etc tc-Harper's Young People.

A Good idea in weddipg pre.ent..

AT fashionable silversmith's the other
day says a woman while hesitating be
tween bonbon spoon and pair of forks,
my attention was attracted To man ut
my elbow, who, finishing purchase, gave
the name Of the same bride elect as the one
Tor whom was choosing wedding gift.
De was evidently friend Of the groom, for
he directed his spoon to the bride, care Of
the groom, and gave the latter's house adj
dress This, it appears, is a new wrinkle
Of fashion frequently carried out nova
days The innovation struck me as having
II foundation in reason Undoubtedly many
unacknowledged wedding gifts are such,
from the TACT that the bride receives no i'm
preston from the strange names accom-
panying them II the card becomes sepa-
rated from the gift, as easily and often
happens, there is no recognizable record
ieftof Jhe donor.
As this latter cannot inquire why his
present remains unnoticed. there is no
chance of the matter being explained. 1t
has been my misfortune i'll two cases to
send gifts to strange brides from which |
have never heard. Had sent them to her
in the care Of the groom, he at least would
have known of the intended honor to his
wedding day. New York Times.

Treatment for Nervousness.

Extravagant as nervous people may ven
ture to be in the enjoyment Of fresh air,
they should be more careful against en-
cessiye applications of water They should
always remember that man is not water
animal but an air animal. If in anything,
close adaptation of the treatment by the
physician to the individual is particularly
necessary in respect to the treatment of
nervous patients with water. BY the abuse
of water in nervous diseases that most
sovereign of all remedies has, after short
period of popularity come into discredit.
1t is certain that too discriminate ap-
plication Of water is double poison to
nervous patients. 1t is OH the other side,
incontestable that water applications in
the right measure, and in manner adapt
ed to the character of the affection, are ex.
cellent. Equally advantageous for them are
going barefooted when properly prescribed,
and the air bath.-Dr. Bilsinger in Pop
ular Science Monthly.

Tennyron,s beautiful End.

This view of the laureate is from the pen
of the physician, DR.. Dabbs, who was pres
ent at his death: "on the bed a figure of
breathing marble, flooded and bathed in
the light Of the full moon streaming
through the oriel window; his hand clasp
ing the Shakespeare which he had asked
for but recently, and which he had kept 10y
him TO the end the moonlight; the ma
Jestic figure, as he lay there drawing
thicker breath, irresistibly brought to our
minds his own Passing of King Arthur
His last conscious words were words of
love addressed to wife and son-words too
sacred to be written here. New York

The Mosquito in Winter.

'Those who are unfamiliar with the
habits of the mosquito" said resident Of
New Jersey, "might suppose that, like the
migratory birds, he would go south as
the autumn waned in search of warmer
cline, but as those who live in districts
which the mosquito affects very well
know, such is not the case. Indeed the
the mosquito stands the cold extraor-
dinarily well for one so slightly built, and
when the weather gets TO be too cold for
him he comes inside, where he can keep
warm, for he is intelligent us well as
hardy. Some years he stays until Christ
mas time; sometimes he goes away earlier"

Far be it from me to discourage true
economy; it is only the base imitation
which is TO be avoided. Buying socks at
twenty-five cents pair and throwing
them away instead of having them washed
or mended passes for economy among a
certain set of impecunious young men. 1t
is needless to comment upon the folly of
this kind of saving; yet it corresponds to
many other similar acts known as econ
omy to the unthrifty. Chicago Post.
