LAW OF PRECEDENCE.
New Duchess of Marlborough VIII
Only Have Nine Ahead of Her.

Only Have Nine Ahead of Her.
! One of the benefits which Miss Cunsuelo
Vanderbilt acquired by becoming Duchess
OF Marlborough was the inestimable privi-
ege of knowing exactly who is entitled
to going to dinner before her. BY be-
coming Duchess of Marlborough she comes
into certain legal privileges of demanding
her rights not to be last at the dinner table
or in any other function of civilized society
in the United Kingdom.
When these laws of precedence were first
passed it was a matter OF some vital i'm
portance for any one with a healthy appe-
tite to know exactly how they stood in re-
gard to getting the first, second third. or
twentieth cut of vension. The man or
woman of the highest social standing got
there first, and the others followed in order
due, until. when it got down to the tail end
of the procession, the Worcestershire sauce
had all been used up, the trufflcs and mush
rooms had all disappeared, and the poor
devils had to take what the great people
had left.
Times, of course, have changed, and even
at a fashiona BILE afternoon tea in London in
these weak, piping days of the waning
century, even the last arrival is able TO get
at least a biscuit and a glass of reasonably
strong tea punch. Still, 1t is sunething TO
know that one has the absolute. indsputa-
bic right TO go into the dining-room before
another person, especially IL he or she
Enows that there is going to be something
for dinner which lie ur she especially likes
So, also, in going through a doorway. 1t
must be rather pleasing to any man or
woman with human vanity To know that he
or she has absolute legal right to make
other persons stand aside and follow
through the doorway afterward. Or, more
grand and august still, think of the peace
that comes with the knowledge that one has
the absolute right, and can enforce il by la W.
u enter the presence of his or her dread
sovereign before another person, especially
if one particularly detests the other person
Miss Vanderbilt, by becoming Duchess of
Marlborough, has acquired all these rights
and prerogatives. There are only nine
Duchesses in the United Kingdom that are
allowed by law to go to the dinner table
before she does, to go through a doorway
before she does, 10 precede her in any state
or official function, ard she can take proce-
dence close after the royal family and be
fore her stepmotheT-.n-law Lady Beresford;
her mother-in-law, the Marchioness of
Blandford, and her aunt by marriage Lady
Randolph Churchill; also, she will have
precedence over her aunt's sister-in-law,
the Duchess of Manchester.

PAPER Socks.

The day Of the paper collar passed
away some years ago, and, though pa
per is used to-day in many more forms
than were ever dreamed Of few dec
AIDES back, this cheap article Of haber-
dashery has almost disappeared from
the market. But there Is promise that
II will have. worthy successor in the
paper sock, which is the latest novelty
to be ground out of the pulp mill. The
mechanism has been perfected to paper
warn Of such consistency that it Is ca
pable of being woven into fabrics soft
enough for wear. A special merit Is
the cheapness Of this newly devised
material, socks being produced at re-
tail price Of about cents a pair. At
this rate there is no reason why the
whole world may not be supplied with
foot coverings. At 3 cents pair the
bachelors life will become gladstone
and happy. 1t is said that substances
can be used in the preparation Of this
material to make the socks so imper-
yious tc water that they can stand sew
eral washings before falling apart.

simple enough. When we laid out
the town fifteen years ago we made 1t
a corporation that could carry on it's
own business. In this way the town
in the disposal Of lots sold only every
other lot, SO that now it owns halr the
ground it occupies. These lots it gave
long leases on at figures which enabled
lessees to build good houses on Tor
business and dwelling, and on condi-'
lions quite as favorable, if not more so,
than those had who bought outright
We had the country around us, goo0
in agriculture, mineral, water and
transportation to insure town, and
when it was once started 1t went
ahead, until now we nave between
5000 and 1000 people, and our ground
rents pay all our expenses and practi-
eally leave nc city tax. Then we have
some other sources of revenue from the
money the corporation put into manu-
featuring plants and mines, and on
the whole we are in clover as COM
munity."

porter, ''give fellow chance. Tell
me the name Of the place and let me go
there, too"
But the visitor was close-mouthe0

fed. even the hotel register conveying
no information that was Of any value.

Cowardice of a Large Eagle.

The claim of the eagle to the title Of
king of birds seems to be slightly
clouded by an incident reported from
Stafford County, Virginia. A gentle
man down there was watching an I'M
usually fine bald eagle grandly sailing
around in the air few days ago, when
he noticed a little bee martin rise in
the air and make straight for the eagle.
He wondered what the martins object
could be, and was surprised to see it
sail in boldly to tear the feathers out
of the big eagle. But he was amazed to
see the eagle, after few moments of
effort at beating off the little bird, sail
away in full fight, making every effort
to escape from the martin. The mar
tin followed up closely for awhile,
making a savage jab at the eagle every
few yards, but was finally left behind
through the superior retreating pow
ers Of the big eagle.

There was no fashion-no great
world, you know, to consult among
the fishermen of Sandcombe, and SO
the bride did not run away the mo-
ment she had changed her dress.
Nelly's, though it was pretty, and
becoming, and suitable as could be,
was too fine to allow her to assist in
the hospitable entertainment Of her
friends. Such feast was spread as
good taste and kindly feeling, though
with but humble means, could com
mand, and to these simple, hearty
people it was feast indeed.
Then there was. more music,
and races were run by the
Young men; and there was some
good singing among the girls, and
dancing on the smooth level, where
they played bowls and cricket. Then
an extensive and hospitable tea, and
story telling-more singing and music
and dancing, till the sun went down
into the sea, and the moon and stars
looked out overhead.
Then good nights were hidden, and
good wishes passed. And, left at
length alone the young husband and
wife, for the first time, closed their
doors upon all the outer world, to
shut in all themselves their own world
Of home.

HEAVEN is BEAUTIFUL.

One of Gods aged saints was drawing
near the end of her earthly pilgrimage
Her suiferings were great, yet she did not
complain. She lay passive in the hands of
her Heavenly Father, swcetly submissive
to His will. The last distressed turn at
length came. Taking her daughter by the
hand, and giving her Il farewell kiss, she
opened her eyes wide, and looking up, said:
"lleaven is BEAUTIFUL and Immediately
she was within the gates. AS in the case
Of stephen, the heavens seemed to be
opened to her view, and she seemed to have
glimpse of the wonderful glory before she
had passed within the veil
How transCendently beautiful heaven is
none but those who have been favored with
the actual vision can fully known. We
mortals, who are yet in the flesh, can have
but faint conception. Earth in its ruins,
sincursed as it is beautiful. Much of love-
liness has survived the fall Paradise be
fore sin entered, must have been Il charm
ing abode. But the heaven of heavens,
where dwelletl the Most High must exceed
all our highest imagnings The great
Father OF all is GLORIOUS in holiness. . The
Son is the express image of His person
The angels are all holy angels, and the
beauty of the Lord is upon all the saints.
The choicest things Of earth are employed
to set forth the external splendor of the
celestial city. Its gates are represented as
being of pearl, its walls of jasper, its foun-
dations OF all manner of precious stones,
and its streets of pure gold, as it were tran
sparent glass "And the city hath 10 need
OF the sum- neither of the moon to shine in
it; for the glory of God doth tighten it, and
the Lamb is the light thereof" And
through it flows a pure river of water of
life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the
throne OF God and of the Lamb" The
heavenly Zion is the perfection Of beauty"
Its glorious Builder and Maker has formed
it dwelling-place fit for His own abode
No wonder that as the believer contem-
plates it, and gains some faint conceptions
OF its excellence, he breaks forth in song,
and sings;
Il love to think OF the heavenly land,
That promised land SO fair.
oh, now my raptured spirit longs
To be for ever there.n

HOW SPOOLS ARE MADE.
Details of the Way in Which They Are
Turned Out.

Considering that there are millions of
people who used thread more or less, it is
apparent that the making of spools upon
which it is wound must be of itself quite
an industry. These are made of hard wood,
birch being preferred and generally used
The material is first sawed into sticks
four or five feet long, and seven-eighths of
an inch to three inches square, according to
the size OF the spool to be produced These
sticks are thoroughly seasoned, then cut
into short blocks and dried in a hot-air
kiln. At the time they are being cut by
the saw, holes are bored perpendicularly
through each block, which is set on end
under rapidly-revolving long shanked
auger.
Next one whirl Of each little block
against some little knives that are turning
at Lightning speed, fashion it into spool
according to the pattern desired, and that,
too, at the rate of one second for each set
of knives. A row of small boys feed the
spoolma'iing machines by simply placing
the blocks in spout, selecting the best,
and throwing out the knotty and defective
stock
The machine is automatic, bat there are
some things which it cannot do, hence the
employment of the small boys above men
toned.
After the spools are turned they are
placed in large drum and revolved rapidly
until they have taken ona fine polish. For
some special purposes, they are died yellow,
black or red, according to taste. When
one sees a spool of thread marked 5000" or
300 yards it does not signify that the
thread has been measured, but that the
spool has been guaged, and is supposed to
contain that amount of thread.
