Stevenson and Carlyle.

Robert Louis Stevenson used to tell
this story of his early days: He was en-
tering in an absentminded way the ia
nous secondhand bookshop of James
Stillie when he ran into Tuning old
gentleman who was leaving the estab-
lishment. The latter calculated in all
angry tone, "Man, can you not look
where you are going!" Stevenson apollo
gized for his awkwardness and was
then confronted by Mr.. Stillie, who was
also excited. The bookseller exclaimed:
''The creature has been trying to make
out that an old book I sold him is spu-
rious! He may be able to write, but he
knows nothing about black letter books
He's the most disagreeable customer
that ever entered my shopl" "Who is
he?" asked Stevenson. ooh, that's the
great Mr.. Thomas Carlyle" was the

Glass Windows.

Glass windows are known to have ex-
listed at Pompeii as early as A. d. 70.
In the third century the windows Of
royal houses throughout Europe were
glazed. Windows of colored glass were
placed in many Italian and French
churches in GA. and the use of glass
became general in private houses dur
ing the twelfth century. The panes,
however, were only or inches square,
and the material was SO inferior that
while room was lighted it was often
o matter of some difficulty to discern
objects on the outside through the glass.
For long time windows in England
were subject of taxation.

A VALENTINE TABLE.
Mrs. r. Wheaton Seabury Wins the
N. Y. Herald's Prize.

The New York Herald recently offered o
prize OF S25 for the best design for st.
Valentines day dinner table and from
large list Of dainty designs submitted by
ladies all over the country The Herald has
declared the prize winner to be Mrs. +.
Wheaton Seabury of Providence, the wife
OF "young" Doctor Sesbury, junior part
ner OF the dentists firm OF +. n. q +. W..
Seabury.
Mrs. Seabury's design is made on table
seven feet by four and half. The cloth
is white satin damask and the centerpiece
o diamond shaped, plate glass mirror, Is
inches long by IA wide. Hearts fit about
this outlined as solidly as possible in
red carnations. Within the hearts stand
five brsnched silver candlebra, with rcd
candle shades. Three small heart-shaped
cut glass dishes filed with heart-shaped
chocolates, peppermints and wintergreens
and one with salted almonds, are placed
near the candelabra.
At the corner of the table are fiat
looped bows of satin ribbon, five inches
wide, with long ends reaching to the bot
tom of the table cloth. On each bow Is
placed slender cut glass vase, Is inches
high, with IL American beauty roses ar
ranged carelessly. The ribbon should
match the roses. From the chandelier
four ribbon streamers, four inches wide,
OF the same shade, are suspended and
fastened, one to q rose in each vase. In
the center carrier dove IL hung, with
small white envelope attached to its neck
by silver cord.
At each cover are four forks, four
spoons, two knives and five glasses, for

throughout the State with q request that
he should make q personal call upon
each representative in the Legislature
from his district, and request
them to support the medical bill. Circu-
lars were also sent to each member OF the
Legislature requesting them, in the name
OF the whole profession, to state their
views upon medical legislation. III
they were favorably inclined toward
the enactment OF such legislation
they were promised the support OF
the profession; IL, on the con-
trary, they were opposed to such legisla-
tion 1t was stated, in good plain English,
that each and every Individual member
OF the profession would get at least ten
friends to vote against such
member and otherwise endeavor
to prevent his reelection.
We are watching the outcome OF this
work in Ohio with the greatest interest.
The above plan at once suggests Itself
most forcibly as the only way TO make an
impression upon our representatives In
the General Assembly. Sooner or later, II
we ever expect to obtain any legislation
of this kind, we shall have To adopt
these met hods and make.our votes felt
and our voices heard in che Legislative
halls at the State House. The member
ship OF the r. /. Medical Society is now
237; OF the Homeopathic Medical Society
about 40; of the Providence Medical As
sociation over 100 and then there are many
worthy practitioners who have not identi-
fled themselves with any medical societies
and II we put the figures low, and say that
400 physicians at least are interested In
having medical laws enacted; that each OF
these 400 practitioners are able to get III
friends at least to vote with them
upon a matter of this kind, and we have
at once 1000 votes, which, IL thrown
in one direction, and particularly In those
towns where they are most needed, we
could very soon obtain hearing, and
legislation which is now sorely needed in
many matters pertaining to health.
We cannot expect members OF the Gen.
eral Assembly, who themselves have very
vague ideas of medical science and its
wonderful progress, to listen to and act
upon arguments which seem to US clear
enough.
Most OF them are good, all around sem
sible men, and extremely practical, so
much SO that quack who seems to con-
troll some votes has more influence with
them than the physician who considers IT
beneath his dignity to meddle with po-
litical affairs. Were all our legislators
Of high order, intellectually, their
opinions could not possibly be swerved
by the despisable chaff they are treated to
by yanti-vaccination cranks, SO called can
Ger specialists, faith healers, and all the
rest of those shysters and idle pretenders.
And please do not forget that votes and
political influence have moro influence
with most members OF the Legislature
than all the fine arguments and learned
discussion we can bring out"

A Tourist Hat.

One of the needs Of the present season
is tourist hat that can be used for va
rious purposes, something not too elabo-
rate for railway travelling, but yet smart
enough to wear abou; the exposition
grounds and for the thousand and one
little occasions incident to the summers
occupation of sightseeing. There are
chips and basket braids that are partic.
ularly desirable for this purpose, also
open work braids that may be made up
over lace frames lined with plain or
figured lace and trimmed with soft silk
or knots of ribbon and wings, As a
trim, useful, year-in-and-year-out deco
ration for hat there is nothing equal to
the pretty little wings that are brought
out in such variety. Dampness and dust
seem to have no effect on them, and they
are always stylish as well as convenient.
