Shepherd's Crook.

There was look of thought upon her
face as she came down Broadway, but it
was soon apparent that the thought did
not concern itself with the present, for
she started into tobacconist's when she
meant to go to the florists, next door, and
she offered policeman who helped her
over crossing her hand and bowed icily
to an acquaintance whom she meant to
greet cordially. Then she went into a
store and began looking at silks.

and gold, she announced.

Wanted. a Curate.

The rector Of hundred years ago had
somewhat peculiar ideas as to the qualia-
cations of curate, if one may Judge from
tho following curious advertisement, which
appeared in The st. James Chronicle Of
May 4, 1896:
"Wanted Immediately, good, strong,
bony man to act in the capacity Of curate.
He must be subject to the following par
ticulars-viz, to have no objection to act
as gardener, husbandman and occasional
whipper in. Any gent, whom the above
may suit, on application to Mr.. b., at the
Gray's Inn COTE, House, Holborn, may
meet with immediate employ. N. B.
Character will not be SO much required as
equestrian skill, and none need apply who
has not undergone complete stabalarian

Frances Revolutionary Greatness.

1t is impossible to estimate the enor-
nous sums of money which Bonaparte ex>
acted for the conduct Of u war that he
chose to say was carried on to emancipate
italy. The soldiers of his army were well
dressed, well fed and we'll equipped from
the day Of their entry into Milan. The ar
rears Of their pay were not only settled,
but they were given license to prey on the
country until point was reached which
seemed to jeopardize success, when COM
mon pillage was promptly stopped by the
sevcrest examples. The treasury Of the d.
rectory was not filled as were those Of the
conquering officers, but it was no longet
empty. In short, France reached the apex
Of her revolutionary greatness, and as she
was now the foremost power on the CONT

Wind Bound.

An elderly gentleman, who had horror
Of the north wind, never went out of doors
SO long as it lasted. He had weathercock
erected in his garden in order to tell him
which way the wind blew. In due course
the north wind set in, and he at once shut
himself up. Every morning he looked out
at the weathercock, but no change had oc-
cured This state Of things went on for
month. At length he began to suspect that
something was wrong, and calling his man
servant the two resolved to examine the
weathercock. Judge Of their surprise when
they found it firmly fixed pointing to the

CHINESE CARVINGS.
Artistic Ornaments Cut Out of Nuts and
Tiny Fruit Stones.

Artistic Ornaments Cut Out of Nuts and
Tiny Fruit Stones.
The most curious objects which are
made subjects of the carver's art in China
are the various nuts and fruit stones.
Among the latter class may be named the
stones of the olive, plum, peach, cherry,
and of the former the most common are
made upon the shells Of walnuts and cocoa
nuts. These seeds and nuts are collected
with great care and carefully cleaned and
dried before being taken to the carver, who
has an invariable standard Of size, proper
ton, weight, hardness, etc. When every
detail has been carried out to the satisfac-
ton of the artist, nut or seed is selected
by the designer, who roughly traces upon
its surface an outline Of the future picture.
This Is handed over to apprentices, who
block out the design by cutting through
the ligenous tissue along the lines drawn.
The crude carving Is again passed to the
designer who sketches a second and more
intricate series of outlines, when it again
goes forward to tho subordinates, who cut
out the indicated channels. After this the
designer gives the object it's finishing
touches, and the assistants prepare 1t for
market by polishing, oiling and waxing
the carvings. These nut and fruit stone
carvings are shown in the shape of buttons,
watch charms, sleeve links earrings and
brooches Collections Of them strung on
silver, copper or gold wire are also used as
bracelets, anklets, necklaces, rosaries and
official ornaments
The carvings represented upon these seed
and nut ornaments are frequently OF q
very high order of conception and display
much of the carvcrs cleverness and dex-
terity. The writer has seen single cherry
seeds upon which were plainly and artis-
tically outlined a dragon, two crickets, a
cornaower and bunch Of grapes. On the
larger seeds and nuts are represented en-
tire trees and their fruits and leaves, vines
with leaves, flowers and vegetables attach.
cd, as well as buildings, bridges, towers,
temples and fences. Among the second
group, which are usually composed princi-
pally Of animal figures, tho horse, lion,
tiger, elephant, camel and bull are most
generally represented.-St. Louis Repub-

PAUL JONES' LOVE AFFAIRS.
He Once Had Roaring Filtration With
q French Countess.

He Once Had a Roaring Filtration With
q French Countess.
At this time tradition begins long list
of Paul Jones love affairs and gallantries
There Is no doubt that he was lion among
tho ladies and had roaring Irritation with
the Countess Lavendahl de Bourbon. She
was much younger than her husband, and
chroniclers note that she was more re-
nowned for wit than for discretion. She
painted Paul Jones portrait and wrote
verses under it. He SO far lost his head over
this lady that he wrote her most violent
love letters, inclosing locks OF his hair, and
asked her to take care of his sword on his
approaching voyage to America and to cor
respond with him in cipher.
The countess seemed to think at this
point that the affair had gone far enough,
and that it was time to throw cold water
ON her too ardent admirer. Paul Jones got
ont of his awkward predicament with as
much skill as he had escaped from Texel.
lilo assured the lady he was not in the
least in love with her-friendship and
friendship only, was all he meant, and she
had evidently misunderstood him-which
etfectually landed the lady in the awkward
predicament. He seems, however, never
to have lost her respect, for the correspond
encc was resumed in after years.
Then there was Nine. Thellison, q nat
ural daughter of Louis XIV, with whom
Paul Jones appears to have had love af-
fair of some sort. He had influence enough
to have her introduced to the king, who
promised to befriend her. Afterward Paul
Jones wrote Mr.. Jefferson, then minister
to France, recommending Nine. Thellison
to his friendly Offices He mentioned that
he had borrowed for her 1000 livres with
which to pay debt and had never found
out whether she had used tho money for
the purpose specified or not.
He was in tho midst of corrupt court
and although he may not have escaped un-
contaminated it is an admirable fact that
| among the l. 300 letters written by and to
him, now preserved, there is not one single
coarse expression and no woman's name
is mentioned except in terms of the high
est respect. This speaks well for the chiv-
airy of those eighteenth century gentle
men.-From paul JONES'" by Molly FL
lot Seawell, in Century.
