The Bird That wouldn't Sing.

Gabrielli once suffered" q IL
days imprisonment for a whimsical
refusal to sing in her usual first rate
style. It was the occasion Of state
dinner given by the viceroy at Pa
lermo. Gabrielle had been engaged
for the function, but as she did not
put in an appearance the dinner was
delayed and a messenger dispatched
to ascertain the cause of her absence.
The messenger was promptly in
formed that Gabrielle was in bed,
where she had become so absorbed
in favorite author that she had for
gotten the engagement. Resenting
the command for her appearance,
the lady began by singing her very
worst, and when the viceroy urged
her to be less foolish she refused te
sing at. all.

Suggested Unpleasant Reflections.

In France the general use of
mourning note paper dates back no
farther than the year 1880. True,
it existed under the first empire,
but only to a limited extent and
among the elite of society. The fol-
lowing incident will serve to illus
trate the change that has come over
the spirit of the dream. On the S1st
of March Napoleon I wrote from o.
terode, in Poland, to the Chancellor
Cambaceres a letter in which he re-
ferred to Junot, who had recently
suffered bereavement:
HE always writes to me on large
black bordered note paper, which
suggests unpleasant reflections every
time I receive a letter from him.
Give him to understand that this is
violation of good manners and the
respect due to superior who ought
to be spared this parade of ones pri.

Picture Frames.

Connoissours in the framing of
pictures like those frames best that
are designed after a model furnished
by we'll known architect. This
model has the outer edge very thin,
50 that it gives the impression Of be-
ing part of the wall behind it. The
thickness gradually increases toward
the center and then decreases to-
ward the canvas. The width and
thickness are regulated by the size
Of the picture, as is also the orna-
mentation, which many persons of
fine taste think should never be
heavy or in any way overshadow the
picture. Dark photographs of fig
ures or landscapes are often set off
to advantage by a narrow gold
frame, or by a gold mat, or if one
chooses the frame may be of oak
with gilt next to the picture and on
the outer edge Of the frame. En-
cravings usually look best with a
white mathew York Post. :

Of twenty three months, though obscure
in its manifestations, was one of the
most important In his life. 1t was the

Joseph Jefferson was playing Sheri-

Boston some time ago. His version
of the play has been arranged in
such way as to give Bob Acres
considerably more prominence per-

Of the other characters. William

asked, "How do you like Jefferson

1.-THE information which we are
expected to give is something aston

tendent Lowbey of the Charity Or
ganization society. People como in
and want to find out whether John
Smith or Thomas Brown has been
receiving charitable help in Mime
apolis or San Francisco during the
last month. A woman the other day
dropped in to inquire the visiting
hours of the state prison at Trenton.
Requests for loans of $500 and 81, OC0
without security are numerous. It
very frequently happens that appli-
cants for relief come in who really
require help, but whom it is impos-
sible for us to help.
discharged prisoners from Black
wells island often come to us for a
recommendation, and when asked if
they have been discharged from the
island return an emphatic negative:
oh, no. They have never been in
prison and never expect to be-. If
they admitted having been discharg-
cd from the island, we could send
them to various homes for discharg-
ed prisoners and got a record of their
behavior, ETC., from the prison in
which they have been. When, how.
ever, man or woman with no mon
ey, short hair, threadbare clothes
and veritable jailbird appearance
saunters in and swears that he or
she is nevertheless a perfect saint,
what are we to do? People will not
give them work, and pecuniary aid
is worse than useless.
"As q contrast to this we some
times have applicants for relief who
claim to have been discharged from
Jail, but have.never been inside ono.
Some time ago man walked into
the Office and said that he had just
left Detroit prison, where he had
served Is years time for forgery.
When questioned, his answers show
ed that he know nothing about pris~

brought back the reply that no such
man had been inside the Jail. When
confronted with the answer, he ad-
mitted that he had been lying. His
object in so doing was to gain SYM
pathy from people to whom he made
application. It Is curious fact that
people will show compassion for a
man convicted of some heinous Of
Tense when man whose only fault
was poverty would fail utterly in
enlisting their sympathies. In other
words, an honest man sometimes.

Prune Orchards.

1.-THE man who owns a prune Or
Chard in California has bettcr
thing of it than half the miners in
the state" said W. F. Long, a COM
mercial man from Omaha. II was
in Porterville not long since when q
resident named George Frost sold 16
tons of dried prunes, which had been
produced on six acres, for 81, 500. I
understand that this sum showed a.
net profit to Mr.. Frost of over 81, 200.
As this is an income Of over 5000 per
acre, and the land is probably worth
but little more, 1t would seem that
it had paid for itself in one season
at that rate. San Francisco Call.
