Keeping Up Appearances.

It is difficult, says The Lady, to be- lieve the assertion made by contem- porary to the effect that man in Lon don makes a handsome sum by lending out to smart" brides and bridegrooms a Bank of England note for one thousand pounds, which note figures as among the presents as the gift of the lady's father Cbeing carefully watched by Q special person told off for that duty alone), and is then re- turned to its owner, plus fee for the loan. No doubt it is, unfortunately, true that the keeping up of appear ances" neccssitates many unpleasant expedients in these extravagant days, but really the enterprising person who discovered the latest society ruse" might have invented something heater. What would happen, we wonder, if some wedding guest, possessed of un- usual aptitude for figures, were to carry in his head the number of that note from one wedding to another? And how do the happy pair dispose of sub sequent questions as to what they have done with the handsome present?

TWO LOST LETTERS.
How Postal Officials at Times Are Com- , pel1ed to Use Their Wits.

How Postal Officials at Times Are Com- i peI1ed to Use Their Wits.
 An English merchant was advised by his agent that check of six hundred pounds sterling would be sent to him by the next mail, says Mr. Baines in his ''Forty Years at the Post Office" It did not come and the merchant at once made complaint at the post office. The postman on that route was called in by the postmaster, and, in answer to ques- tions, said that the missing packet was duly received and delivered. He re- membered it distinctly-its shape, col or and postmark. As his habit was he had poked it under the house door, with two other letters and newspa- per. The merchants wife had picked up three packets and was positive there had not been fourth.
 The postmaster went to the house and examined it carefully. Then he looked into the back garden. His eye lighted on a litter of puppies. A thought struck him.
 Have the dog kennel cleared out, please"
 Nonsense! Why?"
 Kindly have it cleared
 ''Well, if it must be. Thomas, take out the straw"
 On the floor of the kennel, torn into hundred bits, lay the missing letter and check. A current of air along the passage had blown the letter about. The puppies, naturally enough, had bounced upon it as a plaything and had had good time.
 A merchant complained of the loss of letter mailed from his office contain ing some hundreds of pounds in Bank of England notes. Finally an expert from the post office department called upon him.
 Believe me, sir" the expert said. ''I have an object in what 1 ask. Will you kindly sit at your desk and recall each operation connected with the miss ing letter."
 With pleasure. I sit here, take a sheet of this note paper and one of those covers. Then write my letter and fold it up so. Next I go to my safe and take out the notes, enter their numbers, fold them, put them in the letter and the letter in the cover. Then seal them all up as you see me do."
 "Just so, and what next?"
 "Why, my clerk comes in and clears off my desk for the post"
 "But you wrote this one at noon, and the post does not go out before night. :"
 ''Oh, yes, of course! quite forgot to say that a money-letter, for greater se- curity, put in a left-hand drawer"
 (Which one?"
 "Which? Why, this one. I open it so and I-bless my soul! Goodness me! am very, very sorry for all the trouble I've given. Here is the letter."

 ''Not exactly pretty, but such good daughter'-Plain beyond description, and as tenacious as barnacle. To be scrupulously avoided.
 Knows everyone and goes every where" = Middle-aged and unprepos- sessing; has been hawked about for years. Not only knows everybody, but knows more than they do themselves.
 "So clever"-Clear eyes, high fore head, masterful. Talks pretentiously upon pretentious subjects
 "Very artistic" - Untidy. unwhole- some, unkempt; voice which sounds as if it had come from her boots. Too much ''soul' and too much body" To be well shaken before taken.
 'So good-natured"-C unceas- ingly; agrees with everybody. Looks stupid and amiable. but is shrewd and selfish.
 "An heiress" and super cilious; forehead generally shiny. Needs . fortune and more to make her not only presentable but bearable.
 'Writes"-Afects a far-away, preoc- cupied air; dresses curiously, and talks riskily. Depreciates the work of others, and by inference magnifes the excellence of her own. Has nothing more original in her than original sin.
 Sings beautifully" = Bursting with trills and trolls; with the slightest en- couragement would set to singing, even in the middle of a dinner. Hov- CTS hungrily around the piano. To be taken in homeopathic doses.

| How the Prisoner Succeeded in Impress ing His Captors by a Speech.
 The Texas court had convened at the foot of g telegraph pole and the horse thief was watching the proceedings. says the New York Sun. Presently the judge turned to him.
 ''Seein,n he said, ''as how the boys come off in hurry and forgot the rope and it's goin' to take some time fer the man to git back that's gone after it, p'r'aps you like to make few remarks to entertain the crowd and git yer mind offen the main objeck uv yer bein' present on this occasion" ''I ain't much of a speaker replied the prisoner, ''but I'm wil1in' to please, and as used to be an exhorter before got the Texas habit I reckon I might make try at it."
 Well, go ahead; you've got few minutes and the choice of subjecls. Considerin' yer doin' it to please us, we won't be too perticlzelar."
 ''Can't you make it few years, {" smiled the prisoner.
 "We'd like to, but the objeck of the meetin' wouldn't git fair shake. Be sides, we've been to good deal of trouble to git you here and we ain't got time to waste that away. You jist go ahead and make the speech and make her lively, fer the boys may git to shootin' before the rope gifts here" Thus i1nportuned, the prisoner took his place on @ pile of railroad ties and launched forth ins an impassioned ad- dress, patriotic, religious, personal and highfalutin, the poor fellow evidently feeling, as had been suggested by the leader, that in this way he might for get the object of the meeting.
 He kept it up for fifteen minutes or more and then the leader held up his hand for him to stop and he looked around nervously, expecting to see the man returning with the rope; and that's what he did see, but the leader stepped out and beclzoned the man to one side.
 That's all right" he said reassur- ingly to the prisoner; then he turned to the crowd. Boys" he said, ''you have heerd this man makin' speech here for the last fifteen CT twenty min utes, and in all that time he ain't said dern word about free silver ner the Wilson tariff bill, and move you now that we give him fifteen minutes to git out. Thar must be some good in him and we ought to give him chance to let it spread. All in favor of that mo- tion say ave-" and with unanimous vote those wild and woolly Texans gave that horse thief another chance for his white alley.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD.
Planks Made of ork Will Be Used in
 New Ships.

NoW SnlpSs
 Several months ago the board of in- spection ard survey of the navy depart ment was directed to make an investi- gation with view of obtaining some practicable substitute for wood in fit- ting naval vessels. The desire for substitute was the fact that a lighter material was wanted if possible, one that would not take so much space in the vessel, and more than anything else a material that would not splinter It was also desirable to have a non- combustible substance.
 The board says the Washington Post, has made report to the secre- tary of the navy and some of its recon mendations have been adopted by him, and it is probable that some of the new ships will be fitted with the new ma- terial as substitute for wood.
 One of the best materials which has been found by the board is wood sub. stitute composed of waste cork, or any cork. This is. subjected to four hun- dred degrees of heat, and it is ther pressed into blocks of any required. size. It can be sawed into thin strips or handled very much as wood is handled. Cork has gum that great heat melts and glues it's particles to- gether in compact mass. After being pressed it sticks together as tightly as if it had grown that way. The cork boards may be made heavy or light, as wanted. Some of the lighter kinds are used in the walls of refrigerators. It is non-conductor, and can scarcely be made to burn. This material is used in the place of wood in German vessels. Commander Bradford, who made the search and examination of this particu- lar substitute, found that the Germans were using it under patent taken out by John Smith, of New York, and that companies in the United States had ob- tained rights for its manufacture here.

COWBOYS BECOMING EXTINCT.
Rapid Decadence of the Genus That Made
 the Wild West Famous.

Rapid Decadence of the Genus That Made
 the Wild West Famous.
 The cowboy, like the buffalo, is fast becoming extinct. In the dawn of the new century now approaching he will be regarded as curiosity. Ten years hence, says Lippincott's Magazine, he will almost have attained the dignity of tradition. History, which emballns the man in armor and exalts the pioneer, holds place for him. The niche may be modest one, but he has his part in conquering a new country, and no i'm partial record of western evolution can omit his picturesque figure. Before civilization devours his identity let us try to detain it 9 moment in it's real likeness and garb.
 Dwellers in the long-settled com munities scarcely realize how great change has come over the far west dur ing the last decade. Ranches there will always be-ranches for grain, hay fruit and blooded live stock-but not for the rearing of range cattle. Yet the time is in easy memory when there was craze over the cattle business, when the cowboy was king at Dodge City, when hundreds of educated young men went west to share the hardship of herders. To-day the cattle ranches are deserted or mortgaged or turned into farms. il more advanced intelli- gence has penetrated the possibilities of irrigation and water Is reclaiming the wilderness once given over to the long-horn steer.
 The decline of the cattle industry has been as amazing and rapid as was it's rise. The business is not simply suf- fering from stagnation; it has almost ceased to exist. Early in the eighties a beef steer running on the range rep resented forty dollars; one-fourth that sum would pay for him now. Thirty dollars was the average price for a COW with a calf at her side; now whole herds are disposed of for six dollars head

PEsT-KILL.NG INSECTS.
The Ichneu1non Flies Which Do Away
 with Caterpillars.

 The Ichneu1non Flies Which Do Away
 with Caterpiliars.
 A family cf insects that arc immense ly valuable in killing the caterpillars that prey on the most luxuriant trees in the city, and in many cases have made them almost lealcss, are the ichneImon flies. h appearance these insects are not unlike the T1asoa w2sps. with their slender waists and torpedo like bodies, but they are perfectly harmless to man, though terror to the caterpillar.
 The webworm, says the New York Tribune, is one of the pests of the parks. This caterpillar is grcgarious in its habits, and spins a big web around the leaves it intends to eat. This is no doubt spun as protection from the worms enemies, but Trib- une reporter the other day noticed that an ichneumon fly had forced her way in, and every second one could see her dart out her ovipositor, or egg-laying tube, and puncture worm, who would squirm up. but the mischief was done. An egg had been laid below the skin, and when each of those caterpillars turns into a chrysalis that egg will hatch and gradually eat the pupa.
 Another of the ichneumon flies was seen stalking the big and ugly-looking caterpillar of the golden moth. The fly actually crept up to her victim on tiptoe along a small twig, for the cater pillar in self-defense can emit an acrid green fluid, and as it can swing around with great force, the fly has to be eau tious. In this case the fly was success ful. She got within striking distance and the next moment the big caterpil- lar was writhing in rage; but the egg had been laid successfully, and the fly was out of reach. searching for another victim.
 A big species of the ichneumon fly can often be noticed crawling along the dead limbs of the trees. Watch one stop. She has heard worm boring it's way in the center of the bough she was walking on. She is busy at once driving her needle-pointed ovipositor through the wood, and it is always with unerring aim. As soon as the borer is struck an egg is deposited. The chief victim of this most useful fly is the elm tree borer, that is doing in- calculable mischief through a large re- zion of this country. This pest was imported into this country only few years ago, but has already made great inroads into the naples, sycamores and elms.
 Prof. W. Beuttenmuller, the entomol- ogist for the American museum of art, remarked recently that probably there had never been such pest of insects injurious to every sort of plant as this year, but at the same time insects such as the ichneumon fly and lady-bird, who prey on these bugs. have increased wonderfully.
 Another probable reason why the ravages have been so bad this year is that the ordinary number of birds to be found in the parks all through the summer has greatly decreased, owing, no doubt, to the severe frosts in the southern states last winter, which killed thousands of birds that make their southern homes in the region above New York.

English Court Functions.

The unusual number of court fune- tions of one sort and another in Eng land and the exceptional number of ''drawing-rooms" at Buckingham palace this year have been the result, it is said, of additional activity in Lon don society. The new order of things at Buckingham palace that permits but two hundred presentations at a draw ing-room has been the one drawback to the serenity of London's best society. Such an innovation naturally has caused good deal of disappointment to many matrons and maidens whose names arrived at the lord chamber lain's after the list of presentations permitted had been filed up. The numbers of American ladies in par ticular presented this season has been smaller than for some years.
