Marie Antoinette's Microscopc.

A microscope belonging to Marie An

Der of L'Art International. A little
before her marriage the young arch
duchess OF Austria expressed the
strange desire OF possessing a micre-
scope. When asked what she intended
to do with It. she answered with n sad
smile: II would like to see my happi-
ness. which is 80 small that l cannot
see 1t with the naked eye" That micro
scope. which was incased in a delicate
little box, and bore the mark angelo

Hardness In Eyergreens.

There are often conflicting reports
as to any particular variety Of ever-
green being hardy. In some cases
they are said to resist any amount OF
cold. in other cases they are reported
as dying under comparatively little
frost; but in most cases exposure has
more to do with these results than
low temperature. Almost all of the
cvergrecns will grow together in
woods or forests, or perhaps form
u~nderbrush. where they are somewhat
protected from cold winds. A very
large number OF beautiful evergrcens,
now regarded as tender, would prove
perfectly hardy when set out in groups
together, or II planted where they
would not be exposed to severe win
try blasts. Protection from the
wind is what they mostly desire

Choosing the National CAPITAL.

''It Is not generally known" says the
Philadelphia Record. but It Is a mat
ter Of history, nevertheless. that Bristol
township. lying on the east side of Ger
mantown. had a very narrow escape
from being selected as the site OF the
capital of the United States. II was a
very small matter that turned the
choice toward Maryland and Virginia.
SO positive were some members OF con-
gress hat the capital was going TO be
located near Germantown that they
purchased real estate there. not. of
course. as a matter OF speculation. but
simply to be near at hand when the
removal from Philadelphia to Bristol

FASHION IN FACE HAIR.
There was Time when It Tool Coar-

ago Ca Wear Beard or Mustaohe.
The beard and mustache came into
fashion among Englishmen so recently
that middlc-aged folks can easily
recollect when it required some cour-
age to lay the razor aside and still
more TO face the world during the
initial stages Of the result, a y the
London Standard. Toward the close

hear Of such an innovation, and re-
called the hero OF the Gordon riots.
who. when he turned jew. allowed
his beard to grow after the almost
sacred custom Of his co-religionists.
Lord Rokeby, therefore. endured to
no purpose the SCOTS OF his contem-
poraries at what one OF them described
as 1.-THE most conspicuous trait OF his
person." All England either shaved,
or compromised by permitting o scanty
hint OF a whiskcr to grow. Even
''mutton chops" regarded in America
until lately as the peculiar mark OF an
Englishman, were not generally
adopted by the staider Britons. AS
for mustaches, only military men
wore them, and, indeed, cavalry
officers had almost a monopoly OF this
warlike appendage. The infantry sell
dom adopted It, and many officers OF
high rank, like Wellington, never
wore it at any period Of their career.
Even Napoleon remained throughout
life smooth-faced, and generally piled
the razor himself. .'Onc born to be

Rogers. ''has some onc TO shave him,

Five years ago Miss Sarah Scott OF
Fall River, Mass, was budding into q
wOmanhood that promised an excep-

To-day, says the New York World,
she is q bed-riddcn invalid in whom
every physician in New England is
taking an interest. She is suffering
from osteo- malacia, a rare disease OF

was carried into a hospital.
The manner of the breaking was 40

looked into the details IL was decided
that amputation was necessary to pro-

noted at the time that the bone was Of
a very unusual composition, but no

the broken limb healed and the

One of the surgeons at q Boston

weeks ago she was trying to fix n pill

arm to push it into place. She hadn't

WANT WHAT THEY CAN'T CE r.
How u Certain Little Human Weakness
Affects the Furniture Trade.


Affects the Furniture Trade.
John" said Il furniture salesman,
the other day, to the mover whom he
had summoned, ..this bedroom set Is
sold, but it is not to bc delivered Just
yet. Move IL out of the salcsroom at
once aud store IL somewhere until |
want it,"
What's the use OF moving it until
you send it up to me?" asked the pur-
chaser. idly. why don't you leave
it where it is?"
The salesman uttered a queer little
laugh and said:
lit is evident that you were never
in the furniture business. or YOU
would not ask that question. II |
should mark hat set sold and leave
il here in the salesroom in plain sight
it would probably lose us several good
sales"

with an unbclieving look.
at illust: atcs Il universal weakness
OF human nature" laughed the sales
man. Everybody wants what he
can't get, and there is nothing quite
so attractive to the average buyer as
q piece OF furniture that somebody
else has bought before he came
around. II | left that bedroom set
out marked sold half u dozen per-
sons would say before night that it
was exactly the set they wanted, and
when they heard there were no dupli-
Gates they would fuss around cnviOus-
ly and nothing else in the establish
ment would satisfy them.
Eventually they would go Off dis
c~ontentcdly and buy elsewhere,
though the chances are that il there
were no sold tag on the set none Of
them would give it more than u pass

them would purchase other sets. 1t
is "A little human weakness, that is all.
$50 arises one OF the tricks OF the
trade. When q dealer sells a piece
OF furniture OF which he sells no dupli-
Gates he hustles il out OF the sales
room as quickly as he can, lest it lose
him other trade. But when he sells O
piece Of furniture Of which he has
duplicates he puts a big sold tag
on it and leaves it in open sight as
long as possible for a bait for others"

Of hearing the report of the committee

shown that the brokers In both New York

some Of the lines are standing in with
