actually fashionable in New York just

There are few points well worth
knowing in the marketing of honey.
The first thing necessary is to see that
the honey is carefully assorted. Then
it should be thoroughly cleaned and
put into neat. white crates. Another
very important thing is, the crates
should be the same thing all through;
that is. the honey should be just what
it appears to be on the face of it. There
is a great deal Of talk nowadays about
low prices and slow sales. but the man
who has an honest, clean. first-class
article of any kind need not 60 beg

ALL eoDsoNs OF EUGENE.


Prince Imperial Are Lucky.
Three thousand eight hundred and
thirty-four male children were born in
France on March 16, 1856. the same day
that the Inflated prince imperial came
into the world. His mother, eX-Em-
press Eugene. became godmother to
them all. 1t is said that the eX-em-
press has recently made her will, and
in it has bequeathed a trifling legacy
to each of her godsons, whose names
and addresses she still preserves The
original number, however, must have
been sadly depleted by death during
the nearly 40 years which have elapsed,
and of bearded men who will claim
their requests when Eugene dies there
may be less than half thousand.
The contrast between that March
day nearly four decades ago. and the

That night the soldiers waited beside
the cannon with lighted matches. At
e:10 in the morning the roar of the
guns awoke the city.
Some time previous the emperor had
issued a proclamation announcing the
fetes that would be held when his child
was born. and closing with these words:
THE emperor has decided that he will
be godfather and the empress god
mother to all the legitimate children
born in France upon the suspicious
day" Napoleon III. intended that the
title of 'godson" which he thus be-
slowed should be purely decorative
enc. but many of the fond parents did
not understand it, and applied to the
emperor for more substantial en-
dowment. There are few instances
on record where the quest was not in
vain.
No end of poetry was written on
the occasion. and one quatrain of The
ophile Gautier has survived. In it the
poet says the royal heir is a blond
Christ child, who bears in his little
hand for globe the peace of the world
and the happiness of human kind.
"The Song of the Godsons" was the
title of another interesting bit of verse
that was printed and sold on the boule
wards at that time and was extreme
ly popular.-N. Y. World.

WAR AND THE 400. This is largely ow-
ing to the smallness of our army, and
to the arduous duties and seclusion inn
posed upon our officers. But war
would bring them to the front in more
than one sense of the word. Nothing
is dearer to the heart of the true blue
society young lady than an army off
Ger, returning gloriously from vic
tory in the field. 1t is a singular fact
that Mr.. Clevelands war message was
received with delicious Joy by the New
York 400, and if the society maid
ems had the decision the presidents re-
election would be a foregone conclu-
sion.

Skating gowns are more in evidence
than in years past, though of skating
there has been scarcely any save IN

The long shoulder seam, which by
