G. a. saIa,s Career.

/ first made the acquaintance of G. A.
known him well ever since. always
found him a perfect encyclopedia of
knowledge, coupled (Which is rare) with
a keen sense of humor. No man proba-
bly, wrote more copy in his life than
he did and few more readable. His
mode of writing was curious. He had a
vast amount of collected notes ON all
matters carefally indexed. These he
would consult Then he would walk up
and down the room for a time, after
which he would write or dictate with
out pause. J. have heard him make very
many good speeches, conceived ON the
same lines as his articles. He had at
times a strong desire to enter the house
of commons, but | somewhat doubt
whether be would have succeeded there
Always occupied on the press and on
the magazines, he managed occasionally
to write a novel, They We're really very
good novels, and if he had turned his
attention more exclusively to novel
writing he would have run Charles
Dickens and other masters of the art
close In business matters he was q
mere child. He earned great deal of
money, be was not extravagant, and
yet he never seemed to have any. In
his first wife he was fortunate III find
ing not only an amiable and beautiful
woman, but a woman of business, and
she was terrible loss TO him. 1t is sat
isfactory to think that he was well
cared for in his last sickness owing to
the kindness and iberality of the pro-
prietors of The Daily Telegraph, with
which newspaper he had been SO long
connected. London Truth.

Russian sable.

Russian sable owes its warmth aud
gloss to the fact that the longer hairs,
as we'll as the under fur, are absolutely
uniform in size and "section. Thus,
the sable tail makes a perfectly proper
toned natural pendant to the skin when
used as cape, and the whole skin has
the unity Of manufactured fabric, with
the other qualities only found in natural
fur. This pre-eminence of sable fur gives
it value in the most minute quantities.
The longer hairs, or surplus pieces of
the fur, are carefully saved and made
into the best paint brushes, which al
ways keep point, and in the color
mems catalogues the price of these
brushes is only approximately fixed and
varies according to the price of sables.
Sealskin and beaver fur are not only
softer, but warmer than any of the furs
which, at first sight, seem to approach
them closely in color and texture. Hare
skin can be clipped and dyed so as to re-
semble sealskin, but even if lined with
wool it does not approach the pelagic
fur in warmth or in luster. The wonder
full fineness of the under fur of the seal
causes it to hold minute quantities Of

The laugh is on Milo Me. farmer.
He prides himself ON regularity in feed

The other day he found he would be
obliged to be away at the usual hour,
SO he told his wife to be careful and
feed the pig just ON the stroke Of 2.
This advice was repeated several times

his parting admonition was. ssRemeni-

Promotes Seciabiliky.
Frances E. Ianigan ii Ladies Home
Journal writes that the progressive din
ner party has experienced . revival this
winter and is once more established in
fashionable favor. AS 1896 is leap
year the dinner is now arranged SO that
The men remain ID their original seats
throughout the meal, while the women
progress with the courses. The first an
nouncenent that the dinner is IN any
respect different from the ordinary oere-
moaial meal Of society is in the appear
ance at the hosts place Of small silver
bell, which he rings at the conclusion
of each course, and in the quotations
upon the gnesf cards, the line given to
the lady occupying the seat of honor
the right Of The host--being, Westward
the course Of empire takes its way,
thus indicating the direction of the pro-
gression. The other ladies' guest cards
may read: All things journey; we 60
with them, Press braveIy onward. =
Let us then be up and doing. On
ward, onward may we press. = A love
II apparition sent to be moments or
nament.
For the cards Of the men, who retain
their original seats throughout the
meal, the following quotations will
serve: s'How happy could / be with
either were t'other dear charmer away /"
welcome the coming, speed the going
guest, We must endure their going
hence, even as their coming hither, !"
"Variety's The very spice of life, = 1t
is something t. get this far if one is not
permitted to go farther. . Stay in that
station in which you have been placed. /"
The rule to be observed by the hostess
is that she must have as many courses
for her dinner as she has couples pres
ent. This is made necessary by the fact
that the progressions are made with the
courses, and that the round must be
completed with the end Of the dinner.
