Her Revenge.

For certain performance Of an opera
by Verdi ono OF the sopranos was to take
the rolo of page boy. Sho was rather dis
liked on account Of her bitter tongue and
good opinion of herself There was O dress
rehearsal in which she appeared in boys
clothes, and being in bad temper insulted
the leading tenor. His wife was present,
and being of q rather vin6ictive turn re-
solved upon revenge. Her quick eye found
out that much of tho new page boys shape
was artificial, so she mndo some banderillas
with colorcd paper and long needles and
waited in tho wings during tho evening
performance. Down came tho page six or
seven minutes before her call. Acoomplices
held her in conversation while tho vito Of
the tenor stuck q banderilla into the calf
of each leg. Needless to say, tho needles
penetrated only padding, and when the
young page bounded on to greet his master
tho tenor-with song there was such n
roar from the house and such scene on
tho stage rs are better imagined than de-
scribed.-San Francisco Argonaut.

THE INCEPTION OF PRINTING.
How Others Got Farne and Wealth From
Gutenberg's Invention.


How Others Got Farne and Wealth From
Gutenberg's Invention.
In Gutenberg IS time the city of Prague
was famous for its manufactures and mo-
chanical inventions. In the books of the
university several Gutenbergs arc entered
and among them is John, who may rea-
sonably be supposed to DO our inventor
After tho failure Of his first printing press
he seems to have returned to Prague for
the purpose Of improving himself in mo-
chanical invention. But tho history Of
his first printing press Is interesting. He
hired n room in Strasburg and proceeded
TO carry out his idea of multiplying block
books by means of movable wooden typo
These books were very numerous and In
great demand, and Gutenbcrg's intention
was to manufacture them in considerable
quantity for sale at the approaching sop
tennial fair ut Aix-la- Chapolle. In order
to conceal his purpose when his employ
ment was inquired into he took advantage
of n double meaning, and said that no was
manufacturing mirrors or looking glasses
for sale at the fair, some of the block books
being known as specula, such as the
"Speculum Salvationis." Gutenberg Dor
rowed money of q family named Dritzehn,
and one of them entered into partnership
with him.
AT first Gutenberg taught tho art of cut
ting and polishing gems, but Dritzehn and
n friend of his one Helmann, noticed that
he worked in secret at some other art, but
before Gutenberg would reveal it he re-
CURED fresh terms, which were granted.
The affairs of the partnership did not pro-
coed well. Dritzehn died, and his rela-
lions In 1889 brought an action against
Gutenberg for the recovery of tho money
advanced by them.
Gutenberg attempted to form his type
by casting, but the casts were not sharp
enough for printing. He consulted a
worker in metals (Fust of Mayence) who
at once saw the value OF tho invention
and advanced money to Gutenberg on tho
strength of 1t. Fust's apprentice Peter
Schoffer, overcame the difficulty, and his
master made him his partner and son-in-
law, and the two men, ignoring Guten-
berg, appropriated his invention and thus
obtained fame and wealth.-Notes and

The best houses are already showing
summer parasols and they are very beau
tiful. The most of them are rather small
compared with those Of the last three sum
mers. Some Of these are made of printed
taffeta silks In quite dark oolors, with or
without ruffle of lace; others are covered
quite plainly with printed silks, the cheney
patterns being the favorites. The moro
dressy parasols, intended for carriage, or
for lawn parties, or for full afternoon at
tire at one Of the summer resorts-per-
chance for the races-are made of very light
tinted silk, with numberless narrow ruffles
or puffings OF chiffon. Few of them have
ruffies of chiffon at the edges, but the top
Is made to look as billowy as basin of
soapsuds. White over pale tints are the
favorites. The handles to these parasols
are rather short, and they are exquisitely
made, being carved or inlaid or set with
many of the semipreoious stones.
Immense quantities of washable silks
are shown. These are lustrous which
they never were before. 1t took a very

for the wash silks are as lustrous and crisp
as taefftas. The all white habutai silks
for waists and dainty tea gowns are SO

solid. The new taffeta checks are exceed
ingly pretty, especially for the waists,
and more different effects are produced
than one would think possible, The black
and white checks and stripes seem to be
the most popular. New designs and effects
in the Dresden silks continue to arrive
and they are very lovely. Contrary to ex-
pectation, there is great demand for
black silks. They will be used for pice
skirts In place of the very unsatisfactory
orepons of last season. There Is black
taffeta, plain, but in firm, close weave
that makes 1t unusually rich. Heavy fig

very neat designs. Black satin duchess
