THEY LEAVE COURTESY Ar H0Mh
Unaecustomed FranIxness of an English
 Writer.
(From the London sketch.)

(From the London Sketch.)
 A friend of mine has just returned from long sketching tour in parts of France and the Netherlands, and has told me many and curious things about the way Englishmen and things are considered by people who have no chance of a first-hand acquaintance with them. In the course of conversa- ton l asked him to name the English artists who were most talked about, and the names he gave were startling. l quote his words: The three artists whose work is best known are Walter Crane, Raven Hill and Aubrey Boards ley" I tried hard to convince him that he had misunderstood the public taste, but he was as positive as the menda cious little heroine of We Are Seven" l quoted artist after artist who might be presumed to appeal more powerfully to the foreign mind; he absolutely re- fused to withdraw his statements, which were, he said, founded on most careful observation. Isn't it a curious combination? One can understand the presence of the first two names, but Beardsley-leaving his work itself out of the question--is scarcely fledged, His work for John Lane, whose books sell largely on the Continent, is the only explanation I can find for his pop ularity.
 On another point, and one I venture to think, of interest to intelligent tray eIers, my friend was very strong. He told me that country people in the parts he visited regard the Englishmsn as some unCouth monster with plenty of money and an utter absence of man. ners or taste. This feeling is one l have also noted, and 1t undoubtedly arises from the curious way in which our countrymen leave their courtesy at home when they travel. l have seen the rnildest hammered man who ever did the Bond street crawl in the Lon don season absolutely transformed, few months later, when l met him on the Continent in the tweed suit and Of fensive cap peculiar to the travelling Englishman. At home he may be a thoroughly good sort; abroad, he speaks loudly, acts vulgarly, and con- demns all men who have not the priVi lege of being his compatriots. If in Paris he will go to the opera house in morning-coat and gaiters, he will curse walters and by dozen pieces of care lessness offend people around him. If he did such things in town he would be voted mo class" but he honestly be- lieves that such behavior is all be- nighted foreigners have right to eX- pect. International congresses and Journalistic courtesies and the friendly meetings of representative men of the nations can never increase the en tente between ourselves and our Continental neighbors until the great body of our countrymen will treat foreign preju- dice with more consideration. If the faults proceeded from bad breeding and native barbarity they would be be- yond control, but, as they are only the result of carelessness and thoughtless- ness. it behooves men to reflect. The good opinion of country is worth hay ing

Summer Silks. (From Harper's BaZar. !


 The handsomer qualities of silk, or, to speak more correctly, the more ex- pensive qualities, are being made up for summer outfits. Poult de soie is a fashionable material, and comes in eX- quisite shades. A maize or corn color is among the novelties, and when trimmed with white lace is exceedingly becoming. It used to be thought that anything approaching yellow should be exclusively worn by brunettes, but never was there a greater mistake, for blondes look equally well in that color. These heavy silks used to be consid- cred suitable only for evening wear, but we have now no fixed laws for ma terial or coloring for different occas- sions. Gray is lovely in poult de soie, and a robins egg blue is the softest and most delicate thing imaginable Lace, embroideries, mOusseline de soie, and chiffon all combine satisfactorily with these heavy silks. but black lace, unless for older women, should never be chosen to trim them, although there are many gowns that have been lately made up that have fine black lace on the solid colors. White against the soft shading is usually becoming. and gray made up with white and touches of yellow gives beautifully pictur- esque effect.

The Junior League is a paper "pub- lished semi-occasionally, or whenever it is convenient, by children, for chil- dren, in aid of children" In the May issue are printed number of articles that took prizes in recent story com petition, and from among these we copy the following essay on Bones" which took the prize in Class V:
 "Bones is the framework of the body. If I had no bones in me I should not have so much motion, and teacher would be pleased, but like to have motion. Bones give me motion, be- cause they are sometimes hard for mo- ton to cling to. If I had no bones, my brains, lungs, heart and larger blood vessels would be lying around in me and might get hurt, but now my bones get hurt, but not much unless it is a hard hit.
 If my bones were burned, I should be brittle. because it would take the animal out of me. If I was soaked in acid, I should be Timber. Teacher showed me a bone that had been soaked; I could bend it easily. should rather be soaked than burned Some of my bones don't grow close to my others snug, like the branches to the trunk of a tree. and I am glad they don't. for if they did, I could not play leap-frog and other good games that know.

Piano Points.

tFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer.l
 Too much pedal, in playing, is worse than none at all
 Do not place books or music on the piano if it can be avoided. It tends to deaden the tone of the instrument.
 If you love your piano do not allow bric-a-brac to rest upon it. It is in wretched taste; besides, it is often the cause of an unpleasant rattling while the instrument is being used.
 Never place your piano close against the wall. It will sound much better if drawn out into the room. If this is not possible allow space of eight to twelve inches between it and the wall
 Cultivate the habit of listening to your own playing. Fine results may be obtained by playing single notes and chords very slowly, endeayoring to produce a pure, round and long tone without striking the keys hard.

other end was hollowed in deep. That is the socket and it oils itself. It is the only machine that oils itself, It never creaks like the school door, There is another joint that doesn't seem much like a joint. That is the skull. It don't have no motion. All my bones put together make a skeleton. If l leave out any or put any in the wrong place it ain't no skeleton. Some ami mals have their skeletons on the out side. I am glad l ain't them animals for my skeleton like it is on the chart wouldn't look well on my outside"

Something About Stamps. {Erpn HarpaptS Round To hl n


 All United States stamps are first en- graved on a soft steel die, which is af- forwards hardened several impress sions of the die are then made on a rol- Ter of soft steel, which is subsequently hardened. Impressions from the roller are then made upon the soft steel plates used in printing. The following are some of the ways in which minor varieties of the design are caused: By the shifting of the roller during the making of the plate, causing the top and bottom parts of the stamp to be doubled; by missing the guide-lines, causing them to appear in the stamp; by retouching the die roller or plate each plate is retouched, but some of the dies and rollers are not; by brit tie roller-small pieces break off and become embedded in the plate, causing white blotches to appear in the design; by re-entering-that is impressing the roller twice on the same stamp in the plate; also by the wearing of the plate. A unique medal is said to be pre- served in the Paris mint. It is a very large gold piece bearing on the obverse the Emperor Napoleon's portrait, and the reverse Hercules strangling the giant Antaeus. The inscription is De scente en Angleterre Qnvasion of Eng land), and Frappe a Londres (Struck in London). The die was broken after the collapse of Napoleor's plan, and only the proof copy preserved.

Why the Cook Did Not Sit Out the Por-

formance,
 tFrom tho New York Evening Suu.)
 When "The Benefit of the Doubt was running at the Lyceum last win ter, young matron who had bought two seats for the evening performance found at the last moment that she and her husband would be unable to attend the performance. She handed the tick cts over to the cook, raw young Irish girl, who had never been inside a thea ter in her life. The cook hastily sought out her young brother, also recent ar rival from Ireland, and together they set out for the Lyceum.
 About nine o'clock that evening the mistress, happening to so into the kitchen, found to her astonishment that the cook had already returned.
 Why, what's the matter, Hannah2 Why didn't you go to the theater?" she asked.
 "Oh, but we've been, ma'am, We had a lovely time. The gentleman gave us chairs right down in front, and there was lots of gentlemen and ladies sitting all round, It was beautiful"
 Yes, but the performance isn't over until eleven. How does it happen you are home so soon?"
 Well, I tell you, maam. You see, pretty soon they pulled curtain up, and there was one of the prettiest drawing rooms you ever seen and a lovely lady sitting in it talking to her self From the way she talked l seen at once she was in trouble, and pretty soon she went ont and her father and mother came in and began to tell each other how she had trouble with her husband and she was going to court about it. They sat down at table and began to talk real private like, only they spoke so loud we could hear every word. I could have cried for them I felt that sorry. And all the ladies and gentlemen was leaning forward in their seats listening to every word. l didn't think that was honorable of them, ma'am, so I says to Dennis, Dennis, says I, Whatever we are we are not eaves-droppers. so I dropped a curtesy to the old lady and gentleman and then the two of us walked right out"

 The instant he walked out of the hall with the twenty-one other bolters the news was flashed to Denver. Appar- ently the news was sent from Denver to all parts of Colorado, for within an hour young Jack Byrnes, the sergeant at-arms of the Colorado delegation, was signing receipts for telegrams for Senator Teller and the other delegates as fast as he could. These messages were of the "Good-for- you" style They came from every county in Colo rado, from Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Montana. Some of them were from prominent Colorado democrats, and asked Senator Teller if he would accept a presidential nomina- tion at the hands of the national dem neyatic convention if t adopted an un-

Evening.
A Pleasant Time Was Had

George Install Officers for the
Next Term-Terse Tales.


The fair given by the Ladies' Auxiliary
OF the Y. NJ. c. A. opened last evening al
the Light Guard Armory and was well
attended and enjoyed by all. The Ar.
mory was decorated with flags and ever
greens and the floor space was DIVIDED
into booths. On the right OF the en-
trance were number OF tables. where
refreshments were served. The ladies
served coffee, sandwiches, ice cream, cake,
ETC., and the ice cream and coffee was far
above that usually served at affairs OF
this sort.
On the left OF the entrance and about
half way down the side of the hall were
two booths decorated with large Ameri-
can flags, where a large variety OF useful
and ornamental articles were offered for
sale by the ladies. Most of these articles
had been made by the ladies themselves.
Further down the hall in the cor1er was
the candy booth, presided over by sever
al young ladies, where homemade ca ndies
were sold by the box and otherwise.
The other booth was on the opposite
side OF the hall on the platform and was
trimmed with lace curtains, which, with
the other decorations, made very at
tractive appearance. Cut flowers were
sold here. Beside these there were sew
ersl other attractions OF minor notice.
Undoubtedly, the most interesting part
OF the fair was the art loan, consisting of
paintings and statuary of a decidedly
novel description. For instance, the cell
ebrated painting, The Departed Spir-
it's, on investigation, proved to be an
empty whisky bottle; the Rose of Cas-
tile" consisted OF several rows" OF cas-.
tile soap; The Captiyes" Tin oily was

Fair was sack OF oats, beside a long

ng for the last time. A game of basket
