Very Glad Of IT.

A good story of a military officer is
told. 1t appears that in the crush at
the diplomatic reception at the White
House he was pushed violently against
notwithstanding woman. She
glared at him for an instant, and then
said in a menacing way: BE good
enough to give me more ROOM"
Pardon me, madam, but I cannot"
answered the officer.
Whereupon the lady detached long
pin from her bodice and plunged it into
the arm Of the man. He braced him.
self and did not vince, and she drove
1t in again. After repeated attacks she
remarked:
Il don't believe you can help it. after
all, or you wouldn't allow yourself to
be pricked in this way"
II told you, believe that couldn't
help myself" answered the officer.
Later in the evening, when the officer
was In the east room, the same woman
made her way through the crowd and
spoke to her enemy
ut was diamond pin, and l have
lost it."
The officer bowed very low, and said:
"Allow me to say, madam, that am
very glad Of it."-New York Times.

AlQbaeti,le.

Chicago Inter Ocean, Feb %: Readers
of the Inter Ocean have often seen Ala
bastine prominently mentioned in these
columns during many years past. The
main counting room on the first floor of
the building was daintily and beautifully
decorated with A!abastine, both walls and
ceiling, seven years ago, and has been
nicely cleaned five times, though badly
smoked each year.
The same room has just been handsome
~ redecorated in freehand Alabastine
modelling in the delicate tints and other
Alabastine work, and the effect is very
beautiful, even surprising the original
work of seven years ago.
The original Alabastine (the hot-water
kind supplied nearly all demand for
ready-made wall coatings throughout the
whole of the United States for sixteen
years.
This is the same as the original except
being in form adapted for use in cold wat.
er. Alabastine is a cement that forms
permanent coats, admits of recoating from
time to time without removing its old
coats, and hardens with age.

The Skating Girl in Germany.

No one enjoys the skating season
more than the unemancipated girl Of
Germany. The only time when she is
ever alone with young man is during
those joyous hours when with crossed
arms they skim together over the ice
on some woodland lake or Icy rink
Hence German girls are devoted to the
ice, and early learn to execute the most
difficult and intricate figures on their
skates. Her escort is always delight
full, though he never skates half SO well
as she. If he is an officer, his trousers
are too tight and his figure too stiff to
make him graceful object. But, then,
the wonder of having him all to herself
for one whole afternoon elates the
maid, and she goes home with shining
eyes and glowing cheek and a thump-
ing heart, eager for repetition Of the
exDprience.

During the past season much has
been written about Ii Hun. Chang's
method Of smoking. The popularity in
this habit Of one nearer and dearer to
us-Tennyson-isd decidedly unique. A
writer says of the great poet:
1.-THE common clay pipe was his
choice. His den was Mt the top Of the
house. When he sat down to work in
the morning huge tobacco-jar, big
enough for an ancestral urn, was at
his feet, together with box full Of
white clay pipes. Filling one Of these.
he smoked until it was emrty, broke
1t in twain, and threw the fragments
into another box prepared for their re-
ception. Then he pulled ont fresh
pipe, filled it, smoked it, and destroyed
1t as before. He would not smoke a
pipe the second time"
