HIGH-BACKED CHAIRS.
They Are often the Cause of Dis
tressinR Accidents to
Company.

High-bacled leather chairs for
dining-room have their advantages and
disadvantages. Among the former is
the obvious fact that they are wonder
fully becoming backgrounds, the
stamped leather, with its antique nails
as a setting, making each woman look
as if she were picture and individual
izing her, as it were, by accentuating
every accessory of her couture
and toilet Moreover, in themselves,
high-backed chairs have a distinction
that bower ones lack, and they give a
dignifed look to a dining-room that
seems particularly appropriate. On
the other hand, they are, it is said, the
cause of many accidents; the person of
n guest being entirely hidden from a
servant, he sometimes comes in con-
tact with a suddenly turned shoulder
or raised arm with most disastrous re-
suits.
How lovely Miss Y looks to-
night" said her vis-a-vis to his hostess.
rs ii the light or the chair? That IL
Illuminated leather makes her look as
If she were enshrined; the effect is real
~ delightful" But, alas, as he spoke,
Mrs. KS neighbor hoved his arm; it
came suddenly in contact with n salmi
of duck which the servant was about to
present to her notice, and the whole
dish was poured over her white satin
gown.
what do you think of the effect of
rrb -1np1sa1 oh natx enid tho hoe
tess, ruefully, returning to her seat
after having consigned poor Miss Y
TO the Offices of her maid. The girls
dress is completely ruined, and ii had
just come over from Paris. And the
worst of 1t is that this is the second ac-
cident that has happened here this win
ter. Poor Miss Midas had mousse of
sweetbread deposited in her purple
satin lap about month ago. 1t was
not the same servant either, and really
cannot say it is the fault of the man. 1t
is, l am sorry to say, my chairs. The
people are completely screened from
the sight OF the servants, while the
guests cannot see that dish is APP
preaching"
This disadvantage, however, is only
apparent when there is large dinner
and the chairs are necessarily placed
close together. When, on the other hand
there are only six or eight at the table
nothing could be more desirable, both
for comfort and for looks; it might be
well, therefore, for the lovers of the
picturesque to effect compromise
and have two sets of chairs-one fol
daily use and for small dinners and an
other fer large functions.-N. Y. Trib-
une.

A MAN WHO is TIRED.

All the time, owing to impoverished
blood should take Hoods Sarsaparilla
to purify and enrich his blood and
give him vitality and vigor.
This condition of weakness and lack
of energy is a natural consequence OF
of the coming of warmer weather,
which finds the system debiltated
and the blood impure.
A good spring medicine is a
necessity with almost everyone.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is what the
millions take in the spring. Its great
power to purify and enrich the blood
and build up health is one of the facts
of common experience.

Pernin,s Economy.

His eXcellency Mira Mahmoud
Khan, the shah's ambassador at Con-
stantinople, holds his distinguished Of
flee upon conditions which are quite
without precedent in the diplomatic
world. The lord of the lion and the sun
does not devote penny of his revenue
to maintaining a representative at
Stamboul. He has in that city about
$4,000 subjects, and these are duly
taxed for the purpose. Mira NAH
mould has no reason to complain of the
arrangement, for by the help of half
q dozen able-bodied collectors he Sc
cures an income of about 10000.
True, he is compelled to hand over
$4,000 yearly to his colleague at Wen
ma, but the balance enables him to live
very comfortably. The contributors,
however, insist upon his spending
certain amount on hospitality, and
whenever he gives n dinner party, as he
did recently, to the corps dfplomatique,
n committee of taxpayers is posted in
an ante room, whence they can satisfy
themselves that their ambassador does
the thing in proper style, and keeps up
the dignity of the nation. - London

the olive trees on the sides of the noun

And who has ever forgotten the won
derful crescendo of a woman's voice on

"What are you doing there, you

Photography Without Camera.

Photography without a camera
would seem to be an impossibility,
and perhaps (says Home paper
we might have so regarded it had
we not seen the excellent specimens
shown by the author OF the process,
Mr.. j. I'll. Player. The method is
applicable only to the reproduction
OF drawings, book illustrations, and
the like, and is conducted with the
simplest apparatus imaginable.
Suppose, for example, we want to
copy an engraving from book.
First of all Che book is placed open
in a horizontal position, and beneath
the page to he copied rests a sheet
Of plate glass. Face downwards on
the print, and in contact with it, is
laid piece of bromide paper such as
photographers use for enlarging
purposes This is kept in position
by two sheets of plateglass, and
above all is laid sheet of potmetal
or Photographic green glass. Fifteen
inches above gas-burner-pre-
ferably OF the triple kind used for
billiard tables is lighted for about
10 minutes; after which the bromide
paper is developed into negative,
from which any reasonable number
OF copies can be printed photogra-
phically by the usual methods. 1t
is necessary that the sensitive bro
mide paper be handled in yellow or
red light only; and it will ba
observed that although no lens or
camera'is employed, some knowledge
of Photographic manipulations ia

Coming down now to our own
time, the account Of the discovery
of saccharine, one of the numerous
by-products of the gasmaker's re-
fuse, whose sweetness is three hun.
dred times more intense than that
Of cane-sugar, reads almost like a
romance. DR.. Fahlberg had entered
the Johns Hopkins university in
America in order to devote himself
exclusively to study of the chemis-
try OF coal-tar derivatives. Some
months had passed, when one even
ing at tea. time he detected an in
tensely sweet flavor upon his bread
and butter. He traced the sweetness
to his fingers, to his hands, and to
his coat-sleeves; and it dawned upon
him that it must have been derived
from one of the new compounds
which he had that day succeeded in
producing. He promptly returned to
his laboratory and tasted the content
Of every vessel with which he had
been working. His idea was correct.
One of his beakers contained the
sweet material.

marvellous X-rays have open

physical science, besides being OF
far-reaching practical utility in
surgery and other departments

some sort Of cloth. A strong electric
current was passed through it, while
close by was some prepared photo
graphic paper, but no camera. Next
day he noticed several lines on this
paper for which he could not &C.
count. By restoring everything to
exactly the same condition as on the
preceding day, he was able to as
certain the real origin of these
mysterious marks.-Chambers' Jour.

1000 head of stock cattle. Price not learned
 Arizona Republican: The first four cent cattle that have gone out of the territory within ten years were shipped to El Paso last night. There was carload of them, all steers of an average weight of about HOO pounds. They were bought of IIagan Bros and are intended for immediate butcherlng. A year ago cents would have been regarded as a fancy price. Cattlemen believe now that stock of the same grade will bring i cents and perhaps more at any time within the next year.
 Arizona Republican,: There was a sanguinary affair at the stock yards on Saturday night A maddened steer dashed at Gallup, x M., man, who was riding one of the best horses from Gibsuns stables. He plunged horn into the horses breast and there was a bloody fountain. Horse and rider went down. Then there was work for the cowboys. Riata after riata was broken, but at last the steer was dragged down by three ropes His horns were sawed off and he was put on d car to be made into steaks for the delectation of the Cres- cent Coal company of Gallup. The horse is breathing through the hole in his breast, but there is d chance of his recovery.
 Cattle buyers who object to southern cattle, simply because they are from the south, says the Denver Stockman, do so through ignorance, and yet call them by some other name and they are taken readily. The truth of the matter is that southern cattle when well bred are as good as cattle bred anywhere else. The trouble has been that southern herds were allowed to run down, and too many of the dogey kind of cattle were shipped out Yearling cattle bred from good bulls and taken north direct from the mother, make the best cattle on the northern ranges and are money takers at every jump. The time is coming when Arizona, New Mexico and Texas cattle will be as popular and sell as well as cattle from Colorado, Montana or Wyoming.
