NOVELTIES IN CHINA SHOPS.
Highly Decorated Oyster Plate and
Complete Cut Glass Toilet Set.

Complete CUt UInSH IOtteC SET.
New York. Dec. lit Is seldom enough
that we can lay claim to anything abso-
lutely new" said the dealer and connoIs-
seur in china; but this is a genuine nov
city" and he pointed to a convave plate
not unlike the usual one for oysters, but
turned back at the end in a rim about an
inch and a half broad; that is to say
this rim fills up the usual space between
the shells and the edge of the plate. The
rim furnishes the background for all man
ner of charming and appropriate painted
decorations. Sprigs Of gay holly artisti-
cally grouped, delicate sprays of maiden
hair fern entwined groups OF shellhsh, ETC..
etc.
"The trouble with the old oyster plate"
continued the connoisseur. is that how
ever handsome 1t may be, the decorations
are rarely noticed. One does not see those
on his own plate as in all probability they
are covered with ice: and of his vis-a-vis,
all that is dlscernible is the bald white
underside. Now these give an exceedingly
decorative effect to a whole table-their
exquisite designs being In full view and
at once challenging attention. They are
still more effective when placed on an
other handsome plate; the hollow should
be filed with cracked ice. a small linen
doyley placed over the top, and then the
half shells.
IF you are looking only for what is dis
tinctly new, am quite sure that you have
not before seen a complete cut glass toilet
set for a boudoir. Unless / am greatly
misnformed, this is the first one ever
manufactured. The two sclntilating can
dlestcks the two large bottles for per-
fume, the two smaller for eau de CO.
logne with this other pair for whatever
liquids are desired-the cream jar, powder
globe, ring stand, pin tray-in all a dozen
glittering pieces on this mirrored tray
With the candles lighted and the bottles
filled with different and harmonzing coll
ors you can scarcely imagine a more bril-
Uantiy beautiful effect"

1t was Napoleon Bonaparte's inpru-
dence in eating that probably cost him his
empire. Thackeray alludes to Il In one Of
the finest passages even he ever wrote.
The tradition Is that at Lutzen, where
he swept the Rooshians, the Prooshaans
and things off the face of the earth, he
had a ut OF indigestion and was compelled
to take to bed. Now 1t was Napoleon's
strong suit to pursue a defeated enemy ana

greatest military combinations of his ca
reer, the most consummate military ge-
MUS he ever displayed was after Leipsic
and before the fall of Paris. Thus It APP
pears an innocent sheep changed the des-
tiny of all mankind. Napoleon's favorite
dish was chicken, and when he was at
the Tuilleries the cooks kept dozen chick
ems on spits, turning before the fire, each
fowl IN a different stage, one done, one
nearly done, not quite so done, and
so on, for Napoleon was just as apt to

He meant the Gordon Highlanders, ana
the pride of the killed regiment and the
pride of the Beers who opposed it was
satisfied. There were few officers left on
either side 10 tell the tale The sharp
shooters were able to distinguish the Brit
ish officers because they carried no rifles
and because they were always standing
up. That fact and the preponderating
part that British artillery has played in
the engagements thus far are the two
most important features of the campaign
yet brought 10 light. 1t is better policy,
perhaps. to have TO kneel than to have 10
lie down and wait for the litter bearers.
But Il is not in accord with the nature
of the Anglo-Saxon race Such an appall-
ing loss Of ofiicergSas the Gordon High
landers suffered In any great engagement
would be more serious than the loss of
twice as many as the number OF enlisted
men who fell. The men can take the bit
i'm their mouths and charge without the
assistance Of officers, but they cannot ma

GENIUS AND HEREDITY.
Remarkable Men with Notable De-

From the New York World.

From the New York World.
1t is a fact that many of the worlds
greatest men have left relatively inferior
children, or else none at all, but that does
not prove that genius is not hereditary.
1t shows that the method of life pursued
by the parents was not normal.
Alexander spent the prime of his life
away from home, engaged in foreign wars.
So did Caesar. So did Nelson. So did Ma
poleon, to a great extent. Alexander and
Caesar both had sons, but they were muir
dered for political reasons in childhood
Nelson did not marry until comparatively
late in life.
The most noted student Of heredity in re.
lahor to genius is Francis Gallon, f. Il.
s., who gives notable list of great com
manders who had great children The
Montmorency-C oligny- Orange connection
for instance, was very remarkable. In
this case the Due de Montmorency, Mar
shall OF France, had sister who married
g. de Coligny, also Marshal of France,
whose son was the great Admiral Coligny,
v hose daughter married William the ST.

The late Gen. Benjamin +. Butler was
an enormous eater; but he INDUCED In no
twelve-course dinners, with terrapin and
champagne on the list. He had a fine d.
gestion, a huge capacity, very large
brain, and healthy appetite to deal with,
and he ate plain food. 1t is said OF him
that he would go into a frst-class res
taurant order two large porterhouse
steaks and Graham bread and finish off
with innumerable buckwheat cakes. He
lived to a good old age, and his digestion
never failed him.
William NJ Evarts IS another public man
who was famous for his capacity to stow
away large quantities Of food when he
first came to Washington. Eyarts was a
disappointed man; his ambition was 10 be
chief justice of the United States Supreme
Court; but all his plans came to naught.
He was, even in his prime, a spare man.
though rather tall. People wondered
where he found room for the food he ate.

town twenty years ago / never saw him

would sooner have dined with Thomas r.
Bayard than with Francis Marion. Bay
ard was a famous epicure, but rather tenn
perate in the matter of dining. 1t was said
that there never was but one man who
could equal him in cooking a diamond
back terrapin. and thai was Reverdy
Johnson. The latter introduced the dia-
mond-back In England, and we never
had more popular representative at the
court of st. James. unless II was Bayard,
who reintroduced the famous Maryland
reptile into the swell circles Of London.
Daniel Webster was another statesman

quired enormous quantities OF fuel In the
