Rather Rude,

Not long since an attractive young
visitor asked me, quite seriously;
"What must girl, and stranger at
that, do when she is left at card
partly"
when she has no escort, do you
mean?"
30, no! l was not referring to even
ing parties. Of course no gentleman
would ever be guilty of leaving girl,
deliberately, in the way mean. But,
at afternoon card parties, when the
game has been finished, and the maids
have begun distributing napkins and
table-covers, if two or three of the num-
Der should suddenly make wild dash
for table at the far end of the room,
leaving you alone, or almost alone, what
would you do? Dash, too?"
"Well, hardly" | laughed. "But
you don't seriously mean that this has
happened to you?n
Indeed do. 1t seems the girls are
in the habit Of planning to eat refresh
ments together, no matter where they
happen to be at the wind-up of the
game. The consequence is that at some
tables six or seven have to be served,
and at others only two. Of course you
can understand that number of con.
genial spirits can have a better time all
grouped together but for the few who
are left it is Notifying, and unusual
and then 1t crowds up some parts of the
room so that it delays serving badly"

fancy work and cookery suitable for

DRIPPING.

No feature of our business has
been more appreciated the past
year than the Draping Depart
mant. One reason is because we
have such an abundance of beauti-
full things that no other store would
think of carrying. Another rea-
son is because we understand drap-
ing. Our patrons do not find us
helpless when something original
and artistic is wanted. Copying
is not difficult for anybody, we
should Judge; but copying we
leave to others, Originating is
our speciality.

Jenner as an Eater.

The late DR.. Jenner, the famous Eng.
fish physician, was great tea drinker and
very abstemious, never taking any stimu-
liant except u measured glass Of brandy
when he had indigestion. Once for that
cause he lived on stewed chops and rice
for luncheon and dinner, with tea, for a
couple Of years; but ordinarily he was a
great feeder.
II recollect," says his friend, DR.. Coop
er Bentham, ION one occasion Reynolds
came to see him. Jenner was at dinner.
He had soup, fish, the greater part of a
chicken, and he was in tho middle of a
huge rice pudding when Reynolds entered
and asked him how he was. Jcnner drew
pitiful sigh and replied, I am not ut
all wcll-no appetite. ~
Jenner was no smoker and had no hob
by or rccrcative resource outside his pro-
fcssion of any kind. He invariably refused
society Invitations, and, says Dr. Ben
than, CHS power of commanding sleep
was marvellous :"

Saucer of MILK Plays q Part In Q
Threatened Tragedy.

Dinner was just finished, and several
English officers Were sitting around the
table. The conversation had not been
animated, and there came n lull, rs tho
night was too hot for small talk. The
ma or of the regiment, clean cut man OF
IS, turned toward his next neighbor at
the table, young subaltorn, who was
leaning back in his chair, with his hands
claspe,Ibehind his head, staring through
the cigar smoke at the ceiling.
The major was slowly looking the man
over, from his handsome face down, when
with a sudden alertness and in quiet,
steady voice, he said: Don't move, please,
Mr.. Carruthers. want to try an expert
ment with you. Don't move a muscle.
GAN right, major" replied the subaltern,
without even turning his eyes. Hadn't
the least idea Of moving, assure you!
What's the game?" by this time all the
others were listening In a lazily expectant
way
"Do you think, )" continued the major
and his voice trcmbled just a little-''that
you can keep absolutely still for, say, two
minutes-to save your life9" Are you
joking," "On tho contrary, move mus
Gle, and you arc n dead man. Can you

whispered, Dyes and his face paled
slightly. Burke" said the major, adj
dressing an officer across the table, pour
some Of that milk into saucer and set 1T
on tho floor hero just at the back Of me.
Gently, man! Quiet"
Not word was spoken as the officer
quietly filled the saucer, walked with 1t
carefully around the table and set 1t down
where the major had indicated on the floor.
Like u marble statue sat the young subal-
tern in his white linen clothes, while
cobra di capello, which had been crawling
up the leg of his trousers, slowly raised its
head, then turned, descended to the floor
and glilcd toward the milk Suddenly the
silence was broken by the report of the
majors revolver, and the snake lay dead
on the floor. THANK you, major" said
the subaltern as the two mon shook hands
warmly. "You have saved my life!"
"You're welcome, my boy" replied the
senior, "but you did your share. ''-Scot-

SOUND WAVES.
Some That You Can Only Feel and
Cannot Hear.

Cannot Hear.
The deepest note which can actually be
heard by human cars Is produced by an
organ Pipe 80 feet long. If you throw
stone into II pool, you will see number
of ripplcs spreading after the splash in
circles. II you blow whistle or beat
drum, you make II splash of the same kind
in the air, and tho ripples spread out all
round. When they break against the
drum of the human ear tho brain is con-
scious of a sound. If tho little waves or
ripples in the air are quite regular in the
proportion of 5, Is, 80 ripplcs per second,
the results are perfect musical notes.
Now, the so foot organ pipe produces
exactly IS waves or vibrations every sec
ond. When the dead march in "Saul"
is played, for instance, on the grcat organ
of st. Pauls cathedral, that note may be
distinctly heard, like the boom of artil-
lcry, shaking tho whole building to its
foundations.
But deeper notes than that can be felt,
though they make no sound. In the thun-
der of Niagara-a cataract which is rough
ly 1877 feet high-a note is produced cx-
actly the same as that from 100 foot or
gan pipe. Listening intently, you can
feel the shocks and actually count them
as they beat upon the cardrum at the
ratio of eight vibrations second.
Yet even that is not the deepest note,
for when the volcano of Krakatoa blew up
in Sunda strait every observatory in the
world very shortly recorded the explosion.
The delicate meteorological instruments
actually recorded note of four vibrations
second, which could not possibly have
been heard by mortal ears-London An
