The Poet Did Not Contribute

'T am quite willing to contribute to
the-er-amusement of the evening" F"
interposed the amateur poet, who was
bursting toread his latest, and couldn't
get anybody to take the hints he
threw out.
There was sound like a groan
from a, corner of the room, and a guest
went out. The others prepared for
the worst, except one elderly man,
who pulled down his waistcoat with
an unnecessary show of determine
ton.
"rThe title of this little effort" the
poet went on, drawing roll from an
unsupported pocket is "The Raindrops
on the Roof. !"
"Well, of course it does, "exclaim ed
the elderly man. "Where would you
expect it to drop? When the rain
drops on any well-regulated house, ii
naturally chooses the roof. Perhaps
you expect people to take the roof Oh
when it rains? Or you think thai we
imagine that it drops on the founda.
ton, or in the umbrella-stand? Every
body else knows that rain drops on
the roof, young man, and they don't
want you to write poemto tell 'em.
If you can write one that will explain
why it rains when man goes out III
a new hat and without an umbrella,
we're open to hear it. -

ther to the amusement of the evening.

How Mrs, Parnell Lives.

Gently leased Trematon Castle, near
here. There she now lives in utter Sc
clusion, neither visiting nor visited,
aud, as far as I know, rarely steps
outside her grounds except to attend
the Church of st. Stephen 's-by-Sal-
tasn, near by. Her present home is
of the utmost old-world beauty,a great
portion of it still being exactly as it
was originally erected by its feudal
builders. The castle stands high and
alone, enbosomed in profuse foliage,
successfully isolatedfrom the environ
ment of its Cornish surroundings, but
still, of course, ndissolubly connected
with English history. From the casual
glimpse one catches of the famous
chatelaine IN church one can gain
some idea of the orermastering charm
and irresistible sweetness of her man.
ner. Mrs. Parnell, I believe, is pos
sessed of some wealth, and recently,
as sister OF Sir Evelyn Wood, she
successfully contested n probate suit,
which greatly added to her means.-

thefts occurred, but he adopted d
stratagem which turned out success
fully.-~A-small vial containing a mix
ture of picric acid and fuschlne Was
placed ina metal case for holding gold,
and few Napoleons were placed on

metal case had to- be held upside

Antidote Against StinSs.

According to DR.. Friedlapder, of
Wiesbaden, ele 'tricity is an antidote
against stings Of insects. His plan in
such cases is to apply'a constant cur
rent and to place a negative cathode
on the spot stung by the insect. Gal
vanization- produces a rather strong
sensation of burning, but at the same
time the pain from the sting dis
appears, and if the electricity is APP
piled very soon after the wound has
been inflicted there is little or no
swelling. The current, however, does
excellent service even if it be not ap-
Piled until after some time has elapsed,
for it removes the pain and also quick
ly reduces the swelling. The supposi-
ton is that the poison which the in
sect has injected through the skin, is
neutralized and rendered innocuous
by the current. DR.. Friedlander has
repeatedly made experiments of this
kind on persons who have been stung
by bees and wasps, and has invariably
found them successful. He naturally
believes that similar result would
be obtained in the casea Of persona
ssung by other insects,

L,ce Cont for the Gown.

Every gown has lace coat nova
days, aud probably no fashion of the
last quarter of century has won a
fonder place in the hearts of women.
The coats are not only pretty III thepS
selves, but are SO useful, so dresSsS
aid so universally becoming that only
the very diminutive woman has any
reason not 70 wear one. Handsome
lace is usually SO much capital" to
the woman who has to dress well, and
a lace coat is veritable economy, It
is elaborate enough for most formal
occasions, it can beworn with differ
ent gowns and it lends beauty and
brightness tola plain. unpretentious
frock as nothing else could. Two
verySbeeutiful evening dresses, made
with lace coats, were made for re-
cent=bride, The first was a rose pink
satin, with tight skirt ornamented at
the hem with several rows of tucks.
The lace { at was sewn with tur-
quoises md pearls, and q, little blue
sulle was lightly swathed around the
shoulders andforn,eyl the long sleeves.
which fell well over the hands. The
second frock had plain lace coat OF
,"cutaway" shape. but it reached to
within half a yard of the bottom of the
skirt at the back. 1t was slightly full
at the waist, and drawn through an
Old pearl and paste buckle at the back.
It was worn over q skirt of deliciously
fresh lettace-green meusse!ine de.soie.
AT the centre of the low bodice was @
posy of Parma riolets and q cluster of
pink roses nesting in bunch of lace.

Tha Coming Census.

There are many wild guesses as to
our population. From $4,000, 900 I'd
IS, 900, 900 is the ordinary range. Such
guesses are doubtless exaggerated.
Those persons who by experience
ought to know can at best give only
approximations. The highest estimate
from an expert, Mr.. Mccoy, govern.
ment actuary, is 77,676,0O the next
II, 1000, by DIR. Pritchett, superin,
tendent of the coast and geodetic sur
vey, while DR.. Wines, assistant dirso,
tor of the census, contents himself
with an even 77,OOO,ooO. These
guesses, foinded on the experience
and Investigation of these scholarly
officials, probably are near tie marks
and it will be interesting to see which
one comes nearest to the actual pop
ulation.

The Seven Wore hungry.

If one went to Paris today and
quoted Wordsworth's well-known
line, tie knowing boulevardier would
burst Into laughter. The explanation
is to be found in a story which is told
by the London Morning POSTS CORE
spondent. A certain Henrietta Pom
sot,a woman of 81, has seven children.
Her pleasing custom was TO enter a
likely restaurant Or: pastry cooks
shop and order say, a chicken and a
supply of toothsome cakes, the same
being served on table round which
were ranged her seven children. After
seeing the banquet fairly begun
Madam Ponsot requested the shop
keeper to accompany her to ''the Of
fce' to get paid. The "ofiice' turned
out to be the police station, where
payment took the form of the follow
ing explanation: '"The children were
hungry. It is no reason because I
have not a penny that they should
starve. At the present moment they
are eating the cakes OF this pastry
cook, who is waiting for payment. He
is likely to wait long time" The
result was that the tradesman left with
some precipitation to put period TO
the efforts of the seven young Ponsots.
The lady has been sentenced to four
months Imprisonment.

Minded by Sugar Fumes.

Several members, of the crew Of the
British ship Aladdin, which arrived
from Tagal and Cheribou with 1853
bags of sugar, in command Of Captain
Rutter, are affected with peculiar
blindness at night, which is thought to
have been caused by the fumes arising
from her cargo. When in the tropics
under the powered rays Of heat the
sugar steamed considerably, and to
this is ascrlbed the peculiar affection.
This, however, is not Captain Rutter's
opinion. as he claims it to be the re-
suit of the excessive use Of strong to-
bacco. Be tlIis rs it may it is never
theless n fact, that physicians arc puz-
zled over the cases, which are the first
that have been brought to their .atten-
ton. In the daytime the affected sail
ors can see perfectly. but Mt night
everything is shut off from their vision
and they are helpless in the way of
handling the ship
1T was when in the vicinity! of the
equator that the eyesight of several of
the crew became 50 peculiarly affected,
and Captain Rutter and his officers
have since spent many days of ex-
treme anxiety in fear that all hands
would become similarly stricken. -"
These men when. walking, about at
night would stumble over hatch comb
ings or anything else that might lie in
their way, so blind had they become,
bnt the instant the sun arose their
sight was restored.
Those familiar with the subject Of
deep sea ships say that while the ex-
periencc Of the crew Of the Aladdin
is. somewhat novel, it is not without
precedent, and that it is due wholly to
the poisonous fumes. that arise from
the sugar when. the vessels carrying it
are dn the heat Of the tropics.-Phila'

Sad Life ofa Queen.

! The evident beauty of the Russian
empress face is so overshadowed by
an expression of patient, pathetic
melancholy that she arouses sympathy
aud curiosity in every one. Undoubt-
edly the czarina is not happy wom-
an. Russian 'empresses have. little
enough to inspire content, and this
pale, pretty creature with the sad eyes
and mouth endures daily such tests of
her physical strength and moral cour-
age as few American women would
care OF consent for all the Russian
state anfs power to. undergo. Her
husband, or the whole, is kindly
young man, ,-who-is considerate, even
affectionate, but he can do very little
to mitigate the severe, even cruel
Russian court etiquette te'wkieh -sshe
must bow; with her he shares the daily
terror of assassination, and with his
people he laments the fact that the
empress has not yet given an. heir to
the throne. 80
In spite of her beauty and her Yir-
tues, the empress is not loved by the
Russian people nor consulted and con-
Aded in by her husband as her mother
in-law, Empress Dagmar, the dow
ager, was. She has neither the robust
physique northe ambitious interests
of the clever Jdowager, and court in
trigues, sGnabbles and etiquette dis
tress, disgust and fatigue hes. tits a
fact we'll known that up to the very
day before heg'beslTothal she resisted
the change OF her religion and Chris.

Narrow bias folds of Persian fou-

A pretty novelty is the feather boa,
made of plumes delicately tinted with
all the colors of an opal,
Lowering the waist line to bring il
down to point in front is one of the
new features of the latest modes.
Peggy Primrose, Bergere, Robes
pierre, Rejaue and Trelawny are the
names of the very latest round hats.
Blue in every shade is the leading
color in millinery, and the special
novelties are the combinations of vio-
let md forget-me-not blue and brown
with blue.
AL the shades of primrose arc a
pretty note in the fashionable scale of
coIors. Primroses trim our hats and
primrose chiffon sashes add quaint
ELECT to our simple muslin gowns.
The long lace ties that are so popu.
lar are very neat audairy for summer.
The careless, graceful bowknots ct the
ends are easily put on, ana making
the ties oneself considerably reduces
the expense.
Taffeta silk gowns trimmed with
cloth bands are one of the early spring
novelties and seem to be gaining i'll
favor. ;Incrustations of cloth on the
silk are also seen, and foulards, too,
are combined with the cloth decora-

walking hats and shephett'ess shapes
are trimmed with outstanding loops

line of black straw. This straw edging
is decided novelty on lace, and III
black and colors forms a conspicuous
