In Holland it is still the fashion for
ladies to wash the dainty china and
silver after tea or breakfast in the pres
ence of the family and guests. The
same fashion has recently been revived
as a fad among American women and it
is not only appreciated as giving an air
of domesticity to the meal, but also
for the practical reason that a lady's
gentle handling is needed if pretty glass
and china are to be preserved for any
length of time. Had our grandmothers
entrusted the washing of their tea SER
vices to the care of their maids, heir
looms Of beautiful old china would be
rarer among US than they are now.
To wash china such as Dresden and
c~oalport, the f1uted surface of which
Is hard to cleanse properly. use a very old
soft shaving brush and hot water and
soap. To dry dab 1t over with a very soft
towel OF old piece Of linen until all mois-
tire seems removed. The shaving brush
gets into every little crevice n IS q very
valuable. little instrument for china wash

 Wen man kwits doing rong and max in blunderze he will then hey nuthin to do do but boast oy how good ana wize he iz, and oy how much he otter get fur it.
 I hey seen men hoo he'd no faltz, put I wuzzent shoore wether thay he'd any wirtooze or not. A bee without stinger is hard to distinguish frum tumbull bug.
 Its eezy at first to play the mean man. but by n by wen the crowd gltz onto yoore curves it will bat 700 awl over the ground and put you over the fence and out.
 No man haz right too establish law or custum that will live to oppress the living after he iz dead and deeaid. Let the living govern themselves, If thay are fit too live at awl.
 A grasshopper iz a small and joocey thing, and a mocolotive kin crush thousand oY 'em, but I wunst saw so many oy 'em on the railroad that the engine Wuz completely stalled and stopt ded.

Worn bv Owners of Valuable Gems ssr
 Various Reasons.


 New Orleans Times-Democrat: Ac' cordiug to an expert goldsmith. the practice of wearing fake replicas of valuable diamonds is considerably more common than one would sup pose. It is usually done by people who are in temporary straits and wish to borrow little money on their jew elry without exciting suspicion by It's absence. Of course, such a thing as a paste diamond that would stand even the briefest scrutiny of an expert does not exist outside the pages of romance, but those who are known as the owners of handsome gems can wear an imitation with good deal of impunity. 1t never occurs to any of their friends that the familiar stone may be a substitute and 1t is passed with at most a casual glance. 1t is said that 8 number of these doubles exist in New Orleans. They must be specially mounted to pass muster. and the job when properly done, is far from easy. Some years ago a local JGAEIEl haa GHAAltlo5i 5iOttIb tp AiAe@hD 1 paste duplicate of a lady'5 bg eelet. It was a narrow hoop of gold set with 10 perfectly matched britliants weigh ing about two carats each and alter mated with a similar number of very handsome emeralds There was no telling exactly wbat the trinket was worth, for the value of such things Is largely arbitrary when they are titled to be chased as unique, but it ran some distance Into the thousands The setting of the stones, which was Of the style known technically as gypsy" that is to say, flush the metal-made them rather easy to initiate, but when the work was partly done the jeweler grew suspicious that it was intended for some improper purpose and refused to proceed without an explanation. The man who gave the order, who was a stranger in the city, poeketed the ori- ginal and disappeared in some agita- ton. He was never seen again. and there is doubtless a queer story behind the episode The half finished brace let is still in the jewellers safe

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Remember if you marry for beauty, thou bindest myself all thy life for that which. perchanee, will neither last nor please thee one year and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at aIE-Raleigh.
 Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of Gods best gifts. It involves many things. but above all the power of going out of ones self and seeing and appreeiat- ing whatever is noble and loving in another.-Thomas Hughes.
 It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hard ly put upon a man more than he can bear Worry is rust upon the blade It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery. but the friction. Fear se- cretes acids but love and trust are sweet -BeecaeF.
 Hold sorrow till its most selfish as. peet passes. till it turns it's religious side to you; till time and experience and faith do their work; till we feel not it's gloom, but it's glory; not it's cross, but it's crown. Do not through any device, lose it's sanctifying inhu- enee, the greatest loss the soul can meet-J. ?. W. Ware.
 Secure a good name to myself by liY- ing Eintuously and humbly, but let this good name be narsed abroad and never be brought home to look upon it. Let others use it. for their own advantages lot them speak of it if they please; but do not thou use it at all but as an in- strument to do God glory and thy aeighbor more advantage. Let thy face, like Moses, shine to others, but make no looking glass for thyself.- Jeremy Taylor.

SKILL IN EMBROIDERY
Was an Accomplishment and Pastime of
 Early English Queens.

Was an Accomplishment and Pastime of
 Early English Queens.
 New ' York Tribune As far back as the time of King Athelstan's reign in England the art of embroidery had reached a high standard throughout continental Europe. The four sisters of the Briton ruler were famous for their needlework, and for another quality they possessed namely. that Of attracting a remarkable number of guitors, who were drawn, it is assert cd, by the charms that this feminine accomplishment gave to the fair work CTS. The wife of Edward the Confess sor had an absorbing love for the art, fin which she exeelled many noted women of her time In those days the Anglo-saxon nobles were known abroad by their gorgeous costumes, woven of silks and wools and embroid- cred heavily, and this work took the place in continental esteem that is to- day occupied by the Eastern embroid- cries brought into England The Eng fish embroideries were so much prized that the popes and other potentates were proud to accept gifts of garments made by the needlewomen of England Throughout Europe the finest specl- mems were done in the epoch bound- Cd by the eleventh and fourteenth cen- turies. At the South Kensington Afu. scum, in London, specimen of the finest work of that time is exhibited It was done by Englishwomen some time about the year of 1250. The sub ject is Scriptural. as were many of the most noted pieces of the age.

The whlstlIng Tree.

The "whistling tree" is so called from the wind in it's branches making q sound like flute. It is the ''tsofar" of South Nubia, and yields the gum of Senaar. Dr. Schweinfurth has shown that the sound is caused by holes bored in the spines of the branches by an insect in order to suck the gum. The splnes, in fact. become little flutes.

The Nnnher Seven.

The most intelligent ritualists are agreed in common with the Roman Catholic church that there are seven saefaments. How they came to fix on the exact number of seven Is not so well known. nor do they seem to be quite sure themselves. Peter Lombard and St. Thomas did not invent the sanctity of the number. seven. but only inherited 1t When once the assump- ton had been made that numbers had some hidden meaning and when the assumption had been consecrated by religious tradition, it is eae~ to see how seribes and Pharisees builded on il an imposing but shadowy house of cards. Thus. when seven had been received as Che perfect number. it was inevitable that the six gifts of the spir- it named by Isaiah should be corrected into seven; that seven mortal sins should be classified to be set straight by seven saeraments. But what is more to our present purpose is to in quire how the assumption came to be made. The answer to this question may be given once. The sacredness of seven rests on the regard paid. in the oldest astronomical system known to us, to the seven planets-the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Strength os the nrooklyn Brldeo.

The recent discussion by engineers of the safety of the great Brooklyn bridge under the increased strain caused by the addition of trolley and elevated ears to it's moving load, has brought out some interesting facts about the huge structure. At present the total strain upon the cables is 1S,974 tons. but their ultimate strength is 49,2oO tons, so that the factor or safety" is S.52. It would not be possi- hle to crowd enough moving load upon the bridge to break the cables. The immense auchorages of masonry 10 which the ends of the cables are fast ened have been moved forward by the pull of the cables one-eighth of m inch in eight years. The natural lit99 of the bridge is reckoned at 2.O00 years
