MAGNIFICENT LAzINEss.
New Orleans Tramp Holds tho Record
 for Ease.


 At about noon a fat and healthy looking, but phenomenally tattered. tramp sat furtively dozing on a bench in Lafayette square, says the New Or leans Times-Democrat. The nearby tablet of the goedetic survey aE- nounced that he was in exactly lati- tude 20 degrees 56 minutes 59 seconds and longitude 90 degrees minutes 9 seconds. but the fact disturbed him not. Leaning back luxurieusly, he ap- peared to be bursting from every seam of his dilapidated attire, and as he nodded solemnly, like porcelain man. darin. His legs were crossed and hls suspended foot was incased in shoe from which most of the forward por- ton of the sole was missing, exposing his bare and dirty toes from below. It was held to his. foot by string tied around his instep; in fact, he was lit- srally Ion his uppers," circumstance which bothered him as little as the goedetic tablet. Presently, in one of his waking intervals, be espied half smoked cigar stump lying on the pave ment about yard from the bench. For moment he surveyed it calmly, dispassionately, almost judicially. Then he executed a remarkable strat egic movement. Without stirring the upper portion of his body, he slowly uncrossed his legs, lowered his foot accurately and deliberately over the treasure troye, gripped it in convul- e4ye clutch of his toes, reversed the notion, raised his foot, carrying with it the stump. crossed his legs, lan- guidly stretched forth his hand and secured his prize A gouty elubman, who was out for a constitutional and who had watched the proceeding from another bench, was lost in admiration. "Why the man is wonder!" he ex- claimed to friend There is some thing magnificent, almost supernatural in such laziness as that! He has ele- vated it to an art, to a-but, hold, 1t would be 6 thousand pities if he wera disturbed for a match. I must offer him one!" The souty clubmaD aross with difficulty. hobbled down the walk. and, drawing a silver match=ease from his pocket, extended 1t with polite bow. The tramp manifested 10 sur prise, but slowly extracted match and ignited the stump. Tanks, he murmured and closed his eyes. He is superb!" said the clubman when hs

How the Country Host ess May Entertain
 Most AgreeabIy.
 Begin to enjoy yourself when your guests arrive-in fact, before they arr rive" is Mrs. John B. Sims advice ln the Ladies' Home Journal. Do not try to serve such an elaborate dinner that the work of getting 1t ready will draw so upon your physi- cal powers that they will be strained to their utmost endurance. When your visitors arrive greet them with a hearty handshake. make them feel that you are ready for their coming; speak of the pleasure that you hope the day may bring; compliment them on their good appearance; notice the neckwear, the dainty handkerchief; be thoroughly interested in each and every one. When the time comes for you to prepare the dinner and place it upon the table leave your guests as gracefully as possible. If the dinner be not too elaborate and the mental atmosphere be clear and bright your friends will come again. Eat to live and not Live to cat should be the motto of every household"

 DOROTHY DREW.

DOROTHY DREW.
 Dorothy Drew, Gladstones famous grandehild, whose loving companion ship added so much to the happiness of his later years, is the subject of a very interesting sketch in The Young Woman. We learn from it that before her 4th year her political views had become decidedly radical; to her mind the house of lords was a most repre- fensible institution, and the house of commons was the mai1stay of the na- tion. When the house of lords waA spoken of in her presence as the up per house, she would retort: You mean the house of commons!" She Ylsted the latter during her Sd year, aae for a time thought herself in eia.rca. The frequent rising and sit iaS of the members soon undeceived ser, however, and from these move T .1ts and the oratorical gesticulationa 9f the speakers, she fancied herself in a gymnasium--an impression derived from previous visit to such a place For some time after this the commons was "the place where granddad goes to do his 'nasties," or, on occasions. the place where granddad goes to do hjs lessons.
 Her visit to Queen Victoria was a momentous episode in her young life, and from tbe article above mentioned we quote the narrative Of her delight fuI experiences:
 Dorothy relates how she went down tue very long corridor to put on her new white frock and her silk gloves. and how a grand servant all dressed in red came to say that the queen was waiting. The Indian man whom the queen likes very much" was at the door, and the next moment Dorothy stood before the great queen whom her grandpapa had served for sixty years. But Dorothy thought nothing of the yastness of the empire, or of the length of the reign which all the world was celebrating. It was nothing to her that the kindly gray-haired lady before her was mistress of one-quarter of the whole human race. To Dorothy she was just another woman like grand mamma, with 8 white cap on her head; and Dorothy courtesied and kissed her and told her her name was stDorsie," that she called Mr. Gladstone "grand. papa that they all had pet names at the castle, and so on and so on; and many interesting pet names were re- VeaIed on both sides. The queen put on her glasses and asked me to go to the other side of the room. so that sbe could see me better" Dorothy ex- plains, and then she took little jewel-ease and said, This Is for you l opened it and saw a darling little brooch, with diamond v and a dia- mond k and 9 turquoise I, and little crown at the top made of red enamel. l courtesied and kissed her hand and said. Thank you very much She looked very nice and kind. and liked her very much. Then the queen kissed the little debutante again, and Doro- thy and her mother returned to town" ,"
 Kipling, who is numbered among the celebrities who have sought Dorothy's acquaintance. tells an amusing story of their meeting They had been in the grounds surrounding -Hawarden for some time together, when Dorothy's mother appeared, saying
 Now, Dorothy, hope you have not .ean wearying Mir. Kipling' "oh. no;
 .ot a bit" was the frankly unconyen-
 ional reply, MT Kipling has beea
 tearving me"'

The coal production and eonsump- ton of the world during the last fif- teen years are presented in some tables Just prepared by the treasury bureau of statistics.

As an exporter of coal the United States takes low rank in proportion to its production, and stands fourth in the list of coal-exporting countries In 1897 the expectations of coal from the United Kingdom were 4S,000,000 tons; from Germany, 12,00O,O00 tons; from Belgium, over 6.00o,O0O and from the United States, little less than 4,OO0,- GOO, though in 1898 the quantity ex- ported was slightly aboye 100000 tons.
