Veranda Furniture.

wicker or willow, bamboo or rattan
holds the first choice for verandas,
not on account of its lightness, but
because moisture will not hurt it.
The dampness that is the result of
heavy night mists does it no harm,
and it does not suffer even from a
good wetting. The shapes in which
such furniture comes are of almost
endless variety. Long settles and
short ones, deep arm chairs that must
be piled with cushions to be the acme
OF comfort, low rockers, great sleepy
hollows, chairs with pockets for news
papers or work, chairs with a rack for
a book or writing tablet-there is no
end to them, and they come in all
colors. One may take them in the
natural tint. in dark green. in bright
red, in soft gray, in brilliant brown.
One of the best shapas of chair for an
invalid or for any one who fears
draughts, has low seat with q high
hooded back, which protects alike
from rain and sun. Inside, the chair
is fitted with pockets that will hold
papers, letters, or light literature-an
ideal summer cozy-corner for the old
or delicate member of the family.
The cushions that make the chairs
and couches luxurious may be taken
in at night with the rugs that should
carpet the floor of summer parlor.

her FONDEST WISH.

They were walking down Main Street,
talking of old school days. The elder Of
the two women was entertaining the fond,
familiar friend" of her girlhood who had
just arrived on a brief visit. The visitor
had been two years married, and her
whilom school friend had marveled at the
change marriage had wrought. The old,
lmpulsive laugh had given place to a sigh,
the quick step changed to dragging pace.
The face was sallow, the eyes were dull.
Just then there passed them a comely
woman with bright, healthy complexion,

Hard on Their Hands.
From The Philadelphia Record.

The trolley ear conductors, especially
those who are still young enough to feel a
sense of pride in their personal appearance
are glad that the open cars are being taken
off. Did you ever drop a coin into the hand
OF a conductor and allow your finger tins
to come in contact with his palm If SO
you have discovered that his caIlous paIm
is almost as hard as iron. This doesn't
come from handling coins, as one might
suppose. 1t comes from walking along the
side steps of summer cars. and swinging
from rail to rail with the hands, for all the
world like monkeys at the Zoo. Six months
of this continuous contact with brass rails
makes the palms OF the hands hard and
callous. 1T takes long time to get the
hands in good snaps again." said a young
conductor yesterday. My hands will just
about be getting soft again when the open
cars will start running next SPRING

Robbed of It's Poetry.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The following anecdote would seem to in
dictate that ancestral mansions are not all
that they are cracked up to be- A young
society woman, member of an old and
aristocratic family, was married last week
The family, In addition to a town house,
have an old place in the suburbs, where
their ancestors lived for generations. The
wedding reception was scheduled to take
place at the city house. What pity!''
exclaimed Of the bridesmaids q few
days before the great event. 'If 1 had an
ancestral mansion such as yours 1 should
surely be married there instead of in town. -
The prospective bride shifted disdainfully.
Il just guess you wouldn't If your ances-
trail mansion had glove factory on one
side of it and glue works on the other
such as mine has," she replied

Marriage brokers are a regular institu-
ton in Italy. In Genoa there are regular
marriage brokers, who have pocket books
filed with the names Of the marriageable
airls of the different classes, with notes of
their figures, personal attractions, fortune
and other circumstances. These brokers go
about endeavoring to arrange connections
in the same off-hand mercantile manner
which they would bring to bear upon a
purely business transaction, and when thew
succeed they get a commission of or per
cent upon the portion. with such extras or
bonuses as may be voluntarily bestowed by
the party.
