were to mingle with the guests. they
mingled completely.
Now the young society women who

many. Several of the women who
danced with the detectives are so angry
they say they will attend no more o1

Sir Francis Montefiore, who succeed
ed that wonderful centenarian, Sir
Moses Montefiore.
But, after all, there never was such
luxury in any house as that belonging
to Nh Price, Of Rhwlys. Wales. All
sorts Of wonderful things took place
there. For instance, the guests found
stamped envelopes, telegraph forms
and receipt bills up to Ell, four or
i've different soaps on the wash
stands. and scents of several kinds
on the dressing tables. Tn the ladies'
rooms there was every conceivable
kind of hair pins, while pins to match
exery colored dress were placed in
pin cushions.
At night, it is said, sandwiches and
whisky and brandies and sodas were
placed on one side of the bed. while
ON the other were black draught pills
and several kinds of medicines. Va
rious carriages were placed at the die

When Winter wraps the world In white.
And silent lie the snowy dells,
'Tis sweet to hear amid the night
The cadence of the fairy bells
They seem to set the winds astir
with eerie music soft and low,
And gently shake the modest fir
Clad In its garb Of spotless snow.
They tinkle neat the watchful stars.
Whose beams upon the whiteness fall,
And as they near the meadow bars
What recollections they recall!
The trysting tree which Summer kaows
And clothes in hues OF living green,
Stands out against the sky and throws
Its lordly shadow o'er the scene.
o Winter bells that tell of mirthl
Thy music fills the heart with JOY
And makes paradise Of earth
A lovers year without alloy;
Across the fields there seems to come
The music which Of pleasure tells,
And every hearth and every home
Rejoices at the winter bells
hear them echo where the snow
Lies softly on the frozen ground.
And where DEFENDERS winds are low
list to catch their merry sound;
A maiden at the lattice waits.
For swiftly through the moonlit dells.
Toward her hearts wide-open gates.
A lover rides behind the bells.

Eating Railway Iron.

Iron for the blood has evidently been
prescribed for the quails of Florida; at
least these birds are eating steel rails
on the tracks of the sugar belt near
Runnymede. The report, which is well
authenticated, does not charge the
quails with swallowing the rails, but
it does say that they pick away their
particles wherever they find rusty
spot where they are loosened. From
several points in the state comes the
report of holes found in steel rails, and
in cases they are large enough to seri.
ohsly weaken the material. Where a
rusty spot starts and is picked out IL
naturally holds moisture. continues to
rust, to be again picked at, and so the
