when You Upset Your Wine.

From the London Chronicle
There is curious superstition in Italy
that there is something very lucky about
wine which IL upset by a guest, and that
every one at table should promptly dip his
finger in the flowing liquid A well-known
singer explained this custom the other
evening when he was dining at a ducaI
table and was so unlucky as to upset a
glass of wine on the cloth. He instantly
dipped his finger in the wine and made the
sign of the cross on his throat, explaining
to the company why he did so. Every one
present dipped finger in the wine and
made a little cross for luck" even the
duke himself The singer crossed his
throat because his fortune lay in his voice

so busily will also be housed in this
building.
Within few days work will begin on
substantial addition to the store
building. 1t will be two stories high

letter to him. A few days later, how

"My Dear Lygia-It seems that you

powers. Address instead the simplest,

Coat For Slim Figures.

A slim figure looks well in one of
the fashionable travelling coats which
We're invented in London. No rubber
is used in these elegant affairs, which
are made of waterproof cloth of light
or heavy weight as preferred. One
feature of them is a shallow yoke on
the shoulders. and all the fullness and
length of the actual garment, which Is
extra long, depend from this yoke.
Another feature is the yoke and sleeve $
being cut in one piece; this is quite a
novelty in tailoring. The yoke is seal
Hoped downward in three broad waves,
back and front. There is no seam
where an ordinary strap would be set
in, but a strap of cloth is stitched
outside from the collar across the
shoulder and covering that seam and
down the sleeve to the wrist, where
it vanishes behind the small turnback
mousquetaire cuff.

JOG Cooper an old western mining

where they were talking about a re-
rent pretty stiff poker game on

Cooper to say: 1.-THE funniest poker
game ever saw was between the late
Senator Tabor of Denver, mining
promoter Of the name of Fields and
Granger to both that was played on a
kpowbound railroad train near Dillon,
Colo, in the winter Of 1890. We four
were the only passengers In the only
sleeper on the train. Fields proposed
poker. l stayed out. Tabor had two
bars Of gold worth perhaps $4,000
apiece which he was bringing up from
one Of his. at that time, producing
mines. Fields had a checkbook, and
the stranger had some currency. The
game began with one Of the $4,000
geld bars as a buck 1t lasted eleven
hours. Tabor had $1,000 worth Of
Fields checks besides his own gold
bars, and the stranger was just 81

Al Told By Queen Victoria.

The Empress Frederick. who died at
Cronberg recently, was not fifteen
years old when her hand was asked
In marriage by her future husband.
Queen Victoria tells the story in her
diary on the date Sept. 90, 1855:
"Our dear Victoria was this day en-
gagged to Prince Frederick William Of
Prussia, who had been on visit to us
since the 14th. He had already spoken
to us on the Goth Of his wishes. but we
were uncertain on account of her ex-
IRENE youth whether he should speak
to her himself or wait till he came
back again. However, we felt it was
better he should do so. and during our
ride up Craig-na-Ban this afternoon he
picked up piece Of white heather (the
emblem Of good luck) which he gave
her, and this enabled him to make an
allusion to his hopes and wishes as
they rode down Glen Girnoch, which
led to this happy conclusion" Years
later on another Goth of September a
touching entry ran: "Vicky's and
Fritz's engagement day-already twen'
ty years ago. God bless them"
