Her Love OF Adjournment and Extravs.
gancs In Gratifying It.
The love Of the Empress Josephine
for dress. and her ex~travagance in
gratifying it, are matters of history.
Her annual allowance of 6OO. 900 francs
was not sufficient to pay for the graf
itication OF her vanity, and year after
year her debts increased in the most
alarming fashion. Dress with her was
the absorbing object and interest in
life, and she was u%nwearied in her ef-
forts to preserve and enhance her
beauty. Three times a day she changed
her linen, and sht never wore stock
ings that were not absolutely new.
Huge baskets were brought to her
every morning containing a selection
OF gowns, shawls and hats, and from
these she chose what she would wear
during the day. She possessed be-
tween 300 and 400 shawls. n OF
which she wore in the morning. draned
about her beautiful shoulders with
wonderful grace. Her evening toilet
was as careful as that OF the morning:
then her hair was adorned with dow
ers, pearls Or precious stones. The
smallest assembly was always tho &C.
casion for buying a new costume, and
that In spite of having almost incredi-
BILE stores Of dresses at the various
palaces. For shawls the empress had
such a penchant that she bought all
that were brought to her, utterly re-
CARELESS OF the cost. The emperor, ex-
asperated at his wife's extravaganza.
often became angry and rated her
soundly, with the result that she wept
and promised amendment, and then
on just as before. Her love OF
dress never wore itself out. and she
died decked out in ribbons and a robe
Of pale r~ose-colored satin.

U BiNG IT IN.
The Maid Did Not Care So Long as the
Books Were busted Some Way.

Six months ago most of the books in
the library were new and had nice
clean bindings. Their owner went
away for his health about that time,
and as none of the rest Of the fanny
ran to literature the books were left
to the tender mercies of a serving
maid. Last week the man came home.
After stopping TO kiss his wife and
children he hurried into his library to
say hello to his books. They were SO
changed he hardly knew them. In
stead of the rich red and green and
blue covers hat smiled back at him
when he babe them goodbye, he looked
upon dingy cloth and leather that
seemed begrimed with the lust of
centuries. Without delay he called in
the maid and inquired into the aged
appearance Of his pets.
What did you dust them with?" he
asked.
"a rag" said she.
Lets see it," said the man.

he said, "if you have been grinding

twice a week. Why can't you girls
and library attendants in general learn
that no book should be touched with
a cloth that is not as soft as wool and
absolutely fresh and clean, and then
act upon the k~nowledge?"
The maid dangled the cloth indig.

Consumption of Ice In cities,

Efforts have been made to get estl.

Ice in the great cities. In New York
the annual consumption of Ice Is be-
lieved to be about 100000 tons. II
this figure is approximately correct. the
manufactured ice consumed during the
censais year amounted to SO per cent
Of the total consumption. Census
Office correspondence with several OF
the leading Ice manufacturers indicates
that the average cost Of production
was approximately S1.5O per ton. and
the average wholesale price 50; while
the average retail price varied from
fifteen to thirty cents per 100 pounds
according to the season of the year
In Philadelphia the annual consump
tlon OF Ice was estimated at from
100000 to 100000 tons, 342, ,602 toni
or which was represented by the local
production OF manufactured ice. In
San Francisco from 10000 to $4,000

From that inner prison into which the mis-

The JOY OF Christians in trouble, saws
