QUEER SIGN LANGUAGE.

The sign language, once forming
such an extensive part of the human
vocabulary, and still used with much
profit. is not unknown to lower or
ders of life" said a man who takes
much interest in matters of this sort
according to the New Orleans Times.
Democrat, land / have had occasion
in my time to observe some rather
impressive instances: Some of the
signs are understandable Many OF
them are plain as words of human

but there are many mysterious
and altogether inexplicable things to
be found in this strange realm OF
signs. Every sign means something
We may be sure of that. 1t is part
and parcel of speech. 1t conveys a
meaning definite enough to the crea-
lures in the particular order of life.
But there are so many signs which
are not followed by results which
throw light on their meaning that
the field becomes one for interes ting
speculative inquiry. What does the

DUCHESS IN sLUMs.
Her Grace of Newcastle Lives In
Whitechapel, the Most Degrad-
ed Part of London.

The rich and handsome dowager
duchess of Newcastle, who lives by
preference in Whitechapel, London's
worst slum, has at last consented to
tell the story of her slum life. She's
not intellectual, at least she says she
isn't, but she tells good story of
her home in Whitechapel in the cur
rent number of the Pail Mall maya
zine, and, furthermore, she has given
us few pleasant opportunities to
see how she lives. Her grace says
among other things that she thinks
there is more morality on the White
chapel side of London than in the
West end. She says she never be-
gan to know the value of money I'M
til she moved from Mayfair. She
thinks it would do society good if
they'd give up comfort for part of
their time and see how high their in
come seemed when spent in White
chapel, on Whitechapel proportions.
The duchess is an English edition
of Jane Adams. Philanthropy has
found in her grace an ardent advo-
cate. When she forsook society for
the poor, the duchess was thought of
merely as beautiful and rich wom-
an. Ten years of Whitechapel life
have shaken her up considerably, and
the English have begun to take her
seriously.
While Miss Adams is a st0dent of
economics, the duchess is urging peo-
pie to go to mass. She visits the sick
and befriends the orphan. Commit
tees galore claim her grace as mem
Der, and she's very much in with the
clergy of the Catholic church. Even
the pope recognizes in the widow of
the late duke of Newcastle q valiant
ally, and when she visits her daugh-
ter, Princess Doria, in Rome, as she
is doing now, all sorts of favor is
shown to her in high places, all of
which is very different from Miss

Addams, far removed as her life is
from Journalism.
But the two are in some ways alike.
The duchess is much older than Miss
Adams, although she looks nearer
40 than 60. In expression, these
women resemble each other closely.
They seem to have absorbed the same
calming influences from their contact
with the slums. In fresh coloring
they are alike and in full figure,
while 1 was struck by their similar
ity of taste in dress. The last time
/ saw Miss Addams she wore a Sc
verely plain tailor-made gown, from
which the duchess might easily have
copied the dress she has had on
every time 1 have met her. The Eng
lishwoman and the American are
both simple of manner and gentle
voiced. Each is fired by the same mo-
tive-an overwhelming sympathy for
the worlds under dog. IS
The dowager duchess of Newcastle
has been twice married. Her second
husband, musician and a man with
out title, died before her grace
went into philanthropy She kept
her title by courtesy. It's title, by
the way, that May Yohe might one
day have had if she had stuck by
Lord Francis Hope. For Lord Francis
Is heir to the present duke of New
castle and is the younger son of the
woman, who looks like Jane Adams.
Journalism is a fad with most of
the Newcastlers. The little lame
duke is a high church Anglican, al
most Roman Catholic, like his
mother, who left the English church
to go to Rome. The chapel attached
to Clumber, the family place in the
north of England, is the finest private
place of worship in England, but the
hninitiated would think it Roman
Catholic, not Anglican. The duke has
Some democratic tendencies. For in
stance, he taught his little nephew's
soverness to ride the bicycle, and
trotted along beside her day by day
regardless of the weather. The pu-
nil, moreover, was neither young nor
beautiful. His grace was merely

Ele.

BABY'S FIRST CRADLE.
An Idea from France Which Deserves
to Be Adopted by Young
American Mothers.

When baby first comes to reign il
nursery land, don't put him into {;
cradle right away for his 20 hours C,
sleep a day! The custom that thu
French have of providing a dainty
bassinet is not only pretty idea
but practical one as well. The bas
sinet can be placed where one wishes
and its depths of luxurious comfort
prevent all danger of draught.
A pretty homemade bassinet car
be made out of an ordinary clothes
basket. Make the lining by quilting
with a thin layer of cotton between
two thicknesses of any soft material;
then fasten this in place around the
inner sides by baby ribbons, sewed al
intervals and fastened to the wicker
work of the .bassinet.
The handles can be wound with rib
bon and tied with a finishing bow

DAINTY BASsINET.

and the outer side of the basket can
be hidden by graceful valance cur,
tain hung from the top and gathered
to the edge of the quilted lining. Il
one wishes, canopy can be added
by fastening wires in an arched
shape to the side at one end and
shirring the same material used for
the valance closely to the wires, let
ting the extra fullness fall at the
sides to the same length as the val
ance curtain.
A pillow placed in the bottom OF
the basket, and baby's rest is com
plete, and there is no temptation to
rock him to sleep! One OF my tod
dlers came with the June roses, and
1 made for him a homemade bas-
sinet. Then 1 would carry it out On
the piazza for his morning nap, and
I could read or sew while he slept
and both of US were better for
breathing the fresh air.-Orange

THEY LACKED TACT.
True Stories of Two Women Who
Made Remarks That Had BETTER
Been Left Unsaid.

A woman who would consult her
husband on his deathbed as to what
mourning she would wear for him
might fairly be pronounced lacking in
tact. You agree with me? l should
not hesitate to say that she had not
proved herself a perfect wife. "Mon-
strous!" I hear you say. Yet this
really occurred the other day. The
woman in question belongs to that
class in which reticence is a quality
almost unknown, and in which argu-
ments are conducted by means of
lighted paraffine lamps and sharp
edged tenders. Think of the poor
man clinging to life and cherishing a
hope that he would get better, and be-
ing plunged into an abyss of desolation
by the wife of his bosom murmuring
tenderly in his ear: 'The doctor saws
you are too far gone to recover, AIRY.
What sort of widows bonnet shall /
buy?"
Several instances of a want of tact
have come before me lately. One was
the case of wife who had gone abroad
and sent home a foreign postcard to
the following effect:
Safely arrived, and have just en-
joyed the first well-cooked meal 1
have had for months"
Her husband wrote to her:
What madness possessed you to
write whatsyou did on a postcard? You
have bitterly exasperated my mother
and her cook, and the house is in such
a turmoil in consequence that 1 am
most uncomfortable"
The peccant wife's reply was this:
81 can't forgive myself, and I am
sure you will never forgive me for
writing that idiotic postcard. You will
scarcely believe me when 1 tell you
that writing in Germany, as 1 did,
some ridiculous idea possessed me that
a postcard in English could not be I'M
derstood. forgetting that its destina-
ton was England. y London Truth.

How to Make Kalsomine.

One pound of uncolored gelatine
glue, as free from grease as possible.
is soaked over night in cold water suffi-
cient to cover the glue. Thirty pounds
of English cliffstone Paris white, bolt
ed or best boltSd gilders' whiting, is
also soaked in sufficient water to make
a paste over night and next morning
both are heated with steam or over a
moderate fire in a water bath to the
boiling point and when the glue isfully
dissolved the two materials are thor
oughly mixed. In summer time on
cooling, a small portion of carbolic
acid, say about one-eighth of an
ounce, diluted with water, is added for
each pound of glue used in the afore-
said formula to keep it from souring,
and in this way the kalsomine will
keep for some weeks. 1t is said that
the workmen rather like this prepare

eyties.-Painter's Magazine.

WASHINGTON AS FIREMAN.
Gave Alexandria It's First Engine and
Once Helped Work the
Brakes.

When Washington went to the con-
gress of 1774 at Philadelphia he ex-
amined the fire engines in use in
that city, and on his return to con-
gress the following year he bought
from one Gibbs a small fourth-class
engine for s. 80 10s., relates the New
York Tribune.
Just before he set out for Boston
Heights to become commander in
chief he dispatched the engine to the
company in Alexandria. The COM
pany has always been a central in
stitution of the city. and it's member
ship made up of the foremost citi-
zenS.
During the revolution, when the
British came up the Potomac, the
Friendship company manned one of
the gunboats that went down to
meet the enemy, and the old minutes
| of the company record that only one
of the monthly meetings was ~sus-
pended. because the company had
stopped fighting fire and gone to
fight the British.
In the last year of Gen. Washing
tons life a fire occurred near the old
market house in Alexandria as he
was riding down King street, fol-
lowed by his servant, also on horse
back. He saw the Friendship COM
pany poorly manned. Riding up to
group of well-dressed men who
standing on the street he called out:
"Why are you idle there, gentle
men? 1t is your business to lead in
these matters" and throwing the
bride of his horse to his servant he
leaped off and seized the brakes, fol-
lowed by a crowd that gave the en-
CINE such a shaking up as it never
knew before nor since.
The last active service that the en-
CINE performed was nearly 25 years
ago, and, although it was purchased
by Gen. Washington at small cost,
it has perhaps saved as much prop
erty as any fire apparatus now in ex-
| istence
