I always thought Amy De Brans-
Combe was me friend. So she was, as
long as Charlie was towing me around.
But would you believe it2 She was so
mad when she saw it was a rave on
both sides in this case that she tried
to hand out horror stories to him about
me
1T was my new friend that gave me
d peek at her hand. She's no friend
OF yours he says to me. She asked
me if you had put up the scream about
your jewelry being in pawn, and about
to run out2 he says, because I've
known you almost week, and you've
done nothing of the kind
i have no jewelry, I says to him.
Let them wear jewelry that isn't poor
but proud, 1 says.
Let her trot in her own heat he
says. And, anyway, if I could be of
any service to you in them regards I
would he says
i wonder what Charlie has done with
the ticket2 But never mind about
Charlie, let's talk of something else.
u guess you amt interested in dress.
If you was I'd ask you to come around
to the fiat and see me new griddle. It's
the lOveliest lid ever And a bargain!
Say, it was marked down from $50 to
S485S, because it was just damaged the
least bit; you couldn't notice it.
It's trimmed with a whole lace
shawl; don't laugh, and show your ig-
norance; hats is trimmed with lace
shawls this year. Lace2 Why, it's
nothing but lace. and my new griddle
IS one of the finest pieces Of new Cluny
you ever saw, with trailer al the back
clear to me shoulder. The real real
thing, not a Division street imitation,
and them limitations makes me wake up
and weep but the real anthracite. Yes,
indeedyi
Mamma Dc Branscombe says It don t
become rne-that a velvet toaue would suit
my profile better. But that's q scream be
cause Amy has had to fix over her cid
shape and has trimmed it With bit of
her old mink cape with the skimpiest bit
of Irish point: it looks like a ring-pong net
thrown over cat Yet. it's fur and lace
this season, and nothing else goes Why,

GERS frlends WheezeS on me!
We'll. as I was saying, I m sizzy about
lace. My people came from the oldest swell
families in Altoona, and. say, we had some
Of the finest lace you ever saw. If you
knew what was who about lace, the col
lection my mamma had would drive you
dOtty.
But don't mention it; say, if you men
ton lace in front of mamma her grief is
terrible, because we lost It. and III tell
you how it was Mamma had got it out to
clean it to put it away. and some of it was
that fine you could draw it through a darn
ing needle eye She wanted to stiffen it sp
a little before she ironed it, and so she
put it to soak in a little starch water in a
bowl, and put it up on the pantry shelf
That night papa is made exalted dignitary
of the Noble Knights of the Spotless Shield
and of course he comes home sOused-
In this state papa is pink appetite
He gives the pantry rummage and stf1k-
ing the bowl of starch water and lace he
sizes it up for tripe, gives it a dash Of salt
and pepper, and in few minutes his
dining room is hung with lace curtains
Mamma never fully recovered from the
shock. out to this day we dare not throw
il up to Papa for he's that sensitive that

New England Thrift.

The proportion of men and women
who retire on small completeness is
doubtless greater in Massachusetts than
in any other state in the union, unless
it be Pennsylvania, which is the other
state of DR.. Benjamin Franklin's resi-
dence But q man who has even the
most robust respect for the thrift of the
people of Massachusetts must be sur
prised 70 learn from the report of the
states bureau of labor statistics that
there are more than $4,000 such persons
-2S 900 men and 1900 women. Two
thirds OF them are native born, too.
The making of such an investigation
was characteristic of Massachusetts.
But it tells volumes about the careful
mana=emen that is part of the New
England temperament The New Eng
lander studiously saves and he invests
prudently. and when old age comes or
he has a wish to rest. he is willing to
stop work and 70 adjust his life to his
income; and he generally leaves a
legacy also to his children Any one
who has lived in different parts of the
United States has had many occasions
to observe what this official report con-
firms-that the native New Englander
has learned the art of living consider
ably below his income better than any
other man among us-World's Work.

SOUP AT SIS PLATE.
Peacock's Tongues at $50 and Other
ExtravAgant Dishes.

The most expensive dish in the world
consists of the fat legs of four small
birds, rare and expensive, no bigger
than juvenile pigeons, inclOsed in a
quail, which is placed in a teal. itself
wrapped inside capon-
A goose, the latest and tenderest OBJ
tainable, and a fine turkey also play
important parts in the preparation OF
this DISH but the four small legs from
the inside of the quail are alone served
up the other birds being employed to
add their flavor to that of the four legs,
in which duty they are assisted by lib
eral basting with rare wines.
This dish is said to be sufficiently
delicious to soften the heart Of the most
callous epicure, but. Of course, the great
est thing in its favor is its prohibitive
cost. It is occasionally served IN a GER
tain London restaurant. and single
order costs about $50.
Peacock's tongues form the basis OF
another fashionable dish, and though
they are sufficiently expensive for most
DeoDle it is really the things added to
them and their treatment which makes
the dish so costly.
1t takes a dozen peacocks' tongues to
make a dish large enough to be clearly
visible to the naked eye, and such dish
would add anywhere from $l9 to $50 10
dinner bill, according to what other
delicacies were employed in creating
the dish.
rTurtle-fin soup is yet another choice
course calculated to allure man into
the bankruptcy courts, though It's
cost is comparatively trifiing, enough
to cover the bottom of soup plate
being obtainable in many hotels Tor
the mere bagatelle of $40, unless 1t mas
been elaborated. as it often is, when II
occasionally runs up to $40 per head on
the bill.
Probably the most expensive soup t.
be had is that for which the talented
we were almost writing inspired =
chef of Paris restaurant is noted.
Much mystery (as is usual with French
dishes) exists as to what it is made OF,
but one of the chief constituents Is
woodcocks' legs, stewed very gently un-
til the flesh falls off the bone. The re-
sultant liquor is then allowed to cool,
equal portions of two wines are added.
and then it is ready to be prepared IN
all earnestness 1t costs $16 every tins.
A dish invented by Paris chef in
honor of a dinner given to an actress BY
some of her admirers consisted of the
most delicate portions of thirty geese,
ten turkeys and some woOdcOcks, pre-
pared in a sauce obtained by stewing
the tender meat of four sirloins of beef
and leaving only the turkey element
to be served up with truffles. The cost
of the course was $780, not because OF
what it consisted, but of all that was
wasted in its preparatlon.-New York

EVOLUTION OF THE CLOCK.
Contrivances Used Be-
fore Our Modern Timepieces.

A primitive form of sundial probably
furnished the earliest systematic
method of measuring time. Instruments
for marking the lapse of time are
found in both the Bible and Homer
The Chinese made use of gnomors
probably fifteen centuries before Christ
There were many kinds of sundials enl-
ployed by the Greeks and other nations.
The Romans used obelisks. to which
good gnonons were applied. Both the
Romans and Greeks employed men and
women to announce the hours, as indt-
Gated by the public gnomons. There
was a ring-dial in the large ship of

meter, in use by Grecian navigators,
which was constructed with wheels. ana
seems to have been the fore runner of
the modern clock. But he does it so
scantily that it seems probable that ir
was not long in popular favor. AS
sun-dials were of no use at night or III
cloudy weather, the need of something
better gave the ancients the water
clock. 1t has been proved that Chal-
deans and Egyptians made use of
these. The cleDsydra is perhaps the
earliest form Of water-clock. The prin-
ciple of this instrument was very SIM
pie. The water issued t..JD by drop

clocks moved by weights, which struck
