A PRICELESS NAP OF FRANCE.

The average Frenchman mus
have had q definite sense of Russian
friendship when at the Exposition o
1900 he saw the Jewel map o
France presented to the nation by til.
Tsar of Russia. 1t was priceless be
cause unique, says a writer in til,
Windsor observation-disclosures many On
the precious stones employed to max,
it are found in Russia alone, and every
one found becomes the property of the
imperial treasury.
The map, which is now in Louvre !
is forty inches square. The waters OF
the ocean are represented by whit |
ish-gray marble. The ground work OF
the general design is Jasper. Portions
of neighboring countries are uniformly
shown in slate-eolored jasper; but the
eighty-seven departments of France
are done in many colors and gradations
of color, from pure white to deepest
red.
1t must not be supposed that the
pieces of jasper that represent the de-
partments have been shaped anyhow"
They allow faithfully the outlines
laid down in official maps of the coun-
try. So cunning is the workmanship
that no joints show at the boundaries,
and the eighty-seven pieces have been
fitted together with artistic regard to
the effect produced by the contrasting
and blending of colors.
The rivers of France are numerous
and long In this map they are dupli-
Gated by threads of platinum that,
sunk in the yellow jasper, shine like
silver. But to most visitors the chief
attraction of the map is the one hun
bred and six precious stones that mark
the cities and towns-these places
being indicated also by their names,
embossed in letters of solid gold.

and there it stops, enchanted by the

A farmer in Pennsylvania lost his
wife and married another and took her
to his home within a week after he
had buried the first one. The neigh
bors thought he should have waited n
little longer, and went around on his
wedding night to express their dis
approval. They had a horse fiddle and
tin horns. and made distressing ia elk
ct. When they were well under way
the farmer appeared on his porch with
his new wife, and shouted, angrily:
Get away from here; you people
ought to be ashamed of yourselves to
make a disturbance outside a house
where there has just been a funeral.
Have you no respect for the dead?''

KAUAI SOCIETY

A very dainty afternoon tea was
given Friday afternoon by Mrs. c. A.
Rice i'm honor of her sister Mrs. w. H.
Scott who is soon to leave for her
home in San Francisco. The pretty
home by the sea is especially fitted for
entertaining and in spite of the in
clement weather nearly all the ladies
who were invited were able to attend.
The house was tastefully and daintily
decorated, the main reception room
nearly entirely i'm pink begonias and
carnations predominating. The piano
was banked i'm roses, noticeable
amongst them being a beautiful bowl
of pink La France roses from the
mountain home of Mrs. Hans Isenberg.
Some very fine chrysanthemums were
also commented upon as being as
large as those grown i'm California.
Mrs. A. ID. Hills. who has just re-
turned from an extended visit returned
from an extended visit to her home in
San Francisco, charmed all with her
sweet rendering of More Ever" and
Sing me to Sleep" and Mrs. W. H.
Rice Jr., sang Island of Dreams" and
happy manner. Most pleasant also
were the beautiful selections for the
piano given by Mrs. De Breatteville
and Miss Mabel Wilcox. The gloomy
weather without seemed to inspire all
present with quite the opposite feel
ings, and the afternoon passed all too
quickly, amid music and laughter and
gay sallies.
Refreshments were served in a large
room at the back of the house This
room was most artistically decorated
in red and green. The wells were
covered with graceful vines and large
vases of beautiful red poinsettas band
asparagus, covered with red berries
gave quite an air of Christmas to the
room, and tea tables, each with each
dainty cloth and vase of red carnations
gave a finishing touch.
Refreshments consisted of tea, sand
wiches and ices. cake and candies. At
leaving all Joined i'm thanking Mrs.
Rice for very pleasant afternoon
