Trouble with the Napery.

Linen kings can make trouble east
" for the housewife with their three
jointed microscopes for determining
the number of threads to the inch in
any article of table linen. One visited
a friend the other night and after din
ner exhibited a handkerchief worth at
wholesale $3.50 apiece. 1t was very
beautiful under the microscope The
hostess then looked upon napkin and
afterward upon tablecloth. Now, she
thought up to that moment her napery
was the finest in the block, and the
revelation Of the wide meshes caused
the most bitter disappointment. Ever
since her misery has been complete.
When "linen kings" go out socially
they had better leave their microscopes
at home.-New York Press.

Java,s Boiling Lake of Mud.

One Of the greatest natural wonders
In Java, "the fire island" a large lake
of boiling mud, is situated almost in
the center Of the plains Of Grobogana,
fifty pals to the northeast Of Solo.
It is almost two miles in circumfer-
ence, and in the center immense col
umns of soft, hot mud may be seen
continually rising and falling like great
black timbers thrust forth and then
suddenly withdrawn by giants hands.
Besides the phenomenon of the columns
there are two gigantic bubbles near the
western edge which fill up like huge
balloons and explode on an average
three times per minute.
