1t has come to pass that there is
a vast difference between appealing

to go moping about It,"
Dear, didn't want the coat, but to-
morrow Is your birthday, and l had
hidden a ring and a nice bank note in
the inside pocket l wanted to surprise
you, and l couldn't think Of better
hiding place."

LACE BARK TREES.
The Many Uses to Which Their Airily
Light Fabrics Are Put.

There are in all about half a dozen
lace bark trees in the world, so called
because the inner bark yields natural
lace in ready made sheet form which
can be made up in serviceable articles
Of apparel. Only four of these curious
species Of trees are of much practical
value. Tourists who have stopped at
Hawaii or Samoa may recall the lace
bark clothing of the natiwes-clothing
Of neat brown color when new, of re-
markable strength and of a fragrant
odor, like freshly cured tobacco leaf.
made from the bark of the brusoneta
papirifera, but 1t Is not usually includ-
ed among the real lace bark trees.
In its natural state the real lace bark
Is Of delicate cream white tint 1t is
probably kind of fibrous pith. When
the outer bark is removed it can be
unfolded and unwound in one seamless
piece, having a surface of little
more than a square yard. Washing
and sun bleaching give it dazzling
white appearance. The fabric is airily
light. 1t is used in the West Indies for
mantillas, cravats, collars, cuffs, win
dow curtains-in word, for every pur-
pose that ordinary lace is used. In
making up shawls, wells and the like
it is customary to piece two sheets Of
lace bark together. Delicate and ap-
parently weak as it is in single mesh, a
bit of lace bark, If rolled into a thin
string, will all but resist human
strength to break it.
Despite Its practical use there Is no
essential demand for lace bark. 1t has
been used by the natives for hundreds
Of years and yet is comparatively little
known to this day. A few specimens Of
lace bark articles exist in different
countries Of Europe. These were made
hundreds Of years ago. vet, although
their age is considerable, they are said
to be in good state Of preservation

FALcONRY.
1t Was q FavOrite Sport Of Many
English M0nnrchs.

It Was . Favoritc Sport Of Many
English Monnrchs.
Richard l. when IN the Holy Land
amused himself with hawking on the
plain of Sharon and is said to have
presented some Of these birds to the
sultan. Later on, while passing through
Dalmatia, he carried off a falcon which
he saw in one Of the villages, and lie re-
fused to give it up. He was attacked
50 furiously by the justly incensed vii
layers that it was with the utmost diff
ficulty that he managed to make his
escape.
King John used to send both to Ire
land and to Norway for his hawks. We
are told by Froissart that when Ed
ward III. invaded France he had thir-
ty falcons and every day either hunted
or went to the river for the purpose Of
hawking. Henry VII. imported gos-
| hawks from France, giving "a for q
single bird-a much greater sum in
| those days than at present. Henry
VIII. while hawking at Hitchin was
| leaping dixie when the pole broke,
and the king was immersed head first
into the mud and would have perished
in all probability had not his falconel
dragged him out.
Elizabeth and James I. were much
interested in the sport. The latter
sovereign indeed expended considerable
sums on Its maintenance Aubrey II
his "Miscellanies" says, when l was
freshman at Oxford l was wont tt
| 60 to Christ church to see Charles I
at supper, where once heard him say
that as he was hawking in Scotland ht
rode into the quarry and there fount
the covey of partridges falling upon th'
hawk, and l remember his expression

A W0ftersa Walk.

Some interesting particulars are CIV
en- as to the ground covered by a wait
er in dancing attendance upon the
guests in a restaurant in Christiania.
The waiter had provided himself with
pedometer before starting his work.
According to his calculations, he took
rather under 100000 steps, covering
some thirty-seven miles, between 8
a. m. and 1890 a. m. Working (and
walking) four days week, he calcu-
lated that he covered more than 1000
miles in a year, which would seem to
work very seriously, unless, indeed, the
pedometer was fast" - Westminster
Gazette.

Crystallized Grasses.

Grasses may be crystallized as fol-
lows: Place saucepan partly filled
with water on the stove and in it dis
solve enough alum to make it Of suf-
fcient density to bear an egg. Let this
boil. Take off the saucepan and lay
your grasses dried and tied in punches
to suit the fancy in the water. When
the water is perfectly cold lift out the
bouquets and you will find them a
mass Of beautiful crystal.

Keep Your Brain Busy.

DIR. Duke, the leading English brain
specialist, says the trouble with most
brains Is that they are not kept busy
enough. The brain ought never rest
except during sleep, and most persons
take too much Of that. A good. healthy
circulation Of blood would be main
tanned in the brain II professional men
would relax themselves from their in
tellectual pursuits, not in golf, but In
chess problems and scientific investiga-
tions.

cold so distressing that it interfered with my
business. had many of the symptoms of hay
