Eishskin Lanterns.

The puffer or swell fish has the DOW
err to distend itself with air into the
shape of a globe. Japanese living in
the Hawaiian Islands make of the skin
of the big puffer found in Hawaiian
waters an odd and grotesque lantern.
When the skin of the big puffer has
been first removed while it is still soft
it is stuffed cut to its full size in globe
shape and so left to dry The skin is
not much thicker than paper and
translucent brown on the upper part
and gray below. The fins are pre-
served and dried sticking out from the
fish, the tail being perked up at an an
gle A circular opening is made in
the back, through which the light can
be placed and in which is set horizon
tally hoop or rim by which the Ian
tern can be suspended. Such a Ian
tern made of a big buffers skin may
be foot in diameter crosswise and
fifteen inches in length, and what with
the head of the fish appearing at one
end and the perked up tail at the other
and the fins projecting ct the sides this
fish skin lantern makes a very curious
object.-New York Herald.

find it extremely difficult to overlook
each others little failings. Jane
views with alarm Harry's tendency to-
ward unpunctuality his fondness for
smoking, sport, athletics and male So
ciety, and last but not least his dispo-
sition to please himself and have his
own way. And her alarm is increased
when busybody. friends hint that such
characteristics spell disaster after mar
riage. Consequently, Jane ventures TO
reprove Harry, and this wilful lover
resents her lectures, and possibly pro-
ceeds to point out certain failings In
herself. The result, of course, is a
quarrel and disagreement which is re-
peated as the ones failings clash with
the pleasures Of the other.
If, however, Jane exercised a little
tact and common sense shut her eyes
to outside talk, and endeavored to find
an excuse for Harry's little faults,
she would be surprised to find how
quickly her lover would recognize her
tolerance and endeavor that she should
have no cause to complain on the
ground of selfish or inconsiderate con-
duct.
Men are not so thoughtIess as the
majority of people would have us be-
lieve, and the girl who shows forbear-
ance toward a lover who exhibits lit
tie traits which do not exactly please
her, is generally sure to find that he
loved her the more for so doing, and
is careful that he on his part does not
complain or grumble when his sweet
heart runs counter to his desires.

A Favored instruments.

The story is told of newly rich
woman who on the occasion of her
daughters wedding gave a large recep-
ton, for which music was furnished by
,rrnc>ira OF Twelve pieces.
The leader of this orchestra was a
violinist who had achieved a social as
we'll as a professional success, and the
rich woman evidently wished to recog-
nize this fact and make clear her
knowledge of it.
When the evening was half over, the
butler approached the musicians, who
were having short intermission, and
in his loftiest manner he said, after re-
ferring to a paper in his hand:
The violin eats in the dining-room
the rest of the instruments eats in the
Dantry."
